The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 53 6. Blackbeard?Who is that?I'm here to do business with the great Lord Barbossa
The Queen Anne's Revenge has made a name for itself a long time ago.

Even before the previous captain, the brutal pirate Blackbeard who made the entire Caribbean fearful, owned it, the warship, which was then called the "Concorde", was already famous.

Its existence itself is almost a witness and recorder of this pirate era, and after Blackbeard owned the ship and used voodoo to transform and strengthen it, the hull decoration nailed everywhere and voodoo patrolling the deck cabin Zombies became part of its dark lore.

However, Barbosa obviously has his own set of logic for the aesthetics of ships.

Therefore, after he killed Blackbeard and snatched the legendary battleship, he re-"decorated" it according to his own ideas.

Those smelly human bones were discarded, and the giant skeletons of the head portraits were also thrown away and replaced with more solemn goddess statues. The door of the captain's cabin was inlaid with gold and silver, and even the steps to the cabin were covered with copper skin.

In short, one word is revealed, luxury!noble!upper class!
This style is completely in line with the beauty of wealth that pirates pursue and is different from the vulgar and vulgar style, probably because Captain Barbossa once served as the commander of the British Fleet for a short period of time, so this vulgar old man who has been vulgar for most of his life Pirates have also picked up some of the hypocrisy of high society.

However, a voodoo ship will not lose power just because the decoration style is changed.

Unfortunately, Barbossa was not a wizard and never wanted to be, so his control of the Queen Anne's Revenge has remained superficial.

And now, he's going to pay the price for his scorn.

"Ow Oo"

Wherever Zha Kang went, the unexamined living dead voodoo zombies were all controlled and manipulated by him with special secret methods.

Therefore, when the stern-faced Mason arrived at the door of the captain's cabin amidst a group of flattering pirates who wore high-class uniforms but still remained vulgar, there were as many as 12 voodoo corpses following him.

With the fighting power of these undead strengthened by voodoo, once they start killing, it is estimated that today's Revenge will wipe the deck with blood and fresh intestines.

Zha Kang enjoyed it,

He wasn't even content with controlling the voodoo corpse and began to delve into the dark interior of the ship in an attempt to gain ownership of it.

This ship has "life", and it is a living thing in the eyes of the black magician.

"Please ask your follower to stop his spellcasting!"

A deep voice sounded from the captain's cabin, somewhat dissatisfied, and at the same time as he spoke, several thick cables were winding towards Zakone like giant snakes.

Seeing this scene, Constantine immediately and decisively dissipated his magic power.

He whispered to Mason:
"That guy has the voodoo core of this ship, but he doesn't know how to use it. What a waste!"

"shush"

Mason made a silent movement, stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, and then walked into the captain's cabin.

The hatch closed the next moment.

The captain's cabin is not dim. On the contrary, there are two luxurious crystal chandeliers lit with scented candles. In the gentle light, a large round table inlaid with emeralds is filled with fragrant food.

In the middle is a plate of roast suckling pig exuding aroma.

On the small table next to it, there are still whip marks on their faces, but men in musician's clothes are playing melodious accompaniment music, and several men who should not appear on the pirate ship are still wearing lady long dresses, but their arms are full of tattoos The maid lowered her head and opened the chairs for the two guests.

This place is like a luxurious small banquet.

Its biggest problem is that it shouldn't be on a vicious pirate ship.

"Come on, guests who don't know the purpose of coming, let us put aside our possible prejudices and drink a glass of wine of friendship first."

Barbossa sat on the main seat wearing his own captain's hat, and stood up with a greasy smile to welcome the two to take their seats.Mason's eyes fell on Barbossa's face that was no longer young, and he sighed that this guy was almost exactly the same as the image in his memory.

Zackon, on the other hand, stared at the broad-bladed pirate sword on Barbossa's waist.

He could tell at a glance that that thing was the voodoo core of the ship, and whoever held it could control the ship.

"boom"

Old K's voodoo doll was thrown on the table covered with food and fruits, and bounced a few times before falling right in front of Barbossa.

Seeing such a thing, the old pirate's face suddenly wrinkled.

As a guy who once forged a big feud with Blackbeard, he could tell at a glance that this thing was absolutely "genuine", and it might be a voodoo puppet made by that dead Blackbeard himself.

The visitor is not good.

trouble!

Barbossa maintained a false smile on his face, but he had already started to think in his heart, and his fingers were calmly placed on the handle of the saber at his waist.

However, Mason, who had always had a cold face, showed a smile at this moment. He stepped forward and opened the chair, sat opposite Barbossa, and held the knife and fork to cut open the big pirate's eyes. The fragrant roast suckling pig got himself a piece of the most tender meat and chewed it in his mouth, then picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth.

