582. Thoroughly discredited
There is a rumor in the port of Pernambuco that Blackwater Jack was hacked by the Italians and died in the waves of the Caribbean Sea.
This is not unfounded, when the Italian fleet Carmelo went to sea that day, many pirates followed, but the result was that the armor did not return and no information was transmitted.
And not long after that, some small fleets trying to go to the sea area where there may be a firefight in search of "carrion" discovered a startling sight!
On the surface of the sea at the northeastern tip of South America, they found a large area of shipwrecks, which, judging by its size, could include all the pirates who went to sea with Carmelo's fleet!
And even more......
The vultures searched the wreckage with deep fear, trying to find something of value.
However, when they saw the hull of the ship that was almost "torn apart", there was no emotion in their hearts except for endless panic and torture!
What really was the size of the Italian fleet? And what kind of tactics were used? You can wipe out all the pirate fleets here!
Could this be the Naga Siren's masterpiece? How could humanity have achieved such destruction?
The vultures searched the battlefield in horror, and there was no more "wrecked ship" on the surface of the sea, all that was left was fragments, not even a single intact plank that could be replaced!
And in addition to these horrible wreckage, the vultures have suddenly discovered something unexpected!
That's the remnants of the coat of arms of a handful of Italian fleets, and mixed with them, there are some emblems of the Spanish Navy!
Could it be that the Spanish Navy was also involved in this conspiracy? Is this a counterattack created by Italy and Spain?
The vultures brought the news back to Pernambuco with full of doubts, and immediately caused a great uproar in the entire port of Pernambuco!
Did Italy and Spain really join forces? In other words, those shipwrecks were salvaged by Spain and Italy?
And the treasure has already fallen into the pockets of the Spaniards and Italians? And not the British, who have always been said?
Which one is true? Which is fake?
Pernambuco's public opinion is full of complicated theories, and the vast majority of people have chosen to see is believe in the face of the facts, and have put this dirty water on the heads of the Italians and Spaniards.
After all, the Spaniards have always been notorious, and by all accounts, they and the Italians did attack the English who came to spy on them!
Extrapolating from this tandem of evidence, one conclusion can be drawn almost definitely - the shipwreck was indeed in the hands of the Spaniards and Italians!
And poor Blackwater Jack, the silly young man, believed that these predators would let him go after receiving the gold and silver he had bought for his treasure?
It's a fantasy!
If I haven't come back for so many days, I'm afraid that the Spaniards and Italians have joined forces and eaten and wiped clean!
Poor Jack!
However, in the midst of all the talk, this afternoon, a wrecked ship suddenly drifted back from the port of Pernambuco!
People's eyes involuntarily converged on the dock by the sea, and they saw Jack, who was covered in blood and only had three or four sailors left to come back together!
"What happened? Jack! A number of people gathered around and lifted up Jack, who was weak and quite weak.
"Water...... Water...... I want water! Jack, who was weak and crawling on the dock boardwalk, whispered.
The person next to him immediately handed over the kettle, and Jack held the kettle and drank it violently!
The people around looked at Jack fixedly, they cared about where this person had died, and they cared about who those shipwrecks and treasures were!
"Whew!" Jack let out a long breath and seemed to have recovered a lot. He stood up and shouted, "I'm going to reorganize the fleet!" I want revenge! I! I must take revenge! ”
He shouted hoarsely, drawing the attention of Ruth at the Chaco Park Bar. She rushed out of the bar with a few guys, saw Jack covered in blood, screamed, and helped him into the bar.
While drinking, the indignant Jack recounted his "encounter!" ”
"I was deceived by that damn Italian!" Jack slapped the table hard, screaming unscrupulously, and suddenly attracted the attention of everyone around him more closely.
"What's going on!" The people around asked anxiously.
"That damn Carmelo tricked me into the Caribbean, we were trading, and it turned out that a Spanish fleet came next to it! They actually teamed up to attack me! Took all my belongings! These damn it! I want revenge! Avenge! Jack exclaimed.
The people next to him silently closed their mouths, which is actually not difficult to understand - judging from the news sent back by the vultures, the firepower of this mysterious fleet is extremely fierce, almost tearing apart the fleets that follow!
What's more, Jack, who is the main target, is already a great luck to be able to come back alive!
