Chapter 113: Blackbeard
Instead of cleaning, the Black Pearl needs to go to the harbor to replenish supplies and dismiss some of the ship's sailors.
This time it's to find trouble with Blackbeard, and after getting along for a while, Jack has realized that his group is not trustworthy and there are too many people on board.
"Cut down on the number of people, leave a dozen or so good players, and then set off after filling up the supplies. ”
"You can arrange these things. ”
Blackbeard is different from Jack, who prefers to spend most of his time in the Caribbean Sea, where the sea conditions are relatively calm and the climate is pleasant.
Blackbeard's range of activity is much larger, almost the entire Atlantic Ocean is his activity area, and if they want to find trouble with Blackbeard, Jack and they will have to leave the Caribbean Sea and enter the Atlantic, and may even go to the Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea to search.
The Mediterranean Sea is much more complicated, and no one knows for sure what will happen along the way from the Caribbean to Europe, and an accident will kill you in the middle of the ocean.
Going to sea is still a matter of life in this day and age, but Jack doesn't think he's going to die in the Atlantic, especially with Ethan on board.
"Wipe it clean, our guests can't stand such a messy room. ”
"Don't bother, you can repair and maintain the Black Pearl, and I will solve the health problem when I go to sea. ”
As a pirate paradise in the Caribbean, Tetuga was the only port suitable for repairs, and upon arriving, Jack settled most of the crew's wages and left some good hands behind to begin maintaining the ship.
Mr. Gibbs was sent out by him to negotiate the purchase of various supplies, while he remained on board to urge the crew to thoroughly clean the cabins.
Sailing ships of this era are not just dirty, even on the open deck, the whole ship will exude an inexplicable smell.
Even the naval warships of Port Royal could not avoid this situation, but it was only slightly better.
The situation on a pirate ship like the Black Pearl was unbearable, and Ethan felt like he was in a mix of a junkyard and a public toilet, and even if he used magic to block out the unbearable smell, he was standing all the way up the stern of the ship.
In addition to not being able to stay in the cabin, another reason is that there are not so many rooms on the Black Pearl, and the separate captain's room has been given to Elizabeth, and people like Jack and Will have to huddle with others in the common cabin or even find a corner to rest.
If Ethan spoke, of course, the only room could be given to him, but he couldn't go out of his way to rob Elizabeth.
If it was Jack before, seeing Ethan's style, he would definitely have to taunt him, a guy from an aristocratic background, who couldn't stand such a dirty environment, and maybe even teased him.
However, since he regarded Ethan as a special existence in his heart, he rarely joked with Ethan, even the famous Jack Sparrow, who was in awe of some special in his heart.
Ethan didn't particularly emphasize that he wasn't the existence he thought he was, anyway, in his heart, the relationship between himself and Jack Sparrow was probably like that.
Especially after finding Blackbeard and dealing with Davy Jones, maybe the two of them don't cross paths again.
After a period of time in Tetuga, the Black Pearl, replenished its supplies, returned to sea.
When the Black Pearl went out to sea, Ethan directly cast a spell to give the interior of the ship a thorough clean.
As a magical breeze swept through every corner of the ship, and finally fell into the sea with a thick and foul-smelling black smoke, the entire Black Pearl was as clean as a newly built ship except for a few places that showed a sense of obsolescence, and even the most secret corners were no longer a little dusty.
"Oh, and such handy magic?"
Jack ran back and forth several times inside and out, almost looking at the most difficult corners of the Black Pearl to clean, and the results made him extremely amazed.
"Why didn't you use it last time?"
"I hadn't mastered this spell at that time. ”
At that time, Ethan himself did not master many spells, and relied more on the equipment on his body to cast spells and fight.
Now that he was a true magician, he had already learned a lot of spells like this to make his life easier, but he rarely used them on his Dawn Goddess.
Jack was stunned for a moment, he understood a remarkable thing from Ethan's words: Ethan's strength seemed to be improving? At that time, he felt that Ethan was as strong as a god, what should he be like now?
"Do you suddenly think that your little trouble is not a problem at all?"
Jack showed a very indescribable smile, happy that he no longer had to worry about the big trouble of David Jones, but also mixed with a little bit of what he had been worried about for so many days, but in the hands of others it was just a small problem that could be solved with a wave of his hand, is this gap too big?
