Chapter 689: The Origin of the Black Pearl (Page 1/1)

Freedom is a political philosophical concept, and in simple terms, the most basic meaning of freedom is that it is not restricted or hindered, without any restraint, control, coercion or coercion.

According to the statistics of later scholars, there are more than 200 definitions of "freedom" in human society.

Captain Jack really couldn't find a clear goal for such a general need as freedom, but he should know the way to make himself free, so he did everything he could to trick Will and Elizabeth into helping him do this.

That being said, when Li Nan asked why Jack did it, no one knew the answer.

Will knew that Captain Jack needed David. Jones had the key, and Elizabeth knew that Captain Jack wanted the treasure chest buried on the island, but why he needed it, the two couldn't tell.

"I know what Jack is doing." Tia, who was sitting at the wooden table, said lightly.

Looking around at the people present, Tia did not directly say the answer, but asked, "You all know that the ship 'Black Pearl' with magical abilities belongs to Jack, but do you know this ship, where did he come from?" ”

Everyone in the cabin didn't know about it, even Jack. Sparrow's longest-standing first mate, Gibbs, didn't know.

"Jack. Sparrow comes from a family of pirates, but he wasn't originally a pirate, but a sailor on an East India Company cargo ship called the Bad Girl. ”

Truth be told, when you hear the witch Tia talk about this passage about Jack. When Sparrow heard about Sparrow's secret, everyone's faces showed surprise, because no one thought that Jack would have such an experience.

"Huh." Seeing everyone's expressions, Tia smiled and said, "Aren't you surprised that Jack still worked in a serious industry?" ”

This question does not need to be answered by Tia, because it can be seen from everyone's expressions.

"Jack was a small crew member, but he matured and had a lot of sailing experience, and finally became the captain of the Bad Girl."

"I think all of you here know something about what the British East India Company relied on to make money. Sparrow may not be a good man, but he is a man of freedom. ”

A nostalgic smile appeared on Tia's face as she remembered the past, and then she continued: "Jack was very disgusted by the East India Company's deprivation of the freedom of the African natives and their use as slaves, so he released all the blacks on the ship who were transported as cargo. ”

Speaking of this, Li Nan remembered his experience on the African continent not long ago, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Did Jack get a talisman that can turn copper into silver and silver into gold?" ”

"How do you know?" Gibbs, who had seen the magic talisman in Captain Jack's hand, asked rhetorically.

Li Nan stroked Best, who was lying on his shoulder, very docile, and said to Gibbs: "That talisman should come from the same place as my pet, but I'm curious, where did that magical talisman that can turn silver into gold go?" ”

"Hahaha......" Gibbs couldn't help but laugh as he remembered what had happened.

Gibbs laughed for a while, and then said, "In addition to Captain Jack's pursuit of freedom, he also likes to drink, gamble, and play with women, and all of these things cost money. So, he found a tall stone mountain and wanted to use that amulet to turn that mountain into a mountain of gold. ”

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, everyone present had Jack in front of their eyes. Sparrow excitedly arrives in front of a high mountain and wants to turn the whole mountain into gold.

"And then? Did he succeed? Elizabeth was curious.

"Of course not." Gibbs raised the rum in his hand and took a big sip of it, and said with a smile: "No matter how magical that amulet is, it can't turn the whole mountain into gold." Later, seeing that the stone mountain in front of him had not changed, Jack tried it on his teeth with a talisman without believing in evil, and the result should be known to you, he had a few more gold teeth. ”

"Hahaha......"

Originally, everyone thought that the gold teeth in Captain Jack's mouth were inlaid because they were damaged during the fight, but it was not until they heard this story that everyone knew the reason, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Nan and the others laughed for a while, and then they all looked at Tia, hoping that she would continue.

"Jack was just a petty captain of the East India Company, and he freed a shipload of black slaves, which angered his immediate boss, Beckett."

It is clear that the familiar name of Beckett surprised Will and Elizabeth, because when they came to Port Royal, they were forced to find the magical compass and imprisoned the Governor of Swan, the Englishman called Lord Beckett.

When Beckett found out about this, he was furious. Sparrow left a mark on his body, throwing him into a Turkish prison and sinking Jack's most important Bad Girl to the bottom of the ocean.

After being expelled, Jack is determined to get his ship back.

So it wasn't long before Jack found the captain of the "Flying Dutchman", David Brown. Jones, who asks Jones to save his ship, on the condition that Jack's soul will serve on the flying Dutchman for a hundred years by the thirteenth year after Jack regains as captain.

Jack eventually agreed to the deal, and Jones helped him save the Bad Girl, renaming it the Black Pearl. ”

After listening to what everyone had to say, Li Nan went through all the information in his mind and understood a lot of questions, so he immediately asked a question: "When did Jack talk to David. The deal Jones made? ”

Tia looked at Li Nan appreciatively and replied, "Thirteen years ago. ”

"Oh." Li Nan nodded, and then said his guess: "Jack had a conversation with David thirteen years ago. Jones made a deal, and that's how he got the Black Pearl. With that said, Davy. Jones hunted down Captain Jack to get a debt, and Jack, who didn't want to lose his freedom, wanted to change the situation, or he wanted to pay his debts, so he used you to help him get the contents of the treasure chest. ”

Li Nan looked at everyone and asked, "Then the question is, what is in the box that Jack is trying his best to find?" Why did Jack be able to pay his debts if he found this thing? ”

Of the people present, only Will and Elizabeth had touched the treasure chest, but neither of them had seen the contents of the chest, so they did not answer Li Nan's question.

"I know what's in that box." Tia the Witch said.
