Chapter 315: It turns out that I am also a wanted criminal
This is Port Royal, a colonial port in the Caribbean Sea set by the Empire on which the sun never sets, and where the mighty Royal Navy is stationed, well, mighty.
Coming to the port from the mountain, Xia Yu from a distance also saw two naval warships moored in the port - the Intrepid and the Interceptor, one big and one small, one slow and one fast.
They were all just wooden sail warships, and Watt had not yet been born, so naturally there were no steam-driven ironclad warships.
Xia Yu didn't know when he had traveled at this moment, and there was no satellite, so the Red Queen couldn't provide him with any direct help.
It seems that we have to ask for directions, but why is there such a mess on this street, does it mean that the captain has been discovered?
"Excuse me, this lady, where is the blacksmith in Port Royal?"
Xia Yu stops an old lady, and Wiltner is the key to the curse and an important character throughout the film, and he first has to find this key person.
"You said old Brown's shop...... Ahh
Before the old lady could say anything, she pointed at Xia Yu and screamed, as if she had seen a ghost?
Well?
Xia Yu, who took off his sunglasses to show respect, looked confused, could it be touching porcelain? But touching porcelain is not with lying on the ground, standing and screaming is to sue Xia Yu for insulting the old woman?
The movement here quickly attracted the attention of passers-by, including the patrol guards in red uniforms.
"What's going on?"
The officer, dressed in a navy blue uniform, asked.
"He, he's a pirate."
The old lady pointed at Xia Yu's fingers trembling and scratched to the side of the notice board, on which there were many wanted notices, one of which was painted with Xia Yu's "handsome" face, which happened to be in the blind corner of Xia Yu's line of sight just now.
This, this is no one, he was a defector from Singapore before he came an hour before he was discovered by the "Chaoyang masses", in addition to grief, Xia Yu also wanted to give the system a middle finger, I didn't spend money to be arrested, you don't need to be so diligent, okay, put my wanted warrant everywhere.
In fact, it's not to blame the system, as a Singapore pirate, the most robbed is the merchant ships of the East India Company, plus Xia Yu's defection, his information was simply leaked to the Royal Navy of the British Empire by his former brother, and the wanted warrant was also issued in the direction of his escape.
"Hm~Shh~~" Xia Yu and Fourteen Niang were instantly pointed at by more than a dozen flintlock pistols.
Doesn't seem to be very powerful with these guns? However, after thinking for a moment, Xia Yu still raised his hands slightly.
Surrender? Well, surrender.
"Bang~~"
The iron door of the prison was heavily closed, this was the first time Xia Yu was in prison, and he didn't expect it to be such a medieval cell.
"Yellow Pig, what did you do to get in?"
The sound of underbeating came from the cell next door, Xia Yu didn't have any birds, so he found a relatively clean corner and spread a blanket, and sat down with Fourteen Niang.
Xia Yu came in on purpose, Captain Jack was definitely going to be arrested, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble to come in and wait for him directly?
Sure enough, less than an hour later, two strong soldiers walked in with a bewitching figure.
"Let me in, pirate."
The two threw Captain Jack to the ground like mud, and this posture was painful for Xia Yu to look at.
After a pause of less than two seconds, the rotten flesh seemed to come to life, and with both hands, he left the ground and pounced on the ashes on his body.
As an elegant (sassy) pirate, always pay attention to your image.
"Hey~~"
Looking at this funny scene, Fourteen Niang couldn't help laughing, it turns out that there are people who are funny all the time, this person is much more interesting than his brother.
The laughter caught the captain's attention, only to find out that in addition to him, there were two Singaporeans, one big and one small, in the cell here? I guess I'm a Singaporean! He had been to Singapore, where people wore tights.
"You're pirates?"
The captain asked tentatively, as pirates were usually locked up with pirates, though it was possible that there were only two cells here.
"It was, but not anymore."
"I'm Jack Sparrow, captain of the Black Pearl."
"So, Captain Jack, what about your ship?"
"Ahem, that's a complicated question."
"It was snatched by your men!"
It seemed that he had hit the sore spot, and the captain was speechless.
"Captain Jack, your glorious deeds have been spread to Singapore, and perhaps the whole world will know about it."
Xia Yu added another fire.
"Alright, don't talk about it, I'll settle accounts with those lackeys."
The captain interrupted directly, it seems that he was betrayed by his subordinates and snatched his beloved black pearl has always been a wound that is difficult for him to lick. But isn't it exactly what Xia Yu wants to do to reinvigorate the captain?
"I believe that."
