Chapter 372: Fortune or Misfortune - Hint or Warning?!
"Commodore Norrington, my effects please," Jack Sparrow shouted. "And my hat."
Norrington had to accede, and he handed the said items to Elizabeth, who put them all on Jack as he slyly grinned at the marines.
"Gentleman, my lady," Jack declared, pointing the pistol at Elizabeth's head, "you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow."
And then he threw Elizabeth at Norrington.
He grabbed the nearby rope, kicked the mechanism, and flew up.
At the same time, the cannon, hung by the rope's other end, came falling toward the wooden platform.
Coincidentally, and diverging from the plot line, the rope swayed a bit, making the cannon fall just ahead of Murtogg, who was backing up.
With a bang, Murtogg went down into the seawater below the wooden platform along with other marines.
Though unexpected, Kai used the ensuing chaos and slipped away underwater.
Even Moraine hadn't expected such a thing to happen.
She was about to rush toward the broken platform when Jack Sparrow carried out a miraculous escape, and Norrington ordered the other marines to chase him.
