Chapter 106 - Evenly Matched
Chapter 106: Evenly Matched
In this Pirates of the Caribbean world, Davy Jones, the Devil of the Seas, was definitely the most notable representative of the supernatural powers of this world.
Unlike Ammand’s black witchcraft, which used voodoo dolls, Davy Jones could perform some truly destructive magic.
These water pressure knives were actually just jets of water ejected using high pressure, and they had a very powerful cutting ability. Roy flew in midair and dodged several water pressure knives shot by Davy Jones. He also responded by firing frozen air bombs at Davy Jones, but they were all blocked by the Kraken.
Roy saw that this was not a solution. Davy Jones seemed to treat the Kraken as his meat shield, and long-range attacks did not have much effect on him.
Thus, Roy looked for a gap, dived toward the Flying Dutchman, and landed on the deck of the ghost ship with a thud.
I don’t believe you’ll let the Kraken attack your ship!
With this thought in mind, Roy stretched out his hand, summoned Frostmourne, and slashed at Davy Jones.
There was a clang as Davy Jones pulled out his sword in an attempt to block Frostmourne. Unfortunately, the sword in his hand did not seem to be anything special. When it came into contact with Frostmourne, it broke into two. Frostmourne continued on, cutting into Davy Jones’s chest and splitting him in half.
However, Davy Jones did not die. He dropped his sword and placed his hand on Roy’s wrist.
With a splash, a huge water ball instantly appeared and enveloped Roy.
After Davy Jones trapped Roy with a Water Prison spell, he could not help but smile smugly. His body, which was split into two by Roy, began to close up slowly.
He wanted to appreciate Roy’s struggle in the water prison, but he found that Roy did not panic at all. The power of frost gushed out and instantly turned the water ball that was trapping him into a spherical chunk of ice. Then he struggled hard, and the ice immediately shattered into fragments.
“Damn it. I hate frost demons!” Dave Jones looked disgusted.
Had it been any other demon, it would have been extremely difficult to escape the Water Prison spell. But unfortunately, Roy was a frost demon…
After breaking free, Roy flashed and appeared behind Davy Jones. Frostmourne stabbed into his back!
“Ahhhh!” Davy Jones screamed before suddenly stopping. With a smile on his face, he reached out his crab-like hand and tried to break Roy’s sword.
Unfortunately, his strength did not seem to be enough to break the blade made of Abyss demon iron.
Roy kicked him away and withdrew his sword. After Davy Jones got up, the wound pierced on his chest healed again.
Seeing this, Roy felt a headache. He had injured Davy Jones twice, but he did not bleed at all. This way, the Bleeding attribute of Frostmourne would not work on him.
“It’s useless!” Davy Jones seemed to have guessed Roy’s thoughts. He pointed at the deck under his feet and said, “I am the captain of the Flying Dutchman. As long as I am on this ship, I am invincible!”
“Is that so?” Roy looked at his feet. The next second, an intense cold aura emanated from him and began to spread to the entire ship.
The Flying Dutchman started to freeze. Not only the ship, but even Davy Jones and his fish-man subordinates were freezing.
The hard black ice soon froze the Flying Dutchman into an ice prison, and the prisoners were the ice sculptures of Davy Jones and the others.
After the freezing was complete, under Roy’s control, the black ice quickly began to collapse inward. All the ice emitted cracking sounds as they were constantly compressing and breaking down!
Roy flapped his wings and flew off the deck. The Flying Dutchman started to distort and shrink unceasingly. This strange scene made the surviving pirates’ jaws drop.
With a loud bang, the black ice turned into crystal powder, and the Flying Dutchman disappeared!
Seeing this, Roy heaved a sigh of relief. Didn’t Davy Jones say that as long as the Flying Dutchman existed, he would not die? Therefore, Roy even destroyed the ship together.
However, just as Roy thought that he had successfully killed Davy Jones, a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea!
This huge whirlpool appeared where the Flying Dutchman had just been. As the whirlpool spun, a large ship slowly floated up from the bottom of the whirlpool.
