Mystery: The Last Shepherd.

Chapter 548 Sea Kings and Generals

Anderson felt a little relieved to see that the crew's attention had been diverted.

At that moment, he felt the gaze of Boatswain "Sea Serpent" Wolf Gaunt. This cautious fellow seemed to have sensed something was amiss long ago, and finally couldn't resist any longer, quietly approaching.

"First Mate, a ship is coming!"

Before Walter could speak, the lookout sailor reminded him.

Anderson glanced out of the ship's side and saw a sailboat several tens of meters long approaching them. The ship was golden in the sunlight, and unlike the filthy appearance of typical pirate ships, it looked clean and tidy, without a mess of cannons, except for a single golden cannon on the central axis.

What's even more intriguing is that the ship's sails are decorated with various styles of gold coins, including Rune gold pounds, Fair gold from Intis, Kinghorn from Fursac, and King Kerry from Fennepot...

"Ah, this is Vice Admiral Iceberg's Golden Dream!"

Amid the crowd, Princess Fussac III let out a joyful cry, having already recognized the ship as the flagship of the legendary female pirate general.

"Oh..."

For some reason, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Anderson's face when he saw the ship. He walked to the ship's railing and asked a woman standing at the bow, "What are you doing here?"

"I heard you've become a pirate too, so I came to say hello."

The woman at the bow of the ship answered calmly.

She was very beautiful, with an oval face, a high nose, thin lips, and clear blue eyes. She wasn't wearing a tricorn hat; her long brown hair was parted in the middle, simply tied in a knot at the back of her head, and then flowed smoothly down her back.

She wore a simple white shirt, dark trousers, and leather boots, which highlighted her heroic beauty.

"Iceberg Admiral", Edwina Edwards!

"I see. So you're planning to use your relationship with me to get in touch with our captain," Anderson chuckled, his tone seemingly teasing. "No wonder you're the top student in the grade, loved by all the teachers; you really know how to get things done..."

Edwina and Anderson were old acquaintances; they had both studied at the Church of Knowledge. However, the latter's exam results were not ideal, and he was not used to the atmosphere of the Church of Knowledge. In the end, he simply left the church and became an outsider, choosing a freer life.

Indeed, the Church of Knowledge is behind the "Iceberg General".

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"No disrespect to the captain!"

"Keep arguing and I'll give you a good whack! This is a purifying cannon, perfect for rinsing your mouth!"

"Hit him! You're definitely going to hit him!"

Behind Edwina, a group of male pirates surged up, cursing and swearing at the "strongest hunter of the Misty Sea," each one carrying obvious anger and some hidden emotion.

"hehe..."

Seeing this, Anderson laughed even harder. He seemed about to say something, but then his eyes darted around, glancing at the captain's cabin behind him, and he finally held back, simply waving to the pirates: "Good morning, everyone on the Golden Dream Ship. How are your classes going?"

Are you happy in class?

The pirates were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned red.

They were pirates in name only, but in reality, they were more like a group of treasure hunters. To better find the treasure, these burly men had to receive daily lectures from their captain. It was a bittersweet experience; the pain came from learning, while the pleasure came from someone's personal instruction... ahem.

"Happy? I'll drive you..."

Regardless, this incident still struck a nerve with these people. Some of the more impatient ones were about to lash out, but quickly realized that if they said they didn't like classes, what if the captain really stopped assigning them lessons in the future? So they could only stop themselves and forcefully suppress their anger, their faces turning bright red.

"alright."

Seeing the pirates fall silent for a moment, Anderson continued, "I will convey your goodwill to our captain. If anything happens at this conference, we can cooperate."

This was what he really wanted to convey: to use the captain's reputation to secure a temporary ally for the fleet.

"...Can."

Edwina looked into his eyes and nodded calmly. Although Anderson had not contacted the Church of Knowledge since becoming a pirate, the two maintained some tacit understanding.

Just then, a small boat came from the Black Lake Island and stopped in front of them.

"Your Excellency Blood Monk and Your Excellency Iceberg, I am the Earl's servant. Please allow me to guide your ships to their dock."

A man in uniform stood on the small boat and bowed to them.

"captain..."

Anderson pretended to go into the captain's cabin to ask for permission, and came out a moment later, saying to the other man, "Lead the way."

Edwina had no objections.

So the two flagships, along with their respective escort ships, followed the guide boats and headed towards Black Lake Island under the watchful eyes of countless pirates. When the pirates saw the warships following the Hiatus, their first reaction was confusion and disbelief. But when they saw clearly that the warships were flying the blood-stained black skull and crossbones flag, their doubt quickly turned into awe and shock.

Because they had already recognized that the owner of this warship was none other than the extremely vicious villain, the Blood Monk Alexander Gascoigne, who had recently caused a major incident in the Sea of ​​Sunia!

Anderson and his crew stood on the deck, their hearts not as calm as they appeared. They were watching the approaching pirates and the unusual ships.

The ancient warship, "Twilight," is the flagship of "Twilight Admiral" Ivan Bratov, reflecting the brilliant colors of dusk in the sunlight.

The Rose, the flagship of "Admiral Blood," is a bloody ship that looks like a combination of countless pieces of flesh, branches, and lumps.

Emerging from the deep sea, the futuristic and uniquely designed vessel, the flagship of "Vice Admiral" Hal Constantine, the "Newins"...

And the flagship of Nast, the "King of the Five Seas," the "Black Emperor." This three-masted sailing ship, hundreds of meters long, was moored in the water, exuding an indescribable sense of majesty.

Suddenly, Anderson saw a black light fly out of the captain's cabin and onto the sail of the Black Emperor. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was the black canvas that had caused their journey through the spirit world.

The "Golden Dream" ship next to it also emitted a light, and Edwina held up a canvas in her hand, indicating that she had also arrived here in this way.

Just as Anderson was watching these pirate ships, someone else was secretly observing them.

"Temperance is here too..."

On the ghost ship "Azure Avenger," Alger Wilson's gaze swept across the faces of the crew members, trying to find traces of the Blood Monk, but he was unsuccessful.

Because that person is still on the misty sea at this moment.

A brand new sun hung in the sky, scorching the black sailboat below.

The pure light fiercely drove away all impurities.
