Chapter 212 Sorry, being rich is really amazing
Islands in the Caribbean Sea may not have other infrastructure, but taverns are never missing. This is the most important source of life for sailors traveling on trade routes.
Because he has been busy hiding around and not having time to find treasures recently, Jack and the crew of the Black Pearl are very tight.
After Xin Sheng generously expressed that he was treating him, the crew of the Black Pearl, led by Gibbs, rushed into the tavern cheering and poured cheap rum into his mouth, as if he wanted to die of drunkenness on this small island.
Xin Sheng was not interested in these inferior wines, so he pulled Jack to a relatively secluded corner and handed him a bottle of high-end rum produced in London.
"Suck ~"
After unplugging the bottle, Jack put his nose to the mouth of the bottle and intoxicatedly sucked the sweet and fragrant wine.
“Tons tons~”
Without saying a word, Jack, who was so greedy, looked up and poured half a bottle of fine wine.
"Himmer~"
He burped comfortably, Jack looked at Xin Sheng with some blurred eyes.
"Okay, let's start talking about the serious matter."
"You said you can help me? Do you really know what the threat I am facing now?"
Xin Sheng took a sip of red wine and said meaningfully: "Dutch?"
Jack's eyes flashed, but his face still had a smile on his face.
"Okay, let's just pass."
"The point is, how are you going to help me? What do you want from me?"
Xin Sheng put down his glass: "I don't like too much temptation, let's get to the point."
"You must have heard of Poseidon's trident? That thing is in my hands now."
"Poseidon..."
Jack's face finally changed. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xin Sheng and confirmed: "The legendary artifact can relieve all curses and blessings on the sea?"
"Buzz~"
Xin Sheng took out the trident in front of Jack, waved his body and pointed it at the sea not far away.
A tornado-like column of water rose from the sea, changing directions accordingly as the trident danced.
“It not only lifts curses and blessings, but also gives me the power to manipulate the sea.”
Out of his pirate nature, Jack looked at the silver-shining trident in Xin Sheng's hand with great gaze and swallowed unconsciously.
"You mean, use it to remove David Jones' curse, break his immortality and the Dutchman, and then turn him..."
“Ah~”
Jack made a neck wiping action: "Send it to the sea to feed the fish?"
Xin Sheng smiled without comment: "How? Can you believe me now?"
"My request is also very simple. As you are the pirate lord of the Caribbean, call on pirate lords from all over the world to gather in the Shipwreck Bay to discuss how to deal with Lord Beckett's huge threat to the pirates."
To call a meeting of pirate lords, there must be reasons for them to recognize, and one of the pirate lords needs to be called as the host.
Beckett's threat is a very legitimate reason, which concerns the vital interests of every pirate.
As European countries' exploration of the world is coming to an end, the space for pirates to move is getting smaller and smaller.
If we cannot find a way to dispel the idea of all countries in their full efforts to fight pirates, there will be no more pirates on the sea in the future.
This is a great thing that people of all countries are happy to see.
...Including Xin Sheng.
Jack's mouth twitched: "Pirate Guild?"
"Hiss~"
Jack pulled his beard with a headache: "Xin, it's not that I don't want to help you."
"I think you should have heard of it, too, between me and those pirate lords...well, there are some holidays."
"Ding bell~"
Xin Sheng generously threw a bag of Eight Rial silver coins in front of Jack: "If you mean you owe them money, I can pay it back for you."
Jack looked at the "huge sum" on the table with wide eyes: "... Have you gone to rob Royal Bank of England? Why did you suddenly take action so generously?"
Xin Sheng smiled and shook his head: "You don't have to worry about the origin of the money. This is not the point for pirates, right?"
"I just need your answer, can, or can't?"
“If you can complete my commission…”
Xin Sheng took out a small bag of eight-character gold coins and placed them in front of Jack: "These gold coins are all yours. I may add more rewards based on your task completion."
Although Jack was very envious of the money on the table, he did not reach out.
The overly generous reward made him feel alert: "What do you want to do? I don't believe that you are too much money to spend and spend money everywhere, tell me your true purpose."
Xin Sheng shrugged, pretended to reach out to his clothes on his chest to withdraw money, and took out another bag of Dobron gold coins from the space ring and swayed in front of Jack.
"Sorry, but I really have too much money to use up."
"The wealth I have now is enough to allow me to enjoy life with peace of mind for the rest of my life. The commission I give to you is the last vote I am going to do."
Jack finally became uneasy. He pinched the orchid and pointed at the Dobron gold coin bag in Xin Sheng's hand.
"This bag of Dobron is also rewarded for me?"
"You think beautifully."
With Jack's eyes unchanged, Xin Sheng took back the Dobron gold coins.
"I can guarantee that your mission is definitely worth the money, but don't always worry about things that do not belong to you."
"Oh~ by the way."
Xin Sheng spread his hands and asked Jack, "Compass, you haven't forgotten our transaction, right?"
"Before you call the pirate lords except Barbosa to go to the shipwreck Bay, the compass is temporarily under my control and will be returned to you if necessary."
Jack thought about it for a long time with a tangled expression. Under the temptation of countless rums, he barely remained sober and put forward the last condition.
"If you want me to do something, you must first help me remove the threat of the Dutchman."
"I don't want to be blocked by the octopus monster halfway through the way."
Xin Sheng nodded cheerfully: "No problem, one of my crew members also has something to look for the Dutch, so we can solve it together."
Jack's eyes moved and he turned to look at Will Turner who was drinking alone.
"Then...we're going to agree?"
...
It is not difficult to lure the flying Dutchman, and David Jones has been following Jack and chasing him relentlessly.
When the temporary fleet of Jackdaw, Black Pearl and Queen Anne Revenge docked on the sea surface of the Eastern Caribbean for more than 5 hours, a ragged ghost ship suddenly rushed out strangely under the nearby water.
"Here you come."
Xin Sheng looked at the Dutchman who was launching the artillery and said to Barnabas in a deep voice: "Wave the flag and tell David Jones that Jack is in our hands, and I have a cooperation to talk to him."
The flying Dutchman was cursed many years ago for not fulfilling the duties assigned by the Ocean Goddess.
All crew members, including Captain David Jones, look like they are neither human nor ghost, and have more or less fusion and mutated with creatures in the sea.
The shark-headed mate of the Dutchman put down his telescope and reported loudly to David Jones: "Captain, the ship led by us slogans the flag, saying that there is a cooperation to talk to us."
"Ha! Cooperation?"
Years of inhuman life have gradually wiped out David Jones' human nature. Now he likes to see human sailors wailing and suffering, and his mentality has been severely distorted.
"I, David Jones, the captain of the flying Dutchman, the eternal ghost of the sea, need not talk to anyone about cooperation."
David Jones ordered the hilarious sea monster sailor with a grim smile: "Prepare the artillery, send them to the sea to feed the fish."
