Yes.

[Head tilts.] By protection, I meant it genuinely. As I said, we're hardly the worst pirate crew around. Big Mam directly charges her fees, but at least she still gets the job done. Most pirates don't want to manage islands, the marines are useless and unfortunately for the people, they have to choose a side to have faith in or they'll just get battered by an endless barrage of pirate raids, or even worse; slavers.

It's why people pay taxes in most places; except they expect the police to work. In the New World, that's more impossible.

Eh, mostly I try to organize trade systems, and squirrel funds away safely. As well as clean it so that the marines can't trace it, eh? I am a pirate, but the truth is, my Pops was very big-hearted. More than me, but I wouldn't want to ever disrespect his name. He actually tempered me a lot.

But still, it's a fine line. Too weak of a reputation and it just means enemy pirates think we're easy pickings and will try to fight us even more, or worse, hurt those we aimed to protect. That's why I keep it secret.
