actualy, the neretvan pirates were pretty hard core, from the ottoman egean islands to the ragusan sea all the way across the venetian held(officialy) dalmatian islands, they were something allright
they even had ''stealth technology'' - namely their boats had corks in them so you could hide a whole fleet just sinking then a few meters underwater
apparently people carried extra gold just to pay theyr extra fare if they got caught, othervise they would charge the price in arms
as in... arms... like, hands, with fingers and all... like pic related
so you know... people carried gold, venetians especialy
Bartholomew Roberts
Jean Lafitte. Cause he hung out in the area I live.
Anyone naming anyone other than Avery is a bona fide retard. He was the fucking king.
