Chapter 170 The New Era of Nassau!
After ensuring that Blackbeard and Edward would stand on their side, Rorschach immediately convened a captain's meeting.
At 8 o'clock that night, it was located in a house east of Nassau town.
In the renovated spacious hall, there is only a large long table and thirteen seats.
In addition, four seats are placed beside the walls on both sides.
At this moment, the hall was full.
A total of twenty-one people here, that is, all the pirate captains who swore allegiance to the Pirate Alliance, were all here.
In the hall, no one spoke.
Some people lower their heads and look meditative; some people have their eyes floating around, as if
Honeygold, sitting in the main seat, also felt the inexplicable solemn atmosphere, and took the lead in breaking the silence:
"Mr. Bellamy, is there anything wrong with you asking for a captain's meeting?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Samuel Bellamy, who was sitting on the third place on the left side of the long table, slowly stood up.
"Good evening, gentlemen."
After giving a noble ceremony to everyone, he said straight to the point:
"I proposed to hold a captain's meeting because I have an important proposal about the future of Nassau, and I hope everyone will vote!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Honigold was a little stunned.
Then, he immediately noticed that almost everyone present had responded carefully to Bellamy's words.
With a frown, Honigold asked immediately:
"Oh, what is that?"
Clearing his throat, Bellamy's eyes froze and said loudly:
"I hope to remove Benjamin Honigold's Pirates League leader!"
As soon as these words came out, Honeygold was shocked and turned his head and looked at Rorschach, who was sitting first on the right!
He knew very well that Bellamy was a member of Rorschach's fleet, but he was from.
Without Rorschach's instruction, Bellamy would never have made such a proposal!
However, when he saw Rorschach's calm and comfortable appearance, Honigold immediately understood something.
What shocked him even more was that it seemed that the other captains had known about this proposal, and there was no trace of surprise on their faces.
Even the two captains who had been standing on his side did not naturally avoid his eyes.
In other words, except him, everyone else has already reached some kind of deal in secret.
Thinking of this, Honeygold pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He just looked at Rorschach and asked, "Is this your idea?"
The latter shook his head and replied lightly:
"No, it's everyone's idea...Honegold, we all think that you can't lead Nassau to move forward now."
Hearing this, Honeygold then turned his head and looked at the black beard on the left and Edward next to him, and asked:
"Sachi, Kenway, do you think so?"
Facing the old guy's expectant look, Blackbeard had a solemn expression and said word by word:
"Ben, I have told you that we are pirates and the last free men. But you think we can only let the King of England feel pity for us at the expense of keeping a low profile and not causing trouble, and not sending a fleet to destroy us."
"You underestimated us and underestimated Nassau..."
Edward, who was standing by, just shrugged, "Sorry, Hornigold, your rules are outdated, it's time to make a change..."
Hearing this, Honigold opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Bellamy spoke again:
“Vote now.”
"If you agree to remove Benjamin Hornigold, raise your hand. If you don't agree to remove Benjamin Hornigold, don't raise your hand."
After saying that, Bellamy raised his hand first.
Under Honeygold's gaze, all the captains present, except him, raised their hands one after another.
The voting results are clear at a glance.
Bellamy then raised her hand and said loudly:
"The vote ends, twenty-on-one. I now announce that Benjamin Hornigold will no longer serve as the leader of the Pirate Republic and the Pirate Alliance from now on!"
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Hornigold was not in the mood to continue to stay here, allowing these former companions to watch their jokes.
"You will regret it!"
After leaving such a harsh word, he stood up in anger and strode away from the hall.
No one cares about the wailing of the loser...
With Rorschach's eyes prompted, Bellamy then opened her arms and suddenly raised her tone:
"Now! Gentlemen, we need to make a decision."
“We need a new leader, a bolder and tougher leader, to lead us to fight for Nassau.”
"So, I recommend Captain Rorschach to become the new leader of the Pirates League!"
"You have other candidates or those who plan to recommend themselves, you can also raise them..."
However, no one was bored with this almost-definite appointment.
Even the voting process that represents democracy is just a formality.
So, under the unanimous vote, Rorschach became the new leader of the Pirates League with justification!
After taking office, Rorschach immediately announced several reforms after becoming the leader.
First, the rule that Honeygold is not allowed to attack British ships was abolished.
Then, the official establishment of the Parliament of the Pirate Republic!
There are 21 seats in the Pirates' Parliament, and Rorschach himself serves as the Speaker, and everyone present will become members of parliament.
The Parliament will lead the entire pirate republic in a relatively fair and democratic form.
Immediately afterwards, the Code of the Republic was formulated, and all pirates must contribute to the construction of Nassau.
When the pirates arrived at Nassau, they had to hand over some of the stolen goods to the Republic for the construction of coastal defense and development of towns.
In exchange, the Republic will also provide pirates with opportunities to make money, such as helping pirates sell stolen goods at a more favorable price; forming an Indian Ocean fleet, robbing merchant ships returning to Europe in the Indian Ocean, etc.
Finally, it is to improve the town of Nassau
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Hornigold was not in the mood to continue to stay here, allowing these former companions to watch their jokes.
"You will regret it!"
After leaving such a harsh word, he stood up in anger and strode away from the hall.
