Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 297 When it comes to brutality, Davy Jones is far from the top.
In just the blink of an eye, Van Oka died on the spot.

Kuzan breathed rapidly and stared at Van Oka's body for a long time. He felt guilty for not being able to rescue him, and he was also shocked by the carnage and killing.

Porphyrin.

Suddenly, he heard a slight stirring sound coming from the wriggling tentacles, and realized that the attack was not over yet.

Now was not the time to get entangled. He turned around without hesitation and jumped from the tip of the iceberg to the sea.

When his toes were about to land on the rushing waves, the sudden drop in temperature froze them into a small piece of ice.

He stepped on such pieces of ice and quickly moved away from the uplifted iceberg.

As for the trident that fell on the iceberg, countless tentacles stretched out from its body, densely intertwined, piled higher and higher until it turned into a human form.

Davy Jones arrived on the iceberg.

He first picked up the trident, and then glanced at the dead Van Oka and the hurriedly fleeing Kuzan.

Seeing that it was their strange combination of navy and pirates, he quickly guessed the reason why they joined forces to take away the trident.

However, this is not a good idea and has no chance of success.

The trident is a part of Davy Jones, one of his hands, one of his legs, one of his ribs, and he can come to his "broken limb" at any time.

They took the trident away just so that Davy Jones could teleport to them.

Kuzan did not look back. The "color of sight" and the expanding black vortex in his palm had confirmed who was coming.

Not fast enough.

He stepped on the ice and suddenly jumped into the air, trying to use the "moon step" to distance himself.

However, the hairs on his back stood up as he realized that Davy Jones was behind him.

After all, he couldn't help it and looked back.

He saw crows all over the sky flying behind him, screaming like black tornadoes.

A black shadow emerged from it, countless tentacles wrapped around his back, and a hand pressed on his head.

Click - Davy Jones crushed Kuzan's head, and it turned into broken ice slag and fell to the sea.

At the critical moment, Kuzan left behind his ice clone and escaped, falling into the sea in embarrassment.

He waved his arms, and the ice fangs rose above the sea. He landed on the fangs and raised his head nervously.

"'Qing Pheasant' Kuzan." Davy Jones slowly fell from the sky, his black robe floating on the sea, and the waves calmed down gently. "This should be the fourth time we have met."

The first time was in the Water City, the second time was at Marine Headquarters Mariford, the third time was on Punk Hassad Island, and now it’s the fourth time.

Kuzan had a splitting headache.

Davy Jones's words buzzed in his eardrums. He heard only fragments of words and could only barely piece together what Davy Jones said.

"It seems that if you face me directly, the impact of the 'curse' on you is so great that it affects normal communication."

Davy Jones did not move, but the seawater pushed him forward, stopping before Kuzan's ice fangs. His many tentacles climbed up the ice fangs like venomous snakes.

Kuzan was staring at stars, and everything he saw was distorting and changing. Davy Jones in front of him, the ice teeth on the soles of his feet, the nearby seawater, and even himself seemed to have changed.

Or is this what they really look like?What I see now is normal?

He couldn't suppress his random thoughts in this state at all, until he felt a smooth touch all over his body.

This sticky feeling gradually stabilized his spirit.Everything Kuzan saw with his eyes finally returned to its original appearance. When he saw clearly that it was Davy Jones who helped him, he couldn't help but take a step back in surprise.

Davy Jones's tentacles retreated from Kuzan and returned to his black robes.

"This will make you feel better. But it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

Davy Jones slowly took out a long-handled pipe, tobacco, and matchbox from his arms, and started puffing slowly.

"The Trident can't help you, this is a dead end. You only have three choices."

"Either flee to the ends of the earth and stay as far away from me as possible, or turn this 'curse' into a 'contract' with me, or end everything by ending your life."

Kuzan has been thinking hard about how to lift the "curse", so he has already thought of two of the "options" mentioned by Davy Jones.

As for the option of converting "curse" into "contract", he only knows now.

"However, your moth flying into the flame has killed the first option. Now, you are only left with two options: surrender to me or die."

Kuzan knew that what Davy Jones said was true.

Without this damn "curse", he might still be able to compete with Davy Jones, but now he is just a fish on the chopping board.

From this, Kuzan had a doubt.

"Why give me a choice?"

He didn't give "Akainu" Sakaski a chance to choose, he didn't give "Blackbeard" Teach a chance to choose, and he didn't give "Otonokoshi" Van Oka a chance to choose.

"I have a good impression of you. Anyone who is willing to deal fairly and abide by the contract deserves my respect."

Kuzan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Davy Jones was talking about that time in the Water Capital.

At that time, he and Smoker were forced to expose their backs to Davy Jones in order to prevent a huge tsunami from swallowing civilians.

However, Davy Jones did not take advantage of the opportunity to take action. Instead, he used this incident as a trade in exchange for information about "Domineering".

Kuzan and Smoker also watched the Terror Ghost leave without sending any warships to pursue it.

This is the tacit understanding between them.

"I regret my compromise with you at that time." Kuzan said sincerely, "Do you think I will choose to surrender to you after seeing your cruelty?"

Davy Jones pulled the long-handled pipe out of his lips with some confusion: "My cruelty?"

He then realized that Kuzan was referring to all the sailors who died at the hands of Davy Jones, including "Akainu" Sakaski.

"No, when it comes to cruelty, I'm still not ranked first. Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, Doflamingo, Wang Zhi... and even your navy headquarters are all ahead of me."

Kuzan was startled again. If he mentioned Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, Teach, Doflamingo, and Wang Zhi, he was actually right.

Because they had occupied the "Grand Line" for decades, they killed far more sailors than Davy Jones alone, let alone civilians.

However, saying that the "Navy Headquarters" is ranked before him is such a sophistry, it makes no sense at all!

"Don't you believe it? I have many subordinates, and one of them is good at gathering intelligence. She often laments to me that the World Government and the Navy Headquarters are the most powerful pirates, and they are the well-deserved 'head of the sea emperors'. You know why?"

Kuzan frowned, thinking of some memories, but at this moment he chose to remain silent.
