Chapter 412: Jack Returns
The arrival of Lyle and Essant was like someone throwing a piece of gravel onto the surface of the lake, only to ripple in circles at first, and it didn't take long for the lake to calm again.
After a few days of excitement, the pirates of Skull Island found that the two new legendary pirate kings did not make Skull Island lively, at least the clash between the pirate kings that the pirates wanted to see did not happen.
The two legendary pirate kings are also as mysterious as the other pirate kings, barely appearing in the pirates' field of vision.
The relationship between the legendary pirate kings is somewhat ambiguous, and it seems that no one can say what they are planning.
Andy, as always, counted the days and waited for the rum to arrive.
It's just that on this day, the atmosphere in Pirate Harbor is obviously a little different.
The pirates in the tavern seem to be excited, and according to the news brought by Charles, the son of the Ghost Sea, the son of the great Teague Sparrow, returned to Skull Island last night.
Jack is back!
With half a month to go before the Rum Festival, Jack returns to Skull Island.
Most pirates know that Jack left Skull Island half a year ago in search of a legendary artifact to adorn his father's gift to him.
It was a gift that everyone would envy, a legendary pirate ship.
The Pirate King Teague is tired of wandering on the sea, and he wants to stay on Skull Island to live a stable life, at this time, the Pirate League threw an olive branch to Teague, hoping that he would become the eleventh patriarch of the Pirate Alliance, after all, he holds the legendary Sword of Cortez, and holds the strongest power of the Azquet civilization, which is very suitable for the custody of the Pirate Code.
As for the Pirate Code, it's a new thing that the Pirate League has researched.
Pirates are lawless creatures who don't obey the laws of any empire, but too much fragmentation will only make the pirates weaker and weaker.
You know, although so far, the sea is still the territory of pirates, but the empire on land because of its abundant resources, sooner or later, will have enough power, in order to avoid pirates one day losing the last piece of the sea, so the pirate alliance has researched the pirate code.
It is a code of mystical powers, and any pirate who swears an oath will be protected by the Pirate League, but they must obey the code of pirates or face the price.
For example, it is forbidden to rob merchants in pirate ports, and it is forbidden to leak the secrets of the pirate world, the most important of which is to prohibit pirates from attacking each other for no reason.
However, this is actually of little use, after all, for some pirates, it is also a reason for him to do it if they don't like each other.
Of course, the Pirate League doesn't intend to make pirates a good guy with respect for the old and love the young through the Pirate Code, in fact, there are only a few rules to follow in the Pirate Code.
To sum up, in the world of pirates, strength is paramount.
Therefore, for some small pirates, the emergence of the pirate code will still play a very big role.
And Jack happens to be at an age where he is eager to do something big, and although Jack hasn't experienced enough, Teague believes that Jack is already capable of being the captain of the ghost thief ship.
With a legendary pirate ship, coupled with Jack's own strength and intelligence, Teague believes that Jack will eventually become a qualified legendary pirate king.
That's right, when Teague officially handed over the ghost pirate ship to Jack, the position of the pirate king of the Ghost Sea became an ownerless thing, and Teague, who became the patriarch of the Pirate Alliance, could no longer interfere in things like the pirate king competition, and if Jack wanted to become the new legendary pirate king, he needed to defeat all the pirate ships on the ghost sea that dared to challenge him!
Growing up in the Ghost Sea, Jack vowed from an early age that he would become a pirate across the seven seas and be the best pirate captain in the world.
Jack has an infinite love for the sea, and he longs to drift on the endless ocean, in his words, even if he dies, he wants to die above the sea.
is such a guy known as the son of the ghost sea, last night, returned to Skull Island.
Many pirates speculate about what treasure Jack will find, and some pirates in the know know that Jack has a special compass that Jack has obtained from a ruin in the Ghost Sea, a mysterious compass that can guide the location of what his owner desires most.
With such a compass, Jack must be able to easily find the treasure he wants, right?
There are also many people who have hit the idea of that compass, but a large number of them have lost their lives because of it, and there has been news that the compass only has a special role in Jack's hands, and in the hands of others, it is just an ordinary compass.
Even Blackbeard was secretive about it, never snatching Jack's compass, knowing that Blackbeard's desire for the Fountain of Youth, was enough to make him ignore Teague Sparrow's threat, but Blackbeard did not do anything, instead pinning his hopes on Whistling Wind's star chart.
But maybe if even the star map can't get Blackbeard to find the Fountain of Youth, he will hit Jack with his mind, and as for how Jack will make the Fountain of Ageless what he wants to find the most, that's something Blackbeard has to consider.
"So, Charles, do you know where Jack is now?"
In front of the castle of the howling wind, Andy asked Charles, who was a little nervous, this can't be blamed on Charles, after all, Jiang Shan is standing next to Andy now, with a pair of eyes as sharp as goshawks, and cold sweat continues to break out on Charles's forehead, looking cramped and uneasy.
Jiang Shan is the first mate of the Empress, the right-hand man of Howling Wind, the owner of the Heart of the Sea fragment of the Shura Sea, and has awakened the Heart of the Ocean for many years, and the compatibility is very high.
Without the Empress, Jiang Shan is strong enough to become a great pirate in the Central Sea, and Charles, who was once only the second mate of the Bloody Mary, which wandered between the Endless Sea and the Sacred Sea.
"I've heard some pirates say that he's with a sexy chick with a hot body right in the Torch Tavern. ”
Charles replied that the Torch Tavern was the second largest tavern on Skull Island, and in fact, the Torch Tavern was several times the size of the Flame and Knife Castle, and unlike Flame and Knife, it wasn't only the mighty pirates who could enter it, it was a tavern that anyone wouldn't refuse.
"A hot chick?"
Andy frowned, somehow, he thought of Daphne, the pirate empress of the Crystal Sea.
After a while, Andy smiled, he felt that something was wrong with him, he only thought this way because Daphne's sword and the Rose were anchored in the port of Idia, and Jack was there at the time.
But Andy's smile quickly froze on his face, and he suddenly thought.
A charismatic prodigal pirate like Jack might really have something to do with a charismatic female pirate like Daphne.
"Well, maybe I should go see him, after all, we're friends......"
Andy thought about it, he and Jack experienced the cursed gate together, and when they parted, Jack invited him to participate in the rum festival together, but somehow, Andy was faintly uneasy in his heart, and this uneasiness, I don't know if it was an illusion, seemed to be generated after Charles said that Jack had returned...
Andy's charming smile came to mind, and he thought about it and waved his hand at Charles.
"You go back first, maybe I'll go back to him tomorrow, but forget it tonight, I still have some things. ”
Charles nodded obediently and left, he didn't look like he was staying here, and he was even trotting away when he left.
Jiang Shan spread his hands at Andy, and Andy chuckled.
What Jack, Daphne, all have to get out of the way today, Andy has more important things to do.
Today is Anna's birthday.
Tonight, Andy has a surprise for her.
