Taicoon Wu is the chief pirate of Turtle Island, and a Ten-gong Taicoon in Missee Lee.
He was on British merchant ships as a Boy, Deckhand, then Bo’sun; he used to assist the Captain taking the meridian, so knows a sextant when he sees Captain Flint’s sextant in its box, after Captain Flint and John have taken a reading. You fool Missee Lee .... You no fool Taicoon Wu (ML21)
