The track of dawn in the world of American manga
13. Hope is very expensive, how much you can get depends on sincerity
Early the next morning, Mason waited on the dock for the return of the Queen Anne's Revenge.
The kite man, who had circled in the air for several times, controlled his big kite and glided down lightly and accurately, landing next to Mason like a gray vulture.
He stretched out his hand and clicked on the golden button on his chest, and the big kite behind him was recovered into the flight backpack amidst the mechanical sound. As Charles approached, some parts of the special aviation alloy suit on his body also emitted sounds.
A slight crashing sound.
This suit is the most special.
Its outer layer is made of metal and its inner lining is made of Hagrid's moleskin coat, which not only ensures complete bulletproofing but also enhances comfort, enough to ensure that the kite rider will not feel any discomfort at an altitude of thousands of meters.
cold.
Because it is made of metal, it looks angular, very heavy and full of pressure, but in fact the special alloy ensures defense and makes it not as heavy as it looks.
"Boss, this new suit is really great!"
Charles whistled, unfolded his V-shaped visor, and said to Mason:
"It is indeed Batman's exclusive blueprint, and it is much better than the suit produced by my small workshop. Also, boss, this is the conversation record between Selina and Constantine in the past four days.
I secretly wrote it down.
John has been wooing Selena, but Selena trusts you very much and she seems to really treat you as her little brother."
Charles handed over a small black notebook.
But Mason didn't take it, but frowned and said:
"I didn't ask you to do this, Charles, it's not good."
"But John obviously has his own ideas."
The kite man said seriously:
"He is not Catwoman. Selina has been protecting you. Perhaps because you have saved her and Batman, Selina does not think you are a threat.
She herself also enjoys this kind of journey in another world.
Catwoman and I had a lot of fun on the way to Port-au-Prince, and even caught a zombie octopus with our own hands... But Constantine, he kept complaining.
It's as if complaining and hating everything he sees is his life habit.
If this was in the Clown Gang..."
"That's the problem, Team K is not a gang of clowns."
Mason shook his head and said:
"I trust my team members just like I trust you, Charles, you don't have to do this in the future. Speaking of which, didn't Zha Kang cause any trouble?"
The kite man curled his lips and replied:
"He didn't do anything inappropriate in the four days you left. Apart from studying the gold coin and Blackbeard's voodoo encyclopedia, he had been living in the tavern on Turtle Island. In just four days, he hooked up with several destitute people.
Lady.
From the age of 17 to 37, she was almost beaten to death by her drunk and jealous husband.
If Catwoman and I hadn't just returned from sailing that night, I'm afraid his trip to another world would have ended because of his affair.
But what should I say, boss.
I think John is actually not as resistant to our expedition as he appears. I think his resistance to Team K is more due to the curse on us and his suspicion of the Society of the Stars."
"You summed it up very well, I understand."
Mason nodded.
The two chatted on the pier for a few more minutes. The Queen Anne's Revenge on the sea was getting closer and closer. The legendary pirate ship that was extremely oppressive was followed by a shabby-looking black ship.
"It's the Black Pearl... Barbossa has him!"
A voice sounded from behind Mason, and the female pirate Angelina, who had been "trained" by Ms. Selina for several days, also appeared at the dock.
Different from her previous pirate outfit, this time she was wearing a long skirt, her hair spread over her shoulders, and her South American-style cheeks had a charming smile that looked very much like Catwoman's.
The original feeling of wildness was suddenly weakened a lot.
Instead, there is a kind of elegance, like a girl who is not familiar with the world.
"What exactly did Selena teach you?"
Mason looked up and down at this changed female pirate and said:
"What did you learn from her?"
"Ms. Selena has profound life wisdom. She made me understand that beauty is also a woman's weapon, and it is a more powerful weapon than battleships and artillery."
The female pirate brushed her hair.
Although the movements are still a bit unfamiliar, she does have a bit of a "Female Aquaman" feel to her.
"If possible, I would be willing to follow Ms. Selena for a long time. Of course, this will be after I deal with some of my personal grudges."
She looked at Mason, lowered her head respectfully and said:
"Ms. Catwoman told me about Team K. Captain, if my hometown encounters an apocalypse, I really hope to find a way out."
"But not everyone wants Team K, ma'am."
Mason looked at her, threw Jack Sparrow's voodoo doll to her, and said:
"By convincing Jack to leave with us willingly, you will have completed your 'entry assessment' and you can have a new life in another, relatively safer world."
"What do you need Jack to do for you?"
