Chapter 189 Zheng He's Voyage to the West and One Piece
Jack took back his ship and was happy on the sea, which proves that the first part of the Pirates of the Caribbean, the cursed gold coins, has ended.
Russell roughly inferred from Xiaofeng’s information that the current timeline is between the second part, but the third part definitely did not begin.
Also, Xiaofeng's information is a bit inaccurate. Captain Jack will never be free and happy. His deal with David Jones is about to expire. He will work on the flying Dutchman for 100 years. He must have his hair become almost in the Mediterranean.
David Jones is a sea demon and a strong man that all pirates are unwilling to provoke. The reason why Jack made a deal with him was actually due to Lord Beckett, chairman of the East India Company.
Back then, Jack's son inherited his father's business and became the wealthy Caribbean Pirate King, but he was keen on adventures and did not like killing and looting, and could not bring treasures to his subordinates, so he lived a very down-and-out life and had to go to the East India Company to find a job.
There is a trading ship under the East India Company called ‘the Wicked Wench’. It translates into Chinese. It sounds better to be called ‘bad girl’, and if it is less likely to be called ‘the girl with bad character’, and for short, it is called ‘the girl with bad character’, abbreviated as ‘the girl with imperfections’.
Jack became the captain of the ship and transported a batch of goods from Africa on Beckett's order. He discovered that the so-called goods were actually African slaves, and he let them go out of a sense of justice.
Jack paid the price for his actions. He was sent to prison by Lord Beckett and branded with a 'P' tattoo symbolizing the pirates. The bad girl was also ordered to be destroyed and sunk to the bottom of the sea by Lord Beckett.
After Jack escaped from prison, he decided to retrieve his ship. He made a deal with David Jones on the condition that David Jones helped him save the bad girl in the sinking sea. After 13 years of becoming the captain, his soul would serve on the flying Dutchman for 100 years.
David Jones agreed, and he helped Jack save the bad girl and renamed it - Black Pearl!
To be honest, Jack made a big deal in this deal, he got the fastest ship on the Caribbean, and David Jones got only one dispensable soul.
But the bad thing is in the middle. The blood of the adventurer flowed in Jack's body. He was not interested in plundering and treasures, and enjoyed the adventure process. Therefore, no one was willing to do it with him. After two years of being the captain, he owed a lot of debts, and his enemies even messed with him.
Finally, the man appeared...
Hector Barbosa!
Barbosa, like Jack, is one of the nine pirate kings, but his territory is not as rich as the Caribbean and a little bit off. He is the pirate king of the Caspian Sea.
What the hell is the Caspian Sea?
It cannot even be called a sea, a lake, the largest saltwater lake in the world. It can be imagined that Barbosa can make a fortune in the Caspian Sea, so he went bankrupt early and joined Jack as the first mate, the second in command of the Black Pearl.
There are two pirate kings on a ship, and they are destined to be at the rhythm of one. Jack, who cannot bring wealth to everyone, was abandoned by the crew and was exiled to a deserted island with a flintlock pistol with only one bullet.
Needless to say, Jack took back the Black Pearl in 10 years and killed Barbosa with that pistol.
As the captain of the Black Pearl again, Jack started a new adventure happily. Sadly, he calculated with his fingers and said, "Damn it, it's time to pay off his debts."
Speaking of paying off debts, Jack thought of the first thing he wanted was to pay back the debt. Rum and adventure were still waiting for him. He couldn't just die like that. But David Jones was not easy to mess with. He could only hide from all over the world and fool the crew into running around.
So, he must be hiding in some pirates now as a savage. As for the inland... that's impossible. If you can't see the sea for a day, Jack will feel uncomfortable all over.
"I need to know his specific location now if someone collects information about Jack Sparrow." Russell rubbed the cat and issued an order. The world mission was not yet clear. Based on the accumulated experience, the protagonist or the person around the protagonist is the group that is most likely to trigger the world mission.
He wants to see Jack!
"Yes, sir!"
Xiaofeng and Tae-huang bowed and left the room, leaving the twin sisters Lian and Park to take care of Russell's daily life. Russell did not intend to be a fellow Xiaofeng, so he waved his hand to let the two girls retreat and began to study the sea map in the center of the house.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Xiaofeng had a treasured world map in his hand, recording many incredible treasures on the sea. For example, the route to the end of the world, David Jones's Demon Prison, and... the Fountain of the Undying!
It is indeed a very attractive word to keep youth forever.
Russell touched his chin, and it seemed that the fourth part of the movie revolved around the fountain of the old age. Unfortunately, the plot collapsed and lost the charm of the first three. He only watched it once, and he had forgotten almost the details.
