Penzance Island is the richest pirate island in the Saragu Sea, as it is owned by the Pirate King Bao, who sells magical arcana.
The three most important systems on a pirate ship are the power system, the weapons system, and the magic field system. The power system determines whether a pirate ship can catch its prey, the weapons system determines whether a pirate ship can suppress an armed merchant vessel, and the magic field system determines the pirate ship's defensive capabilities.
Alchemical Enhancement Arrays are a rare and high-quality commodity urgently needed by rough-and-tumble pirates. Pirate King Bao is a defected Level 6 alchemist who masterfully crafts alchemical enhancement arrays.
Pirates may not be rich, but they risk their lives robbing merchant ships. The Pirate King must be rich, as she robs pirates of their wealth. The Pirate King's alchemical reinforcement array emphasizes its strength, durability, and high price.
If a pirate offends Pirate King Bao, the Pirate King will even take the initiative to provide the enemy with a high-level reinforcement array. The reward is very simple: their head.
When Rudolph first landed on Redbeard Island, with the exception of Redbeard Castle, the island was filled with low, rambling wooden sheds. After more than half a year of rule, most of the buildings on Redbeard Island are now low, neat wooden sheds, with the occasional brick and stone house.
However, Penzance Island is different. Many of the buildings on this island are constructed of brick and stone. At first glance, at least half of them appear to be made of brick and stone. This proves that the pirates on this island lead a measured life; otherwise, they wouldn't have built brick and stone buildings. The Pirate King truly provided his men with a sense of security rare among pirates.
Not far from the port of Penzance Island stands a very tall building, resembling a council chamber. To construct such a council chamber would be worthy of a fugitive alchemist.
Meanwhile, in the council chamber of Penzance Island, a group of men were arguing and cursing in a smoky voice, completely unbecoming of this building, which was comparable to the town hall of a city on the northern continent.
Each pirate captain is allowed to bring five men with him. In addition to the ten best pirates, several influential pirates are also invited.
The stench in the council chamber was unrelenting. Dirty pirates crowded the building. The smell of sour clothes, greasy hair, the distinctive odor of alcohol and sweat after a hangover, the foul breath from a month of not brushing teeth, and so on – all this deprived the decor of this council chamber of its brightness and revealed its essence. As much as it resembled the council chamber of the Northern Continent, it was a pirate building.
Worse, a quarrel was about to break out in the council chamber. The long oak table that Bao had laboriously obtained was full of spittle, which greatly upset her.
These filthy pirates weren't worthy of such an elegant long table made of solid wood. They would have been more appropriately presented with a few coffin lids.
Pirate King Bao, sitting at the front of the long table, frowned and was in a bad mood.
She shouldn't have insisted on the pirates expressing their opinions fully. Now, those opinions were being expressed too openly, which was no different from a quarrel.
Their bickering gave Bao a headache, and it reminded her of the time when she became a teacher after graduating from the Alchemy Academy. Those younger disciples never stopped bickering, but here, it wasn't those innocent and sweet disciples quarrelling, but pirates whose hands were stained with blood.
If Bao hadn't sat in front with a dark face, the pirates would have drawn their swords and hacked each other to pieces.
The pirates had different opinions on how to deal with the Evil God Cult's ultimatum.
Bao turned her head slightly and looked at Black Baron Basha.
Black Baron Basha was a native of the Kingdom of Elba and a hunted knight.
After his land was taken from him and he became a pirate, Basha received repeated promotions throughout his life of blood on the edge of a knife, and now he is a Level 5 knight.
Basha treasures his noble blood and title very highly. Having become a pirate, he behaves the same as he did as a nobleman: he wears an exquisite dress and a silver wig.
Noting the presence of the Pirate King Bao, Basha nodded slightly, indicating that he would honor their previous personal agreement.
Pirate King Bao certainly had his own character. First, she sought out the Black Baron Basha, whom she had known before. Fortunately, Basha was of the same mind. He didn't take the opportunity to exact revenge on all of Elba's nobility. Instead, he wanted to somehow regain his title and then fight his enemies to satisfy their hatred, as nobles do.
After receiving Basha's answer, Bao reached out and pressed the alarm button on the table.
The sudden, sharp, piercing ringing of the bell caused the pirates in the meeting room to cover their ears one by one.
Oli. It was an alchemical product of the great 6th-level alchemist Bao, possessing astonishing power.
After the bell rang, Bao slowly said, "According to Henry Morgan's Pirate Code, I, as the greatest pirate power, summon you at the moment of life and death for pirates."
Pirates also have a code of conduct. According to the oldest pirate code, a pirate captain must be the first to board a ship upon capture, and any crew that betrays the captain will be hacked to pieces and fed to the fish, etc.
"Pirate captains, please restrain your men. This is my meeting room. Follow my rules. Next, the pirate captains will take turns speaking to express their positions."
The Pirate King's Bell is very effective. The pirates, who had just been arguing in the depths, fell silent and stood there, waiting for their captain and the other pirate leaders to speak.
Black Baron Basha was about to give a speech to set the tone for this pirate conference, but he heard another pirate's voice.
Basha sat to Bao's right, and the pirate who was speaking sat to Bao's left.
"Ha!"
With a piercing, pirate-like cry, Roberts, who had left no survivors, attracted the others' attention.
"Leave No One Alive" is Roberts' title, meaning that when he plunders, he seeks only treasure, not lives. Every ship he plunders leaves behind an empty vessel and corpses floating in the sea.
Roberts' strength as a Level 6 Giant earned him a second title, "Underwater Monster."
A two-hundred-meter giant lurks in the depths of the sea, masterfully wielding water and ripping open the belly of an enemy ship with every attack, while the poor people on board see only a huge, terrifying black shadow on the water.
Roberts looked at the other captains with a grim expression:
"What's there to discuss with the ultimatum of the Evil God's Cult? Of course, we will side with the strongest."
Look at the dying gaze of the Elba royal family. They were too coerced by the Council of Alchemists and were forced to restore the throne by force.
Now, due to the attack of the Evil God's Cult, King Carloman XVI of Elba will not live long.
Of course, we will join the Evil God's Cult and rob the nobles of Elba. I heard that these people have been accumulating wealth for hundreds of years, and their wealth is simply astounding.
"Let's listen to the cult of the evil god, plunder Elba, and let our ship sink from too much treasure. What happiness!
Treasure! Women! Good wine and good meat! Isn't that the eternal theme of pirates!"
Roberts's words about leaving no one alive resonated with many pirates, and approving voices rang out in the council hall.
Plunder is the main industry of pirates. In the eyes of many pirates, the war between the cult of the Evil God and Elba is a feast of plunder not to be missed.
