Chapter 78 Reunion After Ten Years
.,!
In the subsequent solicitations, no special talents appeared. The only noteworthy thing was that Fang Senyan found a drunken drunkard on the island. This guy could perform simple repairs on the +7 Wesson, barely restoring its durability by 30%. Fang Senyan was finally spared from ruining a weapon. And this guy seemed to be quite proficient in repairing cannons, so Fang Senyan simply hired him as a special talent.
After staying on Triangle Island for two days, Fang Senyan sold a lot of the rum and supplies transported on the Dingyuan, all of which were seized from the Gypsies, making them practically cost-free. At this time, there were many pirates on Triangle Island who were worried and dejected, precisely the kind who needed a drink to drown their sorrows, so Fang Senyan made a fortune by reselling these goods.
One day, while Fang Senyan was reorganizing his unruly new subordinates, another fully loaded merchant ship swayed into the port. A group of pirate ships with black sails circled around it like flies that had spotted rotten meat, yet they didn't dare to attack. Because they recognized the flag on this merchant ship.
This merchant ship had apparently heard of the thriving life on Triangle Island, so it brought a large quantity of cheap rum, grilled meat, and gambling equipment. Naturally, this merchant ship was highly sought after, and its goods were swept away.
Strictly speaking, the owner of this merchant ship was also acquainted with Fang Senyan. It was none other than Mr. McKinnie, the representative of Governor Swann. Faced with the powerful Norrington, Governor Swann had to make a fortune before this guy returned. As the saying goes, a 500% profit can make capitalists risk the gallows.
After thinking for a while, Fang Senyan visited Mr. McKinnie, relying on their previous acquaintance, and obtained definite news:
Commodore Norrington will be officially appointed as a brigadier general the day after tomorrow. Governor Swann will represent the British government in bestowing honors and a sword. At this time, Port Royal has entered a state of intense preparation. Of course, to avoid retaliatory destruction by pirates, Norrington's fleet is also spread around the waters of Port Royal, carefully checking any three-masted ships (or ships with more than three masts).
Of course, they don't not want to check single-masted ships, but these ships are usually fishing boats, and checking them would require too much work and easily arouse public resentment. At the same time, even if someone has bad intentions, single-masted ships can't cause much trouble, so they just turn a blind eye.
After hearing this news, Fang Senyan was not surprised at all. After thinking for a while, he stuffed hundreds of pounds to Mr. McKinnie, requesting to return to Port Royal with the merchant ship, claiming that he had an important business deal that he had to rush back for.
Mr. McKinnie, of course, scoffed at Fang Senyan's words and didn't quite believe them, but he didn't believe that Fang Senyan would dare to run to Commodore Norrington's inauguration ceremony single-handedly with a few subordinates, so he accepted Fang Senyan's proposal, conveniently pocketing those hundreds of gold pounds. Then, he left behind the personnel who continued to sell goods and set sail. As Governor Swann's chief confidant, he also had to attend Mr. Norrington's inauguration ceremony.
On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the sea and sky were connected as one. People said that even the sky was rejoicing for Commodore Norrington's promotion. Fang Senyan had previously sent two pirates to accompany Mr. Gibbs to chat and spend their days in the tavern. Now that they arrived in Port Royal, they reunited with him. Fang Senyan hadn't said much or made any requests of Mr. Gibbs recently, and Mr. Gibbs was happy to remain confused. Anyway, Fang Senyan would pay the bills in the bar.
At Fang Senyan's invitation, they came to fish next to a promontory outside Port Royal. This place was full of dangerous shoals and rocks. Between the reefs several nautical miles away, there was a beam hanging with three skeletons swaying in the wind, occasionally making creaking sounds. The noose around their necks seemed to be about to break and fall off at any time, and their tibia bones may have been cut off or fallen into the sea and could not be found. Next to it was a warning sign:
This is the end of the damned pirates.
To be honest, Gibbs was quite dissatisfied with Fang Senyan's arrangement this time. He thought that rum and the breasts and buttocks of young girls were much more interesting than fishing under the damned sun, but Fang Senyan insisted that a rare and precious fish could be caught during this time period, so Gibbs, who was short on hands and mouths, could only follow reluctantly.
