Chapter 0170: Encounter on the Sea (1)

When the fishing tournament was finally over, the sailors, under the command of the only two professional cooks on board, cheered as they dissected the fish and carried them to the galleys below, salting and storing some of them.

As ordinary sailors, they don't care who wins or loses the game, anyway, in the past two days, they can eat a lot of meat, which is the most important thing!

It's only the second day of going out to sea, and sumptuous foods like seafood feasts or sea fish sets are still very appealing to them.

While the sailors were still dealing with the big shark, Barbossa couldn't wait to reach the witches, and now it was time for him to claim the winner's reward, and he had already thought about what to ask the witch for.

"Then, Your Excellency the Witch! Excuse me, do you want to continue playing? ”

After saluting Anne proudly, Barsabo asked cautiously, he didn't want any foreign objects such as magic items, he wanted another reward.

"Humph! No need! This time you win! ”

Anne looked angrily at the sailors who were busy dividing the sharks on the deck below the bridge, and replied a little angrily! In the future, she will never play any fishing tournaments with them again! These people, one is worse than the other! The ability to exploit loopholes is also stronger than the other!

"So, my honorable witch, my prize?"

Barbossa rubbed his hands together and approached Anne, wasn't it because he had gone to great lengths to win the fishing tournament for the sake of the reward?

"You go away, how long has it been since you showered? It stinks! ”

Anne pinched her nose and moved two steps away from the other party, these pirates were stinking all over their bodies, they really stinked to death! Do they never bathe or brush their teeth? It's disgusting to watch!

"Say it! What exactly do you want? Is it the kind of telescope that enchants the eagle eye? Bring your binoculars. ”

After two steps away from the stinking pirate, little Anne reluctantly stretched out her hand and motioned for the other party to quickly hand over the binoculars.

Anyway, this kind of enchanted gadget is not too easy for Anne to make, but it is just a matter of handy, and she can have as many as she wants! This is also the reason why she is not afraid of losing the game, just as a prize for them to play with her, what's the big deal?

"I'm sorry, Lord Witch! I don't want any magic telescopes, I just want you to help lift this curse on me and turn me back into a living person, and that's it! ”

For the telescope of the Enchanted Eagle Eye or something, although Barsabo also wanted it and coveted it, especially when Jax Sparrow fiddled in front of him from time to time.

However, compared to the curse that tormented them for countless years, and still tormented him all the time, making him unable to sleep, unable to taste good food and wine, and unable to even eat an apple, the most important thing is to lift the curse and return to the identity of a living person, and the rest, under this premise, is not so important.

"Lift the curse? It's not impossible......"

Anne suddenly remembered that this pirate still seemed to have that strange immortal curse on his body.

If you just want to lift this curse as a prize, perhaps, it is not so unacceptable. Anyway, whether it's lifting the curse or enchanting an enchanted item, it won't be more difficult for her than casting a shattered fire.

"This is absolutely not going to work! Master! You must not lift the curse on him! Sister Charlotte said that only after he led us to the treasure could the curse be lifted for him. ”

Seeing that his Anne master was a little moved, Cecilia, the twin sister on the side, hurriedly reminded Anne.

She remembered Charlotte's request, before they set off, the two sisters had been explained, when they went to sea, in addition to taking care of the master's daily life, they also had to be wary of these pirates or play any kind of caution, and it was absolutely not okay to ask for the curse to be lifted in advance!

"That's right! A pirate like Barbossa, he's the most cunning! Now that you've lifted the curse on him, maybe he'll sneak away without knowing when! ”

On the other side, her twin sister Christina was also helping, and she felt that this bearded Barbossa was definitely not a good person.

"Huh? That's right! I can't lift the curse for you yet! You'd better get another reward, hurry up, I'm going to rest later. ”

After the two twin sisters reminded themselves, Anne also remembered the incident.

After all, they went to sea to play this time in the name of looking for treasure. How embarrassing would it be if you didn't find any treasure when you went back? Although she didn't think the pirate would be able to escape under her nose, she didn't want to bother staring at the other party all day, so she let him continue to be cursed.

"Aha! Lady Anne, this is a wise decision! ”

"I know this scoundrel very well, he must have thought so, and once you lift the curse on him, I, Captain Sparrow, can promise you that if you are not careful, you will let him run away!"

Jack, who gloates and fears that the world will not be chaotic? Sparrow also hurried to the side to mend the knife.

