Chapter 55: In the Midst of the Bureau

Due to the existence of the Parrot of Destiny, Jack Sparrow no longer had any doubts about Shen Yi's acceptance of Tia Thoma's commission.

In this case, everyone has a common goal.

This is also a big reason why he came to the Rover.

For Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack, who is also one of the nine pirate kings, had no intention of attacking the other pirate kings, after all, it was a violation of the piracy convention.

Despite the arrogance of the pirates and their ignorance of any laws, the Pirate Convention, which was drafted by the pirates themselves, still has a certain binding force on every pirate king.

Thus, despite having a good relationship with Tia Torma and a material desire for Tia Torma, Jack Sparrow was easily reluctant to take action against other pirate kings - the Caspirate King Barbossa was perhaps the only exception.

But now the situation is different.

This is the middle of the Caribbean Part III. Elizabeth and Wildurna have just rescued Jax Sparrow from hell.

Their purpose in saving him was to use the power of the Black Pearl against the Dreadnought.

As for Jack Sparrow, unless he agrees to serve on the ghost ship for a hundred years, even if he escapes from the Devil's Prison, once Davy Jones knows that Jack Sparrow is not dead, then he will definitely hunt him down again. This made Jack Sparrow have a need to unseal the female sea god. Because only she can deal with the ghost ship.

There are two small changes to the plot here. One is that Barbossa is not involved in the process of saving Captain Jack. The second is that the map of the end of the world is not on the Black Pearl, it is still in the hands of Captain Howling Wind. Elizabeth has an amazing memory, and she used her memories to memorize the map of the end of the world and find her way to the Hell, but this memory is not long-lasting.

And for Jack Sparrow, that map of the end of the world was exactly what he wanted.

As a result, Shen Yi and Jack Sparrow soon had a common language at this moment.

Before the negotiation began, Shen Yi first glanced at Gentleness, and said to Elizabeth casually: "Are you interested in visiting the Rover? This was once the ship of one of the people you hated the most." Maybe you'll be interested to hear how we got rid of the baron. ”

Elizabeth's eyes lit up with excitement: "Of course. ”

Elizabeth was gently beckoned to visit the Rover, and Wildurna followed his fiancΓ©e, and Luo Hao extended the same invitation to the boatswain brought by Captain Jack.

The reason why Shen Yi instructed Gentle to take Elizabeth and the others away was actually to prepare for negotiations. In diplomatic negotiations, it is always necessary to gain an advantageous position for oneself as much as possible.

's own territory, there are many people on his side, even if he speaks, his confidence must be a little harder. Although Jack Sparrow is a smart man, the robber has always been good at dancing knives, not good at playing tricks, so he is invisibly inferior in this regard.

Now facing Jack Sparrow alone, Shen Yi said in a good time: "Then I think now we can continue to talk about the previous topic." By the way, where did we talk about earlier?"

"Freedom, my freedom. Jack Sparrow replied seriously: "I don't deny it, the ghost ship is a big threat to me, and I don't want to be locked up in that terrible place in the Demon Hell." ”

"Ahh

He lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said slowly, "I guess even in this situation, you still don't want to make a move on other pirate kings. ”

The reason why Jax Sparrow has not been able to fulfill Tia Torma's commission is not because he is incompetent, but because he has identity scruples about attacking other pirate kings. If he really attacks the other pirate kings, then even if he unseals the female sea god and defeats the ghost ship, he will be hunted down by other pirates.

Shen Yi analyzed this very clearly, and Jack Sparrow said directly: "My father is the guardian of the Pirate Code, and he is the most loyal person to the Pirate Code. Any pirate who desecrates and violates the pirate code will be attacked by him...... I'm his son after all. β€οΌˆ1οΌ‰

"Then I think a useful outsider might be of great help to you. Shen Yi smiled: "An outsider who has the ability to destroy the Dreadnought." ”

"An outsider who boarded the Dreadnought while I had attracted all of its firepower to destroy it. Jack Sparrow added unceremoniously.

"A good mode of cooperation, isn't it?" Shen Yi blinked: "You attract the attention of others, and I am in charge of the action." Maybe this pattern can continue to be used until we get what you and I want. ”

"Do you want to deal with all the pirate kings alone and snatch the tokens from them?" Jack Sparrow couldn't imagine Shen Yi's appetite.

"I'll try to be as civilized as possible. ”

"You're dreaming!" Jakesparrow immediately retorted, "and there's no need. Barbossa thought he could persuade the pirate kings to hand over the tokens. ”

"That was before. Shen Yi smiled: "Barbossa thinks that he can use the threat of the British Navy to force all the pirate kings to agree to take out the tokens." But the problem now is that Beckett is dead, but the ghost ship is still alive. ”

In the original plot, the British navy was able to coerce the flying Dutch to die for themselves because of the Soul Gathering Coffin, and used strong military pressure to force the shipwreck city. In order to protect himself, Barbossa proposed a plan to unseal the goddess of the sea. Therefore, in the original plot, Beckett's coercion is the cause, and the unsealing of the female sea god is the result.

But in the new script of Bloody City, the unsealing of the female sea god has become the cause, and the threat of Beckett's soldiers pressing the realm is just a cover and excuse that can be used to lure people.

As for now, Beckett is dead, the Dreadnought is gone, and the threat to the Royal Navy is still there, but not as great as it used to be. Even under the threat of the Ghost Ship and the Dreadnought, the Pirate Guild may not agree to unseal the female sea god, not to mention the current situation?

As for Elizabeth becoming the Pirate Emperor...... With the change of the plot, this has long become a shadowless thing, and you don't even have to think about it.

At this moment, when Shen Yi said this, Jack Sparrow also realized the problem.

