Chapter 752: Even if I Die, I Can Still Be a Pirate
Originally, the various corals, reefs, seaweed and other marine materials covering the hull of the Flying Mary began to peel off by themselves, and the crew members whose bodies had undergone various changes and turned into various marine creatures also returned to their proper human appearance.
Even the pure ghost units such as Salazar, who had become physically weak, all gained physical bodies at this moment.
After several decades, they once again felt the light, heat, sea breeze and the smell of humidity. Although they still could not avenge their vengeance, they could not help but burst into tears.
With the replacement of the new captain, the curse originally brought by David Jones also disappeared, and the marine biological characteristics of the hull and the seafood crew also disappeared, while Salazar's ghost curse was covered by the contract of the new captain.
The curse was lifted, but this also meant that Whitebeard, who became the new Netherworld Ferryman, also needed to undertake the tasks that David Jones should have undertaken.
Although Whitebeard still looks like a human being, and even looks much younger than before, as long as he chooses to refuse his mission to extradite the dead at sea, he will soon become a seafood collection like Davy Jones.
With Whitebeard's ability and talent, even if he really mutates, his appearance will probably be closer to the direction of the ultimate Digimon and other ocean overlords.
And now, he is obviously exercising the captain's power to force Jack and Salazar and other crew members to write off the hatred.
Davy Jones's promise has nothing to do with Edward Newgate!
Faced with such a strong and unrivaled new captain, even if Salazar and others have resentment, they have to bite their teeth and swallow their resentment.
Davy Jones's promise and the contract are invalid together, but if Salazar and others want to continue to have a physical body, then they have to serve as crew members for Whitebeard honestly.
Whitebeard will take the initiative to help Jack, which seems unexpected but is reasonable.
Although Jack was a smooth talker and owed money to everyone he could after only being on the ship for a short time, Whitebeard actually didn't hate him, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed this guy who was full of nonsense to stay on his ship.
After dealing with Jack and the others' grievances, Whitebeard began to explain his "afterlife" to his stupid sons.
Well, strictly speaking, although Whitebeard no longer has to worry about his life span, he has become a being between life and death. From now on, his flagship has changed from Moby Dick to Flying Mary, and naturally, Moby Dick needs a new captain.
Almost unanimously approved, Marco, the first mate and ship doctor, directly inherited the position of captain of Moby Dick, but Moby Dick will still fly the flag of the "Whitebeard Pirates" and always act in the name of Whitebeard.
Whitebeard, who has the ability to shuttle through the underworld, can appear on any sea surface in the sea monster world at any time and anywhere.
And as long as it is not traveling to the Nether Sea, the ghost ship itself does not refuse to carry living people. You can see that in the original work, Lord Beckett's navy soldiers were stationed on the Flying Dutchman for a long time, and they were not corrupted by the curse.
With this ability, Whitebeard can still travel with his stupid sons as he pleases.
"From now on, these living idiots will be temporarily your concern.
As for the dead idiots..."
Whitebeard looked at the stupid sons on the Flying Mary, who were blushing.
These are the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates who died in the previous boarding battle. Now they have signed a crew contract with their new father and continue to follow their beloved father in the form of ghost crew members.
It's not that no one has ever died in the Whitebeard Pirates. In the normal battles with the navy and pirates, death is a normal thing. As a profession that licks blood on the edge of a knife, everyone actually looks at this kind of thing very openly. If a colleague dies, most people will cry and make a fuss and get drunk, and then the matter will be over.
The reason why Thatch's death caused such a big reaction is mainly because Blackbeard violated the taboo of killing his colleagues, and the dead Thatch was a cook.
The resentment that eating can bring is quite terrifying.
Now, with Whitebeard's father as a backup, the crew members who have a place to go even if they really die, their fear of death has suddenly become lighter.
And it is worth noting that as long as the contract is signed in time, the physiological functions of the Nether Ferryman and his crew are consistent with those of living people. They can eat, drink water, defecate and urinate, and even have children with women.
Will Turner in the original work took advantage of the time when he could get the soul for ten years in exchange for one day on shore, and made Elizabeth Swan pregnant with a big fat boy.
Unlike the Black Pearl crew members who were cursed by the Aztec gold coins, they were almost tortured to death after losing their taste, touch, smell and other physiological functions and desires.
But it is normal to think about it. The Aztec gold coins are a serious curse effect, and the Nether Ferryman is actually a civil servant in the sea world system, working for the gods. If you have to divide the effects, it is more like a blessing from the gods.
As for those who look like villains, it is just a punitive curse caused by Davy Jones's failure to perform his duties. After all, you occupy the workstation without working, and squander the company's resources for your own selfishness. Just giving a curse is already a very light punishment.
Not to mention that in the original work, Calypso, who was the immediate boss, was actually imprisoned in the human body prison by the materials provided by the worker Davy Jones...
Another point worth noting is that the old man did not cut out his heart and put it in the Soul Chest, and in fact, this is indeed not a necessary step to become the ferryman of the underworld.
Davy Jones was also loyal and devoted to being a bootlicker for ten years before he found that he was stood up. It was only after that that he took the initiative to dig out his heart and put it in the Soul Chest and buried it in the Pirate Beach because he didn't want to feel heartache.
But for Whitebeard, his own body is the strongest, and he is not as hypocritical as Davy Jones, so naturally he doesn't need to take the initiative to dig out his only weakness and put it in the box, providing others with the opportunity to kill him.
And if someone can really pierce his body and penetrate his heart, then Whitebeard will be happy.
Because this is enough to prove that the other party is a stronger person than himself, and being killed by a stronger person is the fate that pirates should face.
As I said before, the old man still takes death lightly. He chose to kill David Jones and become a ferryman for his stupid sons.
If one day in the future, his stupid sons all become ghost crew members and everyone is tired of living, maybe he will take the initiative to find someone to pierce his heart and run away~
So, this empty Soul Chest fell into Luke's hands.
At this time, the box has not yet presented a regular prop item panel, because it is not an item dropped through the regular process, so Luke directly launched the "Viking Power" derivative effect of "Find Items" on the box and plundered it successfully.
It was also with the help of this behavior that Luke completed the disguised purification of David Jones, who had fallen into the vortex and disappeared.
However, when the item panel popped up, Luke found that the attributes of this thing were not the original attributes, but an exclusive prop that was obviously linked to himself and even the Brave Front camp-
It turned out to be a portable public storage box that can be directly connected to the Brave Front base!
