0248 Pirate Mind

Cotton Jack in history is a legendary superstar who was once active in the Golden Age of Pirates.

Romantic, affectionate, greedy, hypocritical, and cowardly.

He should have certain sailing skills. He started out as a seaman and served as a military officer on a pirate ship called Treasure, which was actually responsible for managing the cargo hold.

He cleverly used his identity. Although he could not enter the power triangle of captain-helms-pilot, he still recruited a group of loyal supporters for himself.

In one chance, he mutinized on the ship, exiled the former captain, replaced it, occupied the magpie's nest, and thus became the pirate captain.

He is a strange pirate.

Looking at his pirate career, he did not leave any representative wars or achievements during his short period of active period. The most talked about is that he advocated and promoted the pirate flag, and the love and hatred with the two beauties, Anne, Ponney and Mary Reed.

What he experienced and pursued did not seem to be like the profit-oriented barbarians in traditional thinking, but rather like a little noble who tried his best to delve into the social circle and racked his brains to settle down.

According to Katerina, the creativity of the Pirate Flag brought great reputation to Cotton Jack.

Although his record and strength were not enough to make him on the list of candidates for the Pirate King, a ready-made Pirate King defected to him and presented his token, willing to serve as a supplement.

This incident shocked the entire pirate world at that time.

According to the Pirate Code, Cotton Jack's situation was finally judged as "relying on his own strength to complete the collection of the token of the king". The Brotherhood of the Sea gave him a three-month attack period, and pirates who hoped to rebel in the entire Caribbean were flocking.

Melee, chaos, fierce battle...

At the end of March, the former pirate king who defected to him, died bravely, while Cotton Jack made both his beauties pregnant.

The new pirate king throne was born, and with this throne, the legend of an era... I must have thought too much.

The real ending of this incident was: the overly high-profile cotton Jack successfully attracted the attention of the Royal Navy. With the support of Woods Rogers, then the governor of Jamaica, the pirate hunting team easily blocked him on the waterway.

Cotton Jack hid in the cargo hold during the battle, leaving two pregnant pirate princesses to fight against the sailors on the deck. Finally, the three of them were locked in prison.

Cotton Jack was quickly sentenced to hang. After the body was dried for a few months, Cotton Jack II, who was more in line with the Pirate King's standards, defeated his competitors and successfully took office. Until today, this title has been passed down to the seventh generation.

The Jackdaws leadership group, which plays the sparrow, is still gathering on the sail truss, observing the pirate formation in the distance, while listening to Lorraine and Caterina take turns talking about the secrets of the pirate world in a relaxed tone.

After saying that, Bell looked at Lorraine in confusion.

"Captain Dibo is the famous stigma, known as the red-haired Katerina of the Caribbean Red Rose, right?"

"yes."

"I've seen the intelligence, just before we arrived in the New World, she was elected as a candidate for Pirate King Mansfield III by the Sea Brotherhood, right?"

"yes."

"Since he is an insider, it is natural for Captain Dibo to know so many secrets. But you..."

Lorraine scratched her head embarrassedly: "Although it sounds a bit unemployed, from the perspective of the code, I am actually a non-candidate competitor to the Seventh Pirate King. And as long as I get the third token scattered outside, a new honorable title will be born."

"Oh...well?!"

...

Harmony wind, taming waves.

On the edge of Jackdaw's vision, the flagship formation of Pirate King Cotton Jack VII was floating and rising, and advanced towards the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay without any haste.

This made everyone on the Jackdaw find it a bit difficult to understand.

The Bloody Mary is an old-style Galen of the same type as the Golden Deer. From the design era, it is in the period when the French Navy rises strongly and launches an impact on British maritime power.

The ship shape change of that era was led by the French. The fifth-class ship fought against the fourth-class ship, and the third-class ship beat the second-class ship. Although it failed to truly replace Britain as the maritime overlord, as a ship, that type of Galen destroyer is undoubtedly a classic among the classics.

But the classic destroyer is still a destroyer. The firepower of up to 18 pounds does not have the strength to challenge the new third-class ships. What's more, the blockade formation is also a three-ship integrated, and it forms an absolute strength crush on the pirate formation in all aspects.

Does Cotton Jack VII know the truth about the Baykou blockade?

Lorraine thinks it is impossible. Zerojiu Literature Network

Pirate formations emerged from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, and without knowing the exact nature of the East Coast of North America, they had no meaning to do this.

So, is Cotton Jack VII confident of breaking through Shaq's blockade from the front?

If this is true, Lorraine can only say that the Sea Brotherhood can start selecting candidates for the VIII from now on.

Can't figure it out...

Lorraine smashed her mouth and looked at Katerina: "Do you have any clues?"

"I heard that Cotton VII was originally a Virginia estate owner who was forced into the sea because of persecution by the local governor. If this rumor is true, he should be a supporter of the War of Independence. If an old Virginia friend asked him for it, it would be understandable to take risks to support the war."

"But he is preparing to break through the blockade of a third-class ship from the front."

"Pirates are often confident about their speed, not to mention that Virginia's receiving port is in Norfflk, unlike Baltimore, which is very close to the entrance of the bay."

It must be admitted that only by truly being a pirate can we understand the strange gambler thinking of pirates.

Do you just think you dare to bet on your life quickly enough?

Lorraine wanted to laugh a little.

He spread his hands indifferently: "Okay, Mr. Pirate King thinks he can outperform the blockade formation. What about you? When will you send it off?"

"I want to follow in."

Lorraine raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Broad in the day?"

Katerina Zheng's key point.

"Just like Cotton VII thinks he will definitely be able to escape, and I firmly believe that he will be blocked by the blockade formation at the entrance of the bay. This is our opportunity. As long as it is operated properly, we can get back half a day for this trip."

After saying that, she looked at Lorraine and waited for Lorraine's final decision.

Lorraine looked back strangely.

"This time you are the captain. What do you think of me for the life of the entire ship?"

...

The whistle was blowing and the sailors ran hard on the deck. Bell took the handwheel again, and Henna and Pierce climbed to lookout one after another.

The adventurous surprise decision was carried out in a hasty and not hasty way of doing it, which was very similar to Katerina's character, impulsive and full of courage.

Lorraine was not prepared to interfere with her decision. Even though this decision was still a bit risky in Lorraine, at least it was far less stable than Yehang.

But it's risky...

People walking on the sea are taking risks every moment. This smuggling itself is a huge bet. Compared to it, strong progress under the cover of the pirate formation is not even considered a risk. It is just a simple and daily adventure.

Since it is daily, why bother with it?

Walking on the boat, watching the crew's selfless and skillful work from a bystander, Lorraine couldn't help but breathe in admiration.

"Since it's a first-level alert, the divination room should no longer be used. Otherwise, go and have a fortune?"

Before he could make a decision, Henna's cry came down.

"The distance is 24 kilometers, the course is southwest, with a relative speed of 4.5 knots, and the formation ahead cuts the wind!"

"Do you go to Henry's Corner honestly? I thought there would be a bolder choice..." Lorraine and Katerina said at the same time, separated by two places.

Leaving this sentence, Lorraine lazily pushed open the door of the divination room.

Katerina stood upright on the upper deck of the bow of the ship and pulled out her sword with a clang.

"Rise the sails, hang the sails, and bow sails. Since they are heading south, our goal... to the north, and rush to Cape Charles."

"Craves, set off!"
