"Actually, I do have power, Mr. Mercer?" he said to a plain-looking man who stood at a distance.
Mercer opened a large briefcase and handed several documents to Beckett.
Beckett read solemnly from the Royal Commission recently appointed him to the trade and protection of the Antilles.
Then he produced a warrant for a man named Will Turner.
Governor Swann looked at the warrant, but it wasn't an order for Will: "It's for Elizabeth Swann!" he exclaimed.
"Really?" asked Beckett. "What a queer mistake I have made."
"Catch her." He ordered suddenly.
The soldiers grabbed Elizabeth. "On what charge?" Elizabeth demanded.
Beckett ignored her.
He flipped through it. "Aha." He held up another paper and said, "This one is for Mr. Will Turner. I have another one for James Norrington. Any idea where he is?" ?”
"Brigadier-General Norrington resigned his public service a few months ago," Governor Swann replied quickly. "We haven't seen him since then."
Elizabeth gritted her teeth. Although she never loved him, she was once engaged to Norrington.
She suddenly found herself thinking only about the experiences she had with Will.
Elizabeth was once kidnapped by Barbossa and his men.In order to save Elizabeth from the cursed pirate, Will sacrificed his own blood, although with the help of the Chinese pirate named Chen Feng.
Before this unexpected episode, Elizabeth had promised to marry Norrington, and when all was said and done, she had to honor the engagement for her father's sake.
But she still couldn't resist the throbbing in her heart, and chose to follow her heart on the day Will rushed into the hanging ground.
The beauty got back lost, and failed to achieve the grudge of catching Jack and Barbossa with his own hands. Norrington, who became more and more dissatisfied with himself, finally resigned from his official position and left Port Royal in disgrace.
"We are British subjects under the Governor-General of the King of Port Royal, and we have a right to know why we are being charged," Elizabeth said bravely, returning to reality.
Beckett looked at his fellow prisoners, and when he spoke again, he announced in a jubilant voice, "The charge was that I had been in close association with a condemned prisoner. Unfortunately, the punishment for this was also the death penalty. They must have remembered a man named ...I think it's a pirate called Chen Feng?"
Will and Elizabeth glanced at each other, and they said together, "It's Captain Chen Feng."
"Yes, I know you will remember." Beckett said with satisfaction, and motioned for his men to drag the two prisoners away.
......
The moon hung high over the dark sea, and the gentle sounds of the sea—the whistling wind, lapping waves, and creaking ropes—drew the night in an eerie symphony.
A flock of crows landed on the high wall of a stone prison overlooking it all.
The grunting, moaning and creaking of the chains made the moonlit night even more eerie.
Two guards dragged a prisoner in through the stone staircase entrance of the tower, which was the obvious way into the prison.
As many unfortunate prisoners are about to learn, there are other ways to get out of prison.
A few more guards carried the six coffins and walked towards the side wall of the prison near the sea.
After a quick conviction, they pushed the coffins off the wall one by one, sending them plummeting into the ravenous sea below.
The coffins came to the surface, and the waves began to lift them up like a fleet of ghosts.
Two of the pine coffins submerged a little deeper than the other four and began sinking slowly into the black sea.
One of the crows flew down from the prison wall and landed on a coffin.
Tuk tuk, tuk tuk.
It began to knock on the coffin.
Tuk Tuk - Tuk Tuk.
The endless voice echoed in the hazy night.
At this moment, the person in the coffin chosen by the crow responded.
Tuk-tuk-tuk, suddenly a bullet fired from the coffin blasted the bird into a cloud of feathers.
An arm protruded from the hole it had just pierced!

Chapter 242 The taste of being moisturized by a woman!Mysterious "key"!
"Duk-duk-duk."
The endless voice echoed in the hazy night.
At this moment, the person in the coffin chosen by the crow responded.
Suddenly a bullet is fired from the coffin, blasting the bird into a ball of feathers.
"boom!"
An arm protruded through the hole just pierced, felt the latch of the coffin, and swung the lid open.
Captain Jack Sparrow, the most cunning pirate who had ever set foot on the high seas, emerged quickly, and looked about.
He was still dressed in the usual way, tattered clothes, knee high boots, and his signature - red flowered handkerchief.
His gold tooth glistened in the moonlight.
Jack didn't seem concerned at first about his situation, then his eyes widened and he began frantically searching the coffin.
After a moment of extreme panic, he finally found what he thought was missing—his hat!
After putting the hat firmly on his head at a beautiful angle, Jack relaxed again.
He saluted, crossed himself, and reached into the coffin again.
While tugging hard, he said, "I'm sorry, brother."
It wasn't until he snapped off the leg bones of his companion in the coffin that he grinned and said, "Need is the mother of all things."
Using this bone as an oar, he rowed to his ship in the moonlight—the "Black Pearl".
The ship was shrouded in darkness as she waited patiently for one of her captains in the calm sea.
Barbossa silently watched Jack's return from the deck of the Black Pearl.
