Chapter 3943 A Glorious Future
"...Your Majesty, Admiral Li has made formal contact with the new captain of the Black Pearl. From the initial impressions, Admiral Li and the new captain seem to get along very well."
A fleeting sound suddenly rang out.
In a quiet courtyard, no one expected that the head of the Pirate Alliance headquarters, the nominal "King of Pirates," would be rolling up his sleeves and turning over the soil.
The purpose of turning the soil was simply to turn the soil—a small plot of land cleared out in the quiet courtyard was not planted with any crops.
You can even see the Pirate King sweating profusely... simple, or simply like a farmer.
"It seems Hua Mei has a good impression of this Captain Luo." Zhang Bolu chuckled, but his hoe showed no sign of stopping.
"Yes," the ethereal voice said slowly, "Admiral Li even invited him to his home for dinner."
It was obvious that the Pirate King's movements of turning the soil became slightly less smooth... Zhang Bolu simply stopped, took off his straw hat, wiped away his sweat, and slowly said, "This is something new."
"Let's explore some more," Zhang Bolu waved his hand. "I still need to finish turning over the rest of the soil today."
...and that fleeting sound never rang out again.
In this quiet courtyard, the only sounds are the constant turning of soil and the chirping of insects.
……
……
"Hahahaha! This is definitely more fun!"
"Yeah, after robbing so much money, if we don't order takeout, we really don't know how to spend it!"
The Black Pearl was quite lively at this time, with wine, meat, and women. The pirate sailors were all talented, and any one of them could play several musical instruments.
So a carnival-like event was set up—after all, the captain wasn't there, and he didn't forbid it—and most importantly, this was how they did things when Captain Jack Sparrow was in charge!
On the deck, everyone was singing and dancing, but the sailor Jack on the figurehead was cursing and swearing!
Suddenly, a small figure swiftly vaulted over the railing and nimbly climbed to Sailor Jack's side... accompanied by chirping sounds.
It was a handsome, brown-haired monkey with delicate features, wearing a red vest, and holding a green apple that had been bitten a few times!
"Oh, my little darling, I knew I hadn't spoiled you for nothing!" Sailor Jack's eyes lit up the moment he saw the monkey. "Did you get the stuff?"
Then the monkey pulled out a dark blue pearl, about the size of a ping-pong ball, from its vest.
—Thank goodness I hid it and didn't hand it over...
Sailor Jack narrowed his eyes. "Quick! Get it in my hands!"
What Sailor Jack couldn't understand was that the rope binding him was just an ordinary rope—how could it actually bind this legendary pirate who had traversed countless lands?
Shouldn't the rope break down with the slightest strain?
His arms were clenching so hard they felt like their veins were about to burst, but the rope was only tightening around them... That's going too far!
Just when he was about to get the pearl, the brown-furred monkey suddenly jumped onto his head and squatted there without making any further moves.
Sailor Jack couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I said put it in my palm, not on top of your head! You stupid monkey!"
Bah——! !
The monkey immediately unleashed a barrage of attacks on Sailor Jack's head.
Sailor Jack was furious, but he dared not make too much noise lest the sailors on deck find out—although, based on his understanding of the crew on his own ship, these bastards would probably not react even if the sky fell when they were partying.
"I've wasted my time raising you, you idiot monkey!"
"Squeak...squeak—!!"
Just then, Sailor Jack felt his head suddenly lighten, and the brown-haired monkey standing on his head was lifted up by an invisible force.
Sailor Jack frowned, and his pupils contracted involuntarily.
A man dressed in a black suit and top hat appeared out of thin air with his hands behind his back... The monkey was then "lifted" to the man's side.
"Long time no see, Jack Sparrow."
"Falgaro?"
……
One was the legendary captain of the former Black Pearl, and the other was the captain of the Pirate King's ship. In the Void Pirates' circle, they were bound to know each other.
“Jack Sparrow, it seems you always look this disheveled every time I see you?” Falgaro smiled slightly. “What happened last time… Oh, I remember, it was when you were being chased by Edward’s Queen Anne’s Revenge.”
"...Is there such a thing?" Sailor Jack maintained an attitude of not admitting anything and not even having any enemies. "Right, let's not talk about this! Brother Falgaro, put me down first, we should catch up properly, how about I buy you a drink?"
Fargard said calmly, "Jack, you're also a Void Pirate, so you should know very well that pirates don't meddle in each other's affairs... especially when a captain punishes a offender, which is considered provocation. The new captain of the Black Pearl is currently a guest in Rogue City."
"What are you doing here?" Sailor Jack rolled his eyes in annoyance—as if he had completely forgotten about the monkey that had been "taken away".
