A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

Barbossa rolled his eyes, he's a pirate... ten years is too long for him.

If he were to stand in Davy Jones' shoes, no matter how beautiful and attractive Calypso was, he would not agree to be the captain of the Flying Dutchman.

The witch didn't look at him, so naturally she didn't know what he was thinking.

She just touched the white, pebble-smooth crab shell and smiled strangely.

"...The stars have shifted, and the years have passed... The heroes of this era... are about to return."

The sailors, who were still slowly getting restless, got up one by one and looked behind the dunes—something was moving there.

Soon, they got what they were waiting for... A big black boat suddenly appeared from behind the sand dunes, its sails were spread out, as if there was a gust of sea wind pushing it over the huge waves made of sand.

"I can't believe what I saw... the Black Pearl!"

Gibbs, who followed Turner and Elizabeth, hugged his head and shouted, and the pirates next to him had similar expressions.

The black ship slid through the sea of ​​sand and headed straight for the sea below.

On the top of the mainmast, on the side of the watchtower, Jack was standing on the side of the crossbar, holding the taut cables on the top block block in his hand, looking at the sea in the distance.

He already knew that some old friends were waiting for him on the beach... Even at this moment, the Black Pearl was propelled by countless white crabs, like a colony of ants, diligently lifted an object weighing millions of times its own weight. The big boat, let it rush into the white waves even when there is no wind.

It's Tia Doma's "pet"...

On the lower deck, it was Luo Sanpao who was at the helm. He looked up enviously at Jack whose turban was blown like a flag, and muttered in a low voice: "This guy is really smug."

It's just that he also has to admit that this way of appearance is really handsome and cool enough, presumably for the crew members who are waiting for him below, this must be an unforgettable sight for a lifetime.

The Black Pearl just slid down the slope of the sand dunes at the rear, and rushed all the way into the sea; Jack didn't talk nonsense, just pulled a cable from the top of the mast, slid off the ship along the rope, and jumped to the shore in shallow water.

"Gibbs!"

He touched his three-cornered hat and asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Uh, Captain, it's been a while... We're almost starting to feel hungry." Gibbs, who was coming up, scratched his head and replied inexplicably.

"...Why do I feel that you haven't stayed enough? Don't you want to leave? Don't you? Then get on the boat for me! And you, your 'Brother Luo' is on the boat, why don't you go up and help? Get up, move!"

After a few orders from Jack, the pirates spun around like headless chickens, trying to find a boat quickly, but finally looked at the distance of the Black Pearl and decided to swim there.

While the group of people were flopping about in the sea, Jack took a few steps forward and saw Turner and Elizabeth who were a little embarrassed, as well as old friend Barbossa and old friend Tia Doma.

"Jack Sparrow..."

Barbossa gritted his teeth.He knew that this man in front of him was indispensable in order to convene the pirate meeting and release the Sea Goddess; but the grievance between the two of them was too deep, and he felt angry when he saw this foolish look.

Jack also deserved a beating as always, and he deliberately picked up the hat on his head and grinned at him: "Hector Barbossa! It seems that you have been resurrected... How does it feel to be thrown on a desert island? Sample……"

"You know it yourself." Barbossa smiled hypocritically and retorted.

"Tsk, you're not very friendly. I heard you all missed me and begged me to call me back... I hope it's not because any of you are trying to kill me."

As Jack said, he turned his head and secretly glanced at the pair of young men and women.

The witch Tia Doma took a step forward and pressed her hand on his chest. Finally, her tone became urgent: "...the ballad is already being sung, from the Caribbean Sea to the Gold Coast, from the Cape of Good Hope to Malacca, all pirate ships are Threatened by Lord Beckett's army..."

"...The era of pirates is coming to an end, Tia Doma, you told me this." Jack shook his head, he knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later... As humans explored more and more sea areas, There are fewer and fewer unknown hiding places, and the living space of pirates will naturally become smaller and smaller.

Tia Doma also got closer, stretched out her fingers and slightly raised the "compass" hanging on his chest, looked at him with wide eyes and said: "Yes, this era is about to pass... ...But your curtain call time has not yet come. If you still want to sail freely on the seas, you must defeat Beckett..."

"Okay, very convincing, let's get on board, beauty." Jack said, and looked back at Turner and Elizabeth who hadn't found a chance to talk to him, and stretched out his hand to signal them to follow.

Seeing that the pirates were still moving slowly, he yelled again, "...Okay, those who want to leave with me, get on board right now!...Of course, except for you, Hector."

Barbossa tilted his head helplessly, pulled out the mosaic chart from his arms, and shook it at Jack: "Without this, how would you know where you are going, Jack?"

Chapter 51 The Peace of the Dead

"My lord, there is still no trace of the pirates today."

In the captain's cabin, the adjutant in the officer's uniform bowed slightly respectfully, pressed his top hat on his chest, and responded to the officer's inquiries with standard and perfect etiquette.

He had to, because his chief was a man who cared deeply about his subordinates' etiquette.

