Pitch black sea.

A faint light moved slowly in this dark environment, and looked closer.

It was an ordinary three-masted galleon sailing on the sea.

The black sails raised and the flag on them told others that it was a pirate ship.

A number of scruffily dressed pirates were climbing up and down the cables, manipulating the canvas.

At this point, if the pirates on the ship have dark vision, they can see strange currents in the sea not far below the ship.

The fins and half of a shark's back floated on the surface of the sea, quickly swimming towards the pirate ship.

Arka sat on the back of the fish, watching the pirate ships not far away in the darkness.

This is yet another pirate ship for the dead.

This time it was not an accidental encounter, but Arka deliberately stayed in a certain area, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet discovered them, this time Arka took the lead.

Polo carried Arka under the pirate ship, and Arka got straight to the edge of the ship.

The Dream Catcher crystal ball was around his waist, and a pink mist poured out of his control, enveloping him entirely.

Reality and dreams swapped, and Arka's form disappeared into the darkness.

Arka then silently climbed upwards and climbed straight over the deck.

Leaning on the edge of the ship, watching the pirates move around the ship, doing their own thing.

The noise around and the inevitable stench of the ship.

Luckily, it was just an ordinary pirate ship, and the lighting stones on the ship were scattered all over the place, causing the whole ship to look slightly dim.

Only a few important places can clearly see the surrounding environment, and other places can only be carefully distinguished by these faint lights.

Arka began to wander around the pirate ship as if no one was around, observing the structure of the entire ship and the placement of some items.

Later, he also looked at the pirates in different costumes, seemingly looking for a target.

However, the pirates on board turned a blind eye to Arka swaggering around their ship, even as Arka walked in front of them.

The disappearance of the figure, combined with the darker light around it, simply creates a perfect environment for Alka.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a heavy object fell from the sky and slammed into the deck, even smashing a piece of wood on the deck.

Arka looked back and saw a figure lying on the deck wailing, but his eyes were closed and his whole body was twitching.

In Arka's eyes, the pirate had already piled up countless dark elements around him, as if he had been clothed in a black coat.

This is already completely penetrated by the dark element, and there is almost no need for rescue.

An ordinary person, I don't know how long I have been in this central area.

It was invaded to such an extent that it would have been more than two months long.

Many pirates around him surrounded him, looking at the pirates who were constantly twitching, helpless.

"Go away, go away, what's so nice about this?"

A pirate with an ordinary appearance, but clearly dressed better than these ordinary pirates, walked up.

Dispersed the surrounding pirates, and watched as the pirates smashed on the deck and twitched.

He shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Alas, good brother, I can't help it," he said, squatting down and a dagger appeared in his hand, gently covering the mouth of the twitching pirate, and then slashed and pulled.

The dagger had a reddish glow, and with such a slight pull, a slender wound appeared on the pirate's neck.

But the blood did not come out, and he died quietly.

The speed of death is fast, it should be the spell effect on that dagger.

The pirate put the dagger away and looked at his dead companion.

Another pirate approached, dressed as the same toucher.

Squatting down and stretching out his fingers, he touched the neck of his dead companion lightly, and the wound that had been cut was restored.

But that's all there is to it, just to make the pirate's death look a little better.

Kill his pirate toucher with his own hands, pick up the corpse, go to the edge of the ship, and throw it directly into the water.

With a thud falling into the water.

He was no longer visible.

"Alas......"

Shaking his head helplessly, he turned his head to see that many pirates around him were staring at him.

"Whatever you see, get out of the way.

Also, someone will repair this deck. The replaced wooden board was engraved with the name and thrown away. ”

With that, he walked away.

"We should probably leave......," said one of the pirates, who was going down to get deck tools.

The pirate who was traveling next to him glanced at him: "You don't want to be like them, who wields magical powers?" ”

"But...... If you stay like this, you'll die. ”

"We're pirates, and we're going to die outside, it's just a matter of time."

“……”

His companion fell silent.

Most of the pirates on board were more numb to the death of the pirate just now.

This has been the norm for a long time now.

Every day, there would be one or two insatiable madness, and the murmurs and songs in the dark became the fodder for their nightmares.

Arka watched the scene, and a red card appeared in his hand, which he threw under the main mast.

When he was wandering around the boat, he had already lost several of them.

The worst thing about the Unreal Body is that it can't use the Pocket Ring, as the Pocket Ring is brought into a dream by Arka's real body.

So when switching bodies, Arka will leave something for the illusory body to use for attacks and operations.