"I just came over to say hello," Falgarro chuckled. "After all, it seemed like a... but I didn't expect such an unexpected bonus."
He then looked at the brown-furred monkey.
Sailor Jack was panicking inside, but he remained calm and said, "I've already greeted you, but you still won't let me down. Get lost, I don't want to see you!"
Falgaro said calmly, "If I remember correctly, Barbossa also has a monkey like this by his side... Could this be Barbossa's?"
"No, you are thinking too much!"
Falgaro suddenly extended a finger and flicked it lightly. A dark yellow light swept across the brown-haired monkey in an instant—the next moment, the brown-haired monkey completely lost its flesh and blood, leaving only a skeleton.
A monkey skeleton baring its teeth.
“The cursed monkey, it really is Barbossa’s.” Falgaro looked at Sailor Jack and shook his head slightly. “Jack Sparrow, I think Barbossa would be very interested in catching up with you.”
"..."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Barbossa's ship has entered the gate and should be anchored nearby in about half an hour."
“…What do you want in return for putting me down?” Sailor Jack asked helplessly.
“Tell me the whereabouts of the Pirate Codex,” Falgarro said directly.
Sailor Jack asked in astonishment, "You think I would know?"
“As the only child of the Guardian of the Codex, I think everyone would assume that you must know…” Falgaro said calmly, “After all, you and your father are both scoundrels.”
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen that old man,” Sailor Jack shook his head. “Let’s change the terms!”
"I've thought it through, and I'll come back." Falgarro chuckled softly, then turned and left.
A crack opened, and Falgaro walked directly into it... As for the brown-haired monkey, it was slowly "lifted" up as well.
Watching the monkey about to disappear, Sailor Jack opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent... His eyes suddenly darted around as he began to think frantically.
……
Pirate Alliance Headquarters, Armed Hall.
This is where the captains and crew members of the Zhangbolu pirate crew regularly clock in—or rather, their office.
When Falgarro appeared directly there, inside the Armory Hall, there was only a scholar-like man in a blue robe, who was writing something.
"Falgaro, where did you find such a monkey?" the scholar asked curiously.
“This is the ‘Cursed Monkey’ that Barbossa lost,” Falgaro said casually. “It was found by Jack Sparrow.”
"I heard Barbossa even issued a bounty for this monkey." The scholar looked it over a few times, smiled, and said, "Looks like we can sell it to Barbossa for a good price."
“Don’t you think it’s a bit of a waste to just sell it back to Barbossa?” Falgaro chuckled. “I didn’t take this monkey from Jack Sparrow just to hand it over.”
The scholar thought for a moment and said, "Are you worried that Barbossa will cause trouble after he finds out about this?"
Falgaro said calmly, "Within my jurisdiction, no one who breaks the rules is allowed to exist. I'm just avoiding some trouble in advance. This gathering is very important to the King... and there's no room for error."
"And this monkey?"
Falgaro thought for a moment: "Let me keep it here for now."
The scholar smiled and said, "Legend has it that this is a cursed monkey. Anyone who keeps it except Barbossa himself will suffer misfortune. Aren't you afraid?"
Falgarro smiled calmly. "It's just a legend, but Jack Sparrow has certainly had a lot of bad luck... What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a wooden basin appeared in the scholar's hand, along with a leaf. He then used the leaf to dip in water and gently swept it over Falgaro's body.
"These are pomelo leaves!" the scholar said with an air of seriousness. "In my hometown, washing yourself with water infused with pomelo leaves can ward off bad luck! Let me sweep them a few more times for you!"
"..."
……
……
……
……
The Gorge of Freedom and Unbridled Spirit... Gateway.
A spaceship with distinct scientific characteristics suddenly leaped to this location—the Nigo alien legion guarding the gate reacted swiftly to the sudden appearance of the scientific spaceship.
Immediately, more than a dozen [Ni Ge] warships surrounded the [Science Side] spaceship—because it was an unidentifiable, unfamiliar spaceship!
"Sir, the communication is established. We can talk now!"
On the warship, the commander of the [Ni Ge] alien legion calmly addressed the screen: "[Science Side] spaceship, state your purpose!"
The screen lit up, and a woman with long black hair wearing a black lace eye mask appeared—the [Star Witch] herself!
"I'm here to attend the pirate gathering," the witch herself said calmly. "This is a certificate issued by the Pirate Alliance headquarters, granting me the authority to freely bring people in and out of [Rogue] City."
Then the witch herself took out a black badge entwined with nine snakes.
Strangely, the black badge suddenly appeared through both screens and was projected directly into the control room of the [Ni Ge] warship!
