The " Eye of Observation " Little White has evolved from a single entity into a special trinity. It can exist as a single entity, or it can be awakened by Wang Zhen and split into three identical Little White, forming a monitoring area covering a hundred miles in the air.

Now, three Little White are flying along a specific route in the air above this sea area, monitoring the area within a hundred miles. Wang Zhen had the " Hela Finkel " hidden behind an island reef outside the white mist because he had seen through the Little White creatures a huge sailing warship heading straight for Isla de Muerta with an arrogant and domineering attitude, without the slightest hesitation or deviation. Obviously, there were people on the Royal Navy flagship " Dauntless " who knew the location and route of Isla de Muerta and were guiding this sea behemoth.

"Elizabeth Swann is truly the leading lady. Not only does she have a doting father who adores her, but she also has the affection of Major General Norrington, the unrequited love of the male lead, Will Turner, and the enigmatic Jack Sparrow. This ' Dauntless truly lives up to its name; they are truly fearless in their pursuit of reclaiming Elizabeth Swann."

Dauntless was a first-class battleship of the British Royal Navy, displacing approximately 3,500 tons and armed with 100 guns. Aside from being slightly slower, its specifications were nearly perfect. Not only were its guns larger than the standard 16-pounder, but its hull was also far more robust than that of conventional warships. This is why Rear Admiral Norrington piloted this warship with such ruthless abandon, charging straight towards Isla de Muerta, not only to rescue his beloved Elizabeth Swann, but also to annihilate Barbossa's Black Pearl.

According to the information Rear Admiral Norrington had, the Black Pearl had no advantage over the Dauntless except for its speed. If the Interceptor hadn't been stolen in the chaos, Rear Admiral Norrington wouldn't have needed to pursue it so hard, as the Interceptor's speed was comparable to the Black Pearl. In that case, the Interceptor would have only needed to Interceptor it, while the Dauntless could have used its superior firepower to completely subdue the Black Pearl. In that case, with two ships against one, they might even have been able to capture this legendary pirate ship whose fame had even reached London!

Unfortunately, with the Interceptor gone, Rear Admiral Norrington could only focus on the pursuit and planned to take advantage of the complex sea conditions around Isla de Muerta to prevent the Black Pearl from using its speed advantage and make it a target for the Dauntless's 24-pounder and 32-pounder guns in the sea full of reefs and shipwrecks!

"Captain, Barbossa's pirate gang has come out!"

Just then, Nie Quanzhen suddenly spoke up.

This is what she saw through the " Liquid Shadow." Clearly, these pirates, who were overjoyed and waiting to break free of the curse, had been tricked by Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter!

The immense psychological gap caused these pirates to overlook many issues. Even Barbossa, the cunning pirate king, neglected the pride of the Royal Navy. He didn't see anything wrong with plundering Port Royal, nor did he think that kidnapping a woman would be a big problem. However, he overlooked the fact that Port Royal was a colony of the British Empire, with a governor and Royal Navy garrison. Under such circumstances, the pirates had wreaked havoc, Infinite Terror: Death Alchemy, killing, and looting. Not only was the governor's daughter kidnapped, but even the warship G7 Coffee Interceptor was lost. This was tantamount to humiliating the Royal Navy. If Norrington couldn't handle the aftermath, his career would be over. Forget about promotion and wealth; he might even be kicked out of the Royal Navy.

Rear Admiral Norrington gazed at the thin mist shrouding the waters around Isla de Muerta. He had to suppress his murderous intent and ask the unreliable Jack Sparrow what was going on. He also gave the blacksmith Will Turner a look filled with murderous intent and anger. He genuinely loathed Jack Sparrow, the pirate, and naturally hated Will Turner, his rival. If Will Turner hadn't rescued Jack Sparrow first, and hadn't claimed they knew Barbossa's pirates' destination— Isla de Muerta —under the pretense of rescuing Elizabeth Swann, Rear Admiral Norrington would never have allowed these two men onto his flagship, the Dauntless!

Despite having a gun pointed at his head and a sword at his chest, Jack Sparrow remained fearless. He continued his frivolous, rambling charade, wasting considerable time before finally explaining, incoherently, why Barbossa had hidden the treasures he had plundered over the years in this location. He explained that the perpetual fog obstructed visibility, making navigation difficult, and the sea was riddled with reefs and countless shipwrecks, making it impossible for unfamiliar people to enter. Anyone who ventured in recklessly would only end up with their ship destroyed and their lives lost.

Of course, this maverick captain had a firm grasp on his demeanor, enough to ensure that after just three sentences of conversation, anyone would feel the urge to rip out his guts and strangle him with them!

Major General Norrington wants to do just that!

However, to rescue Elizabeth Swann and wipe out Barbossa's pirate gang, taking their heads back to atone for his crimes, he needed the damned pirate Jack Sparrow to guide him. Although Norrington hated the two men to the core, as a Rear Admiral in the Royal Navy, Norrington was a veteran naval officer who knew the importance of sea routes, especially places like Isla de Muerta where pirates hid their treasure. Therefore, although he desperately wanted to kill the two men, he gritted his teeth and restrained himself.

After all, compared to Elizabeth Swann and his own future, Jack Sparrow and Will Turner weren't that important!

Sure enough, although Jack Sparrow was unreliable, he still took the helm himself and slowly steered the " Dauntless " into the fog-shrouded waters of Isla de Muerta!

As the " Dauntless " slowly entered the white fog, Rear Admiral Norrington felt a chill creep over him, which made his heart sink. The white fog around him didn't look very thick, but he couldn't see anything beyond the ship's side. As they went deeper, even the deck was shrouded in white fog, and visibility was reduced to just a few meters.

"Stop! Jack Sparrow! I said stop! Don't go any further!"

"Jack Sparrow, what's with this fog?!"

"Heh, Major General Norrington, you've finally come to your senses! Not bad, you've come to your senses just in time!"

Welcome to the " White Mist Maze Labyrinth" of the " Black Pearl "!
