Chapter 92 The Black Pearl



Chapter 92 The Black Pearl
Barbossa concluded that the Black Pearl could not be considered a weapon.

The Black Pearl has a special meaning for both Barbossa and Jack. Jack regards the Black Pearl as his spiritual sustenance and destination, while Barbossa regards her as his favorite home.

As pirates, they can go ashore to search for flowers and willows, and they can go to relax, one day, two days, or even half a year.But for them, the ultimate home and home will always be the Black Pearl.

Heather didn't say much, just watched the pirates and the navy work together to evacuate the entire cave's treasure room, and the Aztec stone box was moved to the captain's room of the Black Pearl.

After seeing the terrifying curse on the pirates, no navy would steal the gold skeleton from the stone box without opening his eyes, and those pirates had just recovered their normal bodies, and they were more likely to hide from the gold coins.

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

This three-masted sailing ship is about 160 five feet long, with fourteen cannons on the top deck and eighteen in the cabin; both the hull and the sails are weird black, and the bow looks like a classic dove angel.

The predecessor of the Black Pearl was an armed merchant ship named The Wicked Wench. 17 years ago, the young and energetic Jack Sparrow was originally the first mate on the ship of his father Teague, but because he also wanted to be the captain, he ran away angrily after many quarrels with his father, and came to the East India Company as a bottom sailor. Start climbing.

This is five years.

Cutler Beckett, a director of the East India Company at that time, felt that this young man was particularly outstanding as a sailor and a navigator, and was worthy of cultivation, so he used his power to promote the young Jack as the captain of his merchant ship 'Bad Girl'.

Jack did live up to Beckett's expectations, delivering the goods perfectly every time.Beckett also became more and more friendly to him, and the relationship between the two could even be called [friends].

Their friendship lasted until Jack discovered that Beckett was secretly engaged in the slave trade, much to the disgust of the freedom-loving Jack.From then on, any task that Jack discovered was related to the slave trade, he would unceremoniously refuse.

After some time, Beckett wanted to find an Aboriginal island in the Atlantic Ocean, seize the rich resources there and practice colonial slavery.But due to the lack of means, he found Jack and initiated a negotiation - 30% of the treasure on the island will be distributed to Jack, and the proceeds of the slave trade will be divided into 10%, as long as Jack helps him to confuse and win a slave from this island. of trust.

The remuneration can be said to be extremely generous, because I know that Jack hates slave trading, so Beckett added one - if you accept the task but do not complete it and do not return, then I will directly judge you as a pirate.

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

Jack took up the task, then went to sea for a few weeks and returned again, claiming that the location revealed by the slave was false, and that the slave had found a chance to escape successfully, and they were all deceived by the slave.

Beckett knew Jack was lying, but he had no proof.

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 you the 'Bad Girl' for a shilling. 】

At that time, a shilling was equivalent to the cost of mooring a boat, and it was a free gift.

Jack really got caught. His biggest dream was to own his own ship, and the Bad Girl was his dream goal.

This time, Jack sailed in the direction where the slaves had been released after a week of sailing. The East India Company agents who had been secretly following Jack quickly approached and boarded the ship to arrest Jack, only to find that the entire ship of slaves was gone, so he had to be held in custody. back to East Africa.

Beckett was furious, took Jack to his ship, left a pirate mark on Jack's right arm with a red-hot iron [P], and then sailed the ship to the sea far from the East India Company port, forcing Jack to watch on the deck The Bad Girl was set on fire, and then sunk to the bottom of the sea by the ship's guns.

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

He was never seen again after that.

Jack did not know how to find the deep-sea Hades David Jones, who was driving the ghost ship [Flying Dutchman], and asked him to revive his ship.

Davy Jones, of course, could see what a fine sailor Jack was, and proposed a deal.He can revive the Bad Girl and give Jack 13 years to be his captain freely, but when the agreed time is up, Jack must return to serve on the Flying Dutchman for 100 years.

Jack's nature is to take one step at a time, the type who doesn't consider the consequences. He can't control what will happen in 13 years, so he naturally agrees.

So, on a stormy night, the raging sea slowly swelled up, and the Bad Girl broke through the sea and returned to the world with a new look.

Because she had been burned by flames and sunk by cannons, the hull was dark black, with ominous black sails hanging from the masts, hunting in the wind and rain.At the same time, Davy Jones also applied magic to the hull, making her the fastest speed in the Caribbean.

Jack has since called the ship the Black Pearl.

Admiring the dark and mysterious black hull of the Black Pearl, Heather touched his chin and fell into contemplation.

It was a good boat, but it wasn't Heather's ultimate goal.

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

Obviously, Commodore Norrington and the Royal Navy under him were caught off guard by the pirates, but because the curse was lifted in time, there were not too many casualties on the naval side.When Jack found Norrington, the latter was planning to teach these pirates a profound lesson. He barely suppressed his anger after hearing Heather's instructions.

At this moment, Barbossa's voice came from behind Heather:
"Sir, where is the next destination?"

"Go to the Intrepid and invite Miss Elizabeth and Mr. Will to the Black Pearl, then notify Norrington and follow us to set sail for Port Royal."

Heather was certain that as long as Elizabeth was on the Black Pearl, Governor Swan and Norrington would not act rashly. Coupled with the Black Pearl's speed in the Caribbean Sea, they were not afraid of them escaping halfway.

Port Royal?Barbossa wanted to say that his group of pirates going to Port Royal was a self-inflicted trap, but considering Heather's elusive and eccentric personality, he wisely kept his mouth shut, and after stroking Heather's chest and saluting, he strode toward Dreadnought. No. go.