When the nine-snake-entwined totem appeared before their eyes, everyone in the control room, including the commander [Brother Ni] who was speaking, had to lower their heads!
"【Great Pirate】!" Commander Ni immediately clenched his fist and placed it on his chest, respectfully saying, "Respected sir, it is an honor to have you here. Please allow my ship to escort you through the gate!"
The screen went completely black.
However, Commander Ni knew that the adults on that science-side spaceship had agreed!
The Pirate Alliance headquarters grants Void Pirates four types of credentials—the highest level is undoubtedly the [Legendary Pirate], followed by the next level, the [Grand Pirate], then the [New Star], and finally the lowest level, the [Sea Pirate].
But regardless of their level, in the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness, they are all like nobles... Even a Ni Ge alien, as the commander of a legion, is still not a noble.
They were born to serve the pirates.
……
On the spaceship from the [science side].
Having just ended the communication, the witch casually removed her black lace eye mask and then fiddled with the "Great Pirate" badge in her hand.
It's normal for a powerful cultivator of the "Gou Dao" (a martial arts path) to have multiple identities, right?
As a legendary pirate, possessing one Grand Pirate, three Rising Stars, and over a dozen Pirate Certificates is quite normal, isn't it?
The ones attending this gathering are the "Great Pirates," what does that have to do with me, the "Legendary Pirate Star Witch," right?!
"So this is the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness?" At this moment, Xiao Meng was looking out the window at the entrance of the Void Pirate Alliance headquarters, and said with great interest, "Without the correct coordinates, it would indeed be difficult to find this place."
—There are still more than five days left…
—Why were these seven days so unbearable?
The witch silently watched Xiaomeng... At this moment, it was as if there was a countdown in Xiaomeng's head that only she could see.
"Stop sighing, go pack your things." The witch thought for a moment and said, "After you get off the ship, you won't be coming back up. Pack up any personal belongings you have and take them with you as soon as possible!"
Xiao Meng blinked and asked curiously, "Why didn't you get on the ship... So when you leave, are you planning to cross the river on your own body?"
The witch casually said, "Just get any small spaceship in Rogue City! You can find all kinds of void spaceships on the black market there, more than enough!"
"What should we do with this flagship?"
The witch shrugged and said, "Just pack them up and sell them along with the people on the ship. The slave traders will buy them anyway!"
"The people on this ship have clearly stated that they want to follow you," Xiao Meng said with a smile, "but you plan to sell them all as slaves... How wicked you are!"
Miss Witch scoffed, "They're all trained by the Tiannan family. They're not even loyal to the Tiannan family, so why would they willingly become my cannon fodder? Rather than keeping them as trouble, I'd rather sell them for a few more bucks!"
Aren't you afraid they'll leak your information?
The witch sneered, "Since I dare to sell, I'm naturally not afraid of what they'll say... I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to contact a slave trader I know. You can play by yourself!"
Xiao Meng... Xiao Meng didn't go to play by herself. Instead, she went closer to the window again, cupped her cheeks in her hands, and her bright red eyes became even more... fiery.
"I can't wait..."
……
Inside the control room of the spaceship.
As the first person to defect, Laibin was directly appointed as the temporary first mate of the flagship. As the flagship slowly passed through the gate, the temporary first mate brought a large box of things to his companions in the control room.
"Interim first mate, what... what is this?"
"Remove the 'temporary' option!"
"...So, what is this? Don't keep us in suspense!"
The guest proudly opened the box. "These are clothes I had hastily made! You all change into them! The legendary Void Pirates' headquarters is just ahead! As the Witch's subordinates, we must naturally adapt to local customs, and we absolutely cannot embarrass the Witch!"
Inside the box were brand-new pirate outfits!
"As expected of the first person to defect to the enemy, Captain Laibin, he really thinks things through!"
"Speaking of which, although we've followed the Witch... we don't seem to know the name of her pirate crew?"
The guest captain cleared his throat. "As far as I know, Lady Witch has always been a lone wolf and has yet to formally form a pirate crew, which means..."
"That is to say?"
The vice-captain, his eyes burning with fervor, declared, "Now that we're a crew, it means we'll be the veterans of the Witch's Pirate Crew... Brothers! From this day forward, we're no longer slaves to the Tiannan family! We won't have to suffer from their withheld wages anymore! And one day in the future, we'll even rob those Tiannan family's caravans!!"
"Great!! Rob the caravan of the [Tiannan] family!!"
"Grab! Grab! Grab!!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, the guest vice-captain simply raised his arm and shouted, "Long live the Witch!!"
"Long live the Witch!!"
"Long live!!"
The crowd followed, as if they could see a bright future!
