Chapter 483: Reunion
Xu Feng took a closer look at Mather.
Mather was Beckett's aide-de-camp and the most trusted person around Beckett, often helping Beckett do some unseen evil things.
This guy's strength should not be bad, and in terms of relative level, he is at least level 38, which is an extremely difficult guy to deal with.
With Xu Feng's strength, if he suddenly attacked, he still had a chance to kill Mather.
But...... That's not what they're here for.
Xu Feng nodded slightly at Jack, who shrugged his shoulders, "Okay then, then I'll reluctantly meet him." β
The two then boarded the boat and headed for the Struggle.
At this time, the Black Pearl, which was hidden in the nearby island area, also got the news and began to slowly sail out of the island area, blocking the back road of the Struggle.
This time, the Struggle only brought a total of two frigates, and judging from this situation, the Black Pearl and the Tang Pirate Fleet of Howling Wind still seem to have hope of fighting the Struggle.
The spirit of pirates is to fight if you can beat it, and run away if you can't beat it.
Now that there is a chance to destroy Beckett, Barbossa will naturally not give up this opportunity.
The entire Black Pearl is actively preparing for battle, all the cannons have been filled, and their primary goal is to sink a frigate before the other party finds them, and when the Endeavor enters their range, they will confront the Endeavour, and at this time, Howling Wind's fleet can rush to destroy the other frigate and kill the Endeavour.
It can be said that this battle plan is still very good.
At the very least, it's worth a try.
Anyway, the speed of the Black Pearl is very fast, and if you can't beat it, it's too late to escape.
Maple and Jack were taken to the captain's room by a team of heavily armed sailors, who then withdrew, leaving only Mather behind.
He stood at the door of the captain's room, his hands on the two short guns at his waist, his eyes grim, as if ready to fire at any moment.
At the desk in the captain's room, a short man was reviewing documents.
He wore a woolen wig on his head, and his clothes were clean and neat, completely aristocratic posture.
If he hadn't known that he was from a poor background, Xu Feng would have thought that he was seeing a real nobleman.
"Hello, Beckett!" Jack said hello pompously.
Beckett said without looking up, "You two wait a minute, when I'm done with the paperwork at handβI like to concentrate on one thing when I'm done, and when I'm done with this one, I'm dealing with something else." It's a bit rigid, but it's very efficient, and that's what I learned when I was an apprentice in a shipyard. β
Jack said indifferently, "Whatever." β
With that, he walked around the luxurious captain's quarters, completely treating it as if it were his own home.
He looked east and west, and when he came across a beautiful little silverware, he stuffed it into his pocket.
Mather frowned on the sidelines, wishing to shoot Jack, but ...... Breaking Jack for a few small pieces of silverware seems a little uneconomical.
Xu Feng first observed the back road of the captain's room.
If there is danger for a moment, he can exit from the back with Jack.
The captain's cabin has two floor-to-ceiling windows, which don't look too sturdy, and can be broken out if necessary.
After Xu Feng finished looking at the retreat, he moved his gaze to the huge sand table in the middle of the captain's room.
This sand table is the sand table of the Strait of Malacca, and almost every small island is displayed on the sand table, which can be described as very detailed.
Xu Feng couldn't help but frown, he saw that on this sand table, the Struggle and the two frigates had been marked with small models, and the Black Pearl, the Hongmao, and even the pirate fleet of Howling Wind had also been marked.
This illustrates...... It is not Howling Wind who is holding the initiative in this naval battle, but Beckett who is holding the initiative.
Howling Wind is using Jack as bait, and Beckett is using himself as bait.
Once the war breaks out and Howling Wind's fleet is exposed, it is likely that it will fall into ruin.
The more Xu Feng looked at this sand table, the more dignified his face became.
This state is the opposite of Jack, before Jack boarded the Struggle, his expression was very solemn, but when he really saw Beckett, he was not so dignified.
Before Xu Feng boarded the ship, his expression was relatively relaxed, but after seeing the sand table, the whole person was extremely dignified.
Beckett had a firm grasp of the howling wind, which showed ...... Among the people of the howling wind, there are traitors!
After all, it's a reward of 1 million gold coins.
β¦β¦ Howling wind, danger! Xu Feng secretly took a breath of cool air.
Beckett finished processing the papers at hand, then stood up from his desk, picked up a bottle of red wine from the bar, and filled three silver shot glasses.
"Welcome to the two of us aboard the Struggle, we are also old friends, come, for our meeting this time, a toast."
Jack snorted, "Couldn't it be a drug bar?" β
Beckett laughed, "Why should I use poisoned wine against you? β
Jack shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly, "Perhaps, you want to play something different?" What an uncreative thing you think it is to kill a pirate by hanging, and it's fun to poison them. β
Beckett smiled helplessly, "If I want to kill pirates, I don't need to be creative. β
Jack laughed, "After all these years, you're still the same." β
Beckett smiled: "Yes, after all these years, I am still the same, but Jack, you are different." If you had remained under my wing, you would have been even higher in status than Mather by now. β
Matther, who was standing in the doorway, raised his chin slightly.
His pride had been slightly damaged, and he didn't want to be compared to a dirty, mad pirate.
Jack grinned, "Unfortunately, I've never liked rules. How about I pick a glass of wine and you drink it? β
Beckett smiled faintly: "Yes." β
Jack rolled his finger, "This glass...... No, this cup...... Well, that cup, well, it's still the first one, no, no, the second one! Wait a minute! I think you deserve a third drink. β
Xu Feng walked over, picked up a cup directly, and drank it all.
Jack was taken aback, "Maple Blossom! You're going to be poisoned! β
Xu Feng smiled: "Don't worry, Jack, just like Beckett said, if he wants to kill us, he doesn't need to be so troublesome at all, his Struggle's cannon can already smash our Hongmao." β
Jack shrugged, "Okay. β
After saying that, Jack also grabbed a wine glass and drank the red wine inside.
Beckett smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one fell swoop.
Jack took the silver wine glass into his arms, "Alright, the reunion wine is also finished, now, send us away." β
