The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

No matter how skilled or fast Barbosa was at escaping, how could he outrun lightning?

In an instant, he was entangled by the thunderous whip.

Barbosa was in tears!

It wasn't because he had been caught and might face death, but because he felt wronged!

From the very first moment we met, it was you, you little brat, who started showing off in front of me, okay?

You suddenly appeared and saved the woman I almost killed, flicked your sword with two fingers, and showed off your skills to me. Now that I'm trying to escape, you can use this kind of supernatural ability to catch me.

You actually said that I showed off in front of you and ran away?

Is there no justice left in this world?

Barbossa was entangled by the lightning whip and dragged back. During this process, Barbossa did try to break free from the lightning whip, but every time he moved, the power transmitted by the lightning caused him a pain that went deep into his bones.

His physical body is immortal and cannot feel pain, but his soul seems to be different!

"Damn it!"

Barbosa cursed inwardly:

"This guy really is the wizard who unleashed the lightning before. And his lightning has a great restraining effect on our immortal bodies. Even just being bound makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Those who provoked him before have probably been reduced to ashes by his lightning."

Bai Ye waved his finger, and Barbossa was dragged back to him and Angelica. He asked:

"What should we do with this guy?"

Angelica looked at Barbosa and said:

“Since he is unwilling to surrender to us, and we have no use for him, and he is so ugly, keeping him around is just an eyesore, let’s just kill him.”

"Wait! Wait!"

Barbosa shouted immediately:

"I surrender, I'm willing to surrender, and I'm a very useful person!"

"The Black Pearl is the fastest ship in the Caribbean, and I have been its captain for many years. It is safe to say that no one in the entire Caribbean knows this ship better than me. If you are willing to spare my life, the Black Pearl will be yours from now on. I will then sail the Black Pearl for you without any worries. What do you say?"

These pirates in the Caribbean are arguably the most unscrupulous creatures in the world. They may have declared they would never surrender, but when faced with a choice between dignity and death, they will not hesitate to abandon their dignity in exchange for a chance to live.

These people are well aware that while you're alive, there's always a chance, but once you're dead, it's all over.

Barbossa looked at Bai Ye and Angelica with meek eyes and said cautiously:

"As for my ugly appearance... I can cover my face in the future and try my best not to let my ugly face get in the way of your eyes, sirs."

Bai Ye looked at Angelica:

What do you think?

Whether or not Captain Barbossa is killed is of no concern to Bai Ye.

Angelica glanced at Barbossa, who was bound to the ground and looking at her obsequiously, then at the Black Pearl, which appeared ancient and mysterious in the darkness. After a moment's thought, she said:

"The Black Pearl is indeed one of the best ships in the world. If we could acquire it, we would undoubtedly be able to travel freely in most parts of the ocean."

"And we only have two people now, which is not enough to operate such a large ship as the Black Pearl, so it is necessary to leave some sailors or something to help with the operation."

"So... what do you think, Bai Ye?"

Angelica then passed the question back to White Night.

"Alright, let's keep this old guy around for now and have him help us pilot the Black Pearl."

Bai Ye thought for a moment and nodded.

Next, he planned to search for the Fountain of Youth and the Trident of Poseidon, among other things. A good ship was essential, and the Black Pearl would be just the right choice.

Leaving Barbossa, that cunning old fox, behind will allow us to get the Black Pearl up and running as quickly as possible.

And it has to be said that when Bai Ye looked into Angelica's shining eyes, he knew that this Caribbean female pirate's ambitions had also been drawn to the Black Pearl, which was so close at hand.

What pirate on the high seas wouldn't want to own the best ship, sail on the vast ocean, and make a name for himself?

Angelica had always lived in the shadow of her father, Blackbeard. Now that she owns the Black Pearl, who knows, she might even be able to create a legend that surpasses Blackbeard's!

Then, on the high seas from now on, no one will say that Angelica is the daughter of the famous pirate Blackbeard, but that Blackbeard is her father!

Angelica, this Caribbean red rose, also has her own ambitions!

So of course Bai Ye would grant her wish!

Miss, you don't want your ambitions to remain unfulfilled, do you?

“Yes, I think this is good too,” Angelica said. “Bai Ye, didn’t you want to see the true face of this world? But…”

She glanced at Barbosa again:

"This old fellow isn't so easily subdued; what if he's still plotting a rebellion?"

"hehe!"

Bai Ye smiled faintly, looked at Barbossa, and said:

"Since I dared to accept him, I'm not afraid he'll betray me... I'm not some kind of innocent fool!"

Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared in Bai Ye's eyes.

next second.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky in an instant, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a python descended from the heavens, striking Barbosa squarely.

Barbosa screamed in agony:

"Aaaaaahh ...

###Chapter 186 Pirates must be eradicated at any time; they cannot be ignored!###

When the smoke cleared, Barbossa exhaled a plume of black smoke, and he looked much more energetic.

"If he dares to make any rash moves, we have plenty of ways to deal with him!"

Bai Ye smiled faintly.

"No, absolutely not!"

Barbossa quickly stepped forward, flashing a fawning smile:

"How dare I? From now on, I, Barbosa, will follow your lead."

