The Black Flag fluttered at the bow, and Zhao Xiaoyi closed his eyes, remembering Tianbao's words in the Martial Arts Hall that day.
"In the past, the Five Flags shared the same root and origin. The heads of the Five Flags were once great generals under King Yanping, but now the Five Flags have withered. Xu Longsi, Bai Tianying and the like, having fallen to become the dogs of the officials, naturally do not deserve to be the heads of the Five Flags. I plan to reorganize the Five Flags, to select new heads from among you leaders, to gather together the remnants of the pirates scattered by the government over the past six years. This will allow for easier coordination,"
"Among the sixteen leaders, I naturally remain as the Red Flag Head, Xue Ba, Hu Bailing, and the other leaders, as well as all the ships and sailors under the eight hundred captains will retain the Red Flag."
