In the huge and spacious cave, the pirates held torches and kept making meaningless roars and cheers.
Countless gold and silver jewels piled up into a mountain, emitting strange colors under the light of the fire. The moonlight from the top of the cave shone directly on the ancient treasure box at the top of the 'Golden Mountain'. There were mysterious patterns carved on the outside of the treasure box, and there were nearly a lot of stuff piled inside.
Thousands of exquisite gold coins engraved with skull marks.
Cursed Aztec Gold Coin!
Will was grabbed tightly by two burly men, and his whole body was crouched above the treasure chest so that when his throat was slit and the blood was drained, the gold coins in the chest could receive enough blood.
Barbossa stood next to the treasure chest holding a short knife, roaring with joy:
"It starts with blood and ends with blood. We have been waiting for too long. Today we are going to..."
The impassioned speech had just begun when Barbossa looked at the crowd below with his eyes widened.
They saw Jack Sparrow, who they thought was certain to die, with his hands on his hips and a mean smile on his face as he looked at Barbossa, who was about to give a speech:
"Go on, Hector, I always like to listen to your speeches. Not only are they very stimulating, but they are always fully engaged. You know? Every time I listen to your speech, I can't help but want to ask you for an autograph.
.”
"Impossible..." Barbossa really couldn't understand why Jack Sparrow was able to escape from death on that isolated island again?
This can only be attributed to the fact that the Black Pearl sailed too fast, and at that time the pirates were busy holding captives and celebrating that the curse was about to be lifted. Even the lookouts were half-hearted and did not even see the looming smoke in the direction of the desert island behind them.
"Where is Elizabeth?" Will struggled and asked loudly as soon as he saw Jack.
Jack pointed at the orchid and said proudly:
"She's safe, just like I promised. And then she's going to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you're going to die for her, just like you promised. So, we're all
Some men who keep their word...well, Elizabeth needs to be excluded, she's a woman."
"Shut up! You're next!" The curse was about to be lifted, and even Jack couldn't shake Barbossa's determination. He turned his head and gestured to the two pirates who were escorting Will: "Do it!"
Will's upper body was immediately lowered to less than two feet above the box, and the gleaming dagger in Barbossa's hand was pressed against the left side of Will's neck.
"No, no, no, if I were you, I would never do that." Jack began to scare Barbossa in a pretentious manner.
Barbossa looked back at Jack suspiciously and said viciously: "That's what I'm going to do, and you can't stop me, Jack."
After saying that, he turned to look at Will again. This time no one could stop the curse from being lifted!
"It doesn't matter, it will just be your funeral anyway." Jack spread his hands, indicating that it didn't matter.
But Barbossa fell for this trick. He endured it again and again, holding the dagger in his hand several times and determined to stab it, but in the end he rolled his eyes and turned to look at Jack: "Say!"
"The pride of the Royal Navy, the HMS Dauntless, is parked outside. When you return to your flesh and blood and happily paddle out of the cave in a boat, sixteen ruthless cannons will be waiting for you."
Jack thought about that scene and couldn't help but shuddered: "Man, cannons, sixteen cannons! Do you think you can handle them?"
The pirates around him couldn't help but make buzzing noises. No one wanted to just lift the curse and return to the colorful world, and then be bombarded to pieces by artillery within half an hour.
"...Then, why did you come here to report the news to us? Wouldn't it be more to your liking to let us and the Royal Navy fight each other?"
Barbossa didn't believe that Jack would be a good man who would retaliate with kindness. Maybe it was possible for Jack ten years ago, but now... it's absolutely impossible.
"Because of the Black Pearl, man! If you two go to war, the Black Pearl will inevitably be hit by artillery fire. She is my beauty and she should not be treated like this."
Jack walked up to Barbossa with sissy steps, raised his orchid finger and talked:
"Look, you can send these loyal, fearless and immortal gentlemen to kill everyone on the Dreadnought who dares to resist. How do you say that? Fish are fish, shrimps are shrimps, you can do it in one fell swoop.
There will be two good ships forming a fleet. Of course..."
