Reborn As a Pirate

v1 Chapter 131: Legacy of the Pirate Emperor

   The pirate empire of the Caribbean...

In front of Lorraine, two small wooden frames framed by glass and nanmu were placed side by side. The wooden frames were filled with fine flannel and transparent film as thin as cicada wings. -Type chart fragments.

   Henna sat beside Lorraine.

  As the first companion since going to sea, she always has a special trust in Lorraine's heart, and she has nothing to say to her, and both of them take it for granted.

   Katerina was standing opposite Lorraine, and the earth-shattering secrets of the pirate empire flowed out of her beautiful mouth, constantly scouring Lorraine's traditional cognition of the word history.

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

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

   This is a war of conferring the gods.

   Through this battle, his previous glorious record can be sublimated, even if he is among the Pirates of the Caribbean born for freedom, he has become the well-deserved sole leader.

  He unified the pirates of the Caribbean.

   After having 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 the time.

   They fought for two days in a one-on-one naval battle. In the end, David Nou was smashed to the mainmast and lost the crown in his hand.

   The crowned Captain Morgan tried to modify and perfect the code that has been circulating in the pirate world for hundreds of years, and compiled it into a book, which is the "Piracy Code."

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

  He established an empire based on the Brotherhood of Pirates. During the enthronement ceremony, he sealed seven pirate kings, each of whom was a famous pirate at the time.

   He also referred to the old senate system of the Roman Empire and declared that the emperor is supreme and the classes under the emperor are equal.

  The Brotherhood of the Sea is the Senate of the Pirate Empire, in charge of the "Piracy Code" and has the right to interpret, arbitrate, and amend the code.

   The seven pirate kings sealed the border, and they had absolute power to command in their own seas.

   He also stipulated that every pirate should be treated fairly, 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 became the deputy governor of Jamaica.

   He became a businessman of a wealthy country, an official in charge of a party, an invincible sergeant, and a respected plantation owner. At the same time, he was still the emperor of pirates.

   Port Loire became the imperial capital of the pirate empire, while Turtle Island was the residence of the accompanying capital and the Brotherhood. This order remained unchanged during his lifetime and continued for 14 years.

   In 1788, Morgan died of illness.

Before dying, he unexpectedly did not pass on his throne to his heirs, but fairly divided his huge wealth into two, leaving only fixed assets to future generations, and concealing 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 kind of selfless behavior prevented the collapse of the pirate empire, and also allowed Morgan to have supreme authority until the moment of his death.

   He called the Brotherhood of the Sea to revise the empire's inheritance system. In this system, it is these uncommon charts in front of them that are regarded as tokens.

   Lorraine gently stroked the glass surface of the chart, if he realized: "These charts are the charts of the treasure land?"

   "Yes, they point to the treasures of the pirate emperor. They represent the inexhaustible wealth and the supreme authority of the Caribbean."

"Then why cut it up? Or who would cut it up boringly..." Speaking of this, Lorraine? Opened his eyes wide. "Seven pirate kings, scattered charts, is it the way to inherit... Seven Wang Duogui?"

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

   Catalina took a deep breath, with a little fear and hatred, began to explain the law of succession of the pirate empire.

   With the treasure land as the midpoint, the treasure map is subdivided into a core and 21 surrounding areas.

   The core piece was preserved by Morgan's descendants. They vowed not to participate in future throne battles for generations, while the remaining 21 pieces were broken up and sorted, three pieces for each person, and they were saved by seven pirate kings.

  Only the pirate king who has obtained all 21 nautical charts can request the last nautical chart from the Morgan family.

   Only those who find the treasure can become the new emperor.

   These are the two basic rules for the succession of the pirate empire.

  There are still some details remaining.

   For example, the recovery of nautical charts.

   After the death of the Pirate King, his chart will be taken back. The Brotherhood at Sea needs to pay heavily to those who pay the map and elect the three most prestigious pirates to inherit separately.

   These three people have become candidates for the Pirate King since they accepted the chart, and they have entered the second-level competition, competing for three in one.

   There is also the title of the Pirate King.

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

   The pirates of the Caribbean are very secretive about the surnames given by their families. Under normal circumstances, they will only disclose their surnames when they are married, executed, or when they wash their hands.

   is like Catalina, her honorary name is "Red-haired Catalina", until she joined the Chamber of Commerce in Lorraine and gave up her status as a pirate, she officially restored the surname of Dibo.

   But not every pirate king can use his own title.

The Piracy Code stipulates that the pirates who accept the results of the Brotherhood election will be protected by the Code. Before they formally become the One Piece King, other One Piece Kings cannot take action against them, and as a price, they cannot use their own titles after becoming a queen, but can only inherit the last one. The title of One Piece is called World X.

  Only people outside of the election results can replace the previous king's title with their own title, but at the same time, they cannot enjoy the protection of the law.

   The Brotherhood will do its best to make his identity public. Everyone who has a desire for charts can attack him until he becomes the emperor or is taken away by others.

   This is most of the content of inheritance in the code.

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

"Most of them were inherited from the golden age, namely Cotton Jack VII, the flagship Bloody Mary; Blackbeard Edward V, the flagship Queen Anne's Revenge; and the black quasi-baron Pavlomy IV, the flagship Royal Happiness. ;Hound the Hound, the flagship Fantasy; the pirate Prince Bellamy III, the flagship Vinda; Thomas the Fly, the flagship Shengshi, a total of six."

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

   "I once belonged to the imprinted Mansfield II. Whether it is me or the black mamba, once I have collected three charts, they will all be revered as Mansfield III."

   Lorraine couldn't help being silent.

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

   "No, it is an honor for the pirates to inherit the name of the ship while inheriting the honour. Some people regard it as a curse. If they do not do this, the wraith spirits entwined on the honour will drag them to the bottom of the sea."

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

"No more~lightnovelpub.net~ Catalina whispered, "The pirate closest to the throne in history was the first Pavloumu. He seized 18 charts, controlled the Brotherhood of the Sea, and revised the code. , But until his death, he could not find the whereabouts of the last three charts. 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 he received three thousand pounds. Huge reward. "

   "Really... he could not find the whereabouts of the last three charts..." Lorraine muttered to himself, suddenly asked, "Katerina, what do you think I should do with these two charts?"

   "Turn in the Brotherhood anonymously." Catalina didn't even think about it. "With them, you are the enemy of the pirates of the entire Caribbean. This is not wise."

   "But how do they know that I have a chart?"

   "The Brotherhood has a huge intelligence network. They can easily find out that I had boarded the Golden Deer, and the Golden Deer also sank the Black Mamba. Now I am your first mate, just a little extrapolation..."

   "Yes, they will eventually notice that an outsider has the chart." Lorraine smiled, "Lorraine and Edward are both suspicious, but they probably didn't expect that Lorraine and Edward are the same person."

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

"you……"

"Katrina, you have miscalculated one thing. We are businessmen. Since we will come to the Caribbean Sea across the ocean, we are ready to be the enemy of pirates. The question before me is not whether we want it or not. , But value is not value."

   "Then do you think... worth it?"

   Lorraine avoided talking about Catalina’s question, but laughed cheerfully: "Let the pirates come to me. I participated in this fight for the pirate king."
