As soon as Jack Sparrow uttered his three denials, the Black Pearl " shuddered slightly. At the same time, the information on Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, and Zheng Guandong's God Watch was updated in real time!

"Mission to seize the Black Pearl complete. 1 B-rank side quest, 5000 reward points."

"Please decide on the captain within 30 seconds."

"Countdown begins, 30,"

29,"

28,"

"..."

Zhang Jie indicated that Zheng Zha should serve as captain. The two people in the Zhongzhou Team 2 have decision-making power. Zheng Guandong is a newcomer and it is still uncertain whether he can survive this story world, so he is naturally not qualified to participate in this decision.

"The captain of the Black Pearl ' will be Zheng Zha!"

With Zheng Zha's affiliation to the " Black Pearl," Zheng Zha became the captain of this legendary pirate ship. As he became captain, he also learned some of the " Black Pearl's" secrets.

The Black Pearl Black Pearl was a medium-sized sailing ship with an angel carrying a dove as its figurehead. It had three large masts hoisting sails, and its hull was jet black. Most notably, even its sails were black, hence the legendary pirate ship was also known as the "Black-Sailed Ship," becoming a symbol of terror in the Caribbean Sea. Although only a medium-sized three-masted sailing ship, the Black Pearl was equipped with 32 16-pounder cannons: 14 on the top deck and 18 inside the cabins. Its streamlined hull provided far greater speed and maneuverability than other ships, and combined with the firepower of its 32 cannons, it was truly a ship that was faster than others and more powerful than others!

What's even more troublesome is that the " Black Pearl " is a ghost ship resurrected from a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea by Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones, the captain of the " Flying Dutchman "! Therefore, the " Black Pearl " possesses the ability to hide and conceal itself in the " White Mist Maze," and coupled with its extremely high speed and maneuverability, it has created the legendary pirate ship's infamous reputation.

What about the three of them?

Zheng Zha glanced at Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann, who stood quietly like chickens beside him, and casually asked Zhang Jie a question.

"Them?"

"Stay and be a crew member! There are only three of us, including the two of us and Zheng Guandong. Don't even mention that you can skillfully operate this ship. I know the technology, but I can't actually drive it myself. As for Zheng Guandong, he doesn't even know the technology."

Zhang Jie rolled his eyes. Did he think he was as indifferent to human life as Wang Zhen? He was a seasoned veteran who had never killed anyone with his own hands.

Zheng Zha asked casually. Since the beginning of the Resident Evil storyline, the two had been together. He knew Zhang Jie very well and that although his face was covered with Scar, making him look fierce and ruthless, he was actually a good person.

Hearing Zhang Jie's words, Jack Sparrow and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and knew that they had survived this time.

"My name is Zheng Zha, his name is Zhang Jie, and the one in front is Zheng Guandong! I am now the captain of the ' Black Pearl,' and as is customary, I'd like to ask you all: I'm recruiting you as crew members of the ' Black Pearl,' do you agree?"

Zheng Zha then looked at the trio of main characters in the Pirates of the Caribbean storyline. He knew that the series of films revolved around these three, but the most important character was Jack Sparrow, while Will Turner and Elizabeth Sparrow were less significant.

In particular, Jack Sparrow possesses superb navigation and driving skills, and also has a " Wish Compass " that neither points south nor north, nor is it affected by magnetism or other forces; it only points to what its owner desires!

Zheng Zha had asked Zhang Jie before, which was actually out of habit. After all, he had seen this movie series and was quite familiar with this trio of main characters, especially Jack's magical " Wish Compass." For the two who wanted to find the other ships on the mission list, Jack Sparrow was simply the best hunting dog to track down those famous sailing ships!

Although Zheng Zha had asked, the two of them easily boarded the " Black Pearl " and got Barbossa. Jack Sparrow, being a smart man, naturally didn't play any tricks like pleading or begging; he agreed immediately. Zheng Zha then arranged for him to sit behind the helm, entrusting him with the task of piloting the " Black Pearl."

"My esteemed captain, may I know where we're headed next and what we're going to do? We can't stay here indefinitely."

Jack gripped the helm of the " Black Pearl " again, his heart still pounding with excitement. However, he was used to his carefree and nonchalant attitude, and no one could see the true expression on his face, which changed so easily with his emotions!

"We want to chase after the Flying Dutchman, Queen Anne's Revenge, the Silent Mary..."

"And other famous sailing warships!"

"Whether they were pirates or British Royal Navy!"

Zheng Zha said with a smile.

"That's impossible!"

"Jack, you just focus on steering the boat, you don't need to worry about anything else! Even though there are only two of us, it's enough!"

Zheng Zha glanced at Jack Sparrow, whose expression had changed drastically, and said casually.

Jack Sparrow nodded to indicate that he understood, and then prepared to set sail. Since they were all crew members, the pirate couple Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann naturally couldn't be idle.

Although they were the main characters, neither Zheng Zha nor Zhang Jie ever considered groveling or currying favor with powerful figures.

With a weapon in hand, the desire to kill arises naturally.

Having acquired extraordinary power, are you really going to become a subordinate of these ordinary people?

Even the main character can't do it!

Then, Jack Sparrow, who possessed the core technology, became the helmsman. He then took out the " Wish Compass " that never pointed north and began to search for the locations of the ships that Zheng Zha had mentioned earlier. Sure enough, the three legendary pirate ships were difficult to locate. He then tried to locate the ship he was most familiar with.

"Work hard!"

East India Company ships!

Lord Beckett's flagship, the one who personally branded Jack Sparrow with the pirate mark!

This time, the location was locked down very smoothly, or rather, Jack Sparrow harbored a deep grudge against him, which allowed him to lock onto the target's location so quickly.

"Captain, I just tried locking onto the ships you mentioned— the Flying Dutchman, Queen Anne's Revenge, and the Silent Mary —but I couldn't lock onto one called the Endeavour!"

You could say Jack Sparrow is either courting death or on his way to it; he just escaped death and immediately started talking nonsense.

It's normal that the Flying Dutchman's lock-on is uncertain! After all, this legendary pirate ship rarely surfaces and usually sails on the seabed, like a submarine.

The fact that the " Queen Anne's Revenge " couldn't be locked simply means that Jack Sparrow didn't want to find it at all. This legendary pirate ship belonged to Blackbeard Edward Teach, a Voodoo with his father, and he didn't want to deal with someone so skilled in curses. If he didn't want to, the compass naturally wouldn't lock.

The " Silent Mary " was untraceable, and that was also why Jack Sparrow didn't want to look for it! That was the battle that made Jack Sparrow famous after becoming captain. In the end, he used his extraordinary wisdom and ingenuity to Butcher Salazar's " Silent Mary " in the Devil's Triangle. He knew the location without even needing a compass. Although Jack became famous in that battle, it was also the most dangerous battle of his life. Naturally, he didn't want to go looking for that madman Salazar again.

Of the other ordinary warships, only the Endeavour, Lord Beckett's flagship of the East India Company, caught his eye and was thus located by him.

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie exchanged a knowing smile. They had both guessed Jack Sparrow's little scheme, but Jack obviously didn't know their purpose. Therefore, it didn't matter which ship they looked for; any ship was their target!
