[Comprehensive British and American] Gluttony Queen

Chapter 91 Synthesis of Britain and the United States: Death Row and Trading

The speed of the boat was very fast, and it didn't take long for the two of them to return to the Black Pearl.Angel said that stock could solve Davy Jones' curse, and the magical abilities she showed made Jack believe his words, so he no longer felt uneasy about the debt between Jones.

At the same time, on the Port Royal side, a couple of newlyweds who were about to hold a wedding were captured by a large number of naval soldiers. Will, who had gone to rescue Elizabeth with Jack, was crushed by a group of soldiers into a cell with his back to them. behind the man.Elizabeth in a wedding dress followed him, but she was powerless to resist.

Elizabeth's father, Wetherby Swan, the governor of Port Royal, rushed over immediately after hearing the news, but was stopped by soldiers with weapons, which made him furious: "You are so brave!" It was the back of the man looking at the scenery, "Tell your people to leave me immediately, do you hear me?!"

"Governor Wetherby Swan." The man turned around, "It's been a long time."

"Cutler Beckett?" Wetherby obviously recognized the man's identity and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's Lord Beckett now," the man reminded.The two soldiers who stopped the governor put away their weapons tactfully after discovering that this man was someone their superiors knew.

The governor took a step forward and said in an unhappy tone: "Whether you are a lord or not, you have no reason and no right to arrest this man." Naturally, he was referring to Will Turner who was about to marry his daughter.

"Actually, I have." Beckett said unhurriedly, "Mr. Massa."

The middle-aged man who followed him immediately opened a scroll, which contained several pieces of paper that looked like a letter of authorization.Beckett picked up the top one and handed it to the governor: "I have authorization to arrest the criminal William Turner."

Everyone present was taken aback. The governor hesitated for a moment before opening the paper. After seeing the content on it, he frowned and subconsciously looked at his daughter.

"Ah, sorry, I took the wrong one." Beckett said without sincerity, picked up another piece of paper, and showed it directly, "This is William Turner's arrest warrant."

"And the governor, what you have is Elizabeth Swan's arrest warrant." He glanced at the soldiers surrounding Will and ordered, "Arrest her."

"I have another one here, which belongs to James, Mr. Norrington." Beckett took two steps forward with the last arrest warrant, and asked in a raised voice, "Is he here?"

"Arrest us on what charge?!" Elizabeth struggled unwillingly.

It was her father who answered her. The governor looked at the arrest warrant in his hand and read: "The charge is that he conspired to release a death row prisoner who violated the laws of the empire, and the punishment for this..."

"The punishment for this, unfortunately, is also the death penalty." Beckett said the governor's unfinished order, walked up to Will and Elizabeth, and said in a calm tone, "Perhaps you still remember that a certain person named Jack Sparrow's Pirates."

"Jack Sparrow?" Both Elizabeth and Will looked puzzled, and Will asked, "Isn't he already dead? He was killed by Barbossa himself."

"So it seems that you really know him." Beckett smiled. "If he is really dead, what about his Black Pearl?"

"It was stolen by someone." The governor said with a look of resentment, "It is precisely because of this that Commander Norrington resigned from his post." He insisted on being responsible for the inexplicable disappearance of the Black Pearl, even if the governor There is no intention of holding him accountable.

"It's just what you said." Beckett sneered, "In my opinion, you first faked the death of Jack Spey, then brought him back to Port Royal, and helped him launch the Black Pearl. Out of port."

"Why do you guess like that?!" Elizabeth asked, glaring at him. Being arrested for such an unfounded reason during the wedding made her full of anger, "I saw Jack die with my own eyes!"

"And what about his body?" Beckett asked.

"I don't know!" Elizabeth said angrily, "And why should I know where a pirate's body is?"

Beckett, who was carefully observing Elizabeth's expression, couldn't help frowning. Judging from the woman's expression, she didn't seem to be lying.But, so what if he didn't lie, he said she was a criminal, and she was a criminal: "Well, maybe you can tell me why, last week, some soldiers saw Jack Sparrow driving the Black Pearl, Sailing on the high seas."

