World calendar year 668.
On the Onyx Ocean, the destruction of the Insman Armada marks the rise of a new generation of pirate kings.
"Dear Pirate King! According to the news from the Pirate King City, they have successfully breached the Solomon Strait and bombarded the Norton formation that wanted to rest ashore... From now on, there will no longer be Insman's navy in the Golden Sea. So powerful!"
Pirate Prince Edward bowed in front of Fang Yuan and said in a humble tone: "And... all the privateer captains who surrendered before have been brought here."
Pirates were originally a group of creatures without loyalty. Seeing how powerful the pirates were at this time, there were many privateer captains who sold Insman's navy as soon as they turned around.
"See you, great pirate king!"
"You are the master of pirates and the master of the royal city!"
Immediately, a group of miscellaneous pirate captains were escorted forward, their tone of voice was humble and respectful, and some of them directly offered things in front of Fang Yuan.
Conventionally, this is a sign of surrender for pirates.
Among these people, Orlando suddenly appeared. Looking at the trickster Roach surrounded by many pirates, he didn't know what to feel in his heart.
Although he had thoughts of revenge before, he was almost disheartened after seeing Fang Yuan's power today.
At this time, there was nothing different from other captains.
He knew even more clearly in his heart that the mission of revenge would never be completed again.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
"The biggest nail in the Golden Sea, the Solomon Strait, has been removed by us. The next thing to do is to pursue the victory and seize the Nightmare Sea in one go, and even hit the offshore to threaten Insman's homeland!"
Fang Yuan lay lazily on the throne, squinting his eyes slightly: "Of course, the first thing to do is to prepare our fleet first!"
He did not mention his direct lineage at this time. He also had four pirate governors under his command. Their relationships were mixed. To say that the orders were unclear and the management was chaotic would be an understatement.
"So... first, I will compile a code. Although we pirates are known for doing whatever we want, there are also some internal rules. What I have to do at this time is to fix these rules and turn them into a code that belongs to us. The code is called the "Pirate Code"!"
In a world where the forces of order ultimately prevail.
After saying this, Fang Yuan suddenly felt the drastic changes in the world.
In an instant, countless eyes were cast on him, most of them were the evil gods who had just escaped.
They were all existences equivalent to the level of demon lords and demons. They were attracted by the news of the destruction of Insman's invincible steel navy. At this time, one wave after another was concentrated on Fang Yuan.
"Evil God? Haha..."
Fang Yuan waved his hand gently, and a translucent water film opened, immediately isolating the flagship from the surroundings.
"Did the changes in the world attract the attention of those evil gods?"
He smiled, but didn't care at all.
How could a group of lingering creatures be his opponent
Not to mention, taking advantage of this golden period, he has conquered the world and sent his biggest opponent, Insman's Royal Navy, to hell.
Even if Insman cooperates with the evil god to gain the power to challenge Fang Yuan on the sea, it will not happen overnight.
What's more, those evil gods are simply a collection of chaos, and they may not even have human thoughts.
Some, like the Deep Sea Periphers, only focus on creating fear, chaos, and death in the human kingdom in order to accumulate strength. It's a damn thing if the two sides can come to terms with each other.
"Pirates are originally disordered, but they must be restrained by a code!"
Fang Yuan stood up and said loudly: "From today on, the "Pirate Code" I promulgated is the supreme code for all pirates. If anyone violates it, in the name of my pirate king, Roach, I will hunt him down to the ends of the earth!"
"The Pirate Code?"
Orlando below couldn't help but be shocked by Fang Yuan's plan.
The other party has long since given up on petty fighting, and doesn't even look down on recruitment, because he wants his own rules to become the rules of all pirates from now on!
It has to be said that there is only Fang Yuan, the pirate king.
Otherwise, even if a pirate governor comes over, he will most likely be laughed at.
Pirates advocate freedom. Even if Fang Yuan now wants to organize them into a large army, he is almost destined to fail. Even if he barely succeeds, he will be depleted and will not have much fighting power.
But the Pirate Code is different.
It is just a guideline, or steps to solve problems when encountering them. It is very beneficial to both the captain and the crew.
"This is my first draft, you pirate governors have a look!"
Fang Yuan picked up a roll of parchment and handed it over casually.
Aioris took it, spread it out and looked at it, and saw several paragraphs written on it in Continental, Insman, Dwarf, and Elf:
"Whenever a major decision is made on a ship, all crew members vote!"
