I'm not just human!

"In fact, our White Lion Pirate Crew began exploring the ruins of the Starry Sky Frost Dragon six months ago. Please forgive me for not being able to disclose the specifics of what we were searching for."

“But just a few months ago, I happened to see small sailboats sent by the Bloodfang Butcher darting past outside the Starry Sky Frost Dragon Ruins.”

“At first I didn’t pay attention, but the continuous appearance of these small sailboats over the past few months finally made me suspicious.”

"Sure enough, just as I was about to find the key item with my men, the Bloodfang Pirates, under the pretext of hunting down adventurers, rushed into the Starry Sky Frost Dragon Ruins."

"Although this ruin is located in your territorial waters and belongs neither to our White Lion Pirate Crew nor the Blood Fang Pirate Crew, and anyone can enter, why does it appear at this time? Isn't it trying to steal our exploration results?"

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars suddenly interrupted:

"What you're looking for is the Dragon Ball of the Extreme Cold Starry Sky Dragon, isn't it?"

The white lion's face stiffened, seemingly not expecting the Father of Ten Thousand Stars to see right through him. However, after a moment, he exhaled a breath of stale air and bowed again with his hand on his chest.

"Your Excellency, that is indeed the case, and we have found it. However, if we hadn't acted decisively, it might have already been stolen by Bloodfang Butcher and his pirates!"

The Dragon Ball of the Extreme Cold Starry Sky Dragon...

Inside the Hall of Stars, many pirates, upon hearing this, openly revealed their greed.

This is a divine object that can be used to forge a supreme-level secret treasure!

No wonder the White Lion, an angel, led his pirate crew to spend a full six months in the Starry Sky Frost Dragon Ruins.

However, it is said that the giant star dragon of the extreme cold species fell into the Baron Ocean a thousand years ago, and its bones formed that ruin that stretches for thousands of miles.

For thousands of years, countless pirates and adventurers have ventured in to search for it, but none have been able to find the dragon ball of that extremely cold star dragon. This time, however, the white lion has found it.

Many pirates looked thoughtfully at the White Lion's gentlemanly, elegant, and slender back, pondering the matter.

After the white lion finished speaking, the Bloodfang Butcher did not say anything more to refute or refute.

This is the rule of the Wanxing Pirate Crew's Pirate Assembly: once the Father of Wanxing is brought to justice, no matter who you are or what your status is, you can only make one statement and defense for yourself.

The white lion wore a serene smile, while the Bloodfang Butcher's ferocious face was bulging with clenched teeth, both awaiting the Father of Ten Thousand Stars' decision.

Having received this new information, the Father of All Stars closed his eyes again to divine, leaning back on the throne of stars, with various stars and planets appearing and swirling above his head.

Xia Fa's eyes lit up. He guessed that this was also a secret ability of the Gate of Stars, but it seemed to be the kind that he had not yet obtained.

My understanding of the Star Gate has progressed to 62%. Although yesterday's journey was fraught with danger, I didn't have many opportunities to make a move, which prevented my understanding of the Star Gate from increasing.

However, this situation will not last long, because Shafa is going to test his skills against Prince Justinian today in order to greatly advance the understanding of the Gate of Stars.

"I estimate I'll only be able to acquire this secret ability after I've reached 80% or 100% understanding of it. I don't even know what it's called; it's somehow related to divination..."

Divination, as a common method in occultism, has an accuracy rate that is only average. Moreover, people often find themselves in danger or even lose their lives because they misinterpret the images obtained from divination.

However, for Xia Fa, the strange electric current at the spine and tail made divination an extremely useful means of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Therefore, if Xia Fa could master a secret ability related to divination, especially one from the overlord-level secret ability of the Gate of Stars, he would certainly be eager to obtain it.

He secretly hoped that when his understanding of the Gate of Stars reached 80%, he would be able to obtain this secret ability.

Then, I can also ask my cousin Hercules how to develop it!