The fifth part, the Sea King Trident, is the worst part of the Caribbean Pirates, it’s better not to mention it.
"That Sea Emperor Trident must be a glass product. Poseidon is so miserable. No wonder Zeus suppressed it and couldn't turn over. Such a fragile weapon deserves to be hung up and beaten by his younger brother. Ah hahaha...ha..."
(One`'One)
"Ah, if there are Poseidon and Zeus, wouldn't this world be very dangerous!"
Russell calmed down and suddenly realized that the water depth of the world was very deep, because the theme had been revolving around the adventures of pirates, and he signaled that he ignored the existence of the gods.
"It's going to be! But I seem to want that trident. What should I do?"
Russell's life motto is that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he will develop vulgarly until he eats chickens, but the level of the world he comes into contact with is getting higher and higher, and the uneasiness in his heart becomes stronger and stronger.
Character cards and skill cards are indeed powerful, but the time limit is disgusting. As for improving one's strength... Russell has been working hard, but the road to a strong man is not overnight. Selling his soul to the devil may be powerful in an instant, but what's the point?
"Sure enough, I still have to go and try to win a trident. If I can trigger the lottery, I will earn it by getting Poseidon's character card." Russell was stroking the cat while calculating the risks and benefits. The two little Russells fought in the heart.
Russell Gouxue: "Give up, that's Poseidon's artifact after all, and getting it is definitely not as easy as in the movie!"
Hot-blooded Russell: "You don't need to get it, just lean over and rub it. It's very simple."
"There are gods in this world. Do you just want to die like that?"
"Sorry, the god you are referring to is the female sea god sealed by pirates?"
"It's Poseidon, the Sea King in Greek mythology!"
"Stop making trouble. He never showed up in the movie from beginning to end. Maybe there has been a twilight of Ragnarokia in this world..."
"That might be, what if he is still alive?"
"How could there be so much if it's all!"
"It's true, the name Russell can always be encountered if it happens."
"What is this? It seems to be cursed!"
“…”
Just as Russell was hesitating, Xiaofeng presented it to him with a navigation chart and said respectfully: "Sir, please see, this is the Mao Kun map passed down by my ancestors!"
Xiaofeng put the chart on the table, turned it on and rotated according to the mechanism, and the map changed accordingly, revealing the routes and destinations.
Russell's eyes are full of colors. The map is drawn on the slender bamboo slips, which is very oriental, with Chinese characters and notes on it. Not only are there familiar words such as the words "Architecture, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise", but also the mountains, rivers and rivers with rich in ink style, as well as portraits and monster patterns.
"You said that this chart is Mao Kun Tu, then... who is Mao Kun?"
Russell frowned. The structure of this chart is inconsistent with the gossip. It is obviously Made in China. Mao Kun is definitely not an unknown person.
Xiaofeng's eyes twitched, his hands arched, and buried his head deeply: "Sir, the Mao Kun map is... Zheng He's navigation map!"
Russell: "…"
Then just say that Zheng He’s navigation chart is over. I think he’s talking about Mao Kun. I thought he was a calligrapher!
Also, why are you not daring to look at me with your head down? You are smiling secretly, right!
Russell's eyes were not good, and Xiaofeng was clearly planning to make him make a fool of himself. Such unhealthy trends and evil spirits must not be allowed to grow. They must be beaten hard... Cough cough, beat him hard.
A cold wind blew, and the roaring wind shivered suddenly and said hurriedly: "Please know that Zheng He encountered many strange and terrifying sea areas while sailing. He personally drew a series of sea charts based on local myths and legends. Later, he found a skilled craftsman and integrated these routes that did not exist on the sea with the Episodes of the Book of Changes to create this ingenious Mao Kun map."
What about teasing me? Is Zheng He going to the West for a risk?
You are talking about One piece, that world with great routes and the dragon people.
Russell waved his hand, a magical world with the real world as the background, and there was no need to pay too much attention to the details. If it was really unreasonable, Captain Jack's age was the real mystery!
"This chart was passed down from your ancestors. Is there anyone in your family tree that has something to do with Zheng He?" Russell looked at Xiaofeng in surprise. The eunuch of the Sanbao was no successor, and the descendants actually had pirates.
"It's not so. The young man wanted to get along with that person, but..." Xiaofeng raised his head, felt embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "To be honest, this picture was obtained by my father in the South China Sea. He happened to meet a merchant ship while sailing. A merchant admired him for a long time, so he gave it to him...."
I believe you!
