Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Calypsos Island

The witch naturally felt good about it, but still frowned and said, "But this situation has never happened before, the Pirate Lord's token has always been passed on voluntarily, I'm afraid it will be a bit of a hassle..."

"With the sword in my hand, they will agree!"

Li Xiu waved his hand, shutting the witch's other words back in her mouth.

At this time, Gibbs suddenly exclaimed, "Quick, look, there's a big ship coming over there!"

Jack and Barbossa both took out their telescopes to look.

"It's the Endeavour, Beckett has come!"

"It seems that Sao Feng is a good captain who sails with the wind, he has already sold us to Beckett, I don't know what price he sold us for."

"Hmph, no matter what price he got, he won't be able to enjoy it now!"

Barbossa sneered, disdainfully.

"My sailors, take your positions, a fierce battle is about to begin!"

Although Beckett did not bring the Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, the HMS Endeavour's fierce gunfire was something that neither this ship nor the Black Pearl could withstand. The outcome of this battle was uncertain.

"It's not necessary to be so troublesome, if we fire a few shots from this ship, Beckett will retreat."

Li Xiu suddenly said, this statement left everyone confused, only Jack's expression cleared up.

"He's right, Gibbs, take some men and fire a couple shots at the Endeavour! Be quick!"

If anyone among this group knew Beckett the most, had dealt with Beckett the most, it was undoubtedly Jack.

When Jack Sparrow had just taken over the identity of the Pirate Lord and the Black Pearl from his father, he was a poor leader and had little experience as a pirate, often with little success.

So he teamed up with the East India Trading Company and worked for Beckett, becoming a captain of a royal-authorized privateer, mainly transporting slaves for the East India Trading Company.

He had a lot of money, but unfortunately, Jack didn't like that kind of life. One day, he couldn't help but take pity and let a group of slaves go, Beckett became furious and revoked his privateering permit, sank the Black Pearl, and branded Jack's wrist with a "p" symbolizing pirate, and threw him into prison.

If it wasn't for Jack's later deal with Davy Jones, in which he traded the service of the Flying Dutchman, a ship that he had served for a hundred years, for Davy Jones' aid, there would be no Captain Jack Sparrow on the Seven Seas.

Jack knew Beckett's character very well, he was extremely arrogant and had an insatiable desire for control.

Any situation that deviated from his plans would make him angry and he never did anything without absolute certainty.

Beckett's partnership with Sao Feng was meant to be easy, as the spy that Sao Feng planted would easily betray Jack and his crew. Beckett was so confident that everything would be under his control that he didn't even bring the Flying Dutchman or Davy Jones.

If Beckett suddenly saw Sao Feng's ship attacking him, and the situation suddenly changed out of his control, he would have no choice but to retreat.

"Boom! Boom!"

"The Endeavour is turning, Beckett really retreated!"

After a few consecutive loud cannon sounds, although the HMS Endeavour was still out of range, it was clear that it had detected hostility, and Beckett really retreated as Li Xiu had said. Jack turned his head and looked at Li Xiu, guessing to himself.

It seems that he had also dealt with Beckett a lot, how did he know so much about Beckett? But why have I never heard of such a figure on the sea?

Everyone on the ship also couldn't help but turn their eyes to Li Xiu, feeling that he was very accurate in his predictions.

But just as they relaxed, Gibbs shouted again:

"Dammit! How come the Endeavour just left, and there's another big ship coming from over there! What's going on today!"

Li Xiu had a suspicion in his heart, but still turned to look and confirm. His vision, which was far beyond that of an ordinary person, allowed him to clearly see the appearance of the incoming ship.

Barbossa put down the telescope and looked at Li Xiu, because it was his Queen Anne's Revenge, which should have been attracted by the loud cannon fire nearby.

A few cannon shots to drive away Beckett and also call his own ship. This person is not to be underestimated.

Li Xiu turned to the witch and said: "I have to go find the Fountain of Youth, I'll be back before the Brethren Court officially convenes."

The witch felt uneasy, but she could also imagine how much he desired and longed for immortality after promising him the position of the King of Seven Seas.

Li Xiu was the biggest help in her breaking the seal, and the witch instinctively did not want him to leave, but she also believed that no one in this world would be foolish enough to reject giving up immortality.

She was sure he would come back, and there was nothing in the sea that could stop him from returning. And seeing the almost obsessive determination in his eyes, if she did not agree, it would not be good if he caused any problems. So the witch did not say anything and tacitly agreed.

Li Xiu nodded to Barbossa and others, then jumped into the sea, in the shocked gaze of everyone, he went to sea!

After a dozen jumps, Li Xiu crossed hundreds of meters to the Queen Anne's Revenge, on the deck, Bernard was waiting respectfully with his crew.

Li Xiu glanced at the door of the captain's room, and there was no signs of forced entry, he thought to himself, this Bernard is quite smart.

Blackbeard did not trust anyone, and Beckett wanted to control everything. Li Xiu was not as extreme and absolute as them, but he also had elements of both of those traits.

In front of the waterfall abyss, Li Xiu threw Bernard onto the Queen Anne's Revenge. It was not only a gesture of helping him but also a way of reminding him that he could have left at any time to avoid danger, but the reason he did not was because he knew that he would return safely.

Even if Bernard really had a big heart and dared to hold onto the control of the Queen Anne's Revenge and escape to the horizon, the idea of betrayal would never cross his mind.

When Bernard forced open the door to the captain's room and went inside, he would be horrified to find that he could not find their voodoo dolls at all! At that time, no matter how scared they were of Li Xiu's cruel punishment, they would have to wait patiently for Li Xiu to return!

As for the voodoo dolls, Li Xiu buried them somewhere on the witch's island as a precaution, but now it seems that they may not be needed, as Bernard and his men did not do anything foolish.

"Captain, where are we going now, please give us a direction."

Bernard asked respectfully, sitting on the big chair they brought to the deck.

Li Xiu nodded, took a black lacquer compass out of his pocket, it was delicate and beautiful.

This compass, called the Compass of Desire , does not point north or south, east or west, but points to the thoughts of the person who holds it!

No matter if it's treasure, people, objects, places, etc, as long as Li Xiu wants to get or go to it, it can accurately indicate the direction!

Of course, if the compass holder is unable to specifically express their thoughts, or if they want too many things, or if they are unable to concentrate on what they want the most, the compass will malfunction.

However, at this moment, Li Xiu's mind is clear and he knows exactly what he wants, so he won't have any malfunctioning situation.

Li Xiu looked at the dark golden compass face, and suddenly reached out and pointed in a certain direction!

"Set sail!"

The only thought in his mind is to go to Calypsos Island and obtain the Extremely Cold Wailing Liquid!

He wants to kill Calypso and seize the god position!