Jack casually grabbed a handful of gold coins from the Aztec treasure box next to him, and then threw one back into the box: "You can definitely choose a big ship as your flagship. My dear Hector, no one will follow you.
Fight. But what about the black pearl?"
Bah! Throwing back another gold coin, Jack looked at Barbossa with bright eyes: "...let me be the captain? I will serve under you and hand over 10% of what I robbed, and you can make yourself the captain.
For Fleet Commander, Commander Barbossa, understand (Savvy)?”
Barbossa didn't pay attention to the joking in Jack's tone, and sneered: "I think you want me not to kill this little brat."
"No, no, no, that's not the case at all. Although it would be nice to kill him, but not now!"
Jack threw the gold coins in his hand back into the box one by one, very rhythmically: "But after you kill Norrington and all his men."
After throwing the gold coin, Jack's hand made a slight movement that was very difficult to detect. Only Will, who was the closest and focused on Jack, saw it. He understood and immediately said loudly: "Since you know my name
, planned all of this from the beginning!”
"That's right! Smart young man." Jack raised his eyebrows at him, making a pun.
"I want 50% of your looting income!" At this time, Barbossa said.
"One and a half percent!"
"Thirty percent!"
"Twenty-five percent!"
"..." Barbossa fell silent.
Jack immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I will also buy you a hat, a big hat that truly suits your status, Commander!"
Barbosa subconsciously glanced in the direction of the tattered wide felt hat on his head, a smile slowly appeared on his lips, and he stretched out his hand: "It's settled."
"It's settled." Jack grinned, turned around and opened his hands to the pirates below and shouted: "Everyone, board the ship!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jack turned to look at Barbossa, who had an unkind expression, clasped his hands and stepped back: "Sorry, you should give the orders..."
Barbossa then looked at the pirates below with a cold smile:
"Gentlemen, let's go for a walk."
The pirates below showed understanding smiles and walked out of the cave one after another.
"...Why don't you get on the boat?" Jack was a little puzzled.
Barbossa looked back at him with a meaningful smile.
They are immortal. As long as they are illuminated by the moonlight, they will reveal their true form as skeletons. They are not afraid of death and do not need to breathe. These pirates can approach the Dauntless on foot from the bottom of the sea, teaching those arrogant navies a profound lesson. This
This is also a trick they often use when dealing with warships with powerful firepower.
Jack smiled and wanted to follow him out, but Barbosa's big hand pinched his shoulder: "No, Jack, you'd better stay and chat with me."
"Hector, you are so confused! You are not a beautiful woman. I have nothing to talk to you about." Jack showed a disgusted expression.
But the musket with only one bullet in Jack's waist was suddenly pulled out by Barbossa. Before Jack could resist, the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his chest.
Barbossa sneered: "Let's talk about how you escaped from that desert island."
The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. How could this bastard Jack Sparrow be so kind? But the people have already been sent out. These immortal pirates can kill the Royal Navy even if they are used up. As for Jack... To thank you
He brought such important news, so just use the single-shot musket you left for him to kill him.
How ironic, Jack has kept that single-shot musket for ten years just to use it to avenge himself. If he had used it to shoot Jack, Jack's expression before death would have been very wonderful.
There is no need for him to die, Jack's expression now is very wonderful.
His mouth formed an O shape, and he raised his hands to indicate that he was not in danger.
Will was still being held captive by the two pirates, unable to move, and even trying to save him was powerless.
At this moment, a slightly frivolous voice sounded in the treasure cave:
"Can you please not be so strict with my apprentice? He is still a child."
Barbossa suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a handsome young man wearing a brand-new sailor suit, with slightly curly black hair casually falling out of the darkness, with a smile on his face.
It's mockery and teasing.
"Shouldn't you state your name before speaking?" Barbossa hooked his hand. A pirate came over and put a sword to Jack's neck, while Barbossa raised his musket and aimed at the new unfamiliar character.
From this distance, Barbossa could hit this kid's heart with his eyes closed.
