Chapter 550: It is wrong to steal something when it is available. We should do something bigger.

Caribbean Sea, Port Royal.

Jack Sparrow, wearing a cocked hat, stepped on the mast and slowly floated towards the dock. This scene attracted the attention of sailors who were loading cargo onto the ship in the port.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, totally confused as to how this unkempt man had managed to sail across the ocean in a boat that was leaking so badly.

Jack Sparrow was obviously used to being the center of attention wherever he went, so he didn't care about other people's gazes at all. After jumping onto the dock, he walked towards the harbor in a swagger without even looking at the silent ship with only the mast top left.

At this time, the tax officer who was leading a black boy happened to pass by him and immediately shouted, "Stop right there."

Jack Sparrow immediately stopped, turned around, and walked back with a swagger.

"You need to pay one shilling to allow your ship to dock," said the tax collector.

Jack Sparrow said nothing, but just looked towards where the boat had been.

At this time, his boat had sunk and only the flag on the top of the mast remained. Because there was no wind at that time, the mast was drooping and half of it was soaked in water.

The tax officer obviously didn't intend to let it go, and continued: "And you have to tell me your name."

"I'll give you three shillings." Jack Sparrow took out three silver coins from his pocket and laid them out on the register held by the tax collector. "Let's not talk about names anymore."

The tax collector looked at him and said, "Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith."

Jack Sparrow clasped his hands together to express his gratitude to the tax collector, then turned around and walked away, shaking his head and wagging his tail.

When passing by the tax officer's desk at the dock, he saw a purse that might have been left behind by the tax officer. He picked it up and shook it. When he heard the crisp sound of coins colliding, he put it into his pocket without hesitation.

"Hey, stealing is not a good habit..." As he spoke, a man with black hair, yellow skin, handsome appearance and strong body walked over.

"Sorry, I just wanted to take a look..." Jack Sparrow was not at all panicked after being caught on the spot. He smiled and spread his hands, ready to put the wallet back.

At this time, the black-haired man came over with a smile, took the wallet from his hand, poured out all the coins in it, gave him half, and then said: "If you don't give me half, then I can pretend that I didn't see anything."

After saying that, he nodded to Jack Sparrow and said, "Rosen, a Chinese."

"Man, I kind of like you." Jack Sparrow looked at Rosen with a smile and introduced himself: "Jack Sparrow, from anywhere." (Note)

"Nice to meet you." Rosen extended his hand.

Jack Sparrow looked at him, then looked at his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to shake his hand.

Although we only shook hands for a moment and then released each other, at least it wasn't as unfamiliar as before.

Rosen stretched out his hand as if inviting Jack Sparrow to join him, and then took the lead to walk into the Royal Port.

Although Jack Sparrow didn't know what the Chinese man in front of him wanted to do, his curiosity made him unable to help but follow him.

"To be honest, there's really no point in taking this little money. It's not even enough for a nice drink." Rosen shook the coins in his hand, which totaled no more than ten shillings. He turned his head and looked at Jack Sparrow, who was walking side by side with him but more than a person's distance away. He said, "Do you want to do something big with me?"

"Don't be ridiculous. This is Port Royal. No matter what bad things you do, if you are caught, you will be hanged outside as a pirate."

Jack Sparrow said this seriously, then tilted his head, looked at Rosen and asked with a smile: "But I'm really curious about what you want to do?"

"I see, I'm new here and I have nothing." Rosen said, spreading his hands towards Jack Sparrow and patting the pockets of his clothes.

The clothes Rosen is wearing now are typical British style, with a classic trench coat and a bowler hat, exuding a strong sense of nostalgia.

If Rosen dared to wear this outfit to meet Tony Stark, he might be ridiculed by him for wanting to relive the popular style during World War II.

But in the Royal Port of this era, this kind of dress is really too trendy.

It can’t be said that it is 200 years ahead of the fashion trend, but at least it looks more eye-catching than Jack Sparrow’s outfit.

But no matter how beautiful the clothes are, they cannot hide the reality of empty pockets.

Fortunately, Rosen had a pretty good-looking sword hanging around his waist. Although he didn't have a musket, at least Jack Sparrow didn't think of him as a pauper who had been robbed and came here to cheat him with empty words.

After honestly showing his situation, Rosen said, "I heard that if you want to be successful in the Caribbean, you need a decent ship."

Jack Sparrow did not respond, but silently gestured for him to continue.

"I just happened to pass by the dock, and unfortunately saw your ship sinking..." Rosen said.

"I want to correct you." Jack Sparrow said seriously, "My amorous young woman is not silent. She... you know, she just has a lot of holes on her body, so the water leaks a lot."

"Once she fills up with water, will she be able to float back to the surface?" Rosen asked with a smile.

"Sorry, can't."

"So you lost your amorous young woman, didn't you?" Rosen said.

"Although I don't want to admit it, but..." Jack Sparrow sighed softly, took off his hat, made a mourning gesture towards the port, and said; "I did lose her."

"So, since neither of them has a boat, shouldn't they get a boat as soon as possible so they can set sail?" Rosen said with a smile.

"Where do you want to get the boat?!" Jack Sparrow raised his eyebrows and his eyes changed slightly.

"Do you even need to ask? This is Port Royal, and there are ships everywhere." Rosen pointed to a huge sailing ship parked near the port and said, "If you want to steal something, of course you have to steal a big one, otherwise it would be a waste of time."

As he spoke, he looked at Jack Sparrow, stretched out his hand and said, "Are you interested in joining us?"

"How can we drive such a big ship with only two of us?" Although Jack Sparrow was somewhat tempted, he was cautious and did not agree rashly. Instead, he took a greedy look at the brig in front of him, then turned to ask Rosen.

"Of course I have my own way, but I can't tell you now." Rosen said.

"Why?" Jack Sparrow tilted his neck to look at Rosen and said, "If we cooperate, shouldn't we be more honest?"

"You also said that, that was after we started working together. It's not possible now, because only friends I trust can share my secrets. Now..."

Rosen put away the smile on his face, looked down at Jack Sparrow, who was much shorter than him, and said, "You're going to take a gamble. Do you want to take a risk and believe that I have this ability?"

"Then I'm betting big." Jack Sparrow bared his teeth and said, "If I lose the bet, I might lose my life."

"But if you win the bet, you will not only have a ship to share with me, but also a trustworthy friend and an unbreakable friendship, and of course, a selfless helping hand that will be extended to you at any time."

Rosen said, staring into his eyes and said, "How about it? Do you want to bet?"

"Why should I trust you?" Jack Sparrow asked.

"Because we are all friends." Rosen replied with a smile.

Jack Sparrow's eyes flashed, and he reached out and shook Rosen's hand, with a bright smile on his face. He said, "I'm taking this bet. I hope you won't let me lose too badly, my friend."

Note: When I was looking up information, I saw a timeline that said Edward Teague and a woman gave birth to Jack Sparrow on a pirate ship off the coast of India.

Therefore, I think Jack Sparrow would not want to drink the water of the Ganges, so he should just be called a man without a country.