Just then, Hercules, the father of all stars, slowly raised his eyes and opened them.

For some reason, even though His expression remained unchanged as He sat on the throne, still appearing indifferent and dignified, all the pirates present felt uneasy.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, as if something big was about to happen.

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars cast his gaze downwards, landing on Bloodfang Butcher. His tone was calm and expressionless, yet it inexplicably made everyone present tense.

"You did indeed wander into the Starry Sky Frost Dragon Ruins because you were chasing those adventurers. The White Lion has wronged you."

As soon as he finished speaking, an expression of extreme joy erupted on the Bloodfang Butcher's face.

Even if the White Lion was shocked, aggrieved, and dissatisfied, upon seeing the Father of Ten Thousand Stars deliver the verdict, He still faced the Bloodfang Butcher, placed His hands on His thighs, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, and offered an apology.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

He didn't say much, after all, he had also lost more than two hundred men this time. Every pirate in the Bloodfang Pirate Crew was as fierce as their captain, and their fighting power was unmatched.

Bloodfang Butcher waved his hand, feigning magnanimity, and said:

"It's good that you admitted your mistake. Now let's talk about compensation, since you were the one who attacked me first."

The white lion's face flushed red and then turned pale, but he finally spoke:

"As long as it's within my ability and financial means, and you don't ask for an exorbitant amount."

Bloodfang Butcher grinned maliciously, preparing to take a bite out of him, hoping to trick him into handing over the dragon pearl of the Extreme Cold Starry Sky Dragon as compensation.

But at that moment, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars slowly spoke.

"Wait, there's no need for compensation."

The White Lion, Bloodfang Butcher, and all the pirates present were stunned.

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars looked down at the Bloodfang Butcher below the throne, his tone indifferent yet carrying a sense of judgment.

Do you know why those adventurers always manage to ruin your plans?

Bloodfang Butcher asked in surprise:

"Could it be that they hold a grudge against me because of my bad reputation?"

The Father of All Stars shook his head:

"No, because the leader of this group of adventurers, twenty-three years ago, his parents died because of you, and... his parents were just commoners."

Rumble!

Upon hearing this, the Bloodfang Pirate's face immediately changed, turning ashen white, almost deathly pale.

This notorious and ruthless pirate, who had killed countless people, did not hesitate at this moment. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to the throne of the Father of Ten Thousand Stars.

"Father of the Stars, I beg you to see the truth! Since I came to your territory twenty-seven years ago, I have never killed a single civilian. Even when I plundered merchant ships, I let all the merchants go. I only kill other pirates, adventurers, and bounty hunters!"

A vengeful gleam appeared on the white lion's face as he looked at the Bloodfang Butcher, who was kneeling and kowtowing to the Father of Ten Thousand Stars on the throne, as if he were a clown.

The reason is simple: the Father of All Stars never wrongs any pirate. This means that when He speaks up and points out the major mistakes any pirate has made, that pirate is basically finished.

Pirates have tried to escape before, but who is the Father of All Stars? He is an extraordinary monarch who signed the supreme-level secret pact of the Gate of Stars!

Those who sign the Gate of Stars are best at escaping and saving their lives when they are weak. Conversely, once they become powerful, they rarely fail when they are tracking or hunting down someone.

On the Starry Throne, the Father of All Stars, as majestic as an emperor, slowly shook his head:

“Indeed, you did not kill them. And as you promised, you have not killed any civilians or refugees since you entered my territorial waters.”

"In fact, that's why I'm willing to let you into my territorial waters, so that other pirates who have made serious mistakes will know that this is their place of atonement."

“But,” He changed the subject, “twenty-three years ago, you successfully destroyed a super-hunter’s hideout and stole many of the marine supernatural creatures they hunted and caught, including even a traveling whale that emerged from the Pale Suffocating Sea.”

“You were very happy at the time, especially after that traveling whale sold for more than two million gold pounds.”

