He signaled his subordinates to help Jack get on the boat, looked at Jack who was holding a leg bone and paddling the coffin, and asked, "Has the plan changed?"
"There were some difficulties," said Jack, throwing the leg bone overboard, "but I've found that if you ask the right people, there's always someone willing to give up a leg bone."
Barbossa looked out from the side of the boat, "To be honest, I really hope that you can die in the coffin like this guy. That would not be considered a violation of the contract we signed with that man."
"Sorry to disappoint you." Jack wobbled aboard the Black Pearl.
Barbosa looked at the one-legged skeleton, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes: "People are always like this. When they get it, they would rather not have it, and when they lose it, they want to get it."
There is something in the words, which seems a bit sad.
"But thanks to that character, I finally feel the taste of being nourished by a woman again."
Jack sighed and teased, "Honestly, I feel sorry for that woman."
As he spoke he passed Barbossa, and as he walked along the boat he drew a rolled piece of cloth from his sleeve and began to study it in earnest.
"Is that what he went to find in the prison?" asked a toothless pirate named Leach eagerly.
Everyone on board is eager to know what treasure Jack has found.
"Yeah, but I haven't had time to properly estimate how much it's worth," Jack said with a sly grin, seemingly unwilling to share the news just yet.
Suddenly, a little monkey jumped down from the rigging of the boat and landed in front of Jack, screaming as if he were the devil.
Jack yelled at him too, and at that moment the monkey snatched the roll, picked it up, and climbed into the sail.
Every time a beam of moonlight passes by, the monkey turns into a skeleton from head to tail.
This is the result of the curse not being lifted. When it left the island of death, it stole a gold coin that did not belong to it and sent it to Barbossa.
(This also means that if the gold coin in Barbossa's hand cannot be returned, Chen Feng and his crew of the Jackdaw will never be able to lift the curse of immortality.)
Barbossa named the monkey Jack, as a way of adding insult to injury.
Jack hated the thing, and he took out his pistol and aimed it at the cursed monkey, and he fired, but the gun just clicked.
The bullets in the gun had already been used on the crow that was blown away and pecked at the coffin.
"boom!"
Jack snatched a gun from another pirate's waist and fired again.
This time, he hit the target, and the monkey was knocked down, and the cloth roll fell from its hand.
But the monkey quickly jumped up again, grinning.
Barbossa glanced at Jack, pointed at the gun and said to Jack, "You know it's useless."
Jack shrugged, "To keep my target alert, I'd actually rather shoot the owner if I could."
A crew member on deck hurriedly picked up the dropped roll, and the monkey screamed endlessly.
"Why did this heartless monkey fail to lift the damn curse?" Jack muttered.
He saw that the pirate who had received the cloth was looking at the cloth carefully.
"This is a key," said the key, tilting his head and squinting one eye.
"How can a key compare to this," Jack added, holding up a finger. "It's a picture of a key."
The puzzled crew watched to see if Barbossa could offer an explanation.
Barbossa cleared his throat and said, "Jack, I think we're expecting something more rewarding. The Isle of the Dead thing kind of screwed up."
Jack nodded in agreement. He remembered the island where he was forced by a powerful man who suddenly appeared to sign a contract with Barbossa to regain the Black Pearl.
However, it is a state shared with Barbossa.
One crew member said: "We fought for months to leave the British Navy behind us."
"Now that we've lost our undead, we've lost a few brothers at each port, and for the rest of us, it seems like it's been a while since we've done anything we've done," someone went on.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one boat cannot accommodate two kings. Over the past few days, Barbossa and Jack have often disagreed, but due to the relationship between the alliance's reinforcement contract, they had to let one party compromise with the other.
As for who compromises whom, the way to choose is... finger-guessing.
Winner of the last couple of times Jack turned to his crew and asked, "Is that what you think? Do you all think that I, as the captain, do nothing for everyone's benefit?"
Everyone moved their bodies uncomfortably, which was very embarrassing.
Barbosa sneered: "Obviously, Jack."
"Gentlemen, what can a key do?" Jack asked.
The curious rascals on the Black Pearl looked at each other.
"Can they open things?" Leach suddenly excited.
Jack made a face, as if to say, "Yeah, and then..."
"No matter what this key opens, there must be something valuable hidden inside."

Chapter 243 The Fearful One!Legendary character!
"No matter what this key opens, there must be something valuable hidden inside." Leach imagined that there were several boxes of gold coins, and added, "So we are going to find what this key can open!"
Jack shook his head. "No, if we don't have the key, we can't open anything it can open."
"What's the use of finding the thing that needs to be opened if you can't find the key that will open it first? Really, idiot."
The crew chattered, confused.
They tried as hard as they could to follow the captain's train of thought.
"So, we're going to find this key?" Barbossa casually squinted and smiled.
Jack observed the bewildered faces of the crew and sighed.
"What's the use of a key if we don't have something the key can open? Please, use your brains and try to keep up!"
"So, is there a course?" asked another pirate.
"Ah, a heading!" Jack said, turning around, trying to take out his compass, but found nothing.
