Chapter 454: Jack Sparrow
Port Royal, UK.
It was late at night, but the city was filled with flames and smoke.
Groups of heavily armed soldiers were busy with their feet on the ground, and just before that, the legendary pirate ship Black Pearl attacked them, and when the night approached, they first caught them off guard with artillery, and then the pirates rushed ashore in small boats.
What is frightening is that this group of pirates is an unkillable existence, even if a bullet is fired into the opponent's body, it is still alive.
The pirates were simply invincible, and they stormed the city, burned and looted, causing a large number of casualties and inflicting incalculable damage on Port Royal.
Although the pirates had retreated and disappeared into the night, Norrington, who had just been promoted to brigadier general, could not help but be furious, and he was blushing, commanding the army to maintain order, extinguishing the fire, treating the wounded, and counting the damage.
And beside him, there was also a man wearing a wig, a fat body, and quite a dignified bearing.
The man was none other than Weatherby Swan, the governor of Port Royal, who was waiting for something with an anxious look on his face.
After a while, a handmaid in a state of confusion hurriedly ran over, and before anyone arrived, she shouted: "The master is not good, the young lady has been robbed by pirates!" ”
Boom!
Norrington slammed his fist on the table in front of him, his face gloomy.
Governor Swan's body shook when he heard this, and his face turned pale.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency the Governor." Norrington turned around and said in a firm tone, "I will definitely get Elizabeth back." ”
He only expressed his heart to Elizabeth during the day, and before he got a result, he didn't expect that the other party would be robbed by pirates tonight.
Governor Swan's face was full of concern, but he said graciously, "Thank you." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Norrington's face was serious, "What we need to do now is to pacify the people as soon as possible, and the best way is to execute the pirate caught during the day in public." ”
"Okay." Swan didn't have a good impression of the pirates now, and he agreed without hesitation.
The two tried their best not to think about Elizabeth anymore, and began to discuss how to get through the current difficulties.
The soldiers on patrol came and went, and something so serious happened that no one dares to take it lightly now.
However, no one noticed that at the port where the artillery bombarded the ruins, a man wrapped in a black robe, who did not know whether it was a human or a ghost, quietly surfaced from under the sea, and then easily avoided the patrol soldiers and entered the city.
"Sure enough, it's still a step too late."
This black-robed man was Xu Jing, and after he refined Ponce de Leon, he rushed over non-stop.
After casting a camouflage spell on himself, he swaggered down the street, observing the situation in the city and drawing conclusions.
Originally, he wanted to intercept Barbossa, the current captain of the Black Pearl, and get the Galileo's diary from him.
Before dealing with Davy Jones and the female sea god, Xu Jing was ready to find the trident of the fallen sea emperor Poseidon, and Galileo's diary not only had a map to find the trident, but also the key items to open the treasure.
However, although he didn't catch up with the plot, he was not in a hurry, his brain quickly analyzed the situation, and soon had a new plan.
"Tell me, where is the prison?"
Xu Jing casually grabbed a man who passed by him in a hurry and asked viciously.
The pirates had just raged, and the people had not yet recovered from their panic and fear, and if he asked in a good temper, strangers might not be willing to deal with him, so it was clear that it was better to be a villain at this time.
Sure enough, a trace of panic flashed on the face of the captured man, and he hurriedly raised his hands, then pointed to the location of the city wall, and said, "There." ”
Xu Jing let go of the other party and walked quickly towards the prison.
Inside the prison.
Jack Sparrow looked frustrated.
As one of the Nine Great Pirate Kings, he felt that what had happened to him was nothing short of ill-fated.
He was originally a member of the East India Trading Company and owned a very good clipper, the Bad Girl.
However, thirteen years ago, when the East India Trading Company asked him to deliver a shipment of goods, he found that the so-called goods turned out to be a group of black slaves, and under the influence of his conscience, he released the shipload of black slaves, but this behavior seriously damaged the interests of the East India Trading Company.
As punishment, Lord Cutler Beckett not only imprisoned him in a Turkish prison, but also imprinted the mark of a pirate on his hands and scuttled his Bad Girl into the sea.
Jack survived, escaped from prison, and joined the pirate camp.
In order to bring the shipwreck back from the depths, he had to make a deal with David Jones, who salvaged the wreck for him and made his ship the fastest ship in the Caribbean, and allowed him to sail the ship for thirteen years, but at the cost of becoming a sailor on the Flying Dutchman for a hundred years of service for David Jones after thirteen years.
Renaming his ship the Black Pearl and becoming a pirate, Jack sails carefree through the Caribbean, surviving by adventure and treasure hunting.
However, after only two years as a captain, he was betrayed by the first mate Barbossa and a group of sailors, who not only seized his ship, but also threw him on a desert island, giving him only a one-round gun and making him wait for his death.
Jack was lucky, this desert island was a secret warehouse for wine smugglers, and he only stayed for three days when he happened to come to load the goods, and he was eloquent enough to finally get the other party to agree to let him leave on a boat, and he saved his life.
For the next eleven years, he wandered around.
And his enemy Barbossa piloted the Black Pearl, not only obtained the token of the Pirate King of the Caspian Sea, and naturally became one of the Pirate Kings, but also became an undead creature because of the curse, although he lost the pleasure of enjoying food and women, but also became the overlord of the entire Caribbean.
Jack never wanted to recapture the Black Pearl, so during the day, he sailed a stolen boat and ventured all the way to Port Royal.
He originally wanted to grab a warship from here and recruit the crew to deal with Barbossa, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed and was instead captured and put in prison.
To make matters worse, when Barbossa came to attack Port Royal, a shell blasted through the prison walls, but the hole opened in the adjacent cell.
All but him had escaped and had no one to save him, and he had hoped to use a bone to get the key from the watchdog, but it was ruined by the appearance of two Black Pearl sailors.
