This counting took more than half an hour. Although the ship came from India, it bypassed Africa for supply. After processing half of the goods in Africa, it purchased 130 black slaves and then headed north to the town of Vavalon, replenished fresh water and food before finally reaching the UK.

"We counted it. There were thirty-five bags of food on the ship, and many porcelain and jadeite, which were for use by the British royal family. In addition to these, we found a box of gold coins in the captain's room. Cindy and I estimated the price, and the total value was about £25,000."

Cindy and Thomas finished counting and reported their financial status to Zhang Yang.

This price was considered a fortune in Britain at that time. In Zhang Yang's memory, the price of a fourth-class sailing battleship was only about 26,000 pounds.

In the Age of Discovery, steamships had not been invented, and all ships were wooden sailing ships. The British maritime overlord set this ship six levels for easy planning.

It is interesting to note that the famous Black Pearl and Queen Anne’s Revenge are just a three-masted fifth-class ship. The flying Dutchman is equivalent to a fourth-class warship, which is already very rare among pirates.

Most ordinary pirate ships are sixth-level, five-level battleships or merchant ships that are snatched from, and their combat effectiveness is not too high. In the movie world of Pirates of the Caribbean, the most powerful one should be the British Royal Fleet's Ultimate, which belongs to the East India Company, equivalent to the first-class battleship. In Pirates of the Caribbean 3, they were destroyed by the Black Pearl and the flying Dutch.

The Helen, occupied by Zhang Yang, is a medium-sized transport ship. It has two decks for loading goods and commodities. Its combat power is about the level of a sixth-level warship. However, because it is not a special warship, it is a merchant ship modified with artillery to defend pirates, so its actual combat power is not too high. The main thing is to carry cargo.

"According to the standard configuration of 1 captain, 1 chief mate, sailor leader, 1 carpenter, and 17 sailors, you can probably have £20,000 left if you remove the commission and normal expenses of the sailor."

The prices in this era seemed very expensive, which made Zhang Yang a little amazed. Thomas skillfully planned to hand a form in front of Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang took a rough look and then remembered it in his mind.

After the inventory of the goods, Cindy's father, Uncle Valen, also came here.

"You two little guys actually secretly robbed a ship without telling me."

He was also a captain when he was young. He naturally loved the ship very much. This time, Zhang Yang and Cindy left. He may never come back. Zhang Yang gave time to Uncle Valen and Cindy.

What surprised Zhang Yang was that Uncle Valen brought a large package.

"There are a few clean clothes inside, made according to your figures and Cindy. You don't know when you will be back when you walk. Be careful when you are on the way and be careful to be on guard against other pirates. When you encounter any problems, ask Thomas more. He is a good sailor and has a lot of experience. If I weren't old, I'll go with you."

Uncle Valen's instructions made Zhang Yang feel a little nostalgic. Under Uncle Valen's urging, Zhang Yang changed into a better dress and a triangle hat, which was the kind that Captain Jack wore. It looked like it really looked like a pirate captain.

Cindy and Thomas also changed into their own clothes, and then Uncle Valen took out a few steps from the package, took out a few things and handed them to Zhang Yang.

"It's the first time you've been a captain. You have no experience. Be careful. These three things I have left before are essential items to go to sea, compass, telescopes, and pocket watches. There are Thomas's navigation charts to sea. He worked part-time as a watch hand when he was young and can help you lead the way."

Zhang Yang nodded. Uncle Valen's words were all about experience. He brought three things over. The style was very old, but it was well maintained.

"Thank you, Uncle Valen, I promise here that you will bring Cindy back to see you."

"Haha, this is Captain Zhang Yang's promise to me, and he cannot break his promise."

Uncle Valen and Cindy, in the next few hours, were busy recruiting sailors and selling goods. Two-thirds of the goods were sold, about 1,000 pounds. Because they were sailing on a long voyage and were the first crew members, the price offered by Uncle Valen and Thomas was twice as high as that of ordinary sailors, and successfully attracted many people to participate.

What is the purpose of the pirates' adventure? Of course, it is to make more money.

In order to encourage everyone, the sailors' remuneration was paid on the spot, and they were immediately spent 3,000 pounds. Then they bought food, fresh water, some easy-to-preserve meat and fish, and of course the most common rum, and some gunpowder and guns. In order to prevent the growth of bacteria and diseases, Zhang Yang hired people to clean up the bottom cabins where the black slaves were detained, and spent more than 1,000 pounds.

