"You?" Dufresne raised his eyebrows.

"I'm small, maybe I can squeeze in through the gap, so that I can fill the hole in the bottom of the boat without removing the wine cabinet." Harry volunteered.

Dufresne looked at the bald carpenter on the other side.

The latter looked at Harry's figure and nodded, "Theoretically, this is possible."

"Just let me try, Mr. Dufresne, or everyone will die here when the ship sinks." Harry begged.

"But the wound on your arm?"

"I broke it myself when I ran away because I was too scared. It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem." Harry moved his arm to show Dufresne while talking.

The latter finally stopped hesitating and said to Harry, "Quick, take off your shirt."

Harry heard that he took off his coat according to what the quartermaster said, and then Dufresne tore off a sleeve from his coat, wrapped the cork in it, and handed it back to Harry, "Use this thing to plug You can adjust the size by yourself, if it is not enough, you can wrap a few more layers of fabric."

"learn."

"Pay attention to safety. Didn't you always want to be a member of the Jackdaw? If you do this well, I will personally propose to the captain and recruit you as an official crew member."

Harry's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grinned, "Leave it to me."

After speaking, he took a deep breath and plunged into the water.

...

On the other side, although Jarvis had spent a lot of time in order to increase the distance between him and the Jackdaw, but now he has finally rowed to the front of the warship, and he can already see Walden and Chris standing on the deck. Yes, he hasn't met the former very much, but he has been in touch with the latter, knowing that Chris is a high-level navy.

He also passed the information on this operation to the latter on time. Jarvis put down his oars and waved to Chris, but Chris avoided his gaze.

Walden snorted coldly, "Are you feeling ashamed?"

"No, sir." Although his cheeks were hot, Chris still puffed up his chest.

"Communication with wild beasts is inherently intriguing. Thinking about the people who died at their hands, there is no need to have any psychological burden. Now, I want you to raise your head and look into the other person's eyes."

Although Chris was somewhat resistant to this order, he followed it.

Jarvis kept waving his hands, and finally attracted Chris' attention, but what he read from those familiar eyes was unprecedented indifference, and Jarvis felt a chill in his heart.

After all, he is also a well-known big pirate in the nearby waters, how could he not understand the meaning contained in that gaze, but at this point, he has already given everything, and there is no way out.

Betrayed the Black Prince Sam and others, he could not return to the pirates, and the crew of the Warrior on the shore were also killed and injured at this time, leaving him alone. Jarvis originally thought that he would be pardoned after doing all this After that, you can completely separate from the past, leave the old world, and embrace the new world.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that he had indeed left the old world, but the door to the new world seemed to be closed before his eyes, so he became a person with nowhere to go.

"Very well, let's get rid of him, and tell Earl Lambert that Captain Jarvis was accidentally killed by a stray bullet during the exchange of fire." Walden said lightly, "We will fulfill our agreement with him and let him return Civilized society, but after his death."

Jarvis saw the cannon on the deck turned towards him. In fact, he still has time to abandon the ship and escape. After all, the navy is still focusing on the Jackdaw and other pirate ships anchored in the bay. If he dives, There was a high probability that he could escape the shells, but Jarvis sat motionless on the boat.

He no longer knew where he could escape to. Even if he escaped the shells, how would he survive in the future

Following Chris's order, the gunner lit the match, and the first cannonball flew out of the ferry boat, so the gunner took some time to readjust the direction, but unfortunately the second cannon still missed the target. The splash of water when it fell into the water caused the boat to vibrate, but Jarvis on it remained unmoved like a petrified statue. For the third time, the gunner aimed for an extra long time, a full half a minute, and finally successfully shot Hitting the boat turned the latter into pieces.

After a while, Jarvis' body surfaced, but no one cared anymore.

Jarvis' death was just a minor episode in the great war.

Then five warships and armed ships from the navy and pirate hunters launched a fierce attack on the pirate ships anchored in the harbor. The Black Prince Sam and others dealt with the stubborn warriors on the beach as quickly as possible regardless of the cost of casualties. The crew of the ship rushed towards the pirate ship moored in the harbor.

They are currently seriously short of manpower, and the gunners who can fire can barely make up two ships, so after summing up, they decided to combine the people of several ships together, but just as they boarded the ferry boat, they rowed towards the nearest pirate ship. At that time, the shells of the navy and pirate hunters arrived there one step earlier than them.

The pirates watched helplessly as their pirate ships were submerged by gunfire. The first to sink was Brooke's Swordfish. The Swordfish had been severely damaged in the previous battle, and the carpenters on board only managed to repair a small part of it. , These are all recorded in detail in the information given by Jarvis, so the Swordfish has naturally become the first target of the navy.

Even though Brook was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but look livid after witnessing the sinking of the pirate ship he had been with day and night.

Immediately following in the footsteps of the Swordfish was the Tiger Shark. The firepower on the latter was second only to the Vader, and it was also one of the two pirate ships that Black Prince Sam and the others wanted to board with the ferry boat, but Before they got there, the Tiger Shark was set on fire, but its hull was stronger than the Swordfish, so it lasted much longer than the Swordfish, and it won a certain amount of support for the pirates. time.

The Black Prince Sam decided to abandon the Vader, which was too far away, and turned around with the people on the ferry boat to Jarvis's Warrior.

The crew on the Warrior had obviously considered the issue of how to evacuate after turning their faces. The Warrior was also the closest ship to the beach. Unfortunately, there was an accident later. They exposed it in advance, and they were suppressed by the firepower and had no chance to board the ship again. Now it is time to give Black Prince Sam and others a chance.

It is not a chance to escape, but a chance to fight back. The victory has already been settled, but now there are still a group of people who want to fight for dignity.
