"Normally, when I go to sea, I take only two-thirds of my sailors with me, leaving a third, and who comes out with them to earn extra allowances depends on their usual performance.

"Even if the Blue Avengers don't need sailors, they'll do their best to clean up the ship and go to bed on time instead of singing at midnight and playing cards all night. There would even be sailors who would come ashore and invite me to the 'Red Theatre' or something like that. ”

Alger whispered, leaning against the railing of the bow of the ship, looking at the water that had been split by the sharp bow and rushing through the sides.

"Have you gone?"

Crane asked casually as he looked at the empty deck with an expressionless face.

The night before, Angel aroused his lust with "pleasure" with inexplicable emotions, and even provoked him every day when he studied Gufsak and Quaternary history, and slept in separate rooms every night under the pretext of worrying about the peeps of the "ghost ship", so that he was not interested in everything until now.

"I ......" I didn't expect that the other party cared about this, and Alger almost couldn't hold back his expression, "...... I have to mingle with my subordinates, and if I am too cold, they will think that I am not social, and I will secretly report it to the church. ”

"That's it."

"Yes......"

Alger subconsciously looked away and replied, immediately remembering that neither his status as a pirate nor the identity of a cultist of the storm needed to be ashamed of going to that kind of place, and turned his face again.

"Did you call me up just to confess this?"

A slight grin crossed his lips as Klein asked.

What do I think, why would I be chatting with him on the deck with the sea breeze...... Alger almost wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking of the other party's possible expression next, a smile appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice to a minimum, and said:

"Of course not, I'd like to talk to you about the deal at the Tarot meeting in the future, Mr. 'World'."

He managed to see a hint of emotion on Klein's face, although the latter's face remained unchanged under the ability of the "Faceling", the surprise, confusion and even a trace of killing intent in his eyes could not be hidden, and the black glove in his left hand gave out an aura that made Alger tremble a little, as if it was a wolf that had been starving for a week, staring at him with shining eyes.

"Why?"

Knowing the moment he was exposed, Klein did flash various plans in his mind, including killing people and killing people, but he quickly reacted that this was a performance that played the "crazy adventurer" Gelman too deeply into the play, and he had been unconsciously affected by the deliberate ruthlessness and crazy personality.

"It's a bit similar to the loss of control caused by my own identity when I first arrived at sea, but fortunately I found it early, otherwise Angel might not be able to call me back if I had a tendency to lose control...... Playing the same identity for a long time is easy to cause confusion, and you must pay attention to this in the future! ”

He put these experiences into the rules of the "Faceling", his expression and eyes returned to calmness, and the dangerous aura of "wriggling hunger" gradually disappeared.

"Your glove is 'Wriggling Hunger', which you used at the scene of the ambush of 'Steel' Maiviti and the subsequent attack on Byam by the Poseidon' cultists and rebels, and the extraordinary properties of 'World' sold at the Tarot Festival are derived from this magical item. Finally, you were too conservative in your fight yesterday, completely different from when you were in Byam, and while I don't know how you managed to make Creep Hunger no longer hungry, you must have been afraid of its negative effects and didn't use it on the island, right? ”

Alger explained in one breath, a determined smile on his face, which made his weather-beaten and rugged face a little rounded.

As the "think tank" of the Tarot Society, the "hanging man" who often gives advice to the "sun" and "justice", actually analyzed my identity from these details, of course, I only cared about hiding Angel and did not pay attention to him, and I contacted him in Byam, and accidentally exposed the battles I participated in is also an important reason...... Klein sighed inwardly and asked expressionlessly:

"So?"

"So, we can try to form an alliance, looser, but binding," Alger breathed a sigh of relief seeing that he didn't deny or be angry, "Of course, this is not to disadvantage the Tarot Society and Mr. Fool, it's just that we can share resources privately and help each other, and I have this ghost ship, the information channel within the Storm Church, and you...... You can even get the 'Wriggling Hunger' ...... given by Mr. Fool."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Crane's left hand with some envy, meaning that the other party could contact the other relatives of the "Fool".

“…… In the end, Miss Queen's combat effectiveness will become our most powerful guarantee...... By the way, you know she's Miss Queen. ”

I'd love to say "now I know" and put you at Angel's disposal, but then she'll know I'm the "world...... Crane resisted the urge to act thoughtlessly as "Gelman" and nodded.

"Like the night before on a pristine island?"

"It's like that."

Alger replied quickly.

That's why he brought the "world" to the deck alone to reveal the identity of the other, a pristine island rich in resources, where all kinds of otherworldly creatures that are difficult to find in the outside world gather strangely, and the location is known only to the three of them, it is simply an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Although this is weaker than the forces and channels behind the "star general" Gadelia, it is far stronger than fighting alone, which can keep his position at the tarot meeting and avoid the fate of being marginalized due to the duplication of identity.

