Sort the plundered property into categories, then use the clothes of the dead to wipe off the blood on the hands, strip the corpses naked and throw them into the sea.
At this time, under the instruction of Chen Feng, the first mate Gibbs shouted to the remaining captured crew members:
"Who is the captain! Is the captain still alive?!"
Few of the merchant seamen were kneeling on the ground covered in injuries. They looked at each other and dared not speak.
Everyone was silent for a while, and one hand was raised from the crowd.
"I!"
I saw one standing up tremblingly in luxurious clothes, trying to look at Chen Feng and others with aristocratic contemptuous eyes.
When he was pushed forward by the shark and others, he still held his head up meaninglessly, which caused the crew of the Jackdaw to laugh again and again.
"You're the captain?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes." The man nodded.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Captain Benjamin McCarthy, please tell me, do you know what ship you just attacked?!" He tried to straighten himself up.

Chapter 227 Privateer Captain!Her Majesty's Extra Soldiers!
"Congratulations to the reincarnation 'Chen Feng' for winning the first sea plunder battle!"
"You won 500 pirate points for this piracy, and the extra loot you got is as follows: 140 units of wood, 140 units of steel, 140 units of cloth, 15 heavy shells, 5 mortar shells, and 7 transformable crew members !"
Chen Feng's first battle after coming to the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and also the first battle of Jackdaw's appearance, ended in a complete victory.
Faced with the powerful artillery fire from the Jackdaw and the heroic boarding and boarding battle by the pirate crew, the ship called the "Edinburgh Merchant" was almost powerless and was defeated immediately.
After winning the first battle, although Chen Feng felt a little sense of accomplishment, he was not as excited and enjoyable as expected.
Because this naval battle is not as grand and thrilling as it is shown in the movie.
The 18th century naval battle imagined by many people should be two huge ships painted in gold and red or white and black, cannon-style sailing battleships fighting each other amidst gunfire and smoke.
However, the reality is that the scenes where sailing battleships often shoot each other in movies have never appeared in the pirate chronicles of the Caribbean.
In Chen Feng's previous life, someone once joked that the scale of war in the Warring States of Japan was actually on the level of a village chief's war.
Similarly, in fact, the pirate melee in the Caribbean Sea in the 18th century can also be described as the ocean version of the village chief's battle. Generally speaking, it is basically small boats fighting.
But this does not mean that the strength of pirates is not enough. During the golden age of the pirate kingdom, piracy was so rampant that it almost blocked the connection between Europe and the New World.
The real big ships, the big ships used by the Royal Navy, with their layers of heavy cannon and lumbering wooden bunkers, don't make much of an actual naval battle.
Because most of the large ships carry the role of deterrence and national strength, there are great shortcomings in confrontational naval battles, too slow and too inflexible!
If there is no reference, it can even be considered that these ships are standing still on the sea.
Large ships are too inflexible to be useful in escorting merchant ships, attacking enemy shipping lines, or patrolling the reef-strewn Caribbean Sea.
There is only one aspect of a large battleship that is truly domineering - and that is powerful artillery equipment.
They can only be most lethal if they are lined up in a large naval battle and then bombarded with cannons from a distance.
Otherwise, it is tasteless in naval battles, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard.
Without large battleships, aren't the remaining pirate ships, merchant ships, and cruisers just pecking at each other?
In addition, Chen Feng felt that there was another point that was not good, that is, he couldn't pretend to be like Tarzan in the side battle.
In the original movie, Jack often swings from one ship to another with a rope and then engages in close combat, which feels very cool.
But it is impossible in reality. The width of the two ships is actually very large, and it is impossible for a person to swing from one ship to the other.
Even if you can pull the sling and swing over the enemy ship to have a good time, it is not so chic.
Let alone wanting to pull a rope and swing onto the opponent's boat requires excellent physical fitness, knowledge of physics and luck.
That is to say, when swinging past, a person is basically a living target in mid-air, and in the end it is very likely that he will fall into the mud and be killed by a knife.
Therefore, such a heroic scene will not appear in the actual boarding battle.
In reality, when a pirate ship paralyzes the opponent's ship, most of the time the pirate ship will approach the ship and shoot at the opponent's splint with small-caliber cannons and guns to remove the rebels from the splint.
The pirates would then paddle their boats aboard the plundering ships and plunder them.
In rare cases, there will be a rope hook to fix the distance between the two ships, and the plank will not be built until the guns and guns are about the same.
Therefore, most pirate ship snatches in reality are prioritized by negotiations, there are no fancy weapons, no pirates flying over the walls, and the final snatch has to be rowed over.
The operation that Chen Feng just led the Jackdaw to complete is already considered the highest standard battle scene in the pirate plunder.
To this level, for Chen Feng, who had killed 80 zombies by himself, it was naturally not even a warm-up.
......
"Hoo-hoo-!"
There was silence, the sound of the waves beating against the hull, and the breeze blowing the masts and rigging.
"I'm Captain Benjamin McCarthy, please tell me, do you know what ship you attacked just now?!" The man in gorgeous clothes tried to straighten himself up.
"A merchant ship."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows in disdain, wanting to see what other interesting things this man could say.
McCarthy said righteously: "It is a merchant ship of the East India Company! You should know that we are protected by the British Royal Fleet."
The red flag on the deck, cut off and dirty and crumpled, was proof of this fact.
"When you threatened us with artillery to stop, you were on the point of no return, sir."
"You will have nothing to do with the privateer captain, you will all be wanted, Her Majesty's fleet will pursue you, the navy will arrest you all, and then hang you at the Faith Dock on the Thames, and your bodies will be in London. Show it off to the public!"
The privateers that McCarthy said refer to pirate ships that have been chartered by the royal family.
Seeing the Portuguese and Spaniards wantonly plundering the wealth of the New World, Britain thought of recruiting privateers to rob other countries' ships along the coast to prevent their prosperity.
When the theft is approved by the royal family, it is justified and will not be held accountable.
