Pirates are always hiding in the reef-strewn seas, a dark zone where no nation can interfere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info has a bad rum, a deceitful and lingering smell of gunpowder.

However, when disaster struck, this isolated society was quickly surrounded by a sea of blood and attacked by countless sea beasts. The pirates cowered on the island, isolated.

One of the pirate captains, Katrina, has made a seemingly crazy decision to set sail and return to the mainland. No one knew when the sea of blood would subside, and with limited fresh water and food on the island, Katrina decided to give it a go.

With the magic circle on the Mystic Light, she sailed day and night, leading her men to fight the sea beasts, and finally came to the port of the Republic of Isa.

However, that was the limit, and at some distance from the port, her ship became entangled in a sea monster and could no longer move. No one would want to save a ship on the Sea of Blood these days, and she knew that very well, so she could only look at the land not far away. Because of this, when the Republic of Isha sent troops to meet them, Katrina was speechless in surprise.

Rowan and Alec took her to the palace. The girl lied slickly, saying that she was a merchant selling fruit and rum, and that there was no shortage of oranges and rum on pirate ships. However, for some reason, she had a feeling that these people had saved her with a clear purpose.

Especially when she was brought into a small study by them, the feeling was even stronger.

"So...... If you do the math, we've not seen you for six years, Katrina. ”

After a while, the door to the room was pushed open, and a young girl she thought she would never see again, walked in.

"Li...... Lily ...... Leah, why are you here?"

Katrina looked at the familiar girl in front of her and stammered. The reason why she didn't choose Randall, who was closer to the route, was to avoid the girl. You know, her love boat was stolen from Leah.

"I'm sorry, Katrina, if you were a little more well-informed, you'd know I'm in the Republic of Isa, not Randall. ”

Leah looked at Katrina, the girl hadn't changed much from six years ago, her long aqua blue hair was tied up with two pigtails, and she still looked like a naughty girl. This is good, the human lifespan on the continent of Evette is related to strength, and Catrina has not grown significantly, indicating that her force has not fallen.

"Wait, the Republic of Isa, isn't this the Duchy of Federo?"

Katrina said in surprise.

"We just cleared this place not long ago. If you're trying to smuggle slaves, all I can say is that it's a pity. ”

Leah smiled slyly.

"That...... No kidding, Leah. You see, since I was separated from you, I've been a pirate, and now I'm a merchant captain transporting fruit and rum, and I'm not interested in slaves or anything. ”

Katrina tried her best to make a painful face, trying to win Leah's favor.

"Don't lie to me, Katrina. How many days has the Blood Sea phenomenon been happening. There have been no merchant ships in this sea area for a long time, not to mention, as a merchant ship, the armament of the Mystic Light can already be regarded as a warship. That's right, it's the Mystic Light, and I can recognize her even if you repaint it, and the magic circle on it was all drawn by my father, so I couldn't be mistaken. ”

Leah shook her head.

"Woo woo woo ......"

For a moment, Katrina's face turned very unsightly.

"Well, what the hell are you trying to do, taunt me before you hang me?"

Knowing that she couldn't hide it, Caterina said depressedly. Although there are only two people here, she and Leah don't plan to do it at all, and she knows the magic of little Lori very well.

"I'll get straight to the point, Katrina. I want you to be my captain, and in exchange for writing off all your previous work for us. I can give you the Mystic Light, and if you wish, I can arrange for you a decent job, a regular captain's position. ”

Leah said solemnly. Even though Katrina is a pirate, if she can help her get to Orona's seal, her exploits will be more than offset her previous failures.

"Sounds great, but where do you want me going?"

Katrina didn't say yes directly, but asked cautiously. The conditions offered by little Lori are too superior, so superior that they make her feel uneasy.

"Here. ”

Leah said, pointing to a spot on the map.

"Oh my God...... No kidding, Leah. Are you going to send me to death?"

Katrina frowned, she thought Leah must be crazy. Because it is the depths of the ocean, a place where humans would never set foot foot.

"I'm not kidding, Katrina. You should know that just because you stole the Mystic Light, I let you die without having to go through that trouble. ”

Leah made a hanged gesture.

"I'll tell you that there isn't a ship ten times better than my own, and you'd better hang me, it's better than feeding the sea beasts. ”

Katrina shook her head, it wasn't that she didn't want to help Leah, for her, who had grown up drinking rum-mixed milk since she was born, and had lived on a pirate ship since she was a child, and there were more decks than roads, Leah's plan was no different from sending her to death.

"Ten times? That's easy. I've got a twenty, nay, thirty times better ship waiting for you, Katrina. ”

However, little Lori smiled slyly.

"What...... What?"

For a moment, Katrina thought she had misheard.

"Listen, Katrina. We have the best ships, we have the best warriors, and the only thing missing is a captain like you who can sail in the sea of blood. You can't say no, and I won't allow you to. We're going there to address what's going on here, and it's not something you can stay out of here.

Come to think of it, although you are a pirate now, if you can't clear this sea of blood, I can only suggest that you simply change your career and become a bandit in the future. ”

Leah said solemnly.

"I understand...... I understand ......"

Katrina is not stupid, she has spent her previous life at sea, and now, sailing has become a luxury.

"Take me to see the ship, Leah. After that, I'll give you an answer. ”

She sighed. If Leah's purpose is to solve the sea of blood, it is indeed something that she cannot escape from living at sea all her life.

"Deal, you're going to love that ship, I promise. ”

Leah smiled and blinked, and led Katrina to their new ship, the God-made Ark that everyone had collectively named Belle. (To be continued.) )
