Pirate Kingship

"A gloomy throne placed on a pile of skulls.

That is the emblem of the West Coast Pirate King [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Hayre Ding!!"

Almost no sailor who has a little experience in the Bantaan Islands does not know what this pirate flag represents.

The Bay People pirates who came here from Anchor Bay with Byron are better.

Many Bantaan pirates who are from the local area can't help but exclaim:

"Barbarossa, Ocean Throne!"

Byron, who already has a lot of cutting-edge intelligence and has received the memories of many local [Undead Servant], certainly has heard of this name.

Just like the Bloodthirsty Order's Zerg and Major General Newman, their faces became a little solemn when they heard the name of [Wild Hunt]:

"It turned out to be the Barbary Pirates?

But that's right.

With the temperament of these guys, it is reasonable for them to plunder all the forces of all sizes on the East Coast without discrimination, even their fellow pirates.

After all, this is a group of bandits who started out by plundering the Pope of the Holy Silver Empire!"

That's right, it's the Pope who is supreme in the Old World except for the Creator.

As we all know, the three major pirate groups in the world today are:

The East Coast Bay Pirates with the longest history; the West Coast Barbary Pirates, which were once powerful and full of legends;

The Southern Bantaan Pirates, which gradually took over the banner of the first two and have the most vitality and development potential.

One of the reasons for the previous attack on Iron Anchor Bay was that with the advent of the Age of Discovery, a large number of powerful Bay Pirates and Barbary Pirates all migrated south to the Bantaan Islands, where the official power was weaker.

Only here can they provide fertile soil for them to keep moving forward on the road of [Pirate].

The old continent is left with only a bunch of old, weak, sick and lazy people, and naturally gradually declined.

The status of the fifth-level pirate king [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Haile Ding among the Barbary Pirates is equivalent to the status of [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold among the Bay Pirates.

Moreover, he has a twin brother named Barbarossa Haile Ding, who is also a famous pirate.

Because of the iconic blue hair, there is another title of [Blue Hair] that is not clear at first glance.

It is said that with just a simple look, the most brutal pirates can be paralyzed to the ground and surrender without a fight.

In particular, the Barbary Pirate Group led by these two brothers has also received the support of the Star-Moon Empire, the strongest country on the west coast of the old continent.

Even in the Bantaan Islands, it is far more powerful than the Bay Pirates where the Pirate King [Whale Hunter] disappeared.

They robbed the richest Castile, the royal Habsburg family of the Holy Silver Empire, and even the church's ships.

But they are still living a comfortable life, and have even begun to plan to establish their own pirate kingdom in the Bantaan Islands.

This shows how powerful these Barbary pirates are, and how many enemies they have made!

"This is a group of lunatics who will not let go once they bite, it's not easy to deal with them."

Even if the ships under the Pioneer Navigation Colonial Company are all pirates, they know that the legendary pirate king of the fifth level cannot come out to rob in person.

Just thinking of this name, I can't help but frown, and even the privateer fleet that has just been integrated has some morale fluctuations.

"The Ten Commandments of Pirates, Commandment Six: Those who delay the opportunity will die, and those who escape in the face of battle will die. Do you want to pee in your pants in front of those lunatics?"

Fortunately, the natives of Chichen Itza and the pirate officers stationed on the privateering ships suppressed them, and the morale was stabilized again.

The pirate captain on the flagship boarded the forecastle surrounded by a group of men wearing white turbans.

He was a huge fat man who was over two meters tall and two meters wide.

He found that the pirates on Byron's side had recognized the faction he belonged to, and his face full of flesh was smiling more and more wildly.

Standing at the bow, he took out an hourglass from his waist bag and placed it on the bulwark.

The yellow sand flowed quickly, giving Byron's side a huge psychological pressure.

His voice also turned cold:

"The flag is the Pioneer Navigation Colonial Company under the Hattings Colony? An unknown nobody who has never been heard of.

However, it doesn't matter if I don't know you, as long as you know who we are.

The return route of this route is already full of us Barbary pirates. If you want to pass through here, you have to pay a toll.

Before the hourglass runs out, put down your weapons, anchor the ship, and accept my search by [Fat Dragon]!

If you cooperate well, we will only take 70% of your harvest and leave 30% for you to go home.

How about it? Are the Barbary pirates very kind?"

After saying that, he pulled down a conch with special symbols engraved on it from his waist and blew it hard.

Beep——!

The sound that human ears cannot hear spread rapidly under the water.

Then a dark behemoth suddenly emerged from the water, raised its head high above the water, and looked down at everyone with a fierce look.

It has a diamond-shaped head, similar to a cobra's head, with a mouth at the front end of the head, and several rows of extremely sharp teeth arranged inside.

Each tooth is like a trident, with three spikes, and the overall shape is like a gear with spikes.

The most terrifying thing is its gill clefts, which have as many as six pairs.

There is a wrinkled flesh membrane and bright red flesh fins between each pair, like a horrible torn wound.

The red fleshy fins extending from the gill slits vibrated violently and made a strange and harsh sound, causing many pirates to subconsciously cover their ears.

This is a [Small-sized pseudo-eel] whose combat level is about the same as a fifth-level cruiser.

It looks like a combination of an eel and a snake, but it's actually a very ferocious alien shark.

"A sea monster, a sea monster."

