Hearing this, the corners of Chen Feng's mouth slightly raised.
This girl's words are not rough.
That's right, I didn't take my Jackdaw out for a walk after I came to Tortuga, which inevitably made people feel that I was pretending to be a wolf with a big tail.
"Okay." Chen Feng clapped his hands, turned around, and faced the pier.
At the same time, summon the vehicle "Jackdaw" directly through the personal warehouse.
Immediately, an unimaginable change occurred at the barge point of a large ship that happened to be empty by the pier.
Layers of ripples were set off on the surface of the water, and the air became chaotic.
In the next second, like a large-scale scene magic, a rather "beautiful" ship appeared out of thin air.
Due to the draught of the barges near the pier, the water instantly overflowed the pontoon and washed the sailors' feet.
Facing the direction Chen Feng looked at, everyone couldn't help but marvel, and couldn't believe their eyes.
This is a 60-meter-long, 48.5-meter-high, 11.9-meter-wide brig with 26 sails.
At the same time, the Jackdaw is also equipped with 46 side-rotating guns, four bow guns and two swivel guns.
It carries a large number of powder kegs, heavy and mortar shells, and is equipped with an iron plate naval ram.
In addition, the Jackdaw is also equipped with a diving bell for exploring various underwater wrecks. There is also a whaling rowboat and a large number of harpoons on board. Chen Feng can use them to hunt local marine life.
Similar to most other ships in the Caribbean at the time, the Jackdaw also had a treadle hoist installed on its mast, which could be raised or lowered with a hook.
The Jackdaw also has many cleverly arranged swing ropes, which are tied to the sides of the deck and the transom, so that the crew can swing from the ship to and from the ship.
In short, this is a good ship that is known at first glance!
"Hey guys, what a beautiful boat!"
"I consider it a lifetime honor to serve on a ship like this!"
"The last time I felt this way was when I saw the Queen Anne's Revenge for the first time!"
Chen Feng turned around and grinned at Anna Marie: "How is it? Do you have any questions?"
Annamarie's eyes were full of longing and shock when she saw the Jackdaw appear, but she turned her head and pretended to be calm, and said in a theoretical tone:
"Then, I have another question. Dear Captain, I would like to ask you to tell the rest of us first, what kind of remuneration do you get for those who work for you? Other than genuine and fake gold coins."
Chen Feng smiled and said frankly: "On my ship, all rules strictly follow the "Pirate Code."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the newly recruited crew members and the rest of the sailors who had not yet been inspected were filled with ecstasy.
As we all know, the first ten articles of the "Pirate Code" stipulate the basic code of conduct for pirates, and one of them involves the distribution of loot.
[-]. Everyone has equal voting rights in all daily affairs.
[-]. Those who steal from their fellows will be abandoned on a desert island.
[-]. Gambling on board is strictly prohibited
8. Turn off the lights on time at [-] o'clock in the evening.

800. People who are disabled in battle can stay on board without working and receive [-] Spanish silver coins from the "public savings".
[-]. When distributing the spoils, the captain and helmsman shall have two shares, gunners, cooks, doctors, and bosuns may share one and one-half shares, and other officials shall share one and one-quarter shares, and common sailors shall each receive one share. point.

Chapter 221 People who go out to sea for fun, take visiting hell as a pastime!
"Pirate Code" is a tome that contains all the laws of the Pirate Guild compiled by the great pirates Morgan and Bartholomew in the classical pirate era.
The book consists of more than 1000 pages bound in parchment.
The cover was embossed and weighed over eighty pounds.
In the big world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is kept by Jack Sparrow's father, Tig Sparrow, the early Madagascar pirate king.
The codex entity keeps the padlock but does not use it, and the key is kept by a prison dog.
The Pirate Code is all-encompassing and contains many rules and guidelines for daily pirate life at sea, such as how to banish a person, useful rum recipes, and revisions for dominating the South China Sea.
The code even provides instructions on what to do if you are exiled.
One passage also mentions artifacts such as Poseidon's trident, weapons that pirates were strictly forbidden to possess because they were too powerful and dangerous.
Trading among pirates is also mentioned in the code, which allows pirates to freely buy and sell for profit.
The most eye-catching and often controversial article in the "Pirate Code" is Article [-], which clearly stipulates the distribution system of spoils for pirates to go to sea to plunder.
The captain and the first mate (helmsman) are divided in double.
The key positions of gunner, cook, doctor, and bosun (navigator) can be divided into one and one-half.
One and one-quarter shares for other employed persons.
Ordinary sailors get one each.
The portion 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 mate, and the remaining eight are ordinary sailors.
Two for the captain, two for the chief mate, a total of four, plus eight for eight ordinary sailors, a total of twelve.
Then the booty obtained from this piracy must be divided into twelve equal parts before being distributed. The captain and first mate each get two-twelfths, that is, one-sixth, and the rest each get one-twelfth.
This distribution ratio is extremely friendly to the crew. Even the captain with the highest status on the ship and the ordinary sailor with the lowest status, there is only a difference of one share of spoils.
This is a fairly fair, even extremely preferential system for crew members.
