Chapter 505: Vote for Yourself
The pirate kings waited for a long time, but no one came.
Everyone's expressions naturally relaxed a lot.
One of the pirate entourage sneered: "What pirate code, I think it's all used to scare people, we pirates are some uneducated people, who can make a pirate code?" It's just empty words! In my opinion, what pirate code we are waiting for here is pure waste of time. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a gunshot.
The pirate attendant's heart was pierced by a bullet, and he fell to the ground stiff.
The pirates present were in an uproar.
You know, the manager Adams has also said just now that no pirate king can shoot here, otherwise, he will be regarded as a public enemy of pirates!
At this time, who dares to risk the world's condemnation?
Everyone's eyes looked at the door, and they saw a tall man with a somewhat similar appearance and dress to Jack, holding a smoking short gun, standing there majestically.
The biggest difference between him and Jack is not only in age, but also in expression.
The coldness on his face was real coldness, a coldness that could shoot and kill at any time.
And Jack...... Jack wasn't cold at all.
"Mistress Teague has arrived." Administrator Adams announced loudly.
Teague is not the Pirate King, but a caretaker above the Pirate King.
On the surface, Teague only cares for the Pirate Code, but the Pirate Code is as high as the Pirate Emperor, and even the Pirate Emperor has to follow the rules of the Pirate Code, so Teague is actually the Regent.
The Pirate King is in this room, and he can't fire, but the Lord Regent can.
What's more, the ignorant pirate entourage just now, but he questioned the "Pirate Code", and there was no problem for Teague to shoot him.
Teague said with a flat and cold expression: "The Codex is supreme. ”
All the pirate kings in the room craned their necks, and Jack hid behind Barbossa.
Barbossa took off his hat and saluted respectfully to Teague, "Captain, long time no see. ”
Teague gave Barbosa a cold look, and simply replied with an "um".
Barbossa received Teague's response, and his face was immediately ecstatic, and he hurriedly made way for Teague.
Jack's body immediately stiffened, not knowing whether to continue hiding or what to tell Teague first.
After all...... Dear Daddy.
But I'm scared.
Teague said coldly, "You're in my way, kid. ”
Jack quickly stiffened his body, and the whole person was like a puppet.
Teague walked over to the round table of the Pirate Kings and turned to wave to the retinue behind him.
The two attendants in the back, carrying a locked steel book larger than a pirate treasure chest, moved to the round table with difficulty.
The two attendants were also dressed in monk-style robes, and their hair, beards, and eyebrows were already as white as hoarfrost.
The two old men were already very weak, and the two of them did their best to carry the heavy steel codex.
A pirate retinue next to him tried to come to help, but another pirate retinue hurriedly stopped him.
"You don't want to die? It's a pirate code, and you can't touch it without permission! ”
The kind pirate immediately shrunk his neck, not daring to move any more.
The other pirates were also full of reverence, they had only heard of the Pirate Code, but this was the first time they had actually seen it in person.
Teague pulls out the key he was carrying, unlocks the lock on the Codex, and flips open the heavy steel cover to find the catalog of the Pirate Emperor.
He looked at the page about the Pirate King, then nodded, "Barbossa is right, the Pirate King cannot order other Pirate Kings to fight, and the elected Pirate King can only declare war. ”
Barbossa grinned, "Thank you, Lord Tigue. ”
Obviously, Barbossa made meticulous preparations before coming.
Of course, he didn't expect everyone to elect a Pirate Emperor, he just wanted to make the road of "declaring war" impassable, without the Pirate Emperor, naturally he couldn't declare war, so if he couldn't declare war, he could only take the remaining two paths, one was to be when the turtle hid in the sunken city and waited for death, and the other was to release Colybso to deal with Beckett and the Sunset Fleet.
As soon as Teague was about to close the pirate code, Jack mustered up the courage to walk up to Teague, "...... Let me see, shall we? ”
Teague said coldly, "Yes." ”
Jack found the page about the Pirate Emperor and read it carefully: "...... The Pirate Emperor has the right to wage war and negotiate with a common enemy......"
Indeed, according to the Code of Pirates, if you want to declare war on the fleet that never sets, you can only declare it by the Pirate Emperor.
Mrs. Qing said in a cold voice: "Since the first pirate conference, we pirates have never had a pirate emperor, and without the pirate emperor, I naturally can't fight in a unified manner. ”
Jack immediately said, "Then why don't we choose a Pirate Emperor?" ”
"Haha, don't tease Jack!" The Pirate King Jorkard laughed and said, "Every Pirate King Conference wants to elect a Pirate Emperor, but every Pirate King will vote for himself!" No Pirate King votes more than anyone else, so there is no Pirate King! ”
Jack looked at the Pirate Code, then raised his hand and said, "I propose that we vote for the Pirate Emperor!" ”
Barbossa gave Jack a blank look, "Stupid, Jack, you're just wasting your time by doing this!" ”
Jack said with a smile: "The code is supreme, and it is clearly written in the code that when the nine pirate kings are present, any pirate king can propose to vote for the pirate king, and the pirate king with the most votes will be elected immediately!" ”
Barbossa pushed Jack away and carefully read the terms in the dictionary.
"First, the candidate must be the Pirate King."
"Second, you have to kill someone."
"Third, you have to have a boat."
"Hehe, this condition is really simple!" Barbossa grinned, "Well, since you're proposing that everyone vote for the Pirate Emperor, let's vote!" Mrs. Qing, come first. ”
Madame Qing stood up and said in a cold voice: "I, Madame Qing, vote for myself as the Pirate Emperor!" ”
The Indian Ocean Pirate King Sam Bojie stood up and said in a shrill voice: "I, Sam Bojie, vote for myself as the Pirate Emperor. ”
"I, Armand, vote for myself the Pirate Emperor......"
"I, Barbossa, vote for myself as the Pirate Emperor!"
Sure enough, the pirate kings voted for themselves, and none of them voted for anyone else.
Xu Feng was about to vote, but Jack suddenly walked beside him, lowered his voice and said, "Xu Feng, you must vote for yourself." ”
Xu Feng smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I have this intention." ”
After speaking, Xu Feng stood up and said loudly: "I, the Tang Pirate King Xu Feng, vote for myself!" ”
