Outlander's Journey

Chapter 92 Black Pearl

Barbossa concluded that the Black Pearl cannot be considered a weapon.

The Black Pearl is of special significance to both Barbosa and Jack. Jack regards the Black Pearl as his spiritual sustenance and home, while Barbosa regards her as his favorite home.

As pirates, they can go ashore to look for flowers and willows, and they can go free and easy. It is possible for one day, two days or even half a year. But for them, the ultimate destination and home will always be the Black Pearl.

Heather didn’t say much, but watched the pirates and Marines work together to empty the entire cave treasure room, and the Aztec stone chest was moved to the captain’s room of the Black Pearl.

After seeing the terrible curse on the pirates, no Marine would steal a skull gold coin from a stone chest without opening his eyes, and those pirates have just returned to normal human bodies, and how far they can hide the gold coins.

Standing at the ferry, Heather admired the whole picture of the Black Pearl in the moonlight.

This three-masted sailing ship is about 165 feet long. The top deck is equipped with ten Fourth Gate cannons, and there are ten Eight Gates in the cabin. Both the hull and the sails are strangely black, and the bow looks like a classic support. Pigeon angel.

The predecessor of the Black Pearl was an armed merchant ship named The Wicked Wench. Seventeen years ago, the young and energetic Jack Sparrow was originally the first mate on the old Teague’s ship, but because he also wanted to be the captain, he ran away angrily after arguing with him many times and came to the East India Company from the bottom. The sailor began to climb up.

This work lasts for five years.

At that time, the board member of the East India Company, Cutler Beckett, felt that this young man was particularly top-notch as a sailor or navigator and was worth training, so he facilitated the promotion of the young Jack to the captain of his merchant ship “Bad Girl”.

Jack indeed lived up to Beckett’s expectations and was able to deliver the goods to the place perfectly every time. Beckett has become more and more friendly to him, and the relationship between the two can even be said to be “friends”.

Their friendship lasted until Jack discovered that Beckett was engaged in the private slave trade, which made Jack, who advocated freedom, extremely disgusted. Since then, Jack will unceremoniously refuse any tasks that Jack finds related to the slave trade.

After a while, Beckett wanted to find an aboriginal island in the Atlantic Ocean, seize the abundant resources there and practice colonial servitude. But because of no means, he found Jack and initiated a negotiation-30% of the treasure on the island will be allocated to Jack, and the proceeds from the slave trade will be allocated another 10%, as long as Jack helps him to confuse and win a slave from this island Trust can be.

The reward can be said to be very generous, because he knows that Jack hates the slave trade, so Beckett added one-if you accept the task but don’t complete it and don’t return to the voyage, then I will directly judge you as a pirate.

At that time, the East India Company was a global giant with great power and its own armed forces. Most of the company’s directors had the right to mobilize Royal Marine and impose penalties, so what Beckett said was not alarmist.

Jack took the task, and then returned to the voyage again after going to sea for a few weeks, claiming that the position disclosed by the slave was false, and that the slave found a chance to escape successfully, and they were all deceived by the slave.

Beckett knew Jack was lying, but he couldn’t show evidence.

He secretly hated Jack for ruining his business, so he asked Jack to transport a whole ship of slaves, and offered an attractive price that Jack could not refuse.

[This is the last task. As long as you can complete it, I will sell the “Bad Girl” to you for one shilling. 】

At that time, one shilling was equivalent to the cost of berthing a ship, and to put it bluntly was a free delivery.

Jack really got on the set. His biggest dream is to own his own boat, and the Bad Girl is his dream goal.

This time, Jack went out to sea for a week and then drove in the direction where the slaves had been released. The East India Company agents who had been secretly following Jack quickly approached and boarded the ship to arrest Jack, but found that the entire ship of slaves had disappeared and had to be detained. Back to East Africa.

Beckett was furious, took Jack on his ship, used a hot red soldering iron to mark Jack’s right arm with a pirate mark [P], and then sailed the ship to the sea away from the East India Company port, forcing Jack to look on the deck The Bad Girl was ignited and burned, and then was completely blown up by the warship’s artillery and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Seeing that the first ship in his life was destroyed in one shot, Jack suddenly broke free and jumped into the sea to swim towards the Bad Girl.

I never saw him again.

Jack didn’t know how to find the deep sea Hades David Jones who was driving the ghost ship [Flying Dutchman], and asked the other party to revive his ship.

David Jones could naturally see what a good sailor Jack was, so he offered a deal. He can resurrect the Bad Girl and give Jack thirteen years to be his captain freely, but as soon as the agreed time comes, Jack must return to the flying Dutchman to serve for one hundred years.

Jack’s nature is to take a step to look at the type of non-consequence, no matter what will happen in thirteen years, he naturally promised.

Therefore, on a stormy night, the raging sea surface slowly bulged, and the Bad Girl broke through the sea surface and returned to the world with a completely new posture.

Because she was burned by flames and sunk by artillery, the hull of the ship was dark and black, with ominous black sails hung on the mast, hunting in the wind and rain. At the same time, David Jones also applied magic to the ship’s hull, allowing her to have the fastest speed in the Caribbean.

Since then, Jack has referred to this ship as the [Black Pearl].

Appreciating the dark and mysterious black hull of the Black Pearl, Heather touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

This is indeed a good ship, but it is not Heather’s ultimate goal.

Thinking of this, Heather turned to look at Jack who was negotiating with Norrington Commodore.

Obviously, Norrington Commodore and his Royal Marine were caught off guard by the pirates, but because the curse was lifted in a timely manner, there were not many casualties on Marine’s side. When Jack found Norling, the latter was planning to teach the pirates a profound lesson, and he barely suppressed his anger after hearing Heather’s order.

At this time, Barbosa’s voice came from behind Heather:

“My lord, where is the next destination?”

“On the Intrepid, please invite Miss Elizabeth and Mr. Will to the Black Pearl, and then notify Norrington to follow us to the direction of Port Royal.”

Heather was sure that as long as Elizabeth was on board the Black Pearl, Governor Swann and Norrington would not act rashly. Coupled with the speed of the Black Pearl that is the highest in the Caribbean Sea, he was not afraid that they would escape halfway.

Port Royal? Barbossa wanted to say that such a group of pirates went to Port Royal as a snare, but considering Heather’s elusive and eccentric character, he wisely closed his mouth, stroked his chest and saluted Heather and strode towards fearlessness. No. go.