"As a result, you held banquets for three days straight on the Bloodfang, and got completely drunk every day."

"But because of this, you relaxed your control over your subordinates, which led to them taking advantage of your inattention in the middle of the night to teleport to a small fishing village, abduct women, and kill everyone there."

"And the leader of that group of adventurers was the only child who escaped from that small fishing village."

Upon hearing this, Bloodfang Butcher was drenched in sweat, his face filled with despair, as if his own doomsday was approaching.

He truly did not know about this matter. If he had known, even if given ten thousand chances, he would never have come to the Father of Ten Thousand Stars to seek justice, after all, the Bloodfang Pirates had caused far greater losses to the White Lion Pirates.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

Inside the Hall of Stars, many pirates were filled with fear, never expecting that the Father of All Stars, after receiving sufficient information, would be able to divine events that had occurred more than twenty years ago!

This was truly terrifying, and it made them feel even more keenly the unparalleled justice and majesty of the Father of Ten Thousand Stars at sea.

boom!

Suddenly, six pirates appeared in the exploding starlight in front of the kneeling Bloodfang Butcher, all looking bewildered and unaware of what had happened.

Just a moment ago, they were still in the Sandworm Pirates' bay, guarding the Bloodfang.

But when they turned their heads and saw the Father of All Stars sitting on the Star Throne, they immediately showed extreme fear.

Someone immediately realized something, and their legs went weak, causing them to collapse to the ground.

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars remained expressionless, simply waving one hand lightly.

Starlight enveloped Bloodfang Butcher and the six pirates aboard the Bloodfang. Bloodfang Butcher screamed, his face contorted in extreme pain, like a demon being tortured in hell.

"Bloodfang Butcher, you have failed to control your pirates and are guilty of the same crime as your pirates. However, considering that you have not harmed any civilians or refugees in the twenty-seven years since you entered my territory, I will only strip you of your rank."

The voice of the Father of All Stars was loud and majestic, resounding throughout the Hall of Stars:

“Your six subordinates, like you, have become mortals again. All seven of you will be banished to a subspace, and only one of you will survive.”

"Those who survive will be sent to the Putet Farm in the Kingdom of Augu to do hard labor for the farmers there. If they make any disturbance, they will be killed immediately."

"Alright, you can go now."

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the seven pirates, including Bloodfang Butcher, began to twist and spin in the space, screaming in terror as they were banished into the subspace.

The pirates present were filled with even greater fear, but they also felt a deep sense of awe and respect for the Father of Ten Thousand Stars.

In fact, the way the Father of Ten Thousand Stars handled it was almost the same as killing Bloodfang Butcher and the six pirates directly, but clearly, He added an extra layer of punishment, making these wicked pirates kill each other.

Even the sole surviving pirate would spend the rest of his life as a slave, a fate worse than death.

The white lion was overjoyed and once again placed his hand on his chest, bowing respectfully to the Father of Ten Thousand Stars.

Anyone could see that this time, the pirate with the angelic rank was almost completely convinced of the Father of All Stars.

"Your just judgment has won my heart's approval. I praise you, the great Father of all stars!"

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars didn't say much, he just nodded slightly.

The white lion, however, with a pleased expression, retreated to his pirate crew.

In His White Lion Pirate Crew, the pirates clenched their fists and waved them repeatedly, seemingly celebrating the destruction of the Bloodfang Butcher.

Xia Fa witnessed the whole thing, and while he was increasingly surprised, he also gained a deeper understanding of his cousin Hercules's status as the Father of All Stars in the Baron Ocean.

A pirate with the angelic rank, rendered useless in a way that left everyone without question.

Is this the power of a pirate emperor?

Or perhaps, only Hercules, the father of all stars, is like this?

Next, the captains of pirate crews of all sizes stepped forward, all of them because of conflicts or even fierce battles, and asked the Father of Ten Thousand Stars to uphold justice.
