The picture begins with an unknown shipyard.

The boat underfoot was custom-built by a musician, and it took years for the whole ship to be completed.

At this time, she was very beautiful.

The whole body is covered in gold with some other colors, like an elegant musical instrument, and it looks extremely elegant and gorgeous. The sails are white, without any color staining.

On the hull, Arka clearly saw the name of the ship.

"Musician".

This was followed by more than a decade of sailing, and even countless grand concerts were held on this ship, and the ship gradually became famous.

Until it was captured by a pirate.

The pirate reworked the "musician" and hung up the black sails.

Fortunately, the pirate and his band seem to be very interested in music.

It's just that it has changed from the former high music to rough sea singing.

It was renamed the "Song of the Deep".

After a long time, the pirates were apprehended and killed, and the ship once again fell into the hands of the navy of a certain power.

and sold it to an exploration group, in addition to replacing the sails, it also gave the ship a new name [Dream Chaser].

The rest didn't change anything.

The ship accompanied the exploration group step by step, and as it grew, they also engraved a spell on the ship, making it more powerful.

Gives the ship a strong physique.

At this time, the head of the exploration group was holding something like a harmonica.

This is the magic item that Arka uses to summon the ship.

At this time, the leader of the exploration group came to the end and got a treasure related to music.

This treasure is so consistent with the experience of this ship that the leader of the exploration group also feels that the ship has bestowed on him.

The spell ship was also rendered by the treasure and was about to become a real ghost ship as it sailed.

However, at this moment, the environment suddenly changed.

The news of the treasure leaked.

At this time, it seemed to be a very hazy environment, and nothing could be seen, except that something had attacked the exploration group.

The entire regiment was completely wiped out, and the harmonica that summoned the ships did not know where it had gone.

The ghost ship, which had just enlightened its wisdom but had not yet fully possessed its own consciousness, began to drift alone on the sea.

Until it was attacked by the Dark Ripples, the ship had already suffered a lot of damage and suffered even more damage.

Instinctively, the ship docked in a safe cavern until the harmonica sounded by Arka.

He doesn't have much sense of autonomy.

Just by instinct, he responded to the call of the harmonica.

Then the bubble dims until it disappears.

The ship's autonomy was so weak that the dream lasted only a short time, allowing her to tell Arka about her life.

Alka was once again enveloped in a rainbow-colored mist.

From the changes in the environment just now, Arka can tell that when the exploration group was destroyed, it was at least 400 years ago, and there was no time when there was no war.

Because at that time, it was not pitch black all around.

It was not until later that the ship sailed alone, and the exact duration of the voyage is unknown.

It wasn't until the darkness slammed into it and the ship was about to break and she couldn't hold on anymore that she found a safe place to stop.

And at that time, I blew the ship for the test, and I woke it up again.

After understanding the context of the situation, Arka resurfaced.

Once again, I saw the tattered ship that was almost completely destroyed.

There is a new and different feeling.

In the dream, I quickly witnessed her life, witnessed her from birth to growth to growth, and now she is on the verge of death.

Gently patted the mast.

"It's really embarrassing for you to go through so much and survive strongly."

"If you want, sail with me, and I'll find a way to restore you to your original state and become a better person, how about it?"

As Alka's voice fell, the boat's beeping sounded and weaved into a moving piece of music.

Having witnessed the ship's later performances, Arka could understand what she meant.

"Then it looks like you're agreeing."

A smile appeared on Arka's face.

With this soon-to-be-ghosted ship, once it's repaired, you'll be able to start enlightening it again with your treasures.

It won't be long before it turns into a real ghost ship.

It saves a lot of time compared to re-enlightenment on your own.

That's pretty good already.

"So is this really a ghost ship?"

Xia Daiti and several people gathered around, looked at Arka with wide eyes and asked.

This is a legendary ship, and it is known from Lucilia.

Until then, none of them knew of the existence of such autonomous vessels.

Arka nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Yes, but not exactly." Her previous owner, a man with a treasure, enlightened the ship, but was about to succeed in enlightening it into a ghost ship, when her master died, so it became what it is now. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Then he's ...... now," Jason asked.

Hearing Jason's words, Arka patted the mainmast and said to Jason with a smile: "You have to call her, she is a girl, be careful that she pulls you with a rope again." ”

"Alright, alright, her."

After all, it is men who operate at sea all the year round, so they naturally treat these ships as daughters, and they are always called girls.

When it enlightens and has wisdom, it naturally becomes her.

"She's willing to follow me now, but she'll have to fix her up when she gets out, not as tattered as she is now."

