The next route was even more bizarre.

No one knows where David Jones is at the moment, the Flying Dutchman is not an immovable island, she may be diving under the sea, maybe harvesting life somewhere, maybe sleeping at the boundary between reality and the underworld.

The only direction of the fleet was the compass in William's hand, or more precisely, William's heart that wanted to find his father.

What is certain is that as long as there is a direction, David Jones will be found.

The only thing Townsend couldn't control was finding his time.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe until that prophecy was about to come, I didn't find any trace of David Jones.

At worst, he will have to travel to the Land of Prophecy and face off against the Flying Dutchman, the Norwegian Sea Monster, and a witch who asks for his guilt.

Of course, Townsend would not tolerate the worst-case scenario, and if his luck was really that bad and he hadn't found the Flying Dutchman for a month and a half, he had a backup plan in place.

"Maybe I should banish the blacks in the fleet, so that my luck might be a little more euro?"

Looking at the sea level, which was still unchanged, Townsend couldn't help but have this outrageous thought.

But then he shook his head: "Forget it, metaphysics is not advisable. ”

"Boat! Corsair! ”

There was a shout from the belvedere.

It was a novelty, since it had sailed, no pirate ship had dared to approach the fleet, and since the sailors at the lookout had given a warning, it was clear that the pirate ship had turned around without seeing the fleet.

Townsend was the first to come to the bow of the ship, the pirate ship was very fast, and the sailors at the lookout had just appeared on the surface of the sea when they issued a warning, and by this time, Townsend could already see the black sail and the burning skull carved on the sail.

"All ready!" Tom was standing at the bow of the ship and shouting, "Clean the chamber, open the hatch, and sink him as soon as the opponent is in range!" ”

"Tom, bring me the binoculars." Townsend commanded.

"Okay, Mr. Tang." Tom trotted over the binoculars and said, "It's just a pirate ship, I'm afraid it can't withstand a salvo of the Dreadnought, I'm afraid the sailors on that ship are asleep, otherwise how dare you approach us?" ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons." Tang Sen said cautiously: "On this sea, there are too many unknown things, not to be careless. ”

The telescope was monocular, and the magnification that could actually be magnified was not high, but it was enough for Townsend to see the situation on the ship clearly.

Contrary to Tom's suspicion, the deck of the pirate ship was in full swing, and Townsend could see many sailors busily adjusting the sails, and several tall, pale men with whips in their hands, standing aside and reprimanding.

"Strange."

Townsend frowned slightly, and the telescope moved horizontally to the bow of the pirate ship, the bow of the ship was like a horned skeleton holding a wine glass in one hand and long hair in the other, and you could see that the bow and stern of the ship were decorated with countless small skeletons, and the outer wall of the cabin was inlaid with countless skulls.

"Spooky decoration."

The other side seemed to be deliberately heading towards the fleet, and was not at all afraid of the Dreadnought, which was much larger and more powerful than itself, and the huge fleet behind the Dreadnought.

Townsend didn't think that all the pirates on the whole ship were crazy, there was only one possibility, and the other party had something to rely on.

Then he saw the Black Pearl suddenly turn its sails and approach the Dreadnought, and then Jack Sparrow swung the rope precisely to the bow of the Dreadnought, and before he could stand still, he called out eagerly, "Don, I'm afraid we're in trouble." ”

"What do you mean?" Townsend looked at the rare nervous look on Jack Sparrow's face, "You know this ship?" ”

"Queen Anne's Revenge! Damn, I'm not going to admit it! He spoke quickly: "It's Blackbeard's ship, believe me, you won't want to face him, he's the most notorious demon on the sea, and even the pirate guild won't accept him." ”

"No amount of ships means anything to him, Don, and it's hard to say which one is more terrifying, him or David Jones."

"Blackbeard—" Townsend instantly realized why the pirate ship dared to face his own fleet.

Blackbeard himself has some dark magic, including making soulless crew members out of corpses, voodoo, using curses to create witch dolls that can hurt him, and even stuffing ships into a small glass bottle, but these are not the ones he relies on to ride the seas, he relies on the sword at his waist.

Triton's sword.

The sword could bring a ship within a certain range to life, controlling all the cables, masts, sails, and rudders with its own mind, so that Blackbeard's enemies would always find that the ship they loved had taken the shape of someone else, and they watched as the cables that were usually obedient and soaked with their own sweat betrayed themselves in front of them, and tied themselves tightly, and at that time, they felt the despair of the green and gloomy.

In the original book, when Barbossa drove the Black Pearl to face the Queen Anne's Revenge, he was probably in such a mood, so that when he was hoisted by the cable and couldn't break free, he chose not to cut the cable, but to cut off his own legs.

"Tom!" Townsend suddenly shouted: "Give up the strategy of long-range cannon fire, notify the Interceptor and other pirate ships, accelerate the collision, and prepare for the broadside battle!" ”

"Don, we don't need to fight Blackbeard—" Sparrow shouted.

Tang Sen looked at him coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that we're going to fight Blackbeard, it's that he sees us as a target." ”

"I must warn you, Captain Sparrow, that Blackbeard is no more terrible than David Jones."

"He may have a feared artifact, but he's only mortal, and the Queen Anne's Vengeance is just a pirate ship with some firepower."

"And the Flying Dutchman, it's a ghost ship that can cross the line between life and death."

"I think the Legion of the Undead needs a warm-up before facing David Jones, and the soldiers need a win to boost their confidence against the flying Dutchman."

Tom always faithfully carried out Townwend's orders, even though he sometimes did not understand.

The sailors on the lookout relayed Townes' orders through the flags, and the ships carrying the legions of the undead quickly approached and headed for Queen Anne's Revenge with the Dreadnought as an arrow.

Seeing that the two sides were approaching the bombardment distance, the sails of the Dreadnought suddenly and inexplicably deflected, which caused the Dreadnought to deviate from its course and inevitably crashed towards the Black Pearl next to it.

At the same time, the ship's dense ropes rolled swiftly and precisely towards the sailors like snake heads.

The same thing happened with the other ships, and the entire attacking fleet was suddenly in disarray.
