"Yes," replied the quartermaster. "There is a ghost woman on board with us, sir, and everyone feels it."
The crew began to complain, and one sailor spit cleanly, "I think it's a female ghost who became a widow before she got married, and came to find her husband who died at sea."
The cashier nodded: "We're going to throw the skirt overboard, I hope the ghost will follow, otherwise the ship will sink in fourteen days, remember my words!"
A sailor on the side of a paint boat listened carefully to the dispute.
"Enough!" ordered Captain Bellamy, taking up the skirt and examining it carefully.
"Gentlemen, it seems to me that we have nothing more than a stealer on board. From the looks of it, a young woman, go back to your posts. If there is a stealer and a woman, I don't think She's going to slip right under our noses, isn't she?"
In the life of pirates, women are generally not allowed on pirate ships, even captive women are not allowed to touch.
The superficial reason is that women bring storms and disasters.
The real reason is to avoid internal strife among pirates caused by robbing women.
A woman on a ship is not just a tool to vent her desires, but more importantly, she is a real person. Her eyes and words may cause violent turmoil in interpersonal relationships and affect the harmony of the entire fleet.
The crew thought about Captain Bellamy's words, and then dispersed, all looking for the woman who stole the passenger.
The sailor on the side of the paint boat turned to face the rest.
This person is not a sailor at all, she is Elizabeth who successfully disguised as a sailor.
She put down her paintbrush and joined in the hunt for the lady on board, hardly noticed by the rowdy fellows.
......
At this time, the distant jungle.
Will Turner wakes up to find himself chained and walking through a small village of huts.
The residents of the island watched the team curiously.
Finally, Will was lowered before a huge throne.
He looked up and smiled.
Sitting on his throne in his ornate ceremonial attire is none other than Captain Jack Sparrow!
"Jack Sparrow," Will said. "Honestly, it's good to see you."
Jack didn't respond, he stared blankly at Will as if he had never seen Will before.
The warriors pushed Will forward: "Jack, it's me, Will Turner, let them let me go."
Jack stepped down from his throne and twisted Will's arm.
He spoke a language Will had never heard, and the warriors nodded.
Suddenly, Will discovered that this throne was not an ordinary throne, it was made of human bones.
"Jack, listen." Will said desperately, "That compass! I just want that, now only you and Barbossa know where that man is, take me to see him!"
"Jack, Elizabeth is in danger now. We were arrested for helping you. She will be hanged!"
A samurai pointed to Will's thigh and touched his stomach, suggesting that Will would be a good meal.
Jack nodded, and the tribe cheered.
"No!" Will yelled as the warriors grabbed him, "Jack, what did you say to them?"
But Jack still didn't answer, he climbed back to his throne and looked into the distance.
When the warriors dragged Will past Jack, preparing to cook him a big meal, Jack's eyes rolled sharply, trying to get Will's attention.
"Help me!" Jack let out a desperate voice softly from the corner of his mouth.
The warriors dragged Will to the edge of a deep ravine, where there were two large cages made of bones suspended by thick ropes.
Will sees some of the Black Pearl's crew locked in cages.
Will was thrown into a cage before he could resist.
Captain Barbossa was among them!
"Hey, Will, we meet again." Barbossa smiled, as if he didn't care about the situation.
Will struggled to his feet, then fumbled in his pocket.
He handed Barbossa the bottle he found on the jungle floor, and Barbossa held it up.
Will then asked him about Jack's erratic behavior and tribal leadership.
"If Jack is the leader, why does he still treat you like this?" Will asked, looking at the imprisoned crew members around him.
Barbosa said: "These Pelegusto people let Jack be their leader, but Jack can only hold the position of leader if he behaves like a leader. That is to say, he can't do what they think a tribal leader should not do." Things to do."
"So he's a prisoner like us," Will said.
Barbossa frowned: "In fact, it is much worse. The Pelegustos believe that Jack is a god trapped in a mortal body. They plan to help Jack free from his mortal body."
Out of the corner of his eye, Will noticed Carton interrupted, gesticulating something being cut, and Will frowned.
"They're going to roast him, it's a deeply held religious belief."
Barbossa said thoughtfully, "Actually, we guess, maybe they're just starving."
Will could see that most of the pirates were in those two cages, but a lot of them were missing, so he asked, "Where are the others?"
Barbossa shook his head: "These two cages we're in weren't made after we came in."
Will looked at the two human bone cages, and quickly retracted his hands.
"As soon as the sun goes down, the feast will begin." Barbosa changed his tone, showing a hint of a smile.
"When the drums stop, Jack will die..."
......
In a small boat not far from the shore, two ragged pirates, Pantel and Rajti, were rowing with their backs toward the setting sun.
These two stuttering creatures are the remnants of Jack and Barbossa.
Rajetti, tall and thin, had a book on his knees.
"...I said, it is God's will that we can escape from the prison."