Fortunately, there is no difference other than that, you can still use magic and spells.

After dropping the card, he followed the pirate who had just killed his companion to the captain's room.

As soon as I entered, I saw that there were three people in the captain's room, and the interior was dimly lit, and it was almost impossible to illuminate the faces of these people.

"Another one died?" A figure asked.

"Hmm."

"When is this TM going to be big, I've heard it 5 times, and I'm going crazy."

A tall figure roared and slammed his fist into the wooden table in front of him, directly smashing a gap.

From his position, it can be seen that there are many gaps, and this table is not rotten, which is really not easy.

"We're just slaves, do we want to rebel against our masters?"

A calm voice came, silencing everyone.

Then the people sat quietly in their seats, without saying a word.

Arka looked at the men, and it seemed that this was the toucher on the ship, plus the one he had just met outside to repair his wounds.

This means that there are a total of 4 touchers on this ship.

As for how many spirals there are, he doesn't know.

But he didn't care.

Came to the figure who had been ramming the wooden table in a rage.

The pink mist slowly spread down his arm and up the man's back, and because the lights were dim, no one noticed anything wrong.

It wasn't until the figure saw the pink mist around his neck that he was strangely wrapped in before he could check it.

Sit back in place, close your eyes and fall asleep.

When the pink mist completely envelops a person, the mist also disappears.

The sound of slow breathing was heard.

"He's asleep?" The companion next to him was a little strange, he was angry just now, why did he snore.

"Perhaps, the murmur of the night has exhausted him."

The other explained.

Well explained, and you're coming soon.

The pink mist turned into two pieces of smoke that spread from under Alka's feet, following the figures of the other two people.

"What ...... East"

One of them was keenly aware of the pink mist, but by the time he did, it had already covered his neck.

Before he finished speaking, he fell into a deep sleep.

The other noticed nothing, and went away from sleep.

"I configured some ......"

One of them slammed open the door to the captain's quarters, and as he spoke, he saw the three of them sleeping as soon as he entered.

"What's going on? Sleep ...... everything."

Before he could finish his sentence, he fell directly to the ground.

Arka stretched out his leg and hooked his foot to close the door to the captain's cabin.

I wanted to go out to find him, but I didn't expect to come in.

Then he sat on the free seat next to him and watched the sleeping four people wait.

Until a sound wave came, which was Bororo's sound wave, which was used as a reminder.

Hearing this, Arka sat down in his seat and snapped his fingers.

"Bang!"

A violent explosion sounded outside, and the flames rushed into the sky, and the pillars of fire rushed out from several corners, igniting the flammable materials on the ship in an instant.

The canvas mast transforms into a tall pillar of fire, illuminating the darkness around it.

"Ahhh

"What's going on, what's wrong?"

"Where's the captain? Captain, where did they go. ”

"In the captain's room."

“……”

With the sudden burst of flames, the entire pirate ship was filled with the sound of running and screaming in terror.

Arka stood up and knocked the sleeping four unconscious people one by one.

Waiting for a moment to move them will definitely wake them up, and it will be easier to knock them out.

Stretched out his right hand, and with the blue light flashing, four thick water chains sprayed out, tying up the four people who had fainted.

With the noise outside, the door to the captain's cabin was opened.

A metal card appeared in Alka's hand, and with a flick, it flew out in a strange arc.

The sharp metal card instantly slashed the neck of the pirate who opened the door, and blood gushed out.

Undiminished, he flew out.

Alka dragged four water chains and walked directly towards the open gate.

Six or seven of the pirates outside had fallen, all wounds from scratches on their necks.

Arka raised his left hand and caught the card that flew back.

The spring water gushed in his hand, washing away the blood on his hand and the remaining blood on the edge of the metal card.

A thin shield of water was wrapped around the body

Keep out the blood gushing out and the flames around it.

The whole ship was in chaos.

Some pirates were putting out the fire, others had jumped off their ships in a panic.

Killing all the pirates who were scrambled around, Arka jumped off the ship with 4 unconscious touchers in tow.

Below, the Swift was already parked there, and Shadetti and Bororo were already waiting for him on board.

As Arka landed on the ship, the four pirates he dragged were also smashed into the water.

Alka dragged the water chain and dragged it onto the boat.

"These are the touchers on this pirate ship?"

Hearing Xia Daiti's question, Arka nodded.

The Swift then sped away into the darkness.

The pirate ship behind it exploded again, and the pillar of fire appeared again, setting the entire ship on fire.

It became a bright light in the dark sea.

