Blackbeard sat under the oil painting, his back was ramrod straight. If not for his aquiline nose that accentuated his viciousness, he would look like a British Royal Navy commander. Davy Jones was lazily leaning on a chair, but his aura was still overflowing, extremely domineering. When he noticed someone entering, he glanced over. Sheyan was extremely quick-witted, he immediately completed his identity change, bowing and saying.
"Boss."
Davy Jones nodded, squinting his eyes he said.
"The weapon you offered me, was it really snatched from Ammand's hands? “
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders innocently saying.
"Boss, the number of people who recognise this weapon is more than the sharks in the caribbean sea!"
Davy Jones laughed heartily, facing Blackbeard who had a steel-like cold expression.
"I feel that my third mate is absolutely right."
Davy Jones laughed, Sheyan finally felt the pressure around him lessen. He raised his eyes to take a look, his heart skipped a beat. Because the sword in the hands of the renowned Blackbeard was extremely familiar, it looked exactly like the silver storyline weapon he offered to Davy Jones – Ammand's silver rapier! It was already unsheathed from its sheath, but Sheyan's observation skills were exceptionally sharp, after a few more glances he discovered a difference. Because this rapier's guard had a very exaggerated curve, coincidentally curving towards the right, while Ammand's rapier was curving towards the left.
At this moment, Blackbeard retrieved another rapier, this rapier was Ammand's silver rapier. The two unsheathed swords were placed side by side on the table. Apart from the fact that the hilt was bent in the opposite direction, the two swords had the same appearance, shape, and even the faint silver glow. It was as if they were reflected in a mirror. Blackbeard coldly glanced at Sheyan, then once again gazed at the two weapons on the table.
At this moment, Sheyan had already roughly deduced the cause and effect of this matter. Davy Jones should have already known that Blackbeard was secretly searching for this type of weapon, and was obviously searching for it with extreme thirst. Therefore, after he obtained the weapon that he had offered up, he immediately informed Blackbeard to come over. Blackbeard, on the other hand, was unable to find the mystery of the sword after obtaining it. He might have thought that it was a fake, so he called him over to verify it.
Of course, there was a suspicious point. That was why Blackbeard didn't directly snatch the weapon from Ammand? The first possibility was that he couldn't snatch it, because Ammand was a formidable and alert person. But according to Sheyan's conjecture, the bigger possibility was that he didn't know!
In this era, anyone with a bit of status would use this type of western rapier. For example, the main character of the movie, Jack Sparrow, was also an expert in using rapiers. This type of rapier was the standard equipment used by the British Royal Navy to pick up girls for self-defense. Although this world did not have the extreme concept of a person being in possession of a sword, but one's personal weapon was still extremely important. Even if Blackbeard was the captain of one of the three legendary pirate ships, he would never ask to see another person's weapon whenever he saw them.
Blackbeard stared at the two rapiers for a long time, repeatedly trying to place the two rapiers together. He even carefully examined Ammand's silver rapier, as though he was trying to dissect it with his gaze. Finally, his expression turned gloomy as he shook his head, sighing deeply as he stood up to leave. At this moment, Sheyan suddenly spoke up.
"Please forgive my presumptuousness, sir. I've discovered a strange phenomenon, can you enlighten me about your confusion?"
Blackbeard once again glanced at Sheyan, his eyes carried a clear ridicule and contempt, he didn't speak and walked out. But at the instance his palm touched the cabin door, Sheyan added another sentence.
"If you tell me, then there may be a sliver of hope to solve the problem. But if you leave now, then there will be no hope at all."
Perhaps the long search had exhausted Blackbeard's patience, or perhaps Sheyan's self-confidence had convinced him. Blackbeard's body stiffened for a brief moment before he abruptly turned his head. His voice was hoarse like steel.
"If you dare reveal my secret! Then I will definitely turn you into a resurrected corpse, forever serving as the lowest class slave on my ship! "
"Peng!" Davy Jones heavily smashed his wooden wine cup onto the table, the rum spilling over half the table. This Scottish brute's expression was gloomy as he spoke.
"Mr Teach (Blackbeard's real name is Edward Teach), this isn't the Queen Anne's Revenge, the fate of my third officer is decided by me!"
