Fairy’s Box

After the inauguration ceremony, the first pirate joint meeting kicked off. Although the pirates basically did not have a positive attitude, Yale still hoped that the meeting would be more formal, at least not like a riot.

In order to create a good start and show the majesty of the commander-in-chief at the same time, the black-haired knight and his friends have sorted out three plans to make this meeting more compelling.

The first is personal hygiene. All those attending the meeting, men, women and children, even if they jump into the sea, must rinse themselves clean. Pirates with dreadlocks, stench all over their bodies, and fleas in their clothes are never allowed to enter.

It's just that there are only a few pirates who pay attention to personal hygiene. If you want them to be obedient, you still have to play a tiger's banner.

After thinking about it, the only thing that can make this group of rabble obedient is the Code of Pirates.

Therefore, after careful research by a group of "code scholars", they successfully extracted the meeting etiquette set by Captain Jack that year, and made this series of research results public.

The original words of Captain Jack in the code are - when the captain lectures, you need to put your ears up and listen carefully, if you feel sleepy, wash your face, otherwise Lao Tzu will break your legs.

After word-by-word scrutiny and careful study by "code scholars", the translations sorted out are as follows:

When the admiral and captain give a formal speech or lecture, the pirates must abide by the etiquette and wash their bodies with water in advance, otherwise they will be executed according to regulations.

Of course, in the public announcement, there is only the translated version and not the original version, at least for Yale and the others, there is no problem with this tiger skin.

After comparing the known version with the original version passed down by word of mouth, the pirates subconsciously felt that the translated version seemed to be more reliable.

In their hearts, Captain Jack, who compiled the pirate code, left treasures handed down, and laid the foundation of mankind in the mysterious sea, is a solemn and wise legislator, a cruel and cruel pioneer, and an immortal legend admired by all pirates.

The laws formulated by his old man are of course very high-quality, and the reason why he has become so "popular" here must be that the translation of the oral code must be wrong!

The stalwart and tall Captain Jack should speak in the style of the translated version. Blackbeard, the first commander of the Combined Fleet, not to mention anything else, has a good eye.

So the pirates quietly undressed and bathed in order to force themselves.

The second is personal attire. In Yale's opinion, it is very unpleasant to get into a bunch of colorful and exotic costumes on such a serious and solemn historic occasion.

However, pirates just like fancy clothes, especially the famous pirate leader. If you don't stand alone, you will be looked down upon by your peers.

In order to deal with their thoughts, the black-haired knight and his friends turned over the "Pirate Code" without a word.

The "Code Scholar" lived up to expectations. After tireless research, he finally found the original words of Captain Jack about the dress of the meeting in the Pirate Code.

The original words on Jack's ship are as follows - we are pirates, we can do anything at sea, but on land, especially when we get together, it is better to wear simple clothes, otherwise there may be the risk of going to prison.

In fact, the original scene of this sentence was when Captain Jack took his younger brothers ashore to go to prostitutes, in order not to attract the attention of Tiaozi, he secretly instructed everyone.

Although this sentence had no special meaning at the time, or even just said it casually, it did not prevent the loyal support of the legendary pirates from recording it.

When they came to Yalei, they naturally had to combine the stalwart image of Captain Jack and his own little political needs to carry out a series of goodwill packaging.

The translation is as follows:

The gatherings, alliances, elections and other ceremonies of the pirates are of great importance. Whether the venue is at sea or on land has completely different meanings. Land gatherings are solemn and sacred. All people should choose simple and upright attire. Those who violate the laws and regulations should be detained and punished.

As for what to wear, Yale also has a unified standard - white formal clothes with the logo of justice embroidered on the back.

After the pirates accepted the first decree, it was easy to accept the second decree. Anyway, the Pirate Council uniformly issued uniforms without spending a penny.

Finally, there is the issue of discipline at the meeting. Although the requirements of the black-haired knights are not high, they just ask them not to make trouble, and they can enter and exit the venue in order.

But it is difficult to achieve such a goal alone. Who is the pirate in the Uncharted Sea who does not have three or five enemies, and one or two deadly enemies?

