Chapter 221: Jarvis with Nowhere to Run
"You?" Di Freina raised an eyebrow.
"I'm small, and I might be able to squeeze in through the gap, so I can fill the hole in the bottom of the boat without having to remove the wine cabinet." Harry volunteered.
Di Freina looked at the bald carpenter on the other side.
The latter looked at Harry's figure and nodded, "Theoretically, that's possible." ”
"Just let me try, Mr. DuFrena, or the ship will sink and everyone will die here." Harry begged.
"But the wound on your arm?"
"I was so scared that I broke it when I ran away later, but it was just a little skin injury, and it didn't get in the way." Harry said as he moved his arm to show Di Freina.
The latter finally stopped hesitating and said to Harry, "Quick, take off your shirt." ”
Harry took off his coat as the quartermaster had said, and then D'Everena tore a sleeve from his coat, wrapped the cork inside, and handed it back to Harry, "Use this thing to plug the holes, you can adjust the size yourself, if it's not enough, wrap a few more layers of fabric." ”
"Understood."
"Pay attention to safety, haven't you always wanted to be a member of the Jackdaw, do this well, and I will personally make a proposal to the captain to recruit you as a full crew member."
Harry's eyes lit up and he grinned, "Leave it to me." ”
After saying that, he took a deep breath, and a fierce man plunged into the water.
…………
On the other side, although Jarvis had delayed a lot of time to close the distance between him and the Jackdaw, but now that he was finally rowing in front of the warship, he could already see Walden and Chris standing on the deck, he had not met the former much, but he had been in contact with the latter, and knew that Chris was a high-ranking member of the Navy.
He had been passing on the information of the operation to the latter on time, and Jarvis lowered his oars and waved at Chris, who avoided his gaze.
Walden snorted coldly, "Are you feeling ashamed?" ”
"No, sir." Although Chris's cheeks were hot, he still held his chest high.
"The communication between you and the beast is originally a deception, think about the people who died in their hands, there is no need to have any psychological burden, now, I want you to raise your head and look into the eyes of the other party."
Chris was somewhat resistant to the order, but did so.
Jarvis was still waving his hand, finally attracting Chris's attention, but then he read from those familiar eyes that he had never felt more indifferent than ever, and a chill arose in Jarvis's heart.
After all, he is also a famous pirate in the nearby seas, how can he not understand the meaning contained in that gaze, but to this point, he has already given everything, and there is no way back.
After betraying the Black Prince Sam and the others, he could not return to the pirates, and the crew of the Warrior on the shore was also dead and wounded at this time, leaving him alone, Jarvis originally thought that after he had done all this and received a pardon, he could completely break with the past, leave the old world, and throw himself into the arms of the new world.
However, at this moment, he suddenly found that he had indeed left the old world, but the door to the new world seemed to be closed before his eyes, so he became a person with nowhere to go.
"Very well, let's get rid of him, and when I go back, tell Earl Lambert that Captain Jarvis was accidentally killed by a stray bullet in the firefight." Walden said lightly, "We will fulfill our agreement with him and bring him back to civilized society, but after his death." ”
Jarvis saw the gun port on the deck turned to him, in fact, he still had time to abandon the ship and escape, after all, the navy was still focused on the Jackdaw and other pirate ships anchored in the bay, if he jumped, there was a high probability that he would be able to avoid the shells, but Jarvis sat on the ship and did not move.
He didn't know where he could escape, and even if he dodged the shells, how would he survive after that?
With Chris's order, the gunner lit the arquebus, and the first cannonball flew out of the ferry boat, so the gunner took a moment to reorient, but unfortunately the second gun still deviated from the target, and the splash caused the boat to vibrate with it, but Jarvis on it was as unmoved as a petrified statue, and the third time, the gunner took an unusually long time to aim, a full half a minute, and finally succeeded in hitting the boat and causing the latter to fall into pieces.
After a few more moments, Jarvis's body surfaced, but no one cared anymore.
Jarvis' death was just an insignificant episode in this big fight.
Then five warships and armed ships from the navy and pirate hunters launched a fierce attack on the pirate ship moored in the harbor, and the Black Prince Sam and others did not care about the casualties to deal with the recalcitrant crew of the Warrior on the beach as quickly as possible, and then rushed towards the pirate ship moored in the harbor.
They were now severely understaffed, and the gunners who could fire could barely make up two ships, so they decided to combine the men of several boats, but just as they boarded the ferryboat and rowed towards the nearest pirate ship, the naval and pirate hunter shells arrived there one step ahead of them.
The pirates watched their pirate ship be flooded by cannon fire, and the first to sink was Brooke's Swordfish, which had been badly damaged in the previous battle, and the carpenters on the ship had only come to repair a small half, which was recorded in detail in the information given by Jarvis, so it was natural that the Swordfish became the first target of the navy.
Even though Brooke was mentally prepared, his face still couldn't help but turn blue when he saw the pirate ship that accompanied him day and night being sunk like this.
Next in the footsteps of the Swordfish is the Tiger Shark, which is second only to the Whydah in terms of firepower, and is also one of the two pirate ships that the Black Prince Sam and others are now rowing on the ferry, but before they get there, the Tiger Shark is set on fire, but its hull is stronger than the Swordfish, so it lasts much longer than the Swordfish, and it also buys a certain amount of time for the pirates.
Sam, the Black Prince, decides to abandon the Vader, which was too far away, and instead turns around with the people on the ferryboat and rows towards Jarvis's Warrior.
The crew on the Warrior had obviously also considered how to evacuate after turning their faces, and the Warrior was also the closest ship to the beach, but unfortunately there was an accident later, they were exposed in advance, and they were suppressed by the fire and had no chance to get on the ship again, but now they are giving the Black Prince Sam and others a chance.
Not a chance to escape, but a chance to fight back, this victory has long been settled, but now there is still a group of people to fight for dignity.
