  Barl sneered coldly: "Nia, you fool, shouting out the entire Hamilton Code at the top of your lungs. Are we still going to wait here leisurely for the Coastal Defense Corps to invite us over for tea?"

  "But Hamilton's Code is only known to us pirates, others won't know it!" said Bill.

  Ba Er turned his head and looked at him, sneering: "Are you sure? Is there anything in this world that can be truly kept secret?"

  Bill was speechless.

  "Enough! I've made up my mind. Set sail at once, no more delay! Go and cast off the mooring ropes, hoist the sails, and weigh anchor!"

  William grabbed Ball's shoulder: "Captain Ball, have you gone mad? We haven't resupplied yet! With Wells and the others added in, we'll drink all the fresh water and eat all the dry rations within three days!"

  "Right," Bill agreed, "it's ten days to the next port and we'll be dead halfway there!"

  Barlow fell silent, he pondered for a moment, raised his head and said to William and Bill: "You raise the sails, get ready to set sail at any time, I'll take a few people to replenish water and food!"

  William and Bill exchanged a glance, responded loudly, turned their heads around, and shouted at the other sailors.

  The deck was once again a scene of bustling activity, with some sailors who had been looking forward to going ashore to have fun letting out a sigh of disappointment that echoed across the land.

  In Nia's room, after Tangie and Nia leaned against the door of the room and kissed for a while, he held Nia in his arms and chuckled softly: "Do you have something to explain to me?"

  Niya opened her bright eyes and looked at Tang Jie: "About Wells?"

  Tang Jie shook his head: "No, about Hamilton's Code! What is Hamilton's Code?"

  Nia smiled: "The whole world knows that the former king of the sea was Atos, but not everyone knows that Hamilton was once the creator of the sea law."

  "As soon as there were ships on the sea, this world had pirates. At first, the pirates were unscrupulous and not only robbed any merchant ship they could see like a wolf pack, but also attacked any port they could attack, burning, killing, looting, and doing all sorts of evil, even turning against each other."

  The atrocities of the old pirates led to an unprecedented alliance of navies from various countries, and a terrible purge descended upon the pirates like a nightmare. Faced with superior forces, the pirates were split and hunted down in groups until finally, the remaining pirates gathered together in desperation and elected a highly respected pirate, Hamilton.

  "Hanmilton and the remaining pirates, in order to save their lives, were united as never before, and with a common enemy, they fiercely attacked the ports of these countries like ferocious wolves. Under Hanmilton's leadership, the pirates seemed to have divine assistance, never engaging in battle with the naval defense forces, but instead targeting weak ports, destroying their defenses, burning down houses, yet not indiscriminately killing innocent people."

  The war lasted for three months, the Allied forces were exhausted, their ports on the rear defense line were ablaze everywhere, and their long supply lines were constantly disrupted by the elusive pirates. The Allied forces were harassed to distraction by the pirates. In the end, both sides sat down together to negotiate. Hamilton represented the pirates in sitting at the negotiating table with the United Fleet, after repeated wrangling and negotiations, the pirates and the navy reached a consensus.

  "In the absence of pirate aggression against ports, the Navy no longer conducts sweeps for pirates, leaving a narrow gap for the pirates to breathe; and Hamilton assured the coalition that he would restrain the pirates' behavior, no longer allowing them to act recklessly. The pirates formulated their own code under Hamilton's restraint, which, like the warrior guild's warrior code and the magic association's mage code, restrained the pirates' actions. It is the law for all our pirates."

  "After this, the dark and chaotic world of pirates became orderly. Although pirates could no longer attack every port and plunder every merchant ship at will, their wealth decreased, but they would not be hunted down by the navy and suffer a catastrophic defeat. The pirates who survived to commemorate Hamilton's contribution called this code that saved their lives 'Hamilton Code', also known as 'Pirate Code'."

  To maintain the dignity and intimidation of the Hammilton Code, the pirates of the Seven Seas elected their strongest representatives to form the "Code Guardians Association", which represented the most sacred and inviolable dignity and power in the pirate world, and was passed down from generation to generation.

  Nina said this, as if recalling that chaotic and distant era, her expression was ethereal, her tone somewhat murmuring: "Pirate King Atos spread the pirate's reputation throughout every inch of land in this world, but Pirate Hamilton is the creator and founder of the pirate world's laws."

  Tang Jie had already sensed something was amiss by this point, and he knew that every industry has its own rules. Anyone who offends these rules will be collectively ostracized, and the pirate code is no exception.

  There is honor among thieves.

  "What is in Hamilton's code that Wells was so frightened when he heard it?"

