Chapter 17 Trading Chips
Black Pearl, Captain's Quarters.
Maria placed a bottle of whiskey and a few glasses that had been polished as much as possible on the table in the captain's room, then exited the room and closed the door.
Heather, who had already deactivated the undead skeleton mode, picked up the bottle and poured two glasses, one of which was handed to David Jones: "Please, this is the best of the best in Port Royal." β
Davy Jones snatched the glass and raised his neck directly, ignoring the wine flowing down the octopus's tentacles and neck.
After drinking, he wiped his mouth and stared at Heather viciously: "Say, what do you want." β
He has been crisscrossing the sea for hundreds of years, and it is the first time that he has suffered such a great loss and such a great humiliation.
Heather took a sip of her glass and shook her fingers: "NONO, IT SHOULD BE [WHAT CAN YOU GIVE]." This is the 'negotiation' you propose, you are the bidder, and I have the right to choose whether to accept it or not. β
"The bullshit of the so-called Pirate Code again? I was there at the first Pirate Convention, and those poor ghosts could only take a bunch of to make up the Pirate King's tokens......"
"Mr. David Jones, if you want to show your identity as an old person, I'm afraid you've chosen the wrong person." Heather interrupted Davy Jones' pressure and said indifferently, "Let's get straight to the point, okay?" β
The corners of Davy Jones' eyes twitched, he picked up the wine bottle from the table and poured himself another glass, and drank it again before he slowly spoke: "...... I can stop holding Jax Paro accountable for his debts, and you'll have a clean navigator from now on. β
ββ¦β¦ Uh-huh, and then what? Heather motioned for David Jones to continue.
Davy Jones slammed his fist on the table, and the wine bottle fell on the table with a thud: "I erased Sparrow's entire hundred years of service, and that's not enough!?" Don't go too far, boy, I'm David Jones, the captain of the Flying Dutchman! β
"Yes, yes, Davy Jones, the Lord of the Deep Sea, is indeed a great man."
Heather raised her glass in response, "So what?" Should I respectfully let you go, and give you one by the way? Don't be stupid, sir, you yourself know very well that it's because you can't escape from me that you start 'negotiations', don't you? Now that you're on the weak side, you should act like the weak side. If bullying the weak for hundreds of years has overinflated you, you might as well take this opportunity to relearn it...... What is reverence? β
Davy Jones' teeth creaked in his mouth, and the octopus tentacles in his jaw twitched with excessive rage. But he didn't dare to turn his face, because he knew in his heart that it was indeed because he couldn't beat and couldn't escape, so he launched the 'negotiation' in humiliation.
A powerful man with strange sorcery, leaping between ships with his own power, and still immortal, Davy Jones, who has lost the North Sea Monster, can't figure out how to defeat them.
He tried to calm his mind, and said in a tone that was barely pleasant, "...... The Flying Dutchman is willing to serve you, Captain Heather, for three years. β
Heather sat down in her new, comfortable captain's chair and crossed her feet on the edge of the table: "Not enough, go on." β
ββ¦β¦ Within ten years, I will hand over forty percent, nay, fifty percent of the treasure of the plundered ships! β
"Noβenough ββ!" Heather frowned: "That's it?" This is the best bargaining chip you can come up with after hundreds of years on the sea? To be honest, I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Davy Jones. β
Seeing that this black-haired star was growing higher and higher with murderous energy, Davy Jones felt panic and urgency for the first time in a long time, and yelled angrily: "Then you can tell me what you want me to do!" β
"Oh...... Let me make the bid, it's your own free will. β
The corners of Heather's mouth curled, and she gently shook the wine glass in her hand: "Mr. Davy Jones, do you know the pirate 'Blackbeard'?" β
"Blackbeard...... Edward Titch? β
Davy Jones touched the octopus tentacles on his jaw and had a little impression of the name: "I have an impression of him, he is a ruthless stubble. What, you're going to let the Flying Dutchman take your place to destroy Blackbeard? β
"Difficult?"
"It's not a question of difficulty, it's that no one can find Blackbeard and his Queen Anne's Vengeance right now."
Davy Jones also found a chair to sit down, and the crab leg knocked on the floor:
"Four years ago, Blackbeard owned four pirate ships as a powerful pirate for his fleet, and the flagship of the fleet was none other than his beloved ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge. But because of his bold act of plundering the port of Charleston in North Carolina, he was surrounded by the British Royal Navy......"
There are seven pirate kings in the Pirate of the Caribbean, namely the Pacific, the Caribbean, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, the Black Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Caspian Sea.
Although Blackbeard is not one of the Seven Pirate Kings, the strength of his fleet far surpasses them, and even in the world, it is famous.
Blackbeard is rumored to be able to use all kinds of black sorcery, and no one can beat him in hand-to-board combat, and he is known for his ability to refine zombies with great swords and muskets, and he will select famous ships worthy of collection from his defeated opponents and store them in glass bottles.
Blackbeard's fleet roamed the seas until four years ago, when the Royal Navy besieged Okrak Bay, destroying all four of his warships, and it was rumored that Blackbeard himself was beheaded by Captain Maynard of the Royal Navy.
But legend has it that after Blackbeard's head was cut off, his headless body swam around the Queen Anne's Vengeance three times before re-aboard the ship, where his injuries healed without healing.
The Queen Anne's Vengeance broke through the blockade of the Royal Navy and plunged into a sudden thick fog on the sea, and Blackbeard and his ship were never seen again.
"Of course I know what you're talking about."
Heather poured herself another half glass of whiskey, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"I need you to take advantage of the fact that the Flying Dutchman can dive into the currents and move around the world's seas to find out about Blackbeard for me."
"Don't you need me to sink him?" Davy Jones was a little skeptical, but it's as simple as that?
Heather couldn't help but laugh, "It's not that I underestimate you, Mr. Davy Jones, as long as Blackbeard is still on the Queen Anne's Vengeance, you can't defeat him." Find him, and I'll take care of the rest. Of course, Jack's debts also have to be written off. β
Davy Jones pondered for a moment: "That's the condition you let us go?" β
"yes, it's easy, isn't it? Then, it's my turn to make a trading proposal to you. Of course, it's up to you whether you accept it or not. β
Heather leaned forward and said slowly:
"Want to know anything about [Calypso]? Do you want to lift this curse of no man and no ghost, and turn back into the high-spirited Captain Davy Jones who belongs to the human body? β
