Chapter 189: King of Pirates!

Through the Battle of Nassau, the armistice with Britain, the greatest enemy, was won for two years.

Moreover, it also formed an alliance with the French and received diplomatic assistance.

In a sense, the Pirate Republic has passed the most difficult period and has become full-fledged.

However, there is still a long way to go before the Pirate Republic will have enough power to continue to maintain its own independence.

What Rorschach can do is to find a way to make the Pirate Republic more prosperous and powerful!

The Central American Caribbean region, where the Bahamas are located, can be regarded as a transit point connecting the old world (Europe) and the new world (the American continent), and it is also a necessary route for triangular trade.

As long as the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico are firmly in control, and then expand its power to the entire Central America, and even the east coast of North America, the Pirate Republic will remain invincible!

Rorschach from the future knows better than anyone else the great potential contained in the new continent of North America.

However, a pirate is always a pirate and cannot become a soldier or a farmer.

Therefore, if you want the Pirate Republic to continue to grow and develop, you must let the pirates go to sea to plunder!

However, attacking the merchant ships of other countries as always will only make the Pirate Republic a target of public criticism, and even force other countries to unite
This is why Rorschach would agree to an alliance with the French.

The French needed their ally at sea, and they needed the French ally on land.

Not only the French, Rorschach also signed a cooperation agreement with another British competitor, the Netherlands, the "sea coachman".

At the cost of recognizing the country status of the Pirate Republic, the Netherlands received a promise that the Pirate Republic would not attack its own ships.

After forming an alliance with France and the Netherlands, the Pirate Republic has in-depth commercial cooperation with the two countries. For example, French and Dutch merchant ships do not need to pay any taxes when they anchor in the Bahamas; another example is that the Pirate Republic provides escort services for French and Dutch merchant ships. Cargo profit sharing and so on.

With allies, of course there are also enemies.

Otherwise, who will the pirates go to snatch? !
Rorschach selected two targets for the wolves of the Pirate Republic.

That is to say, in the era of great geographical discovery in the past, the two countries that were the first to eat crabs, the Iberian Peninsula, Spain and Portugal!

There are two considerations in choosing these two countries as enemies.

On the one hand, it is because these two countries are easy to bully.

After experiencing the War of Spanish Succession, Spain lost most of its overseas colonies.

However, there are also colonies headed by Havana in Central America, which continuously provided various resources of the New World to Spain.

As long as these colonies are taken down, the Pirate Republic can further control Central America and turn the Caribbean Sea into its own inland sea.

Tobacco, cotton and gold produced in America will all enter Nassau's warehouse!
As for Portugal, it's just incidental.

On the other hand, it was because of the Knights Templar.

From the moment he personally killed Woods Rogers, Rorschach turned his back on the Templars.

The Knights Templar will definitely put him on the threat list and do everything possible to kill him.

Compared with other chapters of the Knights Templar, his grievances with the Caribbean chapter of the Knights Templar are more direct.

Between him and the former Cuban Governor Torres, only one person can survive.

There are both conflicts of interest and personal grievances.

That's why Rorschach made Spain the priority of the Pirate Republic.

Rather than waiting for the other party to come to your door, it is better to take the initiative to eliminate the threat in the cradle!
Next, his task is very simple:
Not only must the Caribbean region be included, but all Templars within the sphere of influence must be eradicated!

. . .

Over the next three years, he did exactly that.

As the leader of the Pirate Republic, Rorschach devoted most of his time to how to manage the Republic.

And his efforts were not in vain.

After countless confrontations at sea and trade blockades, the Pirate Republic teamed up with its two allies, France and the Netherlands, to finally drive the Spaniards out of the Caribbean and carve up many colonies including Havana from them.

And it also radiated its sphere of influence to the Gulf of Mexico, and included the Florida Peninsula in its territory.

With the expansion of the territory and the growth of national power, the Pirate Republic replaced the British and became the undisputed overlord of Central America!
Of course, while governing the country, Rorschach did not forget the threat of the Knights Templar.

In his spare time, he would call Edward to hunt down a few Templars for fun.

Under the hunting of the Assassin Brotherhood, Rorschach, Edward and others, the Templars in the Caribbean Division of the Knights Templar were killed one after another.

And one dark rainy night he came with Edward, and sent Torres to see their father of insight.

It is worth mentioning that before his death, the Supreme Master of the Caribbean Section of the Knights Templar was still writing a letter to the Spanish Section of the Knights Templar, hoping that they would send reinforcements to help him fight against the Pirate Republic and the Brotherhood of Assassins huge threat.

Unfortunately, when the Hidden Sword pierced his chest, this letter could no longer be sent...

. . .

After destroying the Caribbean branch of the Knights Templar, Rorschach learned from Torres' relics that Torres started to destroy the relevant documents of the Knights Templar when the Templars died one by one.

Although it's a pity that I couldn't find more pieces of Eden.

However, Rorschach didn't care that much.

After all, nothing in this world is always perfect.

Lose my life, gain my luck.

Soon after, through the eyes and ears of the Assassin Brotherhood and pirates, he also found the missing Saint Roberts.

He is not at all interested in the large monitoring instrument of the Observatory.

Of course, he didn't intend to let the Knights Templar control the Observatory, so as to achieve their goal of controlling the world.

Therefore, he chose to kill the saint without hesitation, let the observatory continue to be buried deep in the memory of the saint, and let it disappear in the long river of time...

As time went by, there were more and more silver coins in the wallet, and life became more and more hopeful. The pirates had a stronger sense of belonging to the Pirate Republic, and they loved Rorschach, the leader, even more.

Rorschach's personal reputation has also reached a new height
Unknowingly, the time came to February 1720.

Three months before his stay, Rorschach made a decision that was extremely important to himself and the Pirate Republic:
He convened a council of pirates and announced in front of all council members that he would retire from leadership!
Amid the objections from everyone, Luo Xia thought that his mission had been completed, and it was time to retire and enjoy life.

Next, he recommended Edward to be the next leader of the Republic.

After persuading him to no avail, Edward successfully took over Rorschach's authority and became the new leader of the Pirate Republic.

However, even after retiring, Rorschach's prestige and status still deeply affected the entire pirate world.

Countless pirates respectfully call him the "Uncrowned King", a true pirate king!
