The entire crew of the Thunder had been paying anxious attention to the movement on the other side.

In the fog, they heard what looked like an exploding pot on the Black Pearl, with waves coming out from time to time, but they couldn't hear exactly what was going on.

Unconsciously, as the fog dissipated, the silhouette of the Black Pearl could already be faintly seen, and the people on board became more and more nervous.

The lookout on duty kept holding on to the binoculars tightly, and suddenly shouted, "The other party is waving a flag on the bow of the ship and wants to negotiate with us!"

The first mate pondered, "What does it mean to ask for negotiation?"

York immediately said, "It must be that the Black Pearl has been occupied by God's messengers, so they will negotiate with us." ”

The first mate retorted, "If the Black Pearl is taken by the messenger of God, then it is not an enemy, why should it negotiate if it is not an enemy?"

"And what do you say is going on?"

"This demand for negotiation is very suspicious. "Perhaps the pirates are clever enough to pretend that they have been accused and ask for negotiations with us, in order to take the people we sent hostage." ”

The captain nodded, "It's really risky to go over to negotiate. ”

York insisted on his opinion, "If the Black Pearl is still the original pirate ship, it will not be able to directly engage in artillery battles, and there is no need to use these tricks at all." ”

The first mate said, "If you think it's okay, then you can go and negotiate." ”

York patted his chest, "I'll go!"

A lifeboat sent him over from the sea. York climbed onto the deck of the Black Pearl and caught the first glimpse of the former captain hanging upside down on the mast of the ship. I couldn't help but let out a "wow" and let out a long scream.

He then saw Ji Aojian under the mast, and hurriedly ran over to ask. "Messenger of God, have you taken the Black Pearl?"

Ji Aojian nodded, "Take it." ”

York was overjoyed, "That's great." Sir, hand this ship over to the authorities, and let these pirates who have done all the bad things be judged by the law, and spend the rest of their lives in their cells to repent of their sins. ”

A shipload of pirates stared at him with unkind eyes when they boarded. I want to throw him off the boat at once.

Ji Aojian smiled, "Will it be handed over to the British authorities, or the American authorities?"

"When I get back to the Americas. Leave it to the Government of the United States, of course. York excitedly said, "The United States can represent a civilized nation and let these scoundrels receive a fair trial." They can get a lawyer, and there will be a jury to decide their guilt. ”

"Handed over to the US authorities. All the contents of this ship are also owned by the government of the United States, right?"

"Of course. But you'll also be rewarded by the United States, and you'll have a share of the ship's treasure. ”

"Isn't this the wool coming out of the sheep?"

The boatswain was listening and couldn't help but sneer, "Now that the Black Pearl doesn't even have a single gold coin on it, what's the use of handing it in, and the United States will pay for it out of its own pocket?"

York was dumbfounded, "How could such a famous pirate ship be so poor?"

"Our captain...... Belch. I mean, the old guy hanging on the mast had just exchanged all his treasures for a treasure map. ”

Ji Aojian was stunned: Treasure map? Such an ethereal thing. That one-eyed captain is willing to exchange all his savings for it?

York was obviously not interested in the mystical concepts such as treasure maps, so he didn't ask any questions, but continued to persuade Ji Aojian, "Sir, if you hand over an empty ship of the Black Pearl, the United States will also reward you heavily." ”

In this era, the Americans' navy was still in its extended period, and their belongings were not rich. With the firepower configuration of the Black Pearl, it can be regarded as a top-level warship when it enters the United States Navy.

Ji Aojian smiled, "I have already decided to be the captain of this ship, and I don't plan to give it to the United States." ”

York took a long breath and looked completely incredulous.

"Sir, you must not do this! How can such a great and noble man as you become a pirate!"

Looking at his excited expression, in his words, there was a sense of regret that "she is a beautiful woman, but she can't be a thief".

Ji Aojian was not excited at all, "Actually, I am from a pirate family, and my sixth sister is the biggest pirate leader in Asia. ”

York's head thumped and became chaotic, as if some beautiful image had suddenly collapsed: "The Messenger of God" turned out to be from a pirate gang? How is this possible, how is it possible?

But he did not give up, and still insisted on persuasion, "There is no future for being a pirate, and in the end, you have to submit to the authorities is the way out." ”

"Like Hawkins, like Drake?"

"You can understand, sir, that's great!"

