Chapter 60 The Sinking of the Black Pearl
"You want to exchange the lives of thousands of people for yours, can your conscience accept it?"
Sparrow moved the corner of his mouth, squinted away from Tang Sen's sight, and said: "I have no problem at all!"
Tang Sen just smiled and said: "I will use your proposal as a backup plan... No, a backup plan of a backup plan."
"Captain Sparrow, let me answer your previous question about your use value." He changed the subject and said slowly: "This is also the reason why I have kept you in the fleet."
"Your value lies in the bond between you and Davy Jones."
"I'm not, I don't!" Sparrow said quickly: "I don't even know him!"
"You have a debt, Captain Sparrow." Townsend said: "The pirate ship under our feet was once a trading ship of the East India Company. It was later burned and sank to the bottom of the sea. You made a deal with Davy Jones to let
He salvaged the ship."
"You put a black sail on the ship, named it the Black Pearl, and started your pirate career."
"Davy Jones promised to let you be the captain for thirteen years, and then you need to serve on the Flying Dutchman for one hundred years. Now, the thirteen years are almost here, right?"
"It's almost there, but it's not quite there yet." Sparrow said: "So, I don't need to pay off the debt yet, and Davy Jones won't pay attention to me."
Townsend chuckled lightly and said: "Captain Sparrow, if you have been living well, Davy Jones will certainly not care about you now."
"But if he senses that his debtor is about to die, I'm afraid he will be happy to collect his debt in advance. The Flying Dutchman will always need crew members, right?"
"In fact, Captain Sparrow." Townsend said: "Compared to a thousand lives, I think you are a greater temptation to Davy Jones."
"What if Davy Jones can't predict? What if his ability to predict only targets people who are destined to die at sea?" Sparrow struggled.
Townsend did not answer him, but turned to Tom and said: "Go drill a hole in the cabin of the Black Pearl. I need it to sink, but not quickly."
Tom nodded and said: "It's very simple. In fact, many ships sink not just in a moment. If the leakage position of the hull is cleverly opened, a ship can support it for a long time, for example... three days."
"Three days? We have been chasing the Flying Dutchman for so long, I think three days is enough time for him to catch up."
Only then did Townsend turn around and answer Jack Sparrow's question.
"If he doesn't come, then you are destined to die at sea." He said solemnly: "This is an interesting paradox, isn't it?"
"You are gambling!" Sparrow completely lost his cool. He knew that the Eastern man in front of him could do such a thing. During this voyage, he had already seen the opponent's methods.
In Sparrow's life, he encountered countless desperate situations of life and death. Each time he was able to escape death through his wit or luck. However, in front of the Eastern people, his cleverness was of no use. The other party used the most simple and unpretentious
He was brutally suppressed by force and never gave him any chance. He sadly realized that if nothing unexpected happened, something would happen to him.
"I admit that I am gambling."
Tang Sen turned around and left the Black Pearl.
"If I lose the bet, I can only say...Captain Sparrow's life was a magnificent one."
"I'm sorry."
......
The fleet dispersed and formed a circle, far away from the Black Pearl.
Everyone was talking about what Captain Jack Sparrow had done to offend Mr. Tang, so that Mr. Tang wanted to punish him with such cruel behavior.
They felt chills all over when they thought about what it would be like to be tied to a slowly sinking ship and have no choice but to wait for death.
Especially the pirates, they have a new understanding of Mr. Tang's methods. Obviously, they are more honest than before. In the past two days, they have not even had daily fights and noises. The decks of several pirate ships have been wiped clean.
It's so clean that it can reflect their ugly and nervous faces.
Townsend no longer paid attention to the Black Pearl. Tom would arrange for soldiers to watch him 24 hours a day to prevent the other party from breaking away from the rope through some unknown method. In addition, Townsend did not plan to do anything to Jack Sparrow.
make any interference in the ending.
As he said, if Davy Jones does not show up, then his debtor is destined to die here.
As for Sparrow's fate in the original work, he should have lived longer?
It's a pity that now that he has come to this world, Tang Sen likes to hold the power to control his destiny in his own hands, whether it is his own destiny or the destiny of Jack Sparrow.
Or, the fate of Davy Jones.
Time soon came to the third day.
The first thing the Black Pearl sank was the stern, as if a pair of giant hands on the bottom of the sea grabbed her, causing the entire bow to tilt up and leave the water, exposing the barnacles and moss on the bottom of the ship.
Jack Sparrow was already very weak. Although he was lucky enough to have a rain to replenish some water, he had not eaten for three days, making him look like a suffocating sea fish.
"Next, the ship will sink very quickly." Tom stood next to Tang Sen with a telescope and said: "In a few minutes, half of the Black Pearl will sink. In ten minutes, this legendary pirate ship will sink."
Completely disappeared under the sea level."
"In fact, within ten minutes, Jack Sparrow had already drowned."
Tang Sen said nothing, just quietly observing the sea level near the Black Pearl.
He is killing a legendary pirate, not only in this world, but also in the real world. Jack Sparrow is also famous and has countless fans, but Townsend has no regrets.
Jack Sparrow is not a good person, and he obviously is not either.
"It seems that Davy Jones didn't come." Seeing that most of the Black Pearl's hull had sunk into the water, and Jack Sparrow was submerged in the sea, Tom sighed: "It doesn't matter if a pirate dies.
, it’s just a pity that a good ship was lost.”
"This is the fastest boat in the Caribbean."
"Really?"
Tang Sen's back suddenly straightened: "Tom, have you noticed that the sinking of the Black Pearl has stopped?"
"Huh?" Tom rubbed his eyes and looked at the Black Pearl again.
Not only did it stop, the black pirate ship was slowly rising. Jack Sparrow resurfaced and coughed twice violently.
"Damn -" Tom's pupils shrank and he looked at Tang Sen reflexively.
"It seems that I won the bet."
Tang Sen took a deep breath and suddenly raised his voice:
"Our guests are here!"