It took only a few moments for the Swift to bring them to their ship.

With the help of the fallen cable, the Feiyan was tied up and pulled up.

Then they tied the four touchers firmly and tied them to the mast.

The pink mist once again shrouded the unconscious four.

"I went into their dreams and asked for information."

As he spoke, Arka sank into a dream.

As for asking for information in reality, it is basically impossible, as long as these touchers dare to say some important information, they will die on the spot.

That's why Arka tied up the touchers to the ship to see if they could ask for some useful information in their dreams.

You can't say something important in your dreams and you'll die, that's a bit too outrageous.

And Arka has some experiments, I want to try it on these pirates.

As he sank into his dream, Arka immediately noticed four floating bubbles around his dream.

Find a random one and get in.

As soon as you enter, you will see the sea is extremely wide, and countless ships are sailing on the sea.

And the owner of the dream was standing on the bow of the flagship, dressed in exaggerated captain's costume, with his hands on his hips and looking into the distance.

Arka went directly to the side of the flagship and sat on the edge of the ship.

"How does it feel to be a captain?"

"Good, very good."

"This ship is so beautiful, is it yours?"

“…… No. ”

This flagship Arka had seen the same one his father was on.

Gradually, after chatting a bit, Arka began to run to the topic.

"Is Andrei on this flagship?"

"Yes, lock him up."

Hearing this, the smile on Alka's face finally confirmed Andrei's accurate information.

"How's it going? There is no danger to life. ”

Hearing this, the pirate was silent for a while, but replied, "It should be okay, the captain will let us treat him well for a while, and let us interrogate him for a while." ”

"But the captain said that you should go to Elcott Island on the day of the harvest, or else you will kill him."

Hearing this, Arka frowned.

The good news came along with the bad news.

Harvest Day is the feast of Our Lady, and on this part of the sea, it can almost be equated with the New Year.

It's a feast of thanks to Our Lady for protection, but Arka doesn't know exactly how long it will be.

They had been in the Dark Realm for more than half a year, and they had long since lost the concept of time.

After thinking about it, he asked directly: "How long is it until the harvest day?" ”

"There's only a month and a half left, and there's still a month and a half, no, I have to find you."

With that, Arka was pushed straight out of the bubble.

The bubble shattered and disappeared in front of him, indicating that the owner of the dream had woken up.

This sudden change made Arka a little confused.

Can you still wake up like this?

In a dream, he reminded him of something important, causing him to wake up suddenly.

It should feel like thinking that you are resting today and want to sleep a little longer, and then suddenly you remember to go to work and wake up suddenly.

Although somewhat suddenly.

But I got some information about dreams.

Arka floated his body to reality and saw one of the pirates wake up.

However, it has been controlled by Xia Daiti and them, and Arka has sunk back into his dreams.

He hadn't finished his question yet, and he had to take the opportunity to get the most out of his hands on the Prayer for the Dead.

Once again, enter the dream of one of the pirates.

However, the pirate's dream is a warm farmland.

He had been working on the farmland, and he didn't even want to answer Arka unless he asked him questions about farming and plants.

The man's dreams did not meet the requirements of the inquiry.

Arka switched dreams once more.

This time the dream became an island, and a pirate sat quietly in the middle of the island, staring blankly at the sky.

Arka walked over and sat down.

I asked two casual questions, and found that he was answering whatever he asked.

It's like a talking tree.

……

Wait, this person doesn't really think he's a talking tree, does he?

"What do you think of Sypheus?"

"He's a real madman, he's furious and graceful at the same time."

"Crazy man......"

Arka recalled, then changed the question.

"Do you know what the treasure he has in his hands?"

"It's a flag, the length of an arm, with the emblem of the Dead Pirates."

"And what is the power of this treasure?"

Arka's tone became excited, as long as he mastered the ability of the treasure, it would be much easier to deal with.

I'm afraid of the unknown.

"I don't know, he never showed, except to elevate us to touchers."

Hearing this answer, Arka couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

I regained my spirit and began to ask questions again, such a good opportunity, of course, I had to finish all the questions.

"And what about his strength?"

"It's very powerful, I've never seen anyone stronger than him, and he usually attacks with the cards and canes he throws out."

"The cards thrown out have a variety of abilities, and each one is very powerful."

“……”

The words silenced Arka, and he frowned.

What do you mean?

His father mastered Jack's means of combat? In other words, it is very likely that Jack also put the inherited things in the normal treasure.

Then it was mastered by his father.

Or is it ...... There are other possibilities.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month!
