Wang Zhen didn't care what Davy Jones thought. This octopus-headed captain was treacherous and cunning. Although the sea goddess Calypso was capricious, irritable, and tyrannical, she kept her promise and made Davy Jones the captain of the " Flying Dutchman." However, Davy Jones later regretted it, feeling that he couldn't stand Calypso's unpredictable temperament, nor could he bear the daily life of transporting the souls of those who died at sea to the underworld, only able to come ashore once every ten years. So he colluded with the nine pirate kings to seal the sea goddess Calypso. He himself no longer kept his promise to transport the souls of the dead, instead living a life of wantonness, attacking ships at will.
This is what Wang Zhen dislikes most about Davy Jones!
Although Barbossa, the Caspian Pirate King, was habitually prone to betrayal, he was also willing to bear the consequences without hesitation. For example, during the search for the Fountain of Youth, even when Blackbeard Edward Teach ambushed him, stole his " Black Pearl," and forced him to cut off his own leg in battle to escape, he was willing to even pledge allegiance to the King in exchange for resources so he could turn back to Edward Teach and steal his " Queen Anne's Revenge "!
What about David Jones?
Initially, he was looking to gain more benefits by living off a rich woman. But when she gave him the Flying Dutchman " and a stable job, he complained that she was too ruthless and he couldn't stand it anymore. Plus, the job, while stable, only offered one day off every ten years, which was too tiring, and he couldn't take it anymore.
So why didn't you do this sooner?
When you decided to live off a rich woman, didn't you know she was a pervert?
When you received the Flying Dutchman and became its captain, didn't you know that you would be doing hard labor for ten years before you could get a single day off?
You knew all of this, but you still agreed.
So, aren't all the pain and exhaustion self-inflicted?
Wang Zhen stood at the bow, gazing into the distance. He didn't see Davy Jones's small eyes darting around. Clearly, this long-time captain of the ghost ship, though unable to endure the pain and confessing, now that the pain was over, his intelligence had returned, and he couldn't help but want to fight for his life!
Davy Jones was notoriously afraid of death, and now that Wang Zhen had clearly told him that he was going to be killed, how could he not rack his brains to figure out how to escape?
After devouring the sea monster Kraken and seizing and digesting its bloodline, the Yamata no Orochi clone became stronger. This made Wang Zhen realize that if the Yamata no Orochi clone wanted to awaken, it had to devour as many mythical creatures or their bloodlines as possible.
Good heavens, this is quite the glutton. The increase in the Kraken bloodline is only equivalent to 1%, which shows how difficult it is to achieve. After all, even in the mythological era, the Kraken was one of the overlords of the sea and was extremely powerful.
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.
Wang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In fact, he understood that this was essentially telling him that he should directly hunt down mythical creatures and gods. Otherwise, hunting down those bloodline descendants would require too much quantity and take too much time. It would be better to hunt down the source directly, although it was dangerous, it was simple and convenient.
"David Jones, is that the island you mentioned just ahead?"
Wang Zhen saw a small island in the distance, whose shape was somewhat similar to the location David Jones had described. Without turning his head, he asked...
"It seems so. It's too far away for me to be sure, but the beach on that island is white sand."
David Jones wanted to deny it outright, but he had to swallow all the excuses he had just prepared and choose to tell the truth.
The " Hela Finkel " was extremely fast. During the journey, Wang Zhen ate a meal of squid sashimi, which increased the strength of his Yamata no Orochi clone. Naturally, he was very happy about this. Not only had he found a way to improve his strength, but this method also suited his interests perfectly. He was overjoyed.
In no time, Wang Zhen stood on the white sand beach of the small island, his feet sinking into the soft sand. He didn't follow David Jones's instructions to go to the center of the island—a cave hidden in the cliff face—but instead took a few steps on the beach and stopped. Then, without him making any move, it was as if an unseen force was digging through the sand in front of him. The white sand quickly parted to both sides, and then the land beneath the sand continued to part to both sides as the unseen force dug, until it reached a depth of two meters. At the bottom of this deep pit, a very solid box was finally revealed.
Then, the box was held up by an invisible hand. Wang Zhen saw that the box was exactly the same as the one in the movie, and through his telepathy, he could clearly see that there was a heart inside the box. Moreover, this heart was very strangely not rotting, but was beating rhythmically.
The heart... it's still alive!
That's right!
Although Davy Jones' heart had left his body, it continued to beat under the influence of certain strange rules.
"Is that why Davy Jones can't die no matter what?"
"As long as this heart doesn't die, his body won't die."
Although Wang Zhen still hasn't figured out the underlying principle of this situation, that doesn't stop him from developing a research plan for it.
When he carried the box back to the Hela Finkel with one hand and stood in front of Davy Jones, Davy Jones's small eyes instantly filled with fear!
In the cave hidden among the cliffs in the center of the island, he placed an identical box, which even contained a human heart. However, that heart had been crafted using Voodoo magic and was not rotten. The only difference was that the heart could not beat.
David Jones thought this arrangement would fool everyone. He believed that as long as Wang Zhen destroyed the heart, he could immediately play dead and possibly escape!
However, Davy Jones never expected that Wang Zhen only didn't know the location of the island, not the location of the Dead Man's Chest containing Davy Jones's heart!
"Davis Jones, you're not being honest!"
With a casual grab of his hands, Wang Zhen tore the meticulously crafted Dead Man's Chest, which was impervious to blades and gunfire, to shreds. Davy Jones's still-beating heart fell into Wang Zhen's hands.
"I... I can take you to Tia Dilma!"
"I can tell you how to break the seal and release Calypso!"
