Chapter 4404 Chapter 4406 [Elizabeth and Will Turner]
"Let us drink, brother, burning, killing and looting is our pleasure. Let us drink, brother, yo ho, I am a pirate, so I steal, I extort, I don't care..."
A childish song came from the bow of the ship. This was the "Pirate Song", but when it sounded on a Royal Navy warship, it was somewhat discordant.
"Stop singing, miss, there are pirates here often. You don't want to attract them." At this time, the second officer Joshmi Gibbs stepped forward, stopped the little girl from singing, and warned cautiously.
There are taboos in one's profession. In the Caribbean waters where pirates are frequent, it is very taboo to sing such a song. It has the feeling of "saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived".
"Stop, Gibbs." Xiang Nan stepped forward to stop him.
"Captain, she is singing pirate songs." Gibbs said with a worried look, "Singing pirate songs in this unusually thick fog can easily bring bad luck."
"As long as I'm here, this isn't something you should care about." Xiang Nan ordered, "Just do what you should do."
Gibbs was only the second officer on the ship, it was the captain who should worry about the ship.
"Yes, Captain." Gibbs reluctantly left the bow of the ship and couldn't help mumbling, "Bringing a woman on board will always bring bad luck, even for such a young child."
A long time ago, there was a rule in the maritime industry that women were not allowed on ships.
On the one hand, women are naturally relatively weak and are not suitable for such strenuous and high-risk jobs as the navigation industry; on the other hand, there are usually men on board, and if there are women, it can easily cause chaos.
There are no laws and regulations at sea, and wandering at sea for a long time will inevitably make people feel thirsty. It is said that after three years in prison, sows are better than Diao Chan.
And once a man has evil intentions, women are easily violated. In order to compete for women, men will also become jealous, thus affecting the order of the fleet and making it difficult to manage.
So over time, it became taboo for women to board ships.
Of course, it is not that there are no female pirates in the world. Mrs. Qing, one of the nine pirate kings, is a woman and the pirate king of the Pacific.
As Gibbs spoke, he took out the leather hip flask and took a sip.
He had a drinking problem and often drank secretly. Because of this, he later violated military regulations and was expelled from the Royal Navy.
…
"I think it would be exciting to meet a pirate." Elizabeth Swann turned around and said with a smile.
She is twelve years old. Although she is still very immature, she is already a beautiful woman.
"Miss Swan, I agree with you." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "I also look forward to meeting pirates."
He knew that although Elizabeth was born into a noble family and received a ladylike education from an early age, she was naturally unruly and indulgent and loved freedom, yearning for the freedom of a pirate and living as she pleased.
A bit like Rose in "Titanic". But Rose still needs Jack to guide and encourage her. Elizabeth was more proactive than Rose and actively participated in the pirate business, and thus eventually became the pirate emperor.
James Norrington was just too regular, too old-fashioned, and too upright, so he had been with Elizabeth for ten years but failed to win the girl's heart. In comparison, Jack Sparrow only stayed with Elizabeth for a few days, far less than a month, and he had already made her heart beat, and began to waver between Will Turner and him.
Sure enough, hearing what Xiang Nan said, Elizabeth suddenly became happy.
"My Dauntless has a hundred artillery pieces and brave warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles." Xiang Nan said confidently, "They are all eager to blast all the invading pirates into dregs and let them sink to the bottom of the sea forever. That’s the best place for them to end up.”
The Dauntless is considered the top battleship in today's Caribbean waters. Not only is the ship huge, but what's even more powerful is that it is equipped with a hundred artillery pieces.
What's even more amazing is that the captain of this ship is Xiang Nan. With his strength, no one or ship can threaten him except the sea **** Corybusso.
Even Barbossa's Undead Army, Davy Jones' Flying Dutchman, Blackbeard's Revenant Army and Salazar's Ghost Army.
…
"Captain Norrington, I appreciate this." At this time, Governor Weatherby Swan came over, "But I am worried about my daughter. She should not hear this."
After all, Elizabeth is still a twelve-year-old child and should not hear such **** and cruel things.
"Actually, I think it's very interesting." Elizabeth said with a look of anticipation. She had never seen a naval battle before and really wanted to see it with her own eyes.
"This is what I am most worried about." Governor Swan pointed out.
A wise daughter is better than her father. His daughter has been adventurous since she was a child and is as naughty as a boy. Climbing trees, riding horses, hunting foxes... He was really worried that she would not be a lady and would not be able to get married in the future.
Elizabeth had no idea about this, but suddenly a flower umbrella on the sea attracted her attention.
It was a very beautiful flower umbrella with beautiful lace and exquisite embroidery on it, which was worth a lot of money. But now it is floating on the sea, which is really surprising.
Elizabeth couldn't help but be attracted by it. When she was thinking about where it came from, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the floating umbrella and saw a wooden board floating on the sea, and on the wooden board was lying a child, dead or alive.
"Look, there is a boy floating on the sea." The kind-hearted Elizabeth shouted immediately.
Xiang Nan also saw it at this time, and he knew that this boy was Will Turner, the son of Bill Turner and Arabella Smith.
According to the book "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow", Arabella Smith was Captain Jack Sparrow's first mate, and they once traveled together on the Brent Goose to search for the Sword of Cortez.
This sword once belonged to the Spanish colonist Hernan Cortez, who used it to lead his army to conquer the Aztec Empire and imprison the souls of the Inca royal family.
Jack accidentally stole the scabbard of the Sword of Cortes at the Faithful Bride Bar where Arabella was serving, and he and Arabella started a journey to find the sword.
They find the Sword of Cortez, but are haunted by the ghost of Hernan Cortez, from whom Jack learns exquisite sword skills.
However, according to the setting, in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Will Turner's swordsmanship is the best, James Norrington and Hector Barbossa's swordsmanship is evenly matched, and Captain Jack's swordsmanship is the worst.
Jack then found a way to lift the soul seal of the Inca royal family with the help of the voodoo witch Tia Dalma. Eventually the souls of the Inca royal family were released and died together with the ghost of Hernan Cortez.
