Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 235 The Road to Becoming King
Among the pirates, whether they were the calm and ruthless doctor or the rude madman, they all knelt or stood, and slowly raised their heads with awe, looking up at the pirate king above them.

The little crow also tried its best to raise its head.

Through the blurry vision, the little crow could vaguely make out the entire layout of the base.

Above her was a huge throne, and below the throne was a long staircase.

At the top of the steps stood three notorious pirates.

However, before that, what first caught her eye was the Blood Hunter...

Why is the Blood Hunter next to me...?

The little crow's heart was beating faster and faster.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
At such close range, the little crow finally got a clear look at the Blood Hunter.

The Blood Hunter's skin was covered with sharp knife marks, as if it had been scraped by countless threads.

On the hunter's clothes, which were stained with congealed dark red blood, blurry numbers could be seen.

In contrast to his dark red clothes were two incredibly sharp long swords at his waist.

At the same time, the little crow was surprised to find that there were four prosthetic limbs on the Blood Hunter's shoulders, and the prosthetic limbs were engraved with the pattern of steam hands!

However, these other four arms were close to the body, with the palms resting very calmly on the Blood Hunter's abdomen. Most of them were covered by the Blood Hunter's hunting clothes, and this feature was easy to overlook without careful observation.

The little crow couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of water.

In taverns and on pirate ships, the seven Black Whale Pirates, each with a bounty of over a hundred million, are undoubtedly the subject of countless discussions. They represent the pinnacle of the sea and are symbols of power.

And the little crow, through the boasts of the people in the tavern, learned a great deal about these seven great pirates.

The legend of the Black Whale Gang, the invincible blade, the blade cup, profession unknown, the Blood Hunter.

According to pirate legends, Blood Hunter once served under the Steam Hands of the royal capital, and he was an elite warrior trained by the Steam Hands hunters from a young age.

Meanwhile, after ascending to Legendary status, he followed the orders of the Steam Hand to become a Edge Hunter, fighting unimaginable monsters on the frontier of the New Sun World for three long years.

However, due to internal strife in the capital, after completing his four-year mission of guarding the border, he was abandoned and hunted down by the Steam Hand.

Finally, after killing ten pursuers, the exhausted Blood Hunter boarded a small boat and began a long drift from the edge of the New Sun World.

When he woke up again, he saw the father of the whales, and from then on, having no one to rely on, he became a member of the Black Whale Gang.

In the fifteen years since Blood Hunter joined the Black Whale Gang, he has fought in over a hundred battles without a single defeat.

Moreover, without exception, all of his battles were solo missions.

Blood Hunter is the only major pirate who does not have his own fleet or even direct subordinates.

He disliked the atmosphere of pirate ships, and for every mission, he would sail alone in a small, patched-up steamboat.

Once, the Blood Hunter, alone and reliant on a single drop of blood, walked along the commercial street of Moonstone City, longsword in hand, killing the hunters and naval forces that charged at him. Finally, in front of countless naval soldiers and bodyguards, he killed the president of the Moonstone City Hunter Association atop a pile of corpses.

However, despite their impressive record, there is very little information about the Blood Hunters' abilities on the high seas.

According to rumors, Blood Hunter was once a puppeteer. When Blood Hunter used all six of his hands and six swords, even a Navy admiral could not last more than thirty seconds.

"I hope I haven't been discovered..." the little crow thought to itself, trying to remain calm.

"No need to be nervous."

The Blood Hunter adjusted his hunter's hat, deactivated his massive aura, and spoke briefly.

The little crow was stunned for a moment before she realized that her heartbeat had become loud enough for an outsider to hear clearly.

"Um……"

The little crow gave an awkward smile, raised its head, and boldly stared straight ahead.

Three great pirates stood atop the steps.

The Dragon Tamer, Jay, was not tall, only 1.5 meters, and wore heavy lightning-patterned armor.

He is a fourth-tier legendary dragon tamer, a flower-hearted dragon master from the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom. He once made a contract with a ferocious Thunder Dragon in the Thunder Strait.

Jack the Dragon Tamer is the most fond of aerial combat among the Black Whale Pirates. He commands the Black Whale Pirates' "Flying Fish" fleet, "Flying Dragon" fleet, and "Bombing Dragon" fleet, totaling thirty large ships, as well as three exploration airships.

However, in the Sea of ​​Rifts, his fleet focused on conquering the thunderstorm area in the southern part of the Sea of ​​Rifts, as well as the rifts inside the Great Whirlpool, and did not have any large-scale conflicts with any forces.

