0129 Edward with two knives
A figure reflected in the mirror.
Tall, strong.
He wore a brown leather windbreaker and a wide leather hood, with golden hair scattered under the hood, and a short and dense beard on his young face, adding a lot of vicissitudes to this face.
But this vicissitudes are not abrupt, because the leather jacket on his body is not brand new, 70% new and three parts old. He is crossed with three new orange-red belts, two shoulders and one waist.
Three short knives were inserted diagonally on the belt on the shoulder, and a holster was hung on the belt on the other side. Inside the holster was Lorraine's ivory short gun that had almost never been used.
There are two thick-backed Arabian scimitars hanging on their waists, one on the left and right, and the handle is less than one meter long, which is nearly half lighter than the Finnish double swords that Lorraine used to, but it is not difficult to get familiar with it with a perfect center of gravity.
This is Lorraine's new image.
He tilted his head and admired for a long time, took off his hood, revealing his golden fluffy shoulder-length hair.
"Sir, are you satisfied with your new look?" Carmen asked with a smile behind him.
Lorraine was indescribably weird, scratched her blonde hair, found a lock, and gently took it off, revealing her black hair covered with a net bag below.
"Is this the secret of ladies' wigs?"
"It's your secret now."
Henna broke Lorraine over, pursed her lips, and pulled the beard on his face hard.
The bonding of fish glue is very strong, and according to previous experiments, it can be easily peeled off by just dipping some apple cider vinegar without damaging the skin.
She touched Lorraine's face and asked, "Is the face it itchy?"
"It's like a little mud, it's not itchy, it's just a burden."
"That's that there's no impact." Henna nodded and looked into Lorraine's eyes, "Carmen, where's that eye mask?"
Carmen hesitated: "The captain often has to fight with people, isn't he wearing an eye mask..."
"It must destroy the overall feeling of facial features." Henna reached out to block Lorraine's mouth, "Look, people who are familiar with Lorraine can recognize it at a glance."
"It's really..." Carmen muttered, turned around and ran into the room. After a while, he brought three or four eye masks, including simple black single eyelid masks, gorgeous golden decal masks, red skeleton-printed trendy brands, and even double eye masks like the Mutant Ninja Turtle. "Which one is better?"
"Just like those ordinary blind captains, Lorraine doesn't need to be noticeable now."
Lorraine slapped Henna's hand, and she couldn't take the simplest single eye mask and tied the leather rope to cover her left eye.
"Where are so many blind captains in this world? Most of the captains of pirate ships serve as pilots. They cover their left eye not because of injuries, but to maintain their vision so that they can use the compass and sextant more accurately."
Henna carefully covered Lorraine's blonde hair, looked left and right, and finally showed a satisfied look: "Then why don't you wear an eye mask?"
"Because I'm not picky about food." Lorraine sighed, "Is it really necessary?"
"The captain and the ship are the symbols of a pirate regiment, and if you are recognized, it doesn't make sense for us to give up the Golden Deer."
"But when it's time to fight, our boats are very recognizable, like you, Noah, and the King of the Eastern Constellation and the little Pierce..."
"Not many people know us, and most of them are not in the New World, you are different."
Seeing Henna insisted, Lorraine could only let it go.
Carmen threw the remaining eye mask casually and stuck Henna's shoulder out of her head: "Captain, do you need me to name you?"
"Even the name needs to be changed..." Lorraine re-covered her hood, looked at the mirror, and slowly pulled out her two swords, "Is this the arrangement of fate?"
"What?"
"Edward Kenway." A bad thing surged in Lorraine's heart, "My name is Edward Kenway, the captain of the Jackdaw, and the new leader of the Rose Pirates."
Carmen whispered softly like a trick-and-treat little demon: "Why did you choose to be a pirate? Because of money?"
"It's not a matter of whether or not you need money. I want to eat clean food, I want a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, I want to live a decent life..."
"You may be a natural liar...perfect."
The three of them were busy cosplaying, and Pierce suddenly pushed the door and came in: "Brother, it's time to have lunch... Huh? Sister Henna, where is brother? And this strange gentleman..."
"My name is Edward, Pierce, little." Lorraine turned around and took off her hood with a smile. "Edward Kenway, the man destined to be a pirate king."
Little Pierce grew up and said, "Edward...Captain Kenway?"
...
With all this ready, Lorraine and the other four stayed peacefully in the manor for another three days.
By night on the fourth day, without any explanation to the servants, they left the villa in a swagger and carried a small suitcase full of disguised materials to the private pier on the north coast.
This is the only facility in the entire manor where Lorraine has identified the administrator. It was handed over to three loyal and somewhat older sailors for care about ten days ago, and transferred the original Indian servant to another position.
The sailors lived in a cottage next to the dock. When they saw Lorraine coming, someone walked out of the cottage and took the wind light to the end of the dock.
After a while, a slender, ghostly Sloop fishing boat slid into the berth.
Seeing the wind lights on the boat shaking rhythmically, the dock sailor ran to Lorraine: "Captain, our ship is here."
Lorraine stood there expressionlessly: "If anyone asks where we went..."
"The captain and the seafarers went to the Gulf of Mexico to explore, hoping to find the ruins and wealth of the Maya."
"No need to be so detailed." Lorraine patted the sailor on the shoulder, "I don't need to explain my whereabouts to anyone."
"Yes! Only those who are asking the bottom line will we sell the information to them in moderation."
“That’s right.”
The four of them boarded the boat and rode the Caribbean sea breeze all the way to the vicinity of Little Cayman Island. On the edge of a lonely island reef, they found the Jackdaw covered in moonlight.
She was quietly anchored by the island reef, with pirate flags flying on the slender mainmast, two long and short swords under the white skeleton, roses in her mouth, and petals withered.
The sailboat knocked on the door of the cabin and whispered: "Captain, Jackdaw."
"Send a signal, get up."
Lorraine, who had been disguised, walked out of the cabin, followed by Henna, Carmen and Pierce, all raising their heads and admiring the graceful silhouettes of the Jackdaw.
Sloop's ship slowly approached her, and Lorraine saw the unique dark light of the wind light on the bow, three short and two long, then two short and two long, which was exactly the opposite of the signal sent by Sloop.
This is the light signal set by Lorraine.
The two ships were connected to each other, and the Jackdaw put down the rope ladder. Kron stepped off the boat on the rope ladder. He looked at Lorraine's new outfit and was stunned for a long time before he realized.
"Captain, you are..."
"Don't care about Henna and Carmen's kindness. How is the situation of Jackdaw?"
"Yesterday, Ms. Dibo temporarily recruited a group of free sailors, using commercial contracts."
"Business Contract?"
"Yes, commercial contracts, Ms. Dibo believes that commercial contracts help maintain the absolute authority of the captain, unlike pirate agreements, and also give sailors the right to elect the captain and the helmsman."
“Then our business scope is…”
"Smuggling and robbery." Kron spread his hands, "I really can't understand these pioneers. Ms. Dibo just allowed everyone to carry five kilograms of private goods. They screamed and signed up on the ship, rushing to the top, even the life and death certificate was willing to sign."
"This is the Caribbean Sea, my friend." Lorraine sneered, "In their eyes, pirates are no different from the black merchants in Europe and the West, but they are just a means to stand out."
The seamen followed Cron on the Jackdaw, and Lorraine fell to the end, calling Sloop's captain to his side.
"Tell Dad Leonard, don't rush to deal with the Sloop boat, just use it as his private fishing boat. When I want to find you, I will ask someone to inform Dad in advance."
"Yes, Captain."
"Just let's separate here. The Caribbean Sea is windy and waves. Don't stay on the sea for too long at night."
