A robot with a jet flight device constantly travels back and forth between the deck and the sea, bringing several mermaids with it at a time.

Wang Xu stood on the deck, and when the number of mermaids exceeded thirty, he slowly spoke: "Machine Legion, kill them all!" ”

A large area of bright light, that is the power of the electromagnetic gun.

The merfolk lying on the deck looked at the surface of the sea like numb slaves looking at their hanged companions.

Wang Xu grabbed a mermaid by the hair, dragged her to the bow of the boat, and whispered: "Your companion is dying, your home is disappearing, don't you want to cry?" ”

The merfolk looked up at him, their eyes devoid of emotion.

Wang Xu pushed him to the ground, turned his head to look at Jack, and asked, "Jack, I'll give you a task to help me get the mermaid's tears." ”

"Can I refuse?" Jack first asked weakly, and after looking at Wang Xu's cold gaze, he said deflatedly: "I'll try my best." ”

"Return, Legion of Machines!" Wang Xu recalled the robots and gave them new orders to repair the broken Flower Plantation and build a water prison for the thirty mermaids.

The robots took the orders one after another, and one of them left a figure behind before leaving.

Wang Xu thought it was a mermaid at first, but when he walked in, he found that it was not, this person was an old acquaintance.

"Zacquero, it's unbelievable that you're not dead!" The figure left on the deck was his second mate, Zacquero.

Zacrow looked miserable at this time, missing an ear, and there were wounds all over his body, some places were obviously bite marks, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was dried by a mermaid.

Wang Xu held the civilization stick and walked towards Zacrow step by step.

Zacrow covered his ears with his right hand, kicked his legs on the deck, and wanted to retreat, pleading: "Captain, I know it's wrong, I just want to live, please spare me!" ”

"Spare you, do you think it's possible? No way, it's a betrayal, it's a riot, and as your captain, I'll hang you on the mast until you turn into a dehydrated corpse, and that's my punishment for you! Wang Xu stepped forward step by step, he would not give the betrayer a chance, because if it was these people who succeeded, they would not give him a chance either.

"Captain, wait a minute!" Jack trotted up, stopped in front of Wang Xu, and said: "Taking the Fountain of Youth, in addition to the mermaid's tears as a medium, we also need a person to be a sacrifice, and we can't kill him." ”

"I have dozens of mermaids, and the mermaid is my sacrifice, and I don't need him." Wang Xu didn't care whether Jack stopped him, to keep Zacrow alive or something else, he didn't plan to let the betrayer go.

Jack waved his hand vigorously and emphasized again: "In the ancient legend, the sacrifice has always been a person, what if the mermaid is useless? ”

"And him..."Wang Xu turned his head slightly, pointing to Will who was watching.

Seeing Wang Xu's hand pointing at him, Will's face changed, and he nervously grabbed the long sword in his hand.

Jack blinked stupidly, looked at Wang Xu in front of him, and then looked at Will: "That's what you plan?" ”

Wang Xu nodded lightly and said: "There is a saying in the Royal Navy that all pirates should be executed, Will is your crew, naturally he is also a pirate, why can't he be him?" ”

In the face of Wang Xu's rhetorical question, Jack's brain spun quickly and defended: "Although Will is my crew, he is the first time to go to sea, so he can't be regarded as a pirate. He did not participate in a single robbery, nor did he kill anyone, he was innocent. ”

"Jack, there is not a single innocent person here, Will got on board and promised to be your crew, which is equivalent to joining the pirates. You say that you didn't participate in the robbery, you didn't kill anyone, but he didn't have time to do that, it's like joining a theft gang and stealing before you have time, can you legally say that he is innocent? No, joining is guilty, and the difference is only in the severity of the sentence. ”

Wang Xu said that here, he would raise the civilized stick and execute Zacro, drawing a successful end to this betrayal.

But before he could act, Jack stood in front of Zacrow and said loudly: "Deal, I want to trade with you, use the mermaid's tears for Will's chance to live." ”

"Deal?" Wang Xu's movements were slight, he didn't expect Jack to care so much about Will.

But yes, Will's father, Shoelace Bill, was a big fan of Jack, and during the rebellion on the Black Pearl, Bill was the only pirate to speak for Jack and was executed.

Jack is a man full of lies, but you have to admit that he has a bit of a heroic color.

Otherwise, he would not have robbed the prison three times and twice, rescued his former pirate accomplices, and won the support of everyone.

"Deal!"

Wang Xu took back the civilization stick, walked to the captain's room without looking back, and said loudly: "Put this traitor in the water prison as a sacrifice to the Fountain of Youth." ”

With Wang Xu leaving, Jack breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the deck with a smile.

Will was moved to tears, walked over to Jack's side and lay down, and whispered, "Thank you, I..."

Before he could finish a sentence, Zacrow moved, quickly got up and rushed to the bow of the boat.

Jack flew up and threw Zacrow to the ground, pressing his hands desperately: "You can't run, if you run, my crew will die!" ”

"Please let me go, I also have a wife and children, and the family is waiting for me to feed, I can't die!" Zacrow is only at the end of his crossbow, and he has consumed a lot of physical strength in the sea, and he can't break Jack's shackles at all.

Jack's face flashed with hesitation, only to be quickly replaced by determination, shaking his head, "I'm sorry, I don't have a choice. ”

After saying this, Jack turned his head slightly and said, "Will, come with a rope, I will tie his hands and feet." ”

"You accomplice, executioner who deserves hell, you will be punished, I curse you..."Zacrow roared loudly, but he couldn't change his end.

The two of them hurriedly tied Zacrow into a rice dumpling and slapped him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

After doing all this, Will breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's next?" ”

"Take it one step at a time, the mermaids here are resisting so fiercely, it should not be far from that small island. When we got the Fountain of Youth, we left immediately, this man was too dangerous, more dangerous than the murderous Blackbeard. Speaking of Wang Xu, the scene fell silent.

Can't fight, can't run, such a tricky enemy, Jack hasn't seen a few.

In his judgment, the captain of the Asian face is at least the level of David Jones.

No, David Jones wasn't that powerful, at least he didn't have the steel warrior who could shoot thunder and lightning, and he didn't have the power to smash boulders with a single sword.

The more he thought about it, the more desperate Jack became.

Comparing the gap between friend and foe, he found that there was no way to deal with it except for honest cooperation, and he really didn't know where such a monster came from.

"Come on, carry this guy to the water prison, we'll have to see some luck on the way down there."

Jack and Will work together to carry the unconscious Zacrow to the water prison where the mermaid is being held.

This water prison was transformed by a robot, and it was originally a low-level warehouse, but it was injected into seawater to serve as a water prison.

Jack looked inside, and although there was only one water dungeon, the area inside was not small, and it was separated from each other by wood.

The water level was about chest level, and there were forty-five cages, and in addition to the thirty mermaids, fifteen were empty, just enough to fit Zacrow into.
