In the Tatsumi Sea, encountering pirates is not a new thing, and not meeting pirates is a new thing.

In fact, in the first ten days of the Qiyao Aurora, things like this happened almost every day, so often that Lu Xi and his friends on the ship began to get bored. Just look at Lim to know that this three-in-the-dark doll Jianhao is actually a guy with a very serious tendency to violence, and his favorite thing is to beat the enemy so that he can't even recognize his mother with an expression that doesn't bully and fluctuate, but now even she can't keep her spirits up, so you can imagine how depressed she is.

In the last few days, if it is an ordinary pirate, everyone usually sinks the other party's ship and leaves. But this time, the murderous name that the two pirate captains are usually proud of has finally become their life talisman.

"Ordinary pirates have no value, and the most I can do is let Kalman Jr. personally copy the cannon to add a little bit of experience. Of course, thanks to your colleagues, he has grown quite a bit now! Lu Xi showed a grateful expression, and it wasn't until the two captains were already trembling that he smiled and patted them on the shoulders vigorously: "Of course, the value of the two of you is far from that simple!" The reputation of the 'Baron' Rolandisius and the ordination monk Uruki is actually well-known in this sea. ”

"Dear Madam...... I admit that we have no eyes and no one can recognize others. "Now that their identities have been directly revealed, of course, there is no need for these two famous pirates to act. The ordination breaker monk sank his face and said nothing, but the "baron" dressed as if he was a nobleman squeezed out a very bold smile on his rather tragic face: "But what do you mean? If it's something very difficult, it's hard for us to cooperate......"

"It's not about asking you to cooperate, it's about giving you a way out...... I need a navigator to Kadein Island. It seems that only you pirates who have attended the meeting of the Pirate King of the Tatsumi Sea know where you want to go, right? Lu Xi beckoned, and Lim unfolded a huge chart with great opportunity.

"This island is said to be a sacred place for pirates, well, unlike the pirate city in Tatugar, it seems to be a place closer to your spiritual sanctuary or something. Most seafarers know its approximate location, but the surrounding waters are full of complex currents and irregular whirlpools that are inaccessible even from the sky, because the thick clouds, combined with chaotic currents and thunderstorms, can make even real dragons lose their way. ”

The two pirate captains looked at each other again, then shook their heads at the same time. The "Ring Breaking Monk" Uruki, who looked like a demonic beast, couldn't even hide his sneer: "Then, you also want us to die!" Dear Madam! I'm going to die anyway, I'd rather die at your hands now......"

"Huh? Didn't I warn you? What is it that gives you the illusion that you still have the right to choose? For now, you can only help me, everyone cooperate amicably, and ...... It doesn't help me, but I can use all kinds of magic to get enough information out of your brains, and then throw your corpses with broken souls into the sea to feed the fish. Lu Xi shrugged: "Of course, the information that magic can extract from the soul is limited, and it takes a lot of time, not to mention that you are such a determined man at sea...... But it doesn't matter, I have the time, two more months to wander the seas, and I'll always meet a few more famous pirates like you, well, the kind of celebrities who have attended pirate conventions. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle, it's time-consuming, but it's also fun, isn't it? ”

"But because it took so much time, I had to find something else to pass the time. For example, it would be fun to make a small hole in a person's body and tie a rope and throw it into the sea to catch sharks, right? Nicole, who was sitting behind Lu Xi, laughed and made a fishhook move.

Is this girl really an elf? The two pirate captains swallowed hard and shrank their heads violently. In fact, they themselves are quite reluctant to accept this kind of contradictory mix.

It seems to be to add a little bit of Lu Xi's persuasiveness. Lim on the side also deliberately made a finger slip around her neck, and opened her mouth expressionlessly: "Sha! Sha! ”

"So, when are you going to use a meme with only such a line?"

There is a famous pirate city on the Tatsu Sea, which is heard of by pirates and non-pirates, located on an island called Tatuga. It is the only port on the sea that provides a "safe and comfortable" place for pirates to dock, and it is also providing a "safe and reliable" channel for pirates to sell stolen goods and launder money. The backstage of this city is said to be the group of bloodthirsty Sea Clan Black Nagas, of course, it is also said that there are all kinds of black (meow) Dao chieftains standing behind it, including the Dark Brotherhood and the Faceless Association, and there is even gossip that the first-class wealthy merchants of Neosfia, and even the continental nations on both sides of the Chenhai Sea also support its final existence.

It's still the same old saying: there is nothing new under the sun anyway, just like in the Age of Discovery, the most combative pirates in Lu Xi's hometown actually have an official background to a greater or lesser extent. The reason why a stronghold such as Pirate City, which is said to serve only pirates, continues to exist to this day is also very realistic.

The pirates think they're the freest people on the blue sea, but is that really the case?

It is said that there are also people on Tatuga who have set up so-called pirate clubs, pirate guilds, pirate professional mutual unions, and so on at first glance, which may not sound like a problem, but when you think about it, there are so many slots that you don't know where to throw them up. It sounds like a hard brush, but we all know that when an industry is "organized", "formalized" and "standardized", of course, it will be the beginning of the industry's acceptance by the public, but it is also the beginning of the practitioners being included in the territory of power and capital control. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, nothing more than that.

