Chapter 92: Negotiation (2nd Update)
"Frost!" Shen Yi shouted into the intercom as he ran.
"I'm here, sir. β
"Report on the battle and casualty figures!"
"With the exception of Jax Sparrow, the other four Pirate Kings have all been wiped out, but we have lost thirty-two recruits and four veterans, and the battle has been raging. "Frost's new recruits are ordinary soldiers, and veterans are elite soldiers.
"Arias, how are they?"
"They're good, they're stronger than before. You've got all the tokens and scrolls you need, plus three Combo Scrolls and a Water-based Scroll. β
Shen Yi laughed: "Very good, Frost, let Harpy learn the Eye of Death, let Knight learn the Swift Wind and Sword Rain, let John learn the Iron Hook Soul Deterrent, and let Lyle learn the Body Protector Sword Formation." Then send the combo scroll down, and you can learn the combined blow. I also need an elite team of at least 12 people, including two substitutes. So I need you to train me another Assault, a Scout, and a Medic, can you do that?"
"We've got some rockets and your special bullets in our hands, if you'll allow me to use them to my heart's content......"
"Use it, just use it, don't save it for me, soon we'll have new special bullets, better kinds...... We'll blow up the city in ten minutes, and until then I want you to do everything you can to improve yourself. What's the saying?"
"Let the blood of the enemy become our gasoline, let the flesh and blood of the enemy become our food, let the soul of the enemy become our endless source of courage, and exchange the lives of the enemy for our powerful and indestructible power!"
"That's right, Frost, let's do it, it's the time to reap life!"
End of call.
βββββββββ
In front of the dock of the shipwreck city, Jack Sparrow looked at the tragic scene in front of him with a gloomy face.
With the exception of the Black Pearl, almost all of the pirate ships were burned. The flames were raging all around, the sea was littered with fragments of ruined ships, and the floating corpses were stacked on top of each other, looking like countless dumplings in a cauldron.
"This ...... Bastard!" Jax Sparrow cursed from between his teeth - shipwreck city is the home of pirates. Pirates can care less about other pirates, but they can't care less about Shipwreck.
Anyone's home is destroyed, and they are not in a good mood.
"At least he left the Black Pearl...... I think he was just trying to get a token, and maybe his methods were a little extreme. For some reason, Wildurna actually defended Shen Yi. Perhaps this is because in his bones he never considered himself a pirate. Without a sense of belonging, there will naturally be no pain in the loss of the shipwreck city.
Elizabeth glanced at her fiancΓ©, although she was a cunning woman who yearned for freedom and knew that Shen Yi could not spend so much money purely for the sake of the token, but after all, she didn't go against her fiancΓ©, so she could only remind: "The token is still in his hand, if you don't want to suffer this loss in vain, Jack, when you see him, it's best to endure this breath first." β
Jakesparrow took a long breath. Yes, the token is still in the other party's hand, and in terms of transaction, Shen Yi still owes himself two tokens.
If you turn your face now......
"I'm afraid this kid has already run away. Jack Sparrow replied with a grim face. After such a big disaster, anyone should run away, right?
Elizabeth replied leisurely, "Believe me, Jack, he definitely didn't run. β
"Why?"
"Because he's coming. β
Not far away, Shen Yi's figure finally appeared, the figure beating under the firelight was like a ghost, smart and fast, and there were a few of them behind him. Shen Yi stopped when he was still about thirty meters away from Jack and waved his hand at Jack Sparrow: "Captain Jack, it's really nice to see that you are safe and sound. β
"Maybe it's disappointment, maybe you'd rather see me die in some unknown corner, so that you can take my token with you, and then go to the dead woman and get what you want. The big sword in Jax Sparrow's hand was already pointing diagonally at Shen Yi. If it weren't for the fact that the token was in the other party's hand, he was afraid that he wouldn't even say a word now, and he would directly slash it with a sword.
Shen Yi smiled and said, "Hey, what's wrong?
"You destroyed the city of sunken ships, and broke the agreement between us! You liar, you dare to take advantage of me!"
