# 1 -iPirates yayinendawo eyomeleleyo kwesona sixeko sikhohlakeleyo eMhlabeni
IPort Royal, eJamaica, yayakhelwe abaphangi. Idolophu yayinezibuko elikhuselekileyo, abezopolitiko abakhohlakeleyo kunye nabantu basezidolophini, kunye nemigaqo yokuziphatha eyayibonakala idlulile eSodom naseGomora. Iipokotho ezikhuselekileyo ngobuncwane obbiweyo, ipirate yayinokuthenga nantoni na kwizitrato zasePort Royal ezigoso, ezikwicala leenqanawa, kodwa into ayithengileyo yayihlala ingabasetyhini kunye notywala.
Ngasihlandlo sithile, esinye sezakhiwo ezine ePort Royal yayisisihombisi okanye indawo yokusela. Kwidolophu enabemi abangaphantsi kwamawaka amathathu, i-brothel yodwa iqeshe oonongogo abangamashumi amabini anesithathu. Omnye wabo, uMary Carleton, kwathiwa uqhelekile njengesihlalo somchebi: kwakungekabikho mntu uphumayo kodwa omnye ungene.
Imali yePirate ayizange ihlale ixesha elide ePort Royal. Ngokwembali-mbali yelo xesha, iwayini nabafazi baburhola ubutyebi babo kangangokuba, ngexeshana elincinci, abanye babo bancitshiswa bangqiba. Baye baziwa ngokuchitha ama-2 okanye ama-3,000 amaqhekeza wesibhozo ngobusuku obunye kwaye omnye wanika umtya wama-500 ukumbona ehamba ze.
Abaphangi babesela njengamakhwenkwe angamakhwenkwe, kwaye bafuna ukuba nawe ujoyine. Amaxesha amaninzi, babethenga ikhonteyina ye-105 yeelitha zewayini, bayibeke esitratweni, banyanzelise abadlulayo ukuba bangene. Nditsho nezikhwenene zazo zazisela. Olunye undwendwe luchaze indawo apho izikhwenene zePort Royal zihlanganisene khona ukuze zisele kwizitokhwe ezinkulu ze-ale zine-alacrity engako njengamanxila ahlala esiya kwiivenkile eziyisebenzelayo.
Amadoda anyanisekileyo ayengenakuzinceda ePort Royal. Omnye umfundisi wabhala: Le dolophu yiSodom yeHlabathi elitsha kwaye kuba uninzi lwabemi bayo inabaphangi, abasikiweyo, oonongogo kunye nabanye babantu abakhohlakeleyo kwihlabathi liphela, ndavakalelwa kukuba isigxina sam akukho sebenzisa.
Loo ndoda yahamba. Kodwa abaphangi bahlala.
# 2 - IPirates ayenzanga ukuba amadoda ahambe ngeplanga
Ukunyanzela indoda ukuba ihambe ngeplanga kwakufuna umzamo omkhulu- kunye nomdlalo weqonga-kunokuba bekuyimfuneko. Ukubulala umntu, kwakulula kubaphangi ukuba bamqhekeze ngekrele okanye bamdubule ngevolovolo, emva koko baphose umzimba wakhe elwandle-- akukho ngxwabangxwaba, akukho ngxabano, akukho ngxaki. Kwihlabathi labaphangi, ngokulula phantse bekuhlala kusebenza ngcono.
# 3 - IPirates ayikhange ithi i-Arrgh okanye iShiver me amaplanga- kodwa ayemnandi ngokufunga
Uninzi lweengxoxo zepirate ozaziyo zivela kwiimovie. Eyona nto bayithethileyo ibingcono, ngakumbi isiqalekiso. Nazi ezinye izifungo ezimbi onokuthi uve ukuba unganqumla kwi Ipirate yeGolden Age :
-Yitya into ewa emsileni wam!

-Ndiza kucanda ukhakhayi lwakho phakathi!
-Ndizokusika kwisiqingatha seeponti!
-Ndivela esihogweni kwaye ndiza kukuthwalela khona ngoku!
