The 158 Indecisive Pirates

Life was indeed becoming difficult, and now the pirates were full of regret. They were a large group of pirates from far away, and because the captain was a former navy commander, he knew naval tactics well.

This had allowed them to reap many rich spoils from plundering, and they were rarely cornered by military warships. Over time, they had accumulated a large amount of gold coins.

In theory, this retired navy commander was somewhat visionary; instead of squandering all his money, he saved a portion and bought a retired armed merchant ship that was no longer wanted by another country about a year ago.

He also used his old connections to keep two of the original cannons that the armed merchant ship had been equipped with.

As a result, his pirate ship became one of the few in the nearby seas that had cannons, which greatly increased the efficiency of their pillaging, and because it was a new ship, it was fast as well.
