Upon hearing Heather's words, Davy Jones did not show any excitement, but let out an undisguised mocking laugh:
"Ha! You know Calypso, but you still dare to claim that you can lift my curse? Captain Heather, your madness makes me admire you, and your stupidity also makes me happy."
The reason why the crew on the [Flying Dutchman] became neither human nor ghosts is because the hull itself received a 'gift' from the sea goddess Calypso. Of course, it can also be called a 'curse'
'.
As long as they set foot on this ship and sign a contract with Captain Davy Jones, they will slowly transform into a half-man, half-sea monster. As long as the [Flying Dutchman] itself is not destroyed, in the conventional sense they will not
die.
It's like the Lich in DND who entrusts his soul in the "soul box" and is therefore immortal.
As the captain, Davy Jones was even more viciously cursed. He could only go ashore once every ten years. Otherwise, he could not set foot on the "earth", otherwise cruel soul torture would be waiting for him.
After hundreds of years of endless wandering at sea, even Davy Jones, who loves the sea, feels deeply tired.
But this curse was imposed by the sea goddess Calypso herself, and no one can lift it.
Now that this young boy in front of him dares to claim that he can lift Calypso's curse by relying on his powerful black magic skills? Davy Jones felt that he was showing great restraint by just mocking him.
Facing Davy Jones's cynicism, Heather smiled indifferently: "You don't believe me, well, that's understandable. After all, the curse of the ocean goddess Calypso is something that no one can match in your eyes. Let's
Let me think about it... is there a crew member on your ship named Bill Turner?"
Davy Jones looked at Heather suspiciously: "Yes, there is such a person. What do you want to do?"
"You will find out soon."
…………
The deck of the Black Pearl was filled with sailors from both sides of Wuyang Wuyang. The sailors of the Black Pearl, who had not yet lifted the curse of the undead, were particularly confident. They stared at the sea monster sailors of the Dutchman with their heads held high.
Climb! Climb! Climb!
With the sound of the hard crab leg shells clanging against the planks, Davy Jones strode onto the deck and loudly asked: "Bill Turner! Where is Bill Turner!?"
Barbossa and Jack looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes - 'Boot-lacing' Old Bill? He's not dead?
A middle-aged man wearing a black turban, half of his face was distorted, and his right arm and coat were covered with barnacles. He came forward with a hunched back: "Captain, I'm here."
Compared with other sailors of the Dutchman, Bill Turner's degree of alienation is not particularly high. Perhaps this is because he insists on being a "human" in his heart.
Davy Jones looked at Bill Turner up and down on crutches, then turned to look at the captain's cabin in the rear: "Captain Heather, it's time for you to 'perform'."
Heather, wearing a dark red waterproof windbreaker, walked out of the captain's cabin, looked at Bill Turner and nodded: "Mr. Turner, nice to meet you."
Bill Turner didn't know why the powerful new captain of the Black Pearl was looking for him, so he could only awkwardly touch his chest and bow to show respect.
"Don't be too polite. I have met your son Will. He is a good and upright young man."
Heather waved her hand: "If nothing happens, Will will marry Elizabeth Swann, the daughter of the Governor of Port Royal, in half a year. If you can attend the wedding and give your blessings to the newlyweds, Will and Elizabeth will surely
I will be very happy.”
After hearing the news about his son, Bill Turner's eyes lit up and his back became less hunched. But then he lowered his head. With his monster-like appearance, how could he be qualified to attend Will's wedding? And he was going to be flying.
A hundred years of service on the Dutchman and going to a wedding? Don't even think about it.
Heather looked at Davy Jones: "Mr. Davy Jones, what do you say?"
"As you say." Davy Jones took out a strange-looking big pipe: "If you can really change Bill Turner back to his original human appearance, then I will dissolve the relationship between him and the Flying Dutchman.
The contract gives him freedom!"
"It's a deal." As soon as he finished speaking, four round stone balls quietly appeared around Heather.
Three of the stone balls were suspended in front of Bill Turner, and the remaining one was held in Heather's hand.
