A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

The octopus head was talking, but unfortunately there was a sword stuck in its throat, so no one could hear it clearly.

He fell powerlessly, falling from the side of the deck to the center of the whirlpool.

"Captain! That box was shot by me... Uh, what's going on?"

Luo Sanpao, who just got out of the cabin, ran up shaking the blood on his arm, but saw that everyone on the deck had stopped fighting, and the murloc crew of the Dutchman silently surrounded him.

"...a member of the crew, part of the ship..."

These people muttered incomprehensible words and surrounded Luo Sanpao.

"Hey... don't come here!"

Luo Sanpao turned his head to the people he knew, only to see Jack beckoning everyone to jump back to the Black Pearl.

"...Luo, have you forgotten? The Flying Dutchman must have a captain!" Perhaps sensing Luo Sanpao's gaze, he turned around and shouted.

"Ah! Damn it, it's okay to shoot with cannons."

Surrounded by the crew of the Dutchman, Luo Sanpao slapped his head and waved to the brothers he brought from another world who were still unwilling to leave.

"You go back with the captain first... Let's talk about the rest later."

Chapter 58 The Black Flag

In Shipwreck Bay, all the pirates were on their own boats, stretching their necks and looking at the distant sea.

In the rush of wind and rain, everyone couldn't see what happened there, but only knew that the violent waves on the sea were hitting the coast one after another, and some smaller boats were even thrown up and down by the waves. The anchor nearly smashed to pieces on the pier.

I don't know how long it took, but the storm suddenly subsided.

When the sea gradually calmed down, only one black ship could be seen in the distance...it was the Black Pearl.

"Where's the Dutchman? Where's the Dutchman?"

The pirates who were able to confirm the situation over there through the binoculars had become agitated, and the faces of several British naval officers who had come to the port to convey Lord Beckett's "order" were getting whiter and paler.

The dark clouds all over the sky have also been swept away, and the midday sun appears from the gaps in the clouds, and is now sprinkled on the sparkling sea.

Tigger Sparrow, who did not know when he appeared in the port, raised his head, exposed his eyes from under the brim of his hat, and smiled slightly at the black ship.

"Boy, you really did it..."

While talking to himself, he turned his deep gaze to the front side.

On the side he was looking at, at the end of the pier, on the tallest and largest ship, Mrs. Zheng also closed her eyes, sitting upright in the grand chair in front of the cabin, listening to her subordinates' reports in a low voice.

"...Then what are we afraid of? Raise the black flag."

Mrs. Zheng said, waving casually to her side.

The people on both sides of the cabin quickly took out their horns and blew them.

Not long after, Mrs. Zheng's fleet lifted anchor and set sail, and headed out of the pier.A slowly fluttering black flag was hung on the top of the mainmast of each ship.

Everyone present knew what the flag meant: death.

As pirates, of course they wanted to bring death to each other!

Now seeing that the Dutchman seems to have been wiped out with the help of the goddess, the forces of the nine pirate kings have finally dispatched one after another, gearing up to fight the British navy fleet.

Each pirate fleet raised their favorite flags, some were blood red, some were black like Mrs. Zheng, and some were "Happy Roger" flags with white skulls and crossed patellas.

On the other side of the bay not too far from here, the British Royal Navy fleet is in a huge shock.

They also witnessed the Dutchman disappearing into the vortex, and what's worse, their commander was on that ship... Now these unlucky sailors think that Lord Beckett probably sank with that weird ship Lost.

"what should we do?"

The navy soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally they couldn't help but look at their captain, wondering what everyone should do now.Continue to destroy pirates as planned?Or retreat for the time being to preserve strength?

There are quite a few pirates in front of us... The combined fleet of the nine pirate kings is far larger than their "Royal Fleet". The ship's superior speed performance is considered lucky to escape.

While they were hesitating, they saw that the Black Pearl in the middle of the battlefield had already turned to this side.

"Carry it out! Carry it all out!" Standing on the deck, Jack directed the sailors to lift something out of the cabin. He had a rough look just now... Even in the supernatural, trance-like feeling just now. After Meng's battle, it seemed that there were not many downsizing on the deck, which was a good result.

As for the British fleet... He really doesn't pay much attention to it now.

There are still several torpedoes brought from another world, so why not try them all for the Brits!

Barbossa steered the helm disgruntled, wondering now if Jack was starting to kick his nose in the face?Could it be that he was the first officer on the Black Pearl back then?

"The British fleet seems to be in chaos, why don't we fight over now?" Turner asked while helping to move the wooden box containing the torpedoes.

"...there are so many boats in good condition, and there are 30 to 40 guns on each boat. Are you rushing to get beaten now?"

Jack shrugged, and then pointed to the top of the Black Pearl: "Hector broke a piece of the mast just now to separate the Black Pearl from the Dutch...We can't even put the sails right now, so let's wait Say it again."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for that..." Jack pointed to the other side of the horizon.

In the middle of the British fleet, suddenly there was a column of water soaring into the sky, and the fleet that was originally lined up in line suddenly became chaotic, and the entire formation was scattered.

