Two Hundred and Ninety-Seven The Pirate Prince Bellamy

In all fairness, because of its non-productive nature, this small island belonging to pirates presents Lorraine with a strange sense of comfort where man and nature coexist harmoniously.

Entering through the forest, the path is deep and deep, and after tens of minutes of twists and turns, Lorraine's eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a clear small lake. There are scattered and messy simple wooden buildings along the lake, surrounded by the largest, most standardized, and cleanest domed house in the middle, which makes it easy for people to distinguish the primary from the secondary. It comes with a majesty and a sanctity that a building of this size would hardly possess.

And it's surprisingly lively here.

Every wooden building is surrounded by people, men, women, drunks, drunks, drunks, drunks...

Singing, dancing, fighting, making love by the lake in broad daylight...

A small open space in the forest is filled with all kinds of unrestrained sounds, and through the winding road, it doesn't penetrate into the forest at all.

A magical place...

Lorraine looked at the freshness curiously, and saw a tall and heroic young man waving his hands approaching from a distance, revealing the long sword on his waist and the short gun hidden under the windbreaker while running.

"Raise your gun! Stop!"

Thirty long guns hula la all aimed at the past.

The naturally familiar young man turned pale with fright, and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hey, brother, let your sailors relax! This is Tortuga, except for duels hosted by the Brotherhood, private fighting is prohibited, let alone the use of firearms!"

"Bato, tell everyone to put down their guns." Lorraine smiled and said kindly, "The gun in his arms doesn't have a hammer, and if he only has a long sword, there is no threat to Hannah and me."

Good words that touch the heart must not sound good, but fortunately, the effect is good. The gunmen raised their barrels in unison, and the neat movements made the young man's eyes shine.

"Brother, your sailors don't look like free pirates."

"It's not like that, we're privateers."

"Privater?"

The young man exclaimed in surprise, but his face had such a clear expression.

"The noble privateers have become less and less willing to have anything to do with lowly pirates over the years."

"Really?" Lorraine maintained a smiling and warm expression, "Could it be that the Sea Brotherhood no longer recognizes the skeleton flag on the privateer's masthead?"

"That's not the case. As colleagues, even if there are differences in philosophy, we are still the same in terms of life style." The young man thought for a while and added, "At most, we focus on differences."

"I like your different focus." Lorraine stretched out his hand, "Kingston Drake Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine Drake."

"Bellamy III Leonardo, according to the traditional pirate law, I discard my surname."

Two big hands are tightly held together.

Feeling the power coming from the palm, Lorraine took a serious look at the sunshine in front of him for the first time, and there were some familiar young people.

He is about 190 centimeters tall, with slender limbs and huge hands and feet. His eye sockets are slightly sunken, and his brow bones are prominent. His facial features are well-defined and tough.

He has a big mouth, the corners of his mouth are wider than ordinary people, and he shows his white teeth when he smiles.

This large mouth became as strange a feature of his body as the huge hands and feet, leaving a deep impression on people, like a shark transformed into a human form.

He is Bellamy III...

One of the six surviving pirate kings, who inherited the surname and title of the famous Robin Hood at sea in history, but judging from his name and appearance, he seems to be a Hispanic young man.

Lorraine looked at Bellamy, a hint of intrigue gradually appeared in his smile.

"Tortuga is indeed a holy place for pirates. Unexpectedly, I am worthy of being greeted by a pirate king in person."

"You seem to have misunderstood something, brother!" Bellamy withdrew her hand anxiously, still showing her innocence, "No, you probably don't like the frivolous name of brother in your communication, what should I call you? ? Sir? Friend?"

"Call me Drake.

Lorraine doesn't care either. "

"Then Lorraine." Bellamy happily accepted Lorraine's suggestion, "Lorraine, I didn't approach you with a purpose. Our meeting was just a coincidence, and I'm just curious, why would someone ever Exile the blood of the traitor into Tortuga."

"Exile..." Lorraine looked at Yidi, "Isn't this the main road?"

Bellamy laughed loudly: "As expected, this is your first visit to Turtle Island. When you landed on the island from the south coast, don't you think this island is too deserted?"

"It seems... that's true."

"You should find a guide, or if you go around the island for a week, you will find that the north coast and the south coast are two completely different worlds."

Bellamy patted Lorraine's arm happily, and re-introduced: "This is Tortuga, which is not only a sanctuary for pirates, but also a bustling black port."

"The jungle you're standing in is called the Crown Oasis by the pirates, and it's the holiest place on the whole island. Its northward path is called the Freedom Trail, and it leads to the bustling market town, while the southward path is called The path of blood is the last place of redemption for the traitors."

Lorraine raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "Why do you say that this road is the place of salvation for betrayers?"

"Because of the benevolence of the first black baronet," said Bellamy, "Emperor Morgan issued the code, and the pirates have their own laws ever since."

"In order for the pirates to stay on board with peace of mind, there are many clauses in the code to protect ordinary pirates. One of them is that the captain cannot harm his crew members on board. Even if it is such a serious crime as betrayal, he must issue a black ticket after the trial, and then Send the traitor ashore, and give him a chance to escape before execution."

"Then what?"

"Then this law was not well enforced. The Emperor just forbade the captains to kill people on board. The captains could exile the betrayer to small islands and reefs, leaving him nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape. "

"The first generation of black quasi-barons amended this law. He stipulated that those who have been issued black coupons can surrender, and then be taken to Tortuga to challenge the punishment of blood according to their own wishes."

"When the execution of the bloody journey is activated, a small canoe with food, rum and muskets will be left on the beach on the south coast of the island. The traitor must escape the two-kilometer jungle road with bare hands and find the boat. paddle out to sea."

"Before the canoe goes into the sea, the pirate captain and his supporters can use any method to hunt him down. Once the canoe goes into the sea, the traitor will be pardoned and protected by the Brotherhood of the Sea."

Lorraine couldn't understand the brain circuit of the pirates: "Protect the traitor? Does this law really make sense?"

"So pirates and privateers are just traveling together." Bellamy raised his head proudly, "Pirates are free subjects, loyalty is freedom, and betrayal is also freedom. The leader on the ship may not like this freedom, but he can give it to him." Appropriate punishment, but never deprivation of liberty from the leader."

"What's more, the original intention of the first generation of black quasi-barons to revise the code was not to replace the original regulations of the emperor with the punishment of blood, but to set basic norms to ensure that the punishment of black coupons can be treated correctly by everyone."

"It sounds really interesting..." Lorraine couldn't help laughing.

Bellamy laughed too.

He naturally took Lorraine's arm, clenched it tightly, and at the same time raised his other hand, pointing around the chaotic and filthy "Holy Land" in front of him.

He said loudly: "Okay, Lorraine, the story is over. Now it's time for you to tell me why you, a wealthy businessman who looks more like a prey, came to Tortuga? An outing?"

"Someone told me that if I want to join the competition for Pirate King, I must first be recognized by the Brotherhood of the Sea. This is the main purpose of my coming to this backwater."

Lorraine flicked her wrist and easily broke free from Bellamy's restraint.

"You know? For a pirate who claims to be free, it's not free at all."
