Chapter 55
Due to the existence of the Destiny Parrot, Jack Sparrow no longer has any doubts about Shen Yi's acceptance of Tia Doma's commission.
In this case, everyone has a common goal.
This is also an important reason why he came to the rover.
For Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack, who is also one of the nine pirate kings, had no intention of attacking other pirate kings, after all, it was a violation of the piracy convention.
Although the pirates are arrogant and domineering, ignoring any laws, the pirate convention drawn up by the pirates is still binding on every pirate king.
Therefore, although Jack Sparrow has a good relationship with Tia Doma and has a material desire for Tia Doma, he is easily unwilling to take action against other pirate kings—the Caspian Sea Pirate King Barbosa may be the only one. exception.
But things are different now.
This is the middle of the third part of the Caribbean Sea. Elizabeth and Verduna have just rescued Jack Sparrow from Hell.
The purpose of their rescue is to use the power of the Black Pearl to fight against the Intrepid.
As for Jack Sparrow, unless he agrees to serve on the ghost ship for a hundred years, even if he escapes from the devil prison, once Davy Jones knows that Jack Sparrow is not dead, then he will definitely treat him Hunt down again. This made Jack Sparrow have a demand for unblocking the Sea Goddess. Because only she can deal with the ghost ship.
There are two small changes to the plot here. One is that Barbosa was not involved in the rescue of Captain Jack. Second, the map of the end of the world is not on the Black Pearl, but is still in the hands of Captain Sao Feng. Elizabeth has an amazing memory. She memorized the map of the end of the world and found the way to the devil's prison with her own memory, but this memory is not long.
And for Jack Sparrow, the map at the end of the world is exactly what he wants.
Therefore, Shen Yi and Jack Sparrow quickly had a common language at this moment.
Before the negotiation started, Shen Yi winked at Wen Rou, Wen Wen understood, and pretended to be casual and said to Elizabeth: "Are you interested in visiting the Roamer? This was once the ship of one of the people you hate the most. Maybe you Will be interested to hear how we got rid of the Baron."
Elizabeth's eyes shone with excitement: "Of course."
Gently greeted Elizabeth to visit the Wanderer, Verduna followed behind his fiancée, and Luo Hao extended the same invitation to the boatswain brought by Captain Jack.
The reason why Shen Yi instructed Ruanrou to leave Elizabeth and the others was actually to prepare for the negotiation of cooperation. In diplomatic negotiations, it has always been to strive for a favorable position for itself as much as possible.
In my territory, there are many people on my side, even when I speak, I have to be more confident. Although Jack Sparrow is a smart man, the robber has always been only good at wielding knives, but not good at playing tricks, so in this respect he has lost the upper hand invisibly.
Facing Jack Sparrow alone now, Shen Yi said in a leisurely manner: "Then I think we can continue to talk about the previous topic now. By the way, what did we talk about earlier?"
"Freedom, my freedom." Jack Sparrow replied seriously: "I don't deny that the ghost ship is a big threat to me, and I don't want to be imprisoned in that terrible place like the Devil's Prison."
"Ah!" Shen Yi pretended to suddenly realize.
He lowered his head and thought for a while before slowly saying: "I guess even in this situation, you still don't want to take action against other pirate kings."
The reason why Jack Sparrow has not been able to complete Tia Doma's commission is not because he is incompetent, but because he has identity scruples about attacking other pirate kings. If he really attacked other pirate kings, even if he unblocked the sea goddess and defeated the ghost ship, he would still be hunted down by other pirates.
Regarding this point, Shen Yi analyzed it very clearly, and Jack Sparrow said directly: "My father is the guardian of the Pirate Code, and he is the most loyal person to the Pirate Code.
Any pirate who desecrates and violates the Pirate Code will be attacked by him... After all, I am his son. "(1)
"Then I think a useful outsider might be very helpful to you." Shen Yi said with a smile: "An outsider who has the ability to destroy the Intrepid."
"An outsider who boarded the Dreadnought to destroy it while I was drawing all of its firepower," Jack Sparrow added bluntly.
"It's a good cooperation model, isn't it?" Shen Yi blinked: "You attract other people's attention, and I'm in charge of action. Maybe this model can continue to be used until we get what you and I want."
"You want to deal with all the pirate kings alone and snatch the tokens from them?" Jack Sparrow couldn't imagine how big Shen Yi's appetite was.
"I'll try to be as civil as possible."
"You're dreaming!" Jack Sparrow immediately retorted, "And it's unnecessary. Barbosa thinks he can persuade the Pirate Kings to hand over their tokens."
"That was before." Shen Yi said with a smile: "Barbosa thought he could use the threat of the British navy to force all the pirate kings to agree to take out tokens. But the problem now is that Beckett is dead, but the ghost ship still exists. .”
In the original plot, because of the possession of the coffin of dead souls, the British navy was able to coerce the flying Dutch to work for themselves, and used strong military pressure to force the city of the sunken ship. In order to protect himself, Barbosa proposed a plan to unseat Poseidon. Therefore, in the original plot, Beckett's coercion is the cause, and the release of the Sea Goddess is the result.
But in the newly written script of Bloody City, the unblocking of the Sea Goddess became the cause, and the threat of Beckett's soldiers pressing down on the border is just a cover and an excuse that can be used to seduce people.
As for now, Beckett is dead, and the Intrepid is destroyed. Although the threat of the British Royal Navy is still there, it is not as great as before. Even under the threat of the Ghost Ship and the Intrepid, the Pirate Guild may not agree to unblock the Sea Goddess, let alone the current situation? Therefore, Barbosa's plan is doomed to bankruptcy. To obtain the nine tokens, fighting has become the mainstream choice.
As for Elizabeth becoming the pirate emperor... With the changes in the plot, this has long since become a thing of the past, so I don't even need to think about it.
