"You want to exchange the lives of thousands of people for your lives, can your conscience accept it?"

The corners of Sparrow's mouth moved, his slanted eyes avoided Townsend's gaze, and said, "I'm completely fine!" ”

Tang Sen just smiled and said, "I'll use your proposal as a backup plan... No, a standby plan. ”

"Captain Sparrow, let me answer your previous question about your usefulness." He changed the subject and said slowly, "That's why I've been keeping you in the fleet. ”

"Your value lies in the fact that there is a bond between you and David Jones."

"I'm not, I'm not!" Sparrow hurriedly said, "I don't even know him!" ”

"You have a debt, Captain Sparrow." Townsend said: "This pirate ship under our feet was once a trading ship of the East India Company, but it was burned and sunk to the bottom of the sea, and you made a deal with David Jones to get the ship salvaged. ”

"You hooked up your ship with black sails, named it the Black Pearl, and began your career as a pirate."

"David Jones promised you to be a captain for thirteen years, and then you need to serve on the flying Dutchman for a hundred years, and now, thirteen years is almost up, right?"

"It's almost there, but it's not quite there yet." Sparrow said, "So, I don't need to pay my debt right now, and David Jones' eyes won't be on me." ”

Townsend chuckled lightly and said, "Captain Sparrow, if you have been living well, of course David Jones will not care about you now. ”

"But if he senses that his debtor is about to die, I'm afraid he'll be happy to collect his debt in advance, and the Flying Dutchman will always need a crew, won't he?"

"Actually, Captain Sparrow." Townsend said, "I think you have a greater temptation to Davy Jones than a thousand lives. ”

"What if David Jones didn't know it? What if his powers of foreknowledge were only directed at those destined to die at sea? Sparrow struggled.

Townsend didn't answer him, just turned to Tom and said, "Go and dig a hole in the cabin of the Black Pearl, I need it to sink, but not soon." ”

Tom nodded and said, "It's very simple, in fact, the sinking of many ships is not a moment, if the position of the hull leak is cleverly opened, a ship can support for a long time, for example... Three days. ”

"Three days? We've been chasing the flying Dutchman for so long, I think three days is enough time for him to arrive. ”

Townsend then turned around and answered Jack Sparrow's question.

"If he doesn't come, then you're destined to die at sea." He muttered, "It's an interesting paradox, isn't it? ”

"You're gambling!" Sparrow completely lost his composure, he knew that the Oriental man in front of him had done such a thing, and he had already seen the other party's methods during this voyage.

In the course of his life, Sparrow has encountered countless desperate situations of life and death, and each time he has been able to escape death through his wit or luck, but in front of the Orientals, his cleverness has no effect, and the other party has brutally suppressed him with the most unpretentious force, and has never given him any chance, and he sadly realizes that if nothing else, he will have an accident.

"I admit I have an element of gambling."

Townsend turned away from the Black Pearl.

"If I lose the bet, all I can say is... Captain Sparrow's life has been a magnificent one. ”

"I'm sorry."

......

The fleet scattered and formed a circle, far away from the Black Pearl.

Everyone was talking about what this Captain Jack Sparrow had done to offend Mr. Don so much that Mr. Don was going to punish him with such cruelty.

They shudder at the thought of what it would be like to be tied up on a sinking ship and have to wait for death.

Especially those pirates, they have a new understanding of Mr. Tang's methods, obviously, they are more honest than before, they have not even had daily fights and quarrels in the past two days, the decks of several pirate ships have been wiped clean, which can almost reflect their ugly and nervous faces.

Townsend didn't pay any attention to the Black Pearl, Tom would arrange for the soldiers to watch him twenty-four hours a day to prevent the other party from breaking free by some means he didn't know, and other than that, Townsend didn't intend to interfere in any way with Jack Sparrow's end.

As he said, if David Jones didn't show up, then his debtor was destined to die here.

As for Sparrow's fate in the original book, he was supposed to live longer?

Unfortunately, now that he has come to this world, Townsend likes to take the power to control his fate into his own hands, whether it is his own fate or that of Jack Sparrow.

Or maybe the fate of David Jones.

The time quickly came to the third day.

The Black Pearl was the first to sink in the stern, as if a giant hand had grabbed her at the bottom of the sea, causing the entire bow to lift out of the water, revealing barnacles and moss underneath.

Jack Sparrow was already very weak, and although he was lucky enough to have a rain that had given him some water, he had not eaten for three days, making him look like a sea fish that was about to suffocate.

"Next, the ship will sink very quickly." Tom stood next to Townsend with a telescope and said, "In a few minutes, half of the Black Pearl will sink, and in ten minutes, this legendary pirate ship will completely disappear from the sea." ”

"Actually, it didn't take ten minutes for Jack Sparrow to be drowned."

Townsend didn't say a word, just quietly observed the sea level near the Black Pearl.

He's killing a legendary pirate, not only in this world, but also in the real world, and Jack Sparrow is also famous and has countless fans, but Townsend doesn't regret it.

Jack Sparrow wasn't a good guy, and he was obviously not either.

"It looks like David Jones didn't come." Seeing that most of the Black Pearl's hull had sunk into the water, and Jack Sparrow was submerged in the sea, Tom sighed: "It doesn't matter if a pirate dies, it's just a pity that a good ship is a good ship." ”

"It's the fastest boat in the Caribbean."

"Really?"

Tang Sen's back suddenly straightened: "Tom, have you noticed that the sinking of the Black Pearl has stopped?" ”

"Huh?" Tom rubbed his eyes and looked back at the Black Pearl.

More than stopping, the black pirate ship was slowly rising, and Jack Sparrow resurfaced, coughing violently twice.

"Damn—" Tom's pupils narrowed, and he reflexively looked at Townsen.

"Looks like I won the bet."

Tang Sen took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly rose high:

"Our guests are here!"

"Prepare for battle!"
