It'd be interesting, however, from my 10 minutes of research Baron Raymondo and Marquis on Apprentice or Journeyman does not give any additional map info other than the 1 piece they usually give, in spite of the fact that the treasure maps are changed to give the full or half. Hint messages are usually a given if you have enough information. Additionally the popups from playing on Apprentice which would be the easiest difficulty and the fact that you can't choose your sword, and only get the longsword probably lowers the time a decent amount.

Very solid run, probably the best we're going to get.

I know that Surrounding the Yucatan Peninsula is generally a good place to look for NPs.

I'd say have Top Pirate be focusing on defeating the other 9 pirates.

Caribbean Conquest: Unite the Caribbean under one nation. Similar in concept to wipeout X nation however you are to deal with 3/4 nations and are more than likely going to run into a land battle with at least 1 city, would lead to run times more in between current Beautiful Wife, Any% and 126 fame, and Wipe Out Spain.

Yeah now you need to tie the WR in any% keep the tradition up. Good work btw glad to see my explanations helped!

Truly beautiful and truly based.
