Chapter 856 Congratulations to Hao Shuai for being elected as the Pirate King with a 'high vote'~~
When Babos said that only the pirate emperor had the right to declare war, Jack, as the flatterer arranged by Hao Shuai, immediately stood up and said, "You made this up, right?"
"Did I make this up? Captain Teague, please." Barbossa announced loudly, "I need the supervisor of the code to explain."
As the legendary pirate responsible for guarding the Pirate Code - Teague Sparrow appeared on the scene, the pirate kings sitting there immediately became silent and all sat down quietly.
"It seems like this old man has something~~ not only can he guard the pirate code, but he can also make all the pirate kings so afraid."
At this time, Hao Shuai also looked curiously at this retired pirate king who was wearing a gorgeous red captain's uniform, smoky makeup, and a braided beard. He looked exactly like Jack. He was also Jack Sparrow's father.
The only person in the world who can calm down Jack who is running away.
With the appearance of Teague Sparrow, a huge codex was carried up.
Teague Sparrow opened and rummaged skillfully, and finally pointed to a line in the code and said loudly: "Barbossa is right, the pirate emperor's responsibilities include declaring war with foreign countries and negotiating with common enemies."
Seeing that the legality of the election of the Pirate Emperor has been legally determined, Barbossa jumped out at the right time and said: "Now, according to the code, the voting for the Pirate Emperor begins, and he will decide whether to fight or negotiate with the East India Company."
As Hao Shuai expected, when it came to the last Barbossa, all the pirate kings chose to vote for themselves without hesitation, including Hao Shuai, who also voted for himself.
Seeing this, the other seven pirate kings have already prepared for the second round of voting. After all, they know that Barbossa is cunning, cunning, and mercenary, and he will definitely vote for them.
But beyond their expectations, Barbosa stood up with a strange smile on his face: "I vote for Hao Shuai."
Then Barbossa, who was a loser, quickly announced the result after voting: "Hao Shuai won with a total of two votes. According to the Pirate Code, Captain Hao Shuai will become the second pirate king~~~"
"ha?!"
After a brief silence, the conference hall exploded again, and there might be another fight at any time.
An unknown pretty boy suddenly sat on their heads. All the pirate kings could not accept this fact.
Only Hao Shuai still sat there calmly and unmoved. After all, Hao Shuai had already decided on the position of Pirate King before the voting started.
"Quiet~~Don't you plan to abide by the code?" Barbossa asked loudly.
"Boom~"
The strings Teague was playing suddenly broke, and the harsh sound shocked everyone present.
Teague raised his head with a gloomy expression and glanced at the Pirate King present. Everyone he looked at subconsciously shrank their bodies and slowly sat back in their seats.
Mrs. Qing, who had already seen the formality clearly, followed the topic and asked Hao Shuai: "So, pirate emperor Hao Shuai, what orders do you want to give?"
Hao Shuai stood up and said seriously: "A few pirate kings will stay here for a while, while the others will go back and prepare the ship's ammunition and set sail at any time for a decisive battle with the East India Company!"
half an hour later
"Boss, go slow!"*9
The nine pirate kings bowed and sent Hao Shuai away with admiration in their eyes. They didn't straighten up until Hao Shuai disappeared.
It’s hard to believe that the pirate who was unruly and unruly a moment ago would be so well-behaved at this moment~~
Without him~~
Just brainwashed.
There is no way, even if Hao Shuai is now elected as the Pirate Emperor with a "high vote", but the so-called Pirate Emperor, that is, the name sounds very loud, but in fact it is only a nominal identity.
To be realistic, despite the fact that the seven pirate kings have vowed to fight against the East India Company together, when they actually go to the battlefield and see the huge fleet of the East India Company, believe it or not, these people can do something in a matter of minutes.
Escape before fighting.
After all, you can’t expect to be principled and polite with a group of pirates~~
And the reason why Hao Shuai is so interested in this pirate king even though he knows it is an empty title is for no other reason than being a second grader!
It’s a waste of youth if you don’t hit the target!!
Hao Shuai feels that he is still a young man, so it is normal for him to get hit once or twice from time to time!
Anyway, with Hao Shuai's strength, it would be easy to destroy the East India Company's fleet, whether with or without the help of other pirates.
…
Three days flew by~~
Early that morning, Hao Shuai, who was having breakfast, received news from the pirates in charge of perimeter security that the East India Company's fleet had arrived at the perimeter of Shipwreck Bay.
When the news spread throughout the Shipwreck Island, even after three days of preparations, the Shipwreck Port was like a pot of boiling water exploding, and many pirates who were not fully clothed rushed out from their resting places.
Then they all rushed to their ships.
As the sun rises, the thick fog on the sea gradually disperses. At this time, outside the Shipwreck Bay, countless white sails are fluttering in the wind on the sea in the distance, like white clouds, and densely packed sail warships are arranged in an orderly manner according to the military formation.
They are arranged like a leading lion, standing proudly on the sea.
In the Shipwreck Bay, after the initial panic, the three days of training were finally not in vain. Countless ships loaded with ammunition left the Shipwreck Bay one after another and gathered outside the Shipwreck Bay.
Although there are many kinds of flags (there is no time to change the flags), the pirates have different faces, and the ships are large and small, but there are more than 50 sailboats in total, which is definitely a maritime force that cannot be ignored.
The pirates on their own side looked at the fleet lined up and felt that with their strong troops and horses, they would be able to beat the shit out of the East India Company~~
"Poor pirates, it's a good thing they can't see clearly the situation of the East India Fleet in the distance, otherwise they might have mutinied." Looking at the complacent pirates, Hao Shuai thought to himself.
To be honest, if he wasn't capable of cheating, Hao Shuai would have run away without saying a word when faced with this situation.
After all, the East India Company across the street, in order to end the war once and for all, sent more than 100 battleships, including three or four first-class battleships, more than a dozen second-class battleships, and the rest were centered on third-class battleships.
It can be said that this ultra-luxurious lineup represents the most powerful armada of this era, and only Great Britain, the maritime overlord, can assemble it.
"What a bastard the East India Company is! They just fought pirates, but they actually transferred half of the Great Eagle Empire's fleet." Hao Shuai despised the integrity of the Great Eagle Empire.
As the fleets of both sides continued to get closer, the situation of the other side's fleet was finally seen clearly by the pirates. In an instant, the pirates stopped and their morale dropped to freezing point.
Even optimistic pirates know that there is a huge difference in strength between the enemy and ours. If we rush forward like this, we are simply giving away people to deal with it and consuming some of the opponent's ammunition along the way.
It’s not that the pirates didn’t want to turn around and run away, but they were experienced and knew that turning around at this time would only make them targets and die faster...