He hated Barbossa, the culprit who robbed him of the Black Pearl in the first place! Therefore, he will definitely spare no effort to do things that can make the other party unhappy, even if it is harmful to others and not to himself.

"I know him best! Witches, I swear! Once you lift the curse on him, he won't take us to find the treasure again, and he'll probably jump into the sea at any point! ”

"Bastard Jack! You'll regret it! ”

Barbossa, who was debunked, glared at Jack in annoyance? Sparrow, I can't wait to pull out the knife and fight this guy who has been coming with him all day long!

"Regrets? No, no, no, the great Captain Jack Sparrow never regretted it! ”

Sparrow twisted his waist and ran behind the three witches, pinching his orchid fingers behind him, and looked at Barbossa triumphantly. Being able to cause trouble to the other party is his greatest joy, how could he regret it? And how can you regret it? Something impossible!

"Humph! So, how about this? I'm not going to touch the curse for now, I want the Black Pearl as a prize! This condition should be okay, right? ”

After sneering and glancing at the triumphant Jax Sparrow hiding behind the witch, Barbossa quickly came up with a good idea to fight back against his opponent and said something else that could serve as a reward.

Didn't Jack Sparrow with himself all day? Isn't he the most eye-catching Black Pearl? So, now let's put that ship under my own name first!

"Black Pearl? Is it the battered black ship in the harbor? ”

It was only after hearing the name again that little Anne remembered the dirty, tattered-looking black ship that was still moored in Port Royal Harbour, which she had not chosen yesterday when she was going to sail.

"If it's the black ship, yes! Then it's decided, it's yours! ”

Anyway, it's not my own thing, and I can't look down on it anyway, so little Annie doesn't feel distressed at all when she sends it out.

That black ship, it is said, was captured the night before yesterday when the bearded man drove to attack the port, right? Now it's sent back, as if she didn't lose anything herself, right? Then I decided to give it back to him when I went back.

"Nope! The Black Pearl is mine! ”

Jack who moved a rock and ended up smashing his own foot? Sparrow suddenly became anxious, he really regretted his cheap mouth just now, why did he have to make trouble for himself?

"Hah! I'm sorry, but now it's mine again! ”

After hearing the words of his nemesis Jack, Barsabo immediately ridiculed back.

"What did I just say? You're going to regret it, and now you're satisfied? ”

Barbossa's desire to return the Black Pearl was deliberate, who let this bastard Jack make trouble for himself? Since he is not better off himself, then he will definitely not let him be proud!

Professional pirates are like this, they specialize in doing things that hurt others and themselves, as long as they can block their opponents or make them unhappy, they can do anything.

"You wait for me, Barbossa!"

……

"There is a situation!"

While the two were entangled over the ownership of the Black Pearl, the alarm bell on the tallest observation basket suddenly rang on the dreadnought's main mast.

When everyone on the deck looked up, they saw the lookout pointing in one direction and shouting loudly.

"There is a situation! Spanish battleship! To the northwest, there are three of them! They're coming towards us at high speed, downwind! ”

What the? Spanish battleships? In this sea? Or three? Bad thing!

After a sigh in his heart, Norrington, who is now the captain of the Intrepid, quickly took out his binoculars and looked in the direction indicated by the lookout, but he knew very well that Britain and Spain were not friendly countries at present, and the chances of the two sides meeting at sea were very high!

You know, they are the British Jamaican Islands, which they took from Spain! In this regard, the Spaniards gritted their teeth with hatred for the British, and the other party will definitely not let go of the lone dreadnought now, right?

If you think about it, if Norrington himself was a Spaniard, he would definitely come up and do a vote when he saw a lone British battleship, right? This is obviously certain, no matter who is above the sea, if he finds that he can have the opportunity to hit his opponent, he will not let it go easily.

Even if they are British, when they usually encounter a lone Spanish merchant ship at sea, don't they have the opportunity to grab it? In the face of real interests, both the Spaniards and the English, could switch between pirates and navies at any time.

Sure enough, it was a Spanish battleship!

Norrington could vaguely see three Spanish galleons from the direction he watched through his telescope, but because the bridge was not as high as the top of the lookout, he did not see it very clearly, only that the other party was flying the Spanish flag and sailing in the direction of his own.