In the past, he thought that there was no problem in this world that could not be solved by his own wisdom, even if it was David Jones, he was not without a direction to solve, but it was more troublesome to do it.
Only here is Ethan, he feels that no matter how much he uses his brain, there is no possibility of defeating Ethan.
The difference in strength is too big, no matter what method he comes up with to calculate Ethan, I am afraid that he will use a simple and crude method to crack it.
The sailors on the ship were amazed by the magic Ethan had cast before, but no one dared to come close to Ethan. Ethan, who possessed this mysterious method, made them feel extremely awe and fear, and even tried to avoid Ethan when he walked.
Fortunately, Ethan stood in a daze on the stern tower most of the time, and it didn't affect these sailors to do their own work.
"How long will it take us to find Blackbeard?"
Jack was looking at the compass to adjust the direction of the voyage, and when he heard Ethan's question, he casually handed the steering wheel to Gibbs, and then walked to the railing and looked at the sea in the distance with Ethan.
"I don't know that. ”
His compass could only point in the direction, but it didn't allow him to know how far away, and from the direction the compass pointed, Blackbeard should be in Europe, whether it was in the Mediterranean or the North Sea, and he would not know until his ship crossed the Atlantic.
"Forget it, I just hope this guy doesn't run around. ”
It would be unrealistic to expect Blackbeard not to run around.
After a long and boring voyage, the Black Pearl finally crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the waters of Europe, and then after a while, it was discovered that Blackbeard seemed to be sailing in the direction of the Mediterranean.
At the beginning, the direction given by the compass showed that Blackbeard should have been in the North Sea, so the Black Pearl was aiming straight in that direction, and did not sail to the offshore waters of the European continent like ordinary merchant ships, and then sailed north along the land route.
What he didn't expect was that Blackbeard went all the way south and went to the Mediterranean, which forced the Black Pearl to draw an arc in the Atlantic Ocean and take some more unjust roads.
Ethan, who was already very irritable, was in an even worse mood now, and just by looking at his face, Jack could think of what kind of sad fate Blackbeard would face.
The truth was similar to what he had guessed, and when the Black Pearl arrived in the Strait of Gibraltar, it finally caught up with the Queen Anne Avenger, who was scurrying around.
The distance between the two sides is not too far, and you can even clearly see the condition of the deck of the other party's ship with a telescope.
Jack Sparrow was looking at the other side, and Blackbeard was also watching Jack's Black Pearl, and there were some doubts on his face, wondering how his famous Blackbeard had become someone else's prey?
The Black Pearl is a distinctly pirate ship, and this ship is still a little famous for its pitch-black and even black sails, especially among the pirate community.
Who gave this guy the courage to challenge himself?
As for whether the captain of the Black Pearl was Jack Sparrow or Barbossa, he didn't care at all.
"If you want to die, then I will fulfill you. ”
Blackbeard is not a good-natured person, and if a pirate is provoked by another pirate and does not respond, how will he mix up in the future? Not to mention the famous Blackbeard.
Just as the Queen Anne Avenger was adjusting its course, a flash of fire jumped up from the Black Pearl, and then flew straight towards the Queen Anne Avenger.
"What's that?"
From a distance, I thought it was a rocket or something, but what kind of weapon did you have to shoot a rocket at such a distance?
But when he used the binoculars to take a closer look, Blackbeard Edward Teachy almost threw the binoculars away in fright.
"One...... People?"
It was a man with a pair of huge flaming wings spread out behind his back, and he was rushing towards him at great speed.
He didn't know if it was a person or something else, and instinctively thought he might be in big trouble this time.
"Everyone! Get ready to shoot!"
Just as Blackbeard gave the order and his pirates took out their muskets and didn't have time to raise their guns to aim, Ethan had already landed on the deck of the Queen Anne's Avenger.
It only took a short time from Ethan rising into the air to falling in front of Blackbeard, so short that Blackbeard didn't even think of what to do?
And such a fast speed did not cause great damage as before, in the moment of falling, Ethan had already reduced his speed, and the last few meters of distance fell on the deck as lightly as a feather, and then calmly let countless muskets point at him.
"You're Blackbeard Edward Teach?"