In the unlikely event that two people meet and quarrel, and then call for friends, help out, put a cloud-piercing arrow or something, it is not delusional for a historic meeting to turn into a big melee.

How to solve it?

Yale and his friends thought about it and opened the "Pirate Code" again.

"Codex scholars" are as powerful as ever. After their meticulous deliberation, Captain Jack's "golden and jade words" hidden in the Codex came out again.

Captain Jack's original words are like this - the neat and consistent sails and masts will improve the morale of one's own side, and at the same time cause invisible oppression to the enemy, we need to try to maintain this style. Whoever breaks the formation will be punished, and I will whip them until they are silent.

This sentence was originally from the experience of the legendary pirates when they fought at sea, telling the subordinates the importance of fleet formation and how to deal with idiots who can't sail.

But now, after careful analysis by scholars, it has become the decisive evidence for his emphasis on the importance of order.

The new translation is as follows:

Rigorous and orderly formation and order are related to their own morale and style. All pirates should keep this in mind. Sinners who disturb the order of major occasions and create panic and chaos will be whipped-to death .

Captain Jack's tiger skin, combined with the title of Commander of the Combined Fleet, combined with the strength and record of the Blackbeard Pirates, the powerful majesty fermented by the three has effectively curbed the dissatisfied voices of the pirates. Even if they are dissatisfied, under the suppression of righteousness and regulations, they can only remember this decree that concerns their own lives.

...

The first pirate joint meeting was held in the rotunda on the top floor of the House of Commons. The space is spacious and tall. The entrance and exit passages use round arches. The outer wall of the hall is a large circle with four floors. You have to look up to see the top. The lower three floors are all round arches and pillars of the same color, surrounded by layers of stands, lined up all the way to the top, and the upper floor has only small rectangular windows and beams.

There are murals, statues, and utensils are all of the highest standard.

This simple contrast makes people feel that this building is a whole piece, and the atmosphere of "unity", "unity" and "power" is rendered invisibly.

Of course, the vast majority of pirates do not have this artistic cell. For them, there are only three impressions here - what a ****! Holy crap, go up the grade! Damn it, I can come here to pretend I'm so cool!

For Yale, it was already quite satisfying to make them have such an impression.

In the center of the hall at the bottom, on the edge of a huge ring-shaped stone table, at this moment, it is full of elite pirates from the entire mysterious sea.

Although the strong sunlight outside has illuminated every stone bright and hot, there is no light in the hall, only a beam of natural sunlight hanging from the vault, and the dust floats up and down in the soft light, forming with the surrounding darkness. The sharp contrast-invisibly increases the sense of sanctity and solemnity of the meeting.

As the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, the black-haired knight is currently the nominal head of all pirates in the Uncharted Sea, and is the first to sit in the northern part of the round table, with his back against the huge mural of Captain Jack. Whitebeard sat on his left side, while Kaido and Redhead, who were bruised and wrapped in white gauze, sat directly opposite them with expressionless faces.

The pirate groups under their command are all in the lower seats, sitting in the stands on the first floor, except for the pirate captains and elites of the four major pirate groups sitting in the second floor stands, and respected old pirates, big businessmen, and island kings Sitting in the third row, the powerful Pirate Nova, the upper-class islanders, the doctor, and the navigator sit in the fourth row.

Yale was sitting at the core of the round table, leaning against the mural of Captain Jack climbing the sky peas, and a beam of light from the dome reflected on his stern face, looking majestic and imposing.

According to the will of the black-haired knight, the constitution of the meeting is also mainly concise and efficient. After the concise statement of the representative of the Pirate Council, it is directly the speech of the commander of the combined fleet.

Mosquito-like discussions raged in the venue, and there were endless questions humming among the gray-white marble pillars. Among the many fearful eyes, the commander of the Pirate Council United Fleet solemnly declared:

"Accepting the authorization of the Pirate Council, I, Blackbeard, Edward Titch, will hereby announce the formation of a combined fleet. Everyone participating in the meeting and every pirate ship in the Uncharted Sea will become this team during wartime. Part of the fleet!