  Nia smiled wryly: "The Hamiltonian Code has many rules, but the sixteenth one is: strictly forbidden pirates from engaging in any duel on board, otherwise, they will be severely punished by the guardians of the code!"

  Tang Jie suddenly enlightened: "Ah, I understand!" He thought for a moment and asked again in confusion: "Then what about the previous pursuers that Wells killed? Won't he be punished by the Hamilton Code?"

  Nia shook her head: "Since the birth of Hamilton's Code, there have only been 7 Code Guardians. Do you think 7 people can handle all the things in this pirate world? So, unless someone reports to the Code Guardians, they won't care about these things."

  Tang Jie was stunned, and suddenly he understood Nia's intention.

  As long as he and Wells fight, if Wells kills him, Nia will go to find the guardian of the law book and severely punish Wells!

  In this way, Nia can say that she and Wells are completely broken up, with no room for reconciliation!

  Tang Jie didn't think Wells had what it took to kill himself, but he was indeed moved by Niya's sincerity.

  He sighed: "What's the point of this? He can't kill me anyway. Besides, the ocean is so vast, where are you going to find the Guardian of the Law?"

  Niya gazed intently at Tang Jie, tightly embracing him, and murmured: "Before I met you, I dreamed of becoming the Pirate King every day. To pursue this unreachable dream, I turned myself into a man. Until I met you, I realized that I was still a woman. After breaking free from these shackles, there are so many joyful things in life. If you leave me, I don't know what I'll become..."

  Love is like a drug, once addicted, wanting to quit is truly heartbreaking, worse than death!

  Tang Jie gently stroked Nia's smooth golden hair, kissed her forehead, and was about to speak when suddenly a loud "boom" came from behind him. A hand burst through the door panel and tightly grasped his throat!

  "Wales let out a low growl, his teeth clenched in rage, like a wild beast: 'I'm going to kill you!!'"

  Tang Jie was suddenly startled and immediately knew it was Wells!

  Was this guy eavesdropping on them outside the door all along?

  Isn't he afraid of the deterrent force of the Pirate Code?

  Tang Jie's mind was quick-witted and his reaction was extremely fast, and in just an instant, he had figured out the cause and effect of this scene.

  The Pirate Code still holds great deterrent power over pirates, but if all laws could intimidate people, there would be no daring offenders in this world.

  The law has no deterrent effect on a person who is insane and extremely angry.

  Wales originally meant to give Tangie a little face in front of Nina, but who would have thought that he would hear Nina and Tangie's affectionate words, how could he not be jealous and furious?

  He had endured once before, but this time he could no longer hold back!

  Tang Jie felt that his arm was being strangled by something as hard as a tree branch, and it had just wrapped around him and was choking him to the point of almost losing his breath!

  He gave Nia a sudden push, then grasped the arm that was choking him with both hands and pulled it open with a jerk, creating a small gap in Wells' arm.

  Tang Jie took advantage of this slight gap, took a deep breath, and then sank his energy into his dantian. Every blood vessel and meridian in his body burst forth with a surge of power, layer upon layer, wave after wave, surging and rushing to gather at Tang Jie's elbow!

  He slightly shifted his body and threw a fierce iron elbow strike backwards!

  At first, Tang Jie had to put a human-sized wooden stake behind him to practice this move. Only when the thick wooden stake was broken with one swing of his elbow did he finally master the move.

  This tyrant's elbow is specially used to deal with enemies who are holding oneself from behind, the move is hidden and swift, powerful and sinking, people who get hit by it either have their internal organs shattered or their ribs broken, it is a truly ruthless killing move.

  Especially with Tang Jie's move, which also brought the fighting spirit, the powerful place, hadn't hit Wells' body yet, he already felt a sharp pain all over his body.

  Wells was startled and the arm around Tangie's throat unconsciously loosened.

  Right after that, with a loud crash, the door panel behind Tang Jie was smashed to smithereens by him, and wood chips flew everywhere!

  Wells retreated and although he didn't take the bait, it was right up Tang Jie's alley.

  Wales is a powerful third-class magic swordsman, but his strength lies in the spacious fighting environment of two people. When Wales has time to apply various magical assists to himself, his combat power will increase exponentially at that time, and Tangie will not be his opponent no matter what!

  But at this moment, Wales was blinded by jealousy and made the same mistake as the three-level swordsmen before him - underestimating his opponent!

  When he didn't add any extra magic to himself, his strength was the same as that of a third-class sword fighter.

  And in such a cramped environment of the cabin, it was extremely advantageous for Tang Jie, his fierce attack came one after another!