In comparison, those who are really qualified, have the strength and vision, especially those who are immortal, and have survived from the last generation to the present day, are actually quite disdainful of the pirate city that has only existed for a hundred years. The true spiritual sanctuary of these "free sea boys" is a mysterious place called Kadein Island.

More than 1,000 years ago, in the middle of the Qiming War, a man named Saru? Morality? Dowphy's Pirate ...... Well, according to the official history books, he was indeed a pirate, but the small section was in the way, but the big section was not lost. Although he is also a traitor, he kills people and extorts goods, but basically only attacks rich businessmen and tycoons, although he does not help the poor, but he has never killed innocents indiscriminately, so he can be regarded as a "grand thief". At that time, although the maritime trade in Chenhai was not as prosperous as it is now, it was at least enough to feed a large number of "free men on the sea".

And this "free boy at sea" in the bar handle (at that time it was only one of the bar handles), although Sanguan did not give up everything to join the Dawn Alliance, and the demon god lackeys fought for 300 rounds, but there is still a normal person's temperament, and from time to time he will attack the demon and the black Naga, or help the allies transport military rations or something...... However, such a pirate, who was almost only begging for a living on the sea, and was basically semi-neutral, was attacked by Naga and demons during a cargo shipment. Captain Duffy's fleet was mostly damaged, and his brothers were also killed or wounded. He and his remnant brothers, piloting the last ship, the legendary pirate ship "Silver Sunshine", wandered into an irregular and mysterious sea as they evaded the pursuit of the enemy.

Taking advantage of this chaotic sea, Captain Duffy finally shook off his pursuers and miraculously passed through the sea that could tear people and ships to pieces at any moment. He ended up on an island, and it was the kind of island where mountains, waters, forests, animals, and sparrows were small.

Captain Douffy and his last friends have been farming and surviving on this island for nearly 5 years, not only finding some ancient inheritances from the Age of the Gods on the island, all of which have made great progress, but also finally figuring out the island's passage to the open sea. According to their story of surviving on a desert island, there is also a very famous novel called Confinement Ah No, "Mysterious Island" in later generations, and even Lu Xi, a traveler who has completely nourished his appetite by the literary and artistic works of his hometown, has read it several times.

Captain Duffy named the island Kadein Island, in honor of his good friend Kadein who died in the battle to cover himself. He left the island with his friends, whose strength had risen by several orders of magnitude, and soon gathered a group of quite powerful fleets and subordinates again.

As he began to raid the demons and the Black Naga fleets everywhere in Tatsukai, he contacted his former colleagues, including friends and of course your mortal enemies. However, in that era, these lawless outlaws were all impressed by the skull flag with a black background. When the time was ripe, when Captain Duffy held a pirate conference on Kadein Island and was recognized by everyone as the first pirate king of Tatsukai, he had already gathered more than 300 large and small warships and more than 20,000 fierce sailors under his command. Although this fleet has never paid attention to the orders of the Imperial Court, the Dawn Alliance, and the Great Sanctuary, it must be admitted that this is the most powerful naval force on the side of the Dawn Alliance at that time.

Subsequently, the pirate fleet completely destroyed the resistance of the dark naga and demonic forces in several major battles. The Dawn Alliance, which belongs to the people of order, also completely controls the sea dominance of Chenhai. The Dawn Alliance, which obtained mercenaries and material exchanges on the continent of Sothness, gradually gained the advantage of war.

The world's first recognized pirate king of the Tatsukai Sea is remembered in such a positive way, which is indeed a legend that can only be created in that great era. And then, for the first time, the pirates of the entire Chenhai fought under the call of a banner, and also for a purpose that was so glorious that even the most stubborn defenders could not find fault with it. As a result, this has also become the most glorious past of this group of self-proclaimed "men who are the freest men on the sea" and "men who fight with the sea".

Captain Daofei, the first recognized pirate king, died in battle before the dawn of victory in the Kaiming War. The pirates had always thought that if it weren't for the bad birth of their spiritual leader, they would actually be among the twelve heroes based on merit.

"The official doesn't want to commemorate Captain Duffy, so we'll do it ourselves!" The pirates with this idea gather on the island of Kadein every few years, originally just to have a drink together and pay tribute to the first generation of pirates around the world. Later, it developed into a form of alliance. Tempering conflicts, duels under ships, challenges for newcomers, the proclamation of the birth of a new pirate king, and so on will take place here. As a result, every time the pirates gather, the mysterious trails surrounded by a maze of currents, reefs and thunderclouds often seem to be the Olympics.

In this way, Kadein Island has become a spiritual mecca for pirates, especially those who have a long history......

Of course, Lu Xi, who is not a pirate himself and is not ready to open the pirate king mode, now has to go to that rather mysterious place on the Tatsumi Sea. This can only be very sad to say: the golden-bearded Drake who buried the treasure in the first place is indeed quite good at playing. (To be continued.) )
