(For the 'Humen Yan' brothers)

"! Mason! You should have told me that the target of this operation was a god! Instead of waiting until we're already on the boat! ”

On the Black Pearl, which sailed from Turtle Island to the North American continent, Za Kang, who had just climbed out of the biological cabin, had not had time to experience the "new version" of himself, and was stunned by a bad news.

At this moment he was walking around the captain's chamber of the Black Pearl, which had been re-released from the collection glass bottle into the sea, with a flaming cigarette in his mouth and scolding:

"Oh my God, that's a god! While it sounds like a foolish primordial deity according to Jack, and whose powers are nothing more than manipulating oceans and storms, she is still no ordinary being.

From the fact that she could curse a ship and become a ghost ship that sails between life and death, that guy might still have the priesthood of death!

Do you know what that means? ”

"Does that mean we'll burp when we see her?"

Captain Jack leaned against the window, reminiscing about the journey to the ocean that he had not seen for a long time, and grabbed a bottle of rum in his mouth and poured it into his mouth in the slightly fishy smell of the sea, and said in a long voice:

"Come on, man, my dear John, Colypso isn't as good as you think. She was sealed away by Barbossa's bastards, and was later freed by the Pirate Kings.

During the time she was hiding in the swamps of Haiti as a witch, I had some intimate conversations with her, and in short, I promise, she was not as dangerous as she thought.

If you really want to do it, I think we're going to have a more troublesome cleanup on the old spider's side than she is, if she doesn't stay at sea, of course.

That's her field. ”

"Shut up, Jack, you know nothing but hearsay and parroting about these supernatural things!"

Zakang snorted angrily, then turned his head to look at the others.

The Kite Man is flying around outside with a falcon's small jetpack, which is his "home attire", so he can't always carry the heavy wings he captured from the vultures with him, right?

Handsome is handsome, but the fuel consumption is too great.

That thing is a "combat suit", and it needs to be modified by the boss for firepower.

As for Erke, who sat next to him with an indifferent face and played with the Alice war knife in his hand, this guy with a calm appearance but a sassy heart had already changed into his own Isu Vanguard Armor.

It's the same as a stripper covered in sequins.

Barbara had been fine-tuning the computer on her wrist to connect with the drone corps hidden in the cabin, and the pupil of her left eye glowed with a blue dot of light from time to time, which looked very strange.

It was as if everyone except Zakang himself had no sense of the danger of this operation.

This made the Dark Mage very desperate.

Feed! Where does your faith come from? I'm the one who gets strengthened, right?

He spat out the smoke ring and looked at Mason, who was holding a storybook that had been circulated among pirates, reading the legend of the female sea god, he calmed his mind for a moment, and said in a loud voice:

"Please, tell me that you've prepared something in advance that will restrain divinity?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? ”

Mason looked up and asked very sincerely.

He apparently hadn't told Alice about the knife yet, and was going to make a joke about it.

The black mage slapped himself in the face and said in despair:

"I'm confirmed, we're dead, you really took this life without knowing anything, it's not far from Turtle Island, stop the boat and anchor!

I'll have to swim back so that I won't be covered in blood when you get killed. ”

"Alright, John, I'm kidding you."

Mason put down the storybook in his hand, which was almost full of exaggerated rumors, and he moved his neck and said:

"Mr. Hunter has said everything that needs to be said, and to accurately describe it, our mission is not to face an unknown sea god alone, but to take food in the hands of the cleaners.

Do you understand when I say that? ”

The captain stood up and explained the process of this mission in detail, and he emphasized:

"Mr. Hunter said that the Cleaners or anyone else should not be allowed to gain access to Colypso's divinity anyway, and she also said that she couldn't go into more detail about it, so I suspect it might have something to do with the curse of the Stellar Society.

The best-case scenario now is that while the cleaners are hunting the female Poseidon, we find an opportunity to sneak in and grab someone's head.

As for the restraint of divinity.

She said that with the knife she gave us, a knife into the heart of the female sea god will solve any problem, the principle, I don't know very well. But I guess that knife should help you get rid of the panic in your heart. ”

"It's not a good thing either!"

Za Kang's mood is a little better, but only a little bit.

As a spellcaster whose first purpose is self-preservation in any situation, this kind of thing is already a life concept that is deeply rooted in the bone marrow of Zakang.

He babbled and complained that Mason had dragged him to his death, and greeted Mason's family cordially in various sentences.

But now it's on the way.

Even if he didn't want to take the risk, he couldn't really jump into the sea and swim back to Turtle Island, right?

That's a shame too.

"I just don't know how much land our pirate coalition has recovered in the past half a month?"

