Three months. These three months could be said to be a rare period of peace in the Caribbean Sea. Many islands and forces took advantage of these three months to carry out business dealings, trade with each other, and trade. The scale of the merchant ships was also larger than usual. Because there were no pirates, the safety could be said to be greatly increased. Naturally, he would not miss such an opportunity. What kind of harvest he could obtain would depend on these three months.
"I didn't know there was such a tradition."
Gan Ning and Wu Yong looked at each other, seeing a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes. They hadn't expected such a tradition to exist among the pirates. It was completely unexpected.
It was too unexpected.
"I wonder if Young Master Zheng knows where the Pirate Alliance is located? If you can tell me, I'd be eternally grateful. "
Gan Ning took a deep breath and asked.
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Zheng Chenggong shook his head and smiled wryly. "Even pirates don't know where the Pirate Alliance's headquarters are, much less us. It's one of the most mysterious places in the Caribbean Sea.
How do pirates get there without knowing the location? "
Wu Yong asked, seeing a flaw in the explanation.
"There is simply no need to know the location. Any famous pirate can obtain the protection and favor of the Pirate Alliance. When the time comes, they can use the gold coins issued by the Pirate Alliance, the Pirate Gold Coins, to carry out a sacrifice. Then, they can say a special incantation to open the gate to the Pirate Alliance. Once they step in, they can directly reach the Pirate Alliance. Thus, no one knows where the Great Source is. No one knows how to get there either. "
Zheng Chenggong shook his head.
The Pirate Alliance's location had always been a great secret. No one could figure out why the Pirate Alliance had been as stable as Mount Tai all this time, something that no power could easily shake.
As long as their foundation remained intact, the pirates would have a way out, capital, and something to rely on.
"What's the incantation?"
Wu Yong asked with a slight frown.
"The incantation is simple. Long live Pirate Emperor Olon Riske." Zheng Chenggong said gravely, "Then, by sacrificing Pirate Gold Coins, one can open up a passageway to the Pirate Alliance. However, ordinary people cannot do it; only pirates can. After chanting an incantation, the Pirate Emperor will look at you and identify you. Only pirates can enter. If you are not a pirate, even if you chant an incantation, there will be no reaction. That's why the Pirate Alliance's location is still a secret. Both entry and exit are strange. "
This was one of the reasons why pirates in the Caribbean Sea worshipped the Pirate Emperor. With the Pirate Alliance, they had an incomparably safe path of retreat. There were almost no hidden dangers, and it was a safe house for countless pirates to take refuge in.
"So that's how it is." Gan Ning frowned deeply. "Is there any other way to find the pirate base and the Pirate Emperor?"
"No. At least until now, no one knows how to get to the Pirate Alliance through other means. If there is, it should be the Pirate Emperor himself. There are rumors that the Pirate Alliance isn't in the Caribbean Sea, but in another space or even in of a secret realm. No one can verify whether this is true or not. "
Zheng Chenggong answered all the questions he knew without holding back. He told them everything he knew, no matter how big or small, to show his sincerity.
He didn't dare play any tricks against Da Yi.
They even wanted to form some relations with the Great Yi, pulling them closer. Comparing the Great Yi to their Coconut King City, it was undoubtedly the difference between an egg and a rock. Even Zheng He's ship wouldn't be able to contend against Da Yi.
Putting everything else aside, even if these scarlet sky ships weren't as powerful as Legendary-grade pirate ships, they weren't too far off. There wasn't just a single one of these ships, but a hundred of them. The deterrence they brought was definitely not just any ordinary kind of threat. At the very least, Zheng He's ship wouldn't be able to last more than a few rounds against the Scarlet Army. It would be completely destroyed.
They were just that powerful.
Wu Yong waved his feather fan, changed his tone, and said, "Young Master Zheng, I wonder if there is a sea map of the surrounding seas in Coconut King City? If there is, I hope we can trade a copy. We will pay the corresponding price."
Since they couldn't find the pirates, they could only settle for the next best thing, which was to find the corresponding sea chart and make preparations for entering the Caribbean Sea in the future.
"There is indeed a sea chart. However, it is only for the nearby area. Whether it is accurate or not will require the General to personally verify it." Zheng Chenggong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He already had a premonition that the Caribbean Sea was already in Da Yi's sights. If they didn't make a move now, they would make a move sooner or later. At that time, it wouldn't just be an army, but a force like a tsunami.
If they didn't submit, they would die.
In this process, there was no second possibility.
However, since they had the sea chart, they naturally couldn't refuse it.
