Chapter 377: Cruise Island
Elizabeth gave Captain Jack a blank look, "Then I won't marry you." ”
Captain Jack shrugged his shoulders, "It's really good to be kind, but I want to sacrifice myself because you are pitiful, I didn't expect you to appreciate it." ”
Elizabeth blinked and asked tentatively, "Jack, what would you think if I said, I adore you?" Now that Will is not here, will you take advantage of the danger? ”
Captain Jack grinned, "If you were to come to the door for nothing, what man would refuse?" ”
Elizabeth leaned towards Captain Jack, "Oh? Is it? ”
Captain Jack was about to reach out to hold Elizabeth, when he suddenly found that his palm was black again!
The three-day deadline has arrived!
Captain Jack was shocked, and he didn't have the heart to amuse Elizabeth, he sank his face and clenched his palms.
Elizabeth was stunned, and then said admiringly: "Jack, just now I just wanted to test you, to see if you are qualified to be my friend and Will's friend, to see if my and Will's efforts to you are worth it, I thought you would not be able to stand it, but I didn't expect that although you are very exaggerated on the surface, you are an upright person in your heart, I admire you!" ”
Jack opened his mouth, "Actually...... Ahem, yes, I'm a very decent person, and sometimes I can't even believe it. ”
Elizabeth was about to speak when she heard a sailor on the lookout shout loudly: "Island! See the island! ”
Elizabeth hurriedly opened the wish compass, and the needle of the compass pointed to the island.
"Cruise Island ......," Captain Jack gasped.
"You know the island?" Elizabeth asked.
James, who was scrubbing the deck next to him, smiled, "Who doesn't know about this famous island?" This is the place where the Span people first landed on the American continent, and there was a thriving Inca empire on the island, which was later slaughtered by the Span people. The Span people wanted to see a military fort here, but because the wind and waves around were too strong to park their warships, they had to find another place. Since then, Cruise Island has been abandoned. ”
Elizabeth said in astonishment, "...... In other words, the aborigines of Cruise Island died in vain? ”
James shrugged, "It can't be considered a vain death, their property has been looted by the Span Tooth fleet, and it can be used for the Span Tooth royal family to squander for a month." ”
Elizabeth sighed and said: "This is too cruel, using so many people's lives, only in exchange for a month's squandering of the royal family, they are consuming gold there, they are clearly consuming human lives." ”
James smiled and said: "Miss, congratulations on seeing the essence of this world, the so-called Age of Discovery, in fact, is the era when big fish eat small fish, and small fish are eaten by big fish." If a small fish wants to become a big fish, it must first avoid the bigger fish and eat the smaller fish until you eat yourself into a big fish. The Inca Empire on Cruise Island has lagged behind in military power, and it is not tough enough in diplomacy and not broad enough in vision, even if they are not exterminated by the Spaniards, they will be exterminated by the Grapevines, and if they are not exterminated by the Grapevines, they will also be exterminated by our British Empire. ”
Elizabeth asked, "Is there no compromise?" Can't you just rob the treasure and then not kill the Incas? ”
James laughed: "First of all, the Incas were not sheep. Sheep can shear their sheep, and sheep will not resist. We robbed the Incas, and the Incas may not resist at first, but when their children and grandchildren come to their senses, they will inevitably rebel, and at that time, we have become accustomed to not working ourselves, but by cutting the wool of the Incas and other weak peoples, so when they resist, we will immediately weaken, and more empires will stand up behind us and take our place. Therefore, the solution to this problem once and for all is to destroy all the nations that may resist in the future, and if they cannot be destroyed, then shear the sheep as much as possible. ”
Elizabeth sighed heavily.
Captain Jack clapped his hands, "Alright, all ready to land!" James, take the shovel, Elizabeth, with the Compass of Wishes, by the way, I'm going to bring that jar of dirt! Although I don't know what exactly it is for. ”
The Black Pearl came to a halt near the shallow waters of Cruise Island.
Under Gibbs's command, a small ship was laid down on the Black Pearl, and Captain Jack, Elizabeth, James, and Ray and Pippy Sr. were all on board.
Gibbs stayed on guard on the ship in case of an emergency.
Emperor Xue and Lin Hai did not get off the ship either, their goal was never to gather the soul coffin, but to the Seagod Beast.
They had been recuperating all their energy just to wait for the arrival of the Seagod Beast.
Lao Lei and Xiaopi rowed a boat, chatting non-stop along the way.
Finally rowed to Cruise Island, Old Ray and Little Skin were about to follow Jack and the others to the island, but Jack stopped them, "You two stay here to guard the boat, and my dirt." ”
“…… Be. "Old Lei and Little Skin can only obey.
Elizabeth took the compass of wishes and walked in the direction of the pointer.
Jack and James followed with shovels.
Elizabeth walked for more than ten minutes before suddenly stopping.
"That's not right!" Elizabeth angrily dropped the wish compass, "The pointer has been spinning in circles since it got here!" No directions at all! ”
Jack glanced at the compass and grinned, "Dear Elizabeth, it's not that the wish compass is broken, it's not that your wish is messed up, but that we have found it." If I'm right, the Soul Gathering Coffin is at your feet. ”
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, then moved out of the way.
Captain Jack smiled and said to James, "Mr. Commodore General, it's time for you to dig." ”
James frowned and said, "Why am I digging alone?" ”
Captain Jack said as a matter of course: "Elizabeth is a girl, you can't let a girl dig it, right?" ”
James said: "It's true that Elizabeth is a girl, but what about you? Are you a girl too? ”
Captain Jack said with a pompous expression: "Of course I'm not, but I'm your captain, and as a captain, I don't need to work myself." ”
James smiled wryly and said, "Then why do you bother with those two shovels?" ”
Captain Jack said solemnly: "This is called being prepared, in case the one in your hand is broken, you can change it and continue digging." ”
"......" James grabbed the shovel helplessly and dug it hard.
On the beach, Old Ray and Little Pi, who were looking after the boat, complained to each other:
"Jack actually told us to keep an eye on the ship? We're the best pirates of all! He actually let us see the boat! ”
"Yes, I miss our oracle! It's a pity that the Divine Messenger has taken the Flying Dutchman, you say, will the Divine Envoy already be? ”
"Impossible! Don't think so, God made him a messenger of God, and nothing could happen. Xiaopi said with a serious face: "Okay, I want to pray seriously now, I hope we can see the divine messenger as soon as possible." ”
As he spoke, a large ship without a flag appeared from the other side of Cruise Island.
This big ship without a flag is none other than the Flying Dutchman.