As the golden fluorescence lights up, different Gubalot runes appear on the surface of the four stone balls, and gradually twist and unify into the same rune - [Purification]!
The golden glow penetrated Bill Turner's skin, muscles, and bone marrow, reaching to the depths of his soul. The Poseidon curse lingering on the "Flying Dutchman" originally turned into a chain to entangle Bill Turner's soul, but now it was in the glow.
The ashes fly into smoke and completely dissipate.
As people watched, the dense barnacles on Biltena's body continued to dry up and crumble, and a starfish gradually appeared on the originally distorted right face and fell to the deck with a snap. His skin originally seemed to be soaked in
The floating corpse that had been in the water for too long has now regained its rosy color as a human being, and its hunched back has become straight.
In just ten seconds, Bill Turner changed from a monster who was neither human nor ghost to a handsome middle-aged man whose appearance was 70% similar to Will's. He had long black curly hair hanging down on his shoulders and wore a black turban.
, his eyes swept away the previous decadence and indifference, and became bright and lively.
There was silence on the deck of the Black Pearl.
Jack and Barbossa couldn't believe their eyes. They had really recovered? There was no mistaking it. This damn handsome face was none other than "Boot Lace" Bill Turner himself!
Squidward's mouth was half open, and the pipe in his hand fell to the deck without him noticing.
And Bill Turner raised his trembling hands to touch his face. There were no more disgusting barnacles and swelling, and he had truly become a human again!
Maria thoughtfully presented the mirror, and in the mirror, Bill Turner saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face. He didn't even have time to feel happy, but looked back at Davy Jones, fearing that he would go back on his bet and not be able to
Set yourself free.
Only then did Davy Jones come back to his senses. He strode up to Heather, took a few breaths to calm down, and said in a lowered voice: "...What is the content of the [transaction] you mentioned? You want me to do it."
What?"
"Oops, Mr. Davy Jones, did you write to me this time?" Heather said jokingly: "About Bill Turner's bet..."
"I'll let him go free! Let him go immediately!" Davy Jones impatiently waved his giant crab claws at Bill Turner. The latter only felt a sense of relief deep in his heart. He was free.
Davy Jones turned to look at Heather again: "Tell me, what price do I need to pay before you are willing to lift my curse?"
Now even if Heather says that he is the illegitimate son of Poseidon, the King of the Sea, Davy Jones will believe it without hesitation. The curse of Calypso, the goddess of the sea, can be lifted so easily. Except for those missing gods in the world,
No one else can do it.
Heather shook her finger: "Don't worry, the deal must be done one by one. Let's fulfill the first deal first - you find the traces of Blackbeard for me as a reward for letting you live. Wait until you complete it.
The first deal, let’s talk about your curse.”
Davy Jones was silent for a while, then stretched out his right hand: "Deal. When I find Blackbeard, where should I find you?"
————
Heather shook the other person's extended hand: "Don't worry, you can find any information about me and the Black Pearl in any tavern."
After taking a deep look at Heather, Davy Jones turned around neatly and walked towards the direction of the Flying Dutchman, shouting: "Everyone, set off immediately!"
"Yes, Captain!" The sailors of the Dutchman were also very excited, shouting one after another.
Looking at the Flying Dutchman submerged in the sea in the distance, Jack tiptoed to Heather: "Mentor, about my deal with Davy Jones..."
"I've erased it for you. Be careful, Jack, and don't make random promises in the future."
Heather glanced at Jack: "There are many supernatural forces in this world. I'm sure you will fall into trouble again one day."
"Then as long as I learn your skills, I won't be afraid anymore?" Jack said with a smile. Now he really wants to learn Heather's weird 'witchcraft'. Even the curse of the ocean goddess can be easily lifted, and hundreds of people can do it.
The 10-foot-tall Kraken was also manipulated by him. If he learned these skills, wouldn't he be able to sail across the seven seas and become the 'Forever Captain Jack Sparrow'?
"You finally figured it out." Heather nodded happily as she watched this lazy apprentice finally regain his fighting spirit to learn.
