Nassau, Bahamas.
Nassau is a prosperous city in the Bahamas, located on New Providence Island.
In 1670, King Charles II of England granted the Bahamas to six British nobles. They built a fortress and a city here. In memory of King Charles, the city was called Charles Town.
A few years later, the town was renamed Nassau to commemorate his royal highness William, Prince Nassau of orange, heir to the throne of England.
It used to be a kingdom of pirates. More than 70% of the city''s residents worked as pirates, privateers or ships. Spain and France once had to send fleets to sweep Nassau regularly to protect their merchant ships, but Nassau was never destroyed.
It was not until 1718 that Britain declared the Bahamas a British colony and appointed Roger wood, a powerful privateer, as the new governor.
Roger wood implemented the island policy of eliminating pirates with an iron hand. He not only drove all pirates out of Nassau, but also relied on his own private fleet to win the joint pirate fleet in the battle of the Bahamas in the near future.
The Pirates of the Bahamas and the Bahamas have been unable to recover for a long time, and the business of the Bahamas has been revitalized. As a result, Nassau has grown into a world-famous prosperous port.
However, gains are also privatized, and losses are also privatized.
Nassau flourished because of Roger wood, a powerful privateer, and declined with the rise of another powerful privateer half a century later.
That man is Lorraine Drake, the white flag pirate king.
In 1782, Lorraine captured Turtle Island in the first war of association. The maritime brotherhood fled to Nassau with the defeated pirates.
Six months later, Blackbeard, who had accumulated prestige in the second war of association, settled in ilyusera as a royal guard, and all the pirates gathered like Haina.
The bustling Nassau changed its master overnight.
As a protector, the brotherhood on the sea came out of the shadow, occupied the wharf and enshrined the code.
The governor''s office of the Bahamas had nothing to do with powerful pirates, and the Royal Navy in the Caribbean had to sit back and watch it develop due to the political environment at that time.
The Bahamas thus became the kingdom of Pirates again. The pirates proudly declared that the British were in charge of the day and the Brotherhood was in charge of the night.
However, apart from whether Britain is willing to share power with pirates, will these carnivorous beasts really govern the place?
The answer is No.
The economy of Nassau and even the whole Bahamas has plummeted. Lorraine heard that the people of the Bahamas have petitioned the elderly Roger wood to regain control of the governor''s office. Seeing that they place their hopes on an old man who is at least 80 years old, it shows how unpopular the pirates and the current governor''s office are.
On July 3, the slender posture of the valkiri appeared on the sea surface of Nassau. The bright pansy rose flag fluttered on the top of the towering main mast, reflecting the sunshine, and attacked the paradise like beautiful bay of New Providence like a tsunami.
Acharin stood in the fourth observation platform, 15 meters high with the main mast, surrounded by bell in the same position, watching another reckless pirate ship together.
"Which ship is this?" acharin asked.
"If it''s from entering the Bahamas, it''s the 17th," bell replied.
"17 ships in half a day. There are too many pirates in this sea..."
"Because Nassau has a brotherhood." bell spread his hand. "If there is a brotherhood, there is black port. Although taxes are not cheap, they at least have dignity."
"Dignity?" acharin pointed to the ship that ran far, because it didn''t run far enough. Even the naked eye could see that the lookout was hastily picking up the flag.
Bell''s white eyes almost turned to the sky.
"White flag pirate king... It seems that many people remember that our solemn title is pirate Hunter..."
……
Time goes back 11 days ago, Boston, America.
And SIG''s game has received unimaginable returns. Just like the chicken in the novice village burst out legendary equipment, the first feeling is definitely not luck, but a card bug.
The two messages sent by Seager are accurate, clear and valuable.
The news of pirates is related to everyone''s safety. We must find out the causes and consequences before Lorraine can rest assured.
The news of the invitation was related to the Commission of the Admiralty. After all, Lorraine''s right to privatize originated from Britain. It was not so much a commission as an obligation attached to privilege.
Safety and obligation are of equal importance, but there is not enough time left for Lorraine to deal with them one by one. Naturally, the team is divided into two and goes to their respective battlefields according to their respective strengths.
The leaders of the two battlefields have no doubt.
Lorraine is the main pirate problem. The peers bell, acharin, LEV, Kao, Katrina, favna and Daniel are generally on the combat side and can cope with most battles. Even relatively weak social communication is enough in the pirate world.
They also have two fellow travelers, Harry, who has been relied on by Seager for many years, and rice, who used to work in Lundi coffee, are experts in digging intelligence.
For the invitation letter, Carmen is in charge, along with Haina, Noah, Sharon and Wang, as well as Karen who is particularly concerned about Miss Solomon''s future.
Carmen and Karen are celebrities and leaders in the whole new world. Noah has his special social means.
Wang and Haina have made up for the lack of combat power around Carmen. On the one hand, they can protect their safety. On the other hand, Carmen can decide whether to do anything when necessary.
Their companions were Seager and Ryan.
Ryan, as famous as Harry, is the most versatile player in the old eighth company. He is proficient in close combat and long-range, especially good at sneaking in and torture.
SIG himself has the task of entering the auction with Lorraine. This trip is not so much assistance as benevolence
On June 24, the invitation group boarded the carriage to Hartford. In the afternoon of the same day, Lorraine gathered the whole group at Haite shipyard and officially announced that valkiri set sail for Nassau.
It''s hard to say how much thought was involved in this order. As Lorraine, no matter how carefully prepared he was, he couldn''t guarantee his safety in Nassau.
But now that there is not enough time and the goal is missing, asking the source for an answer is at least the most direct and does not test patience.
"There is no news to tell us the location of our old friends, nor any news to tell us their purpose..."
In the meeting room of Haite shipyard, Lorraine said to his team.
"Boston is big. If you want to hide it, it will be as big as the Caribbean or even bigger."
"We really don''t have a good reason to go to Nassau, but one month''s time is not enough. We squander like headless flies, so we have to take a risk, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and try to surprise, cheat and bump what we need."
"There may be battles, risks and deaths, but hidden reefs are always more threatening than dense atolls. We are sailors. How to choose is clear at a glance."
"Now the plan is voted. It''s plana to stay in Boston and PlanB to go to Nassau. The minority obeys the majority. My choice is B."
Then he shut his mouth and eyes.
"It''s not the first time to go crazy with the captain..." acharin said.
"After all, Drake''s blood is the blood of outlaws..." Bell said.
"I want to know the reason bonette came to Boston..." said lev.
"I think more charts will help unlock the secret of the fountain of youth..." Daniel said.
"I choose B." Cao moved his neck.
"B." Katrina and favna looked at each other.
"Sorry, we don''t seem to be sailors and won''t be the target of the pirate king." Harry raised his hand with a poker face. "But the stupid Lieutenant Colonel doesn''t allow us to act alone. So there''s no safer option?"
"No," Lorraine grinned.
"Sure enough..." Harry sighed and grabbed Rice''s hand. "Major Harry Sheffield of the royal secret service, who belongs to lieutenant rice Wright, will participate."
"That''s all the votes passed..." Lorraine stretched himself lazily and stood up. "Order! Valkiri to cancel his vacation and return the crew to their posts for navigation."
"Valkiri will leave in three hours. Now, disband!"
"Yes, Captain!"
