0577 This is fair
“The first contact call for 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 over, and Lorraine, who thought she had missed the opportunity, received a call from the United States.
It was at that time that Pavlomu and his Royal Happy Crown arrived in Nassau.
Lorraine could feel the weight behind this ordinary statement.
The pirate empire flourished with Henry Morgan, who established a special order that was different from the secular world and was in line with the values of pirates.
In this order, he is the highest level of the food chain, with seven pirate kings below, and the competitive big pirates and the uncompetitive little pirates.
The Marine Brotherhood is an exception. They were born from the third level of pirates, with qualifications, backgrounds, and actively withdraw from the food chain, accept the offerings of all pirates, and become the defenders and bystanders of order.
By heart, the stability of this order far exceeds that of Henry Morgan's own ability, even after his death, has been operating smoothly for nearly a hundred years.
The stable pattern of the seven heroes fighting for hegemony did not officially begin to collapse and loosen until Lorraine appeared.
After the association war, the black beard Edward, the black baron Pavlomue, and the black baron, and Lorraine stood out with their financial resources. They fared away from the other three pirate kings in terms of strength, and forcibly split the original second layer into two upper and lower layers.
The upper class continued to split after that, with the Battle of Bastel, the Blackbeard was completely defeated, Pavlomu retreated, and Lorraine became the only strong man since then. Even though he had not reached the deterrent power of Henry Morgan, compared with the uncrowned emperor, the first generation of Black Baron was already much more frustrated.
This is the ecology of today's pirate empire. White-Black Lorraine ranks top in the food chain, and Blackbeard Edward and Black Baron Pavlomu continued to maintain a gap with the third group.
Cotton Jack, Hound Henry and Black Prince Bellamy's advantage over the pirates has been shrinking. For example, the Viking Bonett, the skillful pirate skilled pirate who reached its peak before the defeat, and the emerging forces represented by the nutria Ginny were killed in a group, and launched an attack on the fourth level of His Highness who was once unable to face it.
In the situation where one super and two strong people are fiercely fighting for power and gathering and separation.
Of course, the only one who was affected by Pavlomu's behavior was Blackbeard.
Because of the special relationship between Lorraine and the pirates, the current pirate empire only has a clear confrontation between the north and the south at the highest level.
The south is Pavlome, based on the Paraguay frontline archipelago, and its activities cover the entire Spanish region on the western coast of South America and Central and North America.
The north is Blackbeard, centered on Elyusera, and is based on the traditional Caribbean and mid-latitude trans-ocean routes of the Pirate Empire.
Wild beasts at the same level often adhere to the principle of mutual avoidance, and even if life or death is at stake, they will not easily step into the core of other people's power. Nassau happens to be at the core of the Blackbeard power.
In other words, Pavlomu's visit to Nassau without being invited was more unreasonable than Lorraine's raid airborne, especially the old man of the Brotherhood said it was conclusive. At that time, the most combative team of Blackbeard and Blackbeard himself were resting in the harbor of Elyusela.
So the second doubt arose, as if it had been agreed in advance, Blackbeard remained silent during the emergencies that were enough to start the Pirate King War and was disconnected throughout the entire process.
Lorraine couldn't help but cover her chin: "It's like an agreement in advance... In other words, the Brotherhood only knows that they have a tacit understanding, but they don't know whether they communicated in advance?"
"The interview between the Pirate Kings cannot be hidden from the Brotherhood." The old man said, "because they will definitely go to the meeting with their flagships, and will never go into other people's nests. In the pirate world, the guy who simply treats the meeting as a negotiation probably has long been dead."
Lorlin agrees deeply with this sentence: "But communication may not necessarily be done in person, right?"
"Why did your Highness come to Nassau in person?"
To confirm...
Lorraine suddenly became silent.
Meet, negotiate, communicate, and social behaviors like this are indeed not as rigid as the leader personally performs, but not everyone can replace them. We need to consider the authority, ability and trust relationships in a comprehensive way. The more important the occasion is, the more this is the case.
