Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 64 is great. Finally someone starts talking nonsense under the pressure of the end of the world.
Will Turner is gone.
With endless attachment to his wife and children, he boarded the Flying Dutchman again and disappeared under the tide. Mason also took the depressed Mrs. Elizabeth back to the Black Pearl on his flying scooter.
Little Henry was carried across the ocean by the kite flyer.
Although a child of twelve or thirteen is precocious, he is still a child and shows great interest in such thrilling and exciting adventures. The kite flyer's own son happens to be of this age, which makes the old man feel a special care for little Henry.
Anyway, Mason was busy dealing with important matters, and Selina was already annoyed by her bad-tempered "adopted son", so she couldn't even think about letting Conor take care of the baby.
So Charles took the initiative to take care of Henry Turner.
Lady Elizabeth had no objection to this.
She has received some important tips from her husband, and when they follow Team K to another world in the near future, they and their mother will have to ask these guys to take care of them.
It would not be a bad thing to let little Henry and "strange people" like Charles develop some feelings now. As for the former pirate king himself, he soon found his own "friends".
As Mason expected, as soon as she got on board, she "met the eye" with Catwoman because of her unique and outstanding temperament.
However, when Lady Elizabeth appeared openly on the Black Pearl, it still caused a great shock among the pirates and navy groups.
The British mainland was the source of the first outbreak of the Black Death in continental Europe, and the entire island was completely destroyed in just one week.
Many pirates speculated that the former pirate king had been killed by the zombies.
But as legendary figures, it is definitely not that easy for them to die, and even if they were to die, it would not be so quiet.
"Hey, Elizabeth, you're here too?"
The dissolute Captain Jack boarded his beloved ship with a densely packed account book in his hand. He immediately saw his "old lover" sitting on a beach chair basking in the sun with Catwoman, so he came over to greet her in a mean way.
There was also a history of love and hatred between these two people.
It is said that Jack Sparrow once pursued Lady Elizabeth and almost succeeded.
"Jack!"
As Mason walked into the captain's room to carefully count the reward Captain Turner had given him, he shouted to the wanton pirate who was flirting with the two ladies:
"There will be a Pirate King meeting tonight. Do you want to attend?"
"Not interested in."
Captain Jack snorted, stroked his coquettish mustache and said:
"My colleagues were almost scared to death by the doomsday. But now that they have the help of your magic medicine, they have become ambitious again. I don't need to go to guess what dirty things these guys are going to discuss.
They are all very low IQ and rude, Mason, you are not one of them. But the carnival after the meeting was quite interesting.
But you are not yet an adult, so remember to restrain yourself."
"I heard from Barbossa that he had been acting as your father's 'talker', so your mysterious father should also show up."
Mason pushed open the door of the captain's cabin and turned back to say:
"When you are about to leave, why don't you go see him and say a touching farewell or something?"
"My dad?"
Jack was even less impressed.
This standard legendary pirate pouted and spit out:
"I suspect that after I die, the old man will still be alive, and he will definitely live a more carefree life than me. Or maybe he has actually died a long time ago!
Only a ghost was left wandering on the sea he loved so much.
He warned me not to look for him, so I will follow his instructions. If you see him, remember to say goodbye to him for me.
But remember not to shake his hand or touch anything he has touched. Saying that Blackbeard is the voodoo king of this sea is just for fun. If you really want to see voodoo, you have to rely on my father who was raised by a witch from Madagascar."
"Yeah, I understand."
Mason nodded, took note of Jack's suggestion, and instructed Ertong, who had a sullen face, to find the Kite Man to prepare to return to Gotham early the next morning.
The transaction has been completed and the payment has been received.
When both the guests and the hosts are having a great time, Team K should not stay here any longer, otherwise many of their "partners" will not be able to sleep at night.
The preparations continued until night, when Mason finally walked out of the captain's room. He habitually took a sip of stimulant and took a look at the initially modified freezing gun in his hand.
There are still a few energy conversion accessories missing to ensure the perfect transmission of the cold air of the Ice Sea Pearl, but this is enough for now.
He stuffed a round, fist-sized blue pearl into the ammunition compartment of the freezing gun, then raised the sci-fi-inspired gun and fired at the cable next to it.
A dark blue freezing laser shot out and quickly froze all the cables.
This scene stunned the pirates of the Black Pearl who were drinking and playing cards nearby. Captain Jack's most trusted first mate Gibbs even poured all the wine in his hand into his neck.
Mason ignored the guys.
He whistled and put away the freezing gun, thinking that after finding a substitute for the freezing fluid, he might try to make some small freezing pistols for his teammates.
The weapons upgrade of Team K must be put on the agenda, as their next challenges will only become more and more outrageous.
