Chapter 120

"Miss Katrina dipo, I'd like to introduce myself to you formally."

In the captain's room of the golden deer, Lorraine summoned Katrina for the first time. As soon as PU opened his mouth, people felt the seriousness of the conversation.

"My name is Lorraine, Lorraine Jonathan Drake, the abandoned son of England's hereditary Baron Drake family, the president of Plymouth Drake chamber of Commerce and the holder of privation license. Our chamber of Commerce was established last year. Its European Northwest branch is a permanent member of the English offshore Association, with more than a dozen ships and mature trade channels all over the northwest coast of Europe."

"As I said, I am a legitimate pirate and a wealthy businessman. My right to do business is given by the pound, and the right to plunder is given by his majesty Elizabeth I. It is sacred and inviolable."

Katrina listened quietly. This formal self introduction not only filled her understanding of Lorraine, but also enabled her to successfully refine the core of the whole paragraph, "legal pirates" and "established last year".

She recognized Lorraine's overtones.

The development of the chamber of commerce is like the growth of people. Even if the capital behind it is strong, it takes time to nourish it.

Reputation, contacts, business routes, etc

One year is obviously not enough for a new chamber of Commerce to quickly grow into a leader in the industry, but Drake chamber of commerce did.

Its growth rate far exceeds the effect of the word "pulling up seedlings to encourage".

To do this, the business subject of Drake chamber of commerce can only be robbery.

Lorraine must have a strong and fighting fleet, which Katrina experienced not long ago, as did Amy ferrard, who was waiting to die on the reef.

But he was very different from the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Robbery is the only means for pirates. The reason why they indulge in singing is largely because they are precarious. That is the reason why they are born in atrocities, become in atrocities, and will eventually die in atrocities.

For Lorraine, robbery is only one of the means.

His foundation is still in the chamber of Commerce. In the final analysis, all robberies and atrocities are to feed and ripen the chamber of Commerce.

Drake chamber of commerce is not a pirate. The Pirate Code cited by pirates as the Bible does not apply here in Lorraine, nor does he apply to the inevitable and tragic future faced by pirates.

That's what Lorraine wanted to say to Katrina. Do the pirate thing, not the pirate thought.

Katrina took a deep breath.

"So, Mr. captain? I've given you the right to decide whether to go or stay. If you think a woman who has been a pirate is not suitable to be a member of your ship, you can put me down at the next port, or... Hand me over to the local colonial governor."

"You misunderstood, Miss dipper." Lorraine looked at her with a smile. "I have a plan and haven't decided whether to implement it. You are the core of the plan, so I need you to fully understand what kind of group Drake chamber of commerce is, and rationally decide whether to give everything to the chamber of Commerce, not just to avenge the crew."

"Decide rationally?"

"The dispute of will and spirit is beautiful, but it can't give people the motivation to persevere. In case of regret in the future, it's not good for you, me and the chamber of Commerce." Lorraine crossed his fingers, "This conversation is about the formal investigation of your boarding application. I hope to hear you introduce yourself comprehensively and formally. If it involves privacy, you can not say it, but I never want to hear a lie."

"What if I don't want to say anything?"

"I'll take you to New Orleans. From now on, you'll be like a passer-by and have nothing to do with it."

"Is that so..."

Perhaps she was really tired of the pirate career. After a long silence, Katrina told Lorraine a story.

She is the daughter of the Barcelona ship king and the count of estamba. She was born in Spain and has a brother in her family.

Under the love and care of her brother, she acted recklessly in her childhood. With her brother, she learned equestrian, fencing, shooting and boating like the successor of Spanish knights. She was proficient in everything. She also raised a lively temperament and didn't like literature.

In order to make her more like a qualified noble lady, at the age of 13, her brother was sent by the count to the new world to join the army, and she was also thrown into the monastery to serve God and cultivate herself.

She hated the arrangement from the bottom of her heart.

After less than a week in the monastery, she made a major decision to change her life, escaped, cut off her long hair, dress up as a man, and go to the new world to run to her brother.

However, although she successfully mixed in the family's cargo hold and fled to the new world, she did not know where to find her brother, so she could only start her long wandering career in this strange land.

In order to survive, when she was young, she worked as a waiter in a bar, a postman in a post office, participated in a gang of thieves at the dock, and worked part-time as a sailor.

At the age of 15, she joined the Spanish colonial army in Peru. With her exquisite martial arts and marksmanship, she soon joined the sergeant class.

Her boss is a jerk, corrupt and cruel. He has no mercy on the soldiers. He often beats and scolds the soldiers after getting drunk for no reason, and even the tragedy that the soldiers were beaten to death by his whip.

One night, this happened again. It was a 13-year-old boy, a young man who worshipped and trusted Katrina.

Katrina launched a mutiny, stabbed the boss with her sword in the dark, and was stopped by his adjutant.

The two sides fought fiercely in the dark and were evenly matched. Katrina was seriously injured. At the moment of sunrise, she successfully stabbed the adjutant to death on the spot through his sudden absence of consciousness.

Lorraine found a trace of sadness under Katrina's calm expression.

"That adjutant... Is your lost brother, isn't he?"

Katrina smiled bitterly, "yes. The sun rose behind him. He saw me first, but I couldn't see him."

"I'm sorry..."

"It's my crime." Katrina's voice was low and motionless. "Brother and sister, my really damn boss ran away. I became a wanted man, escaped on a pirate ship, and began my pirate career."

She became a different pirate. She was brave, fearless, abandoned herself and didn't ask for anything. With these, she robbed the lives of many companions from death, and her prestige became higher and higher.

A year later, her captain was killed in a robbery. She was elected as the new captain. So far, she recovered her daughter and gained a reputation in the Caribbean.

Caribbean red rose, red haired Katrina, stigmatized saint, Pirate Queen

Ironically, she has never forgotten the spirit of chivalry. Her ship has never attacked Spanish ships. Even in order to rescue Spanish ships in distress, she has fought with almost all famous pirates in the Caribbean.

So six months ago, one of the seven pirate kings in the Caribbean died unexpectedly. She, Amy fillard and another famous new pirate force were selected by tortoise island as candidates for the pirate crown, received keepsakes and began to compete. That's why many things happened. She met Lorraine in bashiba town. Now

At the end of the story, Katrina looked at Lorraine and didn't say a word.

Lorraine frowned and thought for a long time: "miss Dibo, I can hear that brother Shouren's accident has been torturing you. I want to know how long it will take you to get out of your guilt?"

"Forever," Katrina replied without hesitation, "this sin will not be cleared until I go to hell."

"It seems that we need to put it another way. Are you still asking for death?"

"I have to live." Katrina closed her eyes. "When I first boarded the Shanghai pirate ship, I really wanted to die, but I didn't die. Countless times I nearly died and still lived. Let me know that my brother wanted me to live. He was a noble knight and only wanted to protect the Spanish people when he was alive. Now he is dead, this thing needs me to do, and I need strength."

Lorraine nodded gently. "The last question is, if our ship clashes with Spanish warships, which side will you stand on?"

"My brother swore to protect the king and protect the people. Will you fight against Spanish merchant ships?"

"If she doesn't take the initiative to provoke, I can give up the right to rob them."

Katrina smiled: "if so, I will always be your loyal crew."

"It seems that we have reached an agreement." Lorraine stood up and held out his hand to Katrina. "First mate, Ms. Katrina dipo, congratulations. You have been accepted."