The British Navy is certainly a threat to all pirates, but the Ghost Ship is only a threat to him Jack Sparrow alone. The pirate kings may not easily attack each other because of the existence of the pirate code, but they are definitely gloating about the death of other pirate kings. In this matter, it was impossible for him to ask for anyone's help, and Shen Yi's proposal became important because of this.

After thinking for a while, Jack Sparrow finally said, "I want the map of the end of the world, and we will have half of all the other tokens." ”

This sentence at least indicates that the two men have reached an agreement on the issue of jointly seizing the token.

"I don't have a small appetite, and I'm the one who works hard and hard. Shen Yi was not satisfied.

"Then you'd better figure it out, there are thousands of pirates in Shipwrecked City, and if you don't want to kill them all the way, the only way to get close to them is through me. Jack Sparrow pointed at himself earnestly.

"You're a good guide. Shen Yi smiled, he looked back at King Kong: "King Kong, in a war, if we need an internal agent to lead the way for us, how much benefit will it usually give him?"

"One thousandth of the harvest is already a good one. King Kong grinned.

Hong Lang shook his hand and replied: "Is the party leading the way qualified to share? ”

Jack Sparrow's face turned a little ugly.

He is also a dignified pirate king, and he is said to be an internal response that exists like a traitor's dog's legs, but judging from the nature of his action just explained, it really only plays this part.

With such a role, he still wants to take the lion's share in the negotiations with the other party, which is naturally a bit unexpected.

He is not a person who is good at negotiation, he has nothing to say at this moment, he always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say anything, so he can only look at Shen Yi angrily: "Cooperation requires sincerity!"

"Judging by your offer, I don't see sincerity. ”

"Then how do you say it?" completely exposed the essence of Jack Sparrow's inability to control the negotiation situation.

"According to the number of contributors. You're in charge of taking us in, and I'll count you in for it. We are responsible for fighting and obtaining the Pirate King token. ”

"There are five of you. ”

"That's right. ”

"So I can only get one-sixth?" Jack Sparrow looked at Shen Yi in surprise, the other party's appetite was too big, right?

"It's already pretty good. Shen Yi replied very sincerely: "I don't need you to contribute, just bring us in." ”

King Kong also patted Jack Sparrow on the shoulder and said, "Actually, why do you care too much about Tia Dolma's belongings, what is more important than freedom?"

Hong Lang also came up to persuade Captain Jack: "Think about the risk we have to take, if we fail, there is only a dead end, and you will never have to worry about this problem." Captain Jack, it's a fair deal. ”

The three of you bombed Jax Sparrow in turn.

This brainwashing statement made Jack Sparrow groggy, although he felt that this was very inappropriate, but Shen Yi's proposal was indeed reasonable in terms of reason.

Unable to find any reason to argue, Jack could only exclaim:

"Okay, this matter is put on hold for now, and I still have to think about it. ”

For him, this is already a huge concession.

"No problem. Shen Yi was very good at speaking: "Then now, there is still one question left." ”

"What?" asked Jack.

"I need to know what they're capable of. Captain Jack, if you were to fight any of them, who would be better?"

"It's all the same, but I'm better. ”

"Then ......" Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally said, "Hong Lang, go and fight with our Captain Jack." ”

Hong Lang clenched his fists so loudly that he smiled: "Happy to obey." ”

Raised his hand and punched Jax Sparrow in the face......

Hong Lang and Jack Sparrow were fighting, while Shen Yi and King Kong were chatting casually while watching the two fight.

King Kong smiled: "The two sides cooperate, one side can only get one-sixth of the harvest, but the other side gets five-sixths." How did you come up with the idea of a per capita allocation? It's a terrible idea. ”

Shen Yi watched the two fight in the distance, and replied in a low voice: "If you watch the news more, you will learn a lot of political skills." On the planet, when China became the world's second largest country in terms of GDP, our leaders' favorite words were that we were still a developing country, and our per capita level was still very low...... At the Copenhagen climate control conference, when 26 developed countries set emission reduction targets for all countries on a national basis, China proposed its own emission standards: those calculated on a population-by-population basis. You know what that means? If that standard passes, then China's carbon dioxide emissions standard will be five times that of the United States, because we have five times their population. ”

β€œ...... I like this standard of calculation. ”

"I like it too. Shen Yi smiled and patted King Kong Dao.

"He hasn't said yes yet. ”

"So what does it matter? I certainly don't expect him to take only one-sixth of the harvest, but as long as he accepts our standards, then no matter how much he struggles, he doesn't want to reap the big buck...... So never negotiate on the track that someone else has designed for you, otherwise no matter how much you struggle, you will never be able to jump out of the trap that someone else has designed for you. ”

"It's like being in a bloody city, no matter how powerful we are, we can't get out of its control?"

β€œ...... Yes. ”

Both were silent at the same time.

The battle continues, and Hong Lang and Jack Sparrow fight fiercely, and it seems that there is no winner in a short time.

Shen Yi's gaze became deep and distant, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, he said: "After the battle, let Hong Lang and Jack get as close as possible, and try to extract the information of other pirate kings from his mouth, and their strength is fine...... You also participate. ”

"Don't just ask him?"

"Don't give your opponent a bargaining chip. ”

"Understood. ”

ps: In Pirates of the Caribbean Part III, the pirate who guards the code in the Pirate Guild is the former pirate king Teague, that is, Jax Sparrow's father, and his status as a pirate king is inherited from his father, although I can't figure out why the poor new pirate king doesn't even have a ship, and he has to rely on the power of the ghost ship to become the captain of the Black Pearl, so that he is hunted down by David Jones all over the world.
