foreigner's journey

Chapter 109 Opportunity
Climbing along the rope ladder to the deck of the Holy Trinity, the sailors of the Black Pearl seemed to have entered the Grand View Garden, and only had barren words such as 'wow', 'God', 'praise the captain' and so on.

The Holy Trinity was like the shock of a commoner stepping on the flight deck of the Liaoning to the bitter [-]th century sailors.

"So... this guy also learned Captain Heather's 'witchcraft'?"

Barbossa looked at the pile of 'Jacks' in front of him, and didn't know which one to talk to, so he could only mutter to himself.

One of them, Jack in a black hood, walked up to Barbossa with his orchid fingers and said triumphantly, "You have to admit, Hector, I've always been gifted at this. Remember that goat exorcism? A crossbow, an hourglass, three goats, you play the trumpet, I'm in charge..."

He raised his hands in front of him and shook them vigorously, as if he was using magic: "...this. The girl from the fishing village was also rescued because of this, right?"

"That girl just caught the cold! Your so-called 'exorcism ritual' is useless, and it makes us all watched as clowns by those fishermen!"

Barbossa yelled angrily, that was 12 years ago, it was simply his dark history.

"Hector, if you want to learn, it's not impossible, but you have to swear to give me the position of first mate of the Black Pearl." A certain Jack quietly rubbed against Barbossa and bewitched.

"Don't give it to him, give it to me! He's just a boatman, and I'm a boatman! Do you like rat and potatoes?" Another Jack jumped up in front of Barbossa, his eyebrows twitching like a twitching seagull.

"Damn it, it's like a swarm of flies... Get the hell out of there!"

Barbossa was so annoyed by the Jacks that he pushed them away, shouting, "Let the real Jack speak to me! What about the others?"

Step, step, step...

The collision between the hard boot soles and the deck made a thudding sound of footsteps, and the group of 'Jacks' automatically divided into two sides to leave a narrow path, revealing the figures behind them.

Jack wore a luxurious trench coat and a gold-trimmed captain's hat that had been turned over from the captain's room, and supported the flashy gold-carved sword around his waist. He walked to Barbossa at a pace that he did not recognize. He first turned around in place, and then He raised his head and closed his eyes, intoxicatedly fanning the scent of perfume that was so rich in his nose:

"This old-fashioned first mate, are you looking for the designated owner of the Holy Trinity, the great Captain Jack Sparrow?"

The corners of Barbossa's eyes twitched, this cheap look... Yes, this is definitely the body.

"Damn Jack Sparrow, do you know how much trouble you've caused us? This is the flagship of the Spanish Navy! The invincible Holy Trinity!"

Barbossa grabbed Jack by the collar, foaming from his mouth: "The Spanish Navy will chase us to the ends of the earth forever! I should have tied you to a cannon and sank to the bottom of the sea! No, no, here it is! Before that, I have to send you and this Holy Trinity back to Marquis Gonzalo!"

"...You're so brave, Hector." Jack looked at Barbossa with a weird expression, a contrived expression of your hopelessness.

Before Barbossa could recall his thoughts, he heard a familiar voice from behind:
"My dear first mate, to whom are you going to give my Holy Trinity and my apprentice?"

Bang!Jack fell to the ground, and Barbossa, who let go of his hand, forced an embarrassed smirk on his face, turned around and touched his chest with one hand, and bowed deeply in the exaggerated style of a theatrical actor:
"Respected lord, it turns out that this mighty world's most powerful warship is your trophy. Please forgive the stupidity of your loyal chief officer."

The footsteps walked unhurriedly to Barbossa, who was in a bowed position. Just as Barbossa was sweating and his mind was turning, he felt a hand tap his shoulder lightly, Heather. The voice also sounded:
"Don't be so nervous. When everyone says the wrong thing, I don't deliberately play a cruel and ruthless captain on weekdays, right?"

"Yes, your kindness and broad-mindedness make us ashamed." Barbossa answered quickly.

"You know, although I am a bit mentally clean, I can't help but take care of my subordinates who have surrendered to me. This is called 'protecting the short' in my hometown. Is this a bad habit?" Heather's voice was still unhurried.

"No no no, I think your habit is very good and worth continuing to carry forward."

Barbossa didn't even dare to lift his waist.He knew very well that although he was temporarily the first mate of the Black Pearl, it was only because Heather felt that he was still useful, so he did not let himself take the springboard or be forcibly banished to the desert island.

This captain, who is more of a knight or an explorer than a pirate, has no sympathy for a pirate who has committed numerous crimes.Jack, who never kills innocent people and even has a ridiculous conscience in his heart, is the subordinate that Heather values.

Now that Blackbeard's trace has been found, and he has newly acquired a powerful battleship like the Holy Trinity, he can't prevent Heather's righteous heart from attacking, and slaughter himself, who has lost its use value.Thinking of this, the sweat on Barbossa's forehead flowed even faster, dripping onto the deck.

Seeing the ruthless and vicious pirate captain in front of him, sweating profusely, maintaining a bowing posture, Heather also fell into contemplation.

Barbossa guessed right. At first, Heather did plan to use Barbossa's sailing knowledge and rich experience in managing sailors to find Blackbeard. After finding the trail, he would be sent to the underworld with the innocents killed by him. meet.

But, how should I put it, Heather himself is not a good person in the conventional sense, at least he doesn't have any psychological fluctuations when he kills people, and he doesn't feel the slightest "vomiting syndrome after murder" that is often written in novels.

Heather has been with Barbossa for more than half a year since he traveled to the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, and the other party is still loyal and humble to him.Gradually, his killing intent towards him also faded a lot.

But if he didn't kill him, how could he ensure that he wouldn't continue killing innocent people after he left this world?

Well...there is.

【Restrictions and Oaths】!
Since his first mate wants to learn the ability so much, then it is good to teach him, but when he cultivates, he must set up a strict [restriction and oath] under his own supervision - not allowing Barbossa to let himself and his His subordinates harm innocent people in any form.

Once violated, Barbossa will be attacked by the terrifying power of mind, and [lose life] is only the beginning for him.

What?What if Barbossa hadn't learned the ability to read and could not conclude [Constraint and Oath] when Heather was about to leave this world?Then I had to kill it. What's the point of hesitating? The opportunity has already been given to him, and he is useless.

Thinking of this, Heather felt at ease, and his thoughts were clear!

　PS: Seeing this, everyone should be able to understand Heather's position, right?He is different from Victor, the protagonist in my last book. If Victor is more lawful and good, then Heather is a typical chaotic neutral.
