I'm not just human!

Because without a doubt, this extraordinary monarch who signed the eternal agreement is now being targeted by both the "Roaring Emperor" and Marshal Gaius.

He probably won't dare to show himself easily until some time has passed and he has avoided the limelight enough.

Moreover, the mysterious emperor still resides in the Baron Ocean.

Aside from the five pirate emperors who were already at sea, any other ruler or extraordinary monarch who dared to appear would have to think twice before attracting the attention of that mysterious emperor, and the Crimson Agent was no exception.

In fact, this was one of the reasons why he dared to kill Pompey directly in the Augustus family's palace.

Xia Fa understood that it was not advisable for the Crimson Agent to appear now, which gave him an opportunity to advance his understanding of the secret contract and sign the next overlord-level secret contract.

In particular, his next secret contract is the [Mystic Singularity], a supreme secret contract that no one has ever seen before...

"Are these migrating whales difficult to catch?"

Xia Fa asked curiously, looking up at the captain of the Red Porcupine.

He really wanted to see this legendary traveling whale for himself, and especially wanted to try and see if he could get anything good out of its belly.

Captain Red Pufferfish chuckled and was about to speak.

At this moment, the short and stout first mate was the first to speak up:

"It depends on the opportunity. Sometimes it's difficult, sometimes it's easy. If there are two secret contracts, 'Spirit Contractor' and 'Spirit Servant,' they are easier to capture."

He seemed afraid that the captain would ramble on and on, so he quickly gave a brief summary.

Although interrupted, the captain of the Red Pufferfish immediately added:

"If someone has signed the 'Star Spirit Master' hegemonic-level secret contract, it will be even easier to capture them, and we can also use the secret contract abilities within the Star Spirit Master for tracking!"

Xia Fa asked in confusion:

"So, wouldn't it be easier for the overlords who have signed with the Celestial Spirit Master to discover which traveling whales have good stuff inside?"

Captain Red Pufferfish chuckled:

"Pretty much, but the Star Spirit Lord's secret contract is a hegemon-level contract. How can it be signed so easily? I've been at sea for almost thirty years and I've only ever seen one."

He immediately added after he finished speaking:

"Moreover, those who sign with the Celestial Spirit Master are only more likely to sense the good things inside the traveling whale's belly than others; they are not necessarily able to find them accurately."

"To succeed in this line of work, you still need experience and accumulation, as well as some closely guarded skills."

"The reason is quite simple. After all, the traveling whale is a mysterious spirit. Its skin and thick blubber have long been tainted by the chaotic information flow in the Protoss Realm, which can naturally isolate it from spiritual intuition and most other means of detection."

"You know about divination by interference, right? It's the same principle. The skin and blubber of a traveling whale can simultaneously act like live iron powder, disrupting the flow of time and interfering with the curvature of space."

"The signer of the Celestial Spirit Master is more skilled at contracting Celestial Spirits and other various kinds of spirits. Of course, they cannot have the special secret contract ability to probe the good stuff inside the belly of a traveling whale through its skin and fat."

"But don't worry, once we catch a migratory whale, I'll teach you how to tell which migratory whales have good stuff inside, hahaha!"

Before they knew it, the captain of the Red Pufferfish had launched into a long tirade, leaving the first and second officers utterly exasperated.

Dagney, feeling somewhat weary, shook her head.

"Captain, you should stop torturing Xia Fa. If this continues, his ears will get calluses just like ours."

Captain Red Pufferfish scratched his head again and chuckled:

"I think Brother Xiafa really enjoys listening to me talk, don't you think so?"

Seeing that Xia Fa was the only person on the ship willing to listen to him seriously, Captain Red Pufferfish immediately became friendly with him and started calling him brother.

Xia Fa smiled slightly:

"Actually, Captain Red Pufferfish may seem talkative, but it actually shows that he has a kind heart, so I think he's alright."

Upon hearing this, both the first mate and the second mate were stunned.

This Xia Fa... isn't he the young master of the Augustus family? How come he has such high emotional intelligence?

