Looking at Heather's half-smiling face, Blackbeard knew in his heart - this man was not joking!
He looked at Angelica in Heather's arms again. She looked so much like Peroni, as beautiful and as stubborn... Looking at Angelica's red and full eyes
With hopeful eyes, Blackbeard hesitated several times, unable to say the word "life" from his mouth.
Once she says it, it is equivalent to selling Angelica to Heather, and the child will be a slave to Heather, the pirate leader, for the rest of her life.
But, do you really want to trade your own life for Angelica's future?
No matter which option she chooses, Angelica will survive, but she can only choose between survival and death.
After all, the relationship between himself and Angelica is not that close. Is a daughter he has just met just now really worth dying for?
No, not worth it!
Edward Teach, you have to think carefully. As long as you survive, you can rise again with the help of voodoo secrets and black magic. When you accumulate enough power, you can retake the Queen Anne's Revenge and the treasure from Heather.
The Blade of Triton...and Angelica.
But if you die, there is nothing.
Blackbeard changed his expression several times, and finally his eyes became firm, and he licked his dry lips and said slowly: "I...I choose...[Life]."
After Angelica heard that word, the light in her eyes gradually extinguished. She looked at Blackbeard in disbelief. In the end, she didn't say anything and just buried her head in Heather's chest.
Heather was decisive. She reached out and pulled out the sword that nailed Blackbeard, throwing it to the floor, and then summoned a light egg to heal Blackbeard:
"I respect your choice. So according to the agreement...Miss Angelica, the Queen Anne's Revenge, the Triton Blade and all your crew and treasures belong to me, right?"
"Ahem, only the treasures loaded on the ship."
Blackbeard added that making a contract these days really requires being precise:
"I will hand over all this to you, and you will also let me live as agreed, and give me a ship and enough supplies to return to the nearest port?"
"I'm giving you a small boat, don't confuse the concepts."
Heather smiled and stretched out her right hand: "So, the deal is established?"
Blackbeard also healed his wounds under the treatment of the light egg, but his face turned pale due to excessive blood loss (the light egg did not regenerate blood for him). He hesitated for a moment, then held Heather's outstretched right hand:
"...the transaction is established."
Feeling the loosening of some 'conditions' in his mind, Heather smiled even more gently, and he shouted toward the deck above the cabin: "First mate! First mate!"
Barbossa's head came down from the top of the stairs: "Captain, are you looking for me?"
"Prepare a small boat for the great Captain Blackbeard, and prepare enough supplies and fresh water for him to go to the nearest port. Remember, you must have a correct attitude, this is Miss Angelica's biological father."
After saying that, Heather turned to look at Blackbeard and waved her hand to indicate that he could leave: "Then, I hope we will never see you again, Blackbeard."
"Me too, Captain Heather."
Blackbeard took one last deep look at Angelica in Heather's arms, and then stepped up the stairs back to the deck without looking back.
Barbossa followed Heather's instructions and found a small but adequate boat for Blackbeard. This was the Black Pearl's own small fishing boat, which Heather bought for the crew's fishing pleasure.
"Two barrels of fresh water, plenty of biscuits, two chunks of corned beef, a butcher's knife, and even a bottle of rum."
Barbossa stood on the small boat undulating with the sea below the Black Pearl, looked at Blackbeard, and laughed in his exaggerated opera aria:
"The nearest port from here is San Juan. The direction has been pointed out for you. The compass is also on you. I wish you all the best, Mr. Blackbeard. Our captain is so kind. I hope you will consider your current situation when you go to sea again in the future.
.”
After saying that, Barbossa was about to return to the Black Pearl, but when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Blackbeard.
Blackbeard narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Barbossa, and whispered unwillingly:
"Hector Barbossa, you are the famous Pirate King of the Caspian Sea, an immortal captain who has conquered countless ports. Are you so willing to be his dog?"
