Bonus chapters [7] - EX - 640 Power Stones
A/N: There are some crazy people thinking this is Chinese because I joked using "Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys" in one of the titles. I just want to say that if you think it's Chinese, I invite you to go to try find the "original" instead of bothering me here. If you're allergic to anything Chinese, including jokes like this, I invite you to leave without bothering me. Thank you.

3 days.
That was the time they spent sailing at sea until they sighted what they were looking for.
Not far away, a black ship in pieces lifted its entire bow, with the rotten pieces of wood serving as sharp teeth, the ship's bow fell all at once on top of the merchant vessel, reducing it to rubble.
"Look, it seems we arrived a little late." Rigel sighed.
Elizabeth, standing beside him, put her hand to her mouth in shock. "How awful!"
"That's why you should go back home." Will pointed to the side, not missing the chance to try and send her back.
Elizabeth gave him a hard look, her lips pursed, probably wanting to punch Will. Rigel sighed, thinking. 'Will is really stupid.'
"I bet a shilling he'll get slapped before we're done fighting." Pintel said to Ragetti not far away.
Ragetti seemed thoughtful for a moment, before laughing and nodding. "All right."
"I bet he'll get slapped before we even start the fight." Marty, the dwarf, stepped forward, joining the bet.
Cotton's parrot spoke next. "Five minutes, five minutes!"
The group of pirates were still pirates.
Rigel ignored those bastards and prepared to go to Port (Left) to speak with Jack, but at that moment he heard a slap, surprised, saw Elizabeth stomping, lifting her dress and moving away from the still stunned Will.
He slowly turned his head towards the pirates, and they were all looking at the parrot.
"Finger in the hole! Finger in the hole!" The parrot shouted excitedly.
Rigel could only think about what the hell that meant, but he turned his gaze back to the crew. "So?! Pay the parrot!"
They all stared at him in astonishment for a moment, but with unhappy faces, they took the money and placed it in the barrel where the parrot was sitting. The parrot danced excitedly around the money, and Rigel stared at it for a while.
Shaking his head, he turned back to what he planned to do, leaving the lucky parrot in peace.
"Cotton, finger in the hole! Finger in the hole!" The parrot landed on Cotton's shoulder, who quickly grabbed the money and put it away.
Pintel, curious, approached and asked. "And what does that mean?"
Cotton, who had no tongue, raised one finger and pointed at the parrot, then raised two fingers.
"Uh, I love guessing games!" Ragetti clapped excitedly.
"Quiet, let me think!" Pintel shouted angrily.
"Two? Two parrots?" Marty said, making Cotton nod, then he pointed to the money, then he raised his other hand and made a hole and ran his finger through it, finally he pointed again to the parrot.
"Ah, so he wants you to hire a female parrot for him!" Ragetti said after thinking for a moment, the other pirates seemed to have reached the same conclusion.
But Cotton shook his head, pointed at the parrot again, then ran his finger through the hole again.
Everyone was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Wait, is he a gay parrot?" Ragetti, still trying to understand, asked in shock. The group of pirates, who also hadn't understood, looked at the parrot in shock.
Cotton shrugged.
[A/N: I swear I'll stop, this is the last one for now, lmao.]

Jack gazed at the ship being destroyed by the other in the distance through a telescope, his lip twitching, his face clearly trying to remain calm.
The crew looked at Jack, finding this captain increasingly unlucky, until Gibbs took a step away from Jack again, afraid of catching his bad luck.
"Hey Jack!" Rigel's voice snapped Jack out of his reverie. Turning to the side, he saw Rigel's figure on the side of the Interceptor.
"What?!" Jack asked, his voice higher-pitched than usual.
"I'll leave Anamaria in charge of the naval battle, I'll handle the ghosts!" Rigel said. "You follow her example!"
Jack, who just wanted to turn around and run, looked at the snakes on the black pearl and sighed, smiling 'excitedly', he shouted back. "Of course, good choice indeed, she's a great capt- I mean, immediate."
"Shut up, Jack!" Anamaria's voice came from afar, glaring at Jack furiously.
Jack smiled at her, turned quickly, his smile fading, and approached Gibbs.
"What do we do, Captain?" Gibbs swallowed hard and asked.
"What do we do? Of course we attack!" He turned to the men and spoke quickly. "What are you waiting for? Prepare the cannons!"
The Pearl and the Interceptor quickly approached the Silent Mary, which surprised Salazar with the audacity of these idiots, but the moment he saw Jack on the other side, the smile on his face quickly grew.
"Hahaha! Hombres! We're having Sparrow for dinner!" He shouted excitedly.
The crew laughed as much as he did, their hatred for Jack surpassed only by that of their captain.
Rigel, on the other hand, approached without waiting any longer. Pulling out his wand, he waved as the green mist rapidly emitted, causing the phantom snake to grow to 15 meters in length.
Before the shocked eyes of Salazar and his crew, the basilisk attacked!
Rigel knew he couldn't swallow so many ghosts at once, his last experience being a warning, so he controlled the snake to swallow them one at a time while fighting the others.
He felt the weight as soon as the first ghost was swallowed, but it was bearable.
Jack and Anamaria, on the other hand, were already commanding the crews to put Silent Mary in the sights of the cannons.
The free pirates carried their flintlock pistols and fired. As soon as the fight began, Rigel's crew felt a surge of energy within them, even fear was cast aside as courage filled their veins. It was the effect of the pirate hat.
"What is that, Hombre?" Salazar shouted as he used his sword to attack Diabolus. The sword wounded Diabolus, causing him to wince slightly, but soon his fury was drawn directly towards Salazar.
The snake wasn't actually hurt, but instead Rigel felt his magic being consumed a little faster in order to 'heal' it.
The ghosts, realizing they could damage Diabolus, began to counterattack, which made Rigel even paler and sweat profusely.
Thoughtfully, he frowned and tried something different. With his level of mastery in this spell, he concentrated as he began to separate Diabolus into smaller fragments.
The effect was immediate, Diabolus dispersed into thousands of miniature basilisks, each one weak, barely causing damage when they bit, but there were many of them.
Rigel felt that maintaining the spell in this way was much easier than expected, although the effects were less severe, dealing with crowds was much simpler.
At that point, both the interceptor and the Black Pearl had the Silent Mary in their sights.
"Fire!" Jack shouted.
"Fire!" Anamaria shouted.