Shen Yi's face was slightly straight: "I don't understand when we agreed not to destroy the Shipwreck City?" I only remember that in our agreement, it was stipulated that after entering the Shipwreck City, it was up to me to decide what to do, and you would obey my command." But in fact, while I was fighting the enemy, you were there to stand by!"
Jakes Sparrow yelled, "I said I wouldn't fight!"
"You're talking about not fighting with the Pirate King, not anyone else!" Shen Yi also roared: "You watched your allies fall into a bitter battle, but stood by and watched, have I ever complained? You even took the opportunity to blackmail me at a critical moment, does this seem like the performance of an ally? I don't blame you, without your help, in the case of internal and external difficulties, I tried my best to settle all the troubles, and got the token, Tia Doma is about to be unsealed, you don't thank me, but you still blame me? Do you think that's fair?"
Jax Sparrow was slightly stunned. It's obvious that Shen Yi has overdone it, why is it in his mouth now, but it has become his own, isn't it?
But it's right to think about it.
Shen Yi did not promise not to destroy the sunken ship, but himself, making it clear that he would not fight with the Pirate King, but he watched from the wall when Shen Yi and Xie Rongjun were fighting, and even took the opportunity to ask for a price when they were gently injured. If he helped them when they were fighting, maybe Shen Yi wouldn't have needed the next strategy to blow up the city at all. But to put it this way...... Isn't it my own fault?
It doesn't make sense!
Jack Sparrow was a little confused.
He felt that things should not be analyzed like this, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. Obviously he is a victim, why now it seems to be the party who made the mistake.
This made him a little confused.
Pirates are accustomed to violence rather than verbal arguments, and this logical question of right and wrong makes him even more indistinguishable, so he quickly gave up continuing to entangle on this issue and continued to glare at Shen Yi: "I'm fed up with your nonsense, no matter what, you bastard destroyed my home, it's a fact! You have to pay for it!"
"It's one-ninth home!" Shen Yi corrected: "Maybe not even one-ninth." β
Jack Sparrow was speechless again.
Looking at Jack's embarrassed appearance, Shen Yi smiled: "Hey, Jack, don't be so angry, I know you have feelings for the city of sunken ships." But you have to understand that home is always more important than life. You're not willing to help me, and if I want to deal with so many opponents, I'll have to use some extraordinary means. You see, I've never seen you as an enemy. You know if I wanted to be sorry for you, the Black Pearl is long gone by now. No matter what you think of me, Jack, I'll treat you as a friend. β
He took a few steps forward, closer to Jack, the expression on his face was sincere, and he didn't mean anything defenseless, and Jack's sword finally lowered slightly.
Shen Yi continued: "We should understand a truth: if you don't pay, you don't get in return. You long for freedom, money, and the sea, and you pay the price of being wanted and become a criminal, you want to be the captain of the Black Pearl, and the price you pay is to be hunted down by David Jones, and now you want to make this demon haunt you again, then the price you pay is the disappearance of the shipwreck city...... Everyone has something to do for their dreams. β
"It's too costly. Jakesparrow replied helplessly.
"It's not huge. Shen Yi shook his head: "There are some things that have been lost and can never be returned, such as life." Something is lost but can be returned, such as a city. Morgan and Bartholomir were able to establish a shipwreck city, establish a pirate code, and become pirate emperors. Why can't you?"
Jack's heart jumped when he heard this, and Shen Yi had already spread his hands: "Jack, my friend." You see, I've killed all eight Pirate Kings for you. Now the only remaining pirate king in the Nine Seas is you. You can use your identity and name to reorganize the pirates and rebuild the shipwreck city here...... According to your will, your will, build a shipwreck city that is entirely yours. You will be the Emperor of Pirates, the maker of a new pirate code, and the master of a new shipwreck city!"
"So, I didn't destroy your home, Captain Jack Sparrow. I just cleared the way for you and paved the way for you to new glory...... You can have a new home for as long as you want!"
Speaking of this, Shen Yi looked at Jax Sparrow with a smile on his face.
Jakesparrow opened his mouth, unable to utter a word. I have to say that Shen Yi's words really aroused his strong interest.
The king of the world's seas...... Builders of the new shipwreck city.
What kind of glory would that be?