"Oh...... It's really Spaniards, huh? They are now busy reloading...... Yes! They also opened those cannon doors! They have a lot of artillery! ”

Jack standing next to the brigadier general? Sparrow, he can see much more clearly after the telescope in his hand is enchanted!

He even saw the busy sailors on the Spanish ships, who were shouted by the officers who opened the gun doors and pushed out the guns.

"Guys, I think we might be in trouble this time."

Obviously, Sparrow saw that the Spaniards, who were ready for full battle, were going to completely eat the lone British dreadnought battleship, and they were coming with a smooth sailing, so they had no intention of letting their men escape.

If it weren't for the fact that no one would be able to catch up with his Dreadnought at full speed, I'm afraid Jack Sparrow himself would have been ready to jump into the sea at any time to escape. If you change to other ordinary sailing ships, when you are against the wind and water, you can basically declare defeat if you encounter three warships that come with the wind.

"What? Let me see! ”

Is Norrington hearing Jack? Sparrow was taken aback, and then he quickly snatched the other man's enchanted telescope and began to observe.

Sure enough, yes! The Spaniards were really ready for battle in advance, and they now had three ships, not only lined up in the best formation for the battle, but also pushed out all the guns of the ship, intending to cut head-on their dreadnought at full speed with the wind and carry out a heavy bombardment.

"What are you doing? Raise all the sails! We're going to get ready to retreat at full speed! ”

Under Brigadier Admiral Norrington's sharp command, the sailors suddenly began to get busy.

Now, Norrington seemed a little lucky, fortunately these witches had magically modified the Dreadnought, otherwise, this time in the case of headwinds, they would really be in trouble!

"No retreat!"

Hearing that there was a fight, Anne's eyes lit up.

Navigation! Venture! Fight! Find the treasure!

Aren't these exciting and fun things exactly what she came out of Port Royal this time for? After the fishing tournament, little Anne, who had been bored for a while, was looking for something to do!

Now, having finally encountered something that is not long-eyed, and has the audacity to attack her ship, how can she retreat? You have to fight! Push out the cannon and blast them to death! Little Anne has already decided that she will aim and light the cannon herself, which is very enjoyable just thinking about it!

"Now, everyone listens to me: Yang Fan accelerates! The gunners are starting to load, and we're ready for battle! ”

Little Anne stood proudly on the railing of the bridge, and began to command the stunned sailors below.

"Why don't you hurry?"

Seeing that the sailors and artillerymen below were stunned and angry, little Anne couldn't help glaring at them, and flames began to rise on her body.

"Huh? Be! Everyone, ready for battle! ”

After receiving two contradictory orders, the boatswain and the gunners were stunned for a while before they reacted, and now on the Dreadnought, everything is up to the witch! So, after hurriedly repeating the order, they quickly hoisted the sails and loaded the sails according to the little witch's order, and began to get busy.

"This ...... This, this is just nonsense! ”

Seeing that this little witch actually wanted to single-handedly take on three large Spanish warships with a dreadnought, Commodore Norrington jumped to his feet in a hurry, isn't this a mess?

"Alright, don't you worry, Brigadier General? Anyway, we have witches here, and we definitely can't lose, can we? ”

Jack? Sparrow carefully wiped down his telescope after retrieving it before tucking it back into his waist pocket, which was his treasure, and like his compass, he couldn't be taken in.

Now that there are three witches on board the Dreadnought, what does he Sparrow have to worry about? The witches have so much witchcraft, and that kind of fire magic is so powerful, how can they be afraid of the other party's three warships?

Therefore, Sparrow felt that Norrington, the rigid commodore had not been able to turn the corner, and he believed that the next naval battle must be very different from the one they had fought in the past.

"Uh...... Well, maybe you're right. ”

After Norrington was robbed of the telescope, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought about what Sparrow said, it seems that it is quite reasonable? Anyway, they have witches here, so they shouldn't be afraid, right? Their kind of fire magic is so powerful, if they can't beat the artillery battle, they can send it up at high speed and let their witches set fire to each other?

"Hey! The one above is at the helm! Hurry up and turn the ship sideways, I'm going to attack them with this platoon of artillery, you drive the boat straight like this, how can I fight? ”

Little Anne stood beside the deck gun emplacement, and when the gunners had loaded the fire demon and the cannonballs and inserted the fuses, Little Anne took the torch and turned to reprimand the helmsman who had opened the ship loudly.

Now that the enemy is starting to get closer, she can't wait to fire a few shots.
