Chapter 108 Confused Conversation

Nieto stood on the deck of the Black Pearl, feeling the gazes of the sailors around him, but only felt his legs go weak.

The Black Pearl, this name is indeed very popular as a drink in the tavern's leisure time, but it takes a lot of courage to let Nieto go up on his own.

After all, everyone said it was a ghost ship full of undead leading to another world.

Until a small hand tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Nieto looked down and saw that his little daughter, Luna, was looking up at her sick little face, trying to smile at him.

He crouched down and hugged Luna, his voice no longer trembling: "Don't worry, Dad is with you."

For the sake of his daughter, even a coward like him can overcome fear.

"Ha! Mr. Nieto, and Miss Luna, please don't be restrained."

Barbossa, who was wearing a wide felt hat, laughed grimly, but this time he was really kind: "The captain has something to go out, and he will be back soon. Before that, why don't you try Mr. Bonan, the boat's cook? Proud dishes?"

The proud Miss Maria walked over to little Luna with a dinner plate, squatted down and said softly, "Mr. Bonan's specialty - Galician octopus, would you like to try it?"

The plate is piled high with diced boiled octopus and fried potatoes, sprinkled with paprika, and the sizzling aroma whets the appetite.

Little Luna swallowed her saliva and looked up at her father. Seeing the latter nod, she held the corners of her skirt and gave Barbossa and Maria a clumsy salute.

Maria laughed so big that her eyes were crescents, and she took the little girl and sat in the lee of the corner to whisper.

As soon as his daughter left, Nieto's courage seemed to disappear, and he turned back to that timid, thin man.

Barbossa smiled, walked over to Nieto and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Nieto, don't worry. If there is any gentleman in this world who will never break his promise, then Black Pearl Lord Heather, the captain of the ship, must be one of them."

He is well aware of how miraculous and precious the [healing] promise made by Captain Heather is. This man is willing to set foot on the notorious Black Pearl for his youngest daughter. Even Barbossa himself feels admiration.

Looking at Barbossa's close yellow teeth and fierce eyes, Nieto's face turned pale, and he forced a smile and nodded.

At this time, the lookout above their heads shouted in surprise: "... Chief mate?"

"What's the matter?" Barbossa looked up.

"The battleship was found at ten o'clock... Yes, it's the Holy Trinity!" The lookout's voice gradually became alarmed.

Speaking of the most powerful warship in the world, it must be the Holy Trinity, and even the East India Company's Endeavor has to move a little to the side.

Barbossa was a little puzzled. Could it be Marquis Gonzalo?Impossible, that old thing has always been unprofitable and can't afford to be too early, knowing that the Black Pearl's terrifying speed is the highest in the Caribbean Sea, dare to face it head-on?

Thinking of this, Barbossa took out his telescope and looked at the Holy Trinity on the distant horizon.

Well, the four-tier gun deck is the Holy Trinity. That's right, only this invincible battleship in the world has such a strange and magnificent structure... Wait a minute, Black Sail?

Barbossa put down the telescope hesitantly, blinked his small eyes, and raised the telescope to his eyes again.

Could it be that I'm holding the binoculars in the wrong way?
How could the Spanish navy, which hates all pirates and things related to pirates, hang the [black sails] that symbolize pirate ships?Especially the Marquis Gonzalo, the old bastard who claims to be a loyal servant of the gods, wants to dye all the sails of all military and civilian ships in Havana into white, which symbolizes purity and holiness.

Jack Sparrow... For some reason, Barbossa's name immediately popped into his mind.It's not that he is sensitive in his heart, but that once there is something strange and temporarily inexplicable around him, as long as he leads Jack Sparrow, it must be right.

Just thinking of this, Barbossa, who has the right to temporarily take over the command of the captain when the captain leaves the ship, signaled everyone not to panic and prepare to flee immediately, but to stay in place and see what the Holy Trinity wants. what to do.

As the battleship gradually approached, the huge hull of the Holy Trinity also gave everyone a great sense of oppression.

As for the 110 four cannons, who would dare not have a sense of crisis?As long as a salvo is fired, let alone the Black Pearl, even Havana Harbor will be destroyed immediately.

In the end, the giant ship stopped about 50 meters away from the Black Pearl, silently.

Barbossa stood at the highest point of the stern, raised his head and shouted loudly:
"Hector Barbossa, the first mate of the Black Pearl, salutes you all! I don't know which captain is commanding this invincible battleship that is unparalleled in the world. Can you come out and talk about it?"

Still silent.

The huge crowned lion, which is the head of the Holy Trinity, opened its huge mouth, as if making a silent mockery.

Just as Barbossa and the others were under increasing pressure, a small head poked out from the edge of the top deck of the Holy Trinity.It was none other than Jack in a Spanish uniform!

"Look, Hector is so nervous, he really should find a brilliant painter to paint this scene." Jack muttered nonsense, still lying on the railing on the edge of the deck and looking down of the Black Pearl.

"Jack Sparrow! Why are you on the Holy Trinity?"

Barbossa shouted: "Are you captured again? Or have you provoked the Spanish Navy and the Marquis of Gonzalo?"

At this moment, another head appeared not far from Jack's side.

Second Jack.

He glanced at the first Jack: "Hector, did he take the wrong medicine?"

"He's getting old too, it's normal to have problems here." The first Jack pointed to his head, then shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Maybe he will soon be replaced by his mentor and go to the countryside to grow crops. Old age is Hector's home."

The second Jack was overjoyed: "Then can I be promoted to the post of first mate of the Black Pearl?"

"No, you're the boatman on the Holy Trinity, and I'm the lookout, always." The first Jack shook his head.

The second Jack slumped back on the railing dejectedly: "...It's boring."

Immediately afterwards, the third Jack also appeared from the side with a calm expression: "A bunch of scumbags! Hurry up and work! If you are lazy, you will be rewarded with a few whips!"

"Yes, sir!" The first two Jacks quickly stood at attention and saluted, then disappeared from the edge of the deck.

Everyone on the Black Pearl below looked dumbfounded.

Is our navigator, Mr. Jack, crazy, or are we crazy?