Mason walked to the window and chatted with Captain Jack and said:

"How do you feel about watching your former friends become pirate kings one by one? If you hadn't come with me before, maybe you could have your own pirate kingdom, Jack.

Isn't there a little bit of regret and yearning? ”

"There's a fart."

Captain Jack leaned there in a dashing manner, and while drinking rum, he said drunkly:

"Did I tell you about when I was a kid?"

Mason shook his head, and heard Captain Jack say with a wave of nostalgia:

"I grew up in Madagascar as a child.

That's right, in the pirate utopia that my dad and his brothers founded, they occupied a natural harbor and a large area of land, and gathered pirates from all over the world to establish a pirate kingdom.

One of his brothers, a former princess-in-law of the Mughal Empire, had a real army to ensure long-term peace and stability, and the pirates ran it with an institution similar to the Pirate King's Council.

Chaos, noisy, evil yet vibrant.

That's all I knew about my hometown as a child, but when I grew up, I saw the truth about the filthy life on the inside.

My father and his brothers were always fighting for power, prestige, or whatever the hell it was, and that so-called pirate utopia was nothing more than a giant turtle island.

It's really boring. ”

Jack snorted, shook the precious compass in his hand, and said:

"So when I was twelve years old I left and joined the East India Company running back and forth in the Indian Ocean, preferring to stay on my own ship than to go home.

Mason, pirates can't govern the country like kings and nobles.

We lack patience and lofty vision and ideals, and the so-called pursuit of freedom and uncontrolled truth is just a group of Luthors who cannot survive in a normal society.

What can you expect from a group of losers who can't even be normal people to do great things?

I dare to predict that even if Barbossa did establish a kingdom on the continent, it would not last more than five years before it would fall apart, and it would be a foolish thing to die of addiction.

Why should I be envious?

Even now, when I return to this familiar sea, the panic from the bottom of my heart has not diminished, even after you have given this world a vaccine to the zombies. ”

He glanced at Mason, opened the compass in his hand between the two, and said to it:

"Show me my only chance to live, little darling."

His voice fell.

The red pointer on the delicate compass swished at Mason, not biased or oblique.

"This thing was given to me by Colypso."

Jack put away the compass and said to Mason:

"It's said to be tainted with the divinity of the sea god and is the treasure of the sea, but it's also telling me that if you want to live, you have to get out of here, Mason, and our greatest danger doesn't come from hunting Colypso.

impact

Didn't you say that the third shock is coming? ”

"Hmm."

Mason took out the hourglass that Mr. Hunter had given him from his bag, and less than a tenth of the gravel above it remained, still leaking over time.

In the past, one couldn't help but think about what would happen after the quicksand was completely drained.

"It's about five to six days."

Mason looked at the small hourglass in his hand and said:

"We'll have to get back to Gotham before that moment comes, and it's said that it's more likely to survive the shock by hiding in our own base world."

"Wow"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crashing sound of huge waves sounded outside the cabin.

The Black Pearl, which was rushing along the ocean current and the sea breeze, seemed to be shaken by an invisible hand, making everyone stand a little unsteady for a while.

Then a cold breath seeped into the captain's cabin with the sea breeze, and the hatch was quickly pushed open.

Mr. Gibbs, the first officer, who was carrying a double-barreled shotgun and toad glasses, wearing colorful beach pants and flip-flops but with a strange Isu helmet, rushed in and shouted:

"The Dutchman! Jack! That damn ghost ship is below us! It's going to turn us upside down! ”

"No, don't be nervous."

Mason and Captain Jack looked at each other and said:

"It's here to say hello, or maybe it's just to say hello to 'old friends'. Jack, do you want to come with me to meet Will?

I'm guessing your old friend also has something to say to you, like asking you to help take care of his wife and children.

The relationship between the three of you is so complicated, and the only person he can trust is you. ”

"Hey, he's not afraid that I'll put a hat on him?"

Captain Jack smiled very cheaply, drank the rum in his hand in one gulp, and grinned:

"I get along with Elizabeth day and night, she is still my assistant manager, she wears black silk heels to work every day or something, as long as I want, there is an opportunity to uncover her rules.

Single moms are the best. ”

"I'm going to ask someone to teach you how to use a computer and surf the Internet to familiarize you with the new world, not to see the nasty stuff, Jack, can you be normal?"

Mason rolled his eyes, glanced at Zakang, and said:

"Do you want to go together?"

"Excuse me, I'm not interested in stepping on an ominous ghost ship, and the fate of being contaminated with the death curse is definitely very troublesome."

The black mage decisively refused, took out a magic book and opened it in his hand, waved his hand and said:

"Get out of here, don't bother this mage to experience new powers and learn new magic."

Two barrels and Barbara are also uninterested in stepping onto a rusted ghost ship, so it is Jack and Mason who end up getting off the dinghy.

