Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 210: North Star God, Pioneer of the Bay People

Byron looked at his sister blinking her golden dragon eyes, giving him a provocative look, then flapped her wings and turned into a streak of silver light and flew away.

Catherine obtained the title ability of [Mithril Dragon], which meant that even if she was stripped of the position of regent and lost the blessing of the Golden Law.

She was also someone Byron could never beat, and the sister's prestige immediately began to shake again.

Without hesitation, he threw the difficult task of cleaning up the aftermath to the governor.

Of course, it is also possible that Catherine knows this guy too well.

Seeing Byron's eager expression, you know what he is thinking.

She was worried that she might not have the heart to refuse his excessive request in front of everyone, so she simply ran away.

Byron reluctantly withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself:
"It's stingy, riding a bike won't make you pregnant"

"Your Majesty the Governor!"

After the focus of the whole scene shifted away, the company's Marines and the Armed Tax Inspection Division who were responsible for maintaining law and order at the scene immediately spotted Byron.

They immediately stood at attention and saluted in unison.

Snapped!
It was an army more regular than the kingdom's regular army, and once again gave a not-so-small shock to all the major forces in the port.

Some see it as disciplined; some see it as strict discipline;
Some people saw Byron, the pirate general, whose ambitions could not be contained by an international port!

Look at the "Treasurer" who is more powerful than anyone else present, as well as the fleet, fortress, city guards, and tax commissioner. Can you tell me that this is a simple pirate group?
It's you, not the Barbary pirates, who want to establish a country with a pirate group, right?

Byron also knew the truth that "when a cone is in a bag, its tip is immediately visible". Sooner or later, they will have to get used to this kind of thing, as there will be many more things that will shock the world.

He calmly saluted his soldiers:

"Thank you for your hard work, the merit points for tonight's operation will be increased by 20% on top of the original rewards and penalties.

The number of inspection teams that provided the first warning increased by 100%, and the number of casualties doubled.

Continue to perform the mission and follow the emergency plan."

"As you command, Your Excellency!"

After the immediate encouragement, Byron immediately met with the team of tax collectors who first discovered the invaders and bravely rushed forward.

In addition to verbal encouragement, he also publicly rewarded Ron with the [Treasure Guardian] job knowledge he wanted.

And especially emphasize:

"I feel relieved to leave our company's treasury to you."

"Sir, I am willing to give you my heart, woo woo woo"

Ron was so excited that he was trembling slightly, his eyes were red, and he knelt on one knee and swore solemnly with a tearful voice.

Compared to the precarious life in the navy and merchant ships, where one is treated even lower than cattle and horses.

Byron's clear distinction between rewards and punishments and his treatment of people as human beings instantly pierced his heart.

This is the only way a gentleman would die for his confidant.

It also makes other people's eyes red, and they wish they could take their place so that they can also encounter the invaders and fight for a bright future with their own lives.

Byron was openly winning people's hearts.

The art of controlling people may seem complicated, but its essence is nothing more than rewards and punishments.

Just as flowers, plants and trees grow towards the sun, humans as living beings will always move towards their own interests.

As long as you hold on to the thread of interests, you can control anyone, whether they are subordinates, friends or enemies!
Of course, there are many kinds of "benefits", which are not necessarily gold and silver. They can also be a sense of belonging, respect for personality, or the opportunity to realize one's value, etc.

This is also a "Ming Di" that he carefully crafted.

He guaranteed that whenever he shot at anyone in the future, his soldiers would rush forward without hesitation, roaring and chopping the opponent to pieces.

However, when Byron saw Ron in front of him, he immediately thought of another thing.

——Crystal Skull No. 12 [North Star God] Samantha Ek.

It serves as a guide for all travelers and a living map of the entire indigenous Taino community (Chapter 181).

When he rescued this group of former navy soldiers, he also obtained the coordinates of the skull's hiding place from a second mate who practiced the black magic [Head Shrinking].

The location where Treasure Island is about to appear is just on the northern edge of the "World Serpent Celestial Circulation Belt", not far from the island.

In order to avoid any accidents, he immediately contacted Alfred, the [Blood Red Whiskey] who was on a mission outside, and was also the knight of the right hand of the sixteen kings.

"Alfred, I'll give you a coordinate, and you'll set out as soon as tomorrow morning comes.

No matter what method you use, I want to see the skull when we meet, is that okay?"

On the other side of the legal network, the [Gourmet] who was enjoying dinner jumped up and patted his chest heavily:
"As you command, sir.

We guarantee that the mission will be completed. There is no need to wait until dawn. The Lancer will set off now!"

At the same time, in another sea area under the dark night.

A large pirate ship turned the spars of the foremast and mainmast, kept all the sails balanced with the wind, turned on the sail brakes, and floated quietly on the sea.

It’s just that the paint job on this sailboat uses too many bright colors and decorations of yellow, red and white.

It is very different from ordinary pirate ships that mainly engage in disguised plundering.

There is also a clown figurehead with an exaggerated laugh placed under the bowsprit.

This is the flagship of the Clown Pirates, a ship converted from a large merchant ship, the [Circus], whose armament is not much inferior to that of an ordinary fourth-level ship.

Ring ring ring.
The crew members working on the ship were all clowns, wearing exaggerated costumes, painted faces, wigs or hats with bells.

It's like poking a clown's nest.

“Hahahahahahahaha.”

Every clown had the same creepy smile on his face, no matter if he was making dinner, maintaining the deck, packing gunpowder, or cleaning the cannon.

Ordinary people would be scared to death when facing them, let alone fighting.

