It was officially May.
The New Continent welcomed the first large-scale storm of the summer this year.
When the violent hurricane from the Black Sea carried a huge amount of rain and attacked half of the eastern shore of the New Continent. Amidst the lightning and thunder, a shocking piece of news exploded in the Golden Sea that was already in a state of turmoil.
Rumble …
Whoosh …
The great power of the natural weather had already ruled the sea.
In the Golden Sea, there was a rather large pirate port called Coconut Tree Harbor. It was filled with various ships that were sheltering from the storm.
The noisy "gin tavern" on the island and the thunderstorm outside formed two different worlds.
There were pirates of all sizes, smugglers, and Sea Hunters that roamed the Black Sea … All kinds of people gathered here, and of course, they brought the latest news from all sides.
At this moment.
Two Creole girls in colorful dresses finished a seductive and explicit dance, causing the atmosphere in the tavern to explode.
They swayed their charming and slender waists as they walked along the narrow aisle in the middle of the pirates and returned backstage. They didn't avoid the perverted hands that reached out on the way, and they even flirted with those they were familiar with.
"Hehehe …"
"Jenny, wait for me to look for you tonight! Hahaha … "
Clearly, in this pirate port, their occupation wasn't as simple as being dancers.
The women here were like catalysts. Amidst the subtle teasing, the group of pirates who didn't know how long it would take for them to get on land had their hormones exploding.
Their actions of taking out money were particularly forthright, and even their alcohol tolerance and voices were much louder.
Of course, the topics of conversation among the pirates were women, alcohol, and … treasures!
"Aha! Old Sam's gin is still the best! "
A group of Sea Hunters who didn't look any better than the pirates were chatting together. A middle-aged man with reddish-black skin that was as rough as a rock exhaled a breath that reeked of alcohol.
Then, he said mysteriously to a group of his peers, "That's right.
"Hey! My friends, have you heard?
Treasure Hunter Dwayne Jones found a complete temple dedicated to the Sun God, Indi, in the Cortilla Mountains in the southern part of the New Continent.
It's said that there are countless treasures left behind by the Cortilla Empire! "
After attracting the attention of everyone at the table, he continued to speak.
"But when Dwayne Jones joined forces with a few explorers to conduct a preliminary exploration, the news was leaked and they were caught red-handed by Shilius's regular army.
Soon after, in the Chaotic Region not far from there, a large number of Kashna survivors also joined in.
Right now, several groups of people are killing each other in the primeval forests in the south! "
The middle-aged Sea Hunter was looking forward to the shocked expressions of his peers when they heard the secret, but he did not expect that someone among them did not buy it at all.
"Webb, how long has it been since you went ashore? The news was already outdated!
I heard that Dawn Jones had already received the Golden Crown of Kashina Emperor from the temple and had already left the New World by ship. "
His deskmates chimed in one after another.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … This is the crown of an empire!
Although the country had been completely destroyed, if he could bring this treasure back to the mainland, it wouldn't be a problem to exchange it for a baron title with the king, right?
After becoming a noble, who would want to be a Sea Hunter? Why don't we have such good luck? "
While the group of people was endlessly envious of the outstanding Sea Hunter Dwayne Jones, a pirate at the table beside them suddenly sneered.
"What's the use of the tattered crown of a native country other than looking good? Is this even considered a treasure? What a bunch of country bumpkins who haven't seen the world! "
Before the group of Sea Hunters opposite them turned their heads, they were about to flip out.
The pirate leader, who was sitting at the head of the table, had a floral headscarf wrapped around his head and a metal hook in his left hand. He raised his wine cup and drank a mouthful of amber-colored rum before leisurely saying.
"Haven't you heard of the news that the great pirate 'White Knight' had plundered Shilius' Golden Courier?"
"Shilius' Golden Courier?! The gold and silver that only ships twice a year in the New World's west coast colony?
The origin of the name 'Golden Sea'? It was plundered? "
Before the Sea Hunters could vent their anger, they were stunned by this news. They looked at each other in dismay and almost couldn't believe their ears.
As a member of the pirates, Hook Hand naturally had a head. He believed from the bottom of his heart that pirates were naturally superior to Sea Hunters. He was fascinated by the glory.
"Compared to Dwayne Jones who fled with his tail between his legs in front of Shilius's regular army with a treasure, White Knight Dwayne Jones is the White Knight of Shilius.
The great pirate 'White Knight' is a pirate hero who wiped out Shilius's treasure-transporting guards and plundered all the gold and silver that they transported with a total value of nearly a hundred thousand gold lions!
This time, he gave the Shilius a ruthless slap in the face. It's simply too satisfying! "
When the red-faced middle-aged Sea Hunter heard that number, he shook his head violently, almost thinking that he had misheard. He dug his ears and asked his friend beside him, "A total value of a hundred thousand?! How much does Kashna's Golden Crown weigh? "
"It's said to be 3.5 kilograms."
To these extremely realistic Sea Hunters, compared to a mere symbolic crown, the heavy weight of real gold and silver was naturally more shocking.
"You … You're not bragging, are you? Shilius's Golden Courier Road has never been plundered before! "
Without any evidence, of course there would be doubts.