Angelica said:

"Very well, Barbossa, tell your men to stop!"

"Yes!"

Upon seeing this, Barbossa quickly saluted, then ran to the merchant ship and ordered the skeleton pirates on the Black Pearl to stop.

On the Black Pearl, Barbossa held considerable prestige; at his command, all the skeleton pirates ceased their actions.

Meanwhile, the merchant ship guards and men who were fighting against Barbossa and his men also temporarily laid down their weapons, looking somewhat bewildered.

“Alright, brothers, the war is over.” Angelica stepped forward and shouted, “These pirates have surrendered. Please throw those tied-up skeletons onto the ship over there, and you are free to leave.”

The guards were used to Angelica's commands, and when they heard her say that, quite a few of them actually carried out the orders.

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

Suddenly, a fat man, as obese as a pig, appeared out of nowhere. He was none other than Anthony, the owner of the merchant ship.

Anthony stopped the guards who were releasing the Black Pearl crew, saying:

"This ship is mine, so I should be the one to give orders. No one dares to make a move before I give the word."

When the Black Pearl attacked, Anthony sensed the danger and had already retreated far away. Now that the situation has reversed, Anthony feels that his opportunity has come, and this is the perfect time for him to reap the rewards!

You should know that the Black Pearl is a notorious ghost ship on the high seas. Over the years, countless merchant ships have been brought down by the Black Pearl, so taking over the Black Pearl means a huge amount of wealth!

These days, merchants who dare to trade at sea are almost all people who value money over their lives.

Once he gets his hands on the Black Pearl's wealth, why bother being a businessman? He could just go back to England, donate a knighthood, buy up vast amounts of land, and live a comfortable life as a nobleman.

"The pirates on the Black Pearl have been ravaging the Caribbean for a long time. Now we can finally get rid of this scourge, which is of great benefit to normal ships sailing in the Caribbean."

Anthony coveted the wealth on the Black Pearl, but he couldn't say it directly. Instead, he had to use a righteous pretext to stabilize the situation first.

"Pirates must be eradicated at all times, there's no other way! Just imagine, you're out at sea with your wife, enjoying hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly you're robbed by pirates... So, days without pirates are the best days!"

“Sir, you seem to have misunderstood the situation.” Angelica looked at Anthony, chuckled, and said, “The Black Pearl wasn’t defeated by your merchant ship, but by me and Bai Ye. Now the Black Pearl is our spoils, not yours. Do you think you can bypass us and deal with the Black Pearl yourself? Well, let me tell you, you’ve miscalculated.”

“Madam, I know you played a significant role in confronting the Black Pearl, and I admire your courage and sacrifice. But that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want,” Anthony said hypocritically. “The Black Pearl is the common enemy of all free people in the Caribbean. You can’t protect it because of your own selfish desires! I think the Black Pearl should be put on a public trial, their crimes investigated one by one, to give everyone justice. Don’t you all agree?”

If Anthony can temporarily take control of the pirates and the ship on the Black Pearl, then everything will be much easier.

Rules are always just toys in the hands of the powerful.

He had too many opportunities to take the majority of the treasure on the Black Pearl, then leave the scraps for the rest of the crew and settle everything.

“That’s right!” The captain of the merchant ship’s escort also stepped forward and said, “I think Lord Anthony is right. Gentlemen, I am very grateful for your contribution in defeating the Black Pearl pirates, but how to deal with them is not your right.”

After stepping forward, Anthony secretly spoke with the captain of the merchant ship's guard, promising him a considerable sum of money to speak on his behalf.

The previous captain of the guard also worked under Angelica's command, and they got along fairly well. But compared to the generous sums of money, what did those little bit of incense offerings amount to?

Hearing what Anthony and the captain of the guard said, the attitude of the people on the merchant ship also wavered.

"Yes, it's true that these two stepped forward to command the battle, but judging from their expressions, they're clearly trying to protect the pirates on the Black Pearl!"

"But without them, we might have been killed by the pirates on the Black Pearl. Isn't it inappropriate for us to oppose them at this time?"

"Why is it inappropriate? Even if they hadn't stood up, we might not have lost to the pirates of the Black Pearl, after all, we have so many people! Besides, if these pirates on the Black Pearl aren't completely eliminated, they will eventually harm other innocent people. How can we, for our own selfish reasons, let others suffer such misfortune?"

It must be said that the mob is the easiest group to fool.

If Angelica had been the one who led them to victory in this war before Anthony emerged, probably no one would have dared to object.

However, Anthony stood up and said some seemingly righteous words, which immediately brainwashed some people.

These people quickly forgot the terror they felt when the Black Pearl pirates boarded the merchant ship, and how grateful they were to have survived after Angelica led the counterattack. Instead, they took a more objective stance and began to criticize Angelica's actions.

Humans are such creatures that they hold grudges but not gratitude.

Anthony turned his head and looked around. Seeing that most people still agreed with his point of view, that the Black Pearl should be put on public trial instead of letting Angelica take the Black Pearl away, he immediately nodded in satisfaction.

It seems his plan has succeeded; the treasures plundered by the Black Pearl over the years are now beckoning to him.
