King Snake General of Pirates

The year 1515 of the Haiyuan calendar.

West Sea.

Countless dark clouds gathered together, making the sky gray and depressing. It was like there was a big hole in the sky. Continuous raindrops fell one after another, adding a layer of darkness to the already dark sky. Rain curtain.

The unknown island has not been visited by people for many years. On the lonely coast, a navy warship has slowly sailed away.

On the warship, several young soldiers in navy uniforms looked out through the windows at the continuous rain, shaking their heads.

"What are you doing, not working hard, are you lazy?" A young man wearing casual simple clothes came over.

"Second Lieutenant, the weather is really weird today. It was fine when we left just now, but right after we left, it started raining heavily."

"The weather at sea is changeable. This is no reason for you to slack off in your official duties. Have you finished counting all the supplies that Captain Hal asked you to count?"

"Yes, the statistics are over." One of the navy soldiers handed a manual recording all the supplies they had just harvested to the second lieutenant who was giving the lecture.

After the ensign officer got the manual, he nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards Captain Hal's office on the warship.

There was a knock on the door, and after hearing the permission "Please come in" from inside, he happily opened the door and walked in.

"Captain Hal, what are you looking at so seriously?"

The naval officer known as Captain Hal is a 21-year-old man, 1.8 meters tall, with short black ear-length hair. A perfectly fitted black suit shows off his strong figure.

When the ensign came in, he was staring attentively at a chart spread on the table in front of him, which recorded the distribution of known islands in the waters near the 53rd branch of the West China Sea Navy.

The entire world is composed of four sea areas, southeast, northwest, plus a great shipping route and the Red Earth Continent. The four sea areas are vast and boundless. Even one of them, the West Sea, is jointly governed by many naval branches to maintain the security of one of the sea areas. , to protect a certain world government alliance country that exists here from pirates.

Hal joined the Navy as a teenager and is an officer of the 53rd branch of the West Sea Navy. His position is captain and he is responsible for maintaining order in this sea area.

"Jeremy, come take a look."

Hal called his subordinate Lieutenant Jeremy to come closer, tapped his fingertips on an oval-shaped island marked on the chart, and asked: "Look at this island, have we not been there yet? "

"Captain Hal, you have forgotten that the first island we landed on after coming out of the branch base was this island. You were kicked several times by a giant elephant on it and you screamed in pain."

"Oh, yes, yes, I remembered."

Hal pointed to another island: "What about this one?"

"I've been there too. At that time, you were chased and stung by a swarm of fist-sized poisonous bees. When you returned to the warship, you had an extra bag. You needed to apply medicine for a few days to get better. Have you forgotten?"

"What about this one?"

"Been there."

"This one."

Not wanting to miss every place, Hal pointed to a few more islands and got the same answer.

Unknowingly, he had searched all the known islands in the waters under the jurisdiction of Branch 53, but unfortunately he still couldn't find what he was looking for.

……

Jeremy covered his face and said helplessly: "Captain Hal, don't bother, we have been to all the islands we can see above."

"Well, that's a shame."

Hal shook his head with great regret and reluctantly looked away from the chart.

Now that we have been there, it is best not to go back again, lest it cause panic to the residents of the island.

And after Hal thought about it seriously, he didn't seem to meet any great people during his trip, so he was busy in vain.

"Captain Hal, I said why don't we stay at the base? At least we can have some rest. This time we came out and did nothing but do a hard day's work and were chased by a group of beasts with no intelligence."

Facing Jeremy's puzzled question, Hal paused, and then replied in a very serious tone:

"We are the navy, and our duty is to maintain peace and order near the sea. If we don't patrol frequently and protect the lives of nearby kingdoms and civilians, then what's the point of wearing this navy uniform?"

Jeremy's expression froze, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, but the young man was arrogant and would never be convinced in the face of rebuke. After a while, he muttered and said: "Then Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, they don't also……"

"They are them, and we are us. When we behave and do things, we don't seek approval from others, but we do it with a clear conscience."

"Jeremy, your ideological awareness still needs to be improved."

Hal sighed. In fact, he came out with a fleet of soldiers. In addition to this reason, there was another reason to fight.

For this reason, Hal has been looking for people to fight since he obtained that ability six months ago, but many people don't know the inside story.

But after trying for many days, Hal found that his body would only change when he was actually involved in a battle.

It's a pity that he is a navy officer and a captain. As long as he is in the world government, no one is really willing to fight him.

There is no other way, so Hal can only set his sights on the pirates who are sailing on the sea and constantly looking for prey. Pirates and the navy are mortal enemies, and there will definitely be a big battle if they meet.

As a result, no pirates were seen along the way from the 53rd branch base, so Hal decided to go to various islands to see if he could be lucky enough to encounter a pirate group who had landed on the island to rest and replenish supplies.

Jeremy didn't know this. He listened to Hal's teachings, especially the sentence "Be a man and do things without seeking approval from others, but with a clear conscience", which deeply touched his heart.

A heavy sense of recognition arose in his heart.

At this moment, Hal, who was serious and serious, was no longer just his boss in his eyes, but a hero.

A good captain who is just and awe-inspiring, loves his duties and loves civilians.

"Captain Hal, I..."

"Well, knowing your mistake means you can still be saved. Besides, we didn't get nothing. Didn't we just capture a group of bandits and rescued a village of innocent civilians?"

On the island he just left, Hal, who came to look for pirates, encountered a group of bandits robbing a small village, and happened to be captured by him and the soldiers.

Then the king of a local country that was not a member of the World Government heard about it and quickly led his army to capture the bandits. At the same time, he prepared generous gifts for the navy. The bandits were mostly civilians who had to make a living through robbery. In this way Without a fixed residence and a small force that can move at any time, small countries cannot achieve precise strikes and protect civilians, which gives them a headache.

Hal and the other navy did them a big favor.

In fact, the navies in other sea areas of the West Sea and even the other three seas will not care about bandits and thugs. Only Hal would accidentally encounter such a thing in order to find pirates.

It's just a piece of cake for Hal, but for the residents on the islands in the sea near the 53rd branch, it is an extremely beneficial protective umbrella. They even consciously hand over some property every time they encounter them, hoping to exchange for the long-term protection of the navy. .

After all, the navy not only has strong combat power, but also represents the identity of the maritime overlord.

Hal patted Jeremy on the shoulder.

After the other party nodded too hard, he took out a manual recording the supplies and handed it to Hal.

"Captain Hal, this is a list of the supplies that the civilians and the king on that island gave us out of gratitude. They are all recorded on it."

Hal took the manual and threw it on the table without even looking at it.

"There is no need to record this kind of thing in the future. You and other soldiers should divide those things. Thank you for your hard work on this patrol at sea."

"But... the base stipulates that all seized materials must be recorded and then confiscated."

Jeremy couldn't believe his ears. Captain Hal, who was usually upright, would actually say something about dividing the spoils.

If this was heard by the colonel in the base, he would be punished even if he said nothing.

What he didn't expect was that Hal didn't take it seriously at all, and scolded him angrily: "I see you are really tired and confused. The base stipulates that the seized materials must be handed over. Those were sent by others, not captured." Come on, what does this have to do with regulations?"

"Oh……"

After Jeremy figured this out, he ran out happily.

But not long after, he ran back in a panic.

"anymore question."

"There is a sea...a pirate ship."

Hal's eyes lit up, and his originally lazy body immediately became energetic. He grabbed Jeremy and walked to the deck.
