The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 49 Boarding the Pirate Ship

Faced with Wes's aggressive attitude, Jack Sparrow's body trembled violently. It felt like he was being stared at by a beast lurking in the dark. A chill rushed from his spine to his forehead.

He instinctively pressed his hands tightly against his chest, where hidden was not only a compass, but also the key to his destiny.

[Damn, this wizard seems to know something about the compass.]

Jack Sparrow's mind was spinning like a windmill, trying to find a plan to get rid of Wes.

However, the reality is that the gap in strength between him and Weiss is like an insurmountable chasm.

"Captain Sparrow?" Weiss's voice sounded again.

Faced with Wes's urging, Jack Sparrow struggled fiercely in his heart and finally decided to give in temporarily.

He quickly put on a flattering smile, as if it was his most natural expression: "Of course, it is my honor to serve the wizard."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Weiss, but there was a glint of cunning in his eyes.

"A wise choice." Weiss's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. He knew that the pirate captain would not give in easily, but at least for now, he was willing to cooperate. "Follow me, both of you."

"Two?" Jack Sparrow had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he really didn't understand what Wes meant. "Besides me, who else?"

"Don't play dumb, Captain Sparrow." Wes's voice was steady and powerful. He flicked his index finger lightly, and two balls of light emitting mysterious light instantly penetrated into the bodies of Jack Sparrow and Angelica.

"What is this!!" Jack Sparrow panicked and kept slapping his body, as if it was crawling with disgusting bugs.

He wanted to shoot the mysterious ball of light away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find it.

Angelica's face turned pale instantly. She thought of those horrible witchcrafts, which were a kind of power that could control life and death and distort reality.

Her face gradually lost its color and became as white as a sheet of paper.

"Just some restrictions. You're a treacherous pirate. I don't believe you'll honestly lead me to the Fountain of Youth."

Weiss's words were calm and indifferent, without a trace of emotion in his words.

"It's so sad, we are partners now..." Jack Sparrow's acting is very good, with a hurt expression on his face, as if he really is a poor man who has been misunderstood.

But Wes was unmoved. He knew that if there was even a slight chance, Jack Sparrow would slip away like a cunning fox.

"You can try to betray me, but you will suffer the consequences." After saying this, Wes ignored Jack Sparrow and walked out of the tavern.

Jack Sparrow's mouth twitched. He pulled Angelica, who had not yet reacted, and quickly caught up with Wes.

Because of the riot caused by Jack Sparrow, the streets were filled with soldiers.

The soldiers checked the identities of everyone on the street and shot anyone who resisted.

Wanted posters for Jack Sparrow also began to be posted on the streets.

Jack Sparrow was just worried about whether he would be caught walking so brazenly on the street.

But after a while, he found that both passers-by and soldiers seemed not to see him.

He even circled around a soldier, but the soldier still ignored him.

【The power of magic? 】

Jack Sparrow's fear of Wes rose several levels. Angelica whispered to Jack Sparrow, "Even my father doesn't have such witchcraft."

【First, fulfill the agreement and find a chance to get rid of this wizard along the way.】

Jack Sparrow is not someone who will be manipulated by others. He is a free pirate and he will never allow himself to be controlled by others.

[But the most important thing now is to find out what kind of witchcraft I was under.]

Jack Sparrow swiftly leaped to Wes's side, trying to extract some clues from his cryptic smile. However, Wes's face remained as calm as a bottomless well.

The three of them came to a remote port where several ships were anchored. They looked a little dilapidated in the sun, and time and war had left indelible marks on their hulls.

These are pirate ships, these former maritime hegemons, now lying quietly here. The British government has always turned a blind eye to these pirates, because the treasures these pirates robbed will eventually flow into the London market, and it can also weaken Spain's naval power.

"Which ship is the best..." Weiss began.

"What?" Jack Sparrow didn't react for a moment until Wes's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Oh, the one in the middle, that ship has at least sixteen 16-pound guns, and look at her streamlined hull..."

Jack Sparrow was talking non-stop about the introduction, but he didn't notice that Wes had already boarded the pirate ship.

"Who is it?" The pirates who stayed on the pirate ship discovered Wes, the uninvited guest.

Pirates are usually not in a good mood. They drew their swords angrily and rushed towards Wes, as if they wanted to cut Wes into pieces.

But before these pirates could get close to Wes, they were blown away by an invisible force and fell into the sea.

The scene was like fallen leaves swept by a strong wind, helpless and desolate.

"Looks like we have a ship." Jack Sparrow was stunned, his mouth wide open, enough to fit an egg in. "Mr. Wizard has a natural talent for being a pirate."

Angelica feels that Wes is more dangerous than she expected.

By the time the two men boarded the pirate ship, Wes had already cleared out all the pirates on the ship and thrown them all into the sea.

"At least leave some people behind. We can't manage such a big ship with just the three of us."

Jack Sparrow began to inspect the condition of the ship, touching here and knocking there.

"Very good, just had it serviced."

He was pleased with the ship; although it was not as good as his Black Pearl, it was a good ship under the circumstances.

"That's good." Wes waved his hand, and the sail rose automatically. The huge sail fluttered in the wind, making a whistling sound.

The anchor also rolled up automatically, and the whole ship seemed to come alive and was ready to sail.

"Captain Sparrow..." Wes's voice woke Jack Sparrow from his thoughts.

"Any instructions?" Jack Sparrow came back to his senses.

"I'll leave the helm to you."

"Of course!" Jack Sparrow came to the helm and caressed it affectionately, as if he was caressing his beloved baby.

He gave the rudder a jerk, and the pirate ship sailed away from the harbor.

“How does it feel to be back at sea?”

"That's great!" Jack Sparrow closed his eyes in enjoyment, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

The sea breeze blew on his face, seagulls cried in the sky, everything was so familiar, this was exactly the life he longed for.

[It would be better without you.] Jack Sparrow thought silently in his heart.

"Then let's go, first to Whitecap Bay."

"Oh, don't be so anxious. Is this your first time going out to sea, Mr. Wizard?" Wes nodded.

"I just checked. There's nothing on this ship: fresh water, food, rum," Jack Sparrow counted on his fingers. "Anyway, my suggestion is to find a place to resupply and recruit some manpower. I don't think Mr. Wizard wants to clean up himself."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Weiss snapped his fingers and Jandi appeared in front of him.

"Oh my god!!" Angelica drew the sword from her waist and pointed it at Jandi, "What the hell is this??"

Jack Sparrow also stared at Jandi who suddenly appeared with wide eyes.

　We are still one person short of investing, thank you everyone!
