Chapter 222 Those who have fun going to sea, take a trip to The Underworld as a pastime!

The "Piracy Code" is a large book compiled by the great pirates Morgan and Bartholomew in the classical pirate era, and contains all the laws of the Pirate Guild.

The book is bound by more than one thousand pages of parchment.

The cover is embossed and weighs more than eighty pounds.

In the big world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is kept by Jack Sparrow's father, the early Madagascar pirate king Tig Sparrow.

The entity of the code kept the padlock but did not use it, and the key was kept by a prison dog.

The "Piracy Code" is all-encompassing. It contains many rules and guidelines for the daily life of pirates, such as how to exile a person, useful rum recipes, and a revised version applicable to the control of the South China Sea.

The code even provides a way to do when one is banished.

One paragraph also mentions artifacts, such as Poseidon’s trident, which are weapons that pirates are strictly prohibited from possessing because they are too powerful and dangerous.

The trade between pirates is also mentioned in the code, which allows pirates to buy and sell freely to make a profit.

The most conspicuous and often controversial item in the "Piracy Code" is Article 10, which clearly stipulates the distribution system of pirates' loot.

The captain and the chief mate (helmsman) are divided into two parts.

The key positions of gunner, cook, doctor, and sailor (navigator) can be divided into one and two parts.

The other staff are divided into one and one quarter.

Ordinary sailors each get one.

The share mentioned here refers to the proportion of a person's head.

For example, there are a total of ten crew members on the Jackdaw, including a captain and a first officer, and the remaining eight are ordinary sailors.

There are two for the captain and two for the chief mate, for a total of four, plus eight for the eight ordinary sailors, for a total of twelve.

Then the spoils obtained from this piracy must be divided into twelve equal parts before being distributed. The captain and chief mate will each take two twelfths, that is, one sixth, and the remaining people will each take one twelfth.

This distribution ratio is extremely friendly to the crew. Even the highest-ranking captain on this ship and the lowest-ranking ordinary sailor are just a trophy.

This is a fairly fair system, and it can even be said that the crew is extremely preferential.

As we all know, pirates are a symbol of selfishness, and because of this, this rule in the "Piracy Code" is the one with the lowest enforcement rate by the captain.

In fact, in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is quite common to withhold the treatment of crew members.

There is a saying: "Those who go to sea for fun, will visit The Underworld as a pastime."

Even the sailors who successfully escaped to the pirate ship will find that Life has not changed much.

Sailors have never been easy jobs.

Frequent moving heavy cargo often causes them to contract hernias, and those rolling barrels can crush their fingers or limbs accidentally.

The situation at sea changes rapidly, and when there are enough people to carry out shifts, their sleep time will not exceed 4 hours.

If you encounter wind and waves, you will be awakened in the middle of the night and run barefoot on the deck to pull the rope, and then be swept away by the turbulent waves, or overwhelmed by the falling rigging.

In winter, they will be drenched and trembling due to successive waves and heavy rains.

In the tropics, they are topless and their skin will be flushed with blisters from the hot sun.

The survival of the crew in such an astonishing environment can only make people sigh the tenacity of vitality.

For those slave ships, the death rate of crew members on a trip is about the same as that of slaves.

When the treatment reaches this point, everyone can say that they are all on the same starting line. The comparison is luck and vitality.

It is a good result that half of the people survive in the end.

In order to ensure that there are enough people to move the ship, all ships at that time must be overloaded with crews in case of emergency.

But this has caused the original problems of poor sanitation and insufficient food to become even worse.

However, even if luck is overwhelming, it does not mean that the sailors will get the wages they deserve.

The captain can think of all kinds of clever reasons to deduct sailors' wages every time, for example, the loss of cargo caused by storms is often recorded on their heads. Some captains will pay in colonial currency equivalent to half the value of the pound sterling.

The navy's salary will not be received until the next time it goes to the navy to serve in the navy. If after the first voyage, if you vowed to no longer have any ties with the navy, then the last salary can only be counted as "disappearing the sea". Inside".

It is also because of the above-mentioned series of backgrounds and the existence of unspoken rules of pirates.

Therefore, the captain who can follow the tenth criterion of the "Piracy Code" will be regarded by the majority of pirates as a symbol of benevolent governance and enlightenment!

"On my ship, all rules strictly follow the "Piracy Code"." Chen Feng said loudly to all the new and old pirates standing on the pontoon.

As soon as the voice fell, the crew exchanged their eyes, almost suppressing their inner ecstasy.

They certainly knew that in the vast ocean, the pirate ship, far away from civilization, was an extremely separated entity. Even the captain could not guarantee absolute control of the ship's condition at all times, let alone an illusory code.

But this does not mean that the code is in vain. After all, in a situation similar to the pirate guild, the code still has absolute authority, and no one wants to bear the infamy of betraying the ancestor in front of everyone.

Therefore, the original intention of the "Piracy Code" is to regulate the behavior of many pirates, although it is not naively superstitious that it is really so omnipotent. But to a certain extent it did accomplish this task,

"Papa."

Some pirates actually took the lead and clapped excitedly.

In their eyes, although Chen Feng is not knowing whether Chen Feng is telling the truth or not, since the three chapters can be negotiated in this way from the beginning, it is definitely better than those captains who mentioned that they would not follow Article 10 of the "Piracy Code". Several times!

"Then, sir, please allow me to recommend myself now. Although I am a woman, I bet that most of the sailors here are not as experienced as I am. Gibbs can testify to this." Anna Marie raised her delicate eyebrows and believed in herself. .

Chen Feng turned his body slightly and glanced at Gibbs.

Gibbs immediately said: "Yes, Anna really has the ability to control sails, let alone Tortuga, even the entire Caribbean can't find a few comparable to her."

"Okay." Chen Feng nodded when he heard the words, and said to Anna Marie: "You have been admitted."

"Thank you." Anna Marie put on her wide-brimmed hat and bowed, "I will do my best."

After speaking, she lowered her head, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
