Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 225 Pirates Attack
"There's a ship that's going to sail. Her name is the Tea Billy."

"The wind is blowing and the bow of the ship is sinking and floating. Blow it, tyrant of the sea, blow it!"

"The Willeman will be here soon, bringing us sugar, tea, and rum."

"When our supplies run out one day, we will leave..."

A merchant ship from Stormwind is sailing towards Southshore. The sailors are singing cheerful songs and the ship is filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Not long ago, the queen was killed by lowly stonemasons, which made King Varian very angry. He wanted to punish those stonemasons, but mobilizing the army would require a lot of military expenses.

He didn't even have the money to build Stormwind City, so how could he use the money as military expenses? So, he gave this important task to Barkley.

Barclay was ecstatic and set off with a fleet of merchant ships to the continent of Lordaeron to earn military funds for the king.

According to the nautical chart, they were about to reach Nanhai Town.

At this moment, a fleet came from the west. The lookout immediately picked up the telescope and looked at the fleet's flag.

It was a flag with a black pearl in the ocean!!!
The lookout shouted in horror: "Black Pearl——"

Barkley stood up immediately and rushed to the side of the ship. He tried to look into the distance, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see anything clearly.

However, a few seconds later, Barclay was horrified to find that the speed of that fleet was extremely fast, at least twice as fast as his own.

Think about the rumors about the Black Pearl. It was a magic ship, so it had such a fast speed.

"Pirates are attacking—"

After confirming that it was his mortal enemy, Barkley immediately issued an order, "All crew members go to the engine room and move forward at full speed. We can only survive if we enter Nanhai Town before the Black Pearl catches up."

The sailors were also panicking. They had also heard of the Black Pearl. It was a legendary pirate ship, and their Baron Barclay had a great grudge against the legendary pirate Jack Sparrow. If the Black Pearl caught up with them, they would surely die.

Although they had dozens of ships, no one thought of fighting the Black Pearl. They remembered the rumor that the Black Pearl sank dozens of goblin warships in one battle.

Although they have dozens of ships, they are all merchant ships. There are only a few cannons on the ship, and they are not as good as the goblin warships in terms of firepower, armor, and speed. When facing the Black Pearl, they can only be slaughtered.

Under the threat of death, the sailors rowed desperately, and the speed of the fleet increased suddenly.

However, the distance between them and the Black Pearl did not increase, but was getting closer and closer.

Baron Barkley was sweating profusely, and he kept measuring the distance to Nanhai Town with the sea chart. After measuring it ten times in a row, he finally gave up struggling.

The fleet will be caught up by the Black Pearl five nautical miles away from Nanhai Town.

At this distance, they couldn't even ask for help from Nanhai Town.

Baron Barclay thought about it and made a decision. He stood up and said to the messenger, "Notify other merchant ships to continue to Nanhai Town. After completing the transaction, find a way to return to Stormwind City. The king's order must be completed, even if it means losing our lives."

Then he turned the rudder and the ship broke away from the caravan. He decided to use himself as bait to save the rest of the merchant ships.

He didn't want to make this decision, but his family was still in Stormwind. If he ran away, Varian would never let his family go. Moreover, with Jack's hatred for him, he couldn't run away at all.

However, if he saved the fleet, even if he died, Varian would definitely let his son inherit the title and treat his family well.

The sailors saw what Baron Barkley was thinking and became scared. After all, this was a suicide mission, and not many people could face death calmly.

Buckley gathered all the sailors together and said, "When the Black Pearl approaches, you will raise the white flag and hand me over to Jack Sparrow. From what I know about Jack, he will not make things difficult for you."

When the sailors heard this, they looked at each other in confusion.

However, they had no time to think. The Black Pearl was already nearby, moving sideways, and trying to launch an attack. So the sailors tied up Baron Barclay and raised the white flag.

They shouted to the Black Pearl, "Captain Jack, we surrender, don't fire!"

On the Black Pearl, everyone had strange expressions. They just wanted to go to Nanhai Town, send the mercenaries back, and sell the treasure from the sunken ship.

But what they didn't expect was that the Black Pearl's reputation would scare the merchant ship on the opposite side into raising the white flag.

Everyone laughed triumphantly and touched the golden badges on their bodies, feeling a sense of honor.

What is a legendary pirate? This is a legendary pirate.

Veresa also looked at this scene with amusement and asked Jack, "Aren't you going to explain it?"

Jack put down the telescope, and raised the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry, there is an 'old friend' on the opposite ship."

Jack slowed down the boat and slowly moved closer.

The merchant ship's sailors were nervous, but if the Black Pearl didn't fire its cannon, there shouldn't be a massacre, right?

When the two ships approached, the sailors immediately shouted flatteringly: "Captain Jack, we surrender, we have captured Buckley."

"Barkley?"

Everyone followed the sailors' arms and looked curiously at the man tied to the mast. Who was this Barkley?

Only Rude laughed out loud, "Hahahaha——"

"Barkley, I didn't expect you would have this day."

Buckley looked at Rude with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect you were still alive. The last time I saw Jack, I thought you were dead!"

"I can't die even if you die!"

Rude said this, trying to jump onto the merchant ship.

But Jack stopped him, "Rude, just watch the fun, we are running out of time."

Rude was a little unwilling, but still stopped.

Jack looked at Barkley with a playful look, made a throat-slitting gesture to him, then accelerated sharply, and the Black Pearl sailed away.

The waves raised by the magic ship made the merchant ship shake constantly. The sailors were unstable and some fell on the deck, and some fell into the sea.

After the Black Pearl sailed away, the sailors let go of Barkley in shock.

"Your Excellency, are you okay?"

Barclay ignored the sailor and looked at the Black Pearl in confusion. He didn't understand why Jack let him go. Was he going to catch up with the fleet?

Thinking of this, Barkley immediately shouted: "Quick, full speed ahead!"

A few minutes later, Barclay saw the Black Pearl overtake the fleet and head straight for South Sea Town.

Buckley was even more confused. Did Jack want to attack Nanhai Town?
When he got closer to Nanhai Town, he discovered that the Black Pearl was docked at the port and was moving things down box by box.

Buckley was completely confused. Wasn't Jack a wanted criminal? Why didn't Nanhai Town attack him?