Angelina grabbed the voodoo doll in her hand and asked in surprise and a little worried.
Mason did not hide anything and said directly:
"Team K needs professional intelligence personnel, and Jack's extraordinary communication skills, his lethality against women, and his strange but always useful commanding ability are what we urgently need."
"He won't abandon his crew!"
female pirate said:
"Although that guy keeps saying that he is a ruthless pirate, there is no gentler guy than him on the sea. Can Team K accept so many people?"
"Although I call my organization a 'squad,' what I imagine exists is probably a very comprehensive army, and someone has to do everything.
And I like professional people doing professional things.”
The captain rubbed his chin and said:
"I am not shy about providing a job and a hope of escaping the apocalypse to those who have skills."
"Yes, my bar needs a lot of professional security personnel if it wants to stay open for a long time in the "simple folk customs" of Gotham City. Pirates who lick blood from the edge of a knife sound very suitable."
The kite man also put his hands on his hips and said as if he were a capitalist:
"You can't let me keep hiring people from the labor union. The agency fees are too expensive."
"With your promise I can give it a try."
The female pirate put her hands on her shoulders and made a gesture of "loyalty" to Mason on the sea. She said:
"But I have a request... I hope that Jack Sparrow can become my 'personal belonging'. Maybe your romantic but powerful magician can help me.
I can already confirm that Mr. Constantine is a much more powerful wizard than my father."
"I don't care about that. You can go find Zha Kang yourself."
Mason pouted and said:
"But remember, we call him 'Zha Kang' for a reason. Don't get yourself involved. Girl, this is a piece of advice I'm giving you."
After another ten minutes, Barbosa's ship finally anchored.
A small boat was dispatched to pick up the three Masons aboard. It was still the luxurious captain's cabin from last time, and it was still the greasy but imposing pirate Barbossa.
But this time there was no exaggerated music and luxurious meals in the captain's cabin.
Instead, there was a man who was tied up with a rope but still chattering, and a beautiful, young and bookish young girl in a blue dress.
He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, standing nervously next to Barbosa.
"Mr. Mason, I'm glad to see you arrived as promised."
Barbossa looked very tired after several days of running around.
After all, he is an old man who is no longer young, so he no longer makes excuses, but directly points to the tied man and says:
"I brought you the Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl you wanted! Where is the thing I want?"
"Hey, man, I don't know what Barbossa promised you, but listen to my advice and don't make a deal with this old fox!"
The tied up Jack Sparrow was in a state of embarrassment. He yelled to Mason:
"This is a liar! I have known him for more than twenty years, but I only found out two days ago that this bitch actually has a beautiful daughter!
If I had known this, how could I have helped this little cutie?"
"Jack! Shut up!"
Angelina Teach, who was following Mason, scolded in a low voice, and Captain Jack's eyes also fell on this girl who looked very gentle and graceful.
He blinked and said:
"Uh? Do we know each other? Beautiful lady? Are you Mary from Jamaica? Or Judy from San Pedro?"
"hehe"
The female pirate sneered without getting angry but took out the voodoo doll that stunned Captain Jack. The latter immediately jumped to his feet and cursed:
"Angelina! I knew it! You are as terrible a person as your crazy father. I left you on an island and didn't wait until you were taken away by God?"
"Shut him up!"
Barbossa was extremely annoyed.
With a wave of his hand, two pirates came forward and sealed Captain Jack's mouth with a rope, but even though his mouth was sealed, the guy was still winking.
This guy's presence is incredibly strong, and it seems like he has a natural aura that attracts attention.
"Meow~"
Mason took out the shrunken voodoo birdcage from the multifunctional belt around his waist. When he saw clearly what was lying in the birdcage, everyone in the captain's cabin drew their weapons in an instant.
Barbossa even roared:
"Are you going to kill me with this damn corpse-eating monster? Mason, you probably should have done it last time! Thanks to the 'performance' of your wizard friend, I also found my own wizard
!
You can't hurt me on my boat!"
"Calm down, Barbossa, I don't need Miss McGonagall to take action if I want to kill you."
Mason glanced at the big pirate, then took out a blue crystal test tube and a special syringe from his belt. He put the test tube containing the zombie vaccine into it, lifted it up, and said to everyone:
"This is the medicine I brought! I call it 'Hope', and one injection will save you from the Black Death and ghouls for two months.
But I know you savage and realistic guys only believe what you see, so now I need a ‘warrior’ to volunteer to come forward and try the medicine.”