"You mean, Jack is not dead?!" Will asked with a little joy in surprise.He originally felt guilty because he asked Jack to help him save Elizabeth, but it resulted in the death of the other party. Now that he learned that Jack might not be dead, the guilt in his heart disappeared a lot.

Will's reaction moved Beckett's heart. Regarding Will's question, he just smiled and asked the soldiers to take them both down.

Not long after, Will was brought alone to Beckett who was discussing the issue with others. Beckett had someone unshackle Will's hands, poured him a glass of wine, and then said: "William Te Na, the East India Company needs your services."

Will just glanced at him sideways, didn't speak, and didn't take the wine glass he handed him.

Beckett was not angry either. He put down the wine glass in his hand, paced the room, and said, "We hope that you can act as our agent and negotiate a business with our mutual friend, Captain Sparrow."

"We are just acquaintances, not friends." Will finally said, and then asked, "How did you know each other?"

"We had a deal in the past." Beckett, who walked to the fireplace, picked up a hot soldering iron in the fireplace. The bottom end of the soldering iron was in the shape of a letter P. "We all left our own imprint."

It was a brand that represented a pirate's identity, and Will also knew that there was such a brand on Jack's wrist. Now it seems that it should be Lord Beckett who branded him.However, Will looked at him with interest and asked, "What mark did he leave on you?"

Beckett didn't answer his question, changed the subject directly, and returned to Will and said, "You've dealt with Jack Sparrow for a while, so you must have a certain understanding of him. We need you to find him, Get something from him."

"How?" Will sneered, "Using guns and swords to force him to hand it over?"

"No, it's a transaction." Beckett smiled, and took out a leather bag from the box on his desk. After unfolding it, there was a license inside, "This is a private plunder license issued directly by the royal family. If you can get that thing from Jack, you will be set free, and Jack, will become a privateer hired by the royal family."

However, at this time, Will finally understood one thing: "You already knew that Elizabeth and I did not let Jack Sparrow go. You framed us as prisoners just to let me help you find Jack."

"It's just your wishful thinking." Beckett didn't want to continue chatting with him, and said quite concisely, "In short, as long as you can bring back the compass he carried with him from Jack, your crime will be pardoned." He looked at Will's expression and smiled, "It seems that you know this thing."

Will remembered the compass that Jack used before, which did not point to the south. Beckett wanted to get this compass so obscenely, it seems that it does have magical powers, as Jack said.

Beckett approached him and whispered, "Bring back the compass, or this transaction will be void." After speaking, he was not worried that Will would reject his request, and turned and left the room.

Will looked at the back of Beckett leaving, thinking of Elizabeth who was still imprisoned in the cell, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only do what the other party said.

If you want to find Jack, you must first find his Black Pearl.Fortunately, he knew a good place to find such information.Tertuga, the island that Jack once took him to, belongs to the pirates.

After many twists and turns, after ruling out a few news that were purely rumors, Will finally got the news about Jack, or the Black Pearl.He boarded a boat bound for the island where the Black Pearl was last seen, paid for of course, and was kicked off the boat as it approached the island, thinking the captain didn't want to waste his time docking at an unoccupied ship. Any resource on a small island without a port is easy to run aground.

After Will landed on the island, he circled half of the island along the beach, and finally saw the Black Pearl reclining on the beach, and the crew members lying on the ground not far away.

Will, who was taken aback, ran over quickly. After seeing the heaving chests of the crew members and hearing the snoring sounds when they approached, he realized that they were just falling asleep, rather than dying here because of a shipwreck.

Not far from where the crew fell, there was the remains of a huge fire, and there were various empty bottles scattered around. It seemed that they should have held a celebration.

Will shuttled through the fallen crew, trying to find Jack Sparrow, until he looked at everyone here, only to find that Jack Sparrow was not here at all.