The distance was too far, and Turner couldn't see it clearly at all. After looking over there for a while, he couldn't say for sure, "Is that...the Flying Dutchman?"

"That's right...and it's the Dutchman with the black flag." Jack smiled and nodded, seeing that several torpedoes were loaded on the deck, he waved to Barbossa with satisfaction, signaling him to black The Pearl is ready to move.

The pirates at Finnegan have been a real help.

For the convenience of the team, the torpedoes they got were specially selected to be easy to launch. They don’t need an underwater launch chamber or a sealed barrel. As long as the thrust generated can put the torpedo on the sea surface, it can be launched by itself...Of course , and now these things are handy for him Jack Sparrow.

When the dark clouds gradually dissipated and the midday sun passed through the sea, reflecting the blue of Shipwreck Bay, the Black Pearl turned its head and, together with the ships of all sizes and flying pirate flags behind it, headed towards the chaos. The British fleet killed the past.

There, Luo Sanpao was standing on the bow of the Dutchman, laughing wildly with a sharp knife in his hand, and commanded his crew to shell the British ships.

This "ghost ship" sometimes appeared in the middle of the British formation, and sometimes it suddenly sank underwater and started to dive, chasing and killing a single ship that had left the front line.

After the pirates also rushed up, the British fleet was quickly defeated. Half of the warships stayed in Shipwreck Bay forever, and the other half were wounded and lost their fighting spirit. They fled while the Dutchman was swallowing other ships. .

Judging from the results, this can be regarded as the biggest failure of the East India Company and even the Royal Navy in recent decades.

From this day on, the legend of the two ships has been circulating in the fleet of the Royal Navy.

One of them, the undead ship sailing underwater, may emerge from anywhere at any time to smash the hull of the warship and swallow the souls of all sailors on board;

The other has a black hull, black sails and black flags, and can summon extremely fast water dragons. It will draw white waves on the sea, and when it reaches its destination, it will immediately spew out flames. No matter how strong the ship is, It will also be blown to the sky.

Of course, the legend will always include the black flag that covers the sky and the sun, and the songs sung by the pirates...

"Some people are dead, some are alive, others are sailing on the sea... From the water tomb, the bell is ringing, do you hear the gloomy voice?..."

When Lord Beckett woke up, he was still surprised by what he saw.

Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa pointed guns at him maliciously, and no one tried to help him up; standing in the middle were Turner and Elizabeth, the couple looking at him His eyes were burning. He had just vomited several mouthfuls of seawater and got up from the ground when he was kicked in the waist by Turner and fell to sit in his vomit.

"Ah...ah..."

He screamed in a low voice, and he had already lost the strength to speak.

Now the lord also remembered what happened just now... The Dutchman was attacked, a dark-skinned, tall and strong Chinese came in and knocked him out, and when he woke up, he found that the Dutchman was sinking.

He managed to find a broken ship plank, tied himself with the ship plank with his belt, and jumped into the water while no one was paying attention, but was torn apart by the crazy turbulent waves not long after he swam out. Lost consciousness once.

Just because he untied his belt to bind himself... Now he was dragged onto the deck of the Black Pearl without pants, and he didn't have any aristocratic demeanor at all.I don't know if his usual elegance was swept away by the waves along with the breeches.

"Cutler Beckett...you're a bastard, a rascal, a scum in aristocratic skin. When you brutally murdered my innocent father, did you ever imagine that you would be where you are today?"

Elizabeth stepped forward and cursed at Beckett who couldn't answer.

Beckett remembered her.

A few months ago, at Port Royal, she was still a lovely aristocratic girl with white complexion, beautiful and delicate eyes full of innocence... But now she is dressed in strong clothes, her face and arms are tanned The color is dark, the brows and eyes are full of sharpness, and there is a vertical wound on the tight lips. He looks strong and resolute, and he has already become another person.

This woman should be paid more attention to... and the little blacksmith Turner, and Jack Sparrow, and that Chinese pirate...

There are too many variables, and it cannot be regarded as a perfect plan at all, but I was blinded by pride, which led to today's failure!

Beckett coughed violently, and after a long time, he forced out a sentence in a hoarse voice: "You...plan...how..."

"...To show our respect for you, we will execute you in your favorite way of executing pirates, my lord." Jack sneered, "And Ms. Elizabeth strongly requested to execute it herself, we can't pick anything too A surprising way to die for you."

"...you are...challenging the dignity of the UK...the company will not let you go...the UK will not let you go..."

This time it was Barbosa's turn to answer. He looked at the debris of the hull floating on the water on both sides, and said with a hey hey hey hey hey hey, "It's all done like this, do we still expect to be friendly with the East India Company and Britain?" get along?"

Did Beckett feel fear and helplessness like those executed pirates?No one asked, and he probably couldn't tell—Elizabeth, who was already in a hurry, quickly gagged the guy's mouth, tied a rope around his neck, and hung him outside Shipwreck Bay.

According to the crew members on the Black Pearl, that guy even spent more time in that crazy kick than the average person.

