The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 108 60. Because of your outstanding seduction, I sincerely hire you as the professional manager of Bingshan Bar-[4350]

"Jason?"

When the sullen Jason Todd followed Jack Sparrow in classic pirate attire out of the bamboo building, Barbara, who was handing out candies and pastries to the poor children, exclaimed.

She didn't expect that Mason would bring Erbong into this world.

And Er Tong, who was full of murderous intentions, was obviously stunned when he saw Barbara. Especially when he saw that Barbara was not in a wheelchair but walking freely on her legs, the sharp light in his eyes softened.

A lot.

"You shouldn't hang out with Mason Cooper, Barbara."

Jason pulled Barbara out of the crowd. In the shadows beside the bamboo building, he sternly said to Barbara:

"You have no idea what kind of organization he belongs to! You also don't know what these bastards really want to do. They are the source of evil!

They are behind the actions of the League of Assassins in Gotham City!

Were you forced by Mason?

tell me!

I'll kill him in a minute!"

"Actually I know, Jason."

Barbara shook her head and said:

"Mason told me this, he may have withheld some but I believe he told me most of the truth. I knew there would be one more curse on me when I came back through that door.

But this was a choice I made on my own and was not forced."

Barbara looked at the children in ragged clothes who were sharing candy in front of the bamboo building. She held the candy bucket prepared by Mason and the Kite Man in her arms and whispered:

"I made mistakes, and so did you. Our mistakes are so terrible that if we want to continue to live, we must shoulder something heavier.

Compared with the mental pressure and self-condemnation, maybe helping this doomsday civilization and world with my own hands can make my conscience feel better.

You don't have to persuade me, Jason, I know what I'm doing.

It’s you instead.”

Batgirl brushed her hair and glanced at Jason.

Paying special attention to Jason's pupils, Barbara was obviously more worried when she found that the green light spots remaining in his pupils were the same as Mason said.

She said:

"The water in the Lazarus Pool has distorted your thoughts and intensified the darkness in your heart. Jason, we have the same experience and suffering. I know the suffering in your heart.

But it’s over!

I don't know if I can get over this, but I hope you can get back on the road with me.

Instead of being a ruthless executioner in Gotham who doesn't know where he's going, maybe Mason can give us a better choice."

"I don't believe him!"

Er Tong stared blankly at the expression on Barbara's face. He let go of her hand, but gritted his teeth and said:

"That guy is not a good person. You have no idea what he did that night and his hidden true identity, but don't worry, Barbara.

I will stay here to protect you.

If they want to hurt you, they have to get through me first, I promise!"

"Hey, handsome black-haired guy."

Captain Jack, who was leaning against the bamboo building and throwing sweet toffee into his mouth, became a little impatient. He swung the rope of the compass in his hand with his fingers and shouted to Jason:

"Although Turtle Island is not big, it is not small either. It takes at least more than an hour to go around in one circle. You'd better hurry up! I don't want to miss the wonderful show that will be staged on my Black Pearl.

This is the most profitable day since I became a pirate.

Well, the wealth of the whole world is right in front of me for my use, and if it weren't for the damn doomsday right in front of me, I would probably jump for joy."

"Go ahead, Jason, get to know this new place. Don't worry about Mason, he's still my brother legally, he'll take care of me."

Barbara smiled.

He pushed Jason and quietly put a black pistol into Erbong's hand.

This is given to him for self-defense.

Ertong calmly hid the pistol in the loose local robe he was wearing now, and followed Captain Jack with a sullen face on the road to visit Turtle Island.

As a superhero trained by Batman and trained in the League of Assassins for a year and a half, Jason Todd's observation of the environment and control of details are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

He immediately frowned after walking through half of Turtle Island town and observing the drunken bastards and islanders fighting over various trivial matters.

Even without talking to any locals, he had already reached quite a few conclusions.

Compared with the chaos of this hellish place, even Gotham's most desolate residential area, Naihe Island, can be considered "simple".

"Pa"

He followed Captain Jack into the cramped, dark and smelly bar. As a result, a wretched guy who was trying to steal something was grabbed by Jason's wrist and smashed against the wall with an expressionless wave.

