Chapter 192 The choice that affects life
13 years ago, Pirates of the Caribbean 1 started, in order to fish out his love ship from the seabed, Jack had no choice but to turn to David Jones, the king of the sea monster.
He and David Jones made a contract. Thirteen years after regaining the Black Pearl, he had to work for David Jones on the flying Dutchman for a period of one hundred years.
In fact, Jack only served as the captain of the Black Pearl for three years, so Barbosa persuaded the sailors to overthrow him. It took Jack a full 10 years before he recaptured the Black Pearl.
The 13-year deadline has passed, and David Jones began searching for Jack's whereabouts on the sea, forcing him to fulfill his promise.
The one sent by David Jones to inform Jack was Will Turner's father, whose real name was William Turner's boots and Bill.
It was at that time that Jack should have obtained this rusty short knife from Bill.
The flying Dutchman is a cursed ghost ship. Anyone who works on the ship will gradually lose his appearance and become neither human nor ghost.
The task David Jones received from Calypso was to help her extradite the soul who died on the sea.
Every ten years of work can only be exchanged for the opportunity to go ashore to meet your lover one day, and David Jones cherishes this day especially.
However, because of his excessively free and unrestrained nature, Calypso added green light to David Jones' head on the agreed meeting day, and he forgot about this at all.
Failed to wait for Calypso to arrive, David Jones felt deceived and betrayed.
He angrily gave up his job of extraditioning the dead, and since then he drove the flying Dutchman to become a curse legend on the sea.
Because he betrayed his mission, all crew members, including Captain David Jones, were cursed and turned into terrifying sea monsters, and David Jones was the leader of these sea monsters.
Jack hasn't been waving enough yet, and he can't stand it from now on, only living as a sea monster, trying every means to get rid of David Jones' pursuit.
Transferring Bill's knife to Will was one of his plans to invade the East.
Jack, who is in crisis, begins to reveal his pirate nature, and his selfish nature prevails. Will would rather betray the innocent Will than be caught by David Jones.
This knife is a bait that lures Will, who wants to know where his father is going, goes out to sea to find the flying Dutchman.
“Ha~”
Xin Sheng looked through the worn-out little knife: "Did he ask you to pass on what words to that ghost ship?"
Will looked at Xin Sheng in shock: "That's right, he asked me to tell the captain of the ghost ship that I was on his behalf to deal with the debt."
‘My heart is dark enough.’
Jack's move clearly wanted Will, who was unsure of the truth, to take the blame for him and continue to be free.
After Xin Sheng told Will the truth he knew, Will was not the first thing he could do in the future, but the truth about Bill.
"So, my father really works on that ghost ship?"
Xin Sheng sighed: "Yes, at least Jack didn't lie at this point."
"A treacherous and selfish pirate!"
Angelica interrupted angrily: "Will his conscience hurt if he actually let innocent people bear the blame on his behalf?!"
Although we didn't meet for a long time, Angelica had a good impression of Will, who was honest and honest, and she was very disgusted with the pirate Jack who appeared in him and Xin Sheng.
"Angelica, quiet."
Xin Sheng stopped Angelica's anger and looked at Will with a changeable expression and asked solemnly: "Will, put aside Jack's temptation, what do you want to do?"
"Does it be that you completely forget all your connection with the pirate father and live an ordinary and stable life from now on, or..."
Will was a little unsure of attention for a moment.
He had a premonition that based on the differences in his choice this time, his life would go in two completely different directions.
"Let me think about it again."
Xin Sheng did not urge Will to make a decision and patted his shoulder heavily.
"The Jackdaw will stay at the port for three days. If you finally decide to go to sea, you will be responsible for receiving you at the dock before 8 a.m. three days later."
Will barely smiled: "Thank you, Xin."
...
"Xin, is this really good?"
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Angelica asked with some depression: "Didn't that blacksmith named Will have always had a crush on the Governor's daughter?"
"If he chooses to leave Port Royal in the end, will the two of them never have a chance to see each other again?"
"Who knows."
Xin Sheng looked up at the blue sky: "A person needs to make countless choices in his life, and some of them will have a profound impact on his future life."
"Now Will is standing at an important turning point in his life. How to choose can only be decided by himself, and others cannot help."
“But it’s so sad.”
Angelica clasped her hands together and prayed silently: "I hope he can stay and continue to live an ordinary and stable life and reap his own happiness."
Xin Sheng shook his head helplessly: "Nine out of ten people are unsatisfactory in the world. How can everything go so easily?"
"Let's go and see Beckett's ruthless tricks, and then go to the Governor's House to say hello to Governor Swan. You should be able to see Will's sweetheart there."
...
"Vomit~"
After leaving the execution ground, Angelica held the wall with a pale face and retching.
Xin Sheng helped her pat her back to relieve her discomfort.
'Hanging is already a relatively civilized way of death. At least there will be no blood splashing out. If you see the beheading of China, it would be fine...'
"Is it better?"
"Woo... I still feel disgusting."
Angelica had never seen human death with her own eyes before.
When she escaped from the Red Neck Club with Xin Sheng, she only focused on rowing and did not see the enemies behind her who were shot by Xin Sheng.
"It's good if you get used to it. People will die. Those who commit pirate crimes are considered dead."
"I know, I just...a little uncomfortable."
Angelica wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and barely turned around to look at the square where the body was being cleaned.
This time she did not retching again. Although her face was still very ugly, she could at least look directly at the corpses covered with their heads.
"This is what pirates should have. Those who commit crimes should be punished by law. At least on this point, I agree with Beckett's approach... although his methods are a bit too extreme."
Not only did Beckett execute pirates who deserved guilt, but everyone who had contact with pirates was also involved, which was a bit too much.
Xin Sheng patted Angelica on the shoulder and led Pegas to her.
"Get on the horse, this is just the tip of the iceberg of this cruel world. You must learn to adapt to the rules of the world."
"We can't take care of you forever. Sooner or later, you need to leave Jackdaw to live alone, and learn and adapt to the common sense of the world as soon as possible."
‘Leave Jackdaw…?’
After being grabbed by Xin Sheng and sent to sit on the back of the horse, Angelica was a little distracted, her eyes changed for a while before she made up her mind.
"Xin, can you teach me fighting skills?"
Xin Sheng climbed onto Pegas's back in the stirrups, grabbed the reins' hands and protected Angelica in a safe small space.
Angelica's sudden request made Xin Sheng look shocked: "Fighting skills? Yes, but why did you suddenly want to learn to fight?"
Angelica turned her head forward and pointed the back of her head towards Xin Sheng.
"Because I don't want to be the one who drags his legs on the boat."
At an angle that Xin Sheng could not see, Angelica gritted her teeth and silently encouraged herself in her heart.
‘Especially, you don’t want to be regarded as a useless person who can give up at any time.’
