The two twin sisters Cecilia Enieko and Christina Enieko were standing behind Anne in tight sailor costumes. They were young and beautiful, with identical looks and slightly green bodies. They stood gracefully, with their dark red hair blowing in the sea breeze. Coupled with their current status as witches, they looked like a ghostly and breathtaking beauty!
The two twin sisters, who are only fifteen years old, were assigned by Charlotte this time to follow the witch's master Anne on an adventure at sea, and were responsible for taking care of their master's daily life.
On the deck below, the sailors who were carrying supplies on the Intrepid could not help but swallow their saliva when they saw the two stunning twin girls standing by the helm of the bridge. If it weren't for their terrifying witches Given his status, I'm afraid that some people have long been tempted to approach him to strike up a conversation or flirt with him, right?
"Everyone, move quickly."
Norrington stood by the guardrail of the Intrepid and urged the sailors who were carrying supplies.
Commodore James Norrington is still the captain of the Intrepid this time, while Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa, two returned pirate leaders, serve as first mate and navigator respectively.
The original gunners of the Dauntless continued to perform their duties, while some of the other handymen and less important sailors were non-naval members specially recruited by Charlotte from the port.
These are some of Charlotte's precautions. Although she also knows that their little master Anne is very powerful, she just doesn't trust that the ship is full of original navy members, so necessary precautions are still needed.
In order to meet the comfort requirements, the Intrepid was not fully staffed this time. In addition to the necessary sailor-gunners, many musketeers and hand-to-hand combat members were omitted.
Starting from the morning when little Annie decided to go out to sea for adventure, the following chores such as recruiting sailors, assigning work, transporting supplies and other chores took almost more than half a day. By the time everything was ready, it was already dusk.
After Anne happily waved goodbye to Charlotte on the dock bridge, she stood on the main seat of the bridge like a little adult and began to give orders to Norrington.
"Hurry! Dauntless sets sail! Full speed ahead!"
Anne pointed in the direction of the port out to sea, which seemed a little empty due to the witch, and shouted loudly.
After hearing the order, Norrington stood expressionlessly at the helm of the ship and shouted to the sailors on the deck below: "Sail! Put in the anchor, full right rudder! Get ready to go to sea!"
This is the age of sailing wooden ships. The ship cannot be sailed casually. It requires the cooperation of each sailor to lower the sails, turn and slowly move the ship outside the port, and then slowly accelerate with the help of the wind. .
"Sail!"
The boatswain on the deck below heard this, and the sailors quickly lowered the three main masts and the white sails on the auxiliary masts at the bow and stern of the ship one by one. Under the breeze, the sails began to slowly swell.
"Put away the anchor!"
After receiving the order, a group of sailors pushed hard on the winch near the ship's bow on the deck. As the winch slowly rotated, the thick anchor chain was slowly retracted one by one.
This Dauntless is a first-class battleship with three main masts, four gun battle decks including the uppermost deck, and more than 100 cannons. The displacement is close to 800 tons! It is also one of the best battleships in the entire Caribbean. It is the most powerful British Royal Navy warship in the Atlantic and is also a replica of the "Victory".
"Full right rudder!"
"Full right rudder!" After hearing the order, the helmsman repeated it, then turned the rudder directly to the right, and the huge Dauntless began to turn slowly and headed towards the seaport.
"Isn't this too slow? It's like a turtle crawling!"
After seeing the Dauntless finally start to move, little Annie's excitement immediately cooled down.
Because, she saw that the speed of this ship was too slow, too slow, and ridiculously slow!
Anne estimated that its speed was not as fast as that of the two twins who had just learned the levitation technique with their magic bracelets, right? This kind of slow speed is completely different from the feeling of the yacht in the villa dock when Annie was in New York. It seemed to be flying from the sea like lightning when it started!
"Dear Witch Anne, maybe we can take my Black Pearl instead? It's the fastest ship in the Caribbean! If we switch now, maybe it's still too late?"
When Jack Sparrow heard Annie complaining that the Dauntless was too slow, he immediately flattered her.
Originally, he strongly recommended the Black Pearl, but unfortunately, Anne didn't like that ugly black ship, so he settled for the next best thing and asked himself to pilot the Black Pearl to follow the Dauntless. However, he was replaced by Charlotte. The chief witch refused harshly.
