It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I left the Governor's Mansion alone.

The night is low, but the taverns and brothels in Havana are brightly lit and lively.

As soon as I returned to the tavern, I found that the crew of the Poseidon were gathered in the hall on the first floor, drinking hot.

A glass of rum was just brought up by the waitress and it was divided up and poured into the crew's throats.

The two crew members, naked, danced unscrupulously in the tavern hall.

The lively and unrestrained scenes are in sharp contrast with the riots in the Governor’s mansion…

Big O'Neal, holding a wine glass and clinking glasses with Little O'Neal, felt a breeze passing by, and heard Little O'Neal sitting opposite him and said:

"captain."

Looking in the sound, seeing Rorschach, who was supposed to be attending the upper dance party, suddenly appeared in the tavern. Big O'Neal was obviously a little surprised, "Captain? Didn't you go to the masquerade party?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he found his captain's left arm, which was bandaged, and frowned.

"You're injured? What happened?"

"Nothing, it's just a little mess..."

Next, Rorschach, who was seated, told the O'Neal brothers what happened at the dance.

Of course, he did not inform the other party that he was injured by intentional measures to protect Torres, but because he was unlucky, he was right next to Torres, so he was regarded as Torres's subordinate by the assassin.

However, Rorschach was not wrong.

After all, before he went to the dance, he didn't know that the assassin would suddenly assassinate Torres.

Moreover, it happened to be the time when he was talking to Torres.

All I can say is that things come too quickly, like a tornado, caught people off guard!

However, it is not entirely unlucky to say that it is unlucky.

It was also because of the assassin's attack that Rorschach was given a great opportunity to use his bitter plan and win Torres' trust.

At the same time, it is not impossible for him to be targeted by the Assassin Brotherhood for this.

As the saying goes, good fortune is hidden by misfortune, and bad fortune is relied upon.

Everything in the world is so unpredictable...

...

The next day.

The first thing Rorschach did after getting up was to go to the market in Havana to buy three healthy and cute sheep, then find an uninhabited beach, cut their throats with his own hands, and collect the fresh hot sheep blood in a wooden barrel.

After absorbing most of the bucket of fresh sheep blood, the injury on the left arm recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye and finally became as good as before.

Of course, in order to cover up, Rorschach's left arm was still wrapped with a bandage.

He doesn't want others to know that he can quickly recover from his injuries by absorbing blood...

As for the remaining lamb, he sent it to the restaurant, and gave the crew a big roast lamb meal to reward them:

Two burly chefs sat next to the makeshift grill and used a knife to cut the grilled lamb skewed onto the iron rod and put it on a plate.

The waitress took the steaming lamb to the table and was snatched away!

Seeing the crew members unable to wait to pick up the mutton with their hands and stuff it into their mouths, Rorschach smiled helplessly, then turned to look at Big O'Neal beside him and asked casually:

"Why do they all seem to be eating?"

"Captain, you don't know how unpleasant the dish that guy Johnson cooks is. How can you resist it now with such a big meal?"

Johnson was one of the crew members and the makeshift chef of the Poseidon.

Why is it temporary? It is because all pirates know nothing about cooking skills, so he is the only one who has been a chef on a certain pirate ship.

However, it was just a duck to be put on the shelves. In addition to the good potatoes, his cooking skills also just crossed the critical line of "eating".

Sailing on the sea, food is important.

A good chef on board can make the crew eat red and rob and get more energy.

As soon as these words came out, Rorschach couldn't help but think of the beans stewed pickles that he had eaten on the boat, and he was relieved: "That's true."

"I've thought that after we arrive in Nassau, we must find a cook who is skilled and an experienced helmsman!"

Nodding and approving the suggestion of the quartermaster, Rorschach used a wooden fork to raise a piece of roasted lamb spine and put it in his mouth.

While chewing the mutton full of energy, he did not forget to ask about the progress of the sales of the goods, "By the way, how is the goods? Are everything going well?"

As if he had expected Rorschach to ask, O'Neal immediately nodded and replied:

"It went well. I guessed that after replenishing food and water, enough rum, and sharing the share for everyone, there should be about 10,000 pesos left."

"Although this money is not much, it can still provide us with a stake when recruiting crew members."

After saying that, O'Neal suddenly approached Rorschach and said in a low voice:

"He also told me that recently an Indian Ocean trade ship heading to Spain was not gold and silver treasures, but was filled with spices."

"And, I heard that there is only one frigate for escorts, we may be able to attack it!"

In addition to squatting on trade routes or certain throat waters and waiting for prey, pirates also have another way, which is to rob specific targets through the information provided by the inside line.

Since ancient times, pirates have been a combination of pirates and merchants.

The pirate does not have the four big words "I am a pirate" engraved on his forehead.

Under normal circumstances, pirate ships are no different from ordinary merchant ships.

If a pirate is wanted or even a portrait is covered with major ports, just like a Blackbeard, it will be basically very famous and very dangerous.

No matter how pirates their own concept of freedom, they cannot change the fact that they must rely on land to survive.

Replenishment and ship repairs need to be provided on land, and the stolen goods must also be cashed on land.

Therefore, for the sake of interests, the pirates who were willing to act on the sea slowly became involved with some desperate merchants on the land.

Merchants secretly provide pirates with information about valuable targets, and then pirates can accurately track and hunt, and carry out low-risk robberies.

After the robbery is completed, the goods stolen by the pirates are sold through the relationship of merchants and then divided into shares.

Mutual benefit and mutual assistance form a subtle cooperative relationship, just like Big O'Neal and his businessman friends.

This is a win-win situation and one of the reasons why pirates in the Great Triangle Trade Zone have been rampant and difficult to completely eradicate.

Money is always the most crazy thing...