"Ah——!" Suddenly, a shrill cry like that of a lone wolf pierced the night sky, scaring all the clowns so much that they trembled all over.

Like puppets, they all turned their heads in unison to look at the captain's room, shrank their necks, and dared not make any sound again.

Only one shrill roar echoed repeatedly throughout the pirate ship:

"Sea Hunter, Mithril Dragon, I'm going to kill you! Kill, kill, kill, kill you all! Hahahaha."

Another skinny bone-eating clown in the captain's room wiped the blood that suddenly spurted out of his nose. His eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.

Because the Spell-Breaking Stone blocked the connection between him and his nose, his supernatural powers became ineffective and the damage was also reflected in his body.

This proves that his ability to tear his body into pieces at will, which he got from [Life-threatening Clown], is not completely without flaws.

After Koraskin lost his temper and smashed everything in the captain's cabin, he seemed to have vented some of his anger.

The endless rage and madness on the painted face gradually returned to normal.

But the missing nose left a hideous bloody hole in the middle of his face, making him look even more terrifying.

“Fortunately, when I got the treasure map, I had already memorized the location of Treasure Island.

Bottom line, mission accomplished.”

He sat back firmly on the chair with only two legs left, reached into his bloated trouser pocket that seemed like a bottomless pit, and pulled out a joker card that seemed to be made of gold.

The eyes are obsessed, and I can’t see enough:
"My dear, my dear."

Apart from the different materials, the pattern on it is exactly the same as the whist playing cards popular on the mainland.

It's nothing strange to these clowns in the palace sequence.

Playing cards are an indispensable prop for the clown to perform various abilities such as divination, magic tricks, and throwing knives.

The Joker symbol in playing cards represents the Joker.

There are usually two joker cards in each deck of 54 cards, also known as the big and small kings or the big and small ghosts.

The King represents the sun, the King represents the moon, and the remaining 52 cards represent the 52 weeks of the year.
The four suits of hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades represent the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively;

There are 13 cards in each suit, representing the 13 weeks in each season.

When playing cards were first invented, they were actually divination tools for clowns, and they were closely related to astrology, divination, astronomy, and calendar.

But this big ghost card that seems to be made of gold is obviously not an ordinary item.

In the spiritual vision of the extraordinary people, there is a dirty aura that looks like thousands of colorful hairs and moldy caterpillars.

Not only did it tightly wrap around the [Bone-Eating Clown] Koraskin, but it also penetrated the wall of the captain's room and extended to every crew member of the Circus.

Obvious.

The reason why the originally normal Clown Pirates have become what they are now is because of this golden [Big Joker Card]!
It is also one of the powerful cursed objects sent to the real world by the Joker.

And as time goes by, the Joker Pirates become more and more polluted.

While making all sailors and officers of various professions crazy about the clown costume, it also gives them a variety of additional extraordinary abilities.

Even the most common mortal sailor has a passive ability or two, and the higher the rank, the more generous the bounties.

It already has a bit of the flavor of the collective bonus of legion titles.

Key capabilities include:
[Super Strength]: Not afraid of pain, even three or four adults cannot suppress it.

[Superb Dexterity]: Whether throwing a ball or throwing a knife, he can reach the level of a master mortal clown.

[Clown Intuition]: You can clearly tell what is hidden on the other side even through a wall.

[Unicycle Balancing Technique]: Ride on the mast, or even stand on the tip of a knife without losing balance.
The highest level is Koraskin's own [Shattered]:
The blood that flows out is colorful paint, and it is almost immune to physical damage. Even if the hands and feet are cut off, they can be put back together like a puppet.

The destiny of using the [Golden Big Joker] is also very simple, which is to be the opposite of a normal clown and bring endless terror to the world!

Obviously, as long as the "Life-threatening Clown" and the clown costume are not destroyed, there will be an endless supply of scary clowns.

Looking at this big joker card, Koraskin's expression gradually turned crazy again:
“Ruins, how could there be something that is obviously from the Old World in the long-abandoned indigenous ruins inside the celestial circulation belt?

Could it be that we were not the first group of colonists to arrive in the New World?"

On the tattered table in front of him were the spoils of his last escape from the "Celestial Circulation Belt".

Among a large number of pottery utensils that were obviously of indigenous style, there was a rusty iron pot in the style of the Old World.

Among the obsidian weapons, there is even a very old and broken Taiwanese battle axe!

This shows that this is definitely not from the circulation belt exploration operation that has only recently begun.

Instead, it is clear that there was a group of people from the Old World who lived there for quite a long time.

This time will be at least a hundred years.

These utensils that clearly bear the characteristics of the Bay People all indicate that perhaps hundreds of years before the beginning of the Age of Discovery, a group of pirate adventurers among the Bay People had come here.

“As long as I get the wealth of Treasure Island, I will be able to recruit new troops and horses quickly, improve my strength, fight back to the circulation belt, and uncover this ancient secret.

Becoming a household name like the discoverer Christopher has completely solidified my anchor.

I can even use this Big Ghost card of the same sequence as mine to create a special army just for me to serve as my guards, and overwhelm everything with ease.

I can do it, the clown can do it.

Whoever tries to stop me will be killed horribly by the Joker.

"Quack, quack."

Obviously Koraskin also realized that something was wrong with him.

If there is a way, who would be willing to become a freak with no "self" and only pure animality?
But his greedy desire made it impossible for him to give up the card.

The smile that is close to collapse is uglier than crying, and more ferocious than a beast that is pushed to its limit.

"Weigh anchor! Let's go to the sea where Treasure Island is about to appear and grab a good place to land in advance!"
