Meanwhile.

Beneath the endless sea of clouds.

"Here, 'Lion King'. It's your fish. Lichenda said happily.

Lichenda tossed the fish in her palm high. And the "lion king" on the table let out a pleasant cry, jumped up, and took the fish into his mouth.

"So I don't understand," Dimi looked distressed, "why...... Do you have to call a kitten 'Lion King'? ”

"Because that's the name it has been given to it by its owner," said the maiden cheerfully, holding up the black cat munching on fresh fish with relish, "and it is its owner's taste that you should question." And I think it's a good name. You love the name, don't you? The Lion King. ”

The lion king meowed, as if in agreement.

That's right...... This black cat is the pet cat of the great pirate "Octopus" Golding. I don't know if it was out of taste or for some strange reason, Golding gave the black cat the name "Lion King".

Of course, it's already strange for a big pirate to be keen on keeping cats......

"How about I change your name?" The girl smiled and looked at the lion king and tossed aside the fish bones that had been eaten and wiped, "Sbinero...... Yaki Orochi...... Nine lamas? ”

"What's that......" Dimi propped his forehead. During this dark time, the girl talked about a lot of cultures that seemed to be related to her home world.

"Meow!" The lion king is also super unhappy.

"Is it really still the 'Lion King'?" The girl gently put the lion king on the ground, "Good! ”

Lichenda also looked at it all with a smile. Suddenly, she looked thoughtfully out the window.

"Almost," she said, "it's time to go." ”

"Hmm." The girl and Dimi also nodded solemnly.

After all, there is only a moment of time to be busy.

Golding "Octopus" promised to take the three of them to Zwick Island, where they could connect with the Black Lord, as long as the three of them fought him three times.

It was the first time to get a treasure from the lord of the town of Balazhi.

Then a while ago, the three of them helped him with another task: secretly removing the head of another notorious pirate. The man was entrenched on a stretch of coast and forced three fishing villages to pay taxes for him. Now they all have to pay taxes to the "octopus", and at Dimi's strong suggestion, the "octopus" has reduced the conservation fee a little.

"Octopus" can only convince himself that he has great ambitions and now he must buy people as much as possible......

Maybe there are good seedlings among those fishermen who can absorb the pirate group.

……

The trio stepped into Octopus's makeshift base, a large ship that ran aground. The ship was not Octopus', and even the handwriting on its hull had long since faded, and now it had been temporarily corrected for the Octopus and his cadres to rest, while the minions were more likely to take refuge in nearby caves or pitch tents on the beach.

In fact, the girl and the others are still vigilant: they promised to help the "octopus" three times, and now it is the last time, maybe the cunning pirate will suddenly regret it and lead the three of them to the road of death.

In fact, the three of them misunderstood the "octopus" - the "octopus" was not sure that he would ambush the three of them without losing a large number of his subordinates, and the girl and the others were extremely cautious, eating and drinking either by themselves, or by strange "magic" to take it out, or waiting for everyone else to start eating and drinking before eating - "octopus" was also worried that if the three of them were really asked to perform some mortal mission, the three of them would come back safely and kill themselves at all costs.

……

Seeing the three of them enter, "Octopus" put down the brown shot glass in his hand.

"You're here!" He said angrily.

He waved his hand and motioned for a few minions in the room to come out. The men immediately withdrew.

"Doing well, huh?" "Octopus" Golding narrowed his eyes into a slit.

"You got another cat?" Lichenda stared at the big red cat on the table in front of Octopus.

"The 'Lion King' seems to enjoy being with you," Golding shook his head, "and I'll give it to you." ”

"And then you got a new one?"

"That's right. Say hello to them, 'Fire Dragon'. ”

The fat-headed red cat feasted on the table and didn't bother with Golding at all.

"Hey! Fire Dragon, look here! The girl said.

The red cat, named "Fire Dragon", threw the half-eaten fish bone on Golding's plate, and then swished into the girl's arms.

"That's good." Lichenda praised.

"Octopus" hesitated for two seconds, and finally gave up trying to compete with the girl and Lichenda for her cat affinity. This is definitely an unfair contest!

"Ahem......"

Ignoring the cat, Golding cleared his throat.

"I've already arranged the final task you have to do. Once that's done, you can take my ship to Zvik. ”

"It's a job that only happens to be for three people, huh?" Lichenda said with a smirk.

Golding shuddered. He knew how scary it was for this little girl to get angry......

"No, not this time." Golding said vaguely. He got up from the large dining chair and walked to the corner of the room, scrambling through the pile of clutter.

"Sometimes, more minions are in the way." Lichenda said.

"No," cried Golding, "this time I want you to move with my large army. ”

"Oh?" The girl was a little interested.

"I'll show my credibility once in a while," Golding pouted, tossing a rusty clawed helmet aside and picking up a crumpled map from the clutter, "I'm going to take the fleet on a trip to the Zwicks next month...... But until then, I'm going to stop by and visit another place. ”

He pointed to a place on the map with his calloused fingers: "Look, this is it." ”

"We don't know much about the geography of the sea......

“…… So you just have to tell us what to do. The girl finished.

Goldin shrugged: "Okay. As you did before, I need someone to clean up my peers here. ”

"But this time, you want us to be the spearhead in the attack." Lichenda said.

"Yes and no," Golding began to pace back and forth in the room, "the location of that island is a good springboard between Snail Island and Zwick Island. But the guy who occupies it now ......"

Golding shook his head.

“…… They used to be strong, but now they're too weak," Golding said, "and they don't deserve it." ”

"And you think you're the best person to get it." The girl said.

"That's right," Golding grinned, "the island is full of reefs and whirlpools, and the old captain of the gang has a good job of finding a way. And now, the old guy is dead, and I don't have to worry about his face. ”

"Do you know how to cross that ocean?"

"Their second mate is here with me right now. After the old guy died, civil strife broke out, and half of them were driven into the sea to feed the sharks. But someone still ran out......" Golding hummed a ditty.

"They must be anxious to lose a lot of manpower."

"That's right," Golding's eyes lit up, "they're recruiting new people everywhere right now." I'd also like to get more people in...... And if it's the three of you, three of you have the power of three hundred. Interested? ”

"It's done." The girl and Lichenda said in unison.

"We do." Dimi smiled wryly and nodded.
