When the six sailboats of the pirates' Combined Fleet sailed into the port of Dainagau, they saw the Ark berthed beside the pier.

And Rorsch, who was standing on the pier and dressed in black.

At this moment, Edward, Blackbeard and others had only the same idea in their hearts:

"He did it!"

It has to be said that this Ark hunting operation is the first joint operation since the establishment of the Pirates Alliance.

You should know that in the world of pirates, intrigue is the main theme.

For the sake of gold and silver wealth, there are countless incidents between the captain and the captain. The crew overthrow the captain, or the captain executes the crew.

The seven pirates with different personalities and different thoughts are rare to stand in the same camp and work together.

In addition to the lofty goal of "pirate kingdom", these pirates also have the results of Rorschach's efforts over the past period of time.

If he hadn't had he proposed a joint venture to build a fortress and had a good time with several captains, the already loose pirate alliance would not have been so united.

Under Rorschach's propaganda offensive, the pirates' sense of belonging to the pirate country Nassau has become much stronger.

For the pirates, Nassau is the only country that accepts them fairly and can enjoy freedom.

This is also why Blackbeard, Charles Wayne, Jack Lackham and others are willing to participate in this action and implement the plan obediently.

Not only for Nassau, but also for yourself…

The seven pirate captains who participated in the hunting stood on the pier and looked at the Ark in front of them, and were impressed by their huge and elegant figure.

“It’s really beautiful, isn’t it?”

"With this warship, we can further strengthen the coastal defense of Nassau..."

"Rosha, how did you do it?"

Facing everyone's curious eyes, Roxa just spread his hands and responded meaningfully:

"It's just luck..."

Everyone thought he was modest.

But only Rorschach himself knew that this time was so smooth, there was indeed some luck.

As the flagship of the Cuban Colonial Squadron, the Ark is a second-class battleship with four layers of artillery decks and up to ninety ship-side artillery guns. It can be regarded as one of the most powerful sailing warships of this era.

There are two reasons why the pirates seized the Ark so easily.

On the one hand, after the ship landed, Dikas, who thought it was safe, lacked vigilance and did not expect that the enemy had already been ambushed in his lair;

On the other hand, the crew on the ship was seriously insufficient, with only more than one-third of the staff.

This is the truth that Rorschach learned after he seized the Ark and cleared the number of surrendered crew members.

Although Cuban Governor Torres handed over the flagship of the Cuban colonial squadron to Dikas for use.

But instead of equip him with enough crew, he left more than half of the personnel quota to recruit sailors for Dekas himself.

After all, not every Spanish soldier can understand French.

This time, Dikas went out to sea to recruit a group of compatriot sailors to return to France.

However, before he could return to his hometown, he lost his life in his secret hiding place, and even handed over the flagship of the Cuban squadron to the pirates.

It can be imagined that if Torres knew this news, he would definitely be furious and would like to bring a large number of troops and organize a fleet to retake the Ark.

However, with such a sea beast guarding the port of Nassau, even if the Spaniards come to take revenge, they dare not act rashly. Even if the sea overlord Royal England Fleet attacks, they will be afraid of three points.

Blackbeard had already thought about it. After seizing the Ark, he moved down the fifty cannons from the ship and built a gun defense line at the port of Nassau.

If any country's fleet wants to get close to Nassau, it will withstand the ruthless bombardment of artillery fire!

Others also agreed with Blackbeard’s plan.

Looking at the Spanish soldiers kneeling on the beach, Edward raised his eyebrows and asked, "What should we do with these guys?"

Charles Wayne, who was standing beside him, held his chest with his hands and replied casually: "As far as I say, throw it directly into the sea to feed the sharks."

At this time, Rorschach expressed his already prepared words: "The Ark needs the manpower to drive the ship."

"Anyway, they will be sent to the military court if they go back like this. As long as we do, I think they are very willing to join us. For Nassau, there are no more experienced sailors."

Hearing this, Blackbeard stroked his blackbeard and nodded and echoed: "Rosha is right. If we want to deal with the king's attack, we need more people..."

The others had no objection, so they did it according to the two of them.

As Rorschach expected, these captured Spanish soldiers and sailors knew that they had very few choices.

Especially at the instigation of the first mate named "Dio", all members were forced to become pirates and become members of the Pirate League...

Taking the Ark is a very important victory for the Pirates League and even the entire Nassau.

Just so happens that there is an underground wine cellar in Dekas' manor, which stores a large amount of rum.

So, a carnival party followed...

...

The morning after the carnival, when Edward, who was hangover, came to the dock, he only saw Rorschach and Kidd sitting on the beach, holding rum, enjoying a rare leisure time.

When they approached the two, they took the bottle of wine handed over by Rorschach, poured it into their mouths, and Edward asked:

"Why are you two left? Where are Sachs and the others?"

"They took the Ark back and said they were convinced that we would find a way to properly use the bay."

"Yeah...of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, Edward looked around and raised his hand to touch his chin, saying:

"If we want, we can accommodate a fleet. If we have a little renovation, this will be a good place to settle down. Maybe one day, I can convince my wife to move here."

Hearing this, Kid raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you married?"

"In the name of God, I'm married. But she's been away from me for a long time."

It can be heard that when Edward said this, he felt a little lonely in his tone.

This reminded Roche of the story of Edward and his wife Caroline.

Which is more important, stability or decency?

In his early years, because of his different family philosophy and his parents' obstruction, Caroline was disappointed with Edward's dissatisfaction and eventually left him and moved back to his parents' home.

If Caroline knew that Edward had always loved her, and everything she did was to return home in glory one day and give her a rich and decent life.

At that time, will Caroline feel Edward's good intentions and return to him again?

Rorschach doesn't know the answer to this question.

But he felt that if the two of them became closer in the future, they might be able to persuade Edward to go back and see his wife.
