Chapter 107: Chain Reaction
The news that the Pirate Lord of the Black Sea, Ammand, had failed to kill the demon and was nearly wiped out soon spread throughout the entire Caribbean Sea.
Instantly, the pirates became panicked once again. Even those who had never encountered a demon before and felt that demons were nothing special finally realized how powerful the demon was.
That was the entire fleet of the Pirate Lord of the Black Sea! Such a fleet could escape unscathed even if they encountered the Royal Navy fleet, but it was defeated by the demon.
In particular, it was said that the demon had almost killed Pirate Lord Ammand. If not for the appearance of the Devil of the Seas, Davy Jones, at the critical moment, the Nine Pirate Lords might have already become eight...
Among the pirates, there was no lack of believers of the church. After hearing this news, these believers could not help but pray, hoping that the Holy Father and the Holy Spirit could hear their prayers and send an angel to eliminate this demon.
Now, all the pirates in the Caribbean Sea did not dare to go out to sea anymore, worried that they would bump into the Frozen Ghost Ship. However, the interesting thing was that normal maritime trade became much better because pirate activity was no longer rampant...
However, everyone knew that such a situation would not last long. This was the great Age of Discovery, and there were huge benefits in the ocean. The pirates could restrain themselves for a while, but they could not restrain themselves forever. The key was how to solve the problem of this Frozen Ghost Ship and the demon...
After Pirate Lord Ammand returned in a sorry state, he had already sent a message to the other Pirate Lords, requesting to convene a meeting of the Pirate Lords to seek a solution.
The pirates naturally heard of this news, so they could only wait patiently.
Ammand wanted to hold a Pirate Lord meeting. His intention was to see if the power of the Nine Pirate Lords could seal this demon, just like the seal on Calypso.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, just over a week later, the news he received was not optimistic. This was because two Pirate Lords had clearly stated that they would not be coming!
Every Pirate Lord had their own territory. But Roy and Cassandra’s revenge only affected the Caribbean Sea. The other Pirate Lords, who were far away, were not affected, so out of selfishness, they did not intend to get involved in the muddy water. They were currently unconcerned. In fact, in the letters, they even mocked Ammand and said that he had overestimated himself. Why didn’t he just stay in the Black Sea and wait for it to be over? Why did he have to show off? Now that his fleet was almost gone, he should just swallow his pride, and he could forget about dragging the other Pirate Lords into the water to take revenge for him...
When Ammand saw the replies, he stomped his feet angrily. He wished that he could use the voodoo doll to curse these people who were adding insult to injury.
Not only these two Pirate Lords, but he received news that the rest of the Pirate Lords were also not planning to come.
Left with no choice, Ammand could only find Davy Jones again, hoping that he could appear and gather the other Pirate Lords like the time they sealed the sea goddess Calypso.
However, Davy Jones rejected Ammand’s proposal without hesitation, and he made it clear that he would not attack the demon again.
Davy Jones knew very well that he could not do anything about this demon. Davy Jones’s power came from the Flying Dutchman, and his main ability was to control water and waves. But unfortunately, this demon used the power of frost, which was completely different from the legendary demons who used the power of fire. Although Davy Jones could not die, he could not kill this demon either.
The only way he could think of was to get the Kraken to think of a way to devour this demon and then imprison him in his own Demon Prison, which was at the end of the world, a land of nothingness. Perhaps this was the only way to truly trap this demon.
However, Davy Jones did not reveal this method to Amend because the success rate of this method was very low. This demon had frightening strength. Back then, he had almost pulled the Kraken out of the sea. Also, he could fly at high speed. How could the Kraken swallow him like this?
Davy Jones was also unwilling to get involved in this mess. The reason why he came to save Ammand was that he was one of the Pirate Lords and held a portion of the seal on Calypso. All he needed to do was to ensure that Ammand did not die, and the rest had nothing to do with him. As the captain of the Flying Dutchman, he did not need to plunder ships to survive like pirates, and the demon’s target was not him either. So was it worthwhile to mutually harm each other with such a powerful demon?
Davy Jones was unwilling to deal with it, and the other Pirate Lords had their own thoughts and did not want to come. At this moment, Ammand also realized that he had no hope of revenge, so he simply decided to ignore it!
He brought his remaining fleet back to the Black Sea...
This was the Caribbean Sea, not his territory, so there was no need for him to do anything for the pirates here.
