Chapter 136 The current leader, the future traitor

Of course, even if he knew that James Kidd in front of him was actually a woman disguised as a man and a member of the Assassin Brotherhood, Rorschach would pretend not to know.

He sacrificed a lot to finally integrate into the group of pirates. If he said that he slipped his mouth, wouldn't it spoil other people's business?
Most of the time, this is how it is when dealing with people. Only by seeing through and not telling the truth can we continue to be good friends...

Some women disguised themselves as men, but I won't tell who it was.

With the same expression as usual, Rorschach smiled slightly at James Kidd, then raised his hand to signal to the proprietress of the tavern:
"Doris, more rum!"

"Coming soon!"

Sitting down again, Rorschach heard Hornigold's ridicule, and it rang in his ears:

"Rorschach, you are quick to get used to the job of pirates. Everyone is discussing how much money you have earned from going to sea..."

After a pause, he picked up the wooden wine glass, took a sip, and then continued: "Even the crew members under me can't wait to switch to your hands and go out to sea to plunder wealth with you..."

Hearing these words, Luo Xia frowned slightly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

There is something in this!

Do you feel that Luo Xia's money-making speed is too scary, and you are afraid in your heart, or are you just teasing and joking?

Maybe both?
The thoughts in his mind were spinning at a high speed, but Luo Xia's surface was as stable as Mount Tai, he smiled lightly, and responded casually:

"Oh, I smell jealous... However, I don't plan to recruit new crew members for the time being. There are too many people, and I can't afford it."

Hearing this, Hernigold suddenly laughed, "How could it be? The famous captain of the Poseidon can't afford to support his own crew? No pirate would believe such absurd things. "

After the laughter, the smile on his face disappeared, and the topic changed, "But, did you forget something?"

Looking at the serious Henigold, Rorschach's expression was normal, and he asked in a flat tone: "Really? Then you can remind me, what is that?"

"The Brotherhood of the Coast has a rule that you can't attack British ships. But you don't seem to take this rule to heart..."

Rorschach didn't seem to care about Henigold's question at all, he just picked up his glass, took a sip of the rum, and said in a deep voice:

"Sorry, Hernigold, that's your personal preference. I respect your choice. But as a pirate, when I see a merchant ship full of cargo and unable to resist appearing in front of me, I don't want to Possibly turn the ship around."

"Even if I wanted to do that, my crew wouldn't let it go. And I wouldn't let it go because it's flying the British red flag..."

Rorschach's tough attitude did not surprise Henigold.

He just continued to persuade:

"I can understand that you are from the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps to you, the British, the French, and the Spaniards are all the same."

"However, I just think that you can be more cautious when choosing your prey. Now the British have too much power at sea. If you attack their ships with such recklessness, you will only anger them and bring a greater disaster to the world. Come to Nassau."

These words made Luo Xia frowned.

Rorschach, who had played the game, naturally knew that Hornigold was the leader of the Pirate Alliance at this time.

However, he will become a traitor who betrays the alliance in the future!
Hornigold was an Englishman and had been a privateer backed by the British government.

Privateers are a kind of "militia" officially endorsed and supported by countries in order to combat other countries' trade activities

In short, they are a group of official pirates at sea in the name of the country.

But compared with ordinary pirates, they have official privateer certificates and official intelligence support.

Although Hernigold and Blackbeard founded the Pirate Republic, they are nominally the leaders of the Pirate Alliance.

However, because he kept his hands off his own ships, many considered him more a privateer than a pirate.

But Rorschach only knew that the reason why Hornigold did not fight against the British was not because of his patriotism, but because he was always pessimistic about the fate of the pirates and Nassau, and wanted to leave a future for himself. That's all.

In the main plot of the game, when the British sent envoys to persuade the pirates of Nassau to surrender, he chose to accept it without hesitation.

How could Nassau remain independent with such a volatile boy as the leader of the Pirate Alliance?

Since Hornigold's goals are completely different from his own and conflict with each other, Rorschach does not intend to give face to the titular leader of the Pirate Alliance.

I saw him with a serious expression, staring at Hornigold closely, and said in a deep voice:
"Honigold, you don't sound like a pirate, but more like a royal guard of the British king."

As soon as these words came out, not only Hornigold was taken aback, but even Blackbeard and Kidd on the side showed surprise expressions.

They didn't expect that Rorschach would say such offensive words.

What made them even more unexpected was Rorschach's next speech:

"I know you used to be a privateer. However, I also want to remind you that you are now the leader of the Pirate Alliance. What you have to consider is not whether King George is unhappy, but the safety of Nassau, and you Your crew."

Rorschach's words caught Hernigold unexpectedly, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Rorschach again:

"Besides, if we don't attack the British, His Majesty George will let us hungry wolves at sea? I don't know whether you are naive or too idealistic!"

Said, Luo Xia couldn't help straightening his waist, clenched his fists, emphasizing firmly:

"How to plunder wealth, how to build Nassau, and guard this country that is like the Garden of Eden to us..."

"That's what we're going to do!"

Compared with Hornigold's speech just now to persuade Rorschach not to attack British ships, Rorschach at this time is more like a pirate leader who is always thinking about Nassau.

And this passionate speech was like a boulder thrown into the lake, causing huge ripples in the hearts of Blackbeard and Kidd.

Especially for Blackbeard, his eyes shone brightly.

Although he used to be Hornigold's deputy, he stood on the same front as him.

But on the issue of "whether to attack British ships", he has always maintained an opposing attitude.

Now, hearing Rorschach's speech, he couldn't agree more in his heart.

Noticing that Hornigold's expression was very ugly, Blackbeard blinked his eyes, couldn't help reaching out and patted the old man's shoulder, and said in relief:

"Ben, Rorschach is only thinking of the Pirate Alliance, don't take it to heart."

Although I know the little Jiujiu in Hernigold's heart.

However, before his strength completely overwhelmed the opponent, Luo Xia didn't want to turn against him so quickly, so he said sincerely: "If my words offend you, I apologize."

At this time, Hornigold had already begun to regret it in his heart.

Regret why I invited this aggressive Oriental into the league.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still tried his best to maintain his mentality, smiled reluctantly, and waved his hands, "I didn't take it to heart, what you said has your reason..."

Seeing that Hornigold didn't pursue it, Rorschach took the opportunity to say, "Since we're talking about Nassau, I just have something to discuss with everyone in the alliance."

"What is it?"

Facing the suspicious eyes of the three people, Luo Xia did not answer directly, but emphasized with a serious expression:

"This is a very important matter, related to the fate of all the pirates in Nassau!"