"...What do you mean?" Barbossa's smile faded slightly.
"Don't say you didn't see it. That little boy didn't treat you, me, or even Angelica as normal people at all. He placed himself in a high position in the clouds, looking down at the world from the perspective of a god.
.”
Blackbeard foamed at the corners of his mouth with excitement, but still did not dare to speak loudly:
"He only became a pirate out of fun. When he gets tired of this game, all of you pirates who follow him will be liquidated immediately! Don't be stubborn, Barbossa, cooperate with me! I can teach you
How to use black magic and voodoo witchcraft, I can give you half of the looted treasure!"
Barbossa slowly sat down on the side of the boat: "Then what?"
"You and I work together inside and outside to find Heather's weakness, and then kill him!"
Blackbeard lowered himself in front of Barbossa and whispered urgently:
"The Queen Anne's Revenge and Angelica are mine, and all the other treasures and ships will be given to you! Wait, I also want Heather's body. I want to make you a voodoo ghost, and you will never be... ugh!"
Blackbeard looked down in disbelief, only to see a short knife piercing his chest deeply, and blood kept pouring out. He looked up at Barbossa again, and murmured on his lips: "He...he promised...promise
of……"
Barbossa pulled out his short knife and stabbed it into Blackbeard's chest again. He whispered in his ear and whispered: "Yes, the captain did promise it. But as a loyal first mate, this is my arbitrary decision."
Private decision, any questions Blackbeard?"
"You...you..." Blackbeard's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he knelt down on the boat, glaring at Barbossa angrily.
"Conspirating to harm the great captain in the presence of a loyal first mate...Should I call you stupid, or should I praise you for your courage?"
Barbossa let go of the handle of the knife, took out the silk scarf from his pocket and wiped his hands slowly:
"You're right about one thing. The captain is indeed different from us. He has absolute strength that no one can match. He is a god who always sits high in the clouds. If the gods come down to earth and want to have fun, then we can concentrate on accompanying them, and maybe we will get some favors.
Reward. And being an enemy of the gods will only lead to death... Such a simple truth, why don't you understand it? Oh, you're dead..."
Barbossa looked at Blackbeard who had completely stopped breathing and shook his head.
He has already understood a truth - Heather does not belong to this world, he is a god who comes down to play or some other powerful species. Perhaps Heather has a human-like appearance, preferences and personality, but this still cannot conceal his extraordinary
man's nature.
If surrendering to an ordinary pirate would make you feel like you can't get off the stage, then kneeling down in front of a god doesn't seem to be a big problem. If you are a devout believer, you will probably dance with joy, right?
Look at Jack, although this kid is crazy, he is the first person to understand this truth. And he also successfully obtained the supreme reward from the 'gods' - the 'divine magic' controlled by the gods, called '
The extraordinary power of mind.
Invulnerable to all diseases, eternal youth, and strange abilities of different forms... With such a reward, Barbossa will naturally not fall behind Jack.
When the gods get tired of the games in this world, they will inevitably leave. At that time, only Jack and himself in the whole world will know how to use the 'mind power'. Let's wait until then to have a showdown, Jack! Before that, I will try my best to play the role well.
The roles of first mate' and 'butler'.
Climbing back up the rope ladder to the deck of the Black Pearl, Barbossa looked at the bosun, Mr. Gibbs, and showed a cruel smile: "Sink this little ship."
"Huh?" Mr. Gibbs was a little puzzled: "But, the supplies on the boat..."
"It all sank."
Barbossa threw the blood-stained silk scarf back into the boat:
"Those are the things the captain gave to Blackbeard. Let them sink into the sea with Blackbeard. If the captain or Miss Angelica asks, just say it was my order."
There was something Barbossa did not say to these sailors.
The last words Captain Heather said to Blackbeard - "I hope we will never see you again, Blackbeard" - actually sentenced Blackbeard to death.
From the beginning, Heather made her choice for Blackbeard.