In order to protect this property, he must enlist other members and form alliances.

It's like me and Zillingers...... He recalled gloomily, and suddenly thought of something, and asked:

"Miss 'Queen' doesn't know that you are 'the world'?"

The other party's cold eyes quickly made him react:

"I see, I'll leave it to you to explain to her."

I don't even know how to explain it, I knew that she took the initiative to admit it when she revealed my identity as a fool believer, and now it's dragging on for too long, and it's getting more and more difficult...... The corners of Klein's mouth twitched, and his eyes moved to the distant sea, only to notice a row of sails near the horizon.

"That's ......" Alger followed his gaze, and soon noticed something unusual, squinting his eyes to check, "It shouldn't be a merchant ship, I deliberately stayed away from the busy route." ”

Before he could make any move, the horn hanging at the stern of the ship made a low humming sound, which instantly spread through all the cabins, and soon the sailors were gathered on the deck, and someone handed him a delicate monocular, which Alger took and pulled away, and aimed it at the distant fleet to take a closer look.

"What's going on?"

Angel also heard the alarm and came up from the cabin below, approaching Klein and asking.

Crane, who had just revealed his identity, looked away with some weakness and said in a low voice:

"An unidentified fleet was spotted in the distance......"

"It's 'Lieutenant General Dusk' Bulatov Ivan."

Alger said as he lowered his binoculars, causing an exclamation from the sailors on deck.

Although this pirate general is not as famous as the others, especially the "Admiral of Hell" and "Admiral of Blood", as one of the seven pirate generals, his name is undoubtedly a nightmare for every sailor and adventurer.

Fortunately, he is not a murderer, mainly robs property, and the target always chooses merchant ships flying the Rune flag, so under the premise that the size of the fleet is no less than that of the "blood admiral" Seigno, the bounty is only two-thirds of the opponent.

"The 'Lieutenant General of Twilight' with a bounty of £28,000 ......"

After Klein found himself almost trapped in the "crazy adventurer" character just now, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and at this time he no longer worried about the problem of playing, and subconsciously blurted out the other party's bounty, but now it is above the sea, even if the bounty of "Lieutenant General Dusk" is as high as 280,000, he has no way to take the other party.

And after facing the "Sick Lieutenant General" Tracy and the "ageless" witch Caterina behind her, Crane knows that every pirate general who can gain a foothold on the sea is not as easy to deal with as it seems on the surface.

Otherwise, the high-order extraordinary who is short of money would have already come to the sea to catch a few high bounties to fill the gap in their wallets.

"Will he attack us?" Angel also squinted at the fleet in the distance and asked.

"Bulatov doesn't usually attack pirate ships, but after he and Admiral Blood' each fought two ships off the southern coast of Sunia a few months ago, that wasn't guaranteed." Alger replied, "Fortunately, my ship is faster than them, so I can take the initiative to avoid it." ”

With his words, the "Blue Avenger's" huge sails readjusted, and the hull quickly turned, cutting an arc across the sea, dodging the fleet in the distance.

In the distance, the "Vice Admiral Dusk" also spotted the ghost ship flying the skull pirate flag here, and two slender and fast warships with slender hulls, which were obviously faster than the others, puffed up their sails and tried to pursue along the interception route, but it didn't take long to notice the difference in speed between the two sides, and turned the bow of the ship back.

"If it were other pirate generals, even if it was to vent his anger, he would let the striker chase for two more hours, but Bulatov would not, they were disciplined, their actions were purposeful, and in the battle with the 'blood admiral', although the losses of both sides were the same, but Sennior lost two capital ships, and he only lost two of the oldest ships."

Keeping an eye on the fleet in the distance, until they disappeared below sea level, Alger breathed a sigh of relief, waved off the sailors who were watching the show, and said to Angel and Crane.

It's more of a navy than a pirate regiment...... Angel commented in his heart.

"So, they should be here for some kind of purpose?"

Looking at 28,000 pounds waving away from him, Klein suddenly spoke.

"It may be that they were ordered to intercept some ships, hehe, it is rumored that behind the 'Vice Admiral Dusk' is actually the Vorsack Empire and the Church of the God of War, so they often do things that ordinary pirates can't understand, and they may even run through the Raging Sea to the Southern Continent......"

Alger mentally mapped out the destination of the other party according to the direction of the team's departure and the chart, and found that it pointed to the depths of the Raging Sea, and replied casually, but he frowned when he looked in the direction he came.

"However, the direction they came from seems to be Hakata Port...... Is that your destination? ”
