Chapter 239: The Interceptor
Warships are anchored in different areas of the same body of water as commercial ports.
The water area of the warship is wider, which is extremely easy to get in and out.
On the left is a large ship with square sails, the hull is as high as a five-story building, the deck is at least 50 meters long, the three masts are towering, and the sails have been folded.
As Xu Feng analyzed, it is impossible to snatch this heavy warship without ten sailors.
Moreover, it would have to be ten fairly skilled sailors.
Three-mast galleons are not easy to operate, especially the requirements for sailing are very high, the foremast is hung with a spinnaker, the mainmast and the rear mast are hung with square sails, the opening and closing angles of these sails must be perfectly matched with the rudder in order to make the ship move.
From the opening of the sail to the departure of the port, normally it takes half an hour, even if it is an emergency voyage, it will take at least ten minutes.
The medium-sized warship on the right, on the other hand, is much simpler than the larger one.
The medium-sized warship was half the size of the heavy warship, but the sails were larger, and such a ship had an absolute advantage when accelerating in a straight line.
Moreover, this medium warship had only twelve guns on board, one main gun in the bow and one main gun in the stern.
And the artillery on the heavy warships, there are at least forty guns.
It can be said that the positioning of these two warships is completely different, one is like a heavy cruiser, and the other is like a light destroyer.
If the destroyer on the right had been snatched, the cruiser would never have been able to catch up.
Captain Jack walked to the warship on the right with a pompous gesture, and Maple followed closely behind.
Before they could get closer, two guards in red uniforms stood in front of them.
The two soldiers were dressed in British red uniforms, carrying muskets in their hands and long swords pinned to their waists.
"Stop!" The fat man spoke first, "This is the military port of Port Royal, and no civilians are allowed to enter. ”
Captain Jack turned back to Xu Feng and said, "Did you hear that, civilian, you, can't enter." ”
With that, Captain Jack left Xu Feng and walked inside.
The guards hurriedly stopped Captain Jack, "Civilians are not allowed in!" ”
"I'm not a civilian." Captain Jack said with a serious face.
He was not a civilian, a civilian was protected by the marines, he was a pirate, and the pirates were attacked by the marines.
The tall guard sneered, "You're not a commoner, are you a nobleman?" ”
Captain Jack thought for a moment, "...... The same can be said. ”
His father is Teague Sparrow, the guardian of the Pirate Code, and the nine pirate kings of the world are all at the behest of his father!
In terms of this relationship, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a nobleman among pirates.
The two guards couldn't help but laugh as if they had met a mad psychopath.
In their eyes, Captain Jack is a vagabond who wears an outdated and dirty aristocratic coat and fantasizes about being an aristocratic bum.
"If you are a nobleman, the two of us will be emperors."
"Haha, that's right...... No, wait, how can a country have two emperors? I don't care, I'm going to be the emperor! ”
The fat man shrugged his shoulders uncompromisingly, "...... I can also be the emperor. ”
The thin man nodded in satisfaction.
…… This IQ.
Xu Feng couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
Captain Jack grinned, "...... I heard the sound of military music on the cliff, and most of the soldiers had gone to the castle on the cliff to participate in the promotion celebration, why couldn't someone as good as you two go to the celebration? ”
The thin man said coldly, "...... To prevent a neurotic like yours from entering the military port. ”
"That's right." The fat man nodded earnestly.
Captain Jack laughed, "It's a noble goal, but it's ...... Uh, I think, the ship on the left is a little bit stronger than the one on the right, what do you think? ”
The thin man sneered, "Just you, you also know boats?" It's true that the Dreadnought is the dominant power of the seas, but in terms of speed, no ship can match the Interceptor. ”
The "Dreadnought" he was talking about was obviously the heavy warship on the left, and the "Interceptor" was the light warship on the right.
Captain Jack shook his head, "The fastest?" I don't think so, but I've heard of a ship that is faster than any other. ”
Xu Feng also knows.
That ship was the Flying Dutchman, the devil's devil's ship of Captain David Jones.
Captain Jack naturally meant the same thing.
But apparently the two Port-Royal soldiers did not have such insight as them, and they did not know about the existence of the "Flying Dutchman".
Their vision is limited to the area around Port Royal.
The thin man scoffed, "There's no way there's a ship that can outrun the Interceptor." ”
The fat man hesitated, "I know there's one - the Black Pearl. ”
The thin man said seriously: "The Black Pearl is just a legend, it doesn't really exist. ”
The fat man frowned and said, "Of course the Black Pearl is real. ”
"It is!"
"It's not!"
"I've seen it with my own eyes!"
"No, you're bragging, you've been staying with me in Port Royal, how could you possibly have seen the Black Pearl with your own eyes?"
"I've just seen it!"
"You just got drunk one day and saw a ship with black sails, and then you thought you saw the Black Pearl."
“…… Okay, but I've certainly seen ships with black sails, and they're fast. ”
"No, it's definitely not the Black Pearl, there is no Black Pearl in this world at all, it's all made up by the person who wrote it to make money."
"But I did see the ship of the black sails......"
"Just because you see a ship with black sails doesn't mean it's the Black Pearl, there are other pirate ships with black sails! Just because you're drunk and see a ship with black sails doesn't mean you saw the Black Pearl! You can't compare a fictional ship to our real Intercept! ”
"Well... bar. ”
After the two guards finished arguing, they looked back and saw that Captain Jack and Xu Feng had already taken the opportunity to sneak on to the Interceptor.
Captain Jack took the rudder, looked around left and right, and sighed secretly, "It's not as good as my own ship." ”
His ship is the legendary Black Pearl.
He is the true captain of the Black Pearl.
The current captain of the Black Pearl, "Barbossa", was originally his first mate, but later launched a mutiny, leaving Captain Jack on an uninhabited island, and then leaving Jack to fend for himself with the Black Pearl and the crew.
Why did Barbossa rebel?
One is that Barbossa is very ambitious and wants to plunder more wealth, while Captain Jack has little interest in wealth and only wants to explore freely and uninhibitedly.
Second, Barbossa happens to have a treasure map with the hideout of the Aztec gold coins, and Barbossa wants Captain Jack to find the Aztec gold coins, but Captain Jack doesn't want to get the curse on them.
At Barbossa's instigation, the sailors rebelled and took the Black Pearl.
Eventually, Barbossa was given the Aztec gold coin, and was cursed with the Aztec gold coin, never being able to enjoy it.