After a period of entanglement, Charlotte reluctantly told him that Sparrow could not serve as the captain of the Black Pearl again until she returned from this voyage with Master Anne.
"That's my Black Pearl!"
Hector Barbossa on the side heard Sparrow's words and began to stare at this old enemy with evil eyes.
"Oh? Really? But Miss Charlotte Witch has said that after returning from this voyage, the Black Pearl will be mine!"
Jack Sparrow proudly sneered at Barbossa: "And you! You are still a prisoner now! A prisoner!"
He specifically reiterated the word prisoner. The other party's status was much lower than Sparrow's. On his hand, the other party still had the same flame brand as Norrington. This was the mark of a prisoner.
"Shut up you two pirates!"
Norrington shouted impatiently at the two of them.
He hasn't left the port yet, and the journey is still long. He doesn't want to listen to these two damn pirates arguing back and forth on his Dauntless all day long. If he hadn't been able to make the decision, he would have killed them both. It was tied to a cannon and sank into the sea.
"Well, you're the captain, you have the final say!"
After Jack Sparrow and Barbossa looked at each other, they snorted at each other, separated from both sides of the rudder, left the bridge and walked below the deck.
"This boat is useless, it's too slow!"
Originally, Anne chose this boat because it was big and beautiful, but how could she have imagined that it would run so slowly? Now I have just slowly turned and moved away from the dock, and I haven't even been able to get out of the port.
Anne frowned, looking at the slow speed of the ship, and then at the sails on the mast that were only slightly inflated by the breeze. Then, she rolled her eyes, and she felt that she seemed to have a good idea. Is there any way to make the boat faster?
Since it is blown by the wind, then it only needs to add a little bit of wind, right? That's right, it should be like this, it must be!
"I'm going to speed up, so be careful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, before anyone else could react, little Annie stretched out her little hands toward the sail and silently murmured: Strong wind!
The next moment, a strong wind appeared out of thin air and blew on the sail. The sail immediately swelled. The wind was so strong that even the mast made a mournful friction sound. Then, the bloated and fat fearless No., immediately speed up and get out! The speed suddenly surged to an incredible twelve to fifteen knots!
The sudden increase in speed of the Dreadnought caught the sailors off guard and fell to the deck.
This sudden increase in speed also stunned the helmsman for a moment. Then, the Intrepid made a sharp turn on the sea and crashed directly into the pier of the pier.
Norrington, who was watching the whole process from the side, was horrified and quickly took over the helmsman's job. He turned the rudder several times with all his strength and redirected the direction to the seaport to avoid the fate of running aground.
But the speed of the Dauntless did not slow down, and those incredible strong winds on the sails were still blowing violently. It caused the Dreadnought's speed to increase little by little, making this bloated former British Royal Navy battleship like a sensitive small boat. After rowing a large circle in the port, it began to move rapidly towards He flew out of the port.
Norrington was stunned and tightly grasped the rudder to control the direction. According to his estimation, the current speed had almost reached eighteen knots, right? This is incredible! How can a witch's witchcraft reach this level? Let a battleship that can only run at about twelve knots run at a high speed of twenty knots?
"Quick! Stop the wind! The Dauntless can't last long at this speed! If it continues like this, it will fall apart soon!"
Now the speed of the Dauntless is still increasing, and it is estimated that it has exceeded the speed of twenty knots.
While Norrington continued to control the direction of the ship tightly, he anxiously shouted to little Annie beside him.
As if his words came true, while the Dreadnought increased its speed, the hull began to make strange noises, which were the sounds of wood twisting. If it did not slow down, I am afraid that it would disintegrate directly at sea in the next moment. Already?
Norrington thought, this is really crazy! A low-speed battleship has reached a speed of more than 20 knots that is unmatched by any ship in the world. No one would believe it, right? If this speed could be maintained, how long would it take to get from the New World to Europe or the British Isles? It will only take a few days, I guess? Or even shorter?
"Eh? Is this going to fall apart? It's really useless!"
Hearing Norrington's words and listening to the strange noises on the ship's hull, little Annie was a little surprised. At such a speed, the ship was about to fall apart? Is this too weak?
I remember that when she was still in New York, she had accompanied Aunt Melinda on a boat ride on the sea. The speed of that SHIELD yacht could easily reach more than sixty knots. It felt like she wanted to It's like flying!
