Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 39 Captain's Short Gun
If Jack didn't have the ignition stick in his hand and the fuse of the cannonball next to the ignition stick, the pirates would still be in the mood to greet Jack.

But now, all their eyes were fixed on the slightly glowing lighter in Jack's hand.

"You seem very rude!"

Jack said, moving the lighter towards the fuse.

"do not want!"

The pirates were immediately horrified and shouted.

"Hello……"

"Relax man, we mean no harm."

"Please, don't light it."

Jack was pleased with their reaction, "That's right."

The goblin captain pushed through the crowd and came to the front. He looked at Jack angrily, "Human, what do you want to do?"

Jack smiled and said, "I want to go on a long journey, and I want to requisition this ship and all the sailors on it."

"You are dreaming!" the goblin captain shouted angrily, "This is my ship, no one can take it away from me."

Nadlo walked over and slapped him in the face. "Larkin, look at the situation clearly. If you still care about this ship, you can only feed the fish in the sea."

Captain Larkin stared at Nedlo, but did not dare to fight back. His Fukin was being threatened by Jack, and he could endure any insult.

Jack: "It seems that the former captain is not cooperating, so let's lock him up."

He walked over with a heavy fist and lifted Lakin up. He squeezed through the crowd and came to the cargo hold on the bottom floor, threw him into the cargo hold and locked him up.

Although the pirates were unhappy with Heavy Punch's behavior, they could only watch obediently.

Jack asked, "Now, is there anyone who objects to my proposal?"

The pirates looked at each other, and no one stepped forward.

"Since no one objects, the ship now belongs to me. From now on, it will be named the Black Pearl."

Ned Luo glanced at him and asked, "How much do you like the name Black Pearl? The Fortune was changed to Black Pearl, and the Rich Gold should also be changed to Black Pearl?"

"Nedro, you will be the first mate. You will be in charge of planning the route and commanding the operations."

Nedro immediately straightened his back and said loudly: "Dear Captain Jack, I will definitely complete the task."

"Anu, you will be the boatswain. If anyone dares to disobey orders and disrupt our voyage plan, kill him!"

Chong Quan grinned and glared at the pirates, "What are you looking at? Get on the deck and get to work!"

The pirates had no choice but to return to the deck.

In this way, Jack and his men seized the command of the ship. Under the command of Nedro, the second generation Black Pearl turned around and sailed west.

Chongquan urged the pirates to clean up the deck and put away the remains of their celebration. While the pirates were cleaning up, he took some food and gave it to Rude to distribute to his own people. After eating and drinking, the goblin gunners took over the gun cabin. Rude took the other two trolls to count the property on the ship, and then made a list and gave it to Jack.

Jack made a rough calculation and found that the cargo on the ship was worth at least three hundred gold coins, not counting the private property of the former captain, Larkin.

After letting Rudd take over the weapons bay, Jack came to the captain's room and pried open the safe inside, which was full of gold coins, at least 500 or more.

Jack teased to Nadlo: "Captain Larkin is much richer than you."

Nadro spread his hands, "So what if you're rich? Didn't you still lose everything in the end? Jack, I know your rules. Now I'm yours too. How much are you going to give me?"

Jack said, "The cargo on the ship cannot be converted into cash yet, so the only things we can share are these gold coins. After we arrive in Kalimdor, we will need some money to hire sailors. How much do you think is appropriate?"

Nedlo thought for a moment and said, "At least two hundred gold coins."

Jack nodded, took out three hundred gold coins from the safe, counted out thirty, and pushed them to Nadlo, "You and Heavy Punch are the same, both 10%."

Although Nadro was envious of the remaining gold coins, he still happily put away the thirty gold coins.

Jack nodded in satisfaction. "I am not afraid of your love of money, but I need you to obtain wealth within the rules."

Nadro was stunned for a moment, then said, "Don't worry! Captain, I will definitely make money according to your rules."

Jack patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the cabin. He gave Heavy Fist thirty gold coins, Rude, the troll, and the goblin ten gold coins each, and then he gave each of the pirates one gold coin and told them.

As long as they work hard, they will be paid a gold coin when they reach their destination.

Although the pirates lived a life of robbery, it took several months to earn a gold coin. Jack gave them gold coins right away, which was really generous. They were used to being exploited by gold coin collectors, and they didn't believe that the gold coins were real until someone left teeth marks on the gold coins.

Use money to appease the pirates, and the next voyage will be much smoother.

But Jack still firmly controlled the armory and kept the strongest weapons to deter pirates. There were many weapon materials in the armory, including long swords, spears, bows and arrows, and some dwarven pistols, which the pirates said were seized from human merchant ships.

When he had nothing to do, Jack used the materials here to practice engineering. After he had a certain foundation, he began to modify the dwarf pistol.

Dwarven technology, like goblin engineering, is too crude. Although both are powerful, Jack also admires the refinement of dwarven engineering. Only by paying attention to both power and refinement can we achieve the highest level of engineering.

He remade the barrel, changing the trumpet barrel into a straight barrel with rifling inside. He also modified the firing device and sights, allowing the pistol to fire continuously, increasing the range and accuracy. Finally, he modified the buttstock and added a magazine.

He also modified the bullets, changing from front-loading lead bullets to pointed bullets, adding them to the magazine to allow for continuous firing.

There are three types of pointed bullets: ordinary bullets, the bullet tip is made of copper.

Tracer bullets are bullets that have flame essence applied to the bullet tip. When fired, the gunpowder ignites the flame essence, leaving a glowing trajectory in the air to indicate the direction of attack or to alert that the magazine is exhausted.

Explosive bombs, the warhead is filled with gunpowder mixed with flame essence. After hitting the target, the flame essence will ignite the gunpowder to cause an explosion effect, thereby increasing the lethality of the bullet.

After trying the gun, Jack was very satisfied with the new pistol, and Nadro also praised Jack.

"You are the most talented engineer I have ever met."

Jack smiled and put the pistol away. This new pistol would become his symbol as a captain, so Jack named it the Captain's Pistol.
