The Nanban Trade was a genetic memory.

Description

One of Wang Zhi's pirate ships is leaving the west coast of Fukue Island to return to China. As so often happens, the Simulation begins with a white flash and muffled sounds that quickly acquire clarity. Soon, the muted sounds become a cacophony of raised voices, gunfire, and the clanging of blades. The information was accurate. The pirates are hosting an expedition of the Portuguese Rite of the Templar Order and transporting crates of matchlock arquebuses.