At the moment when Shen Yi said this, Jack Sparrow also realized the problem.
Although the British navy is a threat to all pirates, the ghost ship is only a threat to him, Jack Sparrow. Due to the existence of the Pirate Code, the Pirate Kings may not easily attack each other, but they definitely gloat over the death of other Pirate Kings. In this matter, it was impossible for him to ask anyone for help, so Shen Yi's proposal became important.
After thinking for a while, Jack Sparrow finally said: "I want the map of the end of the world, and we will share half of all other tokens."
This sentence at least shows that the two people have reached an agreement on the issue of jointly seizing the token.
"I don't have a small appetite, I'm the one who works hard and works hard." Shen Yi was not satisfied.
"Then you'd better understand that there are thousands of pirates in the Shipwreck City. If you don't want to kill them all the way, the only way to get close to them is through me." Jack Sparrow pointed to himself seriously.
"You are a good guide." Shen Yi smiled, and he turned to look at King Kong: "King Kong, in a war, if we need a leader to lead us, how much benefit will we usually give him?"
"One-thousandth of the harvest is not bad." King Kong said with a grin.
Hong Lang waved his hands and replied, "Is the leading party eligible for sharing? Give him a few gold coins and it will be paid off."
Jack Sparrow's face became a little ugly.
After all, he was also a majestic pirate king, and he was said to be an internal agent who existed like a traitor's dog's leg, but judging from the nature of the attack he just explained, it really only played this part of the role.
With such a role, it is naturally a bit fanciful to want to take the lead in the negotiation with the other party.
After all, he is not a person who is good at negotiating. At this moment, he has nothing to say when he is squeezed out. He always feels that something is wrong, but he can't explain it. He can only glare at Shen Yi: "Cooperation requires sincerity!"
"From your asking price, I can't see any sincerity."
"Then how do you divide?" This sentence completely exposed the essence of Jack Sparrow's inability to control the negotiation situation.
"According to the number of people who contribute. You are responsible for taking us in, and I will count your contribution. We are responsible for fighting and getting the token of the Pirate King."
"There are five of you."
"That's right."
"That is to say, I can only get one-sixth?" Jack Sparrow looked at Shen Yi in surprise, the other party's appetite is too big, right?
"It's already pretty good." Shen Yi replied with incomparable sincerity: "You don't need to contribute, as long as you bring us in."
King Kong also patted Jack Sparrow on the shoulder and said, "Actually, why do you care so much about Tia Doma's belongings, what is more important than freedom?"
Hong Lang also came up to persuade Captain Jack: "Think about the risks we have to take. If we fail, there will only be a dead end, but you will never have to worry about this problem. Captain Jack, this is a fair deal."
The three of them bombarded Jack Sparrow one after another.
This kind of brainwashing made Jack Sparrow dizzy, although he felt that it was very inappropriate, but Shen Yi's statement was indeed reasonable in terms of reason.
Unable to find any refutable reasons, Jack could only shout:
"Okay, let's put this matter on hold for now, and I still have to think about it."
For him, this is already a great concession.
"No problem." Shen Yi was very easy to speak: "Then now, there is one problem left."
"What?" Jack asked.
"I need to know their strength. Captain Jack, if you fight any of them, who is stronger?"
"It's almost the same, but I'm better."
"Then..." Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally said: "Hong Lang, go and fight our Captain Jack."
Hong Lang clenched his fist until it clicked, he laughed and said, "I'm happy to obey."
He raised his hand and punched Jack Sparrow in the face...
Hong Lang and Jack Sparrow were fighting, while Shen Yi and King Kong were casually chatting while watching the two fight.
King Kong said with a smile: "The two sides cooperate, one side can only get one-sixth of the harvest, and the other side gets five-sixths. How did you come up with the method of calculating the distribution by head? This idea is simply too bad."
While watching the two fight in the distance, Shen Yi replied in a low voice: "If you watch the news more, you will learn a lot of political skills. On Earth, when China becomes the world's second largest country in terms of GDP, our leaders will What people love to say is that we are still a developing country, and our per capita level is still very low... At the Copenhagen Climate Control Conference, when 26 developed countries set emission reduction targets for all countries, China proposed They set their own emissions standards: population-based standards. You know what that means? If that standard passes, then China's carbon dioxide emission standards will be five times that of the United States, because we have five times their population. "
"...I like this standard of calculation."
"I like it too." Shen Yi patted King Kong and said with a smile.
"He hasn't agreed yet."
"So what does it matter? Of course I wouldn't expect him to only charge one-sixth of the harvest, but as long as he accepts our standards, then no matter how hard he struggles, he won't be able to reap the big bucks... So never let others Negotiate on the track designed for you, otherwise no matter how hard you struggle, you will not be able to jump out of the trap designed for you by others.”
"It's like in the bloody city, no matter how powerful we are, we can't get rid of its control?"
"……yes."
The two were silent for a while.
The battle is still going on, Hong Lang and Jack Sparrow are fighting fiercely, and it seems that there is no winner in a short time.
Shen Yi's gaze became deep and distant, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, he said: "After the battle, let Hong Lang and Jack get closer, and get as much information as possible from him about other Pirate Kings, their strength and strength...you also participate."
"Aren't you going to ask him directly?"
"Don't give your opponent bargaining chips."
"Understood."
————————
PS: In the third part of Pirates of the Caribbean, the pirate guarding the code in the Pirate Guild is the former Pirate King Teague, the father of Jack Sparrow, and he inherited his father’s status as the Pirate King. So I can't figure out why this poor new pirate king doesn't even have a ship, and he has to rely on the power of the ghost ship to become the captain of the Black Pearl, so that he is hunted down by Davy Jones all over the world.