Fang Senyan noticed one thing, that is, on the sea in the distance, there were also white sails dotted, although they were all single-masted ships, they were obviously waiting for something. To be honest, this was not a good season for fishing. Mr. Gibbs also felt very surprised by this abnormal phenomenon, so he still believed Fang Senyan's nonsense about the "precious fish".
There is no doubt that only Fang Senyan knew that these people were Contractors, and they also knew the fact that Jack Sparrow would appear here, so they still planned to try their luck to see if it was possible to recruit this charming and elegant legendary figure, at least to become familiar with him.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the sun began to show its power. None of the group caught any precious fish, but pomfrets and the like were constantly being hooked. At this moment, a line of broken sails suddenly appeared on the distant ocean, truly broken sails. Fang Senyan narrowed his eyes slightly, but continued to fish as if nothing had happened. The white sails in the distance immediately gathered around, and even began to curse and fight each other for the competition, fighting fiercely.
However, at this time, Jack Sparrow obviously didn't want to entangle with these people. On the sea, the former captain of the Black Pearl was the symbol of speed. Although the small boat he was riding was old and leaked so badly that he had to scoop water out of it every now and then, its speed suddenly increased, and like a slippery loach, it instantly shuttled through the encirclement and interception of those white sails, slowly sailing towards this cape, its destination obviously Port Royal.
Fang Senyan was still fishing as if nothing had happened, but at this time, Mr. Gibbs, who had roughly seen the ship in the distance, had already opened his eyes wide, and his fishing rod had fallen into the water.
When that very dilapidated small boat began to sail nimbly, Gibbs, who was already absent-minded, had noticed the scene in the distance. At this time, when Jack Sparrow sailed towards this side, he had already opened his mouth wide and became excited.
"Ja-Ja-Ja-Ja-Ja-Jack!!!!"
Then he ran desperately to the side of the cape and waved. Perhaps because these two good friends were connected in their hearts, Jack Sparrow also looked over here, and when he sailed closer, he made an exaggerated expression on his face, and also revealed a surprised and happy look:
"Gibbs!! What is this old dog doing here?"
(Note: Westerners calling someone an old dog means loyalty, a complimentary term. For example, there is a very classic line in Karazhan that old players must remember clearly. Netherspite yells: The old dog still has some teeth!)
Gibbs grinned and chuckled:
"Boss, why can't I be here? It's great that you're okay. Those damned bastards should all go to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish."
Jack Sparrow shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands:
"Oh, even if the world is destroyed, I will be fine. Who is this... Could it be that the salty sea breeze has caused something to go wrong with my eyes, why does this gentleman look a little familiar?"
Fang Senyan smiled:
"Mr. Sparrow, ten years ago, in a bar in Tortuga, we met once. At that time, we had an in-depth discussion about the lines and flesh of women."
Jack Sparrow was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and said:
"Oh... so it's you, this guy! Rock, the sailor from the East! I heard that you are Davy Jones' first mate?"
"Dear Captain Sparrow, I returned to the East shortly after separating from you because of the curse of the Flying Dutchman, and then I only came back now." Fang Senyan first stated his current position.
He knew that Jack Sparrow had once owed Davy Jones a promise: Davy Jones used the Kraken to help salvage the sunken Black Pearl, and ten years later, Jack Sparrow had to serve on the Flying Dutchman for a hundred years.
As far as Fang Senyan knew, Jack Sparrow didn't intend to keep this promise, or to put it bluntly, his plan was to default on the debt, but he had no intention of getting involved in the messy debt between these two giants. Fang Senyan casually took out two bottles of rum and threw them to Jack and Gibbs:
"To be honest, I'm here specifically to wait for you, Mr. Sparrow."
Jack Sparrow gulped down several mouthfuls, exhaled a mouthful of alcohol, and wondered:
"Wait for me? You know I'm coming here?"
Fang Senyan nodded:
"Yes."
Captain Jack was even more curious:
"How is it possible to know this?"
Fang Senyan raised his hand, and Daiqisi, wearing a veil, came out and nodded slightly:
"This is a powerful diviner among the Gypsies. She spent a lot of effort and cost to divine it."
According to Fang Senyan's instructions, Daiqisi bowed gracefully and said:
"Mr. Jack Sparrow, it's really not easy to see the short-term direction of your destiny clearly. I paid a huge price for this."
Jack reached out and straightened his mustache:
"It makes sense to say it this way, so you really have something to do with me?"