"But we're going to ...... now," Xia Daiti reminded him.

"Oh yes."

Overjoyed to forget about this stubble, Arka patted his head.

Said into the air on the ship.

"We're going to do a very dangerous thing now, we will call you again after you find a place to hide for half a month, how about you come to us again?"

There was a moving tone from the ship, but the unhappy voice could be heard in the tone.

She seemed reluctant.

"Don't worry, it only takes half a month."

Then he said in an accentuated tone: "I promise." ”

The tone of the music was a little muffled, but it eventually came back up.

"Let's put it that way."

After saying that, several people jumped off the ship and returned to the deck of their own ship.

The music gradually began to play, with a faint sadness.

Several people on the boat waved.

Watch the musical ship disappear into the night.

"It's amazing that there will be a boat that is self-conscious." Jason couldn't help but say.

Lucilia was on Shadetti's shoulder, and her voice was full of excitement: "In other words, we will have a ghost ship in the future?" A real ghost ship! Haha, that's great! ”

"If only we survive this time."

Julia stood beside her, looking at the ship sailing into the darkness, and said lightly.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

……

Time flies by.

Arka emerges from the world of dreams once again.

He had just flown up to the two overlapping bubbles and stole a look inside.

Inside, his father was still repeating the act of beating Jack until the bubble broke.

And his father's bubble has indeed stayed in the space of dreams, and it rarely breaks.

The bursting of his father's bubble should be snatching control of his body, and he will succeed from time to time.

But the time for the bubble to burst is very small and short.

Basically, it doesn't take long for you to be kicked back and reappear in the dream bubble.

As for whether the snatch was successful, you only need to look at your father's performance after the bubble reappeared.

Swearing loudly is snatching failure, and swearing gloating is snatching success.

It also made Arka sure that there was nothing wrong with all this.

He still didn't trust his father very much, and he didn't confirm it until he had observed it for a long time.

After all, all his emotions for him come from memories, and he has no personal feelings.

The body sitting in the room opened its eyes.

Arka straightened his clothes and pushed open the door to enter the captain's room.

After thinking about it, he took out two stacks of cards from the ring that had already been placed.

Walked out of the captain's room.

At this time, everyone on the deck was communicating with each other and making final preparations.

They were already sailing to El Koh and had not much distance left, a day at most.

The day of the meeting is close at hand.

It has been confirmed from the intelligence of the Church.

All the remaining ships and crews of the Dead Pirates gathered around Elcott Island.

And the church is ready to cooperate with them.

It is necessary to annihilate this group of pirates and teach them a bloody lesson.

The Prayer for the Dead Pirates must have sensed that the church had surrounded them, but they still resolutely stayed on Elcott Island, waiting for Arka's arrival.

Sievers values Arka more than anyone could have imagined.

But only Arka knows why.

Alka, who came out, handed the two stacks of cards in his hand to Shadetti and Jason.

"I'll use it, I'll leave it to you."

Hearing Alka's words, the two took over the stack of cards in their hands.

There are all kinds of functional cards and three-color cards, which will definitely be of great help in battle.

Especially for Jason, who only has a spiral of strength.

After thinking about it, Arka said, "Jason, fight for a while, and you must follow the church." ”

Hearing this, Jason nodded silently.

Because Arka was about to enter the interior and face the leader of the Prayer for the Dead Pirate Regiment, he followed him in a spiral, and it was too dangerous.

It is safer and more reasonable to follow the Church and kill pirates on the perimeter.

He didn't refuse, because that's what strength is.

The gap is stretched too wide.

As for these two stacks of cards, they must have come out of Arkado.

At this time, there was no treasure in Arka's ring, and he took it all out and threw it into the cabin.

It's full of battles or items that can help in battle.

The most is naturally a variety of cards, and this more than a month of preparation has allowed him to throw the cards from the beginning to the end, and he may not be able to finish it.

These materials were also purchased from the church.

The crowd mingled quietly on the deck, waiting for the ship to reach Alcot Island.

……

El Kot.

Pray for the Dead Pirates, temporary camp.

A flagship and three galleons were stationed around, as well as a number of pirate speedboats.

Thousands of pirates gathered on these ships.

In addition to them, there are several pirate ships on the periphery, but as you can tell from the flags, they don't seem to belong to a team.

It's become a pirate's lair.

All the ordinary pirates were binge, waving bottles and cutlass in their hands, singing and dancing in the dark.

As if trying to dispel the darkness.

There is not the slightest seriousness with which the battle is about to begin.