Alfred's urgent voice of [Blood Red Whiskey] also came from a nautilus on Byron's waist:

"Captain, that is the sea monster crawling at the foot of [Throne of the Ocean].

I heard that the pirate king was a wilderness-sequence beast tamer who trained a giant species [Deep Sea Hell King] whose subjugation level was at least as good as a first-class ship.

Relying on the special ability of [Deep Sea Hell], an unknown number of sea monster legions were cultivated.

Those who perform well among the Barbary pirates may be given a sea monster.

As long as you blow the special conch horn, you can summon sea monsters to fight for you. "

Seeing the panicked look of the pirates on board the privateer fleet, the other Barbary pirates led by [Fat Dragon] all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, when they heard that we only wanted 70%, these guys were so happy that they were overwhelmed, right?"

"Yes, this route connecting the east and west of the Bantaan Islands will be named Barbarossa from now on.

Not only do you charge 70% today, but you have to charge 70% every time you pass by here.

We are not robbing, the Pirate Kingdom of Barbarossa is collecting taxes. "

"By the way, next time if you send it directly to our station, we can only charge you 60% tax.

Our tax officer will also issue a tax bill to you. With it, you will no longer be robbed by Barbary pirates. Isn't it great? "

In fact, most pirates are not a group of bloodthirsty maniacs. They all like to kill people for fun. In the final analysis, they are just looking for money.

They also knew that if they slaughtered all day long, everyone would be frightened.

When you encounter pirates and know that you will be killed, you might as well fight to the death.

Therefore, if the pirates massacre wantonly, not only will the efficiency of the robbery be low, but they may also be easily involved.

In the future, there will be more troubles, merchant ships will never leave here again, and the way of making money will be cut off.

It was also easy to attract revenge from the navy, and he would be beaten and hanged on the beach.

So although the Barbary pirates were crazy, there were limits to how crazy they could be.

This time they faced the fully loaded Pioneer Pilot Colonial Company.

They were used to using the reputation of the Pirate King to rob, and they never felt that a group of little-known pirates dared to refuse their requests.

I even feel that I am very generous and have not exhausted my efforts to catch the fish, which is countless times better than those colleagues who frequently raise the blood flag.

But in Byron's view, even if they only wanted 10% like the Maritime Court of the Kingdom of Hattings, it was completely unacceptable.

“If we surrender without a fight, we will pay tribute and taxes to these Barbary pirates.

The privateering fleet that was just established, and the little centripetal force that led them to successfully plunder and cultivate in the city of Transcopan, will immediately fall apart.

Others might be able to back down, but I can't.

No one wants to follow a weak captain.

Just like in troubled times, no wise man would follow a prince who only wants to live in a corner and does not want to conquer the world and achieve unification.

If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Not to mention, you will have to pay them every time you meet them in the future. This is nothing else, this is all money!

Want to collect my taxes? There is no way!

However, even if we keep all this group of people here, it is not appropriate. I hate this kind of guy who has a strong backer behind him.

We have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds and get past this level first. "

So, under the gaze of many pirates behind him, Byron raised his hand.

The six direct pirate ships under his command lined up to form a battle line, with their guns exposed.

At the same time, there was a red light in his eyes.

The group of man-eating sharks following the Golden Deer immediately surfaced and swam slowly around the Golden Deer.

A large black shark fin also makes people realize that they are not easy to mess with.

Moreover, this group of man-eating sharks has been growing in size. The largest one has exceeded the ten-meter mark, and the others are also seven or eight meters long.

Such a bunch of behemoths are no more intimidating than one or two sea monsters.

If it weren't for the abundance of materials in this sea, we really wouldn't be able to support them.

When the [Fat Dragon] on the opposite side saw this, he couldn't help but show a hint of fear in his eyes.

“This privateer fleet is so well-trained?

Could it be that the intelligence is wrong and this is not a fat sheep that is easy to bully?

If I hadn't told them, I would have thought it was Hattings' regular army fishing for law enforcement.

With so many big sharks, this is also a trainer? Or did it rely on some kind of forbidden knowledge? "

Even if he has a sea monster under his command, winning against twenty-seven may not be guaranteed.

Moreover, if the manpower under his command suffered heavy losses from such a tough guy who couldn't even deter the name of the [Pirate King], his status in the Pirate King's fleet would definitely plummet.

At this time, [Fat Dragon] saw Byron holding a wisp of sea breeze floating in his hand, slowly falling to the top of the bow girder of the Golden Deer.

When he spoke loudly, the ubiquitous wind also carried his voice to the ears of [Fat Dragon] and other Barbary pirates.

“Since you are so confident that you will collect taxes on the east-west route, why don’t we take a big gamble.

According to the common rules of the pirate groups to seize territory, "fighting ships" or "fighting generals", I choose fighting generals!

If you win, I will give you all the things I have robbed from the Azik Empire this time.

But if you lose, then go home and hand over the tax collection rights to me.

By the way, you don't want your men to suffer heavy losses, right? "

Showing strength and squeezing again, Feilong, who was already afraid, was forced into a corner.

"You"

Before he agreed, Byron jumped off the bowsprit like a hunting hawk, took advantage of the wave crest, and swooped down on the pirate ship of [Feilong].

"I [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor declare war on you, winner takes all! "
