The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 61 13. Hope is very expensive, how much you can get depends on sincerity

Early the next morning, Mason waited on the pier for the return of the Queen Anne's Revenge.

The kiteman, who made several laps in the air, glided down with his big kite lightly and accurately, and landed beside Mason like a gray vulture.

He reached out his hand and clicked on the golden button on his chest, and the big kite on his back was recovered into the flight backpack with the sound of machinery, and as Charles approached, some parts of the special aviation alloy suit on his body also emitted There was a slight crash.

This suit is the most special.

Its outer layer is made of metal and the inner lining is made of Hagrid's moleskin coat, which not only ensures complete bulletproofness, but also enhances the comfort, which is enough to ensure that the kiteman will not feel it at a height of thousands of meters. cold.

Because it is made of metal, it looks angular and very heavy and full of oppression, but in fact, the special alloy ensures defense and makes it not as heavy as it looks.

"Boss, this new suit is really good!"

Charles whistled, unfolded his V-shaped visor, and said to Mason:
"As expected of Batman's exclusive drawing, it is much better than the suit made by my small workshop. Also, boss, this is the record of the conversation between Selena and Constantine in the past four days.

I secretly wrote it down.

John has been courting Selena, but Selena trusts you, she seems to really treat you like a little brother. "

Charles handed over a small black notebook.

But Mason didn't take it, but frowned and said:
"I didn't ask you to do this, Charles, it's not good."

"But John obviously has a mind of his own."

The kiteman said seriously:

"He is not Catwoman, Selena has been defending you, maybe because you have saved her and Batman, Selena doesn't think you are a threatening person.

She herself also enjoys this kind of journey in another world.

I had a great time with Her Majesty Catwoman on the way to Port-au-Prince, and even caught a zombie octopus with my own hands. But Constantine, he kept complaining.

It's as if it's a habit of his life to complain and hate everything he sees.

If it's in the clown gang."

"That's the problem, K-Squad is not the Clown Gang."

Mason shook his head and said:
"I trust my team members, just like I trust you, Charles, you don't have to do this in the future. Speaking of which, did Zha Kang make trouble?"

The kiteman curled his lips and replied:

"He didn't do anything inappropriate during the four days you left. Apart from studying the gold coin and Blackbeard's voodoo book, he has been wandering in the taverns on Turtle Island. In just four days, he hooked up with several down-and-out guys. lady.

All ages from 17 to 37 and nearly beaten to death by a drunken and jealous husband.

If Catwoman and I hadn't just returned from the voyage that night, I'm afraid his trip to another world would have come to an end because of having an affair.

But what to say, boss.

I don't think John is actually as resistant to our expedition as he appears to be, I think his resistance to K-team is more due to the curse on us and his suspicion of the Stellaris. "

"You summed it up well, I see."

Mason nodded.

The two chatted on the pier for a few more minutes, and the Queen Anne's Revenge at sea was getting closer and closer. Behind the oppressive legendary pirate ship was a black ship that looked dilapidated.

"It was Barbossa the Black Pearl who caught him!"

A voice sounded from behind Mason, and the female pirate Angelina, who had been "trained" by Ms. Selena for a few days, also appeared at the pier.

Different from the previous pirate outfit, this time she was wearing a long skirt, with her hair draped over her shoulders, and a South American-style cheek with a charming smile that looked like Catwoman.

The original wild feeling suddenly weakened a lot.

Instead, it is a kind of graceful, like a young girl who is not familiar with the world.

"What did Selena teach you?"

Mason looked up and down at this greatly changed female pirate, he said:

"What did you learn from her?"

"Ms. Selena has profound life wisdom. She made me understand that beauty is also a woman's weapon, and it is a more powerful weapon than battleships and artillery."

The female pirate flicked her hair.

Although the movements are still a little rusty, it does have a bit of a "female sea queen".

"If possible, I am willing to follow Ms. Selena for a long time. Of course, this will be after I have dealt with some of my personal grievances."

She looked at Mason, bowed her head respectfully and said:

"Miss Catwoman told me about the K team, Your Excellency Captain, in the case of the doomsday in my hometown, I really hope to get a way out."

"But K-team isn't what everyone wants, ma'am."

Mason looked at her, threw Jack Spyro's voodoo doll to her, and said:
"To convince Jack to leave with us willingly, you have completed your 'entry assessment', and you can have a new life in another relatively safer world."

"What do you want Jack to do for you?"