# 4 - Abasebenzi bePirate babandakanya abamnyama, amaJuda, amaIndiya, kunye nabanye abambalwa- kodwa akukho bafazi
Ukuba unakho ukunceda abaphangi ukuba bebe ungazibandakanya nabasebenzi babo. Abasetyhini, nangona kunjalo, babengamkelekanga- babejongwa njengeziphazamiso ezinkulu ngabaphangi, kwaye isohlwayo esiqhelekileyo sokufihla umntu owayekhwele yayikukufa. (Bekukho abafazi abambalwa abaphangi, kodwa bebenqabile — bane okanye abahlanu bayaziwa ukuba basebenze ngexesha leGolide.)
# 5 -iPirates yayinesicwangciso esikhulu sabasebenzi
Ubu Piracy yayilishishini elinobungozi kwaye ukwenzakala kwakuyindawo eqhelekileyo; Ilungu elinye elilahlekileyo okanye iso elikhuhliweyo linokuphelisa umsebenzi wepirate. Ukukhuthaza abaphangi ukuba bangathandabuzi edabini- nangaphandle kokulunga- uninzi lwabaphangi bahlawula abasebenzi abonzakeleyo ngesixa esimiselweyo. Kwinqanawa enye yeepirate, nantsi into eyonakeleyo:
-Ingalo yasekunene elahlekileyo amaqhosha esilivere angama-600 okanye amakhoboka amathandathu
-Kulahlekile ingalo yasekhohlo amaqhosha esilivere angama-500 okanye amakhoboka amahlanu

-Ukulahleka okanye umlenze wesikhonkwane Kuyafana nokuba kulahlekile ilungu lomlenze wokuqala
(Akukho zirekhodi zokuba ngaba abaphangi babethande ukuphulukana nemilenze esekunene ukuze bafumane amaqhosha esilivere ali-100 kunye nekhoboka elinye.)
# 6 - IPirates ayibuthandi ubundlobongela (kodwa hayi ngezizathu onokuziqikelela)
Abaphangi be-Golden Age bayayazi indlela yokuzisa iintlungu. Ukuqinisekisa ukapteni ongumrhwebi ukuba anikezele, banokumcinezela amehlo akhe kwiziseko zabo, bamgubungele kwilitye lokubhaka, bambophe ngentambo ukuze ayiqinise entloko amehlo akhe aphume, asike impumlo yakhe. Ukuba ayenzanga iqhinga, banokusika kwaye batye intliziyo yakhe esabethayo.
Kodwa babengafuni.
Ubundlobongela, njengoko kunjalo kwi-mafia kunye neminye imibutho yolwaphulo-mthetho, yayingalunganga kwishishini leepirate. Ngokwenza umlo nexhoba, abaphangi babeka emngciphekweni wokonzakala kwiinqanawa zabo kunye nokwenzakala kubasebenzi babo. Ikwabenze ukuba bajolise ngakumbi kunyanzeliso lomthetho. Eyona nto ingcono, uninzi lwabaphangi beyazi, ukwenza ukuba abantu ekujoliswe kubo banikezele ngoxolo-kwaye bazibandakanye nabo- kunokuba baphalaze igazi elwandle. Xa ubundlobongela beyimfuneko, nangona kunjalo, babenokuhambisa ngeedosi ezoyikisayo, hayi nje ukuphumelela usuku, kodwa ukwenza esi silumkiso kwabanye: musa ukungxakana nabaphangi.
# 7 - Iinqanawa zePirate zezinye zeedemokhrasi zokuqala
Inkulungwane ngaphambi kokuba le mbono ibambeke eMelika, iinqanawa zabaphangi yayizidemokhrasi. Uninzi lwabaphathi beenqwelomoya babenyulwa ngabasebenzi kwaye banokuvotelwa nanini na. Indoda nganye eyayikhwele yayinelungelo lesabelo esilinganayo sokutya, utywala, kunye nezinye izibonelelo. Abaphathi babedla ngokungafumani ngaphezulu kwesibini okanye kathathu kunaleyo ye-deckhand ephantsi kwaye kunqabile ukuba babenekhabhathi.
Uninzi lwazo zonke, iipirate zivotile.
Bavotele into yokweba, indawo yokuhamba ngenqanawa, nokuba kuyiwa e-maroon okanye ukudubula abarhwebi, indlela yokuvuza ubukroti emfazweni, nokuba ujoyine imikhosi kwenye inqanawa, wenzeni ngamabanjwa, xa ilixesha lokuchithwa. Kwaye ivoti nganye yendoda ithwele ubunzima obulinganayo. Ukuba ipirate yayingayithandi, wayenokuhamba. Kwaye ukuba ukapteni wayengayithandi?