Blackbeard wasn't afraid at all, he coldly glanced back. Sheyan who was in the middle of the two tycoons' aura instantly felt his legs becoming unstable, his entire body aching incomparably as he staggered back a few steps. But at this moment, Blackbeard suddenly opened his mouth and spoke.
"This sword of mine, I obtained it 10 years ago, that time ….. you don't need to know the specifics, but it is said that the person who obtained this sword, would be invincible in boarding battles. But it is not complete, legends say that only by finding its other half can one display its greatest might. "
Hearing till here, Sheyan finally understood, suddenly enlightened.
"So no matter how you look at it, Ammand's sword fulfils the criteria of the other half of the sword in your hand. But it doesn't display any peculiarities."
Blackbeard didn't speak, but his eyes had already acknowledged Sheyan's conjecture. Instead, Sheyan smiled faintly.
"Just like what your excellency can see, I am sitting near the door." “
Blackbeard frowned, obviously about to explode. What does a small pirate like you sitting there have to do with me? Instead, Davy Jones gazed at Sheyan with interest. Because to a pirate, Sheyan's current position was coincidentally facing away from the cabin door. This was extremely inauspicious, probably due to the precarious lifestyle of a pirate. Sitting in such a position signified that any stranger entering could directly threaten his vitals. Once an intruder harbored malicious intent, he wouldn't even know how he died. Sheyan continued, "That's right.
"Because I am sitting in this position, I am able to see what the two of you are unable to see. “
Blackbeard's heart stirred, as though there was an unexplainable throbbing in his heart. The only thing missing was a piece of paper that wasn't pierced through! Sheyan continued, "That's right.
"Coincidentally, the sword sheath that I presented to boss was placed beside your seat. When you held onto your weapon, I saw that the sword sheath actually emitted a radiance!"
Although the design of the two silver rapiers were almost identical, the scabbard of Ammand's rapier was exceedingly old. It appeared to be tattered and unremarkable, with a layer of black rags wrapped around it. It was no wonder Blackbeard casually placed it beside his chair. Speaking till here, Sheyan enunciated each word clearly.
"I feel, the other half of a sword, may not necessarily be the same as the other sword. This is as rare as two men successfully forming a family! The true meaning of the other half of the legend, I'm afraid it is referring to ….. its sheath!! "
Sheyan hadn't finished speaking, Blackbeard's eyes had already emitted a blazing radiance that seemed to burn his soul! He opened his palm and the silver rapier that he had brought with him automatically flew into his palm. He then used his leg to hook the scabbard beside the stool. However, he only hooked onto empty air! Raising his head to look, Davy Jones had used some unknown method to firmly grasp the sword sheath in his hand. This Scottish brute's eyes leaked out an excited yet cruel glint, his enormous brandy nose flushed red. Davy Jones's lips curled into a treacherous smile, yet he spoke with a mild tone.
"Dearest Tiki, I suddenly regret my previous transaction. Therefore, I am willing to pay the penalty to the God of Contracts in exchange for the ownership of this item! "
Once Davy Jones said! Davy Jones laughed heartily, then patted Sheyan's shoulder and said.
"Beautifully done!"
Blackbeard maintained a straight face, but from his white knuckles that were gripping his rapier hilt, one could tell that his mood wasn't pleasant. If a trusted aide who was familiar with Blackbeard's sinister character was here, he would naturally know that this was an expression of extreme fury. But! Right now, the one sitting in front of him was Davy Jones! This was a man who could contend against him in terms of influence and personal strength! Furthermore, they were on the Flying Dutchman?
"State your price." Blackbeard sat back on the stool. His eyes were slightly squinted, looking like a cobra that stood up to devour its prey, brimming with viciousness and overbearingness. On the other hand, Davy Jones sat on the stool in an imposing manner. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his right hand, then curled up his thumb, middle finger and little finger. Using the remaining two fingers, he proudly waved them in the air.
Blackbeard's facial muscles twitched, he once again glanced at Davy Jones, suddenly retrieving two items from his belt. The first item looked extremely strange, it was actually a flat pouch woven out of old cloth and red silk. It was only the size of a palm, and the opening of the pouch was strangely shaped like a woman's breasts. Sheyan wasn't clear about this item at that time, only after returning to the present world did he know. This was a very famous item of the Caribbean Sea World, called Dakan Momo. (To be continued.