Some of the pirates suddenly fell to the ground in such a situation, trembling all over.

The other pirates laughed when they saw him, and threw him off the ship and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Only those who were in the Prayer for the Dead Pirates were grim-faced and silent.

Two touchers of the Dead Pirates, standing on the bow of a pirate ship.

Silent, not knowing what was waiting for, looking at the darkness ahead.

"A slave who wields power is still just a slave."

Hearing the sudden words of his companion beside him, the pirate next to him glanced at him: "It's better than being a slave without strength." ”

"That's right, blessed by Our Lady."

"Bless a fart, even if Our Lady wants to beat you."

However, the companion next to him ignored it, still praying with his hands crossed.

He shook his head helplessly, and suddenly asked, "Then do you regret it?" Regret coming here to be such a pirate. ”

The pirate, who had put his hands down, shook his head instead.

"Don't regret it, at least you have the power, don't you? It's like a slave, but what's the difference on the outside?

It's just that the way of being enslaved is different. ”

"It's a very philosophical sentence, if you die, I will engrave this sentence on your tombstone as your epitaph."

"Haha, what about you? What words do you want me to engrave on your tombstone? ”

"I don't believe in Our Lady, just throw me into the sea."

"Well, hopefully I have a chance to throw you into the ocean."

"I also wish I had a chance to engrave an epitaph for you."

The communication between the two standing at the bow of the ship did not affect Jack on the flagship in the slightest.

"Captain, will he come?"

The old man who had been following Jack suddenly asked.

"Yes, I can already feel it, he's coming towards us."

"Are you ready? I don't want to be disturbed by the church. ”

Hearing this, the old man next to him nodded and said, "Don't worry, captain, I'm ready, and I'll definitely be able to buy you enough time." ”

"That's good, you can only catch the fish you want if you have enough bait.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought that the pirate group I had been so careful about so many years was about to come to an end. ”

Speaking of which, Jack really had an elegant smile on his face.

He didn't take his pirates who worked for him seriously.

"You've got something more valuable, and it's worth it to catch more bait under the target."

"But...... The other you, won't snatch your body? The old man cautiously reminded him beside him.

If the body is robbed at a critical moment, won't everything before be in vain?

Hearing this, Jack's face once again showed a faint smile, and he tugged at the white gloves he was wearing on both hands.

"Don't worry, I'll give him a chance before the fight, and then he won't want to bother me anymore."

In the dream, Seapheus quietly watched Jack's performance outside.

"I wish you could still laugh a little bit."

At this time, he was no longer as angry as usual, but calm.

……

Little by little, time passed.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Jack felt the source of the blood getting closer and closer, and the smile on his face became more and more uncontrollable.

Until at the end of the field of vision, I saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Arka is coming.

The moment the point of light appeared, Jack's face immediately changed.

Obviously, the face is still the same face, but the temperament of the whole person has changed drastically.

So much so that it can feel like a different person.

Syphus took over the body temporarily.

"And deliberately let me out, you're such a bastard."

He said to himself, and then looked at the old man next to him: "Let that big-headed shark, I mean that hammerhead shark man go and greet it!" Remember, let him go alone. ”

Although the old man knew that the person in control of the body was no longer the previous captain, he still nodded and sent the order down.

The hammerhead shark man who received the order, with a dead face, isn't this just letting himself die?

I didn't expect that it would suddenly be my turn to be unlucky.

The other pirates around him who heard this order looked at him with pity.

Although he knew that he was facing death ahead, he still jumped into the sea.

Swim fast towards the approaching ship.

If you don't go, you will die, and if you go, you may survive.

How to choose him is naturally very clear.

Then Sieverus shouted at the pirates behind him, "What about Andre? It's the head of the treasure hunt group who grabbed it, and pressed it on me. ”

"Yes!"

The pirates behind him hurriedly acted, and after a while, Andre, who was bound by chains, was pressed up by several toucher pirates.

At this time, Andrei's right arm had been completely severed, and his body and cheeks were covered with scars, but these wounds had long since healed.

Looking at the way he looks now, at least it's not bad, it's not life-threatening.

When Andre was pressed in front of Seaphethus, Andre looked at him quietly: "Thinking about killing me?" ”

Ignoring him, Siphus continued to the pirates behind him, "Gather the ships together for me, flank them to the enemy, and put away the cannons for me." ”

"Huh?"

"Ah what? If you want to live, do as I say. ”

"Yes, yes." The pirate hurriedly gave Sipheus's order.

But his mind is already confused, and if he gets together and puts away the cannon, isn't that just being beaten?
