Pirates??

Children would often scurry along in their mum's arms whenever their uncle and dad would join forces calling themselves "pirates" as they continuously yell "YARR, GIVE ME YE TREASURE!"

Well darlings, you have a long way to go if you think pirates are just some fictional character off of Peter Pan

The greatest heist in history by the one and only

The KING of Pirates

named

Henry Avery.

and of course without the help of his lovely ally, Thomas Tew , he couldn't have been the richest pirate of all.

short story short

Thomas Tew: no confirmed biography with any strong evidence. He apparently was married and had 2 daughters and 2 daughters. 1692, he gained his own ship, named Amity, sailed with 46 ish men.

Stumbled upon Henry and BAM!

Henry Avery!

He was once working for England's Royal Navy for a year [1689-1690]. Around 1693 Charles II got Henry as his first mate and of course, no declining to that of such large opportunity

anyways, shit got screwed over, failures happened, they didn't receive any letter of marque [letter that authorizes a person/group of people to attack and capture other ships] from Madrid

so Henry Avery took over the ship, named it Fancy and sailed seas

Wouldn't it be such a sight seeing men waving swords fighting for treasure and pride, as big cannons shoot from below a ship

There would probably be stacks on stacks on stacks of dead men but still the idea of such medieval way of fighting and PIRATES! it's absolutely interesting.

Fancy, Henry's ship, sailed to Comoros Islands, taking over French vessels, escaped east indian men,

allied with a few more ships and full on faced 25 vessels yeS 25 VESSELS

of course in these allies, were Thomas Tew

now, Thomas had 50 -65 ish men and that is a lot to say the least, now before this alliance he had already kept a few treasures whereas in pirate world, if the owner is dead, anyone could possibly claim the remaining treasures

and yes, Thomas died during battle, including tons of the other men who fought by their side

leaving the few that lived, and Henry Avery, to claim the remaining treasures.

Henry succeeded in defeating enemies and lead Henry in completely losing his mind, the crew raped women, tortured people, which got the captives into committing suicide, stabbing themselves and jumping off the ship, rather than meeting the same fate as to those who died of rape and torture.

So of course, the enemies where rather salty because they lost men and treasures and so the Privy Council and the East India Company demanded they'd be hunted down

and man! He was literally hunted worldwide! Henry caused the largest manhunt in all of history.

but sometimes, not everyone gets to take a win,

They've succeeded in capturing the crew of Henry, but never getting a hold of the man himself.

Up till now, historians haven't confirmed whereas his remains are left, or where he lived after escaping the hunt.

If you ask me, he probably lived in an isolated area where no human should be, probably some island of sorts? or somewhere deep in the jungle?

We'll never know what happened to him but, his blood and genes may have been passed on.

Whether he had kids, or had a wife, or died a unbelievable death bathing in riches.

I can assure you he lived life hanging off a cliff

Well, if there's anything you'd learn from this, not everything is true and not everything is false

Pirates are true! maybe in a few years we'd confirm human mutilation and form some sort of half human half horse mixture!

((or maybe this just caught your eye because you played uncharted 4 and you were like

OH YES HENRY AND THOMAS THEY POISONED THEIR ALLIES FOR TREASURE AND KILLED EACH OTHER HIDING THE REST OF THE TREASURES IN LIBERTALIA

but apparently there aren't any strong evidences yet but maybe Libertalia exists?! oh my I HAVE TOO MUCH QUESTIONS))

Who knows? maybe Pirate blood runs within you?

Maybe William Kidd's? Maybe even Thomas'? Or maybe, the Pirate king's blood itself?
