After the fishing competition that was ruined by the pirate Barbossa finally came to an end, under the command of the only two professional cooks on the ship, the sailors cheered and cut up the harvested big fish and dissected them one by one and moved them piece by piece to the kitchen below. Inside, some were salted and stored.
As ordinary sailors, they don't care who wins or loses in the game. Anyway, in these two days, they can have a hearty meal. This is the most important thing!
It was only the second day after going to sea, and sumptuous foods such as seafood dinners or ocean fish set meals were still very attractive to them.
While the sailors were still dealing with the big shark, Barbossa couldn't wait to move towards the witches. Now it was time for him to receive the winner's reward. He had already thought about what he should ask the witches for. A little something.
"Then, dear witch, do you want to continue the competition?"
After Basabo saluted Anne proudly, he asked carefully. He didn't want any foreign objects such as magic items, but he wanted another kind of reward.
"Hmph! No need! Even if you win this time!"
Anne looked angrily at the sailors who were busy cutting up the sharks on the deck below the bridge, and replied a little angrily! She will never play fishing competitions with them again! Each of these people is worse than the last! The ability to exploit loopholes is also better than the last!
"Is that so, then, my dear witch, my prize?"
Barbossa rubbed his hands together and approached Annie. Isn't it just for this reward that he worked so hard to win this fishing competition?
"Go away, how long have you been without a shower? It really stinks!"
Annie pinched her nose and took two steps away from the other party. These pirates were so smelly that they really stunk to death! Do they never take a shower or brush their teeth? It looks disgusting!
"Tell me! What prize do you want? Is it a telescope enchanted with eagle eye? Bring your telescope."
After taking two steps away from this smelly pirate, little Annie reluctantly stretched out her hand and motioned for the other party to quickly hand over the binoculars.
Anyway, this kind of enchanted gadget is not too easy for Annie to make. It’s just a matter of convenience. She can have as many as she wants! This is why she is not afraid of losing the game. She treats it as a prize for them to play with her. What's so great about it?
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Witch! I don't want any magic telescope. I just want you to help lift this curse on me and make me a living person again. That's it!"
Although Bassabaugh also wanted and was very greedy for telescopes enchanted with eagle eye, especially when Jack Sparrow fiddled with them in front of him from time to time.
However, compared to the curse that had tortured them for countless years and was still tormenting him all the time, making it impossible for him to sleep, taste good wine and food, and even eat an apple, the curse was lifted and he returned to his identity as a resurrected person. is the most important, and other things, under this premise, do not seem so important.
"Removing the curse? It's not impossible..."
Annie suddenly remembered that this pirate seemed to have that strange immortal curse on him.
If you just want to lift this curse as a prize, maybe it's not so unacceptable. Anyway, whether it's lifting a curse or enchanting an item, it won't be more difficult for her than casting a Shattering Fire.
"This is absolutely not possible! Master! You absolutely cannot lift the curse on him! Sister Charlotte said that only after he leads us to find the treasure can we lift the curse on him."
Seeing that her master Anne was a little moved, her twin sister Cecilia quickly spoke up to remind Anne.
She remembered Charlotte's instructions. Before setting off, the two sisters were told that when going to sea, in addition to taking care of their master's daily life, they should also be wary of these pirates or being petty, like Now this kind of behavior that requires the curse to be lifted in advance is absolutely not allowed!
"That's right! Pirates like Barbossa are the most cunning! Now that you have lifted the curse on him, maybe he will run away secretly without knowing when!"
The twin sister Christina on the other side also helped. She felt that this bearded Barbosa was definitely not a good person.
"Huh? That's right! I can't lift the curse for you now! You'd better get another reward. Come on, I'm going to have a rest later."
After the two twin sisters reminded themselves, Anne also remembered this matter.
After all, they went out to sea this time in the name of searching for treasures. How embarrassing would it be if you didn't find any treasure when you went back? Although she didn't think this pirate could escape under her nose, she didn't want to waste time staring at him all day long, so she just let him continue to be cursed.
"Aha! Lady Witch Anne, your decision is really wise!"
"I know this bad guy very well. He must have thought this just now. Once you lift the curse from him, I, Captain Sparrow, can assure you that if you are not careful, you will let him escape!"
Jack Sparrow, who was gloating about his misfortune and fearing that the world would be in chaos, also hurriedly added another blow.
