Chapter Seventy-Five: In the Guest
The moon in the sky hung in the dark sky like a golden scimitar, illuminating the whole sea with gray. www.biquge.info A medium-sized destroyer broke through the low wind and waves, and slowly advanced along the boundary line of the uncharted sea behemoth sea, clinging to the inner line.
From time to time, the beams of the searchlight swept across the sea, illuminating a lonely island in the distance, and the half-collapsed lighthouse on the island could be faintly seen, and the lantern room at the top had long since decayed and disappeared.
Hundreds of yards in mid-air, a long-tailed bird flew by, hissing violently, flapping its wings, and quickly intersecting the destroyer's shadows.
"Ghost...... Phantom...... Where's the damn ghost?"
The pirate captain on the lookout raised his binoculars and followed the beam of the searchlight across the sea, searching for the ghost ship that could escape from the sea at any moment.
The captain's name is Basil Hawkins, and he belongs to the Behemoth Pirates, a pirate leader who is trusted by the pirate Kaido.
Different from ordinary pirates who generally have crooked melons and cracked dates, this pirate leader has a very prominent appearance and temperament.
He has flowing blonde hair, a slender figure, and his eyebrows are trimmed into vertical lines in black oil paint. The forehead has the signature six vertical lines, the left arm is armoured, and the Adam's apple is tattooed with a black crossββββ the shape is a mixture of New World natives and decadent gloomy streams.
The same goes for the clothes, purple trousers, high-top boots, and a black lace waistband with an open ruffled white top. Looks like a gorgeous dancer, better than a pirate leader.
The reason why Basil patrols the border in the middle of the night in this weather is because there have been traces of small ghost ships in the Behemoth Sea lately, which is not a good sign.
As we all know, the northeast corner of the Uncharted Sea is Bermuda, and the northeast of the Behemoth Sea and the Whitebeard Sea are both backed by Bermuda, but only the Whitebeard Sea is bordered by Ghost Island.
In other words, if the ghost ship wants to reach the Behemoth Sea, it has to pass through the Whitebeard Sea. However, it is obviously almost impossible to pass through the sea area of Whitebeard silently, avoiding the eyes and ears of the sea thief Whitebeard.
Putting aside the nonsense of Whitebeard's collusion with Ghost Island, there is only one plausible possibility left - the ghost ship has passed through the sea frontier of Bermuda's undersea remnants, arrived in the Behemoth Sea, and conducted a series of unknown investigations.
This news is like a barrel of high-energy explosives, which endangers everyone in the giant beast pirate group from the inside out, and the pirate Kaido is even more angry that he can't even care about committing suicide, and urgently summons his subordinates in the middle of the night to carry out a series of deliberations and deployments.
The pirate leaders couldn't sleep at night, and they made a decision on the spot to strengthen the patrol fleet several times, and it was important to find out the truth about the ghost ship haunting.
In their opinion, the ghost ship suddenly broke into the sea area of the giant beast, and the purpose was not simple.
Because all the forces in the uncharted sea have clear boundaries and territories, once a non-friendly force crosses the border, it will inevitably suffer a ruthless military attack.
According to the information they knew, although the remnants of the sea and the forces of Ghost Island were both foreign enemies, they were also competitors with each other. Although there has never been an armed confrontation, they are definitely not friends in any way.
The fact that the ghost ship was able to pass through Bermuda safely this time must have been tacitly approved by the remnants of the seabed, which was very terrifying in the eyes of the pirates - it means that the ghost island and the remnants of the sea may have reached some kind of alliance!
The alliance reached between the remnants of the sea and the ghost island is undoubtedly a force that subverts the pattern of the uncharted sea, and once such a major event happens, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the pirates.
While strengthening their vigilance, the Behemoth Pirates also poked this heavyweight news to the newly established Pirate Council, hoping that their allies could give substantial help.
......
"The truth must be thoroughly investigated, and the true purpose of the ghost fleet must be clarified!"
"There's no doubt it's a bad sign!"
"The remnants of the sea must have made a dirty deal with the forces of Ghost Island in private, and if we are careless, we will definitely suffer huge losses in the future. β
After the news of the Ghost Fleet passing through Bermuda unharmed and appearing in the Behemoth Sea reached the Pirate Council, all the pirate leaders present were almost in an uproar. The spirit that had been tense for a long time because of the sense of crisis broke all at once, and everyone entered a state of hoarseness.
When it comes to this, investigating the truth is one thing, and doing a good job of countermeasures is of course another. Investigating the truth is an action that all pirates are eager to pursue, and no one questions it, and how to counteract in the face of emergencies has become the focus of controversy in the pirate council.
"In order to prevent the coming war, we should support the Behemoth Pirates with all our might. β
"All members of the Pirate Council should be ready for war!"
"We should put aside our personal grudges and form a combined fleet of the Pirate Council, so that we can cope with any crisis!"
The pirate councillors who belong to different factions, although they know that the situation is critical, they still can't abandon their camp and position. There has been one debate after another about how to counteract for interests.
However, these debates are of little significance, because the backbone of the Pirate Council is the Four Pirates, and it is also the Four Pirates who dominate the entire Pirate Council.
So the person who has the real right to decide, of course, can only be the leader of the four pirates - the top four.
Except for them, no one can speak well, and it is useless to quarrel with the sky. In fact, the purpose of the establishment of the entire Pirate Council is to facilitate the division of the Uncharted Sea by the four pirate groups.
Regarding the countermeasures of this "Ghost Fleet Crisis", the attitude of the four is highly unanimous, and they believe that this is an important action to determine the majesty of the Pirate Council, and it is also an action to see if all members are united. Everyone should abandon their past prejudices, contribute their strength, and prepare for battle for the living space of the uncharted sea.
All in all, it is a sentence - full mobilization and absorption of small and medium-sized pirates to form a joint fleet is imminent.
Among them, the sea thief Blackbeard stood up and called on all parties to maintain "reason", "restraint", and "pertinence", and must not be frightened by an unconfirmed news, and should calmly wait for follow-up news. At the same time, for the sake of the stability and development of the uncharted area, this news should be treated coldly, blocked and covered up as much as possible, and only specific members need to know about it.
Whoever understands this kind of big truth can talk about it, but special people stand up and express their positions, and the weight of their words is different. Although the pirate councillors were still torn apart, they could only raise their hands to second, and finally sent the pirates off in applause.
It is estimated that no one thought that he, a reasonable person who has no interests in the giant beast pirates, is the conspirator and mastermind of all chaos.
The ghosts on the ghost ship were all slowly caught by Yalei from the ghost island one by one, and a broken ship was given to the ghost ship.
The traitor who helped them pass through Bermuda unhindered and enter the sea of giant beasts was of course the sea dragon, and after this man was subdued by the black-haired knight, he only had "golden power" and "void fluctuations" left in his heart.
In order to get them, the sea dragon can sell anything, and Julian, the emperor of the sea, has become a floating cloud in his eyes, and sooner or later it will pass away with the wind. (To be continued.) )