他 说:

"Delicious! You've got a fine cook, and it's an enviable treat in these damn years."

Barbossa stared at the too young wizard in front of him.

He is a pragmatist.

He also has some understanding of supernatural powers that ordinary people can't avoid. After all, he himself has experienced many weird things and even came back from the dead.

Looking at the smile on Mason's face, he laughed and said:
"As long as the guest likes it, I need that chef as a gift."

"Okay, I'm short of a cook."

Mason accepted the gift unceremoniously, and motioned for Zha Kang to sit down and eat.The black magician was not too polite, the two days of eating and sleeping in the open air and the feeling of being unhappy just now made him have a good appetite for this meeting.

Yo, Konstantin's eating style is really unseemly.

"Your Excellency Barbossa, I have come to talk to you about something."

Mason started, and the old pirate sat up straight and said:
"Anyone alive on the whole sea knows that I had a little quarrel with Edward Teach, and he caused me to lose a leg, which is a pity, and I loved my leg.

So I killed him with an eye for an eye.

I think this is a 'normal communication' between pirates and should have nothing to do with wizards. "

"No, I don't want to talk about this."

Mason waved his hand and said:

"You know when Edward Teach made voodoo dolls for other people? If you did, you'd realize that he and I were never really friends.

I'm going to talk to you about another thing.

Sorry for the unseemly way I boarded this ship. "

"Never mind, never mind! All friends of good will are welcome on my ship. Friendship, always comes uninvited, and occasionally breaks in.

I'm used to it. "

Hearing Mason's words, Barbossa immediately beamed with joy, and most of the troubles in his heart disappeared at once.

As long as it's not looking for trouble.

The big pirate has too many headaches now, and an old man like him doesn't have more energy to prevent vendettas. For those in high positions, hatred and vendettas are always a very extravagant behavior.

"I heard that the Pirate Kings are going to gather in Turtle Island to discuss how to resist the Black Death and those endless ghouls that are spreading across the world?"

Mason picked up an orange and pushed it aside, saying:

"I also heard that you convened this meeting?"

"I'm just in charge of delivering the message."

Barbossa smiled, raised a glass of wine with a frank look, drank it with the boldness that a pirate should have, and said freely:

"It's the guardian of the code. Well, Jack's father, that old and lingering old thing wants to use my mouth to summon my colleagues.

Now that the end has come, everyone should hug together to keep warm.

Although that's not a bad thing in my opinion.

Because of the fear of the end, my fleet tripled overnight, and my territory expanded sevenfold in just one month.

Tens of thousands of people live under my rule and I feel like an uncrowned king.

The nasty Royal Navy has already lost itself, running around like wild dogs.

If you don't consider the biting ghouls and the lingering black death, these two months are the most enjoyable time of my life. "

The Great Pirate made no secret of his disdain for Doomsday.

It's not that he doesn't take this matter seriously, but he seems to be like other survivors, intending to have a good time before the last moment.

It is also very in line with the idea of ​​​​pirate style.

"But this is only the last twilight before sunset, Lord Barbossa."

Mason ruthlessly pierced the great pirate's joy and pulled him back to the cold reality.

The young man peeled the orange and said:

"If the Black Death goes unchecked, your ocean kingdom will soon become a scorched land of ghouls. You can continue to rule, but like a king sitting in a garbage dump and a mud pit."

The young man looked at the extremely luxurious captain's cabin. He reached out and touched the huge emerald inlaid on the corner of the table, and said:

"By that time, no amount of wealth will just make your coffin heavier."

Barbossa fell silent.

He looked at Mason with less friendly eyes.

This kind of person who intentionally wakes up a person who is indulging in a beautiful dream is the most abominable, and he should be dropped on the mast and let the seabirds eat it!

"I can save you."

Mason didn't hold back anymore.

He took a piece of the peeled orange and threw it into his mouth, and handed the rest to Zha Kang who was gnawing on the roast suckling pig, whose mouth was full of oil, and who was cooking like revenge.

The young man leaned on the luxurious black velvet armchair, stared at the big pirate and said in a serious and earnest tone:

"I have medicine in my hand that can help you fight against the Black Death and ghouls. Don't show that surprised expression, Your Excellency Barbossa.

I think for a legendary pirate who has been resurrected from the dead, went to the devil prison and returned safely, and even presided over the ceremony of releasing the sealed sea goddess, your expression is a bit indecent.

As you can see, I am an alchemist who can be called a brother and brother with Blackbeard. Isn't it normal to have some special abilities? "

"I do not believe!"

Barbossa let go of his hypocrisy completely.