Chapter 59 Flying Chinese

After fighting the battle and witnessing the spectacle of the pirates hanging the British nobleman from the cliff, five of the nine pirate kings ran back to their own sea area first.

Beckett's pursuit before caused them heavy losses, and they urgently needed to recuperate and accumulate ships and manpower; in addition, looking at the ghost ship parked in the bay, even if they knew it was a teammate, they would feel scalp numbness, so they had better run away road as well.

Of the four remaining "Pirate Kings", three are on the same ship, and one still bears the title of "Pirate King" to this day...

In Shipwreck Bay, only this black ship dared to lean on it, and only a few of them dared to board the "Flying Dutchman".

Luo Sanpao stood behind the helm, shirtless, touched the wound on his chest, and gasped in pain.

The man who pierces the heart of Davy Jones and kills him will become the new captain of the Flying Dutchman, taking over his task of transporting the dead at sea between the worlds of life and death.But to take over as captain, he had to undergo a minor operation first, no one had ever mentioned this to Luo Sanpao!

Calypso, who was sitting on the railing of one side of the ship, had completely changed.Her body is constantly changing in the starlight reflected in her body. Sometimes she is a cardamom girl in light gauze, sometimes a black witch with tattoos, and sometimes she becomes the naked plump beauties in classical oil paintings.

Everyone, every time they look at her, seems to be able to see the reflection of their inner desires.

Only Luo Sanpao, the current captain of the Dutchman, can see this ever-changing appearance. This is the source of the image of the goddess in people's eyes...but it is only her deeper "appearance", or in the words of Buddhists. Said, called "hue".

As for the nature and appearance of a goddess, I am afraid no one in this world can see clearly.

She sat on the side of the boat, leaning on the railing with both hands, gently swinging her feet, and said to her new captain in that ethereal tone: "Everything has a price. Even creatures that are 'immortal' in concept, must It is the law of nature to have an 'Achilles heel'..."

Luo Sanpao finally didn't call the goddess a "fortune teller" to her face, but she didn't respect her too much. She just walked over and asked with a wooden box, "So what am I going to do now, can I give this to you?"

"Do you love me?"

Calypso asked him that.

"Uh..." He could only scratch his head, not knowing how to answer.

The goddess smiled and nodded, and said, "Then don't give your heart to me."

Luo Sanpao put the box into his bosom, thinking of another person who once took out his heart, and asked, "Where's the octopus head?"

"Davy Jones..." the goddess turned her face to the other side, and replied in a flat tone: "Now he can stay on the bottom of the sea forever and stay by my side until we disappear together."

"Will gods disappear too..."

"Everything has its end, and so do the gods. But I may stay longer... because no matter what era, there are people who are afraid of the violent tide of the sea, and there are people who can't wait to conquer the sea. Aren't you one of them One, my brave captain?"

After hearing these words, Luo Sanpao still wanted to raise his head to say something, but he could no longer see Calypso.

God's will has been conveyed, and his responsibilities have been determined. It's time to go on the road and start transporting the undead who have been wandering in the sea of ​​the dead for a long time.

Turner was also on board.

He finds Shoelace Bill, a taciturn, middle-aged man.

[84. No. 84]

It wasn't until he saw his father freed from the curse with his own eyes that he realized that there might be something wrong with his childhood memories... The man in front of him was not the strong and majestic man in his impression, who was almost as tall as the sky He even has a slightly hunched back, and his hands and arms are full of traces of long-term physical labor, such as thick fingers, forearms with protruding blood vessels, and tanned skin.

But he is no longer covered with starfish, barnacles and coral like a sunken ship that has been soaking in the sea for decades, and Shoelace Bill looks like a normal person.

He supported his waist, sat down on the side of the boat with difficulty, and said to his son with great relief: "You rescued me, Will, and see what a wonderful boy you have grown into."

"But I still couldn't completely save you... I couldn't get you off this ship." William Turner shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Maybe I'm already a part of this ship? In fact, I should have died back then... It was the Dutchman who gave me a chance, a chance for me to see you again today."

Bill said, reaching out his hand as if wanting to touch William's head, but remembering that his son is grown up now, he finally withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

"...I can still go ashore one day every ten years. After ten years, I hope you will bring my grandchildren to show me. At that time, even if I will sleep under the waves forever, I will have no regrets It's..."

As he spoke, he looked at the Black Pearl that was quietly parked nearby.

On the deck of that ship, Elizabeth Swan finally changed out of her military uniform. Of course, she did not put on the corset that she hated, but changed into a Chinese-style skirt with the help of Mrs. Zheng.Now she is being combed by the maid sent by Mrs. Zheng, and then she is putting hairpins and jade ornaments on her head.

Seeing the father and son over there looking here, she couldn't help showing a sweet smile.

William also smiled back, and said to his father: "It's a pity that you can't see our wedding, His Majesty the 'Pirate King' will stay here for a few days, choose a new meeting place, and hand over the law code to the person in charge , by the time she finishes her work, the Dutchman should have returned to the sea."

"It doesn't matter whether I can see...Since you have decided to marry her, just stay by her side."