"Then I'll be like those two and go to the British authorities. ”

"No, no, no, you must not go to the British. York shook his hand desperately, "The British are strong enough, and you won't be taken seriously if you join them." Only here in the United States can you sell for a good price. ”

Ji Aojian was noncommittal, "I'll think about this later." ”

"Sir, you should think about it sooner. York lowered his voice, "The sailors on your ship are all in a group, and it is too dangerous for you to be alone among them." They may take advantage of your deep sleep and cut your throat with a knife to reclaim the boat. ”

"What you said makes sense, didn't I call you to negotiate?"

York remembered his mission, "Yes, yes, I'm here to negotiate." So, what are we talking about?"

Ji Aojian handed over a package, "You just take this back to your ship." ”

York opened it and exclaimed, "Compass, sextant, clock...... What are you going to do here?"

"All the nautical equipment on board the Black Pearl is here, and you can go home on your own with these things. Ji Aojian said lightly, "Then, only I can find my way in the Pacific Ocean on this ship, do they dare to rebel against me?"

"Sir, you are so cunning!"

"You can go. ”

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" York hurriedly pulled a notebook from his body. Brushed a line and tore off the page, "Sir." This is my address in Virginia, and you must come to me when you come to the United States, and we can discuss that plan to travel around the world. ”

Ji Aojian took the note, "I remember." ”

York picked up the package and left the Black Pearl contentedly.

Ji Aojian casually tore up the note.

The boatswain plucked up his courage and asked tremblingly, "Chief." Can you really find your way at sea?"

The entire ship's nautical positioning equipment had been taken away, and it was impossible for the pirates not to feel fear in their hearts, but just now they did not dare to question the decision of the new captain.

Ji Aojian took out the black ball of crystal light. "With such a magical artifact on the ship, what are you worried about?"

"If this thing could really point the way," said the boatswain, "wouldn't we have done without a compass a long time ago?"

Hey. These pirates still have a little bit of logical thinking.

Ji Aojian's face sank. "I'm not going to joke with my life, and I'm not allowed to ask this kind of question again. ”

This time the explanation was very convincing, and the boatswain quickly bowed his head and said yes.

Ji Aojian breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter with that treasure map?"

"I don't know," said the boatswain, "the old fellow seems to have dealt with some eccentric wizards, and got this picture from them." ”

"Where's the picture?"

"In the old guy's room, I'll find it out and show you. ”

It didn't take long. A worn-out parchment map was placed in front of Ji Aojian's eyes.

Ji Aojian looked at it carefully for a long time, and then shone into the sun.

The pirates on the deck gradually gathered. Someone cautiously asked, "Boss, is this treasure map real?"

The treasure of the whole ship has been changed to such a picture, and if this is a fake, everyone will lose a lot.

"I don't know, I have to recognize which part of the earth it is in. Ji Aojian flipped through the parchment and looked at it, "This map seems to be really written by a wizard, and it doesn't even mark the latitude and longitude." ”

The boatswain looked dejected, "That is, only the old fellow knows where this place is." ”

The pirates looked out for the one-eyed Blackbeard who still hung on the mainmast, and now that he was dead, the secret of the treasure map was brought into the coffin.

No, a guy like this who keeps secrets alone shouldn't give him a coffin!

At this moment, I only heard Ji Aojian ask, "What is the original destination of your voyage this time?"

Everyone was stunned.

Ji Aojian continued, "Since that one-eyed has exchanged all his belongings for a treasure map, and he is so poor that he has nothing, then as soon as he gets the treasure map, he must rush over directly to find the treasure." ”

As soon as this prompt came out, everyone showed a look of awakening from a dream, and shouted in ecstasy, "We're going to the South Pacific!"

Ji Aojian shouted, "Be specific!"

The pirates looked annoyed again, "I don't know, the old guy only let us sail in the southeast direction first." ”

Ji Aojian commanded, "You go to the old guy's place and turn over all the maps, notes, and other things." ”

This old guy should always leave himself some clues to remember.

A large map of the world was taken out again and spread out on the deck.

The good news is that there are markings on the map.

The bad news is that more than one place has been flagged.

However, narrowing down to the South Pacific waters, only one site has been marked.

Ji Aojian pointed to the only sign in this sea area, "It's here, it's Easter Island!"

"Easter Island, isn't that the island with many huge stone statues?"

"I heard that the origin of those stone statues is very mysterious, and it should not be made by the natives of the island. ”

"Yes, many theologians and naturalists have done research, and it may have been a glorious ancient civilization in the past. ”

"In other words, the treasure we are looking for is the heritage of an ancient civilization?"

The pirates soon whistled excitedly at the possibility of a treasure on Easter Island, as they quickly whistled in a lively discussion and self-replenishment.

Ji Aojian waved his hand, "Set sail and go to Easter Island." ”

It's a good idea to drop by, so let's take a look. (To be continued......)