"Please call me Heather. The mustache you threatened and ridiculed is my useless apprentice."
Heather pointed her finger at Jack, who smiled sarcastically at Heather: "Dear mentor, in fact, you don't need to take action, everything is under my control."
"Of course I believe you, apprentice." Heather nodded slightly: "But I don't have much patience. My tone tells you to continue to fool poor Mr. Barbossa. It's not that I just say it straight away. It's better for everyone."
boom--!!
The sound of a gunshot interrupted the boring nonsense between the master and the apprentice.
The muzzle of the musket in Barbossa's hand was smoking, and his tone was cold: "Are you two taking me for a fool? First of all, Jack Sparrow, his death was caused by his heart being broken by a bullet. And you, a stranger
Asian boy, you will be chopped into pieces by me!"
Jack looked down at his chest. A bullet hole hit his heart.
Heather whistled: "Cool! To be honest, that's what villains should do. Don't give the right side a chance to talk, and take decisive action when it's time."
Barbossa looked at Heather in confusion, and then looked back at Jack. He found that Heather didn't have any emotional reactions like anger or fear.
I saw Jack staggering back a few steps, and suddenly stepped into the moonlight.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, his whole body turned into a skeleton with dry and hard rotting flesh. The bullet fell from between the hollow sternum and smashed into the mountains of gold and silver jewelry.
Previously, when Jack picked up gold coins from the treasure chest, he deliberately withheld one using magic. According to the curse rules of Aztec gold coins - [Those who take gold coins from the treasure chest will be cursed by the undead. They can only use '
It can only be repaid with blood].
Jack used the curse to voluntarily become an undead so that he could not be fatally injured when fighting Barbossa and his gang.
Barbossa roared, Jack Sparrow was indeed his destined enemy, he could come up with some new tricks for him at any time!
He was about to rush forward with a knife to fight Jack, but was attracted by the sudden golden fire that lit up in the corner of his eyes.
A gorgeous golden cross sword appeared in the hand of the young man with dark hair. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary sword.
Everything is according to Heather's plan.
He needs an opponent who is unique enough and not too dangerous to test how much of [Absolute King Power]'s extraordinary ability is left.
After thinking about it, the most convenient and closest one is Barbossa's group. They are all undead cursed by Aztec gold coins. They are no different from skeleton soldiers, so they are perfect candidates for sword testing.
But you have to think of the worst in everything. If [Absolute King Power] really loses the ability of 'Supernatural Nemesis', then he will be besieged on this island by a large group of undead who are not afraid of physical attacks.
So he came to rescue Elizabeth's sweetheart William Turner under the guise of Elizabeth's wish. Not only did he bring the Dauntless with top-notch speed and firepower and a large number of British Royal Navy, he also asked Jack to make two preparations.
He first asked Jack to go in and disrupt Barbossa's plan, and sent most of the undead pirates out to fight the Royal Navy, leaving Barbossa and a few undead to test the sword. Then he asked Jack to take advantage of the chaos to steal a gold coin to make it temporary.
Become an undead, so that you don't have to worry about Barbossa and others attacking him first in the chaos. After all, Jack Sparrow will attract hatred as long as he stands there, and the taunting effect is first-rate.
If [Absolute Kingship] really loses its 'Supernatural Nemesis' effect and there is nothing you can do with these skeletons, then Jack and Will will immediately cut the palms of their hands (or other places) with knives, stain the blood on the gold coins and throw them back
Treasure chest.
In this way, all the cursed gold coins are returned to their places, and the curse is immediately lifted. Barbossa and others are ordinary sailors with mortal bodies, and even if they are tied together, they will not be Heather's opponents.
This plan sounds a bit timid, but as a 'foreigner', Heather is also the first time to travel formally. There are many things that she must figure out by herself. The [power] to ensure her safe travel is even more important, no matter how cautious she is.
Not an exaggeration.
The golden flame that had been extinguished since the time traveled began to ignite from the sword in the form of dots of fire, seemingly reacting to the 'supernormal ability'.
In the firelight, Heather's lips curved into a smile.