Hook Hand, however, laughed indifferently. He glanced at the group of pirates on the other side of the bar from the corner of his eye.
"Hehe, Shilius has ruled the New World for nearly a hundred years. There's always a first for everything, and there will be more in the future.
Come, come, come. Let me show you what this is. Open your eyes! "
Dong!
He threw a gold bar that weighed one kilogram, which clearly belonged to Shilius's standard specifications, on the table.
The brilliant and noble light instantly attracted the attention of most people in the bar. To these criminals and potential criminals, nothing was more tempting than the luster of gold.
But when they saw the iconic iron hook of the pirate leader, they instantly suppressed their restless hearts.
"That's Iron Hook Brano, a pirate cadre under the command of Pirate King 'Undead Bones' Rudolph! It's actually him? "
Then, everyone's gaze shifted back to the gold bar on the table. To be more precise, the gold bar was branded with the eye-catching flame emblem of Shilius!
Hiss!
"God of Blackwing above! This is actually real! This is an unprecedented feat for the pirates of the Golden Seas! The Shilius' gold was really plundered, and it was spent directly! "
Gasps could be heard coming from the large group of pirates who were not well-informed.
"Say, even if the Shilius and Pirate King 'Oathbreaker' had been crazily plundering the colonies of the surrounding countries some time ago, would the total profits be able to make up for the losses this time?"
Someone in the crowd asked, and the bar instantly fell silent. Many people even secretly looked at a group of pirates wearing leather uniforms on the other side of the bar.
Whoosh!
Tables and chairs were pushed away.
A group of pirates who were more or less wearing crowned skulls and bloody scimitars stood up. They glanced at the crowd in the bar with gloomy faces, silently pushed open the door, and walked into the storm.
"Hahaha, these Shilius lackeys who have abandoned the dreams and integrity of pirates are getting anxious. Go find your master and wag your tails! "
Behind them, only Iron Hook Brano's laughter could be heard.
The subordinates of the two Pirate Kings of the Golden Seas had never been on good terms. Although they tried their best to avoid direct conflict, now that there was an opportunity to mock each other, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
"By the way, do you think this famous White Knight will be recruiting people next?"
The eyes of the pirates in the bar instantly lit up, as though they had seen an opportunity to turn their lives around!
It wasn't just Coconut Tree Harbor. Many people in the private pirate ports of various sizes in the Golden Seas, and even in Shipwreck Bay in the Fog Sea, were getting restless.
.....
If this shocking news were to be spread among the pirate community, it might just be an excellent topic of conversation that wouldn't go away for a long time.
After all, in this plunder and the previous few disturbances, apart from the Oathbreaker's faction, most pirates didn't feel the pain.
But at the national level, it was like a magnitude 12 earthquake that swept through the colonies of all the countries in the New World.
Among them, the victim, Shilius, who had suffered the most losses, was the most affected. To them, this incident wasn't much better than the sky collapsing.
As the center of Shilius's New World defense force, Navidad Castle had been shrouded in a layer of low pressure for the past few days, as though the center of a storm was here.
Bang!
The successive accidents made Admiral Triviere's face as cold as granite. His gaze swept across the high-ranking officers under him like a sharp knife as he slammed his palm on the conference table.
"Bastard! These lawless pirates can't wait for the whole world to know of their glorious achievements.
The morale of the troops, which had been calmed by the promise of sufficient pay, is now in chaos again. They deserve to die!
Who exactly is this great pirate White Knight? Even now, no one knows! Vice King Flavio of the New Shilius has been urging us several times, and his words are getting harsher and harsher. "
He slammed the sword in his hand and looked at an officer in the room.
"The escort fleet has been destroyed, and the naval forces are already stretched thin.
Herald, inform 'Oathbreaker' Bradley. Use the eyes and ears of the pirates to ferret out that audacious bastard as soon as possible.
Also … speed up the looting and make up for the losses. That's all! "
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
As the incident gradually spread.
At first, people from other countries were still skeptical. They didn't know where this White Knight came from, and whether the looting was real.
But as a small portion of the gold bars were purposely leaked by Elvin, and the gold bars with the flame emblem were circulated on the market, all doubts disappeared.
All the well-informed factions within the golden sea were instantly stirred up!
It also gave a shot of confidence to the newly formed Anti-Shilius Alliance. While they were envious, they all sped up their actions.
What happened next ignited the fire of the Tulip Alliance's thriving pirate business.
Because … the Tulip Alliance's maritime court accepted the White Knight's application and declared the huge amount of gold and silver as enemy goods. It was completely legal!
Despite the national policy of "acting and standing", Faletis's actions were still secretive.
But the small circulation of the verdict dispelled the last doubts of the "aspiring youths". It also made the "White Knight", who had obviously obtained the permission of his country to loot, a hero!
And just as they were about to rush to the New World.
The recruitment notice for the great pirate White Knight to establish a pirate crew also spread widely in certain circles. It became the first choice of the "aspiring youths" of the New World.
With a ferocious black dragon head as the insignia of the pirate crew, it was called the "Dragon Rider Pirate Crew"!
