Soon a week passed quietly and Jack returned to the ship from the sea.
The Heart of the Ocean allows Jack to control the flow of water in the ocean, and his speed in the water is far greater than Jack's speed on land.
In addition, Jack discovered that Poseidon's growth rate was quite fast, growing about one centimeter every day.
In a week, Poseidon's body length had reached about 57 cm.
Jack's handsome face almost wrinkled when he opened the cryptic nautical chart left by his old father.
I can only say that I can understand it, but not completely.
Previously, Dad's pirate group had two ships, one controlled by Jack and Dad, and the other controlled by Dad's deputy.
So my predecessor knew some navigation techniques, but could not fully understand the nautical charts hand-drawn by his father, so he had to find a professional navigator.
"It seems that the only thing I can do is to steal a navigator." Jack closed the nautical chart helplessly.
As a pirate, it can be said that all his wealth was obtained through robbery. This is also the pirate's way of life. Taking by force is better than hard work.
After he has enough money, Jack will first go to Astapor to buy some ship slaves and Unsullied as crew members.
You also need to buy some skilled slaves in Meereen who can repair ships, and visit the bed slave market in Yunkai.
Just as Jack was thinking about his next move, a merchant ship that was estimated to be more than 20 meters long appeared in front of him.
Jack instantly perked up and looked at the merchant ship in the distance.
Although it was far away, Jack could still see the flag of the Sons of the Harpy fluttering in the wind.
It turned out to be a merchant ship from Slaver's Bay!
I just don't know which city-state in Slaver's Bay it belongs to. It is very likely that there are slaves or spices on it.
Jack carried Tsunami, the greatsword given by the system.
Then he jumped directly into the sea and rushed towards the merchant ship.
If Jack had relied on himself to drive the Sea Dog, he might never be able to catch up with the merchant ship in front.
With the blessing of the Heart of the Ocean, Jack moved very fast in the water, as if the surrounding water was pushing Jack forward.
Soon Jack came under the merchant ship and climbed onto it using the spike.
When Jack climbed onto the merchant ship, everyone was stunned, looking at the confused young man.
How did this person climb up?
The captain of the merchant ship was named Oginga Yuri, a merchant who traveled between Slaver's Bay and Qarth.
This time he tricked a farmer in Qarth into buying a dragon egg fossil at a low price.
Hearing that the Governor of Pentos was buying dragon eggs at a high price, he decided to try his luck and see if he could get a good price.
Jack drew the Tsunami Great Sword from his back and said skillfully: "Robbery, this ship and the cargo on it are mine now."
Oginga Youli looked at Jack like a fool. It was the first time he saw someone robbing alone.
Merchant ships like theirs, which are over 20 meters long, basically have no professional guards. When facing pirates, the slaves take up weapons and fight back, but it is not something a teenager can rob.
What's more, this young man has delicate skin and tender flesh, and obviously looks more like a nobleman than a pirate who has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years!
Jack inherited the memory of his predecessor, so he naturally knew that merchant ships were usually guarded by slaves.
It was for this reason that he dared to come alone to hijack the ship. His previous incarnation had often participated in battles and he knew some combat skills.
To sum up, Jack thinks that I have the advantage and can attack.
After all, there is still a big gap between slave soldiers and professional guards or mercenaries.
Oginga clapped his hands, and soon, amid the mocking gazes of everyone, Jack saw seven fully armed mercenaries walking out of the cabin.
All seven of them were wearing leather armor and holding scimitars.
Jack raised his eyebrows, thinking that something was wrong.
Hiring these seven fully armed mercenaries is not cheap. This trip will cost at least hundreds of gold coins.
(1 gold dragon is equal to 30 silver moons, 210 silver deer, 1470 bronze stars, 2940 bronze wheat, 5880 half-bronze wheat, 11760 bronze cents, 23520 copper plates. The system is 30, 7, 7, 2, 2, 2, 2. It's too troublesome to calculate the currency in Game of Thrones. It's a mess. To keep it simple, 1 gold coin (dragon) = 100 silver coins = 10,000 bronze coins)
"Boy, you look quite young. Where is your noble family from?" Oginga asked.
If he was not a noble, he would capture Jack alive and get a large ransom.
And if Jack was the son of some noble family, he would kill Jack without hesitation to eliminate future troubles.
This group of petty nobles, especially the descendants of great nobles, will let their subordinates get rid of them if they are unhappy.
"I am not a noble, but a pure-blooded pirate."
"Haha, I hope you can still be so tough later." Oginga said with a smile. He had plenty of ways to torture people.
Moreover, these noble descendants are all soft persimmons, and they will become weaklings once they are intimidated.
"I'm not just tough, I have something even tougher. Do you want to let your mother have a taste?"
Oginga's face darkened, and he immediately thought that Jack could not be a nobleman, because nobles would not be so rude and vulgar.
What's more, he hates people talking about his mother the most, because his mother earned his first pot of gold by taking on clients.
"Capture him alive and I will torture him to death!" Oginga's tone was filled with anger.
As soon as he finished speaking, before the seven mercenaries took any action, Jack turned over and jumped into the sea, leaving everyone confused.
Are you kidding? Jack can't handle seven mercenaries wearing leather armor and holding scimitars with his current strength.
The military power in the world of Game of Thrones is very low. There is no situation where one person can fight dozens of people. Anyone who can fight ten people at once is definitely a top-tier strongman.
And although Jack is very powerful now, he does not have powerful swordsmanship and armor.
When a person is killed, he dies.
Facing a group fight with multiple people, Jack, without armor, would be ambushed and killed if he wasn't careful.
So Jack chose a more sensible way. On the seabed, Jack came under the merchant ship. At this time, in the dark seabed, a fat Godzilla came to Jack.
After receiving Jack's order, Poseidon's dorsal fin emitted a blue light, and he pierced the merchant ship with an atomic breath.
Jack began to destroy the hull along the damaged areas. The tsunami cut through iron like mud, and the bottom of the ship was like paper.
At this time, before Oginga on the ship understood what was happening, a hole appeared inexplicably on his merchant ship.
Oginga immediately asked the crew to go into the cabin to check for leaks.
"Damn you little bastard!"
Oginga knew without hesitation that this was the work of the little beast just now. He didn't know how he had destroyed the hull.
However, all Oginga did was just a last-ditch struggle, and the hull was destroyed much faster than Oginga expected.
Oginga was filled with shock and anger at this moment. He hurried into the cabin and found a small wooden box among many boxes.
Picking up the small wooden box, Oginga ran towards the spare raft on the ship. At this time, the sinking of the Purple Grape was already a foregone conclusion.
But as long as the dragon egg can be preserved, if he can survive and sell it to the governor of Pentos, he can not only make back his investment but also expand his fleet.
But before Oginga could get close to the raft, a sharp spear pierced his heart.
Oginga turned his head with difficulty and saw that the person who assassinated him was the mercenary he had hired at a huge price!
Although mercenaries value reputation the most, now is not the time to talk about honesty. For a small mercenary group like theirs, survival is the most important thing.