But now, the ship has just begun to accelerate. It's not even thirty knots yet, and it's about to be unable to withstand it?
Listening to the increasingly louder sounds when the hulls of the ships were pressed by the sea water, little Annie curled her lips in disdain. A wooden ship was just a wooden ship. It was really useless. It couldn't be like the ones from S.H.I.E.L.D. Just like a yacht, you can go as fast as you want.
"Okay! It seems that it is indeed going to fall apart, so I will forcefully strengthen it!"
It is impossible to slow down the boat. Little Annie doesn't want to sail slowly on the sea at the speed of a turtle. She likes this feeling of speed. This is sailing!
Therefore, without reducing the transmission, she directly pressed her right hand on the deck beneath her feet and released two magic spells on the entire ship.
Constant enchantment: Solid! Never wear out!
A burst of golden magic light instantly infiltrated the entire hull, flashed twice and then slowly disappeared. Then, the ship no longer heard the strange sound of the seawater pressing against the hull.
"Okay? Now you don't have to worry about it falling apart! Now, everyone, sit still! Dreadnought! Continue to accelerate, move forward at full speed, go for it!!"
Little Annie grabbed a floating cable, stepped directly on the railing of the bridge, pointed forward and shouted sweetly! This speed is not enough, she needs to be faster.
"Oh, God……"
Norrington, who was at the helm, was surprised to find that after the little witch cast magic on the hull, the Dauntless could no longer hear the sound of the hull twisting and the planks cracking. The entire hull, It seemed as if it had gained life and came back to life. When he manipulated it, it was extremely smooth and there was no sense of stagnation.
So, under the stunned eyes of everyone seeing off at the Port Royal Pier, the sturdy yet agile hull of the Dreadnaught drew a white navigation mark on the sea water, heading towards the distance at a terrifying speed of more than thirty knots. The sea rushed out and completely disappeared from everyone's sight after a while, leaving only the golden sea under the sunset.
…
"Ocean goddess...what kind of speed is this?"
Barbossa and the other sailors stood up from the deck in embarrassment. The witch's spell suddenly accelerated, causing him and the other sailors to fall face first on the deck. Wait until he regained his balance. When he stood up, his nose was crooked. If it hadn't been for the curse not being lifted, he would have been bleeding all over his face, right?
"Ha! I suddenly feel that the Black Pearl is not that good after all!"
After standing firm, Jack Sparrow was also surprised by the terrifying speed of the ship. It had obviously reached a speed of thirty knots, right? And the Black Pearl that he couldn't forget could only go up to a dozen knots at the fastest?
Before, the reason why he couldn't let go of the Black Pearl was because it was the fastest ship in the Caribbean! Well, we have to add a premise, when it’s windy!
But now, a heavy battleship that clearly belongs to the Old Han Legs class has actually reached a high speed of more than 30 knots? The handiwork of these witches is too terrifying, right?
Maybe, there is no need to rely on the black pearl? Let the witch get herself a faster, newer and better magic battleship? Jack Sparrow suddenly felt that he had to change his attitude towards the witches, instead of cheating the Black Pearl and running away as he had thought before!
"This won't work! It's too fast! Boatswain, hurry up, reef the sails! Hurry! Hale both mainsails!"
Although he had sailed out of the open sea, Norrington still felt that the speed of the ship was too fast!
At such a high speed, he might hit a reef at any time, and he wouldn't even have time to react! So, he quickly called to the still confused crew and sailors and asked them to quickly furl half of the sails.
"Yes! Reef the sails! Hurry!"
After coming to his senses, the boatswain finally began to shout, and drove the sailors to climb to the mast, untie the cables, and quickly roll up the two main sails.
...
On the pier of Port Royal, Charlotte took the last two remaining witches, twelve-year-old Coria Beaufort and fourteen-year-old Mary Chaska. The three of them stood on the pier of the port. Go up, silently looking at the place where the Dauntless disappeared in the distance, until the afterglow of dusk began to gradually disappear, and the red sunset could no longer be seen.
"Mary, Kolya, we have to work hard. When Master Anne comes back, we must let her see the greatly changed Port Royal! The Port Royal that belongs to our witches!"
Charlotte just looked at the sea quietly, facing the last ray of sunshine before the end of dusk, speaking softly, as if talking to herself, letting the last sunshine change her shadow Stretched very, very long.
