Three days pass in a blink of an eye.

On the day when the Jackdaw set off, Elizabeth and Angelica, who were originally incompatible with each other, bid farewell in front of the Governor's Mansion, were standing beside him and scratching their heads in confusion.

‘What happened to these two people? When did they become so sisterly...’

Elizabeth wanted to follow Jackdaw to explore unknown treasures, but unfortunately the conditions did not allow it.

Not to mention that Weatherby would not agree to her going out to sea again, Beckett still maintained a certain degree of surveillance of Elizabeth, hoping to get clues related to Jack Sparrow from her.

However, in Xin Sheng's opinion, instead of staring at Elizabeth who had no contact with Jack, it would be better to focus on Will Turner, who had only met Jack in secret.

In fact, Beckett did the same. There were many eyeliners from East India Company distributed around the blacksmith shop where Will was. As long as there was a little bit of trouble, he would immediately report it to Beckett.

Of course, Xin Sheng, who had direct contact with Will, was also closely watched.

However, because Xin Sheng was secretly ordered by the king and the people from the Duke of Devon on the ship were following him, Beckett did not dare to attack him rashly.

He sent Angelica, who had a lot of worries, to the Jackdaws, and Xin Sheng turned to look at Port Royal City.

Barnabas walked to Xin Sheng and asked, "Captain, there are still 5 minutes left before the reservation time, and the crew is already here. Do we need to set off in advance?"

"Wait a little longer and set off on time."

Xin Sheng supported his hands on the side of the ship, waiting for Will Turner's final decision.

‘For the last 5 minutes, it depends on you whether to leave or stay, Will.’

...

At the Port Royal Blacksmith Store, Will Turner just packed his luggage and was about to go out.

Will has lived in Port Royal for several years and has long been too familiar with his neighbors.

He has long seen the faces that have appeared around him recently, but because the other party did not take any further action, Will was too lazy to pay attention to them.

Just as Will was about to move towards the dock, a strong man with a fierce face suddenly walked out of the shadow and passed by and said a short sentence in Will's ear.

Before Will could react, the man kept moving forward and quickly turned to the corner of the street and disappeared.

If Xin Sheng was here, he could recognize the other party's identity at a glance.

He is Carlet Beckett's personal assistant, Ian Mather.

Will looked at the disappearing corner of Mather with a puzzled look, and for a moment he couldn't tell the other person's intentions.

"Clang~Clang~"

Will's meditation was interrupted by the bell from the dock, which meant that a ship was about to leave the port.

"Not good! I can't catch up with the time!"

With a pair of long legs, Will ran all the way through the very deserted Port Royal Street, and finally arrived at the dock before the Jackdaws started to anchor.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

When Xin Sheng saw Will coming from Mercedes-Benz, he sighed in a complicated mood and called the sailor who was packing the boarding board.

"Let him get on the ship."

"Huh~"

Will rushed onto the Jackdaw at the last moment, and the explosive full-speed sprint made him breathe heavily as he stepped onto the deck.

"Are you thinking it through? Wouldn't you regret it?"

Will said firmly after breathing well, "Don't regret it. Whether he had something to hide from me or not, William Turner is always my biological father. I must find him and bring him back."

Xin Sheng nodded without comment: "Be mentally prepared, the journey of pursuing the truth will not be so easy. Before setting out to find your father, I have a task that I cannot escape from must be completed first."

"Also, I don't have idle people on my boat. If I want to get food and water, I have to trade it through labor. Can you do it?"

Will smiled confidently: "No problem, I am still confident in my physical strength."

On the rebuilt fortress wall, Beckett watched the Jackdaw set sail with his hands on his back. Ian Mather had returned to Beckett and reported on his work progress.

"well done."

Becket slowly walked down the wall, and said with a confident smile on his face: "Soon will soon know how important Miss Swan has in Mr. Turner's mind."

...