Rumors circulated within the Black Whale Gang that Dragon Tamer Jay was currently preparing to tame an adult Black Ship Sea Dragon using information from the naval base and the Dragon Chains of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom!

"I must remember what these great pirates look like..." the little crow thought to itself, looking towards the highest point.

To the left of the whale father stood a doctor.

He wore a black top hat, had a typical hooked nose, and was dressed in a black pharmacist's coat.

From a distance, it appears as a lifeless expanse of dark black.

Black Death Doctor, a plague doctor specializing in the Flower Cup phase, and the main person in charge of the Black Whale Group Research Institute.

According to rumors, he was originally a member of the Naval Research Institute, but he had to flee for his life because he violated several prohibitions, and eventually became a member of the Black Whale Group.

According to pirate rumors, the Black Death Doctor was an even more terrifying researcher than the original Flower Witch. He possessed a potion laced with plague poison, and a single dose would be enough to spread the plague and destroy a city.

The Black Death Doctor once said that he would teach the Flower Witch what a true potion is.

Under its command are the 'Black Death' special operations team, the 'Black Filth' fleet, the 'Great Sea Monster' fleet responsible for exploration, and a large number of researchers from the Black Whale Group.

To the right of the whale father is a man wearing a straw hat and holding a paddle.

"He's the ferryman who brought us here. He's the legendary ferryman of the River Styx..." the little crow thought to itself.

According to pirate legends, the Styx Ferryman of the Lantern Void possesses the ability to traverse rifts and transport people to other worlds.

However, very little information is available about this great pirate.

According to rumors, all of the Black Whale Gang's large ships can be driven by this ferryman!

Including the ferryman, there are a total of four major pirates from the Black Whale Gang here!
Fear... The weak and helpless little crow trembled involuntarily.

The Black Whale Gang is missing three of its seven great pirates.

They are the missing Hammer Gunner Carol, the drowning Ice Void Man, and the legendary Book Man, the Archmage General Reading the Newspaper, who is active in the White Tower Federation's waters.

Immediately afterward, the little crow's eyes widened as it looked at the person on the throne.

A tall figure sat upon a throne made of ebony, spoils of war, and the bones of sea monsters.

Pirate King Whale Father, a name that alone is enough to make the Witch Sea tremble. His face is covered with scars, making him almost unrecognizable, and his skin is sculpted into a bronze color by years of sea winds and scorching sun.

On that skin were twelve dark red stone scars, which, according to legend, were proof that the Whale Father had hunted down the twelve tentacles of the deep-sea Titan and finally killed them.

The little crow took a deep breath.

Unlike the other four great pirates, Whale Father's spiritual energy field was extremely weak, and she could not sense it at all!
Although Whale Father was tall and strong, compared to the various cup-shaped monsters, his physique was only that of an average person.

Nevertheless, in the little crow's eyes, the father whale was still enormous, so enormous that it exceeded human perception.

Lions, elephants, and even dragons cannot describe the father whale at this moment.

If one had to compare, he's like a whale, a great whale that stands firm in the storm. Although he hasn't made a move in over twenty years, the Whale Father remains a beacon in the hearts of countless pirates, the undisputed King of Pirates!

The father whale, supporting his chin with his hand, said in a deep, powerful voice:

“My children, I have gathered you here to announce two things to you.”

The little crow blinked. To its surprise, the whale father's voice, though powerful, was unexpectedly gentle, like that of a kind old man.

The father of the whale clenched his fist:
"First, the waves of the great whale are coming from the border, and along with the celestial phenomena, darkness will descend upon our night."

"But danger means rebirth! Rank B, Rank A, and the Trial Grounds of the Witch, along with countless ruins, are constantly opening up under the sweeping tide!"

“In the past, our path to advancement was firmly blocked by those nobles.”

"And now, those B-grade rifts that were sealed off by nobles, those guys who prevented us from becoming legends, saints, and beings comparable to gods, will no longer be able to stop our progress."

"My friends, beneath the waves, on this vast ocean, a path to kingship is opening up for us."

The father whale's voice was unusually calm, yet it moved everyone who heard it.

The road to becoming king... The little crow didn't know how to describe its feelings at this moment.

As the Moon of Laughter descends, the waves intensify, and the cracks widen; in the current sea area, this is no longer a secret.

