Under normal circumstances, if Skrtel barged in alone, and Sheyan quickly apologized and released him, he should've gained a lot of face right? Perhaps, he would've had the demeanour of a molecular dragon charging into Changban and slaughtering his way out. Instead, Skrtel's expression was incomparably ugly. To many of the elders of Tortuga, they had only seen Skrtel smiling, and had never seen such a seething expression.
The reason why Skrtel displayed such an expression was simple. Because he knew, although Sheyan appeared courteous and low-key, the face he had lost today was unlikely to be recovered. If he forcefully sought to regain it, the price he would have to pay would be the frequent sinking of his merchant ships. Perhaps, not even a single ship would reach its destination. Even if he didn't want to sink, it would be impossible! Compared to the loss of his fortune, a slight loss of face wasn't much.
Since Sheyan was able to serve that gigantic freak so comfortably, then he definitely possessed the capability to make that freak find trouble with several specific ships. To the simplistic logic of Paul the Octopus, the significance of sinking several ships was roughly the same as breaking open a few shells to eat the meat within.
Skrtel understood his own limitations, and knew he definitely couldn't handle Paul the Octopus. Hence, he could only forcefully swallow his anger.
Redbeard and Hoss also understood this point. Although they were hanging upside down, they could clearly see the thick tentacles of Paul the Octopus. Don't even mention a V class ship, even a higher class VII class ship could be dragged into the deep sea. Hence, the two of them understood their own limitations. Although they suffered such humiliation, they didn't utter a single vicious word before leaving.
Following that, Sheyan asked Crow to stay behind to reminisce for a while. Only then did he realize that the ghost curse that afflicted the crew of the Flying Dutchman had been dispelled. Oh, perhaps it could be said that an even more formidable curse had replaced it and was currently in effect.
As it turns out, after being afflicted with the ghost curse, Davy Jones was searching everywhere for a way to dispel the curse. Coincidentally, he met the Sea Goddess Calypso and fell in love with her. It was Calypso who suppressed the ghost curse that originated from their bloodline.
For the sake of love, Davy Jones piloted the Flying Dutchman and agreed to help Calypso transport the drowned undead to the underworld. The price was that the Flying Dutchman could only dock once every 10 years. Davy Jones sacrificed his soul for love.
Yet 10 years later, Davy Jones returned on schedule, only to discover that Calypso didn't appear. His beloved had betrayed him. In despair, Davy Jones dug out his own heart, and buried it along with a love letter on that promised little island. From then on, Davy Jones no longer helped Calypso....... and lost his human face..... and freedom..... Even the crew of the Flying Dutchman were affected, turning into murlocs like this.
Crow then inquired about Sheyan's situation. Sheyan started to talk nonsense, explaining that he had discovered a plot by a group of people on the ship, and was accidentally captured. (Crow expressed his understanding, because he felt that Sheyan's current strength was only average ….) Following that, the group of people who plotted against the captain opened up a teleportation portal and escaped, capturing him along with them.
Nevertheless, he managed to find an opportunity to escape from the clutches of those people, and returned to the east. Using mystical witchcraft to treat himself, he managed to suppress the spirit curse. Following that, Sheyan revealed his objective. He explained that his curse had been suppressed for 10 years, and could no longer be suppressed. He needed to find an even stronger curse to fight poison with poison, before finding a way to return to the east to recuperate. Hence, his objective was the Aztec Gold of the Black Pearl … … .he requested the Captain to lend him a hand.
Crow took Sheyan's words to be true, and promised to deliver the message. However, after he left for a while, he used a fish to deliver a letter to Sheyan, conveying a few pieces of information.
Davy Jones's personal message was exceedingly clear.
The first message was, Seaman Yan was the third officer of the Flying Dutchman. He was, is, and will be.
The second message was, the Flying Dutchman and Paul were very busy, and wouldn't provide any direct military assistance to Sheyan.
The third message was, only the crew of the Flying Dutchman knew of this.
To put it bluntly, Sheyan could use the name of the Flying Dutchman to swindle and swindle outside. That was permitted. However, if he encountered a tough opponent like the Black Pearl, the Flying Dutchman wouldn't lend a helping hand.
This outcome was long anticipated by Sheyan. Besides, to the realm, it was impossible for Sheyan to freely utilize such a huge ship like the Flying Dutchman to carry out missions. To be able to use this name, was already an unexpected delight for Sheyan. Furthermore, Sheyan's initial plans and arrangements, didn't include Davy Jones's strength in his calculations.
