Chapter 109 - The Creators True Intention (1/2)
When he calmed down and thought about it carefully, Roy realized that he had made a mistake.
He should not be another transaction partner of Jack Sparrow but the only one!
The real situation was that Jack Sparrow had already looked for Davy Jones once. He had looked for Davy Jones to get the Black Pearl that had sunk to the bottom of the sea! For this transaction, Jack Sparrow had made an agreement with Davy Jones. Both parties had agreed that after Jack Sparrow was the captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years, he would go to the Flying Dutchman to serve hard labor.
When he made the deal, Jack Sparrow probably did not think too much about it. But to his surprise, after the Black Pearl was salvaged, Jack Sparrow only became the captain for two years before Barbossa successfully betrayed him.
During the past few years, the captain of the Black Pearl had been Barbossa, and Barbossa had been plundering throughout the Caribbean Sea with the help of the Black Pearl’s speed. Jack Sparrow could not take this lying down, and he had been looking for opportunities to take back the Black Pearl.
Roy had thought that he was Jack Sparrow’s other trading partner, but that was not the case. As time passed, the time limit between Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones became less and less. If Jack Sparrow dared to find Davy Jones to help him recapture the ship, even if Davy Jones did help him a second time, he would probably capture him first to fulfill the promise!
Davy Jones could only go ashore once every ten years because he was in charge of the Flying Dutchman. If Jack Sparrow wanted to go back on his word and not fulfill the agreement, he should not go to Davy Jones at this time.
Since he could not find Davy Jones, he could only think of another way to regain his Black Pearl.
But if Roy’s guess was correct, Barbossa and the others were already suffering from the undying curse of the Aztec gold coins and had become neither human nor ghost. For a long period of time, Barbossa and the Black Pearl’s crew would rush back and forth to search for the Aztec gold coins scattered all over the place in order to lift the curse.
Roy felt that Jack Sparrow must have already known about the situation of Barbossa and the others. Faced with these cursed traitors, Jack Sparrow probably could not think of any good ideas, so he came to find Roy after hearing the news of Roy being a demon.
If Roy did not help him, Jack Sparrow could only continue to wander around. It would probably take quite some time until he found Elizabeth, who had an Aztec gold coin, at Port Royal before he could retaliate against Barbossa…
After figuring this out, Roy immediately understood that Jack Sparrow was actually begging him, but Roy did not need Jack Sparrow.
Although his compass was magical, Roy was now inspired. He could use his souls to create a similar tool through the system to find the murderers.
Therefore, Roy shook his head and said, “No! What you proposed is not enough!”
That’s right. This deal that Jack Sparrow had mentioned was completely useless to Roy. For Roy, after harvesting the souls of the pirates, he could find those pirates at any time and help Cassandra carry out her revenge against her first target.
“Not enough?” Jack Sparrow was stunned when he heard this. “I’m just a homeless pirate now. What else do you want? Don’t tell me you want my soul like Davy Jones?”
Roy glanced at him and said, “What do I want your soul for? There’s nothing special about your soul!”
Yes, in Roy’s view, although Jack Sparrow was an important figure in this world, his soul was no different from any other.
Ever since he killed Van Helsing in the Van Helsing world, Roy had understood that these fantasy worlds were actually parallel worlds. The history of these worlds could be changed, and the so-called protagonists were only special characters in certain periods. Situations like Van Helsing, who was one of Gabriel’s incarnations, were very rare.
Furthermore, with Jack Sparrow’s character, since he had mentioned his soul, it meant that he had thought about going back on his word. Otherwise, how could a person who had not completely fallen to the bottom take the initiative to trade his soul with a demon?
“I’m so sad to hear you say that!” Jack Sparrow said. “I thought that Captain Jack Sparrow’s soul might be worth more… Okay, what do you want?”
“What do I want?” Roy could not help but glance at Cassandra. Then he extended his claws and slowly clenched his hand finger by finger in front of Jack Sparrow. He said coldly, “What I want is for the people of this world to fear me! I want them to know that my existence represents the existence of the Abyss of Hell! When people commit unforgivable crimes, the gates of Hell will open for them! As for me, Demon Osiris is the judge of the Abyss of Hell!”
Although his words were a little silly, they were indeed Roy’s heartfelt words. After hearing Roy’s words, Jack Sparrow was stunned. The dark circles under his eyes made his expression look rather comical.
“Wait, wait!” Jack Sparrow said carefully, “Are you sure you’re a demon and not an angel?”
“Is there a difference between an angel and a demon?” Roy glanced at him. “Have you ever thought about why demons exist? Good and evil are two sides of the same coin. When angels can blow their trumpets to extinguish life, why can’t demons bring salvation? Without destruction, how can there be new life? The existence of Heaven is to guide the good intentions of people, and the existence of Hell is to warn against the malice of people. Is there anything wrong with that?”
