"If you don't rebel against the Qing, your ass gets a drill!"
That's a classic saying in the online novel world. Apparently, any writer who dares to go against this principle will be cursed by millions of readers.
Similarly, since he had arrived in the Americas in the early eighteenth century, if he didn't cause trouble for those European bastards, wouldn't he also be cursed?
Even though Li Qingyuan knew that the world he'd transmigrated to had nothing to do with the original timeline, that didn't stop his personal feelings from wanting those Europeans to suffer.
Forget the system's task of taking down the British; even without a mission, he wasn't planning on letting the British have an easy time.
Port Royal, as the most important military and economic stronghold for the British in Central America, possessed unparalleled defenses. Nearly a hundred shore batteries could turn any invading enemy into sea-bound ghosts.
However, no matter how strong the defense network, it was completely useless if attacked from within.
The HMS Fearless was the finest warship in Port Royal, and Governor Swann had been the highest-ranking official in Port Royal for nearly a decade. With these two assets at his disposal, the entire leadership of Port Royal changed hands in a single afternoon!
Of course, Li Qingyuan's control over Port Royal was tenuous. The two hundred soldiers aboard the HMS Fearless, having witnessed his feat of taking on a hundred men, had a loyalty rating barely above fifty. The remaining soldiers in the port simply followed Governor Swann's orders.
If someone were to start a rebellion, the thousand-strong garrison would likely turn their guns on him immediately.
In fact, many soldiers probably didn't even realize they had a new leader!
So, after settling Governor Swann, Li Qingyuan immediately took Jack Sparrow to Port Royal's prison.
Norrington had been aggressively hunting pirates in Port Royal for years. While many pirates had been hanged at the docks, the prison still held a number of unfortunate souls who hadn't been dealt with yet.
After all, for many poor people, they only had their lives to lose. Being a pirate, while resulting in a hanging if caught, at least offered a way out!
It was far better than being exploited to death by the noble lords back home.
Not to mention the escaped black slaves and the remaining Native Americans.
If they didn't become pirates, they could only become slaves. So, even knowing that being a pirate meant they wouldn't live long, it was the only path for them.
"The smell in this prison is awful!" After ordering Jack Sparrow to open the prison door, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but cover his nose when he smelled the stench.
It was even more unbearable than the smell he had encountered in the Titanic's hold the first time. No wonder the death rate in prisons was so high in those days.
The pirates locked in the prison were all silent, not knowing what fate awaited them.
Every time the prison door opened, either new people were brought in or old ones were dragged out to be hanged. Thus, every opening of the door was a matter of life and death for the prisoners!
Waving his hand, Li Qingyuan signaled Jack Sparrow to speak on his behalf.
"Gentlemen, are you all doing well here?" Receiving the order, Jack Sparrow ran to the middle of the prison and began to perform.
"Get lost!"
"Let me strangle you, you bastard!"
"I'm willing to join your ship, Captain, please let me out!"
The moment they saw that it wasn't the navy but Jack Sparrow who had charged in, all the pirates in the prison erupted.
A few days ago, the Black Pearl had bombarded Port Royal. These pirates thought their good luck had arrived, but who knew that the other side would completely ignore them, just snatching the Governor Swann's daughter and running off. This also caused Norrington, who had lost his fiancée, to drag a few unlucky ones out to be hanged to vent his frustration.
Everyone in the prison knew that this effeminate guy had been rescued a few days ago, and that the rescuer seemed to be a pirate. Now that he appeared here, perhaps Port Royal was under attack again?
Although with Port Royal's defenses, even the legendary ghost ship Black Pearl could only sneak in for a quick grab and leave, who could say for sure!
No matter who it was, they didn't want to stay here and wait to die, right?
"Quiet! Quiet!" Jack Sparrow waved his hands to signal the prisoners to be quiet, but those people didn't give a damn about him.
Everyone's out here trying to make a living, why should we listen to you?
Besides, being locked up in this place, waiting to die every day, has driven many people to the brink. Just shouting at them won't keep them quiet!
"Agh!"
"Agh!"
Li Qingyuan frowned slightly, and immediately, screams erupted from the mouths of several of the loudest pirates. The men all collapsed to the ground, twitching, with various disgusting substances flowing from their lower bodies.
The damage from a Bullet Ant is several times stronger than a spider wasp. A single bite from these little things can make you question your existence. These captured pirates weren't exactly iron-willed heroes, and they screamed worse than anyone else.
The remaining pirates immediately fell silent, like cicadas in winter. The ones screaming were the toughest among them, and now they were all in such a state. The others instantly shut up.
"So, you guys, now you know how awesome the great Jack Sparrow... cap... cap... captain is!" Jack Sparrow had been ready to stir up more trouble, but when he saw Li Qingyuan raise another finger, he wisely backed down!
Of course, the great Captain Jack Sparrow called this a strategic retreat, not because he was afraid of the other side.
"How do you do, you sea scum!" Li Qingyuan waved his hand at the pirates in the prison.
"Bastard, you dare—" Another pirate, probably wanting to show off his courage, shouted from within the cell.
But well! This just made things easier!
HETUI !
With a spit, the guy, along with the cell bars, was directly blown to pieces.
Feel!
All the prisoners inhaled sharply, and Jack Sparrow made a mental note.
Definitely don't let the captain's spit land on him, or it's game over!
Speaking of which, if the guy's spit could cause explosions, wouldn't going to the bathroom result in a chain reaction of explosions?
Thinking about this, Jack Sparrow suddenly felt that the most dangerous place on the whole ship might just be the toilet!
"Anyone else have any opinions? My esteemed friends, the scum of the earth?" Li Qingyuan clapped his hands lightly and asked the surrounding prisoners.
A row of synchronized headshakes, even the prisoners in the cells whose doors had been blown open, and who were now free, were all well-behaved, with no small movements at all!
The destructive power of a single spit was comparable to a cannonball. Who could handle that?
