Aerial 720-Degree Spin with Three and a Half Backflips
Barbossa considered it natural that the Sea Queen would lose its course; he had been prepared for this all along, for only by losing its way could it reach the Demon Prison, a place no living person had ever been before.
There's no need to do anything; just let the Sea Queen go with the current and not even need to control the rudder.
Russell hadn't missed Barbossa's every move. He knew what was going on but didn't say much. He let Barbossa take the helm because he trusted the old captain's skills. Since the other had made his judgment, he would let him do as he pleased.
"Jason, whether you like it or not, you'll have to go swimming in the sea later."
The calm, slow current gradually became turbulent, and the Sea Queen's speed increased. Russell's senses were enhanced, and he heard a thunderous roar coming from afar, transforming the Thunder Beast back into Clow Cards.
The deck was in complete chaos, with many crew members running around like headless flies. Turner was shouting and yelling at Barbossa, telling the crew to pull the sails and turn around.
Russell stood on the ship's railing, surrounded by a glittering starry sky, while the sea surged rapidly forward. Following the direction of the water flow, he could vaguely see the white line at the edge of the waterfall.
"Rumble—"
Tai Huang ran up to Russell, his Shocker: "Sir, Barbossa has gone mad. He's sailed the Sea Queen to the edge of the waterfall."
"Give the order to everyone to find a good spot and hold on tight to the ropes, and make sure they don't fall off the boat."
Tai Huang stared in disbelief as he went to carry out the mission, but the pirates were already in chaos, all thinking about how to escape in this life-or-death situation, and no one paid any attention to him.
The enormous roar grew closer and closer. The sea ahead reached the edge of the world, forming a deep abyss that stretched out in a straight line. Further ahead lay a dark void, as if proving to people that the earth was not a sphere but a square.
The surging seawater crashed down from the heights, transforming into a breathtaking waterfall. Turner and Elizabeth still refused to give up on their rescue, organizing the crew to turn the ship around at full speed. However, the turbulent current was too fast, and the Sea Queen was already at the edge of the falls. Even if they turned around, it would only change the position of the ship as it plunged into the abyss.
On the entire the Sea Queen, apart from Barbossa who was laughing heartily, only Russell and Tia Dorma remained unchanged, the latter even taking the time to do a divination.
What is the survival rate?
Tia Dorma paused for a moment, then gave Russell a wicked smile, "You've got it wrong, I'm calculating what to eat for lunch tomorrow."
"So what should we eat for lunch tomorrow?"
"Peanuts."
Peanuts!?
David Jones is setting up an agricultural production base in the Demon Prison, so where did the peanuts come from?
Russell shrugged. If the goddess had the leisure to joke, it meant the crisis wasn't too serious. Since that was the case, he had nothing to be afraid of and would just treat it as a rafting trip.
But honestly, doing something reckless once in a while feels... kind of nice.
Russell shook his head, trying to dispel the inexplicable evil thoughts that had arisen within him. He must not continue down this path of depravity, or he might awaken some strange attributes. It was safer to play it safe and wait in the bushes.
On the other side, Jason had himself bound hand and foot to the mast. Russell walked over and leaned against him, saying, "Hold on tight. Don't let go, even if it kills you. If you dare to let go, I'll throw away your knife."
"Rumble—"
The Sea Queen ship tilted, revealing a bottomless abyss before them. The surging seawater, carrying immense force, crashed into the waterfall, creating a terrifying roar.
Amidst the screams and cries of the crew, the Sea Queen performed a 720-degree aerial somersault, flipping backward three and a half times, in an extremely difficult pose... well, it hadn't even hit the water yet, the waterfall was a bit too high.
"Ughh..."
The people on the ship screamed, but after a while, no one made a sound. The descent was going on for a long time, and they doubted that they would ever reach the bottom in their lifetime.
During the rapid descent, Russell was initially a little panicked, but as time went on, he began to wonder about his surroundings. Looking around, all he saw was pitch blackness, much like an endless abyss.