I promise to follow the principle of autonomy of each pirate group in peacetime, and never violate the freedom and rights enjoyed by all pirates. "

After the black-haired knight announced the composition of the combined fleet, he raised his right arm solemnly, pointed his index finger to the resolute and brave face of Captain Jack in the mural behind him, and started the second paragraph without interruption:

"Self-legislators, pioneers, pioneers, the great One Piece-Captain Jack, led his subordinates to overcome all obstacles, torn the mysterious sea from the siege and intimidation of sea monsters and ghosts, and built this shining sea from blood and corpses. Thief of Glory's Paradise begins.

We have experienced one great division after another, endless internal friction and strife has lost countless wealth and power, our territory has stopped, and we are surrounded by wolves.

Now, the evil fruit has sprouted, they have joined hands, and they are coming!

Despicable ghosts, lowly remnants of the sea, they have formed evil alliances, want to destroy our territory, plunder our wealth, and they will decorate their courtyards with human flesh and blood! "

After Yale finished reading this paragraph, he raised his head and looked at the pirates who were gradually quieting down in the hall. His eyes shone with hot and sharp light, and shouted loudly in a provocative and bewitching tone:

"I! Blackbeard! Pirates who inherit the glory and will of Captain Jack, hereby ask you all to stand up, swear to me with your fingers and your right hand raised - never forget the sacrifice and pioneering of our ancestors, use their spirit Arm yourself and jointly protect our territory, our sea frontier, and our future!"

"We swear!"

The pirates who had practiced in the first row stood up one after another, pressed their swords with their left hands, raised their fists with their right hands, and began to recite the oath aloud with the great pirate.

"We swear!"

The pirates in the second row and the third set hurriedly stood up, imitating the behavior of the front row, and then read the oath.

The Pirate Nova in the last row took the initiative to stand up, their faces full of enthusiasm, they looked at the commander-in-chief with enthusiasm, and shouted loudly in a voice that almost overwhelmed the first three rows:

"We swear! We swear! Never forget the sacrifice and pioneering of our ancestors, arm ourselves with their spirits, and jointly protect our territory, our sea frontier, and our future!"

"Very good! Please take your seats again."

The black-haired knight pressed his hands down and motioned them to sit back in their seats, giving his performance a full score in his heart.

At the same time, he judged based on the performance of these four rows, the future of Uncharted Sea should be in the fourth row, and only this group of people shed blood and sacrificed for the imaginary community in their hearts—this is a sign of condensing national consciousness.

Once a group condenses the will of the country, their power will be greatly enhanced. Compared with the top three rows (excluding Kara and the others) who think they are mature, stable, indifferent and numb, these young people are the backbone of the rise of the Pirate Federation. .

...

Just when the pirates formed the combined fleet, other forces in the mysterious sea also entered a sensitive preparation period because of this sudden change.

At this time, Chaoyang had just risen from the horizon in the distance, and the golden light was all over the sea, but a large sea area within the scope of the Ghost Islands was always shrouded in an incomparably deep darkness.

The black sky, the black island, and the black hull make it difficult to distinguish where the sky is, where is the ground, and where is the dangerous and deadly ghost fleet.

"..."

Under the silent command of the superior undead.

Thousands of armed skeleton heavy infantry, death knights, armed to the teeth, the whole body seems to be fully armed, merged into a black tide, and began to line up to the darkest and deepest position in the distance.

The tens of thousands of silent troops made no sound, only the sharp sound of the wind blowing over the blades of the weapons, and the neat steps that made the earth tremble.

The legion composed entirely of the dead is like a row of copper walls and iron walls, advancing forward with the momentum of crushing everything. The whole army merges into a suffocating invisible pressure, which makes the sun in the sky turbulent and retreat. .

The speed of the army's advancement was constant, and the powerful negative energy gathered into black smoke. Following them, strange dark ripples were released from every corner of the army, as if layers of night light, killing the entire army of undead. shrouded in cover.