Angelina grabbed the voodoo doll in her hand and asked in surprise and worry.

Mason didn't hide anything, and said directly:
"Squad K needs professional intelligence personnel, and Jack's extraordinary communication skills and his lethality against women and his strange but always useful commanding ability are all urgently needed."

"He won't give up his crew!"

Pirate said:

"Although that guy keeps saying that he is a ruthless pirate, there is no guy who is gentler than him in this sea. Can the K team accept so many people?"

"Although I call my organization a 'squad', I imagine that there may be a very comprehensive army, and everything must be done.

And I like professional people doing professional things. "

Your Excellency the captain rubbed his chin and said:
"I'm not stingy about giving someone with a skill a job and a hope of escaping the apocalypse."

"Yes, my bar needs a lot of professional security personnel if I want to keep it open for a long time in the 'plain and simple' Gotham City. Pirates who lick blood at the knife point sound very suitable."

The kite man also crossed his hips, put on a capitalist face and said:

"I can't keep hiring people from the minion union, the agency fee is too expensive."

"With your promise, I can give it a try."

The female pirate put her hands on her shoulders and made a gesture of "loyalty" to Mason. She said:

"But I have a request. I want Jack Spyro to be my 'personal item', maybe your flamboyant but powerful mr. wizard can help me.

I can already confirm that Mr. Constantine is a much more powerful wizard than my father. "

"I don't care about that, you can go find Zhakang yourself."

Mason pouted and said:
"But remember, there's a reason we call him 'Jackon', don't put yourself in it, girl, this is my advice to you."

After another ten minutes, Barbosa's boat finally dropped anchor.

A small boat was dispatched to pick up the three of Mason on board. It was still the luxurious captain's cabin last time, and it was still the greasy but imposing pirate Barbossa.

But this time in the captain's cabin without the ostentatious music and lavish meals.

Instead, there was a man who was tied up with a rope and was still chattering, and a beautiful, young and bookish young girl in a blue dress.

About fifteen or sixteen years old, he was standing beside Barbossa nervously.

"Mr. Mason, I'm glad to see you come as promised."

Barbossa looked tired after days of travel.

After all, he is an old man who is no longer young, so he didn't make false claims, but pointed directly at the tied man and said:

"I brought you the Jack Spyro you wanted, and the Black Pearl! What about the things I want?"

"Hey man, I don't know what Barbossa promised you, but take my word for it, don't make a deal with this old fox!"

Jack Spyro, who was tied up, was very embarrassed. He yelled at Mason:
"This is a liar! I have known him for more than 20 years, but I only found out two days ago that this bastard actually has a beautiful daughter!
If I knew this earlier, how could I help this little cutie? "

"Jack! Shut up!"

Angelina Teach, who was following Mason, scolded in a low voice, and Captain Jack's eyes fell on this very gentle and graceful girl.

He blinked and said:

"Eh? Do we know each other? Pretty lady? Are you Mary from Jamaica? Or Judy from San Pedro?"

"hehe"

The female pirate sneered and was not angry, but took out the voodoo doll that stunned Captain Jack, who immediately jumped up and cursed:

"Angelina! I knew it! You are as terrible a person as your crazy father. Didn't I leave you on an isolated island and wait for you to be taken away by God?"

"Shut him up!"

Barbossa was annoyed.

With a wave of his hand, two pirates came forward and sealed Captain Jack's mouth with a rope, but even though his mouth was sealed, the guy was still winking.

This guy's sense of presence is really incredible, it seems that he is born with an aura that can attract attention.

"Meow~"

Mason took out the shrunken voodoo birdcage from the multi-functional belt around his waist, and when he saw clearly what was lying in the birdcage, everyone in the captain's cabin pulled out their weapons in an instant.

Barbossa even roared:
"Are you going to kill me with this damned ghoul? Mason, you probably should have done it the last time! Thanks to your wizard friend's 'performance', I also found my wizard !
You can't hurt me on my boat! "

"Calm down, Barbossa, I don't need Miss McGonagall to kill you."

Mason glanced at the big pirate, and took out a blue crystal test tube and a special syringe from his belt. He put the test tube containing the zombie vaccine into it, lifted it up, and said to everyone:
"This is the medicine I brought! I call it 'Hope', and one injection will keep you from worrying about the Black Death and ghouls for two months.

But I know you brutish and realistic guys only believe what you see, so I need a 'warrior' right now to volunteer to test the drug. "

In the quiet captain's room, the female pirate Angelina stared at the blue potion in Mason's hand. The technological sense of the thing made it seem out of place with all the surrounding decorations.

