"The first contact of the Brotherhood was about three months ago..."

The old voice turned on the memory mode.

Three months ago, between March and April 1786, the White Seminole war on the Florida Peninsula was coming to an end. Lorraine, who thought he had missed the opportunity, received a call from the United States.

At that time, Pavloumi and his Royal Happiness arrived in Nassau.

Lorraine could feel the weight behind this ordinary statement.

The pirate empire flourished in Henry Morgan, who established a special order that was different from the secular and suited the value of pirates.

In this order, he is the highest level of the food chain, underneath there are seven pirate kings, and underneath are the competitive big pirates and the uncompetitive little pirates.

The Maritime Brotherhood is a special case. They were born out of the third-tier big pirates, with qualifications and background, and took the initiative to withdraw from the food chain, accept the support of all pirates, and become the defenders and bystanders of order.

In fairness, the stability of this order far exceeds Henry Morgan's own ability, even after his death, it still ran smoothly for nearly a hundred years.

The stable pattern of Qixiong's struggle for hegemony did not officially begin to disintegrate and loosen until the emergence of Lorraine.

After the war of association, Blackbeard Edward relied on his prestige, the black baron Pavlovomiu relied on his wits, and Lorraine relied on his financial resources to stand out from the crowd. In terms of strength, they were far behind the other three pirate kings and forced the original second floor. Split into two layers.

The upper class continued to split after that, the battle of Basseterre, the defeat of Blackbeard, Pavloumu retreated, and Lorraine became the only strong man since then. Even if he has not reached the deterrent power of Henry Morgan, he is uncrowned. The emperor of the first generation of black baron is already not worried.

This is the ecology of today's pirate empire. White Lorraine is alone at the top of the food chain. Blackbeard Edward and Black Baron Pavloum continue to maintain a gap with the third group.

Cotton Jack, Henry the Hound, and Bellamy the Black Prince's advantages over the big pirates are constantly shrinking, such as the Viking Bonnet, the veteran big pirate skillful Derrick, who reached its peak before the defeat, represented by the nutria Gini. The emerging forces smashed into a group, and launched an impact on the highnesses who were once unable to face up on the fourth floor.

In a super-double-strength situation, there is a fierce collision of heroes contending for hegemony and gathering and disengaging.

Of course, only Blackbeard was affected by Pavlo's behavior.

Because of the special relationship between Lorraine and the pirates, the current pirate empire has only a clear north-south confrontation at the highest level.

To the south is Pavlo Miu, based on the first-tier archipelago of Paraguay, and its activities encompass the entire Spanish region of South America and the western coast of Central and North America.

To the north is Blackbeard, centered on Eleuthera, according to the traditional Caribbean and mid-latitude transoceanic routes of the pirate empire.

The beasts of the same level tend to abide by the principle of mutual avoidance, and even if it is a matter of life and death, they will not easily set foot on the core of other people's power, and Nassau happens to be at the core of the blackbeard power.

In other words, it’s more unreasonable for Pavloumu to visit Nassau without being invited than Lorraine’s raid, especially the brotherhood’s old man, who was the most combative team in Blackbeard at the time. And Blackbeard himself rested in the harbor of Eleuthera.

So the second doubt arose, as if it had been agreed in advance, Blackbeard remained silent during the unexpected event that was enough to set off the pirate king war, and the whole process was disconnected.

Lorraine couldn't help covering his chin: "It's like an appointment...that is to say, the Brotherhood only knows that they have a tacit agreement, but they don't know whether they communicated in advance?"

"The interviews between the pirate kings cannot be hidden from the Brotherhood." The old man said, "because they will definitely sit on their flagships to the meeting, and they will never walk into other people's nests. In the world of pirates, the meeting is simply regarded as a negotiation. The guy probably died long ago."

Lorraine agreed with this sentence: "But communication does not necessarily have to be done in person, right?"

"Then why does your Highness come to Nassau in person?"

In order to confirm...

Lorraine suddenly became silent.

Meeting, discussing, communicating, and similar social behaviors do not have the rigid need for leaders to perform personally, but not everyone can replace them. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the authority, ability and trust relationship, the more important the occasion, the more so.

Lorraine took the risk to go to the island because there was no suitable substitute on the ship, as did Pavloumu.

unless……

"Someone can completely replace him and persuade Blackbeard to remain silent."

