A foreigner's journey

Barbossa concluded that the Black Pearl could not be considered a weapon.

The Black Pearl has special meaning to both Barbossa and Jack. Jack regards the Black Pearl as his spiritual sustenance and destination, while Barbossa regards her as his most beloved home.

As pirates, they can go ashore to look for flowers and flowers, and they can go and live freely, for a day, two days or even half a year. But for them, their final destination and home will always be the Black Pearl.

Heather didn't say much, just watched as the pirates and navy worked together to evacuate the entire grotto treasure room, and the Aztec stone box was moved to the captain's cabin of the Black Pearl.

After witnessing the terrible curse on the pirates, no navy would steal the skeleton gold coins from the stone box without opening their eyes. And those pirates had just returned to their normal bodies, and they would hide as far away from the gold coins as possible.

Standing at the ferry, Heather admired the full view of the Black Pearl under the moonlight.

This three-masted sailing ship is about one hundred and sixty-five feet long. It is equipped with fourteen cannons on the top deck and eighteen cannons in the cabin. Both the hull and the sails are strangely black, and the bow looks like a classic buttress. Dove angel.

The predecessor of the Black Pearl was an armed merchant ship named The Wicked Wench. Seventeen years ago, the young and energetic Jack Sparrow was originally the first mate on his father Teague's ship. However, because he also wanted to be the captain, he angrily ran away after many quarrels with his father and came to work for the East India Company from the bottom. The sailor began to climb.

This lasted five years.

At that time, Cutler Beckett, a member of the board of directors of the East India Company, felt that this young man was particularly outstanding as a sailor and navigator and worthy of cultivation, so he used his power to promote young Jack to the captain of his merchant ship "Bad Girl".

Jack did live up to Beckett's expectations and was able to deliver the goods perfectly to the location every time. Beckett is becoming more and more friendly to him, and the relationship between the two can even be said to be "friends".

Their friendship lasted until Jack discovered that Beckett was engaged in slave trading in private, which made Jack, who advocated freedom, extremely disgusted. From then on, any task that Jack discovered was related to the slave trade, he would unceremoniously refuse.

After a while, Beckett wanted to find an indigenous island in the Atlantic Ocean, seize the rich resources there, and implement colonial slavery. But he had no means, so he found Jack and initiated negotiations - 30% of the island's treasure would be given to Jack, and another 10% of the proceeds from the slave trade, as long as Jack helped him confuse and win a slave from this island. Just trust it.

The reward can be said to be extremely generous, because he knows that Jack hates the slave trade, so Beckett added one more - if you accept the mission but do not complete it and do not return, then I will directly judge you as a pirate.

At that time, the East India Company was a global giant with great power and its own armed army. Most of the company's directors had the power to mobilize the Royal Navy and impose penalties, so what Beckett said was not alarmist.

Jack accepted the mission, then went to sea for a few weeks and returned again, claiming that the location disclosed by the slave was false, and that the slave found an opportunity to escape successfully, and they were all deceived by the slave.

Beckett knew Jack was lying, but he had no proof.

He secretly hated Jack for ruining his business, so he asked Jack to transport a whole ship of slaves and offered an attractive price that Jack could not refuse.

[This is the last task. As long as you can complete it, I will sell you the 'Bad Girl' for one shilling. 】

At that time, one shilling was equivalent to the cost of mooring a ship, which was, to put it bluntly, free of charge.

As expected, Jack was fooled. His biggest dream is to own his own ship, and the Bad Girl is exactly what he dreamed of.

This time, a week after Jack went to sea, he sailed in the direction where he originally released the slaves. The East India Company agents who had been secretly tracking Jack quickly approached and boarded the ship to arrest Jack. However, they found that the entire ship of slaves was missing, so they had to take him into custody. Back to East Africa.

Beckett was furious and took Jack aboard his ship. He used a red-hot iron to leave the pirate mark [P] on Jack's right arm. Then he sailed the ship to waters far away from the East India Company's port and forced Jack to watch from the deck. The Bad Girl was set on fire, then completely destroyed by the warship's artillery and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Seeing the first ship in his life being destroyed one by one, Jack suddenly broke free, jumped into the sea and swam to the Bad Girl.

He was never seen again after that.

Jack somehow found David Jones, the king of hell in the deep sea, who was driving the ghost ship "The Flying Dutchman", and asked him to resurrect his ship.

Davy Jones naturally could see what an excellent sailor Jack was, so he proposed a deal. He can resurrect the Bad Girl and give Jack thirteen years of freedom to be his captain, but once the agreed time is up, Jack must return to the Flying Dutchman and serve for a hundred years.

Jack's nature is to take it one step at a time without considering the consequences. He doesn't care what will happen in thirteen years, so he naturally agrees.

So, on a stormy night, the raging sea slowly rose, and the Bad Girl broke through the sea and returned to the world with a brand new appearance.

Because she had been burned by fire and sunk by cannon, her entire hull was dark black, and her masts were hung with ominous black sails that rustled in the wind and rain. At the same time, Davy Jones also added magic to the hull, giving her the fastest speed in the Caribbean.

From then on, Jack called the ship the "Black Pearl".

Admiring the strange and mysterious black hull of the Black Pearl, Heather rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought.

It was a nice ship, but it wasn't Heather's ultimate goal.

Thinking of this, Heather turned to look at Jack, who was negotiating with Brigadier General Norrington.

Obviously, Commodore Norrington and the Royal Navy under him were caught off guard by the pirates, but because the curse was lifted in time, there were not many casualties in the navy. When Jack found Norinton, the latter was about to teach these pirates a profound lesson, but he barely suppressed his anger after hearing that it was Heather's order.

At this time, Barbossa's voice came from behind Heather:

"Sir, where is your next destination?"

"Go to the Intrepid and invite Miss Elizabeth and Mr. Will to the Black Pearl, and then notify Norrington to follow us and set sail towards Port Royal."

Heather was sure that as long as Elizabeth was on board the Black Pearl, Governor Swann and Norrington would not act rashly. In addition, the Black Pearl's sailing speed was the best in the Caribbean, so they were not afraid of them escaping midway.

Port Royal? Barbossa wanted to say that if a group of pirates like him went to Port Royal, they would be trapped in a trap, but considering Heather's unpredictable and weird character, he still wisely kept his mouth shut, caressed Heather's chest and saluted, then strode towards Fearless No. and walked away.
