"The sea ghost Davy Jones?"
Hearing the report from his subordinate, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but rub his temples.
He knew that Jack Sparrow, that bastard, wouldn't bring him any good news.
That scoundrel had been out gallivanting for the better part of a year, and the only thing he brought back was the witch Tia Dalma.
And she was half-dead!
Because she had used too much magic at sea, the witch was currently unconscious. No one knew when she would wake up.
And now, Davy Jones was cruising in the waters outside Dawn Port, constantly threatening its economic position.
Forget the fact that the Ghost Ship was a terrifying presence to all ships at sea; the mere fact that it had sunk one of his warships meant they were now sworn enemies!
After Jack Sparrow revealed his identity, Vincent knew he couldn't stay out of it. He had no choice but to order his remaining warships to open fire on the Ghost Ship.
The result?
Extremely gratifying.
Jack Sparrow's ship narrowly escaped, while the warship Vincent commanded was sunk by the Ghost Ship.
The Flying Dutchman was originally a cursed ghost ship, specifically used to ferry souls between the mortal and spirit worlds. Ordinary weapons couldn't harm it.
The only reason it could be damaged at all was because human weaponry had advanced to the age of firearms. Cannons could at least inflict some damage on the ghost ship. Otherwise, the ship could face an army of thousands at sea and still not be at a disadvantage!
However, although cannons could damage the ghost ship, the ship could automatically repair itself. All it needed was to submerge, and when it resurfaced, it would be as good as new.
Faced with a Ghost Ship that had infinite firepower and could automatically repair itself, even a warship couldn't gain any advantage. In just over ten minutes, the warship was sunk.
However, even after winning the naval battle, Davy Jones didn't feel any joy.
Because his wife had run off with Jack Sparrow.
Octopus Guy was about to continue the pursuit when he was repelled by the Coastal Defense Cannons as he approached Dawn Port.
Not to mention the Invincible General, which had been modified by Li Qingyuan, the nearly one hundred cannons on the shore were not something the Ghost Ship could contend with.
The Flying Dutchman was indeed formidable; in a one-on-one fight, it could defeat even a First-Rate Battleship. But the Ghost Ship also had its limits.
If it were besieged by hundreds of cannons, its repair speed might not keep up with the rate of damage!
Although even if it were truly blasted to pieces, the Ghost Ship would revive elsewhere, no one really wanted to experience the feeling of being blown to bits, right?
So, Davy Jones had his Ghost Ship sailing in the deep waters outside Dawn Port, ready to trap Jack Sparrow and his wife and starve them to death.
Anyway, Octopus Guy had nothing else but a long life, so he'd see who could outlast whom!
"I think we can throw this guy out. Davy Jones wants his life. As long as we throw him out, we'll be safe!" Vincent, who had barely escaped with his life, pointed at Jack Sparrow standing to the side and advised Li Qingyuan.
"Your Majesty, I'm a meritorious official! Back in the day, I, along with Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Queen, shared a barbecue!" Hearing that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually planning to throw him out as a scapegoat, Jack Sparrow immediately jumped out to refute.
Kid, back when your Uncle Jack was eating on a desert island with the King, you didn't even know where you were.
For Jack, this shameless guy, Li Qingyuan knew that unless he chopped off his head, he'd never be able to ignore his thick skin.
"There's no need to discuss this. Just a mere octopus head, Dawn Port doesn't need to let him run wild." Li Qingyuan waved his hand. Although he also wanted to send Jack, this plague, away, now was definitely not the time.
Moreover, if he didn't deal with that old Davy Jones, he would think he was truly afraid of him?
A Ghost Ship plus a ghostly captain could indeed become the nightmare of most people in this world, but for him, it was just a little brother.
If he couldn't even handle such a minor problem, what right did he have to be the so-called Pirate Emperor?
"Your Majesty, the Ghost Ship is floating outside the harbor, and it will affect the prestige we've painstakingly built," Governor Swann stepped forward and said.
Dawn Port's development prospects were excellent. According to Governor Swann's assessment, in three years at most, it could gather half the wealth of the entire Caribbean. In ten years, Dawn Port's prosperity could surpass London.
If he lived long enough, he would definitely see Dawn Port become the brightest pearl in the new world. Perhaps the one sitting on the throne at that time would be Wetherby I?
But perhaps he should go and persuade his daughter again, urge her to be more proactive. It had been so long, and he hadn't heard any news yet?
His prince title was still waiting for his grandson to be bestowed!
Now, anyone who damaged the development of Dawn Port would be regarded by Governor Swann as a mortal enemy. Davy Jones coming to cause trouble at this time was simply trying to destroy the Wetherby family's eternal legacy!
Li Qingyuan tapped his hand on the armrest of the throne. Davy Jones, that guy, was really not easy to deal with.
He remembered that this guy was immortal. The only way to kill him was to find his heart.
That guy had dug out his own heart and buried it on some deserted island. Only by finding his heart could they truly kill Davy Jones.
Thinking of this, he beckoned to Jack Sparrow.
"Your Majesty, you called for me?"
Knowing that his life was now completely in the other's hands, Captain Jack obediently walked over to Li Qingyuan, a fawning smile on his face.
This was the great Captain Jack Sparrow, absolutely shameless when facing an enemy he couldn't resist!
"Give me the Compass."
Li Qingyuan didn't bother with further conversation and spoke directly.
In the Pirates of the Caribbean world, Jack Sparrow's Compass and Sao Feng's Map of the World were undoubtedly the best tools for treasure hunting. It could be said that aside from Poseidon's Trident, any treasure hidden in the sea could be found using these two items.
However, Sao Feng was far away in the South China Sea. If they wanted to find Davy Jones's heart, they could only rely on Jack Sparrow's Compass!
"Your Majesty, this Compass is actually useless. It doesn't even point north; it's broken!" Jack Sparrow still stubbornly argued.
"Ah—"
However, what answered him was a finger.
Watching Jack Sparrow lying on the ground, constantly twitching, Li Qingyuan finally sighed helplessly.
You have to wonder, how does this guy not know what death means?
