Chapter 675: The Treacherous Devil's Sea
Jack not only told Li Nan the name of the mysterious witch, but also told her the place where she lived in seclusion, and seemed very cooperative.
Li Nan didn't trust any pirate king easily, but he didn't think about killing Jack either.
Now that he has obtained the Shadow Gold in his hand, he also knows about the witch Tia. Dalma's news, Li Nan let Jack go as promised. Sparrow, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, returned to his flagship in a dinghy.
The 'Black Pearl' protected by the curse is an invincible warship, but Li Nan does not plan to do it now, but sends Lady Qing to lead three warships and follow it from a distance, wanting to find out where Death Island is.
After the arrangements were made, Li Nan led his fleet and rushed into Port Royal, which was still in chaos.
Li Nan took advantage of the fire to rob this time, but what he wanted was not the property of those citizens, but for the British first-class sail battleship 'Dreadnought' anchored in the harbor.
In fact, in Li Nan's heart, the 'Intrepid' is the warship he recognizes the most, and there are as many as hundreds of guns on both sides of the ship, which makes this ship have very powerful firepower and destructiveness.
The British navy stationed in Port Royal today has been crushed after the indiscriminate bombardment of the 'Black Pearl', and it is completely powerless to stop the attack of Li Nan's huge fleet.
Hundreds of Black Iron Zombies quickly climbed onto the 'Dreadnought' and easily killed all the British soldiers who tried to resist, and then drove this powerful warship out of the harbor in a fair way.
After Li Nan boarded the 'Intrepid' and used the ship to remodel, the information of the entire ship appeared in his mind.

Aft deck: 12-pounder, 1.7-ton short guns 12 guns.
The mainmast is 62.5 meters high.
Ship Name: 'Dreadnought'.
Origin: United Kingdom.
A first-class sail battleship with a slower sailing speed, weak defense, and super attack power.
Comprehensive assessment: A-class warship.
Although this first-class sail battleship has a great disadvantage in speed, its powerful firepower, which is currently in the leading position in the world, completely makes up for this shortcoming, and it is estimated that any warship that encounters this 'Dreadnought' will be beaten into a sieve.
Even if I like this ship very much in my heart, but in any case, the flagship 'Sea King' has followed Li Nan for a long time, and the feelings are relatively deep, and it was not easy to upgrade to the A-class.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Nan finally decided to use the plundering technique to take the advanced parts on the 'Dreadnought' and transform them, but unexpectedly, he encountered an unsolvable problem.
There are two high-level components on the Dreadnought that are stronger than those on the Aquaman, one is the ship's very sturdy three-deck, and the second is the more than 100 state-of-the-art guns on the ship.
It seemed that these were two separate parts, but they could only be moved as a whole, because without this deck structure, they could not support the weight of a hundred guns, but when Li Nan tried to install them all on the 'Sea King', he got a hint that the same parts were too different in size to be installed.
So far, there is only one way, and that is to abandon the original flagship 'Sea King' and transfer all the high-quality components on it to the 'Intrepid'.
Although he was a little reluctant, in order to complete the main quest in this world, Li Nan still chose the 'Dreadnought'.
After some transformation, the British Royal Navy's most powerful first-class sail battleship 'Dreadnought' completely disappeared, and a warship upgraded to A+ comprehensive strength was born.
Combining all the advantages of the two A-class warships, this new ship still uses the name of the 'Sea King', in addition to the firepower is still fierce, the two attributes of speed and defense have both been improved from weak to average.
While Li Nan was hiding near Jamaica to renovate the ship, the person in charge of monitoring Port Royal returned to report that Jack and his men had kidnapped the British Royal Navy's brig 'Intercept' and fled into the middle of the ocean.
For Jack. Sparrow, Li Nan didn't know why he always felt that this person couldn't be trusted, he should have hidden a lot of things, so he sent people outside the port to monitor his movements.
Jack first stopped overnight in Tortuga, Haiti, the pirates' gathering place, Turtle Island, and as for what he was doing on the island, Li Nan knew without asking.
In fact, Jack and the other person are not simple, because the 'Interceptor' is a small and medium-sized clipper, and it is not easy to sail it to Turtle Island with only two people, but in order to really control this ship, they need at least ten sailors.
So, when Jack goes to Turtle Island, nine times out of ten, he gathers sailors to replenish fresh water and other provisions.
Li Nan was right, after a night's delay on Turtle Island, the next day Jack drove the well-manned 'Interceptor' to the northeast sea.
Li Nan, who followed behind, soon discovered that the direction in which Jack was going was the same as the direction in which Mrs. Qing was tracking the 'Black Pearl'.
This is not surprising, after all, Jack was the first to find the treasure of Death Island, and although he was later exiled by Barbossa, he should still remember the location of that island.
In this way, four teams sailing in the same direction appeared on this sea.
At the front were Barbossa and the crew of the 'Black Pearl', who were in a hurry to return to Death Island and lift the curse, followed by Mrs. Qing, who was following them, and then the 'Interceptor' piloted by Jack for an unknown purpose, and the huge fleet led by Li Nan at the back.
The voyage was very boring, and the sea was boundless as far as the eye could see, and after half a month of sailing, Li Nan found that the 'Interceptor' in front of him had sailed into a thick fog.
Ordering all the fleets to stop, Li Nan hurried to the captain's room, he and Angelica looked at the charts, and found that the sea ahead had a special name---- the Devil's Triangle.
Li Nan, who came from later generations, also knew another name for this sea, and that was the Bermuda Triangle.
Even a few hundred years later, when technology was very advanced, there were many ships and planes that went missing in these waters, and there were countless legends about it.
After pondering for a while, Li Nan decided to let Xiao Qingyan and Angelica lead the rest of the ships to stay here, and he took the flagship 'Sea King' into the Devil's Triangle to find out.
Throwing Angelica and Xiao Qingyan, who were reluctant to leave, to another ship, Li Nan ordered the zombie sailors to sail forward, and soon after the 'Aquaman' sailed into the dense fog in front of him, the compass in his hand failed.
