Chapter 699 Wish Compass
the next day.

Although the state of martial law has not been lifted in St. Maarten, the lives of the citizens remain as usual.

After Henry escaped from the rescue center, he found an unnamed island to hide.

St. Maarten is an archipelago, of which St. Maarten is the main island. Around St. Maarten, there are many scattered, uninhabited and developed small islands.

Xufeng and Jack are on another unnamed island.

It is impossible for the guards of St. Maarten to thoroughly investigate all the islands in a short period of time.

After dawn, Tie Hammer took Yang Gong who was still awake to investigate the suitable place to build a shipyard, and Xu Feng also went to St. Martin City alone to investigate the situation.

After all, the blood moon is coming soon, and the final boss Salazar will soon be unsealed, Xufeng and the others must hurry up and prepare.

Jack, as usual, slept until noon.

Xufeng left food and wine for Jack, enough for him to be so chic for a whole month.

The first thing Jack does when he wakes up is to grab a bottle of rum and take a few swigs to sober himself up.

He was alone, and Xu Feng and the others hadn't come back after drinking till evening.

Jack suddenly felt that even the rum was tasteless.

He took out the drift bottle in his arms, and placed the drift bottle on the side of the boat, facing the sea.

From a certain angle, the Black Pearl in the drifting bottle keeps a parallel line with the sea surface, as if the Black Pearl is really sailing on the sea.

A long-lost smile appeared on Jack's face, but it soon dimmed.

How long had it been since he had sailed to his heart's content?

ten years?

No, I'm afraid 20 years.

The Black Pearl was his life, and after the Black Pearl was sealed, he also lost himself on land, relying on alcohol to numb himself every day.

His ideals, his ambitions, are all about to be annihilated.

He opened his wish compass, and the pointer of the wish compass clearly pointed to the sea.

He wants to sail, he wants to ride the wind and waves, he doesn't want to go on in this muddle anymore.

Jack suddenly raised the rum bottle, trying to smash it into pieces, but in the end he slowly put it to his mouth and drank all the rum in the bottle.

After all, rum is about the innocence, the guilt, the downtrodden self.

After Jack finished drinking the rum, he put the drift bottle and the wish compass into his arms, staggered off the "Dying Seagull", climbed into a small boat, and rowed towards St. Maarten.

He had just robbed the bank of St. Maarten, and it was very dangerous to enter St. Maarten at this time.

However, he did not go to the city center, but took advantage of the cover of night to go to a shop with closed doors and lights on.

This store is a typical black market store, accepting all illegal goods, no matter what it is, can be sold here.

Jack knocked on the door, and a deep question came from inside: "What are you selling?"

"A treasure." Jack said vaguely.

After waiting for a while, the tightly closed room opened with a creak, and a skinny man with an indifferent face opened the door, tilting his head to signal Jack to come in.

"The great Captain Jack Sparrow has been reduced to selling things here." After closing the door, the black market shopkeeper said with a crooked smile.

Jack shrugged, "Who says I have to sell? Unless you give me a good price."

The black market shopkeeper sneered, "It depends on what you want to sell. If what you are selling is a fake treasure map, then you don't need to show it."

Jack grinned. "Of course not. What I'm selling is...this."

As he spoke, he took out the drift bottle from his pocket.

The black market shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately, and he greedily reached out to grab the drift bottle.

Jack immediately took it back, "Sorry, I took it by mistake. It's not this. This is my lifeblood. Even if I kill me, I won't sell it."

The black market shopkeeper sneered, "It's just a broken bottle, and the Black Pearl inside is just a model. Even if you want to sell it, I can only give you the price of the bottle and the model—one gold coin, no more."

Jack was a little annoyed.

That was the Black Pearl that shook the Seven Seas!
A super fast ship that can handle even the Flying Dutchman!
Isn't it even worth a gold coin?

Jack suppressed the anger in his heart, put the drift bottle back, and took out the wish compass.

The black market shopkeeper's eyes lit up again, "...a broken compass? Well, a gold coin, it's because you are Captain Jack."

Captain Jack clenched his fists, "It seems that we have nothing to talk about."

The black market shopkeeper quickly said: "Slow down! Jack, if you really want to sell it, then let's make a price."

Jack said without hesitation: "This is the wish compass, the compass given to me by Cole Busso, the goddess of the ocean. This compass can help me find what I want... In my heart, it is a priceless treasure."

The black market merchant sneered, "Priceless treasure, why do you want to sell it?"

The muscles on Jack's face twitched slightly, "Because... Even if I know what my wish is, I can't realize it. In contrast, my friend needs financial help more."

Xufeng wants to build a big steel ship!
Xufeng needs a lot of money!

Anyway, I am already so down and out, wishing that the compass stays by my side, there is no room for it to be used, why not help Xufeng and the others exchange some money, and solve their urgent needs!
The black market merchant asked, "So, how much do you plan to ask for?"

Jack thought for a while, "300 million gold coins."

The black market merchant was startled for a moment, then he sneered and said, "300 million? Did you lose your head from drinking? In my opinion, this thing is not even worth [-] gold coins."

"Just 300 million." Jack said firmly.

How much is the wish compass worth?

Theoretically speaking, this kind of props with divine power and magic is really priceless.

As long as the mind is connected, the wish compass can lead the owner to find the location of the wish. In other words, as long as it is used properly, it is basically equivalent to opening the mode of picking up money and treasures.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the owner would never sell the wish compass. The wish compass is the only one, and it is indeed a priceless treasure.

Jack asked for 300 million gold coins, not much at all.

After all, there are a lot of gold coins in this world, but there is only one wish compass.

The reason why Jack asked for 300 million gold coins was only to help Xufeng.

After all, his trust in Xufeng has reached 70%. Xufeng's difficulties are his difficulties. Xufeng has helped him so many times. Now he would rather sell his beloved wish compass than help Xufeng. maple.

The black market merchant shook his head, "The price is ridiculously high, I can't accept it."

Jack said coldly: "Okay then, goodbye."

With that said, Jack put away his wish compass and prepared to leave the black market.