The kite flyer on the other side was ready to set off. The venue was in the tavern on Turtle Island. It was very close and there was no need to fly over. Mason also brought the imposing Er Tong with him as a "bodyguard".
His battle suit had not been made yet, so this guy followed the local customs and wore a clean pirate costume, borrowed Jack's three-cornered hat and put it on his head. He looked quite majestic when fully armed.
The tavern, which used to be very lively and was a gathering place for a group of drunkards who indulged themselves in happiness at the end of the world, was put under "martial law" tonight by the minions of the major pirate kings.
Only those bigwigs who are invited are qualified to enter and attend the Pirate King Conference.
But other drunkards and islanders did not want to miss this grand day, so they gathered in circles around the pub, waiting for new news to come out.
Because the news of the appearance of the miracle drug has spread, some smart guys have guessed the choice that the pirate kings will make after they are no longer afraid of the Black Death and the zombies. Therefore, the recruitment offices of the major fleets are crowded tonight.
In the past, they had no way to fight against the resurrected monsters, but now that they are no longer afraid of the terrible disease, these men who fought the waves on the sea will naturally seize this last chance to fight for the future.
Especially those who lost everything in the disaster of the Black Death.
Both men and women are very active in joining various fleets even if they can only be cannon fodder. They hope to take back everything they have lost with their own hands.
This is human nature.
Although it is messy, this place is indeed full of "vitality" again compared to when Mason first came here. These are all changes brought about by Team K.
Mason was also quite satisfied with this. He was not a guy who liked to stay with a group of zombies.
"The wizard who brings hope is here!"
When Mason arrived at the tavern with the Kite Man and the two barrels, it immediately caused a sensation.
No matter how unruly the pirates or violent the islanders were, they all respectfully made way for Mason at this moment. Some emotional guys even knelt on the ground and called Mason's name, while others had tears in their eyes.
They called Mason and his team the "Wizards of Hope" to celebrate their feat of bringing hope to people who had been overwhelmed by the apocalypse.
Although those miraculous drugs were not distributed for free, members of the "Cat Worship" cult, which had already emerged and spread rapidly, still regarded it as some kind of "miracle."
As for the origin of this sect full of flaws, you can tell from the name that it is a force voluntarily formed by people who have been rescued by Selena.
Lady Catwoman is probably addicted to playing.
Not only did she have her own fleet and a group of believers, she even asked Mason for tens of thousands of vaccines to distribute to these fanatical followers.
What's even more worthy of complaints is that Catwoman doesn't need her followers to offer any sacrifices to her, except for jewelry...
This woman's love for jewelry is so deep that she can't help herself.
"boom"
The door of the tavern was pushed open by two tall and strong pirates. Mason walked in with two bodyguards and found that the meeting had already begun.
The eight pirate kings, except Jack Sparrow, the Pirate King of the Caribbean, were talking loudly around a big table, with wine bottles and glass shards flying everywhere.
Everyone was talking without listening to others, making the place as noisy as if thousands of ducks were having a meeting.
In addition to the Pirate King, there were also observers at this special Pirate King meeting. The British fleet also sent an envoy, and some royal families in East Asia also had ministers here.
I think they are planning to discuss the division of power in the Old World after the pirate kings reach an agreement.
"Stop the fucking noise, you bunch of scum!"
Barbossa, the host of the meeting, was so annoyed that he swung his voodoo knife and slammed it on the table.
But there was no deterrent effect at all, and the other pirate kings ignored him. The angry old pirate pulled out a flintlock from his follower's arms and fired a shot into the sky, which made the noisy tavern quiet down.
“Don’t waste time!”
Barbosa cursed:
"The magic medicine can only last for two months. If you waste one more hour here, we will lose one hour of time to expand our territory.
I'm old and might die tonight, but I still want to see my pirate kingdom established before I die.
So now listen up and stop talking nonsense!
Anyone who has suggestions please share them now! "
"Goddess of the Sea!"
Captain Chevalier, the Mediterranean pirate king, whose face was covered with white foundation to make him look like a zombie, screamed:
"Are you deaf, Barbossa? We are discussing whether or not to summon the sea goddess Colibusso. Originally, we were planning to use the power of the capricious sea goddess to keep the Black Death out of the sea.
But now we have a miracle drug.
Perhaps with our help we can regain our lost power and wealth, and open up new territories in the new world.
In this case, offering precious sacrifices to summon that crazy sea goddess would be more trouble than gain."
"She hates us!"
Armand, the Black Sea pirate king wearing a scarlet Arab headscarf, knocked on the table and said gloomily:
“Although we released her, we also sealed her away. You probably haven’t forgotten what happened the last time we dealt with her.