These words deeply moved the man on the red pufferfish boat. Tears immediately welled up in his buffalo-like eyes, and he came over and hugged Xia Fa tightly.

"Xia Fa, you understand me so well! Everyone else thinks I'm long-winded, but you're the first person to say that, waaaaah—"

Dagney had a look of mixed amusement and exasperation on her face. Seeing that Captain Red Pufferfish wouldn't let go of Xiafa, she could only sigh and shake her head.

Fortunately, the captain of the Red Pufferfish finally realized his own large size and didn't hold Xia Fa for too long, fearing he would suffocate. He quickly let go of him, only holding his shoulders with both hands.

"Good brother, I heard that quite a few young overlords from our planet Calig will be coming to the Baron Ocean this time. Don't worry, even though I can't beat them, I definitely won't let them bully you! At worst, I'll take you with me when we run away!"

He clearly regarded Xia Fa as a young master who had come to the sea for adventure on a whim, but he had no problem with Xia Fa to begin with, and now he completely recognized Xia Fa's emotional intelligence.

In fact, because of Marshal Gaius's relationship with the Father of the Stars, the Stars Pirate Crew would occasionally receive a young master or lady from the Augustus family.

Among the young members of the Augustus family who went to sea, Frederick was the most outstanding and gained the recognition of the pirates.

It's not that other young people are lazy or lazy; in fact, they are all quite hardworking, have a good attitude, and even possess a noble demeanor.

But the problem is, it's not strong enough...

The Baron Ocean is home to pirates who cherish freedom and adventure, but for that reason, they need the strength to enjoy freedom and adventure to their heart's content.

Pirates under any pirate emperor always held the strongest in high regard.

The difference lies in the fact that the pirate emperors, the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet, command pirates who only respect the strong and may even bully the weak.

After all, the pirates under their command were synonymous with bloodshed and crime, and they would even steal the catch of poor fishermen, let alone the weak on the ship.

The other three pirate emperors tended to protect the weaker members of their own ship.

The first mate and the second mate exchanged glances. Putting everything else aside, this young master named Xia Fa, although his rank was unclear and he probably carried some kind of secret treasure to conceal his aura, had really high emotional intelligence. He had won the captain's heart with just a few words.

Degren, on the other hand, smiled as she looked at Xia Fa, lost in thought.

Seeing that the captain of the Red Pufferfish mentioned those young overlords, Xia Fa immediately seized the opportunity to ask:

"How many hegemons will arrive on the Baron Ocean this time?"

This question stumped the red porcupine. He scratched the back of his head and hesitated before saying:

“In the past, there might have been one or two each year, many of whom were familiar faces. Or rather, as long as they used their secret contract abilities, it was easy to tell from afar what kind of overlord-level secret contract they had signed. As for this time… there probably won’t be more than ten, right?”

There are fewer than ten young overlords who have come from the entire planet of Caligia?

So, the total number is probably less than twenty, right?

Keep in mind that these are hundreds of countries in total, each with a population of hundreds of millions!

Xia Fa clicked his tongue in amazement. It seemed that he had underestimated the probability and difficulty of signing a hegemon-level secret agreement.

Degren nodded, a rare occurrence, in agreement:

“This time the situation is different. With that mysterious emperor here, the rulers and even the extraordinary monarchs of the other twenty-one continents should not dare to show their faces. In this way, many young overlords will not be afraid of being intercepted and killed by the rulers of the hostile countries. So almost all of them will come, unlike in the past when there were only one or two. There may be more than ten, but not by much.”

The first mate sighed:

"This is truly an unprecedented event. If a hegemon can stand out among so many young hegemons, he will surely be remembered in history. His deeds will probably spread throughout the entire planet Calig.

Captain Red Pork Pufferfish agreed:

“Yes, our Baron Ocean, with its abundance of migratory whales, along with its rare and mysterious realms and ruins, is already enough to attract those young overlords,”

"Now, another top-tier secret contract is suspected to be about to be released,"

"Oh right, there's also that thing the Mysterious Emperor was chasing... Although I don't know what it is, it's probably the reason why many young overlords came to this grand event. Although they certainly wouldn't dare to compete with the Mysterious Emperor for it, they probably all wanted to see it from afar."

