Chapter 101: The Successor
"Don, Adelson tell me, you have something to look for me?" Debell ignored Jack, who was standing next to him in the captain's room, and asked Tang Bai. Pretty much of Jack's free time these days is spent in the captain's room. And for this, Tang Bai never showed any impatience and expelled it. So Debell wasn't curious about Jack's appearance in the captain's room at the moment.
"Yes." Hearing Debell's voice, Tang Bai turned around from behind and nodded affirmatively to her.
"Important?" Debell asked in a low voice.
The serious and solemn look on Tang Bai's face couldn't help but be taken seriously. Since she met Tang Bai, this kind of solemn look was the first time she had seen him in him. Even when more than half of the crew mutinied collectively that night, Tang Bai's expression remained calm and calm.
"Very important! I need you to do one thing for me. Tang Bai said bluntly.
Hearing this, Debell did not rush to answer, but his face was calm, patiently waiting for Tang Bai to take the next words. Debell's calmness made Tang Bai admire in his heart, there was no temptation between words, and there was no subtle side knocking, Tang Bai put forward his request to Debel straight to the point.
"I need you to be the captain of the Dragon."
"What?" Although Debell had thousands of speculations in his heart, he didn't expect that what came out of Tang Bai's mouth would be such a sentence. This sentence not only made her eyes widen in surprise, but Jack, who was standing on the side, suddenly changed a lot.
"I need to be away for a while, but the Dragon can't live without a captain. I need you to help me in my duties as captain during my absence! Tang Bai picked up the tea he had brewed before, put it to his lips and took a sip gently, and said very calmly.
Tea was found from a merchant ship.
Tang Bai knew very well in his heart that he couldn't stay in this world for a long time, but the forces and manpower that he had just built up on his side couldn't just be abandoned. In Tang Bai's own absence, he also needed his subordinates to be able to faithfully and resolutely carry out the orders he left behind.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Dragon needs someone who can indulge and command it during his absence, as Tang Bai's replacement. This candidate, whether it is Adelson or Kirkter, is not suitable. They have no other strengths than some seafaring experience and knowledge of routes. This makes it possible for them to mess up the situation in some complex environments because of some hesitation and lack of calm.
Angelica has shown some leadership skills, and is not inferior to Edson in other aspects, but Tang Bai cannot guarantee her loyalty. Angelica is an emotional person, so in some places, it is difficult for her to refuse Jack's request.
Tang Bai didn't think that as Angelica's captain at the moment, he would be more important than Jack Sparrow in her heart. Moreover, the blackbeard who was good at black witchcraft and was selfish and cold-blooded was also an aspect that Tang Bai had to take into account.
Although Tang Bai, who has the ultimate control of the ship monster, is not afraid of any betrayal, if it can be avoided, Tang Bai will certainly try his best to avoid it. After all, what he needed was a captain who could fully carry out his orders in his absence.
In addition to these people, the candidates who can also be qualified for this position are the only ones in Tang Bai's heart.
In terms of ability and vision, Debel-Sisanna is impeccable in every way, except for the fact that there is still a gap and deficiency in sailing experience compared to a top sailor like Jack. She is also strong enough to suppress the unruly pirates on the ship.
And most importantly, Debell's position has always been on his side.
"Why me?" Debell's eyes widened, and the two towering clumps on her chest rose and fell under her somewhat rapid and ragged breathing.
To be able to own a big ship and sailors of his own is what Debell has always dreamed of. What she didn't expect was that her wish would come true so quickly! Despite the discount, Debell still felt a slight dizziness in disbelief.
"yes, why her?" Jack on the side finally couldn't help jumping out. He pointed at Debel, who was stunned, and walked to Tang Bai's side, staring directly into Tang Bai's eyes, and his fingers kept pointing and poking between himself and Debel.
Jack pointed at Debell with both hands, then pointed at himself in turn, leaned over to Tang Bai, and said in an almost straightforward way: "My dear Don, if you want to find an acting captain, I think you should probably consider a more suitable person." ”
"Give me a reason to choose you, Jack!" An inexplicable smile appeared on Tang Bai's face, and he smiled at Jack, who was squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes at him.
"I was originally the captain of the ship, the captain of the famous Black Pearl!" Jack opened his mouth and patted his chest.
"Once the captain of the Black Pearl. Understand, Jack, I don't worry about you. Not reassuring in any way. You're always losing or wrecking your boat, and you're keen to explore. If I give you the Dragon, the next time I come, I may have to go to Davy Jones and make a deal with him. Tang Bai shook his head firmly.
Jack has never been an easy person to control, and Tang Bai is worried that if Jack is made the captain of the Dragon, he is afraid that he will go directly to fight Barbossa and those people regardless of it and snatch the Black Pearl back. As for what kind of damage was done to the manpower and the Dragon in the fight for the ownership of the Black Pearl, Jack was afraid that he wouldn't care so much.
"I promised." Debell interjected into the conversation between the two.
"You promised?" Jack turned his head and looked at Debell, frowning slightly.
"I promised!" Debell tilted his head towards Jack.
"She agreed." Jack's slightly frowning brows stretched, he looked at Tang Bai and shrugged his shoulders, opening his mouth, as if he wanted to continue to say something, but under Tang Bai's gaze, he still didn't say anything after all, and took two steps back.
"Good. Before I go, I'll hand over the Dragon's reins to you and announce it to Adelson. Before leaving, Tang Bai was also very relieved to solve the problem that needed to be solved urgently.
"Chief, there's an island in front of you, maybe it's the destination you're looking for." Adelson walked in from outside the door and said respectfully to Tang Bai.
When Adelson's words landed, Jack immediately ran to Tang Bai's side on tiptoe like a cat with his tail stepped on, watched him take out the compass and open it, and stared at the frantically rotating pointer in the compass with him.