The old man froze for a moment, and then he laughed wildly.

"Does your Highness think that the pirate groups in this world are as talented as your chamber of commerce?"

This is obviously impossible.

The social circle accumulates prestige in a civilized way, and does not affect equity, wealth, and a series of keys that determine the belonging of the chamber of commerce. Therefore, such as Carmen, Chuck, Ramos, Eddie, and Karen can control the social energy that is no less than Lorraine. , While being an employee of the Drake Chamber of Commerce with peace of mind.

Pirates accumulate prestige in a barbarous manner. Once Pavloumi's pirate group has a person who can stand up against the captain, the result is either a change of dynasty or another establishment.

Therefore, the person Lorraine assumed could not exist. Pavloumi went deep into Nassau. The most reasonable explanation is that the tacit understanding between him and Blackbeard has transcended language.

The answer is ridiculous, even if it is ridiculous, Lorraine must accept it.

Lorraine rubbed his eyebrows irritably: "What then? Pavlovomiu issued a summoning order in Nassau? Let the two His Royal Highnesses abandon the prejudice and love each other. Is this summoning order actually a black voucher against me?"

A wry smile appeared on the old man's face.

"His Royal Highness came to Nassau, donated five thousand pounds to the Brotherhood, and then asked us to issue a call to all the pirate kings and great pirates, including you."

"Including me?"

This is really really interesting.

With the special existence of the Sea Brotherhood, even if other pirates don't approve of it, they will be somewhat scrupulous about their face, and even if they refuse, they have to find a reasonable reason to refuse.

Only Lorraine, even if the summoning order is really sent to Miami, Lorraine will not pay attention to it. Pavlovomiu will definitely be able to guess the result, which means that he only wants Lorraine to know the content of the call, and the content is certain. Will not harm Lorraine's interests.

"What about the content?" Lorraine was interested, "What is the content of the call?"

"I just said, I don't know." The pain on the old man's face was more intense, "We refused the call and gave up money for this. The Highness did not force it, and left Nassau that afternoon."

"One and a half months later, His Royal Highness Cotton Jack issued a summoning order, narrowing the scope to the three His Highnesses including him and the only Viking candidate Bonit, the pirate king now. As you know, only Bellamy refused the summoning. ."

"We don't know the content of the call, or the location of the call. We only know that after refusing to call, Bellamy's pirate group rebelled. Four ships loyal to him sank in the Gulf of Mexico, and he and Vader were missing. "

The old man's voice fluctuated, and Lorraine suddenly remembered the special relationship between the aging code guardian and the black prince Bellamy.

He was once Bellamy's old captain. After he abandoned the ship and went ashore and Bellamy inherited the title of Pirate King, the two sides still maintained a good relationship. From the limited contacts, Bellamy should treat him with great respect.

Lorraine frowned: "Have you looked for Bellamy?"

"Through the old men on the ship, I left him a message with the secret signal at that time. Henry the Hound issued a black ticket and put a 1,000 pounds on his head as a reward."

"The only way for him to survive now is to go ashore and swear to become the guardian of the code. Only then will the black coupon lose its effect, and he doesn't need to worry about living in the chase..."

Lorraine looked at the old man from a different place: "A very good suggestion, did he refuse it?"

"I don't know if he can receive the news." The old man sighed, "There is no beacon in the vast sea. Sex is minimal, even if he receives ~lightnovelpub.net~, he won’t necessarily listen to me, just like back then..."

"then?"

"Leonardo, the third generation of Black Prince Bellamy, he is not only my crew, but also my grandson."

The plot of the dog's blood suddenly unfolded in front of Lorraine, and many of the unreasonable aspects of today's talk were solved at once.

Lorraine laughed: "No wonder... you want me to find him and rescue him?"

The old man didn't comment on Lorraine's guess, he said softly.

"Cotton Jack has a private enmity with you. The old summoning order may have nothing to do with you, but since you are here, it means that the new summoning order may have added content about you."

"Cotton Jack, Henry the Hound, Bonnet the Viking, Bellamy the Black Prince, my grandson is the only person in the world who knows the content of the summoning order and is willing to tell you at the same time."

"I don't ask for anything, I just want him to live in peace. It's fair."

Lorraine pondered for a moment: "Yes, this is really fair."
