Chapter 11 Debt Problems
When Barbossa and Jack were allowed to enter the captain's quarters, they were immediately frightened by the sight before them.
Above the quaint Aztec crates are a large number of gold skull coins fluttering between Heather's fingers like nimble birds.
"Ah, gentlemen, just in time."
Heather snapped her finger at Barbossa, "Please come over here, Mr. Barbossa." ”
Barbossa looked at Heather's ill-intentioned face and knew that he was not at ease, but he could not disobey Heather's wishes, so he had to step forward with a single hand: "What do you command, my lord?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a skull gold coin shot into Barbossa's chest like lightning, and instantly dissolved into thoughts and qi and submerged into his body.
Barbossa's face changed drastically, and for a moment he thought that he had been shot through the chest by a gold coin, and he hurriedly patted and stroked his chest, but he didn't see any injuries, not even a red mark.
What does this hairless bastard captain want to do?
Heather waved her hand, and the crate and gold were gone. Then he looked at Jack and snapped his fingers, "My dear apprentice, let our first mate bleed." ”
"Okay!"
Jack happily accepted the glorious task, and pulled out a short knife from behind his waist and slammed it directly at Barbossa's chest.
Filled with rage, Barbossa clutched his chest and took a few steps back, slamming into the wooden wall of the captain's room with a clatter, his face pale: "My lord, I ...... I...... Hey? I'm fine? ”
He touched his chest, and although there was blood oozing, it was a familiar feeling...... How did you become immortal again?
Although it was not yet night and it was impossible to use the moonlight to reveal the skeleton's true form, Heather was sure that Barbossa had indeed been cursed with gold coins and had become immortal.
Heather then asked Barbossa to leave the captain's quarters and move away from him, and even let him go for a walk around the Dreadnought. It turns out that once the gold coin melts into someone else's body as a curse, the 'no 3 meters around Heather' restriction is automatically lifted.
This is good news, if you can't get out of Heather's three-meter radius after being cursed, then the spell coin might as well not exist. Moreover, the Gold Curse still exists after the Stone Chest is removed, which means that Heather can use other weapons at will, and is not restricted by the restriction of 'single weapon manifestation'.
After a long day's work, Heather asked Barbossa to return to the captain's quarters.
He re-embodied the stone box, and Barbossa stood in front of it. As soon as Barbossa entered the 3-meter radius of the stone box, he felt that he could take the gold coin out of his body. Stretching out his palm, a golden skull gold coin appeared in the palm of his hand.
When the gold was tossed back into the stone chest, Barbossa could clearly feel the curse removed from her.
Awesome, the curse limit of the Aztec gold coin has been greatly simplified, and there is no need for the two important restrictions of 'take it out of the stone chest with your own hands' and 'you must pay it with blood', and the stone box itself, which is a weak point, has also been destroyed by the bastard captain by a wonderful means.
If used well, the captain could even create 882 undead warriors who were not afraid of death and injury to attack the city for him in a very short time, and even if he captured London, it would probably only take a few days.
Loyalty issues? The only way to lift the curse is to find Heather and put the gold back in the stone chest, otherwise she will have to endure eternal pain, who would dare to betray? Who can betray?
Thinking of this, Barbossa's gaze at Heather was very hot, if it was such a strong man, it would not be impossible for him to assist him wholeheartedly for a while, and he must obtain the use of this strange ability from him!
The following days were uneventful, and a few days later, the two ships arrived in the waters near Port Royal.
"What? Did the Dreadnought return them? Jack looked incredulous: "My esteemed mentor, that's the Dreadnought!" ”
On the deck of the Black Pearl, Heather lowered her right arm waving at the Dreadnought in the distance and looked at Jack: "Jack, my dear Jack, why are you always so petty?" It's just a British Royal Navy battleship of the first class battleship class, what's the big deal? ”
To everyone's surprise upon arriving in the waters of Port Royal, Heather kept her promise to return the Dreadnought to Brigadier General Norrington and return Governor Swan, Elizabeth, and Will to the Dreadnought.
Elizabeth said with a flushed face that Captain Heather was an upright and kind gentleman, and that 'requisition' was 'requisition', which was completely different from those stinky pirates who robbed ships. What else can Governor Swan and Will say in the face of such rhetoric? I had to echo in unison.
Even Brigadier Admiral Norrington had to admit that he had lost his eyes, and even saluted Heather on the Black Pearl in the distance from the deck of the Dreadnought.
Heather was indeed a gentleman worthy of respect.
Of course, the treasure placed on the Intrepid had already been converted into more portable gold coins, and the supplies promised by Governor Swan had been resupplied by a merchant ship a day earlier.
With that, the Black Pearl sailed away from Port Royal with a heavy load of fresh supplies and a stockpile full of gold coins.
Without the Dreadnought, the question before Jack and Barbossa is serious - who is the first mate of the Black Pearl?
In terms of closeness, Jack is Heather's apprentice, but in terms of ability, Barbossa goes out as the first mate to throw Jack out of the street.
Heather, on the other hand, was unimpressed by Jack's inquiry: "My apprentice, you are naturally the undoubted navigator of this ship. ”
"Mr. Gibbs can also be the navigator, and I think the position of first mate is more suitable for me, esteemed mentor."
Jack smiled flatteringly, and his mouth was full of big yellow teeth: "Hector is old, I'm afraid his brain will turn slowly." ”
Barbossa rolled his eyes, didn't even bother to question Jack, and turned his head to look at Heather: "My lord, where are we going next?" ”
"There are two things."
Heather raised two fingers: "First, Jack, your mindfulness cultivation course is about to start, be mentally prepared." Second, I need to take you to meet your creditor. ”
"Creditor?" Barbossa looked suspiciously at Jack, whose face had changed drastically.
"Davy Jones, the Captain of the Flying Dutchman, is a legend that has sailed the seas for hundreds of years."
Heather sat down on the newly replaced sofa chair in the captain's room, crossed his legs and said leisurely:
In exchange for the resurrection of the Bad Girl, now known as the Black Pearl, Jack made a deal with David Jones - Davy Jones helped him resurrect the Bad Girl and gave him thirteen years to be the captain, after which Jack had to return to the flying Dutchman for a full hundred years. It's almost thirteen years now, Jack? ”
Jack forced his composure: "Actually...... That deal is up for debate. ”
"My lord! Please expel this dangerous person from the Black Pearl immediately! ”
Barbossa's face changed: "It is said that Davy Jones controls the incomparably huge Norwegian sea monster, any ship will be easily crushed into dust by it, and if Jack continues to stay on the Black Pearl, I am afraid that our lives will be in danger." ”
"Peace of mind, first mate."
Heather shook her finger:
"It's because of the debt trouble, that's why I need to help, right?"
