Chapter 87: Jakes Parro
Caribbean, Tortuga Island, at night, the sound of muskets, laughter and curses in the town, but the sailors and women on both sides of the road with heavy makeup do not pay attention to it, because this is the norm here.
Tortuga Island means Turtle Island in Spanish, but turtles are rare on this island nowadays, and there are many pirates.
Since the discovery of this freshwater island by explorers in the early 17th century, it has become a favorite stronghold of pirates, with black markets, bars, brothels, and all the industries here are for pirates, which is why it attracts all pirates from the Caribbean.
The Turtle Bar, the largest bar on the island, is a place where the noise can drive people crazy, but the pirates are still willing to stay here, some for drink, some for women, and some for intelligence.
"Hey, have you heard, the East India Company is out of luck in the East." A pirate wearing an eyepatch mysteriously said to the pirates at the same table that everyone knew that he was about to start showing off his knowledge.
Bang!
A cloudy glass of rum was placed in front of him.
"Speak quickly, don't talk so much nonsense."
The one-eyed dragon smiled, took a big sip of the wine glass, wiped his mouth and continued: "Mrs. Qing, you all know, one of the two major pirate kings entrenched in Asia, the pirates who control the sea routes of the Qing Kingdom and the surrounding countries, and the East Indies want to open up a trade with the Qing Kingdom, so they launched an attack on her. ”
"In order to solve the Qing Lady at one time, the East India Company sent a total of a hundred ships, including ten first-class battleships and tens of thousands of artillery pieces."
"Hey, is the East India Company fighting pirates, or is it going to fight the Qing Kingdom? All such lineups lost? Mrs. Qing united with the Qing Navy? ”
"What, the East India Company was invited by the Qing State, so the Qing Navy is on the same side as them, and the two sides together must have two hundred warships, all of which were lost to Mrs. Qing."
"This is too exaggerated, the entire Spanish Navy can't defeat such a fleet, how did Madame Qing win?"
"Exaggerated? What's even more exaggerated, do you know how long it took Mrs. Qing to annihilate the coalition fleet, just one day! ”
"What, you're talking nonsense, it's not enough for two hundred pigs to be wiped out for a day, could it be that Mrs. Cheng Qing has a fleet of 1,000 ships?"
"A thousand boats, I'm afraid to scare you to death if I say it, Mrs. Qing has dispatched more than a hundred boats, large and small, but only one boat really participated in the war, and only this one boat was used for the total annihilation of the coalition army."
"Fart, you've drunk too much, even the four ghost ships can't do this."
"It's possible for the Silent Mary, that ship can still eat the ship if it doesn't die or die, and it's all for nothing to come to the ship, but the speed of that ghost ship eating the ship is a bit slow, and it shouldn't be possible to wipe out a fleet of two hundred ships."
"So, if there is a new ghost ship that combines the characteristics of the four ghost ships, is it possible to do this?"
"New ghost ship?" This time the pirates were really moved, all of them were people who begged for a living at sea every day, and they knew better than anyone that in this world, many legends are true, but no matter which legend they are in, ghost ships are not a good sign for any people at sea, they are often closely related to death.
"Yes, a ship that runs faster than the Black Pearl, is aided by a sea beast like a flying Dutchman, is as invincible as the Silent Mary, and has magical powers like the Queen Anne's Revenge, do you think it is possible for this ship to annihilate the Combined Fleet?"
"I don't think it's possible." Before the pirates at the table could speak, a drunken voice came from behind the one-eyed dragon, and everyone turned to see a pirate with a black moustache and smoke rings sitting crookedly.
"There's no ship faster than the Black Pearl, Hiccup, there's no ship..."The mustache cocked the orchid with drunken eyes and pointed at all the pirates, then took a sip of the one-eyed dragon's wine glass, and staggered away.
"Who is this grandson?" The one-eyed dragon looked at the already empty wine glass and couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Captain Jakes Parro, it seems."
"Captain? He doesn't even have a boat, what kind of captain is he. ”
"Forget it, who doesn't have a day and no tomorrow when you are a pirate, I will give you another glass of wine, and talk to us about the new ghost ship, what is the name of the ship, and who is the captain?"
"You're asking the right person, I've heard that the ship is called Zhiyuan, and the captain is a terrible Chinese wizard, his mouth is the size of a basin, and his mouth can spew flames, and he can blow up a ship in one bite..."
Leaving the noisy bar, Jakes Paro walked towards the dock in a daze, still muttering as he walked, "Ghost ship, ghost ship, what kind of ghost ship is my Black Pearl, there is not a ghost on it, only a group of ungrateful traitors..."
Boom!
As soon as Jack turned the corner, he bumped into a man head-on, who didn't move, but sat down on the ground.
"Hey, are you blind and didn't see Captain Jakesparo here?"
"You're Jax Parro?" A voice came from the darkness, seemingly intrigued by the name.
It's often not a good thing to be interested in his name, hearing this, Jack's wine woke up for the most part, he smiled at the figure in the dark, showing the gold teeth in his mouth, "No, I'm not, I'm just joking, you look at my embarrassed appearance, how can it be the wise and martial Captain Jakesparo, I'm sorry I hit you, I'll get out." ”
Jack whispered backwards as he spoke, but before he could take two steps, his back hit an obstacle, and when he looked back, he saw that it was two strong Chinese men.
"Hehe, I'm so sorry, I'm like this when I drink too much, it's easy to bump into people, I wish you a good night." Jack smiled at the two big men and immediately turned to the other side, but unfortunately, two more big men blocked his way, in fact, there were big men all around, and they surrounded him.
"I think you're mistaken, really, everyone knows that Jakesparo is the captain of the Black Pearl, but the Black Pearl isn't here, he's gone to Shipwreck Bay for a pirate convention."
"It's such a coincidence, I just want to find a guide to go to Shipwreck Bay, it just so happens that you know you so well, just help me lead the way."
"Cooked? No, I'm not familiar with Shipwreck Bay at all, I just listened to other people, yes, it was said by a one-eyed dragon in that tavern..."Before Jack could finish speaking, he was set up by two big men, and walked towards the dock behind the black shadow, at this moment the dark clouds dispersed, the moonlight shone down, and he saw a ship that was all black, but reflected the moonlight...
