Reborn As a Pirate

The Pirate Empire of the Caribbean...

In front of Lorraine are two small wooden frames framed with glass and nanmu. The wooden frames are lined with fine French velvet and a transparent film as thin as a cicada's wing. One behind the other, a small, triangular Type chart fragments.

Hannah was sitting next to Lorraine.

As the first companion since going to sea, she has always had special trust in Lorraine's heart, and she can tell her everything, and both of them take it for granted.

Katerina stood opposite Lorraine, and a series of earth-shattering secrets of the pirate empire flowed out of her beautiful mouth, constantly washing away Lorraine's traditional understanding of the word history.

Lorraine never thought that the pirates in the Caribbean really built an empire, and the founder of that empire was the famous Henry Morgan.

In 1671, almost 100 years ago, Captain Morgan led his army to capture Panama, defeating the Spanish army with a complete victory.

This is a battle of conferred gods.

After this battle, his previous glorious record was sublimated, and even among the pirates of the Caribbean who lived for freedom, he became the only leader who deserved it.

He unified the pirates of the Caribbean.

After gaining supreme authority, he came to Turtle Island at the northern tip of Hispaniola, surrounded by pirates, and challenged Jean David Nou, the Dutchman who was in charge of the Pirate Brotherhood at that time.

They fought for two days in a one-on-one naval battle. In the end, David Nor was smashed to the mainmast and lost his laurels.

The crowned Captain Morgan tried to revise and improve the codes that have been passed down in the pirate world for hundreds of years, and compiled them into a book, which is the "Pirate Code".

This code made him truly emperor, the first and so far only pirate emperor in the Caribbean.

He established the empire on the basis of the Pirate Brotherhood, and at the enthronement ceremony, he conferred seven pirate kings, each of whom was a famous pirate at that time.

He also referred to the senate system of the old Roman Empire, declaring that the emperor was supreme and his subordinates were equal.

The Brotherhood of the Sea is the senate of the pirate empire, in charge of the "Pirate Code", and has the right to interpret, arbitrate and amend the code.

The seven pirate kings sealed off one side of the border and had absolute command over the sea under their jurisdiction.

He also stipulated that every pirate should be treated fairly, and even the emperor could not deprive him of his life and property.

After doing all this, he returned to England with a huge amount of wealth. By bribing the king of England, he was knighted by Charles II and served as the vice-governor of Jamaica.

He became a wealthy businessman, an official who presided over a party, an invincible sergeant, and a respected planter. At the same time, he was still the emperor of pirates.

Port Loire became the imperial capital of the pirate empire, and Ile de la Turtle was the residence of the capital and the Brotherhood. This order remained unchanged throughout his lifetime, and lasted for 14 years.

In 1788, Morgan died of illness.

Before he died, he unexpectedly did not pass his throne to his heirs, but justly divided the huge wealth into two, leaving only fixed assets to his descendants, and hid gold and silver treasures worth more than one million pounds. Into a secret.

He said to the world: "Want to get my wealth? I hid them there...that is only the emperor's inheritance."

This selfless act prevented the collapse of the pirate empire and allowed Morgan to maintain his supreme authority until the moment of his death.

He convened the Brotherhood of the Sea to revise the empire's succession system. In this system, these rare sea charts were used as tokens in front of him.

Lorraine gently stroked the glass surface of the chart, as if realizing something: "These charts are the charts of the treasure land?"

"Yes, they point to the pirate emperor's treasure trove, representing untapped wealth and Caribbean supremacy.

"

"Then why do you want to cut it up? Or who would cut it up out of boredom..." Speaking of this, Lorraine opened his eyes wide, "Seven pirate kings, scattered sea charts, is the way to inherit... seven Wang Duogui?"

"As you said, the succession system of the pirate empire is seven kings winning the crown."

Katerina took a deep breath, and with a little fear and hatred, she began to explain the inheritance rules of the pirate empire.

Taking the treasure land as the midpoint, the treasure map is subdivided into one core and twenty one periphery.

The core piece was preserved by Morgan's descendants, who vowed not to participate in future battles for the throne for generations, while the remaining 21 pieces were sorted, with three pieces for each person, and were handed over to the seven pirate kings for preservation.