This immediately caused a chaos, and a dozen guys with evil faces stood up from everywhere and surrounded them.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Jack Sparrow immediately hid behind the gloomy Jason with a whoosh. He poked his head around and showed a polite but not embarrassing smile to the people around him. He said to Jason in a pretentious tone:

"Oh, my new friend, you are indeed a troublemaker. These guys are not easy to mess with. They are 'locals'."

"It doesn't matter, I'm really angry now!"

Jason moved his fists and asked in a faint tone:

"Is it okay to kill someone?"

"Better not."

Captain Jack stroked his coquettish mustache, picked up the wine bottle next to him, took a sip into his mouth, and whispered:

"There are only so many people left in this world. Even though they are bastards, they still have a life. Just teach them a lesson. But there are more than a dozen of them, and you only have one.

Are you okay?"

"Oh."

Jason moved his neck and made a cracking sound.

He narrowed his eyes and said:

"They need to find a dozen more people to play together to make this 'relaxation game' fairer!"

Ten minutes later.

The drunken Captain Jack cheered, carrying a bag of gems snatched from the chaos, whistling, and followed the expressionless Jason Todd out of the bar where the wounded were already on the ground behind him.

There were no injuries on Er Tong's body.

Except for a small cut on his neck, the wound had stopped bleeding due to excellent self-healing.

And his glorious record was that he single-handedly defeated at least forty drunkards and thirty pirates in the bar. Captain Jack's eyes shone when he saw this terrifying fighting prowess.

It's a pity that the era of pirates in this damn doomsday is almost over, otherwise he would definitely not miss such a good player, and would have tricked him into boarding the ship to become a bosun or something like that.

"Now, I'll give you one-third. This is a pirate's rule."

Captain Jack took out a handful of gems from the small bag and handed it to the second bucket, and said:

"Man, you are really violent. Are you using your fists to express your unhappiness? I saw a smile on your face when you beat them.

Do you enjoy the feeling of hurting others?"

"Don't mind your own business."

Jason replied coldly, rejecting the gems by the way.

However, after a big fight, his gloomy heart relaxed a lot, and he did not refuse when Captain Jack handed him a bottle of rum.

He needed something relaxing to numb his chaotic mood at the moment.

"There's nothing much to see next, unless you're looking for some fun."

Captain Jack took two barrels and found a random spot outside the bar. He kicked down the drunkards who were drinking there and sat on it, giving Jason a lewd smile that every man would understand.

He took out another bottle of wine and said:

"But you don't look like a person who wants to have fun, so let's chat here and tell your story to your brother Jack. Even the stupidest bilge rat knows that you need to listen to stories when drinking.

And you really look like you need an audience."

"I'm not interested in showing my heart to anyone."

Ertong still looked like an autistic but violent young man. He frowned and drank the strange but very strong wine while saying:

"What's more, we are still strangers. I have known you for less than twenty minutes."

"Isn't this better?"

Captain Jack's coquettish eyeshadowed eyes blinked, and he twirled his beard with his orchid fingers in a very feminine manner and said:

"This way you don't have to worry about me leaking the secret. The psychological pressure you have to endure when killing a stranger is different from killing a friend, right?

So if I talk too much you can snap my neck and not worry about being unable to sleep at night.

I mean, before we become friends, let's share.

I won't lie to you either.

I'm hoping to get more information about Mason Cooper from you, because I'm going to have a showdown with that bastard soon, and I don't know anything about him yet."

"Honest enough."

Ertun glanced at Captain Jack and said:

"But stop struggling, you can't beat him. That guy toyed with a group of people a few days ago, and the most powerful one among them can destroy your world with one hand."

“It doesn’t cost anything to try.”

Captain Jack shrugged and said:

"Look at this terrible world, do you think I have any other options? Come on, grumpy Jason, let's talk."

Under Sparrow's superb friend-making skills and very weird but very friendly persuasion, Ertong, who had drank more than half a bottle of wine, finally couldn't bear the loneliness in his heart and finally spoke.

His story is actually not very long.

After all, he is only twenty-one years old this year.

But compared to a normal 21-year-old young man, Erbong's stories were so rich and bizarre that even Captain Jack, who was a little older than him, was fascinated by them.

"So, for some confusing reason, after you came back from the dead, you recognized a thief as your father, and chose to help your adoptive father's enemy kill the adoptive father who trained you.

And you also used the psychological trauma of that lovely and kind girl just now as a breakthrough. Then, you shamelessly feel that you are helping your sisters, and call all this 'for their own good'?