Then, after a friendly exchange, they collected a batch of all kinds of coconuts on Coconut King Island. They even gave a few saplings of coconut trees. Of course, Wu Yong and the others didn't take it for free. They paid for it with a considerable amount of Eternal Coins.
After seeing the astonishing number of Eternal Coins, many people's eyes were filled with golden light. The impact was also huge. The Pirate Gold Coins couldn't compare to the Eternal Coins at all, whether it was in terms of beauty or value.
Seeing the Scarlet Army gradually leave.
Zheng Chenggong held an Eternal Coin in his hand, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. "The Eternal Coin is indeed the Eternal Coin. It is indeed worthy of being the only currency recognized by heaven and earth. This Pirate Gold Coin can't be compared. The gap is too big. "
In his hand, in addition to the Eternal Coin, one could also see a golden Pirate Gold Coin. On one side of the Pirate Gold Coin, there was a ferocious pattern of a skull, indicating the identity of a pirate. On the other side, there was a pirate ship. The origin of the Pirate Gold Coin was clearly marked.
However, don't be fooled by its rough and frightening appearance. In essence, it was also able to amplify one's strength by three times, and was circulated throughout the Caribbean Sea. Furthermore, it was said that this Pirate Gold Coin possessed a kind of demonic power. Once one absorbed and refined too much of it, it would cause one's temperament to become impulsive, violent, and even descend into madness, ultimately becoming a pirate. Now, pirates were rampant in the Caribbean Sea because a large number of creatures absorbed the Pirate Gold Coins every day. Eventually, their temperament was affected, and they chose to become pirates.
As for whether it was true or not, no one could confirm it.
However, many large forces were secretly curbing the circulation of Pirate Gold Coins. They thought of ways to issue their own currencies. Even if they directly cast crystal coins, they wouldn't easily allow the circulation of Pirate Gold Coins. For example, in the Coconut King City, they had also found a way to cast a coin called the Coconut King Coin. The amplification was not high, only two times, but it was still not bad. However, it could not compare to the Pirate Gold Coin, nor could it compare to the Eternal Coin.
It could be seen that the surrounding fishermen were all very fond of the Eternal Coin. When they held it in their hands, they couldn't bear to part with it. Obviously, between the Pirate Gold Coin and the Eternal Coin, the Pirate Gold Coin was completely defeated. It was completely abandoned.
"Father went to participate in the pirate gathering. I don't know if there will be any changes this time. I'm afraid that the Pirate Alliance won't last long." Zheng Chenggong's eyes flashed with seriousness. The family's fleet was a big hidden danger. If the Great Yi Dynasty entered the Caribbean Sea, then the Zheng Family would first have to face the choice of faction. To become pirates or to become good citizens, this was a choice that they had no choice but to face.
This decision could only be made by Zheng Zhilong.
This concerned the future and life and death of the entire Zheng Family.
He'd only heard of Da Yi before, but now that he'd seen it with his own eyes, he understood how powerful Da Yi was. If he wasn't mistaken, even the most ordinary of the soldiers on the sky ships had reached the Transcendence Realm. From what he'd seen just now, there were at least a million soldiers, all of them at the Transcendence Realm or above. This was a terrifying force. If they wanted to, they could completely crush and destroy Coconut King Island.
.....
After leaving Coconut King Island, Gan Ning and Wu Yong both had serious expressions on their faces.
"This Zheng Family is not simple. Zheng Chenggong's cultivation has reached the Transcendence Realm, so his father must be even more powerful. I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before," Gan Ning said with a slight frown.
"Let's not talk about the Zheng Family's background for now. I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve our previous goal in coming to the Caribbean Sea. The pirates are all in the Pirate Alliance. If we can't find a way to get there, then we can only maintain the status quo. However, this will be very useful for gathering information about the Caribbean Sea. At least we won't have to worry about pirates disturbing our plans, "Wu Yong said with a smile.
There were gains and losses. Everything was relative.
Now that they couldn't attack the pirates, they had to settle for the next best thing. Drawing up a detailed sea map was also a great achievement. Bringing it back would be a great achievement.
"Mn. However, during this process, we must still find a way to reach the Pirate Alliance. This general believes that it is impossible for the Pirate Alliance to only have a single method to enter and exit the Pirate Alliance. There must be other methods. Only by finding them will we be able to completely exterminate the pirates. Otherwise, even if we manage to exterminate a portion of them, the rest will remain hidden and will rise again in the future. That's not good for Da Yi's rule. "
Gan Ning's eyes flashed with solemnity.
This was a pressure he hadn't felt before.
He'd thought that since the pirates were all on the surface, they could be easily exterminated even if they hid.