The rewards from the B-rank Rift signify the production of Legendary Class Cards, and the appearance of the Witch's Trial Grounds confirms this!
After the Rift Tide, the number of Tier 3 Transcendent beings in the Rift Sea continues to increase!
And now, the legend, the destination that countless hunters once longed for, has appeared on the paths of many.

The father whale continued:

"The second thing is the lost ruins,"
On this vast sea once lay countless ruins and numerous paths leading to sainthood. However, to maintain her absolute power, the Ice Witch sealed these ruins away.

"In legend, the path to godhood that the sea goddess bestowed upon us mortals was also firmly sealed by the ice witch and taken into her coffin."

And now, her student has reappeared, attempting to seize the knowledge and utilize the sealed power. Undoubtedly, the knowledge she possesses is enough to grant our Black Whale Clan power comparable to that of gods!

The path to godhood bestowed upon us by the sea goddess… The little raven blinked, just like the other pirates, filled with doubt.

Does Whale Father mean that the Ice Witch is hindering their growth?
To become a god?

The little crow's heart was pounding harder and harder.

The father whale continued:

"And our Gun King of the Rift Sea, because of his arrogance, unfortunately fell in the Rift Sea."

But as everyone here should know, Carol's power is only a small part of our Black Whale Crew.

From this day forward, the Black Whale Gang will no longer tolerate this! My children, let them see our power! Let us wage war on the high seas and plunder all the treasures of the Rift!

"And for this battle, my children, go forth to your officers and receive your rewards and missions."

After calmly finishing his explanation, the father of the whale waved his hand.

With a wave of his hand, the four great pirates below the steps sprang into action. They took out their backpack cards and then dumped out countless dazzling treasures.

Large amounts of gold coins, treasures, skill cards, relics, and weapons kept rolling down the huge staircase!

The Black Whale Gang's accumulated treasure is enough to form a mountain of gold!
A dazzling golden light instantly filled the base.

"Phew!!! Thank you, Father Whale!"

"Father Whale! We love and respect you!"

"Don't try to steal my father's weapon! Anyone who dares to take it, I'll chop off their hand!"

A deafening roar echoed across the sea.

"Sir, reward, mission..." The little crow stared in amazement at the countless dazzling treasures.

As the ship's doctor under Captain Blackeye, Little Raven had almost never participated in such feasts where treasures were divided.

She stared blankly at the treasures. Among the treasures thrown by the Blood Hunters were not only weapons of the Deep Sea Hunters, but also legendary Tier 4 class cards!
Everything the Blood Hunter owns is a rare item that would make even a legend envious!
The Black Whale Gang's foundation...

In Little Crow's mind, although the Black Whale Pirates were powerful, they were definitely no match for the Navy, which had the support of the Imperial Capital.

The reason for the failure was due to problems within the navy.

At the same time, the Navy possesses more money and extraordinary resources than the Black Whales.

However, it seems that the Black Whales' extraordinary foundation is in no way inferior to that of the Navy.

No, to be precise, they completely crushed the Navy!

This, this, this! Is this the future of the Black Whale Gang?

The little crow swallowed a mouthful of water, and in that instant, her heart fluttered.

However, these things had nothing to do with her.

According to the whale father's orders, their rewards were issued by their respective superiors.

Her direct supervisor was originally Carol, but now that Carol is missing, their Mermaid ship probably won't receive much of a reward.

The siren beside the little crow also looked bewildered.

The next second, the Blood Hunter walked up to them:
"Dr. Raven, Siren..."

The little crow and the siren broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and the two of them said, forcing themselves to speak:
"Lord Blood Hunter, what is it?"

Blood Hunter twirled his hand and produced a dark-colored class card.

“Little crow, you are the captain.”

"And you, Siren, first mate."

"Your fleet is responsible for capturing the Black Hunter."

The little crow nodded instinctively.

The siren asked:

"Black Hunter, why not the Flower Witch?"

The sirens didn't understand why the Blood Hunters wouldn't let them capture the Flower Witch.

The Blood Hunter paused for a moment, then calmly said:
"At this stage, the witch is not important. Even if she becomes a fourth-order being, she cannot defy us."

"The Black Hunter can equip the Deep Sea Hunter's Touch of Ember. On this vast ocean, there is no one below the fourth rank who can bear that equipment."

This means he possesses the talent, the talent to become the Hand of our Black Whale Clan…”

Talent? The Hand of the Black Whale Gang? The Sirens and the little raven were dumbfounded.

The Blood Hunter revealed a dark red card in his hand:

"You don't need to worry about it. Whoever catches the Black Hunter will have this Witch class card."