"You believe me? I still don't believe in myself. β
Captain Jack laughed at himself and sat down against the wall, indeed, he shouldn't have any illusions about being locked up, though he never gave up.
"Maybe with that ship, anything is possible."
Following Xia Yu's line of sight, the captain saw the Interceptor battleship outside the iron window.
"Do you have a way?"
Jack Sparrow kept his voice so low that he couldn't hear it in the cell next door.
"Uh-huh."
"What do you want?"
As a principled and self-disciplined pirate, in fact, he still values interests, whether he is a pirate or not, without the drive of interests, there will naturally be no good things sent to the door, after all, charity is not popular at all in this era.
Although he was the one who provoked the conversation, he also wanted to see what the purpose of this Singapore pirate in front of him was.
"Simple, has the Howling Pirate King heard of it? I want his place. β
Although it is not clear whether this first part will meet Fa Ge, but this purpose is the most in line with Xia Yu's current identity, the reason for defection is nothing more than the failure of the coup d'Γ©tat, and simply wanting to retire will naturally not be wanted all over the world, I have to say that the identity given by the system is not bad.
Xia Yu, who is weak, naturally needs the help of his allies to succeed in ascending to the throne, and can become a pirate king in the Pirate of the Caribbean world, I don't know how much I can go up this degree of exploration! Besides, it feels good to open a bathhouse in Singapore.
Of course, these are Xia Yu's inner words, and no one can know except himself.
"Deal."
It's all a no-brainer, promise to come down first, and wait until the Black Pearl is recaptured before the rest, anyway, he won't lose anything before this, you must know that his ship was originally obtained by Davy Jones.
In this way, the two sides who have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
"So what do we do now?"
The captain asked Xia Yu.
"Wait"
Well, that's not funny at all.
"I've got reliable information that the Black Pearl will be coming to Port Royal tonight, and that we can take advantage of the chaos to escape."
In fact, Xia Yu has a hundred ways to get out of this cell, but Wiltner is obviously the key to the curse, it's not that he can't persuade him with his mouth, it's just that Xia Yu feels that just convincing the captain has exhausted his life's skills, and he can pick up ready-made ones to save some effort!
If the system knew that he was so lazy, they might have killed him and found the next host again.
"I said, friend, it's quite chic to take your daughter as a pirate."
The bored Jack had nothing to say, it was normal to have a daughter in her thirties, although Blackbeard's father and daughter also worked in the same boat, but Fourteen Niang looked too young.
"Whatever, huh."
In the face of other people except Xia Yu, especially the captain, who is not a good person at first glance, Fourteen Niang behaved like a lion cub.
The captain touched his nose in a deflated manner, a slut like him, and he didn't know how to quarrel with the little girl, obviously this little girl was not afraid of pirates at all.
As night fell, a ghostly black ship slowly sailed towards Port Royal, mostly falling asleep, though there were exceptions.
In the blacksmith shop, a frustrated Turner was pounding on the red-hot sword embryo one by one, he liked the girl who rescued him from the sea, but the difference in identity could only make him look at it from a distance, and he did not dare to enter, and he did not even dare to shout a kind "Elizabeth" to his face.
The red sword embryo was sparkling, and the carbon in the steel was constantly decreasing during the beating, and the sword was slowly taking shape, but after a while, Turner felt the weirdness of the atmosphere.
Maybe it was a curse from the depths of his blood, he put down the hammer in his hand, came to the window, opened the window, and saw that the fog was misty, and a black cat passed through the cramped alley, everything was terrifying, the next second.
"Whew~~boom~~"
The shells hit the walls of Port Royal directly.
"Enemy attack, fully armed."
The roar of the naval officer rang out outside, and the shaking of the cell shook the captain who was lying there on his back and pretending to sleep.
Together with the others in the next cell, they went to the bars and looked at the harbor, and the familiar black pearl came into view again.
"Barbossa !!"
For Jack Sparrow, the hatred of taking the ship is no less than the hatred of taking his wife, although Xia Yu can't understand this pain, but it can be imagined.
The pirates on board, sword and gun, poured into the shore like a tidal wave, and they had come to find the last Aztec gold coin, the damned coin that made them inhuman and ghostly.
And they've had enough of days like this.
The war began, and the navy was busy on the city walls to resist the fierce shelling of the 32 guns on both sides of the Black Pearl, and they had no time to pay attention to the pirates who had already entered the port, and it was no longer enough to describe the sins of these pirates, and they had no mercy for the innocent lives.
Compared to these people, Jack Sparrow didn't look like a pirate.
However, all this happened far away from Xia Yu, and at this moment, all they could hear was the noisy gunfire and the roar of artillery.