After some rest, the sailors of Jackdaw and Hawk were fully rested, and they pulled the cables in full swing.

I don't know if I'm afraid of Beckett's existence, Barbosa has been more honest these days and spends most of his time drinking and having fun with the sailors, without causing any trouble.

When Xin Sheng and Angelica were visiting the Governor's Mansion, "Jefferson" who was staying on the ship received bad news through special channels.

"As soon as we set out from London, the Spanish spies learned about His Majesty's intention to find the Fountain of Age."

Williams, who has always been old-fashioned, frowned and pointed at the chart and said, "According to the latest news collected by the Royal Navy in the Caribbean, the Spanish fleet departing from the Port of Cadiz has approached the Bahamas, and we must hurry up and act."

Xin Sheng rubbed his chin and asked, "How many ships do the Spanish fleet have?"

"The five ships are all light high-speed battleships suitable for trans-ocean operations, with an estimated number of sailors of about 300."

Xin Sheng nodded thoughtfully: "The New World and the Caribbean are Spain's home courts, and we must try our best to avoid fighting head-on with them."

In order to avoid causing Spain's overreaction, William III did not use the main force of the Royal Navy, but instead recruited privateers and pirates like Barbosa and Xin Sheng to lead the team.

As it turns out, William III's restrained approach received a tacit response from Carlos II.

Spain only sent five light warships to follow, which shows their attitude.

Carlos II did not want to have too much conflict with Britain in the New World Colony, as this would only make the Netherlands and France, who were waiting to watch the show, get a bargain.

"The Spanish fleet has just experienced trans-ocean sailing, and the morale and condition of the sailors will definitely be very poor, which is our advantage."

Xin Sheng said confidently: "And, it's not me that there are no high-speed warships faster than Jackdaw in this era."

‘After all, we don’t even need fresh water to reserve, which reduces a lot of unnecessary loads.’

Only the core crew of the Jackdaw knew about Xin Sheng holding a sea water purifier, and even Angelica knew nothing about it.

"In terms of speed, the Jackdaw hasn't been afraid of anyone."

Walking out of the captain's room, Xin Sheng whispered to Barnabas, who was at the helm: "Go ahead at full speed! We will arrive at White Hat Bay before the Spaniards!"

"Notify the Falcon Eagle in flag language and follow the route planned in advance. We have to take the lead!"

"Aye! Captain!"

...

The Jackdaw, which entered the full-speed navigation state, gradually distanced himself from the Falcon Eagle.

Starting from Port Royal, bypassing Cuba Island into Florida and reaching the Strait, the Jackdaw quickly followed the guidance of the Universe Map to the near White Hat Bay in western Florida.

North America in this era was still a wilderness, and the beacon of democracy and freedom was far from established.

All we see along the Florida Peninsula are undeveloped primitive scenery, and there are almost no traces of human existence.

More than 100 years ago, the legendary pirate Francis Drake once robbed and burned St. Augustineburg, which was founded by the Spanish in Florida.

Since then, Florida's pioneering process has almost stagnated.

There are too many places worth developing in the vast American continent. Spain can only concentrate manpower and give priority to developing the most valuable areas. Florida seems not to be included.

When he was about to enter the waters where White Hat Bay was located, Xin Sheng ordered the Jackdaw to stop advancing and found a suitable stop on the southwest coast of the wild peninsula.

"Just come here."

Through the vision of Daedalus, who was flying first, Xin Sheng had already seen the towering lighthouse on the shore of White Hat Bay.

"Captain Jefferson, take your people with me."

"Barnabas, you and Herodotus stayed on the boat, Kegan and Will, bring 15 sailors to the shore with me."

"Angelica..."

Before Xin Sheng could make arrangements, Angelica, who had been silent recently, said first: "I want to go too!"

Xin Sheng's words were stuck in his throat, and he saw the unshakable determination in Angelica's eyes.

‘Oh ~’

"Okay, Angelica keeps up."