As for the original crew members, Zhang Yang handed them over to these people to deal with at the request of the black slaves, just so he could do it himself. As for the fate of these people, it probably wouldn't be very good.

After a busy morning, at noon, everyone had finished sorting out the things on the boat. The crew members had already taken their place. Under the leadership of Cindy, they only needed to raise the anchor to leave. Before leaving, Zhang Yang secretly handed Uncle Valen 2,000 pounds to him, asking him to leave the town of Valen and leave the future contact method. Who knows whether the East India Company will come to take revenge? Be careful.

This three-masted wooden boat gradually disappeared from people's eyes. Many years later, the town of Vavalon became a big town, but a mysterious stone statue was erected in the center of the town. It was an oriental man holding a sword. It seemed to be a captain. There was a mysterious legend on him.

"From the town of Vavalon, a legendary Eastern Pirate King came out of...."

The Helen soon drove away from the Vavalon port, Zhang Yang stood on the deck, feeling the scent of the sea breeze, and behind him were busy sailors.

"Ah, the sea is full of water."

Zhang Yang was in a very happy mood at this moment and couldn't help but think of this likable poem. On the vast sea, he was driving an ancient wooden sailboat. It felt like buying a sports car in the modern world and hiring it on a flat road, which was very happy.

"Captain, we are now moving down the wind, the direction of the water flow is consistent with our route. If there is no accident, we will be able to reach Turtle Island in five hours."

"Yeah, I get it."

Thomas reported the situation behind Zhang Yang, and returned to the deck to direct the sailors to start busy. Now there was the sun, so the sailors began to scrub the floor with towels and clean up the stains on the wooden boards.

Cindy counted the remaining cargo and began to take the carpenter to check the hull.

Their direction is northeast, and there is a unique island in this sea area called Turtle Island, also known as Torti Island. This island is located in the Caribbean Sea, where pirates from all over the world are gathered, not under the jurisdiction of any third party forces, and it is a paradise for pirates.

Zhang Yang's choice of Turtle Island as his first stop is related to his mission. First, he needs to increase his reputation among pirates, and he needs to be recognized by one of the nine pirate kings or one of the three legendary warships. It is almost certain that this condition refers to Jack Sparrow.

Jack Sparrow is not only one of the nine pirate kings, the owner of the legendary battleship Black Pearl, and the hero of this world. It is naturally more confident to choose him than some unknown guys.

The combat effectiveness of his merchant ship is not too high. It is as ridiculous as a one-year-old child who wants to surpass Liu Xiang's 100-meter hurdle.

Uncle Valen said that Jack might have been imprisoned in prison, but the prison was not clear. The best place to find out about this kind of information is Turtle Island where pirates gather, and the little blacksmith Wiltner. When looking for Jack, he also started looking for Turtle Island.

Zhang Yang stood at the bow of the ship. No one except Cindy and Thomas dared to rashly go up and disturb him. These sailors all witnessed Zhang Yang's previous events and knew that Zhang Yang had magical abilities and could turn a scimitar out of thin air.

While thinking about what would happen next, Zhang Yang had time to check his information. The first thing was the title of the captain.

"Captain's title: After entering the Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time, you can get it after you have completely owned a medium-sized ship."

"Basic effect of title: morale, deterrence."

"Moran: Under your leadership, the morale of your own crew members increases, the chance of fighting flight is reduced, and the chance of enemy crew members increases."

"Deterrence: Under your leadership, the crew's obedience to you increases, the riots occur, the chance of defection decreases, and the surrender rate of the enemy crew increases."

"Special effect: bonus, this effect is a hidden effect, and does not include the basic effect of the captain's title."

"This effect requires you to have a medium-sized ship within 12 hours after entering the Pirates of the Caribbean world for the first time. There is only one chance to get it. If it fails to turn on, you can re-activate it with 2 golden points."

"Additional bonus (permanently effective): After equipping this title, the wearer can obtain a temporary enhancement amplification effect, which will only take effect on the ship where the captain is currently located. The wearer will disappear after leaving the ship. The effect type of this skill can only be selected once. Change the type requires 1 golden point."

"Amplification effect selection list: The ship's water movement speed increases by 5%, the hull's firmness increases by 5%, the gun range increases by 5%, and the gun power increases by 5%.

"The bonus effect increases as the captain's reputation increases. The basic bonus effect is 5%. For every 200 points increase in reputation, the bonus effect is 1%, and the maximum bonus limit is: 50%.