At present, Sheyan's remaining battleships had arrived at the port. Sheyan directly tossed those messy matters to Ol 'Seadog and Philip, and proceeded according to his previous plans.
Ol 'Seadog and Philip possessed exceptional talents in the field of organizing and dispatching. Furthermore, after Blacksail gained the advantage of speed, his nimbleness and various bizarre alchemy techniques coincidentally complemented Canbi's monstrous strength. The two of them could unleash astonishing results in a boarding battle on the deck. These were the two leading figures Sheyan had considered for a boarding battle.
At this moment, Sheyan discovered another matter. Probably due to his previous confrontation with Skrtel, he had neglected an unremarkable notification from his nightmare imprint.
[Your weapon 'Ambition' has received the blessing of the Kraken 'Paul'.]
Sheyan immediately fished out 'Ambition' and carefully inspected it. Instantly, he discovered that there was indeed an additional attribute on this firearm.
'Ambition + 1'
(Please refer to the previous description for other attributes)
[Additional magical effect: Paul's blessing (passive) – This is the blessing bestowed to this weapon by the Kraken of the deep sea, Paul. Enemies successfully struck by 'Ambition' will be tainted with an ink effect, reducing their accuracy by 80% for 10 seconds. This effect cannot be dispelled.]
[Apart from that, Paul has left an extremely prominent aura on this weapon. It can intimidate other sea creatures and cause them to flee in panic.]
[Details: The intimidating effect of Paul's aura is the best in this world. In other worlds, the effects aren't significant (Because the legendary creatures of other worlds don't even know what Paul is)]
Since Sheyan had already proven his identity, all his previous apprehensions were swept away. Anyone who wanted to deal with him, even if they didn't care about Davy Jones' face, they would still have to give Brother Paul some face. If not, they would have to consider how long their ship could withstand Paul's tentacles! Hence, after Sheyan distributed the wages to the pirates that had just arrived, he felt at ease and allowed them ashore to have some fun.
The pirates had long been stifled on the ship. What was the point of risking their lives? Wasn't it to enjoy themselves after raking in some money? Immediately, they howled with wild laughter as they dispersed in groups of three to five. Sheyan instructed several pirates to stay behind, before leaving with Brother Black and Reef. Incidentally, he also brought along Ol 'Seadog. Ol' Seadog had travelled extensively to many places. At present, if he didn't need to rely on Canbi's might, then Ol 'Seadog was undoubtedly a more suitable candidate.
Sheyan's first consideration was to sell his ship. At present, there were a total of three ships that had arrived at the port; three standard 3-masted battleships of the British Royal Navy. Among them, Sheyan intended to retain one for logistics purposes. Due to the fact that there would often be casualties during boarding battles, this ship would be expanded to increase its transport capacity. Its main purpose and purpose was to transport supplies and corpses of the wounded.
As for Sheyan's current Hill Maiden, most of its long range offensive capabilities had been eliminated. Instead, its main purpose was to transport personnel and speed; to ensure that it could swiftly engage in boarding battles with the enemy.
Therefore, the number of ships Sheyan could sell at present wasn't many; merely two ships. Instead, he had quite a number of cannons. Very quickly, under Ol 'Seadog's guidance, Sheyan arrived at a dock in Tortuga. As Sheyan was about to enter, Ol' Seadog pulled him back and whispered.
"Don't go to this one. We're just passing by. The profiteers here are especially stingy. I've been cheated before. "
Sheyan suddenly laughed heartily.
"What I love the most now is to encounter profiteers!"
As he spoke, he strode in with large strides. Instantly, they discovered a boiling cauldron of voices within.
The owner of this dock appeared to be a shrivelled and shrivelled old man, whose eyes were exceedingly bright.
This old man's business appeared to be rather good. When Sheyan and Sheyan entered, he was currently surrounded by a group of people, who were all chattering noisily. It appeared as though he didn't have the time to greet others. A worker wrapped in a black headscarf strolled forward and spoke to Sheyan and Sheyan.
"Hey friends, our boss has just returned after sending off his friends. Therefore, he doesn't have the time to discuss business with you. The current purchasing price of a sloop here is 20 guineas. If you feel it's too little, then there's no need to discuss further."
When Sheyan heard those words, he instantly knew who were those people surrounding that old man! They were definitely contestants like him. Calculating the time, those fellas riding on the sloop should've arrived at Tortuga. Therefore, the sloop that carried them here could be sold off, and become their first capital. When the profiteers discovered that different parties were dumping their goods in bulk, they would naturally crazily lower the price to earn a huge profit. (To be continued.
