Chapter 1 Doubt

Undoubtedly, if Fang Senyan requested to train with the pirates Crow and Sata, they would certainly not refuse. However, Fang Senyan was also helplessly certain that even if he spent more time training with them, he would not improve in the slightest. This was because his starting point was too low, his foundation too weak. It was like a man, even if he claimed to have slept with countless women and never failed in bed, being transported into the body of a five- or six-year-old boy, facing a beautiful woman ready to be plucked, he would be powerless.

"I'm afraid I'm exploring the plot too far ahead," Fang Senyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He hadn't expected that it would backfire. Under normal circumstances, being able to become the boatswain of the Bell and Mug was the limit in this world, so he could learn from pirates with lower status than himself. But where was he? The Flying Dutchman, one of the three legendary pirate ships! Naturally, Fang Senyan couldn't take shortcuts to learn. He believed that if Fang Senyan wasn't good at organization, dispatch, and exploration, Davy Jones wouldn't have given him the position of temporary third mate.

After sending the two pirates away, Fang Senyan fell onto the bunk in the cabin and fell into a deep sleep. He had been mentally and physically exhausted this night, and after all this hard work, he couldn't help but feel that he had gained little, and with some regrets in his heart, he fell asleep. However, Fang Senyan was also very careful. Before going to sleep, he placed a sheathed sailor's knife behind the cabin door. At this time, the Flying Dutchman had dropped anchor and was moored at sea, and the wind and waves were not strong, so the ship was very stable. Therefore, if there was any movement at the cabin door, it would inevitably push the sailor's knife over and make a sound.

Fang Senyan's sleep was not very restful. The root cause was Davy Jones. Obviously, he had a close relationship with the Fogg family, and don't forget, the current Mrs. Fogg died at Fang Senyan's hands! Although Fang Senyan believed that he had done this without anyone knowing, Davy Jones's personal strength was already as deep as the sea. His subsequent identity was even connected to the underworld and the world of the living, ferrying the souls of drowned sailors. It was hard to say whether he had some strange abilities now. Facing such a monster, Fang Senyan had no confidence in keeping his secret. Once this matter was exposed, who knew what the consequences would be? Under such circumstances, Fang Senyan was naturally careful and cautious.

In a daze, Fang Senyan suddenly heard a "clang," as if something had fallen, and bounced a few times on the ground. He immediately jumped up from the bunk instinctively. When he jumped up, his eyes opened, and he saw that the wooden bolt of the cabin door had been opened. The sheathed sailor's knife had fallen to the ground, and the cabin door was ajar, slightly shaking open, and a figure in gray clothes was rushing out.

A sharp glint flashed in Fang Senyan's eyes, and he immediately jumped up from the bunk and leaned forward to chase after him. Obviously, if Davy Jones wanted to harm him, he wouldn't need to be so secretive. That is to say, this person's actions were done behind Davy Jones's back! For some reason, he suddenly remembered the sharp gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate his internal organs when he first boarded the ship!

At this time, the figure in front of him had been tightly bitten by Fang Senyan. The two were only five or six meters apart. As long as they encountered any pirate on this crowded pirate ship, they would definitely help Fang Senyan, who was already the new third mate, rather than the guy in front. So Fang Senyan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the fleeing guy in front of him as if he had seen something in his pocket.

But at this moment, a loud noise suddenly rang in Fang Senyan's ears! Then the entire hull of the Flying Dutchman swayed to one side, shifting sideways by at least two or three meters! And he staggered almost to the ground. Fang Senyan was no stranger to such a scene. It was a sign that the broadside cannons of the pirate ship were firing at the same time!

………

In a sudden turn of events, Fang Senyan did not expect such an emergency. And his agility has never been his strength, so he staggered and almost fell. Taking advantage of this situation, the guy he was chasing jumped up very lightly, stepped on the bulkhead next to him, and leaped to a fork in the road. When Fang Senyan regained his balance, he had already disappeared.

