Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 309 Familiar Place, Familiar People
Naval warships are typically built to the standards of large ships, and are often a size larger or even several sizes larger than ordinary civilian or pirate vessels.

Ships of this size are relatively rare on the high seas; they are usually only found on the main warships or merchant ships of some dominant pirate crews.

Of course, compared to the Celestial Dragons' vehicles, the naval warships, as large vessels, are somewhat lacking.

Not only in size, but also in speed, the warship is inferior to its counterpart.

The Celestial Dragons' extremely luxurious cruise ships are generally equipped with the same power source as the famous 'automatic elevators' in the Holy Land.

These 'biodynamics' give them an extra boost beyond wind power, allowing them to easily catch up with lighter vessels.

"Damn it!"

"It's a Celestial Dragon!"

Seeing the giant ship sailing straight toward them, and the densely packed black-clad agents on board, even the slow-witted Bai Shou could roughly guess who was on board!
"Brother Burfat, what should we do?!"

"The one on the other side looks like a Celestial Dragon!"

"They seem to be after us. Have they discovered our identities?"

"Want to come?"

The people on the ship were all talking at once, clearly not expecting to encounter a Celestial Dragon here, and were all a little at a loss for what to do.

"Um……"

At this moment, Bourfat also propped himself up and stood up, and came to the bow of the ship.

Upon seeing the enormous ship clearly heading in his direction, and the men in black suits on board, guns raised and ready for battle, the smile that had been on his face because of his newly adopted son vanished completely.

So if possible, he really didn't want to provoke this group of guys who were like a hornet's nest at this time.

But even if you don't seek trouble, trouble will find you.

The feeling of weakness and dizziness that surged through his body as he stood up reminded Bulfat that he was now at his last gasp.

If he continues to engage in high-intensity combat while his body is injured, he could collapse at any moment.

Bulfat is not afraid of death, or rather, as a pirate, he feels he has lived long enough to reach this age.

But Bourfat is no longer alone. On his ship are his childhood friend whom he has reunited with after a long separation. The friend has finally escaped the hellish life of slavery and deserves a new life.

And his child, his godson… He had only just come into this world, his life hadn’t even begun, it couldn’t end like this…

[......]
[At the very least, they need to get to Fenrir safely.]
"Whoo~"

After briefly calculating his and his opponent's speeds and realizing that there was no way to escape, Bourfat decided to stop hesitating.

Taking a deep breath and forcibly mustering the last bit of strength in his body, he shouted the command:

"Open fire immediately! Take them out as quickly as possible before those navy ships catch up!"

"Yes!"*n
boom! ! !
The roar of cannons instantly ignited the sea...

……

On a deserted island in the doldrums where the New World meets the West Sea.

"It is often said that when you revisit a familiar place, things have changed and people are no longer the same, which often evokes feelings of nostalgia... Now it seems that there is some truth to that."

As she slowly descended from the sky to the ground, La stepped onto this familiar island once again after many years—the primordial island where she first encountered this strange world.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ I still remember the scene when I met the three of you on this island very clearly."

As soon as Ra finished speaking, Kaido's wild laughter followed.

boom--!
Compared to La's light, fleeting landing, Kaido transformed back into human form mid-air before crashing down with a loud 'boom,' creating a small but significant crater in the ground.

Call ~
The powerful gust of wind generated by the massive object landing made her golden hair fly wildly, but La didn't rush to comb it. Instead, she waved her hand to clear away the dust that was obstructing her view.

With a symbolic wave of her slender hand, a gentle breeze swept across the island, located in the doldrums, refreshing the air. However, the country-style dress she was wearing still had some dust on it; after all, it was just an ordinary garment, a gift from Ossie that she had bought for her from a store, and couldn't be as spotless as divine clothing.

After dusting off the dust, Ra glanced at Kaido briefly, then walked towards the north side of the island without saying a word.

Kaido: "..."

……

Brown boots rustled as they stepped on the grass.

The land beneath Ra's feet was once scorched by Kaido's dragon breath, turning it into almost a completely white wasteland... Now, several years later, the wild grass here grows much more lushly than in other parts of the island.

However, although the grass was lush, few trees had grown, and the once dense forest had barely recovered to the level of shrubs.

rustling~ rustling~
The chirping of insects filled the air, interspersed with someone's soliloquy. The person seemed to be recalling a battle that had taken place here years ago, occasionally letting out a loud sigh.
"That battle back then was really exhilarating! I almost got burned to death! Don't you think so, La?"

"I was clearly the one who won back then, but I, the winner, ended up getting beaten to a pulp, while you, La, didn't even have your clothes disheveled. Right, La?"

"I remember that brat Ossie back then, blah blah blah~ you know what I mean, right?"

"And Obey, what if she blah blah blah~ you know what I mean, right?"

……

"It's quite a coincidence, isn't it? That guy hid for ages, and in the end, he ended up on this island too... Don't you think so, La?"

slap~
"We've arrived; he should be hiding here."

After walking silently for nearly ten minutes, they stopped in front of a very old-looking brick wall, the site of the ruins that were originally located on the south side of the island.

Compared to other parts of the island that were leveled by the battle, this area miraculously suffered little damage; although many of the buildings and walls collapsed, they remained largely intact.

He reached out and touched the moss-covered wall, then politely knocked on it.

clang~ clang~ clang~
As the tapping motion landed, the ancient brick wall in front of them emitted a crisp, metallic sound.

Without a doubt, the 'brick wall' that appears identical to other ruins is a smokescreen, and someone is hiding behind it!
……

……

Half a minute passed, and there was no response.

Ra was in no hurry and raised his hand to knock again, but Kaido didn't have that much patience.

"I'll do it, you step back a little."

Without even knocking, he simply swung the stick and smashed it down.

clang! ! !
The spiked club, imbued with an aura of dominance, slammed down with immense force onto the fake 'brick wall,' sending the 'wall' and the mountainside behind it flying into the sky!
Sunlight streamed into the mountainside, revealing a surprisingly spacious interior—a somewhat rudimentary but well-equipped laboratory.

In one of the lab's cubicles, a blond, round-faced fat man sat on the toilet, holding a newspaper and staring blankly at the torn-off ceiling above him.

"..."

pat~
The cigar in the blond fat man's mouth fell to the ground unconsciously, and his expression gradually changed from blank to terrified. Even his voice became distorted due to tension.

"You...you...Kaito?!"

"Yo~ Long time no see, Sain."

Snapped!
Kaido leaped in front of the man, carrying his club, and looked down at the man on the toilet.

"Because you didn't report to my place as agreed, I've come to find you in person!"

"So now, can you explain it?"