At that moment he looked at Elizabeth beside him, his brainchild, and then asked in a low voice: "What do you think he said...... How?"
Elizabeth was also stunned.
She thought for a moment before saying, "Sounds good...... This man has a mouth that can tell the dead alive. β
"That's true, the problem is that I don't know if I should trust him anymore. β
"Then let's see his sincerity first. Elizabeth replied. Then she said loudly to Shen Yi, "You may want to give us the map and a token first." That's what we deserve, doesn't it?"
This woman is indeed very shrewd, unlike Jack Sparrow, she did not lose her current vigilance because of the distant beauty, but directly introduced the problem to Shen Yi's crux.
Whatever the future holds, grasp the present first.
A person who can't keep even basic promises, no matter how fanciful he says, can't be trusted.
Of course, Shen Yi knew that if he took out the token at this time, Jack Sparrow would probably not be as easy to talk as he is now.
The problem is that he just regarded himself as a friend, but now he doesn't even take out what he promised to the other party, isn't it just beating himself in the mouth.
After giving the token to the other party, does the other party immediately turn his face, or continue to let him lobby?
Shen Yi didn't know, and he wasn't sure.
But at this moment, he can't gamble.
"What's the matter? reluctant to do it, or do you plan to regret it?" Seeing Shen Yi hesitate, Elizabeth sneered.
Shen Yi shook his head: "Of course not, it's yours and it should be given to you." Even if you turn your face as soon as you get something. β
Shen Yi finally made a decision, not because he believed in how noble Jack Sparrow's character was, but because he suddenly realized that even if Jack Sparrow got the token, he wouldn't dare to turn his face with him - what he needed was to send all nine tokens to Tia Dolma, not one less.
As long as he is still valuable to him, then he has to be at his mercy.
He took out the map of the end of the world and a token and threw it to Jack Sparrow.
It seems that he didn't expect Shen Yi to be so easy to speak, even Elizabeth was stunned, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Shen Yi had already continued: "Look, I kept our promise. Captain Jack, no matter what you think, I've never treated you as an enemy. While what I have done has made you unhappy, I firmly believe that it is the price you must pay for success. That's why I've come to explain everything to you. Now that I have said all that I have to say, it is time to go after my enemies. I've wasted too much time here. β
Shen Yi said and turned his head and left.
Hong Lang hurriedly followed behind him and asked in a low voice, "What are you kidding? Just give them the things?" Black Pearl ......
Shen Yi glared at him, and Hong Lang immediately shut up.
In the distance, Jax Sparrow and Elizabeth glanced at each other, and Elizabeth suddenly raised his voice, "Your enemy is not dead yet?"
"There were four, but I could catch up with them. β
"Come on, they've been gone for so long, there's no way you're going to catch up with them. You're wasting your time, we should go find Tia Doma right away!"
"I will not do anything else until I kill all my enemies. Shen Yi replied: "I am mortal enemies with those guys, and I will do whatever it takes to kill them!"
"Are you sure you're talking about whatever it takes?" suddenly exclaimed Jack Sparrow.
Shen Yi stopped and looked back at Jakes Sparrow, and he nodded affirmatively: "Of course." β
Jack Sparrow immediately exclaimed, "Four tokens! I'll take you after your enemies." Jack Sparrow calculated very clearly, he knew that Shen Yi and they needed at least three tokens, so he proposed to ask for four more, which just looked at Shen Yi's bottom line.
Shen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Four, you have a great appetite, Captain Jack." β
"I can help you myself this time. Jakes Sparrow replied.
"Okay then, deal. Shen Yi nodded in agreement.
Everyone walked towards the Black Pearl, and as they walked, Shen Yi said to Hong Lang: "Remember this sentence, Hong Lang...... Greed is the source of motivation, but it is also the source of evil. β
"Yes, I remember, head. Hong Lang replied, with fierce murderous intent in his eyes.
How dare you open your mouth to them, Jack Sparrow, you are bound to pay for your greed.

PS: Well, I broke my promise, and I said that the results of one chapter a day will be added for the time being. But I don't think it's annoying. Hehe.
Work hard to code words, nothing can defeat us, hehe.