Lorraine would risk landing the island because there was no suitable agent on the ship, and so did Pavlomu.
unless……
"Someone can completely replace him and convince Blackbeard to remain silent."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then 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 without affecting equity and wealth, and other keys to determine the ownership of the chamber of commerce. Therefore, Carmen, Chuck, Ramos, Eddie and Cron can control the social energy that is no less than Lorraine while being their employees at the Drake Chamber of Commerce with peace of mind.
Pirates accumulate prestige in a barbaric way. Once Pavlomus's pirate group appears in the pirate group that is enough to compete with the leader, the result will either be a change of dynasty or a different party.
So the person Lorraine hypothesized cannot exist. Pavlomu went deep into Nassau. The most reasonable explanation is that the tacit understanding between him and Blackbeard has surpassed language.
The answer is ridiculous. Even no matter how ridiculous it is, Lorraine must accept it.
Lorraine rubbed her eyebrows irritably: "What? Pavlomu issued a convening order in Nassau? Can the two high men abandon their past grudges and fall in love with each other? Could this convening order be actually a black coupon for me?"
The old man smiled bitterly.
"That Highness went to Nassau and donated five thousand pounds to the Brotherhood, and asked us to issue a call to all the Pirate Kings and the Great Pirates, including you."
"Including me?"
This is really interesting.
The special existence of the Sea Brotherhood, other pirates will be more concerned about their faces even if they don’t think so. Even if they refuse, they have to find a reason to refuse.
Only Lorraine, even if the summoning order was really sent to Miami, Lorraine would not pay attention to it. Pavlomu would definitely guess the result, which means that he only wanted Lorraine to know the content of the summoning, and the content would definitely not harm Lorraine's interests.
"Where is the content?" Lorraine was very interested, "What is the content of the call?"
"I just said it, I don't know." The old man's face became even more bitter. "We refused to call and gave up money for this. The highness did not force it and left Nassau that afternoon."
"A month and a half later, His Highness Cotton Jack issued a call to the summit, narrowing to three His Highness, including him and the Viking King's only candidate for Viking King. As you know, only Bellamy refused to the summit."
"We don't know what the convening is, the place where the convening is, only know that after refusing to call, a rebellion broke out in Bellamy's pirate regiment. Four ships loyal to him sank in the Gulf War, and he and the Vader disappeared."
The old man's voice fluctuated, which made Lorraine suddenly remember the special relationship between the aging guardian of the code and the black prince Bellamy.
He was once the old captain of Bellamy. After abandoning the ship and Bellamy inherited the title of Pirate King, the two sides still maintained a good relationship. Judging from the limited contact, Bellamy should respect him very much.
Lorraine frowned: "Have you ever found Bellamy?"
"Through my old subordinates on the ship that year, I used the secret code from that time to leave him a message. The Hound Henry issued a black coupon and put a reward of 1,000 pounds on his head."
"He has the only way to live now to go ashore and swear to become the guardian of the code. Only then will the black coupon lose its effectiveness, so he will not have to worry about living in the pursuit..."
Lorraine looked at the old man in another place: "A very good suggestion, did he refuse?"
"I don't know if he can receive the message." The old man sighed, "There is no beacon in the vast ocean. My message can only be placed in the hands of a long-standing agreement and familiar intelligence dealers. The possibility of it being passed to him is slim. Even if he receives it, he may not listen to me, just like back then..."
"then?"
"Leonardo, the third generation of Black Prince Bellamy, is not only my crew, but also my grandson."
The bloody plot suddenly unfolded in front of Lorraine, and many unreasonable aspects of today's talk were solved at once.
Lorraine smiled: "No wonder...you want me to find him and rescue him?"
The old man ignored Lorraine's speculation, and he whispered.
"Cotton Jack has a personal grudge with you. The old call may not have anything to do with you, but since you are here, it means that the new call is likely to have added content about you."
"Cotton Jack, Hound Henry, Viking Bonett, Black Prince Bellamy, My grandson is the only person in the world who knows the content of the call and is willing to tell you."
"I have nothing to ask for, I just hope he lives safely, which is fair."
Lorraine pondered for a moment: "Yes, it's really fair."
