Compared to the Egyptian world, which Chen Mo was unwilling to conquer directly, the situation in the Caribbean world, which had also not been completely conquered but had been brought under control, was much worse.

At least in the eyes of Jack Sparrow, who is no longer the captain, the world has become quite bad.

After Chen Mo completely conquered Shipwreck Bay and subdued all the pirate kings, the profession of pirates almost ceased to exist in this world.

Especially as Chen Mo's dominance of the world deepened, the emergence of steam engines, iron-hulled ships, and breech-loaded cannons also made pirates lose the soil for survival.

After all, pirates couldn't get iron-hulled ships, nor could they operate steam engines, let alone breech-loading cannons that used fixed ammunition.

All these require professional knowledge to handle, and pirates would not be able to use wooden-hulled sailboats to rob iron-hulled steamships. Even if they robbed them, it would be difficult for them to learn to operate these things.

Moreover, the East India Company's fleet has also been upgraded. The new iron-hulled warships are simply a nightmare for all pirates. They have no way to go to the sky or the ground to pursue them.

This has even led to the unemployment of privateering captains. It is indeed possible to rob merchant ships of hostile countries, but if the price is to be approached by the navy's iron-hulled warships, and then pierced through the bow of the ship with an armor-piercing shell from the eight-inch main gun. The stern of the ship, or a high-explosive bomb could blow up the entire ship with one shot. I'm afraid not many people would dare to continue doing this business.

After all, iron-hulled warships are now the main warships of various navies, and they themselves don't have enough. Except for the East India Company, which can get some from the British Navy, others don't even think about it.

As for iron-hulled merchant ships or steam merchant ships, they are selling like crazy. Now the shipping routes are full of these fast guys who no longer use sails and masts.

It's not that there are no pirates who want to buy these things, but operating steam engines is too difficult for the old sea dogs.

In particular, steam engines do not require additional consumption like sailing ships. They need to burn coal, and the ship cannot run without going to the port to replenish the ship.

As for pirates, they can't guarantee that they will gain something every time they go sailing. In the past, if they didn't gain anything, they would just have a harder time, and they could only eat the seafood they caught from the sea. It was not a big problem.

But now, if we switch to a steamship, the trip will be in vain if we don’t gain anything at the same time.

Not to mention that frequent trips to replenish coal will bring more risks of exposure to pirates. Even an old seal, no matter how rich his family is, can't bear to live like this.

But if you don't change to steamships, you can't outperform today's merchant ships, so an infinite loop is formed, causing the pirates' living space to be squeezed smaller and smaller.

So much so that guys like Jack Sparrow, who only used the pirate flag and were closer to adventurers in nature, have gradually stopped running at sea. They had to drag the Black Pearl ashore and let the crew fend for themselves.

Except for his first mate Gipps who still never abandons him, no one takes the former Captain Jack seriously anymore.

Even now, Jack Sparrow is so poor that he doesn't even have a place to live. Apart from hanging out in the pub and drinking on credit, he has nothing to do.

Fortunately, some of his former friends still remembered him, and occasionally people would come to see him, and by the way, they would also help him pay off his debts and give him some support.

But for Jack Sparrow, it was something he couldn't accept but had to accept.

To paraphrase Chen Mo’s familiar words, it’s lonely, family members.

This also makes Jack Sparrow reluctant to see his old friends now. After all, everyone is doing better than him.

When the pirate kings in the past were recruited by Chen Mo, each of them got a privateering license, and their men were all resettled. Although they said they could no longer be pirates in the future, they ran away in a serious manner. You can still live well in business.

Even William Turner, who was caught by Chen Mo, is doing well now. Although he failed to marry the governor's daughter in the end, he is now considered a well-known blacksmith in the Caribbean and inherited his master's blacksmith shop. , life was pretty good.

As for Elizabeth, Jack Sparrow's eyes couldn't help but become blurred when he thought of this pirate-like woman.

It has to be said that for old fur seals like them who have been wandering on the sea all year round and whose sows can compete with Diao Chan, aristocratic ladies like Elizabeth do have a fatal attraction.

But it was obvious that such a noble lady was not from the same group as them.

After they left Davy Jones's demonic realm, they were captured by Lord Becket. Jack Sparrow and Barbossa escaped through their respective circumstances, but Elizabeth and William Turner were sent back to the royal family. port.

Governor Swann really loved his daughter very much. Even though her daughter did not listen to him and ran back to the Caribbean from the British mainland and hung out with pirates again, the old father still tried his best to use all kinds of connections to help her. The daughter obtained an amnesty order.

In exchange for Elizabeth no longer being with William Turner, Governor Swann pardoned him for his piracy crimes instead of hanging him directly on the gallows.

As for now, Jack Sparrow had heard from William Turner before that Elizabeth was sent back to the British mainland, married a nobleman, and should have given birth to children.

It can only be said that everyone seemed to have their own life back then, but when he was not so drunk by chance, Jack Sparrow would have an illusion in a trance, as if everyone's life and destiny should not be like this. They should have had a better ending.

But fate was different from what he had imagined. This pirate world finally came to an end without pirates.

Over the years, Jack Sparrow has heard less and less about pirates. Maybe he is the last pirate in the world.

With this thought, Jack Sparrow took out the magical compass from his arms, slapped it on the bar, and said to the bartender: "I'll use it as collateral, give me wine! I want it." Rum!”

The bartender glanced at Jack Sparrow, who was in a mess, and then at the compass on the bar. He shook his head before taking the compass away in disgust, and then placed a bottle of inferior rum in front of Jack Sparrow. .

Jack Sparrow unscrewed the bottle and poured wine into his mouth. Only when he was drunk did he feel that the past days had returned. He was the free and happy pirate again, the great Jack Sparrow. Captain Sparrow.

However, at this moment, a slightly mocking voice came: "Look, who is this? The once great Captain Jack Sparrow has now become an alcoholic."