Roy gasped. This large ship was undoubtedly the Flying Dutchman! It was reborn!
Davy Jones was still standing on the Flying Dutchman’s deck as he laughed at Roy. “Demon, you look surprised?”
“This is… the power of the sea goddess Calypso?” Roy probed.
The moment he heard the name Calypso, Davy Jones’s smile disappeared, but he still nodded and said, “That’s right. I admit that you’re very terrifying. This is the first time I’ve seen the Flying Dutchman being broken down, but it’s useless. This is a ship blessed by Calypso. Even if it shatters, it will quickly be reborn!”
Roy’s heart sank when he heard this. He realized that he had probably thought wrongly.
Even if Calypso was sealed by nine mortal Pirate Lords, it was likely that they had used underhanded means to complete the seal. If people felt that Calypso was very weak because of this, then it would be a huge mistake!
Roy did not know if Calypso was a real god, but whether she was or not, with the undying characteristic displayed by the Flying Dutchman, he could imagine how powerful she was.
Of course, Roy’s current opponent was Davy Jones, not the Flying Dutchman. The Flying Dutchman was a divine artifact created by Calypso, but the captain of the Flying Dutchman was not. The captain could be replaced, which meant that he could be killed!
The main point was Davy Jones’s heart! All of Davy Jones’s strength came from the Flying Dutchman, and this seemed to be something similar to a demon contract. To become the captain of the Flying Dutchman, he had to offer his heart to sign a contract with this ship.
But the tricky part was that after killing the Flying Dutchman captain, it was equivalent to taking over the other party’s duties and becoming the new Flying Dutchman captain.
After recalling these things, Roy finally realized that he could not kill Davy Jones unless he could find his heart. Even if he did find it, he could not kill Davy Jones because he did not want to become the new captain of this ghost ship…
After some thought, Roy decided to retreat. He now guessed that the person who used the voodoo doll to curse him was one of the Nine Pirate Lords, and Davy Jones had appeared here only to save the Pirate Lord.
Fighting with Davy Jones was meaningless. Roy could not kill him, but Davy Jones could not do anything to Roy either. Their battle was pointless, apart from wasting time and expending magic power.
So Roy put away Frostmourne, flew into the air, and said to Davy Jones, “All right, I’ll let it go this time. But I said before that I won’t stop if I can’t find those pirates, so you’d better advise the guy you saved. If you want to end this disaster, you’d better hand over those pirates as soon as possible!”
With that, Roy waved his hand at the sea and grabbed all the souls floating on it with Psychokinesis.
Unlike normal people, Davy Jones could see souls, so his face could not help but darken, but he did not say anything.
As Roy had said, Davy Jones was also helpless against Roy. After all, the battle just now was not only on the sea but also on the Flying Dutchman. It was Davy Jones’s home ground. Even so, the Flying Dutchman had collapsed once due to Roy, and it had to rely on the power left behind by Calypso to be reborn.
So even if Roy captured a large number of souls right under his nose, he could not get them back…
He could only hit the side of the ship and curse. “Damn demon!” Then he had his men control the ship and dive back into the water.
Roy snatched a pirate ship and used frost power to turn the ship into a new Frozen Ghost Ship before leaving with Fat Tiger and Cassandra.
Only Ammand and his surviving pirate subordinates were left floating in the sea, searching for life-saving items.
After Ammand boarded a lifeboat, he looked with lingering fear at the sea with floating corpses all around and muttered to himself, “Should I convene a meeting of the Pirate Lords?”
He felt that he needed to hear the opinions of the other Pirate Lords. Because even if he really wanted to hand over the murderers, he needed to borrow the strength of the other Pirate Lords to look for them. This was mainly because the information given by the demon was too vague. There were thousands of pirates on the sea, and there were many pirates without ears. As for killing a young girl… Allah above, there were even more of such pirates!
With only a Pirate Lord like him investigating, when would he be able to find them?
Therefore, it was impossible without the help of the other Pirate Lords…