When the news of Ammand’s departure came, all the pirates in the Caribbean Sea were stunned! They were still hoping that the Pirate Lord would come out and make the decision for them, but they did not expect Ammand to leave them alone.
The pirates who had no leader finally started arguing. At the same time, all sorts of ideas popped up.
Some advocated gathering all the pirates in the Caribbean Sea to fight the demon together, while others advocated contacting the church and the Royal Navy to get them to hunt down the demon. Others felt that they might as well find the murderers and hand them over to the demon. Regardless of which argument, there were a large number of supporters. As a result, the three parties argued incessantly. Every day, a verbal battle would quickly turn into a group brawl. They would fight until their faces were bruised and battered, but they could not come to a conclusion.
Roy was already mentally prepared for this situation. He was very clear that he should not have too much hope for these scattered pirates.
However, it did not matter. He continued to attack these pirates on the sea with Cassandra. As long as they dared to go out to sea, Roy would make sure they did not return and harvested their souls!
He also knew that the pirates who killed Cassandra must have heard the news and hid. Otherwise, if they still dared to appear at sea, they should have been found by Roy and Cassandra long ago. They had hidden, and the other pirates of the Caribbean Sea had become scapegoats.
Roy did not care about this. After all, to him, helping Cassandra take revenge and complete the demon contract was one goal, and the other goal was to gather as many souls as possible so that he would not return empty-handed every time he went to another world. The longer the murderers hid, the more the other pirates would hate them. In the end, they would help Roy dig out these people.
The souls Roy collected were all used to strengthen his magic power. In the battle with Davy Jones, Roy found that there were some incredible powers in these alternate worlds. Although Davy Jones’s magic was not useful against Roy, the undying characteristics of the Flying Dutchman made Roy feel troubled.
Of course, if Roy really wanted to deal with Davy Jones, it was not impossible. When the Flying Dutchman was reborn, Roy could feel that the magic power on the ghost ship seemed to have decreased a little. Perhaps it was because the Magic Power Virus contained in his frost power had swallowed some of the magic power in the ghost ship. If he could freeze the ship and allow the Magic Power Virus to continuously devour the magic power in the ghost ship, he might really be able to destroy the Flying Dutchman from its source.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the amount of magic power consumed by the virus was too little, and the magic power contained in the Flying Dutchman was extremely powerful. Roy did not know how long it would take the virus to consume it. Perhaps it would take a long, long time...
Therefore, Roy’s retreat at that time was because he indeed did not want to continue pestering with him. Apart from the time and effort, he felt that he also had to consider the reaction of the sea goddess Calypso. After all, the Flying Dutchman was hers. If Roy completely destroyed it, it would be equivalent to offending a sea goddess.
The following days proved that Davy Jones had no intention of fighting with him, and the Flying Dutchman never appeared in front of Roy again.
The pirates of the Caribbean Sea had been arguing for a long time, but they were still unable to come up with an idea. As they became increasingly poor, they realized that they could not continue like this. They had to find someone to take the lead and make a decision. Thus, they began to think of ways to find the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea.
And who was the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea? The famous Jack Sparrow!
Jack Sparrow was the captain of the Black Pearl, and his father, Edward Teague, was once the Pirate Lord who dominated the Caribbean Sea. After his father retired and became the Keeper of the Pirate Code, he passed the item that sealed Calypso to Jack Sparrow. Therefore, Jack Sparrow was the current Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea.
However, the problem was that the pirates had not seen Jack Sparrow for a long time. After asking around, they were surprised to discover that there was a mutiny on the Black Pearl. Barbossa, a pirate who had surrendered to Edward Teague because of his bankruptcy, had instigated the crew on the Black Pearl to mutiny because he was unwilling to accept Jack Sparrow as the successor. After they exiled Jack Sparrow, they occupied the Black Pearl.
Coincidentally, it was shortly after the appearance of the demon and lich...
Jack Sparrow was exiled, and no one had any idea where he was now. The pirates were even more dumbfounded when they heard the news. They had no choice but to look for Barbossa, hoping that he would come out and take charge of the situation.
Thus, the pirates began to search for the Black Pearl...
However, what they did not know was that while they were searching for the Black Pearl, Roy’s Frozen Ghost Ship welcomed a guest.
And this guest was who the pirates had wanted to find at first, the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea, Jack Sparrow...