Man, how did you survive to this age without being beaten to death?"

Captain Jack took a sip of wine, gave a thumbs up and concluded:

"If you were born on this sea, you would definitely be born with a bad seed and a good seed. There will definitely be a place for you among the legendary pirates."

"You think I did something wrong?"

Er Tong was not angry at this moment. He just looked at the coquettish stranger in front of him. Under the influence of alcohol, he was a little bored and confused and said:

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I think you are just a spoiled brat!"

Captain Jack pointed his orchid finger at Jason very rudely and said:

"Just because you slept with your adoptive mother, you will be despised in the pirate circle! And you also tried to force your adoptive father to break the strange rules he set for himself.

You probably don't know this, but we bad pirates have rules too.

We call it the Pirate Code, which is the 'professional ethics' that all pirates have heard of but few follow.

Its significance is not whether it is useful in normal times, but that it can save our lives at critical moments when we need to survive.

But if this last rule is broken, everyone will have a bad time.

Rules are meaningless once they are broken.

This is something even pirates understand.

And you hate your adoptive father for not punishing the madman who hurt you because of his rules, but you have never thought that if he really did that, would you really feel relieved by it?

No!

You will only get yourself another bad mess. After all, according to you, giving your adoptive father enough time to prepare can even destroy the world.

So those rules are not protecting bad people.

It’s just to protect you young men who don’t know the sufferings of the world.”

The captain took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth happily, glanced at Jason and pointed at the chaotic town around him and said:

"Besides, do you think your bullshit sufferings can be better than ours? You have an adoptive father who is strict but caring about you and is as rich as the king. You have a group of brothers and sisters who think about you, even when you hurt them.

They won't blame you after that.

You also slept with your adoptive mother.

Damn it!

You can even come back from the dead!

You have everything but still feel like you are living in hell like an insatiable psychopath, but those of us who really live in hell want to get a tenth of your life even if we give everything.

Listen to me, Jason!

You are such an idiot!

No wonder Mason wanted to beat you up and bring you here. You really need to be taught a lesson. Now, I feel bored talking about your little kid story anymore.

Now tell me about Mason.

I don't have much time."

The rhythm of the conversation was inadvertently completely controlled by Jack.

Faced with his strong request, Ergong, who was scolded, hesitated for a moment and then told Captain Jack everything he knew about Mason.

The captain became more and more frightened as he listened.

In the end, he confirmed that he might not be able to play the guy who claimed to be only 17 years old, but acted as sophisticated and thoughtful as an old silver coin.

He felt he had to prepare now for what was about to happen.

Half an hour later, the drunken Jack and Er Tong returned to the bamboo house on the beach, arm in arm, talking nonsense and having a good relationship like two brothers.

Barbara was stunned when she saw this scene.

She couldn't help but begin to wonder if Captain Jack Sparrow had some kind of "super charismatic" super power. She had never seen Jason be so close to a stranger.

After handing the drunken Jason to Barbara and stuffing another bottle of wine into his hand, Captain Jack staggered into Mason's temporary alchemy room.

The moment he opened the door, all his drunkenness disappeared, replaced by a sobriety that a great pirate should have.

He looked at Mason who was brewing some kind of potion in front of him and said:

"I became friends with Jason Todd, and I let that kid talk to me. Of course, he might be pretending. After all, he was a very smart kid who kept telling me things.

But I still think I passed the test, right? Captain."

"Captain? This is an interesting title."

Mason did not look back and continued to work on the potion that was about to be cooked in front of him. While stirring the liquid in the crucible, he said to Jack Sparrow:

"But your performance really surprised me. Even Charles, who has been monitoring you all, praised your great talking skills. Congratulations, Sparrow, you are now an intelligence officer of Team K.

After we complete this transaction, you can leave with us. In another world, we have prepared a very luxurious hotel for you.

Well, you can think of it as a tavern.

You will be the person in charge there and work with Angelina to gather information for us.

You will also join the pioneering mission when necessary, but you are positioned as logistics personnel, so you don't have to worry about your life being in danger until we are all dead.

Drink the bottle of medicine on the table, it will restore you to your healthiest state, and then go find Charles to order team uniforms for you and Angelina.

Welcome to Team K, Jack.

I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future.”