Even in this place where the ship was full of fishy smell and the surrounding cabin structures were rotten and about to collapse, Lord Beckett still maintained a graceful demeanor, and except for the soles of his shoes, his whole body was not even stained with a little bit of dirt.

At this time, when he received the report from his subordinate, he just picked up the handkerchief slowly, covered his nose in disgust, waved his hand, and told the adjutant to go back to his boat.

A gloomy voice came from the side: "How long are you going to stay on my boat?"

As these words landed, a man with a face like the slimy skin of an octopus and many tentacles on his chin appeared from the shadows.

He wore a wide hat on his head, hiding his eyes with bald eyebrows and transparent eyelids under the brim of the hat; a hand stretched out from under his worn and damp clothes clearly looked like a huge crab claw.

The octopus tentacles on the man's chin, which is half human and half marine life, are still alive, twisting and wriggling constantly, which makes people feel unspeakably disgusting.

In the future era, many people's imagination of Cthulhu will stop at his face...

This man was Davy Jones, captain of the Flying Dutchman.

Anyone in the world will be terrified when they see him, and the pirates sailing on the sea are like a mouse meeting a cat... This is not only because he controls the sea monster "Kraken", but also For he himself and his crew are undead crawling out of the weirdness of the deep, who take pleasure in tearing apart men's bodies and torturing their souls.

Only this Englishman in front of him... this "Lord Beckett" will not be afraid of him.

Not only was he not afraid, but after the flagship sank, this guy came to his ship majestically, occupied the captain's room, bossed him around, and made no secret of his disgust and disdain for himself and others.

"...who sank my ship, Mr. Jones." Lord Beckett put on that mocking sneer again, "and don't forget... your heart is on board now. If you must use this If you face me with such an attitude, then of course I would rather destroy you. I heard that the person who pierced your heart will become the new captain of this ship? I am curious, if you bombard it with two cannons, who will become the captain? Is it me who gave the order, or one of the two gunners?"

The tentacles all over Davy Jones' face trembled, and he growled helplessly: "Don't, mention that in front of me! How dare you bring that thing aboard my boat, you cruel bastard..."

"This is strange..."

Lord Beckett stood up and walked in front of the octopus head, causing the guards standing around the door to nervously raise their guns.

He waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to pay attention, and just moved his head gently, and whispered in Davy Jones' ear, "It's obviously your own heart, why are you so afraid of seeing it?"

Davy Jones has been provoked into a rage, his whole body is trembling in anger, the tentacles all over his face are flying wildly, and he has pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword several times, and he wants to pull out the sword at his waist. Desperately.

However, he still held back and didn't give the other party an excuse to blow his heart out.He knew very well that the box containing his heart was right under the captain's cabin, where his organ should have been placed...

Lord Beckett threw the organ overboard as soon as he got aboard, ruining his musical tastes.

Then, this bastard British guy swaggered up his heart and pointed two cannons at it, warning him that if he violated the order in the slightest, he would immediately bombard the dead man's coffin and destroy his heart. Kill him completely!

Because he knew that the thing was on the boat, Davy Jones could feel the pain in his heart every moment.

He really couldn't face his own heart... because he had already changed his mind.

The heart dug out by him no longer has passionate love and happiness, but is replaced by endless regret and pain.

Davy Jones didn't want to face this nasty Lord "Lord" again, so he snorted coldly at Beckett, turned around and was about to walk out the door.

"...Keep looking for me, Mr. Jones. You know where the pirates haunt you best. Don't let me down."

Beckett said behind him.

After chasing and killing at sea during this period, the forces of several major pirate kings suffered heavy losses, and the remaining pirate ships also hid cleverly and disappeared from the route.

These pirates were extremely shrewd. Seeing the menacing British navy, they naturally refused to show up at will. Therefore, Davy Jones and the "Flying Dutchman" had not drank the enemy's blood for a long time.

It's just that Davy Jones didn't know...Because he was disturbed by his own heart on the ship, he didn't notice that in that dead place that was colder than death-he was in the prison at the end of the world. The boat sailed out slowly.

Starting from Davy Jones' pale prison, following the chart in Barbossa's hand, the Black Pearl returned to the silent sea at night.The starry sky above is reflected on the water, like two identical universes, sandwiching the waters in the middle.

Jack Sparrow didn't insist on taking the helm this time, he stood at the end of the bowsprit, clutching the compass, staring ahead, squinting in thought.

The crew members worked hard, but they only regretted that their parents had lost a pair of hands.

Nothing else, they have had enough of the days when they can't see anything around them... Even the long-sea voyage across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean is not so boring. In the real ocean, they can at least stop their boats and fish, Go into the water and dig some shells or something, so you won't have nothing to do!

Now that he has found the person he is looking for, of course the sooner he escapes from this place, the better.

Even Elizabeth, who is a woman and physically inferior to the crew members present, is still working hard, and she is still asking Luo Sanpao next to her for advice on how to tie the cables, how to control the direction of the sail, and how to control a ship with the least effort .

