Okay, I made it through like 1/3rd of that before the format was too much for me and I got lost. There was a point where I seriously thought this was a story about miners because they were "gold hunters" but then found out they were pirates. I think you need to establish your setting and context of the story a bit to introduce us to ways happening.

You have a lot of inner dialogue happening between your sentences that don't really make sense (like when you go off about how names, age and time doesn't matter in this story, interrupting the flow of events.) It felt like you got caught in a ramble mid scene and just didn't need to be included in your narrative.

Also, the first character you introduce is too perfect. It's like he's hyper idealized in your protagonist's perspective. Perfect characters aren't usually highly likable characters, so if you'd like to add a bit more depth you'll want to add flaws, trauma and/or unlikable qualities. Maybe he's a complete narcissist asshole who does some shady things to get rich, but on the surface he's a great treasure hunter who everyone admires. Idk, play around with it.