"Forget it...... Never mind! Jack, there are some people we can't afford to mess with! Others persuaded Jack: "Italians are enough, Spaniards are fine...... Although their power is not as strong as before, it is more than enough to deal with our fleet! ”
Ruth also had tears in her eyes and whispered to Jack: "Forget it! Don't think about revenge! It's good if you come back, it's good to come back! Is it okay if we don't get revenge? ”
Jack refused to compromise, and he quickly approached an auction house to auction off the Chaco Parker Bar.
The bar was in a pretty good location, right at the intersection of people at the port terminal, and it quickly sold for a pretty good price, enough to build a pretty good fleet!
Ruth had stopped persuading Jack, and everyone else looked at the woman with some pity.
She really loves Jack so much that she knows that he is going to use the property that the two of them have been running for many years to go to waste, but she still silently supports the anger and anger burning in her man's heart!
The fleet was quickly set up, with five well-built medium-sized dhows, definitely good equipment for pirate raiders.
It seems that Jack is really ready to seek revenge on the Italians and Spaniards, and although they know that it is a moth to the fire, no one will stop Jack.
Why? Because Jack is a capable man, if he dedicates himself to running his business in Pernambuco, the space for others will be reduced accordingly.
And if something happened to him to get revenge this time...... I'm afraid that Pernambuco's sphere of influence will be redivided!
In this way, people watched coldly as Jack led the sailors, loaded a large number of shells and materials onto the ship, and embarked on a journey to conquer the Spaniards and Italians without hesitation.
"Jack! Bon voyage! Someone shouted.
"Kill those damn vampires sooner! Come on! "There are also people who gloat, fearing that the world will not be chaotic.
"If you really can't do it, don't force it, only if you live can there be hope!" There are also some people who can't bear it and put forward more pertinent opinions.
But these people were immediately criticized by others: "Let him die!" Do you want him to come back and steal business with us? Idiot! ”
In such an atmosphere, those who originally wanted to comfort Jack also quickly shut down - after all, on the one hand, there are absolutely few people who hold such thoughts about themselves, and on the other hand, what these people say is not unreasonable, and the absence of one of the strongest competitors should be a good thing for themselves!
And just like that, Jack's new fleet, Chaco Parker, set sail to the cheers of the people!
People watched this sturdy fleet leave the harbor and sail to the far north, and their hearts couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Let's go! Never come back! "A lot of people think about it.
They sent Jack away in the atmosphere of farewell, but there was still some indescribable helplessness and pain in their hearts!
So much gold and silver treasure, all of them fell into the pockets of the Spaniards and Italians! It seems that there is really no hope for me.
No way! Maybe it's so simple to settle this matter!
Many people who already had ideas about the treasure thought indignantly: we have to make some trouble for these people who have robbed the treasure, so that even if they swallow all the treasure, they will have to make them indigestion!
As a result, many people began to spread the news that it was the Italians and Spaniards who had salvaged the shipwreck, pocketed all the treasures, and at the same time blamed the British, so that the poor British paid a lot of money and received nothing.
In this way, almost at the same time as Jack's departure, such news was quickly spread.
Who cares what the consequences of this news will be?
Seeing Jack's fleet drift away, many people breathed a sigh of relief. One less competitor, what a joyful thing!
It wasn't until the shadow of the boat completely disappeared from sight that these people gradually left, but there was a lot more to talk about after dinner.
As the fleet gradually left the port, Ruth slowly came behind Jack and asked softly, "Jack, you said before that there was a reason why you did this, what is the reason?" ”
Jack endured it hard, endured it for a long time, and suddenly couldn't hold it anymore, laughed out loud, and almost stood unsteady with laughter!
"Ruth! We are free! We are free! Jack grabbed Ruth's hand and shouted excitedly!
Ruth was taken aback by Jack and didn't know what was wrong with her man.
Jack laughed and said, "Please call me Jack Farmer or Master Jack in the future!" Hahahaha! ”
Ruth asked suspiciously, "Why?" Jack, what's wrong with you? It doesn't really matter if we lose anything, as long as we live, we have hope! ”
Jack picked Ruth up and laughed, "I got hundreds of acres of land, and the port dock!" We are developed, and we don't have to do these unclean things anymore! A new life has begun! ”
Ruth was taken aback by Jack, but after hearing what he said, her mood was equally excited!
Under the dusk of the sea, the two enthusiastically held hands and danced on the deck, which was a tribute to the new life and a farewell to the past life forever.
A new era is coming!