Just learning to learn, she suddenly widened her eyes.

From the front of this empty ocean, suddenly there came many twinkling lights.

When the Black Pearl got close to those bright lights, they realized that they were all small boats.The people sitting on the boat looked towards the direction they were heading with expressionless faces. There was an oil lamp on the bow of the boat, even though the Black Pearl passed by, there was no reaction at all.

When they got really close, the crew on the Black Pearl could always hear the whispers coming from the small boat.

"Hey, hey, let's pull together...Raise the flag high...Thieves and beggars, we will never die..."

Whoever hums so low must be a pirate.

"A shipment of Ceylon cinnamon, a shipment of Chinese tea... ah, Mary, when I get these back to London, I'll have enough money to marry you..."

Those who talked like this were probably maritime merchants.

These people are pretty normal, but some people behind them are a bit scary.

The crew on the Black Pearl clearly watched a dirty man turn over his intestines piece by piece, and at the same time muttered: "I really didn't steal the 'General''s steak...Master why? Don't believe it?"

"...the undead of the dead."

The witch Tia Doma, who didn't know when she walked behind the crowd, said, "Because Davy Jones refused to perform his duties, these souls can only float in this sea forever."

Elizabeth was about to say something when she saw a familiar figure on one side.

"dad?……"

She said in a low voice, and it was clearly her father, Governor Swann, who was on the boat.

The girl trembled suddenly. Did the witch just say that these are the souls of the dead?The appearance of the governor of Swan here does not mean...

"Father, it's me, I'm here, Dad!"

She yelled and waved her hands, trying to get the attention of the man in the boat.

The figure in the long wool wig turned his head in the dim light of the oil lamp, glanced at the Black Pearl, and said with a surprised expression, "...Elizabeth? Are you dead too?"

"... also?" Elizabeth was suddenly hit by great sadness, and could only shake her head blankly.

I saw Governor Swan showing a joyful smile, and said from the bottom of his heart: "That's really great."

Elizabeth also thought at this time that the Black Pearl had just returned from the realm of death and was about to return to the human world.

She yanked a cable from the boat and threw it over the boat, yelling in vain to her father, "Come up, Daddy, we can go back together!"

Governor Swan didn't intend to move the rope, and let it slip from in front of him into the water.

"Men are mortal, Elizabeth," he said calmly. "My time has come. Don't grieve for me. Remember, the Dutch must have a captain... But fate is always obscure."

"Hold on to the rope, Dad, don't let me go back alone... don't let me live alone..."

Elizabeth was already in tears. Seeing her father's soul drifting farther and farther away in the boat, she almost wanted to jump into the water by herself.

Governor Swan just kept staring at her, and comforted her gently: "You have grown up, Elizabeth, I am so proud of you. There are other people in this world who love you too, and you will not feel lonely. Live seriously ,my little princess……"

After saying this, Governor Swan took a deep look at Turner, who rushed to the stern to hug Elizabeth, and turned back resolutely, not even looking this way.

Turner hugged Elizabeth, who was weeping in his arms, and looked back at the witch who could bring the dead back to life: "Is there any other way?"

Tia Doma opened her eyes wide, facing the two people with a serious expression, and shook her head slightly.

"He has resolved to rest in peace."

Chapter 52 The Man Who Ended the Age

Not long after the destruction of Xiao Feng's power, the British fleet finally set their sights on Mrs. Zheng.

No matter how large the fleet is, under the attack of super-standard weapons such as the "Flying Dutchman" and "Kraken", it is impossible to have a reason to defeat... Not to mention, the British fleet is also With fierce firepower and good tactics, in just a few days, they invaded Mrs. Zheng's sphere of influence and sank a large number of ships under her command on several key routes.

Faced with such a situation of defeat across the board, even Mrs. Zheng, who has fought at sea all her life, has no good way to do it.

Today, my subordinates came to report again, saying that they were targeted by British warships and "Flying Dutchmen" in the waters called "Java Sea" by foreigners. The entire fleet was destroyed, some were sunk and others were captured. Only a few small boats and their occupants escaped to deliver the desperate news.

"We are not opponents at all...it is impossible to defeat such an enemy."

The moment the "Flying Dutchman" appeared, all that was left was massacre... Although I don't understand why this elusive ship has been sailing on the sea surface and did not suddenly emerge from the water as rumored, but it It still broke through the formation of the pirates and smashed most of the ships directly.

The brothers who escaped back all looked terrified, trembling all over when thinking of the shark-like tooth-like structure under the bowsprit of the Dutchman.

"...Withdraw all the brothers who have been operating outside. Starting today, no one is allowed to go to sea."

After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Zheng could only give such an order.

The people below also naturally began to complain: "But... sister-in-law, how can we have food if we don't do business?"

"Our hometown still has a little stock here... It will last for a while." Mrs. Zheng's already blind eyes had a flash of light, and everyone was sure that they were right.

But of course she couldn't see the reaction of her subordinates, so she just continued: "And even if there is food...you have to save your head to eat it, right?"
