Demon Royal Family

"Pirates? No, we don't do pirates."

Ivo's answer was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone looked puzzled. In their opinion, to develop quickly, becoming a pirate is the most convenient way. There are a large number of passing merchant ships in Shark Sea, and the innate conditions are very favorable. Even Pirates from the neighboring seas also go to the Shark Sea from time to time to plunder passing ships... This is also one of the reasons why the pirate power in the Shark Sea is underdeveloped.

"Although being a pirate is very free and convenient, it also has very disadvantages..." Ivo said with a smile: "Pirates are notorious and commit many crimes. Once you hang up the pirate flag, your reputation will drop to the bottom. If you become a big pirate, it will be even more... People are paying attention. All the major political powers have issued wanted notices for us. If we want to develop stably, we must remain anonymous, act in a low profile, and hide our capabilities and bide our time."

Ender looked confused, "What did you take out?"

"Pick your ears out and don't interrupt." Ivo said angrily: "We don't fly the pirate flag, but we also have to plunder. Pirates are not the only predators on the sea, privateers are also hungry and greedy. Beast."

Privateers and pirates are similar in nature but different. Pirates are pure plunderers and destroyers, while privateers' daily work is no different from that of caravans, like a sheep that eats grass honestly. However, when they find a suitable After hitting the target, it will reveal its fangs without hesitation, tearing the prey into pieces and devouring it.

Compared with flamboyant pirates, privateers do not fly pirate flags and are more concealed, so they have a higher success rate.

Ordinary pirates usually don't fly pirate flags, and they plunder only after they get close. However, an experienced captain can tell whether the other party is a pirate almost by looking at the ship. The characteristics of a pirate ship are very distinctive. The ship is dilapidated and the belly is full of pirates. The shells, seaweed, and moss marks are neglected, and the sailors on the deck are fierce and ugly, just like the wolf grandmother in Little Red Riding Hood, with almost no disguise.

However, the appearance of a privateer is neat and tidy, and it looks no different from a merchant ship. It is like a wolf pretending to be a wolf, harmless to humans and animals until it bites.

Privateers themselves are state-supported pirates, used to attack enemy maritime forces. This identity is more covert than pirates and can avoid a lot of trouble.

Ivo knocked on the table and said: "Since we want to change our appearance, we need a new flag."

Although the pirate flag is not flown, the flag is still indispensable. It is the spiritual symbol of the fleet, and it also allows passing ships to clearly identify the force they belong to.

"What style do you want?" Gavin asked.

Ivo closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "You copy the main flags of the Kingdom of Kuishang, the Empire of St. Malo, and the Southern Continent Federation, and we will change the flags."

Shark Sea has a unique geographical location and is connected to the surrounding waters of three continents. Hanging their flag will not arouse suspicion and can fish in troubled waters.

"The main flag is used to confuse. The secondary flag is our true symbol. You can decide the style yourself. Just don't be too ugly." Ivo said casually. Ships usually only fly the main flag, and few people will observe the secondary flag.

The main flag is used to confuse and enhance the secrecy, while the secondary flag is the real symbol. This method will not last long, but it can also confuse the neighboring forces in the Shark Sea for a period of time.

After finalizing the details, there are a total of fifteen preparations for heading to the Shark Sea. It will take several months to go from the Horn of Northland to the Shark Sea, so these things can be completed.

The crew was in full preparation, and the fleet bypassed Frigga and sailed towards the Shark Sea.

The next day, Gavin painted the main flag and the secondary flag. The main flags of the three major forces were placed aside and replaced at any time. The secondary flag had a white background and a ram's horn symbol was painted with dark paint in the center of the flag. It looked like There is a mysterious aura that seems to catch people's attention in an instant.

Gavin smiled and explained: "This has a meaning. Captain, you can use the power of the devil. The ram's horn is the symbol of the devil. It is obvious at a glance. I also thought of a name. Let's call it the Ram's Horn Privateers. What do you think?" "

The moment Ivo saw the flag, his heart skipped a beat. Without saying a word, he turned around and beat Gavin on his head.

Sheep horn, you sister, isn’t this the “￥” symbol of RMB? ! What do you mean? What do you mean? ! I almost thought you were from time travel too!

Gavin looked aggrieved and didn't know what he had done wrong. He covered his black and blue eyes and changed the flag with tears in his eyes.

The second version of the secondary flag was soon released, with a black background and a red spear piercing a white bear's head.

Gavin said carefully: "These are your transformation and weapons respectively..."

Ivo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he grabbed Gavin's ear and roared: "Are you damning me to death? Give me another one!"

Finally, Gavin, who looked aggrieved, presented the third version of the flag, with a black background and a white snowflake symbol painted on it. It had no characteristics at all...but it was very normal! It's so normal that it makes you want to vomit!

Ivo's head hurt, he held his forehead weakly and said, "Forget it...that's it."

Gavin muttered softly, "I still think the first one is better. People are obviously very satisfied and say..."

Ivo glared at him fiercely, and Gavin hurriedly covered his mouth and waved his hands, indicating that you are the boss and you have the final say.

"Since the flag is snowflakes, let's call it the Ice Privateers." Ivo said casually.

"Nothing special at all..." Gavin looked helpless.

"What we are doing is not a good thing. Do we want to be special and wait to be targeted and wanted?"

As long as it can develop, is the name important?

Ivo thought about this question carefully for a long time and rolled his eyes silently. It was really important. Just mentioning this name made him feel bad.

The name Hanbing is simply a bad name. There are countless pirate groups, adventure groups, and tour groups in the world called "Hanbing"!

Fortunately, even though the flag and name were corny, the crew was still very excited. At least they had a name and flag, which sounded much better than the "nameless" privateers... what the hell! It is clear that "nameless" is more powerful!

It's a pity that if the crew's protest is effective, then what else does the captain have to do?

Now that the name has been decided, Ivo hesitated for a while and then ignored it. Anyway, he can change it again in the future. He still doesn't know what kind of new nickname he will spell out in the future. There are only wrong names, but never wrong nicknames.

In addition to the flags, the exterior paint of the ships has also been changed. All the ships are painted in black, brown and red, which looks like a strong commercial atmosphere, inexplicably reminiscent of the leisure time of aristocratic afternoon tea.

Since he had to change his appearance, the appearance of himself and his subordinates also needed to be changed. The intelligence agencies of many forces knew that Barlow and Ender were his companions, and they used disguise dust to change their appearance.

Ivo was lazy and just put on a black iron mask that covered his entire face, leaving only two holes for his eyes. He wore a black three-cornered hat and a black crow cloak. The Wind Chaser wore two swords on his waist, hiding Under the crow cloak, the whole person looks very mysterious.

After completing the disguise, Ivo immediately ran behind Luna, covered Luna's eyes with his hands, pinched his throat and said hoarsely: "Guess who I am?"

Luna let him cover her eyes, but unexpectedly did not object to physical contact. She said expressionlessly: "You are so boring."

Ivo let go of his hand, looking surprised, "How did you find out?"

"Except for you, who on the whole ship has one red eye and one blue eye?"

"..." Ivo's head was full of black lines, and he suddenly felt like a fool.

At this time, the summons badge in his arms rang. A depressed Ivo took out the badge, and his expression suddenly changed. This was Nafi's summons.

(Anyway, I can’t tell Erha from a wolf...)
