Chapter 849 Captain Jack, You'd Better Be Honest, Otherwise
Chapter 849 Captain Jack, you'd better be honest, otherwise~~~
The Black Pearl was originally named the Bad Girl. It was a commercial armed ship used by the East Indian Ocean Company to escort goods. It was equipped with good firepower.
At that time, Jack didn't want to hang out with his father Tiggs Parrow and wanted to be a captain himself.
So he applied for a job at the East Indian Ocean Company.
He became the first hired captain of the Bad Girl.
On the way to transport goods, Jack found that the goods transported on the Bad Girl were not goods at all, but black slaves.
At that time, Jack, who was a rookie, kind, pure and full of justice, softened his heart and let these slaves go, which angered the top management of the East Indian Ocean Company.
So the East Indian Ocean Company branded the word "p" (Pirate) on the back of Jack's hand, which symbolized pirates, and put him in prison, and the Bad Girl was burned and destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Later, Jack escaped from prison and dived into the seabed. He wanted to save the Bad Girl, so he found the captain of the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones, and signed a contract with Davy Jones, promising that if he helped him find the sunken trading ship, Jack would give up his soul after serving as the captain of the trading ship for 13 years and serve on the Flying Dutchman for 100 years.
At that time, Davy Jones saw that Jack had the potential to be a pirate, so he gladly helped Jack to salvage the burned Bad Girl, which was almost no longer a ship.
Jack remodeled the Bad Girl and equipped it with more powerful firepower: 32 16-pound cannons, including 14 on the top deck and 18 in the cabin.
Because the Bad Girl had been burned, the hull was black.
So Captain Jack renamed the Bad Girl "Black Pearl".
After regaining the "Black Pearl", Jack recruited a group of crew members and officially began his pirate career.
Unfortunately, Jack was too soft-hearted. He drove the Black Pearl, which was fast enough to roam the Caribbean Sea, but he didn't rob anything. Even after finding Cortes' treasure, he asked the crew to leave without taking anything. This immediately made the crew, who couldn't walk when they saw the gold, rebel under the instigation of Barbossa. They dismissed Jack from his position as captain and abandoned him on a deserted island.
Barbossa and his crew then squandered the wealth on food, drink and indulgence.
But they didn't know that the gold was actually cursed. Jack was determined not to touch the gold coins because he found this.
After being cursed, the crew became immortal and couldn't feel anything. The moonlight would reveal their true appearance: torn clothes, almost disintegrated skeletons, and remaining muscles. Even the Black Pearl was affected: although the Black Pearl itself was not cursed, it was always surrounded by a mysterious mist due to the influence of the crew.
There are several magical ships like the Black Pearl in the Seven Seas.
The most powerful one is the Flying Dutchman, which was blessed by the goddess of the sea.
This is a fast and diving magic ship. It has been cruising on the sea for hundreds of years and is responsible for escorting the dead who died at sea to the underworld.
The second is the legendary Spanish navy Salazar and his Silent Mary, but he was mocked by the fledgling Jack Sparrow and rushed into the Devil's Delta, ran aground and exploded, and then was cursed and imprisoned in the Devil's Delta and could not leave.
This battle made Jack Sparrow's status. The young Jack Sparrow was supported by the pirates and became one of the nine pirate kings.
Finally, there is Blackbeard and his Queen Anne's Revenge. This ship is a magic ship transformed by Edward Blackbeard using a lot of black magic. His crew members were transformed by him into voodoo ghosts and zombies with black magic. The Greek fire on the bow can burn the enemy ship to ashes, and the combat effectiveness is strong.
Perhaps there are other powerful or magical ships on the seven seas, but they are not shown because of the length of the plot.
When he thought of the sea full of these unscientific magical ships, Hao Shuai silently mourned for the merchant ships.
No wonder sailors were in a high-risk industry in the Age of Discovery!
...
After his mind wandered, Hao Shuai finally rejected Jack's request to usurp the throne and become the first mate.
The reason was simple, that is, he simply did not trust Jack! Even if Hao Shuai had already given him a life and death spell.
You know, this is a world where pirates roam the sea, a magical world full of insidiousness, cunning, and intrigue.
Maybe Jack was innocent before, but what he got in return was Barbossa's betrayal and the capture of the Black Pearl.
From that moment on, the innocent Jack died completely, and the one who survived was a Jack Sparrow full of lies.
When Jack heard Hao Shuai's reason, he looked incredulous and said in a sad tone: "I am so sad. In your mind, is the great Captain Jack Sparrow such a bad guy who does not follow the rules and does not keep his word?"
Hao Shuai ignored Jack's antics and said bluntly: "Jack, you are not trustworthy. So, before you find the Fountain of Youth, don't even think about controlling the Black Pearl. Before that, you'd better be honest and just show me the way."
Jack, who was ruthlessly despised, was not annoyed. He turned around and went to find his old enemy Barbossa.
Looking at Jack's back, Hao Shuai silently said in his heart: Jack, you'd better lead the way honestly, otherwise don't blame me for using the soul-searching method~~
…
As the saying goes, if you don't go out when the morning glow appears, you can travel thousands of miles when the evening glow appears.
The colorful morning glow in the morning has long foreshadowed that there will be a storm at night.
Just as the night began, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the sea breeze was howling.
This is a sign of the coming storm.
"Lower the sails, slow down, the storm is coming~~"
"Hurry up and move the shells back to the cabin~~"
"Where is the lookout? Go to the observation deck immediately and observe the surrounding environment closely~~"
As a novice in navigation, Hao Shuai can see that the storm is coming, let alone Jack and Barbosa, who are now directing the people on the ship to prepare for the storm.
"Lookout~Lookout~" Barbosa grabbed the lookout and cursed, "Damn it, didn't I tell you to go up to the lookout to observe the situation? Why are you still here?"
"Captain~I want to go up too!" The lookout pointed upwards and said helplessly, "But there are already people up there."
Barboza looked in the direction the lookout pointed, and saw Hao Shuai, who was wearing a black cloak, a D'Artagnan-style hat, deerskin boots, and a long sword on his waist, holding Selina with one hand and holding the lookout with the other hand, posing.
Barboza: "..."
Looking at Hao Shuai dressed in a pirate costume, Barbosa could only helplessly send the lookout away, pretending that he didn't see it.
After all, who made him have a boss who gets crazy at every turn...