This is certainly not a natural geographical environment. Considering the distorted background of Pirates of the Caribbean, he turned his attention to relevant details in Greek mythology. He wondered if the end of the abyss led to the sea or the underworld, whether it was ruled by Poseidon or Hades, and whether he would pass by the Wailing Wall.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept in, and a large white spray erupted below. Just as the boat was about to freefall and everyone was about to be smashed into pieces, the world spun around, and a force of gravity dragged them into the water, causing the entire world to change dramatically.
The darkness vanished without a trace, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and the world went from night to day in the blink of an eye.
It was still the vast ocean, so high that it was impossible to distinguish east from west or north from south. The azure sea exemplified the saying "too clear water has no fish," beautiful and unique but lacking in vitality, a scene of lifelessness.
The Sea Queen shattered into pieces the moment it hit the water, but the crew members miraculously survived and swam towards a silvery-white sandy beach.
"Idiot, now's the time to let go... um... Gollum glug~~"
Russell struggled to break free from Jason's grasp, cut the rope with his knife, and dragged him to the surface. But as soon as he stood on the water, Jason sank back down with a doggy-paddle. Left with no other option, Russell carried Jason on his shoulder.
"Hey, you're not really afraid of water, are you?"
Russell walked across the water toward the beach, saying to his son with exasperation, "I told you, you're designed to be eaten. Your fear of water is just psychological. If you can't even overcome this mental barrier, you're a waste of your size."
Jason: (._.)
"No talking back. From today onwards, your character is not supposed to be afraid of water!"
Russell walked steadily on the water, leaving the pirates he overtook dumbfounded. Some were so shocked that they forgot to tread water and had to swallow seawater to come to their senses.
The crash site was not far from the beach, and the pirates soon swam ashore with the waves. They looked at Russell with awe, as many people had witnessed what had just happened.
"Is this David Jones's hell?"
"What a barren wasteland!"
After landing on the beach, the group gazed at the desert formed by the sea of sand, with undulating dunes stretching to the horizon. The question then arose: how to find Jack in the desert?
Who will go look for them?
This is a very real problem. At the beach, you can survive for a while on supplies washed ashore by the waves, but plunging into the desert is truly a death sentence. Leaving aside the odds of finding Jack, even if you did find him, what are the chances of him surviving?
The pirates were in a chaotic uproar, not because they were looking for Jack, but because the Sea Queen was destroyed and they were trapped and doomed.
"Jack is right here..."
Tia Dorma looked at Russell with great interest, holding a stone crab the size of a pebble in her palm.
Russell was horrified by her strange gaze. Her split mouth was full of black teeth, and black liquid kept flowing from between them. The goddess's human form was truly unrecognizable.
How did Jack manage to get his penis in back then? Did he turn off the lights?
Russell quickly turned his head away, wanting to find something beautiful to cleanse his eyes, but what he saw when he turned around was a steep cliff... cough, and then he saw Turner supporting Elizabeth.
Tsk, even getting him wet can't save Ping, he's hopeless!
Turner must be a rock climbing enthusiast, but this cliff is too steep, a vertical 90 degrees. Can he climb it?
Women have a very keen Sixth Sense. Elizabeth noticed the malicious gaze and immediately covered her chest with both hands, glaring at Russell with a fierce look.
Russell rolled his eyes. "What's there to hide? When I'm wet, even two soybeans stuffed in my mouth are more interesting than you!"
Just then, a rustling sound came from a sand dune near the beach, and the sound grew closer and closer.
As everyone looked up, they saw a black mast slowly rising from behind the sand dune, followed by a large ship with a black hull and even black sails sliding down the dune.
"It's the Black Pearl! The Black Pearl!!"
"How is this possible? The ship is sailing on land?!"
Jack's old crew cheered, while the Chinese pirates stared in disbelief. The Black Pearl, of course, was incapable of navigating on land; countless stone crabs swarmed along its hull, propelling it forward. The scene was so striking that many didn't notice the hull and thus missed Tia Dorma's sorcery.
At the very top of the Black Pearl's mainmast, a flamboyant figure faces the sea, raising his arms to enjoy the sea breeze.
Russell could almost hear background music playing in his ears. "What a devilish man, is he Jack Sparrow?"
"To be precise, he should be called Captain Jack Sparrow," Turner added.