In the quiet captain's room, the female pirate Angelina stared at the blue potion in Mason's hand. The unique sense of technology of that thing made it seem out of place with all the surrounding decorations.
The female pirate didn't hesitate for long.
"I come!"
She glanced at Jack Sparrow, who was also silent, and took the initiative to stand up, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her tattooed arms.
"You are already Mason's daughter, Blackbeard's daughter, I can't trust you!"
Barbossa also stared at the powerful-looking drug in Mason's hand with a half-suspicious, half-longing look. He drank it back and planned to let Angelina give it a try to his men.
But before the old pirate could speak, the young girl in a blue dress next to him took a step forward.
It was obvious that she was scared but still mustered up the courage to say:
"Here I go! The teacher who taught me astronomy and natural history told me that there is no cure for the Black Death in this world. She said that it was not an ordinary disease at all, but something more terrifying.
As you can see, sir, I am a scholar.
Although I will be called a ‘witch’ by those ignorant people, I do believe in the power of science. If the medicine in your hand can save the world, then I am willing to be a guinea pig!”
"Serena! Come back!"
When he saw that the daughter he had finally found from that bastard Jack was taking the initiative to try the medicine, Barbossa, who had been so majestic all his life, couldn't sit still.
He used to be crazy, cunning and cruel because he was carefree, but now that he suddenly has a daughter, he seems to have turned back into a normal father.
He jumped up from the captain's chair on his wooden legs and pulled his daughter back.
But there is obviously a terrible gap between father and daughter.
Serena Smith pushed Barbossa away and stared at him with disgust, as if staring at something dirty.
"We have the best test subject, Mason!"
The old pirate pretended not to see his daughter's disgusted gaze. He sneered and protected his daughter, who hated him, behind him. He pointed at the tied up Jack Sparrow and said:
"Isn't it just for this moment that I left him alive? Don't waste time, hurry up! Let me see your promise, wizard. I hope you can understand the cost of deceiving a great pirate."
"You're going to apologize to me for your shameless slander soon, Barbossa."
Mason glanced at the old pirate and gestured to the Kite Man next to him, who was wearing a full suit and pulled down the black visor shaped into a V shape, looking majestic.
Charles immediately stepped forward and dragged the struggling Captain Jack over.
With everyone watching, Mason pressed Captain Jack's arm and gave him an injection.
After a few minutes of observation to confirm that there was no allergic reaction, Mason moved Miss McGonagall in the birdcage close to Jack who was struggling crazily and whining.
The sharp black cat claws, accompanied by a shrill scream, quickly cut a bloody mark on Jack's arm.
The old pirate Barbossa even crossed himself at this moment.
It seems that they are mourning the ending of "Old Friend".
Mason pulled out Hagrid's hunting knife and cut the rope around Captain Jack's body. When the guy was free, he started screaming and wailing and rolling around on the ground holding his scratched arm.
The female pirate Angelina rushed over and hugged him, and Jack also hugged his lover.
He was as miserable as a flashback, sobbing and saying:
"I'm sorry, Angelina, I know I hurt you deeply, but I left you on the island in the hope that you would no longer be affected by my cursed fate.
I really didn’t expect that Captain Jack Sparrow, who traveled the world, would end my life in such a way, but I am very lucky that you can accompany me in the last moments of my life..."
"Can you take your hands out of my clothes?"
The female pirate was a little touched at first.
But soon she discovered the truth. She stared at Captain Jack Sparrow, who was still trying to steal her voodoo doll without any sign of weakness in his arms, cursed angrily and punched him in the eye.
Barbossa and the others would have clenched their fists.
Jack is not infected!
He didn't turn into a ghoul!
Mason's medicine works!
Oh my god, gods and Buddhas! This damn world seems to be saved.
"Ah, my best friend Mason, I apologize for my stupid suspicion of you just now! If you need it, I will pay any price to get your forgiveness for this blind old immortal thing like me."
With a smile on his face, Barbossa kicked away Jack who was covering his eyes and yelling, and stepped forward to hold Mason's hands. The big pirate's eyes were filled with undisguised desire and joy at this time.
He said to the calm-faced Mason:
"Jack is yours, the Black Pearl is yours, take the box of devil's gold coins, and even my treasures can all be yours.
I have only one request.
Ten thousand!
I want 10,000 pieces of 'Hope'..."
"Be bold, my friend, I can give you fifty thousand! Or even one hundred thousand."
Mason snapped his fingers.
He smiled and said to Barbossa, whose eyes were getting brighter:
"Next, let's talk about specific cooperation plans."