Only the Pirate King who has obtained all twenty-one charts can request the last one from the Morgan family.

Only the person who finds the treasure can become the new emperor.

These are the two basic principles of succession to the pirate empire.

There are still some details left.

For example, the recovery of charts.

After the Pirate King dies, his chart will be recovered. The Brotherhood of the Sea needs to pay heavily to those who submit the map, and elect the three most prestigious pirates to inherit respectively.

These three people have become candidates for the Pirate King since they accepted the chart, and began to enter the second-level competition, competing for three to save one.

And the title of Pirate King.

Each pirate king has its own title, and the general structure is a combination of nickname and name.

Pirates in the Caribbean are secretive about the surnames given by their families. Under normal circumstances, they will only disclose their surnames when they are married, executed or wash their hands in the golden basin.

Just like Caterina, her title is "Caterina the Red Hair", until she joined the Chamber of Commerce in Lorraine and gave up her identity as a pirate, she officially restored the surname Dibo.

But not every pirate king can use his title.

The Pirate Code stipulates that the pirates who accept the results of the brotherhood's election will be protected by the code. Before officially becoming the Pirate King, other Pirate Kings cannot attack them. As a price, they are not allowed to use their titles after becoming queens, and can only inherit from the previous one. The honorific title of One Piece is called World X.

Only those who are not the result of the election can use their own title to replace the title of the previous king, but at the same time, they cannot enjoy the protection of the code.

The Brotherhood will do everything possible to make his identity known to the public, and everyone who has a desire for the chart can attack him until he becomes emperor, or the chart is taken away by others.

That's most of what the code says about inheritance.

Lorraine touched his chin: "Who are the current pirate kings?"

"Most are honorary titles inherited from the golden age, namely Cotton Jack VII, flagship Bloody Mary; Blackbeard Edward V, flagship Queen Anne's Revenge; Black Baron Pavlomy IV, flagship Royal Bliss ; Henry VI the Hound, flagship Phantasm; Pirate Prince Bellamy III, flagship Vader; Thomas the Fly, flagship Majesty, six in all.”

"These charts belong to the seventh king?" Lorraine asked, pointing to the two charts in front of him.

"It used to belong to the branded Mansfield II. Whether it is me or the Black Mamba, once all three charts are collected, they will be honored as Mansfield III."

Lorraine couldn't help but fell silent.

"First question." He asked, "Is their ship an old ship from the time of the first owner of these titles or a ship of the same type?"

"No, it is an honor for pirates to inherit the name of the ship while inheriting the title. Some people regard it as a curse, and think that if they don't do this, the wraiths entangled in the title will drag them down to the bottom of the sea."

"Second question, is there a second emperor in history?"

"No more." Katerina whispered, "The pirate closest to the throne in history is the first Pavlomy. He seized eighteen charts, controlled the Brotherhood of the Sea, and revised the code, but until his death, He also failed to find the whereabouts of the last three charts, and it was not until the third year after his death that Bellamy II's charts were handed over to the Brotherhood of the Sea by a sailor and received a huge reward of 3,000 pounds."

"Is that so...he failed to find the whereabouts of the last three charts..." Lorraine muttered to himself, and suddenly asked, "Katerina, what do you think I should do with these two charts?"

"Hand over to the Brotherhood anonymously." Katerina didn't even think about it, "Owning them, you are making enemies of the pirates in the entire Caribbean Sea, which is not wise."

"But how do they know I have the charts?"

"The Brotherhood has a huge intelligence network. They can easily find out that I was on the Golden Hart, and the Golden Hart also sank the Black Mamba. Now I am your first officer, just a little deduction..."

"Yeah, they will eventually realize that an outsider has mastered the chart." Lorraine smiled, "Lorraine and Edward are both suspected, but they probably didn't expect that Lorraine and Edward are the same person."

He stood up suddenly and dusted off his leather jacket: "I accept these two charts."

"you……"

"Katerina, you miscalculated one thing. We are businessmen. Since we will come to the Caribbean Sea across the ocean, we are ready to fight against pirates. The question before me is not whether I want to , but not worth it.”

"Then do you think it's worth it?"

Lorraine avoided talking about Katerina's question, and just laughed happily: "Let the pirates come to me. I am participating in this competition for the pirate king."
