Stolen Throne, no. No one was King before me, no one cared about Spain then. So the throne was earned and only with my loyal mateys was the Spanish East carved. I do not need to claim I am the greatest. I know there will always be greater, that is the nature of the game. Being the most powerful is not being the greatest, and the gold is nothing without a ports and ships to spend it on. The gold is only worth what you can buy and keep. I'm not invincible, I have lost ships, once. I was defeated by a legend and lost. To CDV I say you did what no other has done, so I salute your victory. I was lucky to have allies and voodoo to save most of my ships. It was then I learned a valuable lesson, the limits of my power. However that was months ago. I have surpassed my former strength (thanks to a few targets I commandeered from you and ZOMB) it was a lovely sale and it helped PK, not just me. You see I share my plunder. So when I take something from you, I have no investors to pay. I have no need to aggrandize my self, I use a bit and share a bit. Thus all of PK grows just a bit. When you strike one of us, we all respond, loyalty is something money cannot buy. I even send gold to new people when I see them low. I'm not a monster Doom Iris, just monstrous to you.
