Suddenly Jack turned and ran to starboard.
"There, it moved!" he yelled as he ran, "It's so fast!"
The others ran after him, and the hull heeled as their weight shifted to the other side.
Elizabeth was lost in thought at this time, she curled up on the side of the boat, and did not notice Jack's weird behavior.
But when the hull began to list further, her attention was finally caught.
She looked up just in time to see Jack turn sharply again.
"There! There it is!" cried Jack, and ran back to the port side, and everyone followed him.Now, even Elizabeth was up and running after him, the hull listing more to port.
"What is it?" Elizabeth asked.
"It's not here!" Jack yelled.
Again he ran to the starboard side, and again all the pirates followed him, and once more the ship listed even more.
Curiously, Barbossa approached the table with the nautical chart, and he saw the message "up is down", a picture of an upside-down ship and the light of a sunset.
"He rocked the boat!" said Pantel, bewildered.
"We are the ones who rocked the boat!" The others ran together, echoing.
Barbossa immediately understood what Jack was up to.
"Yes, he understands!" Barbossa yelled. "Everyone! Keep in tune with the rising and falling of the waves!"
The former captain of the Black Pearl ran to the cabin, clasped his hands and shouted at the crew below decks.
"Unlock the cannon!" he cried. "Empty the cargo! Let it move!"
The pirates rushed to carry out the orders, the ropes of the mooring crates were untied, and as the hull heeled more and more, the vats and bottles rolled all over the place, clanging and rolling from one side of the ship to the other.
Caton turned the rudder to steer the boat to the side of the swell, which contributed to the heeling of the ship.
"He rocked the boat!" Pantel reiterated again, until now, he didn't understand why.
When all the fragments were understood, Rajti caught up with him holding a long rope.
"We lash each other to the mast," Rajetti explained, "upside down so that when the boat capsizes, we're right!"
Pantel didn't quite get the logic, but it sounded right, and he quickly tied Rajti to the mast.
Will was running to the side of the boat with the others, looking out at the horizon beyond the open sea, where the sun was rapidly sinking down into the sea.
The last rays of the sun begin to disappear beneath the waves...
The Black Pearl is leaning in the other direction again...
Jack said loudly: "It's now, up is down!"
With a violent ups and downs, the whole ship fell completely, throwing everyone into the water.
The sails bulged as the water poured into them.
Chains, cannon, shells, and everything not tied down fell into the sea, and the pirates clung to the sides of the ship.
Jack, Barbossa, Will and Elizabeth clung to the boat.
Pantel and Rajti were tied to the mast and held their breath.
Will saw the charts drifting away, and reached out a hand to grab them.
Sudden......
A green light flashed on the horizon!
Then, boom!
With a loud bang, sea water poured down from the Black Pearl.
Everything was slammed back on deck: pirates, cannons, parrots, everything.
The Pearl floated on the surface again, but this was no longer the cold, hollow water of hell.
There is a sunrise here, the sky is full of sunshine, and a small island is calling not far away.
They escaped from Davy Jones' underwater grave and finally returned to the real world.
Jack looked at his hand immediately, the dark spot was gone, does that mean that his debt to Davy Jones has been paid off?
Did Jack finally get rid of the sea monster's pursuit?
He took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air of the living world.
"Westerly, blessed by God!" The crew looked around and shouted: "We are going home!"
Pantel and Rajetti opened their eyes. They were still tied to the mast, on all fours.
"It's all your bad idea," Pantel said, "and the fact that I agree with your idea doesn't make you any wiser."
"And that doesn't make you any smarter," Rajetti retorted.
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!

Chapter 286 The Death of the Sea Monster!
"Westerly, blessed by God!" The crew looked around and shouted: "We are going home!"
Pantel and Rajetti opened their eyes. They were still tied to the mast, on all fours.
"It's all your bad idea," Pantel said, "and the fact that I agree with your idea doesn't make you any wiser."
"And that doesn't make you any smarter," Rajetti retorted.
Ignoring the feuding critters, Will turned around, his eyes searching the deck.
He saw Elizabeth standing by the side of the ship, staring at the horizon, and walking cautiously forward.
"That's sunrise," she said with a grin. They weren't safe yet, Davy Jones and Lord Beckett were still there.
But they rescued Jack Sparrow and escaped from the world of the dead.There's already enough reason to take a break and celebrate.
Barbossa and Jack were also grinning, a light-hearted vibe rippling through the deck, however...
