At the moment Rorschach personally killed Woods Rogers, the British Governor of the Bahamas, appointed by King England, the tragic naval battle, which later generations called the "Battle of Nassau", was actually decided.

The Bristol, who had lost the commander of the fleet and the governor, was defeated by Rorschach alone, and was boarded by the crew of the Poseidon and seized the flagship of the British fleet.

The first thing to take down the Bristol was to lower the red flag of Britain and replace it with the black flag representing the pirates!

Seeing this scene, the pirate camp was filled with morale.

The sounds of pirates shouting slogans and waving arms in their hands became more powerful.

On the other side, watching his fleet flagship be seized and the morale of the entire British fleet was greatly damaged, and he was immediately trapped in chaos without a leader.

The captains of each warship didn't know what to do.

Whether to continue fighting or turn around and run away, their lack of unification has further aggravated the command disorder of the entire fleet.

Some warships began to turn the bow and began to flee; some warships continued to fight fiercely with the pirate ships around them.

However, as time went by, they realized that there were more and more pirate ships besieging them!

Soon, huge British warships were flooded by pirate ships like desperate prey surrounded by wolves...

This huge naval battle lasted for six hours.

It was not until 6:00 p.m. that the deafening sound of cannon finally stopped.

But the smoke of gunpowder and the thick smell of gunpowder still enveloped the entire sea area.

Blood stained the sea red, and many warships with British flags were still burning.

In the end, the Pirate Republic defeated the invading British fleet at the cost of eighty sailboats and more than one thousand people.

Twelve frigates and battleships were sunk.

All the remaining warships were captured.

There were more than 1,000 soldiers killed, and there were as many as 4,000 soldiers captured!

It is worth mentioning that Rorschach personally killed the fleet commander and the governor of the Bahamas.

And Edward Kenway, the captain of the Jackdaw, was not to be outdone, and killed Honigold, the pirate traitor!

To some extent, it can be considered to be a consolidation of the original world line.

After the war, Rorschach returned successfully on the flagship of the British fleet, the Bristol, and drove into the port of Nassau.

When he walked down from the boat and stepped firmly on the pier, the pier was already filled with pirates and the people of Nassau.

Looking around, his eyes flashed across his faces full of expectations. Rorschach raised his chin and stepped onto a wooden box, raising his arms and shouting:

"We got a great victory, guys!!"

"Cheer so much!!!"

The next second, the cheers of the pirates resounded throughout Nassau, the entire Bahamas, and even the entire sea!

...

The ending of the Battle of Nassau was quickly passed back to the British and spread throughout Europe.

The British had only one idea about this defeat: unbelievable, capital shock.

They did not expect that the British did not lose to the European hegemony France, nor did they fall under the cavalry of the Russian Tsar, but lost to the insignificant pirates!

King George, who had not ruled at home for a long time and the Congress were controversial, had no choice but to find someone to take the blame.

Robert Walpole, who recommended Rogers, was demoted and sent to Southeast Asia where birds do not shit.

The domestic naval generals were clamoring to form a huge fleet and to dare to challenge the authoritative pirate republic of Britain and eliminate it in one fell swoop!

However, the British King and Congress could not give a positive answer to the surging naval soldiers.

You know, there are as many as 4,000 prisoners in the hands of the pirates, so how could they go to war with them again?

Whether you can win is the same thing.

Once the pirates learn that Britain sent a fleet to attack him again, they will definitely kill the prisoners at hand.

These more than 4,000 British soldiers are precious resources and involve more than 4,000 British families.

Besides, once the fleets from all over the country are transferred back to compete with the Pirate Republic, Britain will not be able to guarantee the power of each colony, and the loss will only be greater if it loses the interests of the colony.

Finally, after an urgent meeting, the British made a decision.

In order to redeem captured British soldiers from the pirates and to regain the people's trust in the government, the British sent diplomatic envoys to conduct peace talks with the pirate republic.

Rorschach agreed with the conditions for the British to redeem the prisoners.

However, he put forward a condition:

Britain must recognize the national status and independence of the Pirate Republic, and within two years, it cannot launch a war against the Pirate Republic.

Only after agreeing to these conditions will more than 4,000 British soldiers be released in batches.

Things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield are of course not available at the negotiating table.

At an already disadvantage, no matter how the British negotiate, they cannot change the harsh terms.

In the end, under the urging of the pirates, the British had to accept unacceptable conditions.

Two weeks later, June 8, 1717.

Representatives of the United Kingdom and the Pirate Republic signed the Nassau Treaty that has been recorded in history in the Castle of Liberty in Nassau.

The two sides ceased to fight, and the British envoys returned to London to report their lives with the first released prisoners.

The war between the British and the Pirate Republic came to an end.

However, the huge impact of this naval battle that defeats the strong by weak has not ended...

In the historical records of later generations, many historians believe that the Battle of Nassau became a historical turning point in the Pirate Republic.

After this battle, the Pirate Republic exerted the majesty of pirates and also defeated the British who vaguely became the overlord of the sea.

Such brilliant results made European countries look at each other and began to face this country composed of pirates.

Soon, the French, who regarded the British as their enemy, came to the door first.

Louis XIV sent an envoy to Rorschach and proposed a very attractive condition - the Alliance!

The grudge between the French and the British has not been around for a day or two.

After the Spanish throne inherited the war, the French navy was almost completely destroyed. Seeing the British growing and growing through maritime trade, they urgently needed an ally at sea to suppress the British.

With multiple friends, few enemies and the idea of ​​taking the needs of each, Rorschach agreed to the French.

The two countries hit it off and signed a covenant.

France will guarantee the independence of the pirate republic, which cannot attack French ships and fight side by side with France.

After gaining recognition from Britain and France as a powerful ally, the Pirate Republic has truly become an independent country from one side!