Behind them, a group of strangely dressed non-mainstream pirate crews watched worriedly, toward the swirling waters.

As they approached the whirlpool, the Holland, a ghost ship at the bottom of the sea, quickly ascended, lifting the eerie and hideous tattered hull into front of the two of them in the tumbling splash of the water.

And on the deck where there are still seaweed and various deep-sea creatures, in addition to Captain Will Turner, who has become an alien, there is also a guy who makes Jack's face change slightly.

He's daddy!

Guardian of the Pirate Codex, suspected to be an undead ghost who has become a supernatural conceptual entity, Edward Teague Sr.

After talking to Mason last time, he said that Will Turner is a force that can be fought for, and this old guy is quite efficient in his actions, and it has only been more than half a month to get on the line with the ghost ship.

And judging by the way he and Will whispered, it seemed that some kind of cooperation agreement had been reached between the two.

"Huh"

As the dinghy approached the ghost ship, a pair of eerie rope ladders woven of white bone were dropped from the side of the ship, still carrying the coldness of the deep sea, and Mason and Jack climbed one after the other up the barnacles and rust marks on the deck.

It's like stepping into a moving cemetery.

The surrounding crew members who were suffering from chaos and curse and were about to lose their minds smelled the "fragrance" of the living.

They whispered the mellow scent of flesh and blood, grabbed all kinds of weapons and gathered them, and were watched by those seeping eyes, as if they were standing in the midst of a group of resentful spirits.

Mason snorted and gripped the handle of the flintlock pistol at his waist.

Jack didn't care, this guy also stretched out his hands to hug Will Turner, who was already half fish and half human in front of him, this guy said maliciously:

"Elizabeth says hello to you, Will, your wife is awesome and wonderful in every situation. By the way, what do you think about the fact that your son may call me dad in the future? ”

"I don't have any idea, if little Henry really called you father, maybe you could take better care of him because of this?"

A muffled voice came from Will's mouth, which had become so alienated that he couldn't speak, and the ghost captain turned around and roared like a beast, telling his crew to sober up and go back to the cabin.

Then he limped up to Mason and stared at him condescendingly, his eyes cold and his tone penetrating.

He said:

"I warned you, leave and don't come back! Why? Mason, do you love cruising around a dying world? Are you planning to give us a funeral in person?

Or do you want to pick a good cemetery for yourself? ”

"It's just a group of invaders coming into your world to hunt your sea gods."

Mason didn't hide it and said truthfully:

"My superiors have asked me to stop this process and do everything I can to kill Kolypso before they do, if something goes wrong. So, this time it's business, I don't want to come but have to. ”

As he spoke, Mason looked at old Teague who was talking to his son, and gave the pirate codename "Old J" a wink, who nodded faintly.

Since he is already a member of the Quint Society, Mason's mission is naturally his task as well.

"Your superiors sent you to die."

Will Turner said in an unkind tone:

"There are only five days left, no, less than five days, the end is near, every drop of the sea is telling the sorrow before destruction, and the whole sea is changing.

You picked the worst time to come back, Mason Cooper, on the eve of destruction.

You look confident and just don't know if you will survive to go back but for the intruders you are talking about. Well, maybe in this matter, we can cooperate. ”

"Cooperation?"

Mason raised an eyebrow, showed an interested expression, and said:

"Elaborate."

"Follow me!"

Will Turner, who had been cursed as a creature of the depths for the most part, limped to his captain's quarters, and Mason followed him through graveyard-like ships that were uncomfortable.

On the deck behind them, Jack uncorked a bottle of wine, took a sip and handed it to his father, who laughed and toasted with his son.

After a moment, he asked:

"So, Jack, is life okay in the New World? Looking at your radiant appearance, you seem to have found a new friend. ”

"It's okay, so-so."

The drunken Captain Jack grinned and told Daddy everything that had happened in the past few moments, and Teague Sr. raised an eyebrow after hearing their story of the Cleaners of Another World War.

He said:

"Well, it seems that Team K is really suitable for you, who is afraid of chaos in the world. But Jack, your heart is still on this sea, I can feel it.

Even if you indulge in the pleasure of the other world, you still can't let go of this sea.

That's probably not a bad thing. ”

The old pirate, who had established the first pirate kingdom, went to the side of the ship, looked out at the endless sea behind him, drank a whole bottle of rum, and then turned back to his son and said:

"Funeral it with nostalgia, Jack.

Witness the last day of your hometown, and then start your journey again with the mentality of surviving. I believe that from now on you will be a person of faith.

Just like your captain.

Together with your new friends, you will plunge into a greater and more dangerous cause.

For the past, the present, and the future, Jack.

Raise a glass. ”