The female pirate did not hesitate long.

"I come!"

She glanced at Jack Spyro, who was also silent, and stood up, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her tattooed arm.

"You are already Mason's, Blackbeard's daughter, I can't trust you!"

Barbosa also stared at the seemingly powerful drug in Mason's hand with a half-doubtful, three-point longing look. He drank Angelina and planned to let his subordinates try it.

But before the old pirate could speak, the young girl in the blue dress beside him took a step forward.

She was visibly frightened, but she mustered up the courage to say:
"Here I come! My teacher who taught me astronomy and natural history told me that there is no cure for the Black Death in this world. She said that it is not an ordinary disease at all but something more terrible.

As you can see sir, I am an academic.

Despite being called a 'witch' by those ignorant, I do believe in the power of science.If the medicine in your hand can save the world, then I am willing to be a test subject! "

"Serena! Come back!"

Seeing that his daughter, whom he had managed to get back from that bastard Jack, was going to take the initiative to test the drug, Barbosa, who had been prestige all his life, couldn't sit still.

He used to be crazy, cunning, and cruel because he had nothing to worry about, but now that he suddenly has a daughter, he seems to have turned back into a normal dad.

He jumped up from the captain's chair on his wooden legs and pulled his daughter back.

But there is clearly a dire divide between the father and daughter.

Serena Smith shoved Barbossa away and stared at him in disgust, like something dirty.

"We have the best test subjects, Mason!"

The old pirate pretended not to see his daughter's disgusting gaze, he sneered and protected his daughter who hated him behind him, pointing to the tied up Jack Spyro and said:
"Didn't I leave him alive for this moment? Don't waste time, hurry up! Show me your promise, wizard, and I hope you understand the price of deceiving a great pirate."

"You're going to apologize to me in a moment for your outrageous slander, Barbossa."

Mason glanced at the old pirate, and gestured to the majestic kite man beside him who was wearing a full battle suit and pulled down the black visor shaped into a V shape.

Charles immediately stepped forward and dragged the struggling Captain Jack over.

While everyone was watching, Mason held Captain Jack's arm and gave him an injection.

After a few minutes of observation to confirm that there was no allergic reaction, Mason brought Miss McGonagall in the birdcage close to Jack who was struggling frantically and whining.

Accompanied by a shrill neigh, the sharp black cat's claws quickly cut a bloodstain on Jack's arm.

The old pirate Barbossa even made the sign of the cross on his chest.

There seems to be a moment of silence for the ending of "Old Friends".

Mason pulled out Hagrid's hunting knife and cut the rope on Captain Jack's body. The guy started screaming and wailing when he was free, rolling around on the ground holding his scratched arm.

The female pirate Angelina rushed to embrace him, and Jack also hugged his lover.

He was miserable as if returning to the light, sobbing and saying:
"I'm sorry, Angelina, I know I hurt you deeply, but I left you on the isolated island in the hope that you would not be affected by my cursed fate again.

I really didn't expect that Captain Jack, who crossed the world, would end my life in such a way, but I am very glad that you can accompany me in the last moments of my life."

"Can you get your hands out of my clothes?"

The female pirate was a little moved at first.

But soon she discovered the truth. She stared at Captain Jack, who had no signs of weakness in his arms and was still trying to steal his voodoo doll, cursed and punched him in the eye.

And Barbosa and others have already clenched their fists.

Jack is not infected!
He didn't turn into a ghoul!

Mason's medicine works!

My God, Gods and Buddhas of the heavens are above!This damn world really seems to be saved.

"Ah, my best friend Mason, I apologize for my stupid suspicion of you just now! If you need it, I will give anything to get your forgiveness for me, the blind old immortal."

With a smile on his face, Barbosa kicked away Jack who was covering his eyes and screaming, and stepped forward to hold Mason's hands. At this time, the big pirate's eyes were full of undisguised desire and joy.

He said to the calm Mason:

"Jack is yours now, and the Black Pearl is yours too, take that box of devil gold coins away, and even my treasures can all be yours.

I just have one request.

Ten thousand!

I want ten thousand 'hopes'."

"Be bold, my friend, and I can give you fifty thousand! Even a hundred thousand."

Mason snapped his fingers.

He smiled, and said to Barbossa, whose eyes grew brighter:

"Next, let's talk about specific cooperation plans."