He hated Barbossa, the culprit who had robbed his Black Pearl! Therefore, he will definitely do whatever it takes to make the other party unhappy, even if it harms others and does not benefit himself.
"I know him best! Lord Witch, I swear! After you lift the curse on him, he will never take us to search for treasures again. Besides, we don't know when he will jump into the sea and run away!"
"Bastard Jack! You're going to regret it!"
Barbossa, whose thoughts were exposed, glared at Jack Sparrow angrily, wishing he could just pull out the knife and have a violent fight with the guy who was facing him all day long!
"Regret? No, no, no, the great Captain Jack Sparrow never regrets!"
Sparrow twisted his waist and ran behind the three witches. He pinched his orchid fingers from behind and looked at Barbossa proudly. Being able to cause trouble to the other party is his greatest happiness. How could he regret it? How could I regret it? impossible things!
"Humph! So, how about this? I won't be exposed to the curse for the time being. I want the Black Pearl as a prize! This condition should be acceptable, right?"
After sneering at the triumphant Jack Sparrow hiding behind the witch, Barbossa quickly thought of a good idea to counterattack his opponent and said another thing that could serve as a reward.
Why doesn't Jack Sparrow argue with himself all day long? Isn't it the Black Pearl that he envies the most? Well, now, let’s get that boat completely under our own name first!
"Black Pearl? Is it the shabby black ship in the port?"
After hearing the name again, little Annie remembered the dirty and shabby-looking black ship that was still moored in Port Royal. When she planned to go out to sea yesterday, she didn't choose that ship.
"If it's the black ship, yes! Then it's settled, it's yours!"
It's not her own thing anyway, and she doesn't like it anyway, so little Annie doesn't feel bad at all when she gives it away.
It is said that the black ship was originally captured by the bearded man when he came to attack the port the night before yesterday, right? Now that she's sending it back, it seems like she hasn't lost anything, right? That's the decision, just give it back to him when you go back.
"No! The Black Pearl is mine!"
Jack Sparrow, who had moved a rock but ended up hitting himself in the foot, suddenly became anxious. Now he really regretted his bad mouth just now. It was fine, so why did he have to cause trouble for himself?
"Ha! Sorry, it's mine again!"
After hearing what his rival Jack said, Bassab immediately sneered back.
"What did I just say? You will definitely regret it. Now you are satisfied?"
Barbossa wanted to get back the Black Pearl on purpose. Who asked this bastard Jack to cause trouble for him? Since it would be easy for him otherwise, then I would never let him be proud!
That's what professional pirates are, they specialize in doing things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves. As long as they can cause trouble for their opponents or make them unhappy, they can do anything.
"Wait for me, Barbossa!"
…
"There's a situation!"
Just as the two were entangled over the ownership of the Black Pearl, the alarm bell on the highest observation basket on the main mast of the Dauntless suddenly rang.
When everyone on the deck looked up, they saw the lookout hand pointing in one direction and shouting loudly.
"There's a situation! Spanish warships! There are three of them in the northwest direction! They are heading towards us at high speed with the wind!"
What? Spanish battleship? In this sea area? Or three ships? Something bad happened!
After sighing in his heart, Norrington, now the captain of the Intrepid, quickly took out his telescope and looked in the direction indicated by the lookout hand. He knew very well that the current Britain and Spain were not friendly. Country, the chances of a fight between the two sides meeting at sea are very high!
You know, the British Jamaica Islands were taken from Spain! In this regard, the Spaniards hated the British with gnashing teeth. Now that they encountered the lone Dreadnaught, they would definitely not let it go, right?
If you think about it from another person's perspective, if Norrington himself were Spanish and saw the British warship that was alone, he would definitely come up and take action, right? This is obviously certain. No matter who is on the sea, if he finds an opportunity to attack his opponent, he will not let it go easily.
Even the British, when they encounter a lone Spanish merchant ship at sea, don't they grab it when they have the chance? In the face of real interests, whether it is the Spanish or the British, they can switch between pirates and the navy at any time.
It is indeed a Spanish battleship!
Norrington vaguely saw three Spanish sailing ships in the direction he was observing through his telescope. However, since the bridge was not as high as the observation deck, he could not see very clearly here. He only knew that the other party was on board. Holding the Spanish flag, and sailing in the direction of his own side.
"Oh... they are really Spaniards, huh? They are busy reloading now... Ah! They also opened the cannon doors! They have so many cannons!"