He said three sentences in a row, then looked at Xia Fa and patted him on the shoulder:

"But my good brother, don't be discouraged. Even though you haven't signed a top-tier secret contract, with your emotional intelligence, you might not be any worse off than them in the future!"

Xia Fa chuckled inwardly. Judging from the situation, only the black-robed angel and the Father of Ten Thousand Stars probably knew that he had signed the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract.

This is normal; the Augustus family is keeping this strictly confidential and naturally cannot disclose it to the outside world.

But what comforted Xia Fa was that, both at yesterday's dinner and at breakfast today,

Although the angels like Chalcos and the demigods like Axo wanted to keep this news a secret, they specifically instructed Shafa that if he encountered danger, he should not hesitate to use the Silver Throne, as survival was the most important thing, no matter how many people were watching.

Xiafa guessed that they were probably just afraid of being recruited by the Selenes royal family and becoming their son-in-law...

The captain of the Red Porcupine then pulled Xia Fa back to the round table and pointed to the nautical chart.

"This sea area is the territory of our Myriad Star Pirates. It's huge, isn't it? It's almost the size of the Star Coin Continent."

"And all we need to do is cross this strait to meet the leader's 'Starship'."

"As for whether we'll encounter migrating whales along the way, that depends on luck. They usually appear in these few places: here, here, and here—"

boom!!!!!

A deafening roar came from a great distance, followed by a violent shaking of the earth. The entire Red Porcupine was rocked, and waves surged and rose into the air.

Fortunately, everyone was a superhuman, so there was no problem with them not being able to stand steadily. However, Captain Red Porcupine and Dagney immediately supported Xia Fa, one on each side.

Because Xia Fa was wearing the secret treasure suit that cost 50,000 gold pounds but for which he had only paid a little over 20,000 gold pounds, his aura of rank could be concealed—this was one of the best functions of that suit.

Therefore, none of the people on the ship knew his rank, but they all politely refrained from asking and simply chose to protect him silently.

Xia Fa didn't explain for the time being. In any case, he had no intention of hiding his Silver Throne ability. When the time came, he would make his move, and everyone would naturally understand whether he was strong or weak.

"what happened?"

Degney's expression suddenly changed, and with a clench of her slender fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, a fiery red dagger instantly appeared in her hand.

Xia Fa then noticed that the color of her fingernail polish and toenail polish were both bright red, which made her look more radiant and elegant.

Especially her feet, with their snow-white skin and bright red toenails, were just as alluring as an Orff perfume...

However, Auf's feet were delicate and small, while Dagney's feet were alluring and enchanting, like those of a fairy.

Of course, Xia Fa didn't think too much about it. After all, he wasn't a pervert who liked to stare at people's feet. He rushed out of the captain's cabin and looked in the direction from which the loud noise came.

To his surprise, the pirates who had been resting and having fun on the deck were now on high alert, each drawing their scimitars or short swords, as if they were ready to fight at any moment.

Captain Red Pufferfish, along with Dagney and the others, rushed out of the captain's cabin and looked in the direction from which the loud noise had erupted.

But immediately, both they and the pirates on the ship showed expressions of extreme astonishment.

On the far horizon, a cloud with large, watery eyes was continuously showering down candy rain while simultaneously unleashing lightning to attack a mobile armored creature tens of thousands of meters tall.

Furthermore, pumpkin carriages loaded with bombs moved across the sea as if it were flat ground, rushing towards the 10,000-meter-high motorized armored vehicle.

The mobile armor was painted entirely in white, with an orange "V"-shaped decoration on its head. It carried a massive, mountain-like magic-powered mechanical cannon on its back, and each arm was equipped with a bright orange-red high-temperature cutting blade, which it was currently wielding to slash at the pumpkin carriages.

With a single swipe of its blade, all the pumpkin carriages snapped in two and exploded not far from it.
