Karl sighed weakly, the three-masted galleon under his feet had been cracked by the blow of the Arowana just now, and if it was attacked by artillery at this time......

They will surely sink to the bottom of the sea, and all of them will be buried in the belly of the fish.

......

Located in the middle of the world, the Central Sea is a paradise for countless pirates and explorers, and of course, in addition to pirate ships, there are many merchant ships here.

There are generally two routes for merchant ships traveling between different continents, one is to cross the Central Sea, and the other is to follow the coastal coastlines of the major empires, but sailing along the coastal coastline can take months or even half a year longer than crossing the Central Sea.

Although it is possible to encounter pirates in the near sea, the probability of encountering pirates in the central sea is much smaller than the chance of encountering pirates in the central sea, not to mention that pirates in the central sea generally have the strength of the pirate king of the small sea.

And for the big merchants who traveled between continents and engaged in cross-continental trade, time meant a lot of gold coins, enough to cross the Central Sea twice or more on a boat near the coast.

Keep in mind that the longer you spend on the oceans, the more gold you have to pay your sailors and guards.

And the extra sailing time for half a year also means that the merchant needs to prepare hundreds of people for half a year's consumable materials, and because of the long ocean voyage, the damage rate of the sailboat has also increased greatly, and the merchant needs to pay more maintenance costs for this.

Therefore, in general, powerful businessmen will choose to cross the central sea.

They will hire a large number of armed escort ships, so that the pirates of the Central Sea will not dare to provoke them easily, and some powerful merchants will even cooperate with the pirate kings of various seas in the Central Sea.

The most famous chambers of commerce, even with the legendary Pirate King, will give a portion of the profits from each trade to the Pirate King in the seas they pass through in exchange for a chance to pass safely, and of course, they will also prepare some extra gold coins to hand over to other pirate ships that they accidentally encounter.

Central Sea, Galo Sea.

It is one of the seven largest seas in the Central Sea, the back garden of the legendary pirate king Eric, the Red Devil, and a place that countless pirates have dreamed of conquering.

There are hundreds of small islands in the Galo Sea, most of which are dangerous islands with indigenous tribes, and among these hundreds of islands lies countless treasures waiting to be discovered.

Even if Eric, the Red Devil, became the pirate king here, dominating the Garo Sea for so many years, he has not been able to fully unearth the hidden secrets of these islands.

The Garo Sea is the sea area on the northwest edge of the Central Seven Seas, and some small seas around the Garo Sea are the sapphires of the Holy Roma Empire, so there are many merchant ships in the Garo Sea, most of them are from the Eastern Continent, and trade the spices, tea, silk and porcelain of the East to the Holy Roma Empire and the Flying Eagle Empire, which can earn a lot of gold coins.

The turquoise sea shimmered with golden light, and the warm sunlight shone on the sea, and from time to time one or two huge fish appeared on the surface of the sea, and then disappeared into the depths of the ocean in a flash.

A three-masted pirate ship with a pitch-black hull was sailing smoothly on the sea, and two crows stood on either side of the tall mast, quacking in boredom.

"Hey, you two goddamn fools, can you keep your mouth shut!"

Leaning against the railing, Charles took a sip of rum and shouted at the top of the mast, waking up a few pirates who were on the deck in a daze.

"Quack, quack!"

"Quack, quack!"

The two crows on the mast were unmoved, and jumped twice at the ends of the mast, and continued to quack, as if they were talking to each other.

"!"

Charles scolded secretly, squinted his eyes and raised his head, showing a helpless expression, and walked towards the cabin sullenly.

"Whoa~"

In the middle of the Black Fantasy, several pirates were fishing, and there were plenty of fresh fish in the oak barrels next to them, which seemed to be a good catch.

It has been more than a month since the Black Fantasy left the indigenous island of the headhunters, Andy has taken in Carl and dozens of pirates who survived, as for the rest, it has become food for the fish, the current location of the Black Fantasy is the southern part of the Galo Sea, and in a few days, it can reach the ghost sea.

And their destination is the headquarters of the Pirate Alliance, which is located in the middle of the Ghost Sea and the Devil's Sea, the world's largest pirate port Alliance Island, of course, it has another name, called Skull Island.

It was a huge island dedicated to pirates, a pirate empire on the ocean, and the entire area of Skull Island was even larger than the Holy Roma Empire.

Before entering the Garo Sea, Andy was still worried, after all, he stole the thirteen crystal balls of the Blood Axe Ryan, causing the Red Devil Eric's plan to be disrupted, and the Garo Sea was the Red Devil Eric's backyard.

Although Ryan doesn't know that he stole the crystal ball, there is a lot of incredible witchcraft and alchemy in this world, and no one knows if Eric has the means to know who stole the crystal ball in the first place.

However, after the Black Fantasy entered the Galo Sea, Andy knew that he was thinking too much, and even if Eric knew his identity, he didn't need to worry.

The Galo Sea is too big, and there are too many pirate ships, and besides, even a legendary pirate ship can't catch up with the Black Fantasy so easily.

After entering the Galo Sea, the Black Fantasy encounters an average of two or three pirate ships per day, of course, they only glance at each other from afar.

After all, most of the pirates who can appear here have some strength, unless there are some special circumstances, no one wants to clash, because it is difficult to guarantee that after defeating a pirate ship, another pirate ship will suddenly appear.

In the past month, the Black Fantasy has encountered a total of four merchant ships, two of which are surrounded by several three-masted armed frigates, and only the powerful pirate group can eat them, and the Black Fantasy has changed course far away.

And the other two ...... It was when Andy approached revealing the flag belonging to the Red Devil Pirates, and swaggered out of the place after transporting a box of gold coins to the Black Fantasy in a small boat.

It also gave Andy a better understanding of the Central Seas, where the pirates and more of their experiences were focused on finding legendary objects.

Gold coins are far less important to them, after all, a legendary object is enough to exchange for hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins.