At this time, Fang Senyan saw a corner of a sail in the distance, gradually driving out of the sea fog another magnificent and majestic warship, and even the Flying Dutchman could be on par. It was another legendary pirate ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge. Fang Senyan did not bother to pay attention to the person who had tried to assassinate him earlier. He immediately understood why he had not encountered anyone after chasing this guy so far. It turned out that the pirates had all gone to their posts to stand by! However… Fang Senyan still did not understand why the Queen Anne's Revenge would suddenly fight the Flying Dutchman.

The booming sound of artillery came again from the opposite side, it should be Blackbeard who ordered to fight back. But at this time Fang Senyan felt that something was wrong, because although the smell of gunpowder was very strong, there was a very important sign missing, that is, the splash of water from the shells. At this time, most of the shells were solid, so even if they missed and did not hit the ship, they would inevitably arouse high waves, but the two ships fired a round of broadsides, and the sea was still calm. This can only mean one thing: they are firing blanks at each other! Then, after thinking about it carefully, not to mention Fang Senyan, even a child would understand that this should be a salute to each other.

At this time, both sides began to wave flags to transmit information. After a while, the Queen Anne's Revenge approached, and then anchored two nautical miles away, dropping a small boat from it to take advantage of the wind. Fang Senyan could not see who was on the boat, but the pirates here stood solemnly on the deck. Although the clothing was ragged and the formation was scattered, they all looked a bit like the strictness of the British Navy, even the high-ranking Davy Jones stood on the deck, with his arms crossed in front of his chest with a nonchalant look. This scale of welcome clearly revealed the identity of the person who was about to be welcomed - the person who could make Davy Jones take the initiative to welcome was naturally Blackbeard, the captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Fang Senyan obviously felt that the next thing had nothing to do with him - what connection could the meeting of the two giants have with his small third mate - so he returned to the cabin again, but the things he was thinking about in his mind were naturally related to the person who attacked him. Fortunately, he is now also the third mate on the ship, even if he is new here and has no prestige, the division of labor to assist the navigator is very deterrent to most pirates.

The navigator's job is to be able to accurately find various routes in the vast sea. Some navigators can even draw charts and navigation routes, and sell them for a high price after they quit (by the way, children who think they might travel through time should carry a world map with them. If you really travel to the Middle Ages, this thing is priceless. Thousands of people even died for the route map of the Cape of Good Hope). Therefore, even if someone dies during the voyage, the navigator must give blessings, otherwise it will be considered that the soul cannot return to their hometown. Naturally, things related to the navigator will make most pirates feel mysterious and in awe.

With this identity and authority, Fang Senyan can naturally move freely on the ship. Although the Flying Dutchman is huge, as long as he calls the previous two local snake pirates, Mohan and Sata, and they accompany him, it will not take long to complete the search, and he will be able to easily find the guy who assassinated him. The most taboo thing for a person in a strange place is that the enemy is in the dark and he is in the light. Of course, Fang Senyan will not make such a low-level mistake, because he has offended too many people in this world, so he must find out the hidden hostile forces as soon as possible, and then use his current status to deal with them!

However, just as Fang Senyan was about to go out to find someone, the second mate, Old Barry, came in with two people. He glanced at Fang Senyan, and that glance was very unhappy. In Fang Senyan's local dialect in the real world, it was "the eyelids only夹了半下."

"The boss called you, let you go right away."

Fang Senyan was stunned, but looking at the two burly and rude pirates next to him, he knew that the current situation was that he had to go whether he wanted to or not. He could only stand up and follow helplessly, but he had secretly prepared to return immediately once he was about to be attacked. He followed the three guys around the huge Flying Dutchman, and soon came to the outside of Davy Jones's captain's room. Including Old Barry, they all stood at the door, with a gloomy face, raised his chin and motioned Fang Senyan to go in.

Davy Jones's captain's room was quite spacious. The surrounding wooden planks were made of thick pine wood. There was a smell of tobacco mixed with rum. There was a bunk, a storage box, maps and charts in the inner room, an oil painting of the 'Sea Unicorn', and a row of nautical logs on a shelf. On the solid beech wood table in front of him was a tobacco pouch. Fang Senyan had also seen it in the real world. It was made of seal skin - the kind of unprocessed seal skin with hair, with a leather rope to tie it. It is said that this kind of tobacco pouch can successfully prevent the tobacco from getting damp and increase the fragrance.