Jack Sparrow, who was standing next to the Brigadier, could see much more clearly after the telescope in his hand was enchanted!
He even saw the busy sailors on the Spanish battleships. They opened the gun doors and pushed out the cannons one after another at the shouts of the officers.
"Guys, I think we might be in trouble this time."
Obviously, Sparrow saw that the Spaniards were ready for a full-scale battle and planned to completely eat up the lone British battleship Dreadnought. They were coming in smoothly, so they had no plans to do so. Let these people escape.
If he hadn't known that no one could catch up with his Dauntless when it ran at full speed, Jack Sparrow himself might have been ready to jump into the sea to escape at any time. If it were any other ordinary sailing ship, it would basically be declared a failure if it encountered three warships coming downwind when going against the wind and the current.
"What? Let me see!"
Norrington was startled when he heard Jack Sparrow's words. Then, he quickly grabbed the other party's enchanted telescope and started observing.
That's right! The Spaniards have really prepared for battle in advance. Their three ships are now not only arranged in the best double-team formation for battle, but they have also pushed all the naval guns out of the gun ports, intending to follow the wind at full speed. He attacked his own Dreadnought head-on and launched a fierce bombardment.
"What are you still doing? Raise all sails! We must prepare to retreat at full speed!"
Under Commodore Norrington's stern orders, the sailors immediately began to get busy.
Now, Norrington seems a little lucky. Fortunately, these witches have magically transformed the Dauntless. Otherwise, they would really be doomed this time in the headwind situation!
"No retreat!"
Anne's eyes immediately lit up when she heard there was a fight.
navigation! adventure! fighting! Find the treasure!
These things that sound exciting and fun are not exactly the purpose of her coming out of Port Royal this time? After the fishing competition, little Annie, who had been bored for a while, was about to find something to do!
Now, after finally encountering something blind and brave enough to attack her ship, how could she possibly retreat? We must fight! Push out the cannon and kill them! Little Annie has decided that she will aim and light the cannon herself soon. Just thinking about it makes her feel very happy!
"Now, everyone listen to me: Yang Fan speeds up! The gunner starts loading, and we are also getting ready to fight!"
Little Annie proudly stood on the guardrail of the bridge and began to command the stunned sailors below with high spirits.
"Why don't you hurry up?"
Seeing that the sailors and artillerymen below were stunned and angry, little Annie couldn't help but glare at them, and balls of flames began to appear on her body.
"Ah? Yes! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
After receiving two contradictory orders, the boatswain and gunners were stunned for a while before they realized that everything on the Dauntless was now decided by the witch! So, after quickly repeating the order, they quickly hoisted the sail, loaded the ammunition, and started busy according to the little witch's order.
"This... this, this is nonsense!"
Seeing that this little witch actually wanted to challenge three large Spanish battleships with a Dreadnought, Commodore Norrington jumped in haste. Isn't this a mess?
"Okay, don't worry, Brigadier General? Anyway, we have witches here, so we will definitely not lose, right?"
After Jack Sparrow took back his telescope, he wiped it carefully before stuffing it back into the pocket on his waist. This telescope was his treasure. Just like his compass, it should not be given away randomly. People take it.
Since there are three witches on board the Dauntless, what does Sparrow have to worry about? The witches have so many witchcrafts and their fire magic is so powerful. How could they be afraid of the opponent's three battleships?
Therefore, Sparrow felt that Norrington, the rigid Commodore, had still not been able to turn his head around. He believed that the next naval battle would be very different from the ones they had fought in the past.
"Uh...well, maybe you're right."
After Norrington was robbed of the telescope, he was stunned for a moment. Thinking about what Sparrow said again, it seemed that it was quite reasonable? Anyway, there are witches here, so they shouldn't be afraid, right? Their fire magic is so powerful that if they can't defeat it in an artillery battle, can they send it up at high speed and let the witches set fire to the opponent?
"Hey! The helmsman above! Hurry up and turn the ship sideways. I'm going to attack them with this row of artillery. If you drive the ship straight like this, how can I attack them?"
Little Annie stood next to the gun emplacement on the deck. After the gunners loaded the fire monsters and shells and plugged in the fuses, Little Annie took the torch, turned around and loudly reprimanded the helmsman for driving the ship like that.
Now, the enemy was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't wait to fire a few shots to try.
