Chapter 27 This is a joke, right?
"You and your father look exactly the same."
The cabin was rocking with the waves. Jack Sparrow was holding a bottle of rum in his hand and salt pork and cheese in front of him. If his feet were not shackled and there were two regular soldiers with guns standing on both sides,
He doesn't look like a prisoner at all.
"King Turner, a good man and a good pirate, has been here for ten years in the blink of an eye."
Standing opposite him, William Turner looked sharply at the strange-looking pirate, trying to discern the truth in his words from his expression.
"You said you were the captain of the Black Pearl? My father was a crew member of the Black Pearl?" William Turner repeated Jack's words and asked: "How do you prove it?"
"Hey." Jack took a sip of rum and staggered, causing the shackles on his feet to make a clanging sound: "I can't prove it, kid. The key to the question is whether you are willing to believe that your father is
A pirate."
"And the blood of pirates flows in your body."
William frowned, always feeling that the other person's tone meant something else.
"Where is he? The crew member you mentioned."
"Who knows? I haven't seen the Black Pearl in ten years." Jack shook his head: "The last news I heard about the Tie King, he had been tied to the cannon and sunk into the sea——"
p>
William's expression changed: "Is he dead?"
"Who knows?" Jack leaned back and spread his hands: "He'd better be dead, otherwise, I really can't imagine what will happen to him now."
Jack shuddered: "I am alone in the deep sea where no one can find me. I can't breathe, I can't move, I can't be considered alive, and I can never die. I can only count the time in loneliness until eternity——
”
"Just imagining that situation makes me go crazy."
William couldn't understand what this crazy pirate was talking about for a moment. If a person is sunk into the sea, he will die. This is a very simple truth.
"My father once sent me a gold coin, a pirate gold coin." William skipped the topic and said: "If you were once the captain of the Black Pearl, you should know that gold coin, right?"
"That's an Aztec gold coin, my child, a cursed gold coin from the Island of the Dead. Anyone who takes the gold coin will be cursed, just like the crew of the Black Pearl, just like your father. They will not be able to survive. Please
You can't die." Jack picked up his fork, picked up a piece of salt pork, put it in front of his nose and sniffed: "This stuff smells funny."
"I hate English food."
William directly knocked down his fork, rushed over and grabbed him by the collar, and said angrily: "Pirate, I've had enough of your nonsense. You have never met my father, or even the black man."
Pearl."
"I'd be crazy to ask a pirate."
He threw Jack away in frustration.
Jack smoothed the folds on his chest with an innocent face and looked at the salt pork that fell to the ground: "It seems you don't like English food either."
"Obviously everyone was not having a pleasant conversation." Tang Sen, who had been standing aside, clapped his hands to attract their attention: "By the way, I admit that salt pork is not delicious, but it is best not to waste food."

"Mr. Tang, this man is full of lies. What he said has no value at all." William pointed at Jack: "What kind of curse, what kind of immortal person, does he think I am a three-year-old child?"
"Even if my father is really a pirate, I believe what Mr. Tang said more than his nonsense. Mr. Tang, didn't you say you had seen a pirate named William Turner?
”
"..." Tang Sen was silent for a moment: "That's right."
"That's right, he was not tied to a cannon and sank to the bottom of the sea, nor could he be cursed by any gold coins." William was relieved: "At least, he is still alive."
"This... actually doesn't count as living." Tang Sen coughed lightly: "The last time I saw him, he was on Davy Jones's ship."
"Davy Jones?!!!"
William and Jack Sparrow exclaimed at the same time.
William's exclamation was filled with surprise, while Jack's exclamation was obviously more filled with fear. The name made him shrink into his chair.
"Mr. Tang -" William collapsed a little: "I hope the Davy Jones you are talking about is not the legendary Dutchman who controls the North Sea sea monster, drives the ghost ship, and is responsible for ferrying the dead."
"...Unfortunately, I am talking about this Davy Jones."
"Oh, my father has now changed from a crew member of the Black Pearl to a crew member of the Flying Dutchman." William felt so ridiculous that he wanted to laugh, "So, does he still have a green face and fangs, three eyes, and five eyes?"
Arm, whose daily job is to transport dead people to the legendary underworld?"
"That's not true." Townsend spread his hands: "Compared to Davy Jones, I think he looks pretty normal...except for some mussels growing on his face."
William looked at Tang Sen, then looked at Jack, opened his mouth and smiled: "Ha, this is a joke, isn't it?"
"I think this is not a joke, Mr. Turner." Townsend sighed: "I saw it with my own eyes. It was the attack by Davy Jones that made me live in Port Royal."
William was speechless.
Townsend's long-established image lends credibility to even the most absurd things he says.
"Relax, Mr. Turner." Townsend said with relief: "At least, we are not sure whether that is your father or not."
"Tom, Mr. Turner needs to calm down. Take him to have something to eat and a rum bar."
Tom walked out of the room with a distraught William.
Townsend looked at the chair where he was sitting, his eyes constantly looking around, looking nervous Captain Jack Sparrow.
"What are you worried about? Captain Sparrow?"
He picked up the salt pork on the ground and put it back on Jack's dinner plate: "The time for your agreement with Davy Jones has not expired yet."
"Yes, thank God... No!" Jack suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Sen in disbelief: "How do you know this? Apart from me and Davy Jones, no other person knows about this matter."<
/p>
"What do you think?"
Townsend pushed the dinner plate forward: "Enjoy your dinner, Captain Sparrow, you will be busy soon."
"I will always reserve the position of helmsman for you."
After walking out of the room where Sparrow was held, Tang Sen passed through the long cabin and followed the stairs to the deck, where he saw a soldier coming to greet him.
"Mr. Tang, there is a ship rowing over from the Fearless."
He whispered: "I confirmed it with the telescope. It is Captain Locke, the deputy captain of the Intrepid, and the adjutant of Commodore Norrington."
"Do we need to get out of the way?"
"Stay as you are, sir." Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder calmly: "You are my crew now."