The old pirate bared his big gold teeth and stared at Mason with a predatory gaze. He said:
"If you really have that drug, you can become the king of the world or the role of the living Christ! Why do you need to go to my ship to discuss these things with me?"

"Because medicine needs to be prepared! And the raw materials I urgently need are in your hands, Barbosa."

Mason knocked on the table, and finally stated the purpose of his trip:

"The 882 cursed Aztec devil gold coins in your hand, I need those death treasures to represent the lingering resentment bestowed upon the fall of an empire, as an introduction for this drug configuration."

"You are trying to blackmail me! No, you are a liar! You are trying to defraud me of the most valuable treasure in my hand!"

Barbossa drew his sword and slammed it on the table.

The musicians who played the music were frightened and ran away, but Zha Kang didn't even raise his head and continued to eat, while Mason continued to maintain a deadpan expression.

他 说:

"You have 882 pieces, and I only need one to make the medicine. You will see its miraculous effect with your own eyes, and then, you will willingly give me the remaining cursed gold with both hands.

You even knelt down and begged me to take the gold.

If I don't take it, you will be bitten off to the last bite of flesh and blood by other people who are eager to survive!
Barbossa!
I'm not begging you now, so don't frighten me with your piracy.

Five days!

I just need five days. "

Mason slowly picked up the tablecloth and wiped the orange juice on his hands. He stood up and said to Barbosa:
"My companions will stay in Turtle Island. Five days later, in the wee hours of the morning, you will see with your own eyes how handsome your investment will be. Does ruling an island with tens of thousands of people make you feel like you have reached the pinnacle of your life?
The poor old pirate is so reserved even in his dreams.

Your daughter is much braver than you, at least she will believe that there are miracles and myths in this world. "

"I don't have a daughter, you idiot!"

Barbossa laughed.

However, in the next moment, he heard Mason say in a long voice:
"The little nun of a Spanish monastery is mistreated and surrenders her innocence and life to a smooth-talking pirate.

Poor Margaret waited for the wrongdoer, but the damned man never came back until she died alone.

Little Serena Smith grew up alone and alone.

Worst of all, she might be hanging out with Jack Sparrow by now.

If I were you, Barbossa, I'd drop everything in Turtle Island immediately to catch Jack and bring her back before he ruins your daughter's life like you ruined Margaret's. "

Barbossa's laughter stopped abruptly like a chicken being strangled, and the old pirate sat back on his chair with a thump as if he had lost his soul.

He looked at Mason in disbelief.

And the young man tugged at the neckline of the gray windbreaker and said to him:

"That diary with the ruby ​​in it that you left to that child ruined her. You thought that ruby ​​was the treasure you left to your lover for the rest of your life, but you rude didn't know that you snatched it from a museum in Italy The diary itself is the precious thing.

I don't want to say any more.

I've just given you a 'gift' to your life, Barbossa.

Now, give me the cursed gold!

The world is crying and begging me to save you, and you idiots are wasting your little time. "

The old pirate gritted his teeth, obviously unwilling to admit defeat.

He roared, and the door of the captain's cabin was pushed open the next moment, and a female pirate who was held by two pirates with knives on her neck was pushed in weakly.

She froze when she saw Mason.

Then, she noticed the unique cat-shaped pendant hanging on Mason's neck. After careful identification, the weak female pirate broke free and threw herself to hide behind Mason.

She said weakly:
"Are you the son of old Mr. K? You don't even look like that!"

"I am his heir, poor Angelina Teach."

Mason did not look at the feeble female pirate, and said to Barbossa:

"I'll take Blackbeard's daughter too! Look at how you've tortured the poor girl, you're an old bastard who isn't a gentleman at all.

So, what to say?
Barbossa, will you give or not? "

The old pirate stood up, suppressed his anger and slashed open the black skull box on top of a pile of dazzling gold at the edge of the captain's cabin, revealing the yellow and orange devil gold coins inside.

He snatched off his wig that was used to hide his thinning hair, threw it on the ground and said with a grinning grin:
"You can take it yourself if you want it, as long as you dare!"

Mason took out the leather gloves he had prepared long ago from his pocket, and took out a gold coin from the box under Barbossa's mocking gaze, and inspected it in front of his eyes.

"Don't you even dare to touch it?"

The old pirate said something provocative again, and the young man curled his lips and said:

"Because I know what it is, I will not choose to touch it. After all, there is a fine line between courage and recklessness. Five days, Barbossa, is enough for you to bring back your daughter and Jack.

Then we'll talk about business again.

It's a business that lets you have it all.

Agree on the reward in advance
I want the Black Pearl and Jack Spyro, and nothing less! "
