Ripple's father, named Zhao Zihe, was born in a famous family.

The Zhao family is one of the top ten famous families in the Dongye Kingdom, and has lived on the maritime trade for generations, and the family is prosperous, and there is still a large merchant fleet, and there are more than 50 Zhao wharves of all sizes, basically monopolizing the maritime trade of Mozhou.

Zhao Zihe is the only one in the clan, perhaps because the Zhao family has the factor of the ocean flowing in their bones, Zhao Zihe was born with excellent water nature and likes sailing. When he was young, he followed his father to the sea for many years to do business, and also learned a lot about navigation and trade, and made a wide range of friends. Of course, the first pot of gold was harvested very early.

At the age of twenty, he passed the test of his family and had his own merchant ship and team, which he named the majestic merchant ship the Chase of the Sun, and led the team across the ocean to the Red Sands Continent, preparing to open up a new trade territory of his own.

In the initial stage, Zhao Zihe was smooth sailing, relying on his rich experience and the courage to fight, he led the team to earn a lot of money and became a shining star in the family.

Later, for some reason, at the age of thirty-five, Zhao Zihe suddenly gave up his thriving career, and suddenly inexplicably began to hunt for treasures, pouring all his family wealth into it, just to find a legendary secret treasure called "Wanpis".

It is said that this secret treasure is the biggest fortune left by the once famous pirate king Lepp, which is the money left by the pirate king at his peak to cross the river in case he has an accident one day. Most of the gold, silver, and jewelry he had acquired were sealed in a secret treasure called "Vimpis", buried somewhere in the world.

It is said that the amount of this treasure is so staggering that it can easily buy ten countries.

All of the companions who followed Le P to bury the treasure were slaughtered and buried by him, and he became the only one who knew the location of the treasure.

Unfortunately, the pirate king Lepp was buried under a strange curse, and after returning to the fleet, the people in his fleet also became extremely murderous and crazy because of his curse, and Lepp himself became ambitious, expanding his territory without restraint, destroying the balance between the various forces of the pirates, and vainly trying to completely dominate the sea.

In the end, Loop died of his own ambition and was besieged by hundreds of pirate ships, and Loop was also killed at sea, the cursed people in the fleet were killed, and other vassal fleets were annexed one after another.

Since then, "Vopis" has become the most popular legend among all navigators and pirates, and almost every navigator fantasizes that one day he will accidentally find this secret treasure and become the richest man in the world.

This legend has been spread so widely that no one has ever been able to determine its authenticity, but it has been passed on by word of mouth. I don't know why, Ripple's father, Zhao Zihe, was so convinced of this legend that he gave up everything just to find this mysterious treasure.

It was precisely because of Zhao Zihe's stubbornness that his companions left him one after another, leaving only Uncle Ying and Zhao Zihe's wife.

Her wife supported her husband without hesitation, believing that he would find "Vampis" and would help him fulfill his wish no matter what.

In this way, the three of them began to search the vast sea for all clues about Vampis. Although when he first set sail, Zhao Zihe spent a lot of money to hire a group of experienced sailors, but because of the empty sitting, the wealth accumulated before was soon difficult to support, Zhao Zihe asked the family for help, although he got a part of the financial sponsorship, but it did not last long.

During this period, Ripple was also born, because on the day she was born, the wind and waves were calm, but there had been a circle of regular ripples around the boat, and Zhao Zihe simply named her Ripple.

When Ripple was ten years old, the Daily Rider was hit by a huge storm, and the Swift was almost overturned by the strong currents.

In the midst of the chaos, her mother lost her life trying to save the ripples that almost fell into the sea. Uncle Eagle also lost one of his legs in that storm.

After the day by day landed safely, Zhao Zihe's wife had died in the sea, and there were no bones left. The Sunrise was also battered by the storm, completely stranded and in tatters.

Zhao Zihe and Ripple were grief-stricken, and after going ashore, the crew at that time looted all the valuable things left on the ship, leaving only the stones.

