Shipwreck Bay is an island with a very special geographical structure. It is surrounded by cliffs and has only a narrow gap to enter and exit the bay.
The special geographical environment makes this a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the natural defense barrier, pirates can gather here and defend it for a lifetime if there is sufficient food.
However, considering their urinary properties, a lifetime is too long, and it is quite possible to use a quilt!
Shipwreck Bay was not called this name in the early years. It was accidentally discovered by pirates and built up one shipwreck after another. It took hundreds of years to transform it into an island. Later, the pirate guild named the place Shipwreck Bay, and it became a holy place in the hearts of all pirates.
All pirates who come here must abide by the Pirate Code. Private vendettas are strictly prohibited here. If you want to duel, you can go outside the Shipwreck Bay, and no one will care if you beat them to a bloody head.
Barbossa, Jack, and Sao Feng parked their ships and headed straight to the pirate guild hall, where the meeting was held.
In order to watch the excitement, Russell followed Sao Feng to the meeting site. He was also accompanied by Elizabeth and Turner. One of them had a grudge against Lord Beckett for killing his father, and the other wanted to rescue the slaves on the Flying Dutchman. My father is very concerned about the outcome of this meeting.
As soon as they entered the hall, they realized that they were late. The other pirate kings had already arrived.
Barbossa, a thick-skinned man, ignored the fire-breathing gazes of the pirates, cleared his throat and said, "As the convener of the meeting, I, Captain Hector Barbossa, declare the official opening of the Fourth Pirate Conference."
The meeting began, and all the pirate kings took their seats one by one. The sacred pirate meeting could not be desecrated. Although they were dissatisfied, they could only wait and mention it later.
"Captains, in order to prove your identity and authority, please produce ancient Spanish silver coins!"
It is said to be a Spanish silver coin, but in fact it is just a pile of scrap metal, such as the wooden eyeball of Barbossa, the pirate king of the Caspian Sea. The most valuable piece of 'ancient silver coin' comes from Xiaofeng. It is a piece of carefully carved jade, tied with a silk pendant from the ancient East. It stands out among a group of country bumpkins and has a very high profile.
These rags were forced by the times. Back then, Calypso did whatever he wanted on the sea, and the nine pirate kings were so poor that they couldn't even eat. They had no money to buy silver coins.
As for why the 'silver coins' in Sao Feng's hand are extremely valuable, it can only be said that the Chinese are good-looking people, so they have to tighten their belts and buy high-end tokens.
Time was running out, so Barbossa, as the host of the meeting, exchanged a few casual greetings and then started to get to the point of the meeting, telling how the East India Company was ambitious and posed a fatal threat to the pirates.
The East India Company plotted the sea and could not tolerate the pirates who were used to freedom. It pursued and intercepted them all over the world, chasing the pirates and scurrying around like rats crossing the street.
No matter in terms of money or human resources, the pirates combined could not compare to a toe of the East India Company. They had no way to go from heaven to earth, and they were either killed or sent to the gallows.
The sea is becoming more and more difficult to navigate, and more than half of the pirates have abandoned their ships and gone ashore to become bandits!
Since the birth of piracy, a profession full of money, it has never been so miserable. The limelight has become more and more intense, and the survival of this country is at risk.
The last sentence was not said by Barbossa, it was possible that it had been replaced by Sao Feng, but in order to save words, his words were translated into classical Chinese, which probably means this.
After listening to Barbossa's brief narration, the pirate kings fell silent. They all understood this, otherwise they would not come to the meeting.
The East India Company has eliminated most of the pirates, and now it's time to take action on these pirate kings. Now the nine pirate kings are gathered together. If they can't come up with a charter to break the situation, the pirate guild will completely decline, and the right and wrong on the sea will also be in the future. It has nothing to do with pirates anymore.
"Everyone, I know that many people still have a sense of luck, thinking that they can escape this disaster by hiding in Tibet." Barbossa looked around everyone and said in a cold tone: "But unfortunately, disaster is sweeping across, and you can escape once. But we can’t escape the second time, we can only fight against it.”
"But the East India Company has the British Royal Navy behind it, and we can't defeat them..."
Someone among the pirates whispered, this is the truth, no matter how powerful the pirates are, they cannot defeat a huge empire, especially if this empire also has the most powerful fleet on the sea.
"We can hide in Shipwreck Bay. This is an impregnable fortress and the East India Company cannot break in!"
"Then we will lose our freedom. Without freedom, are we still pirates?"
"Life and freedom, what's wrong with choosing life?"
Several pirate kings quarreled with each other, not only because of their different political opinions, but also purely for the sake of arguing.
That's right, they just don't like others!
"Captains, please listen to me."
