"Jack Sparrow!" Davy Jones spat the words out through clenched teeth, old and new grudges boiling to the surface. Right now, he just wanted to tear that bastard to shreds.
At first, Davy Jones had only intended to collect a debt. The thirteen-year loan he'd given that guy had matured, and as the creditor, it was only right for him to collect, wasn't it?
But when he got closer, he realized, damn, it seemed his hat was greener than ever!
The woman leaning against that scoundrel, Jack Sparrow, wasn't his wife?
Tia Dalma!
She was just a Voodoo witch now, wielding some supernatural powers, but not possessing any truly formidable strength.
In short, she could bluff people, but couldn't handle a real crisis!
But in reality, if you went back a hundred years, this woman was the most terrifying being in the entire ocean.
Calypso, also known as the sea goddess, was supposedly the last remaining member of the Olympian Pantheon. She was the embodiment of the ocean, and anyone who wanted to sail the seas needed her permission.
Over a hundred years ago, Davy Jones wasn't yet the tentacled sea monster king, but a handsome, dashing, and extraordinary captain.
He fell in love with Calypso, and for her sake, Davy Jones was willing to become the captain of the Ghost Ship, responsible for ferrying the dead at sea.
Even though he could only see his lover once every ten years, Davy Jones had no regrets and felt that he was doing it all for love!
And the results?
As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more painful the wound. When Davy Jones, after holding it in for ten years, was ready to find his lover and let off some steam, he discovered that she had stood him up.
This... was a disaster!
As everyone knows, after Davy Jones became the captain of the Ghost Ship, his hands turned into crab claws, making it impossible for him to... well, take care of himself.
They hadn't seen each other in ten years. Even a monk would be going crazy by then, and yet, she dared to stand him up.
In that moment, Davy Jones' blood surged. He raised his knife and... chop!
No, wait. He raised his knife and dug out his own heart.
That ruthless bastard swore he would make that bitch who stood him up pay.
So, Davy Jones sought out the nine most capable pirates at sea at the time and devised a trap to capture the sea goddess.
That's right, you read that correctly: a group of mortals captured a god.
They sealed Calypso's divine power, transforming her from a goddess into a witch.
And the item that sealed the power of the sea goddess was the tokens of the Nine Pirate Lords!
From then on, the handsome and dashing Captain Davy Jones transformed from a guide in the underworld, responsible for ferrying souls, into the ghostly captain of a Ghost Ship, while the sea goddess became the witch Tia Dalma.
Although these two loved and fought each other, in Davy Jones's eyes, Tia Dalma was still his wife. Now, she was leaning in Jack Sparrow's arms, which was simply infuriating!
He didn't want any souls anymore; all he wanted was Jack Sparrow dead.
Originally, with One-Legged John's dilapidated three-masted sailboat, there was absolutely no way it could escape the pursuit of the Ghost Ship. After all, this ship was just an ordinary pirate ship, not a magical ship like the Black Pearl, and its speed was far inferior to the Flying Dutchman.
But as the saying goes, if your strength isn't enough, make up for it with equipment. Tia Dalma knew that her old flame was in a state of rage. If he caught up, she certainly wouldn't have a good outcome, so she was now overusing Black Magic, causing the ship beneath her feet to burst forth with a speed far exceeding its peak state! She was, after all, a sea goddess. Even with 99% of her power sealed, the remaining 1% was enough to give ordinary people a hard time.
"Fire the cannons!"
Seeing that the ship ahead had actually burst forth with an unbelievable speed, Davy Jones knew that his wife was helping the other man. He was so angry that his hat stood up, and he roared frantically.
He actually wanted his giant pet octopus to just drag the ship down to the sea, but because Tia Dalma was on that ship, the giant octopus didn't dare to get close.
There was nothing he could do. No matter how she was sealed, Tia Dalma's Divine Spark was still there, and sea monsters simply wouldn't dare to attack her.
"What do we do? Our ship can't hold up!" One-Legged John asked, his face ashen, feeling the violent shaking of the ship.
Blood trickled from Tia Dalma's lips. Overusing her magic was definitely a heavy burden for her right now.
Seeing that the witch no longer had the energy to deal with him, old John immediately turned to look at Jack Sparrow beside him.
"Hey, mate, we're about to reach Port Royal, you better not have any bad ideas right now!"
Jack Sparrow quickly waved his hands, and at the same time, secretly moved his hand towards his chest.
Captain Jack Sparrow had seen all sorts of storms. This guy wanted to abandon him at a time like this? No way.
"Attention, ships ahead! You have entered the jurisdiction of Dawn Port. Cease all hostile actions immediately, regardless of any personal grievances, or it will be considered a contempt of Dawn Port's legal authority!"
Just as Jack Sparrow and One-Legged John were each harboring their own schemes, a loud voice suddenly boomed from the front.
In front of them, a warship was slowly approaching. On the deck of the warship, a soldier was holding a strange object and shouting loudly.
This simple megaphone was made by rolling up sheet metal and shaping it. Although its effect was definitely not as good as an electronic megaphone, as long as it was paired with a soldier with a loud voice, it could still easily transmit sound to distant ships on the vast sea.
"Who's the idiot?"
Hearing the warship's shout, Davy Jones felt his dignity challenged.
He was the captain of the Ghost Ship, nicknamed the Phantom of the Sea, the nightmare of all ships at sea. He was the one who caused trouble for others, not the other way around. When had someone ever dared to yell at him?
"Attack!"
Davy Jones didn't pay any attention to the other party's shouts, continuing to give orders to his crew.
"Captain, it seems that the enemy is the legendary Ghost Ship—the Flying Dutchman!"
At this moment, the lookout on the warship also discovered the identity of the enemy and quickly reported to Captain Vincent.
"The Flying Dutchman?" Vincent frowned. He had just thought it was some greenhorn daring to come here and break the rules set by His Majesty the King, which was why he had ordered his men to charge forward. Now, learning that the enemy was actually the legendary ghost of the sea, he was already regretting it!
This was a real dilemma. Even though the ship he was on was a first-rate battleship, hailed as the overlord of the sea, it had no chance of winning against a Ghost Ship.
But if he ordered his men to flee now, and His Majesty the King found out that he had fled without a fight, not only would he not be promoted, but it would be difficult to even keep his life!
"Brothers up ahead, we're on the same side! It's me, Jack Sparrow! I'm here on the Marquis's orders!"
Just as Vincent was considering how to smooth things over without losing face, he heard a desperate shout coming from the pirate ship that was being chased.