I had no doubt that Calibuso would eat us alive.
Perhaps it is appropriate to stop having any contact with her. I agree with Chevaler's opinion. We can take back our power and status on our own!"
"There are plenty of cannon fodder out there who are willing to get on board and fight to the death in the Old World!"
Mrs. Wang Qing, a blind and old Pacific pirate who once controlled the Sea of Japan and the Pacific, said in a weak but pointed voice:
“As long as the Hope Wizard can continue to provide the magic medicine, we will not be short of desperate warriors. I also think we should no longer have anything to do with Kolibuso.
That is a crazy god who is not to be trusted."
The other pirate kings who had not spoken also nodded.
Obviously, they hoped that the emergence of the miracle drug would give them enough confidence so that they no longer had to entrust their lives and property to a crazy sea god.
Even the pirates, who were not afraid of eating anything but meat, were wary of the supernatural.
Barbossa looked around, and the old pirate nodded at his colleagues' opinions.
This was actually what he thought, but just as Barbosa was about to speak and make the final decision, Mason, who was sitting in the chair at the back, suddenly stood up and coughed.
The cough made everyone look at him.
The wizard who brought hope was about to speak, and the pirate kings were willing to give Mason a chance to speak because of his contribution.
"Everyone, I think it's better for you to make preparations for both situations."
Mason did not give a long speech, but said very concisely:
“Although you no longer have to worry about the Black Death and the ghouls with the help of the magic medicine, don’t forget that the cause of this doomsday disaster is still a mystery.
Let me be more direct.
Maybe this is a conspiracy against the human world from hell or some other weird place... What if those behind the scenes plan to bring down the end of the world again?
An existence that can destroy the world with epidemics must be something that mortals cannot resist.
Therefore, I think that the sea goddess Colibuso might be your backup option. It is always better to be prepared."
The young man looked around at the pirate kings. He paused, recalling what Zha Kang had told him about the gods , and then he spoke again:
"The power of Poseidon comes from the sea, but her belief was formed because of word of mouth among sailors and pirates who sailed on the sea. So the crazy Poseidon was actually created by you and your ancestors.
You are her source of strength.
Once you all stop mentioning Colibuso's name and divine power, she will 'die' in time.
This is the gods' little secret.
You can use this to negotiate with her in exchange for some support. After all, there is a saying in my hometown that goes, "Be prepared, be prepared."
There were whispers in the pub.
Mason's words were not long but they did hit the most vulnerable part of the hearts of these ambitious pirate kings. No one knew what caused the Black Death.
This is indeed something worth considering.
But Barbosa frowned and said:
"We are powerless to check her, Mason. Calibuso's power on the sea is unlimited, and we have no intention of finding ourselves a master."
"You mean you are powerless to check and balance?"
Mason shook his head and said:
"No, my friend, remember what Jack was going to do when you caught him?"
Barbossa was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"Yes! The legendary Trident of Poseidon! It is said that it can remove all curses of the ocean and allow the holder to control the sea. If we find it, we may be able to check and balance Colibuso.
Well, Mason, you are indeed a wise wizard.
guys!
What do you think of the wizard's proposal?
Perhaps as we return to the Old World we can put together a united fleet to search for the legendary artifact.
Even if we don't have to use it to fight Colibuso or the mastermind behind the disaster, having it can better help us clean up those damn zombies.
I think this is a good deal!"
The tavern became noisy again because Mason's suggestion caused the pirate kings to quarrel again.
However, the reason for their quarrel this time was who should take charge of the trident that had not yet been obtained, and which unlucky guy should be sent to the depths of the deep sea to contact the crazy female sea goddess?
It's really not difficult to convince these pirates.
As long as the benefits are made clear, they are much more open-minded than nobles and kings.
Mason sat back in his chair, keeping his achievements to himself. He was certainly not doing good deeds, but was just preparing for some disturbances that might arise in the future related to the Star Meeting.
Even if the stars don't notice this world, the Trident will benefit from it once it finds Mason.
A magical artifact like that that has spread all over the world should at least be a legend, right?
Just as Mason was lost in his thoughts, a black man suddenly squeezed next to him and, under the threat of Ertong and Charles drawing their guns at the same time, tremblingly handed a note to Mason.
The young man looked at the contents of the note in surprise. There was only one sentence on it:
"look back!"
Mason immediately turned around, and behind the noisy crowd, in a dark corner of the tavern, he saw an elderly pirate who looked 70% like Jack Sparrow raising his glass towards him.
Edward Teague!
Jack Sparrow's father, guardian of the Pirate Code, captain of the Bard, and a legendary pirate.
He really came.
And this guy is inviting Mason to come over and sit down.