Barbossa took off his shoes and banged them on the table. After everyone stopped arguing, he continued: "Captains, I summoned everyone here because I have come up with a solution to this dilemma."
When the pirates heard this, they all shut up and concentrated on hearing Barbossa's opinion. Now that the situation was corrupt, they were unable to stop it but were unwilling to die. They were pirate kings, and the East India Company would never let them go, and they would eventually end up dead. Therefore, despite their apparent indifference, they are actually more anxious than anyone else.
Barbossa raised a finger: "There is one person who can help us change this situation and restore the sea to the past era when pirates were at their peak."
"who?"
"King George II of Britain!?"
Feeling everyone's eyes focused on him, Barbossa smiled mysteriously: "Ocean goddess, Calypso!"
As soon as the words fell, the hall was silent for a short time and then suddenly exploded. They never expected that Barbossa would regard Calypso, the pirate's mortal enemy, as his savior.
"This is ridiculous!"
"Calypso was sealed by the first generation of pirate kings. Although that has little to do with us, she is a goddess after all. Goddesses are petty. I don't think she would mind venting her anger on us."
"Barbossa, you actually think of her. Don't you know how cruel she is?"
There are those who deny this proposal, and naturally there are those who agree with it. Of course, these people also respond with a pessimistic and negative attitude. Anyway, if you can't defeat the East India Company, you will die sooner or later. It is better to release Calypso and drag him to the East India Company for burial.
If the goddess is not as cruel as the rumors say, maybe they can get some rewards, such as gold coins that sink to the bottom of the sea, or treasures on uninhabited islands.
"Don't be stupid, you are daydreaming. Once Calypso is released, the first person she will kill will be us."
"This debt was made by the first generation of pirate kings and has nothing to do with us!"
"Calypso wouldn't think so. There's no reason for her to help me deal with the East India Company."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"You'll die if you try, you stupid pig!"
"You dare to call me a stupid pig, are you provoking me?"
"That's right!"
"..."
There was a quarrel in the hall, and it quickly turned from a verbal dispute into a full-scale martial arts fight. For a while, shoes and spit were flying everywhere...dancing, but not flying, at least not yet.
The chaotic hall was very much like a courtroom at the same time. The fighting was very fierce, with quarrels, curses, and fist fights. Even if you hid in a deserted place, you would be hit by a flying prop accidentally.
"Incredible, they are really crazy..." Elizabeth was stunned. Pirate is indeed a vulgar word, but this meeting, can you be more serious?
Barbossa took it for granted and replied: "Study hard, the political class has begun."
“Ha, politics is just fighting?”
"To be precise, this is called war. They are fighting for their own interests!"
The profound meaning in Barbossa's words was summed up by many years of life experience. Elizabeth was too young and it was difficult to understand just based on the 'Shabeth' in her name. She continued to watch in stunned silence.
The situation got out of hand, and Barbossa did not stop it. Instead of trying to stop the quarrel, it would be better to wait until they were tired of arguing and stop. Barbossa would make it easier for the meeting to proceed without any energy.
The pirate kings are all human beings. When they came to the meeting, they all knew that a pirate king would be elected this time. They were dissatisfied with each other and no one wanted to follow the orders of others. The reason for the quarrels and fights now was to show off their own strength and gain enough prestige. for voting later.
The first two pirate conferences failed to elect a pirate king. The situation was similar to now. They disliked each other and it was difficult to find someone who could convince everyone.
It's not necessarily true. Russell saw a pirate in the corner of the hall. He was wearing a gorgeous red captain's uniform, smoky makeup, and a braided beard. He looked exactly like Jack. He was playing a wooden guitar and looked like a rock and roll man. singer.
Jack's biological father, the retired Pirate King, is now the legendary pirate responsible for guarding the Pirate Code - Teague Sparrow!
In this sea, if there is really one person who can make Jack, who is jumping out of his mind, calm down, it can only be him.
Russell sensed the magical aura in him, and his intuition told him that this old pirate playing the guitar was more powerful than Davy Jones.
Russell secretly recalled that Teague made very few appearances in the original work. He was a very mysterious figure and had extremely high prestige among pirates.
Sure enough, the pirates quarreled endlessly, and one of them violated the pirate code and claimed that it was a joke. As a result, Teague shot him dead, and his pirate king captain didn't even fart.
"The Code is supreme!"
A group of pirate kings sat down quietly, all focused on Barbossa, waiting for him to continue the meeting.
Barbossa pursed his lips. Teague's appearance put him under great pressure. He once robbed Jack's ship for fear that I would seek revenge for his son.
"Now, let's start voting for the Pirate King according to the code. He will decide whether to liberate the sealed Calypso!"
The registered voting begins. Except for the ending, everything else is very formal, fair, just and open!
