Chapter 146: Negotiation?
"Sir? Ha! It's so young! Davy-Jones looked at Tang Bai, who appeared in a strange way, and his octopus-like face pulled out a sneering smile. It is not only like mocking Tang Bai's name for him, but also like ridiculing Tang Bai's youth.
The smile on Tang Bai's face did not restrain in the slightest because of this. He had heard a lot more blunt and harsh words than that, and these words of David Jones really couldn't affect his mood.
"You're a wizard?" Davy Jones strode up, his huge and muscular body, and with each step, the deck beneath his feet creaked. Walking in front of Tang Bai, David Jones stared at Tang Bai with a pair of dim yellow eyes in his sockets.
"As you can see."
Because of the height difference between the two, Tang Bai even had to raise his head slightly when he spoke. He felt a sense of déjà vu danger and pressure from David Jones. It was as if he was facing the goddess of the sea, Tia Tuma.
While holding his breath, Tang Bai could even clearly hear the beating heartbeat in his chest like a drumbeat.
"You got my Soul Coffin?"
Regarding Tang Bai's answer, David Jones seemed a little noncommittal, and quickly changed to another question.
"You're talking about this iron box?"
Tang Bai smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of carrying something, and with his raised arm, a quaint iron box was lifted out of the void by Tang Bai under Davy Jones's eyes.
The moment he saw the Soul Gathering Coffin, Davy Jones's entire face seemed to shrink to the center with anger.
Bang!
A large pincer slammed into the body of the Soul Gathering Coffin, followed by an unstoppable force from David Jones's side. Tang Bai easily threw away the coffin of the Soul Gathering Coffin and let David Jones snatch the Soul Gathering Coffin.
As long as the heart is still in his hand, the soul coffin or something, Tang Bai doesn't care too much. What's more, judging from the feeling of power transmitted by the box body before, if Tang Bai didn't take advantage of the situation to let go, I was afraid that the whole person would be pulled over. Rather than show timidity at that time, it is better to simply let the Soul Gathering Coffin out, anyway, it will always return to his hands in a short time.
Tang Bai was also a little surprised by Davy Jones's strength, his physique had improved a lot, and in terms of strength alone, he could definitely easily suppress six or seven adult men now. But for Davy Jones, who became a monster because of the curse, it still seems a little inadequate.
"The heart is not in it. There was nothing there. Tang Bai stood on the side and pretended to be kind to remind.
Davy Jones froze his body for a moment. Since the other party asked him to recapture the Soul Gathering Coffin so easily, and accurately said the names of the specific items stored inside, it was obviously enough to prove that the other party did not lie about this matter.
"Impossible! The key is in my hand, you can't open the Soul Gathering Coffin! Even though David Jones had already believed Tang Bai's words, the answer in his mouth became even more annoyed and angry. He quickly took out the key to the Soul Gathering Coffin, and opened the Soul Gathering Coffin in front of Tang Bai and all the pirates on the deck.
After a click of the lock, the coffin was slammed open by David Jones.
What made people feel cold was that the soul gathering coffin was empty, as Tang Bai said.
Syllable!
David Jones slammed the box shut. The tentacles on his face shook violently as if they were all alive.
"What do you want?"
After trying his best to suppress his restless and angry thoughts, David Jones turned his head and roared at Tang Bai.
"I want to represent the treasure of the Mermaid Kingdom, which is enshrined as the [Power of the Sea]." Seeing that David Jones finally began to formally negotiate with him, Tang Bai did not shirk, or say anything modest, but did not hesitate to say his answer.
After holding those dozens of mermaids for a few days, Tang Bai didn't do nothing. Since the collision with the Mermaid Kingdom and David Jones is inevitable, it is beneficial to get more intelligence and information from the other party when facing it.
Under the action of dozens of large doses of truth elixir, those dozens of mermaids naturally had something to say. Even though most of them were ordinary mermaid blood, and they didn't know much about some secret things, the information they said made Tang Bai very satisfied.
Especially one of the pieces of intelligence surprised Tang Bai.
That is the mermaid kingdom is regarded as the [power of the sea] item, can control most of the sea tribes, and even some of the ocean, only exist in the legendary item - the trident of the sea god!
"I can give it to you, but in exchange, you must also give me back the heart!"
Davy-Jones's face changed suddenly, but he quickly endured it and bargained with Tang Bai.
"No, no, no! I don't have to pay anything, Mr. David Jones! Either give me your treasure or I'll pick a new captain for the Flying Dutchman. Tang Bai did not hesitate to reject Davy Jones' proposal.
The trident of the sea god, this is just Tang Bai's accidental gain. He had spent so much effort to get Davy Jones's heart, not just in exchange for such a legendary item that he had never seen before and whose specific function had not been proven.
What's more, Tang Bai now occupies the bargaining chips, and David Jones obviously can't come up with enough bargaining chips to suppress him and force him to change his mind.
"You're threatening me?" Davy Jones's face suddenly changed again.
"If you see this as a threat, then it's a threat. Tell me, what about your options? The smile that had been hanging on Tang Bai's face completely disappeared, and he was replaced with a cold face. There's no way he's going to hand over his biggest chips because of some threats and trades from David Jones. Even if it's a torn face!
Using David Jones' heart to threaten him and use him has deeply offended David Jones, even irreparably and without the slightest leeway. Since it is irretrievable, then Tang Bai naturally has no need to retreat, and simply offends David Jones to death.
This was clear to him from the time he was about to look for the Soul Gathering Coffin. But as long as the heart is in hand, Tang Bai is not worried about what will happen to David Jones.
"You vile and shameless fellow!" David Jones let out an angry growl.
"As the captain of a group of pirates who do no evil, your words are a disguised honor." Tang Bai smiled and bowed to David Jones.