"Those who steal, wound, and betray will be exiled to a desert island and receive a musket filled with gunpowder."
"For wealth distribution, the captain accounts for 30%, and each important position can get double..."
"It is forbidden to insult prisoners."
"Weapons must be kept clean, decks and cannons scrubbed daily."
"Private duels are prohibited, but public duels can be witnessed by the captain or first mate, and the format can be determined by negotiation between the two parties."
…
Contrary to their expectations, the treaty was simple and not harsh.
"Very good, I think we can do this!"
Edward nodded.
He originally thought that Roach would create a strict code and force the pirates to abide by it.
But now it looks more like fixing some conventional things in the form of documents, and the number of items is not many, simple and practical, which provides the basis for promotion.
"I have no opinion!"
"agree!"
After several pirate governors agreed, Bill, Butcher and other old subordinates would certainly not object and expressed their approval one after another.
With them, it is basically certain that this pirate code will be truly implemented and become the basis for resolving disputes and conflicts on the ocean.
"The Pirate Code? Maybe it will be called the Roach Code in the future..."
Orlando's heart trembled even more when he saw this scene.
Even though he is already the famous King of Hell in the Deep Sea, he is still nothing in front of the real Pirate King.
…
Insman.
"My Lord..."
Donald locked himself in a small room and prayed constantly.
In fact, he had been very uneasy since the flooded neighborhood incident.
Although the official definition was a sewer pipe accident, he naturally wouldn't believe it after seeing the fish-man monster.
In fact, after Fang Yuan's intentional or unintentional reminder, and after collecting more information through the church and interpersonal networks, Donald was really afraid.
There were accidents everywhere, with more than a hundred people killed and injured!
There are also various supernatural events, ghost sightings during the day, and even unprovoked madness, none of which are included in the Parsi incident.
Not to mention the increasingly rampant Sissel Flu, which is like the god of death, lingering over the continent, harvesting lives wantonly.
"...My Lord, please forgive my weakness...please grant your mercy and grant shelter to mankind..."
To be honest, the more he knew, the more doubtful Donald felt. At this time, he could only place his only hope on the Lord of the Dream Soldiers.
"My Lord... I am guilty, I have been shaken... "
Donald was kneeling, holding the religious emblem in his hand with a determined expression.
In fact, since he went to that house and saw the periscope mark drawn by Patsy, something felt wrong with him.
Even though he fled the house far away and never went back at all, for some reason, the emblem of an inverted triangle and a vertical eye appeared more and more clearly in front of Donald's eyes.
In the past few days, it has become more serious, every stroke is clear, and it seems to be seducing Donald to draw it accurately and clearly.
If Fang Yuan were here, he would be able to easily tell that Donald was "infected"!
After all, the Deep Sea Periscope is a demon-level existence.
Through this mark, Donald was connected to this existence, but he had Fang Yuan's aura on him.
For deep-sea periscopes, they must pay more attention.
The result was that Donald became increasingly neurotic.
Even when I look at my fingers every day, I can't help but have the desire to bite them and smear them on the wall.
"You are indeed guilty!"
At this time, the emblem in Donald's hand suddenly emitted a burst of light and heat.
"My Lord... have you finally come to consciousness?"
Donald almost cried with joy.
I don't know since when, the Lord of Dream Soldiers responded less and less to him, making Donald feel as if he had lost his "divine grace", and his whole person became more neurotic and sensitive.
"You don't have to worry, don't panic... The test of the world is coming, and only the devout can survive the test!"
Fang Yuan's voice came.
In fact, he recently wanted to take charge of the pirates and play the role of the Pirate King, but he really wasn't as concerned about this as before.
However, Donald is the Pope after all, and we cannot watch him being plotted against.
A circle of water emerged, soaking Donald's entire body, and immediately gathered on his back, forming an inverted triangle with vertical eyes.
"This is… "
Donald looked through a mirror and looked at this thing with a tattoo that didn't look like a tattoo and a mark that didn't look like a mark, but he felt a little dull.
Immediately, he understood.
After entering the house, he received the attention of the deep-sea periscope.
Of course, that kind of existence may just be a mark and done casually.
But for Donald, it was enough to make him restless, and eventually he was completely overwhelmed by the pressure.
In fact, Fang Yuan has no doubt that if it were another person, he would have been bewitched by this time to collect materials that could summon the Deep Sea Familiar.