Zhao Zihe was in a slump for the next period of time, and he also felt deeply guilty, feeling that if he didn't stubbornly go to find Wanpis, his beloved woman would not die because of this, and Uncle Ying would not have broken a leg.

Ripple also resented his father very much at that time and stopped saying a word to him.

Zhao Zihe worked all day long, anesthetizing himself by drinking the remaining wine in the cabin.

He looked at the broken and dilapidated Sun Chase all day long, as if 10,000 sharp knives had been inserted in his heart, he once had great ambitions, wanted to grow a pair of wings to chase the sun, but he did not expect that before he could catch up with the sun, his wings had been roasted, making him fall into the bottomless abyss.

One day, when Zhao Zihe stared at the sea again, he was immersed in the wine that seemed to be inexhaustible.

Uncle Eagle walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Let's go, brother. You don't belong on this land, and I don't want to lecture you about anything, but if you give up your dreams like this, your wife will die too worthless. You should know better than anyone else that you are not as good as me in fighting, not as good as a stone in navigation, not as smart as your wife, but we are all willing to follow you, do you know why? ”

Zhao Zihe rubbed his drunken eyes and said vaguely:

"Because of what? Because...... I'm from a famous family, because I have money, because I have a big ship......"

"Hmph......" Uncle Ying snorted coldly and scolded loudly:

"If that were the case, Lao Tzu would have been gone a long time ago. There are more famous and powerful navigators than you. Lao Tzu didn't leave, it's true that you have a big ship, but this big ship is not some fucking day-to-day number, it's the big ship in your heart! If it sinks, we can fix it, or make tens of thousands of it. The ship in your heart has sunk, and you'd better fucking get out of here and die now! ”

Shi Zi didn't know when he also walked over, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, you gave me a dream, and if you kill it, I'll kill you too."

Zhao Zihe looked at the broken Sunrise in the daylight, and seemed to be awakened by the words of Uncle Ying and Shizi at that moment.

Later, Zhao Zihe regained his strength, relying on his excellent business acumen and previous connections, he soon made a comeback, and this time expanded the scale of maritime trade again, and owned three merchant fleets and two docks himself.

Zhao Zihe once again became a well-known navigator in Mozhou, during this period, he did not give up the exploration of Wanpis, tried his best to find all the clues about Wanpis, and personally led the search many times.

Later, the Red Sand Continent held a grand sailing competition, which invited well-known navigators from all over the world to participate, and the third place was awarded 10 million gold coins, the second place was awarded 50 million gold coins, and the champion would receive a mysterious ultimate reward.

The ultimate reward is said to take the champion to a mysterious location related to a legendary navigator who tells the secret of his fall from the top to the bottom and the key to unlocking the world's greatest treasure!

After Zhao Zihe accepted the invitation, he naturally linked this secret with Vampis, and never wanted to give up such a God-given opportunity, so Zhao Zihe gladly accepted the invitation and participated in the competition.

However, to participate in this competition, a huge registration fee of 10 million yuan was required, and Zhao Zihe did not have so many available funds at that time, so he had to pledge all his assets to make up enough registration fees, leaving only a new day to carry his team to participate.

With his ability, he finally passed the test and won the crown.

But it was this laurel that made Zhao Zihe's mentality completely collapse, and he was so angry that he swore that he would never do business again, to be an unrestrained pirate, and to find the secret treasure left by the pirate king without hesitation!

And he's going to find the organizers of that contest and slaughter them all!

Hearing Ripple say this, Yu Changsheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he was also amazed by the legendary experience of this captain Zhao Zihe.

But when he saw that Ripple was no longer talking, he hesitated and asked:

"Uh...... Where was your father taken after he won the championship? Let him collapse like this, is he being deceived? ”

"No, that location is indeed related to a legendary navigator, and it also records the secret of this navigator's fall from the top to the bottom." Ripple smiled bitterly.

"Oh? Where is that? Yu Changsheng asked.

"The Stranding ...... of the Days-by-Day"
