Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

"you!"

Osi's actions made Oubei's eyes almost pop out. She didn't expect Osi to be so shameless.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, sis! I didn't..."

"It was you, you who tricked me into saying things like 'At this point we can only resort to trickery' and 'Big Sister won't do anything to us'. It was you!

Sister La, please believe me. How could someone as honest as me possibly come up with such a cheating method? Only a wicked guy like Ou Bei would not only cheat but also try to drag me down with him!

"You, you bastard! You're talking nonsense, making false accusations, and slandering me!"

"Ah Ba Ah Ba Ah Ba...Anyway, you were the one who mentioned cheating first, and I'm just an accomplice at most.

No, I should be a poor hostage, a poor wretch you used as a shield. Woohoo~ Sister La, Oubey is such a bad guy~"

"Okay, stop acting. I know your personalities very well. You figured out the trick, Oubey, right?"

La grabbed Ossie's collar and pulled her off his lap.

"Sister, I..."

"And you definitely didn't object, Ossi, did you? On the contrary, with your personality, you might even push Ouba forward."

"Big sister, you are wise!" Ou Bei's tone was excited, as if Dou E met Bao Zheng, and the warm sun melted the snow of injustice.

"Well, Sister La, how could you think of me like that..." Osi still wanted to make some shameless excuses.

"Well, it's my fault that I didn't notice it at the beginning and let you take advantage of the opportunity.

Perhaps the task I assigned was too difficult, forcing you to resort to this method to try to get by."

La looked at the "clothes" on the two people.

Under the loose long skirts that La had woven for them was a set of real clothes bought from a store in town, and the two of them evenly imbued their divine power into every strand of silk thread, forming another set of "clothes".

This is almost identical to the entanglement technique of Armament Haki.

It was equivalent to asking the two men to hand over an original painting, but the two of them directly copied another one, directly on the original.

However, what made La feel relieved was that both of them covered it with their own "powers". For example, a faint golden electric current could be seen flashing on the surface of Osi's clothes.

This was beyond La's expectations. After all, she had only said that her clothes were woven with divine power, but she did not say that she also applied the power of fire to it to ensure a comfortable temperature - this involved more advanced energy control.

[I didn't expect them to notice this. They're really thoughtful.]

Although in La's opinion, the arrangement of the two's divine power and the micro-manipulation of their authority were still very crude, and completely incomparable to her natural flaming dress, La was still very pleased with their proactive attempts.

At least we have subjective initiative, right?

What she didn't know was that this was actually discovered by Xianjin, who was extremely sensitive to fire. After knowing this, Osi and the others probably thought, "Don't be too perfunctory," so they also copied him and added their own powers.

However, even if you take shortcuts, it is still not easy to complete this dress.

Forget about divine power, it's also about stably bestowing power on clothes... This sounds simple, but the control required to dynamically control this energy, to keep it stimulated while not damaging the actual clothes inside, is also quite terrifying.

At least going from being able to simply release power to the current level within a week is a huge improvement for both of them.

Facts have proved that when people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything, except advanced mathematics.

But when God is pushed to the limit, he can even solve advanced mathematics!

La dispersed his own power and watched as the plain dress made of flames and divine power turned into a point of light and disappeared, revealing the golden and indigo "fabric" underneath. It was Osi's thunder and Obei's gale.

"Well, although it's a bit crude, you must have put in a lot of effort to achieve this in such a short time."

[Looks like there's a play!]

Hearing what La said, Osi and Obei's eyes lit up and they looked at her hopefully.

……

……

……

"Let's just say you passed." After a long silence, La let the two of them pass the test.

"Great!" Osi jumped up and hugged Obe next to him.

And Ou Bei, who was tightly entangled, breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was finally at ease.

"But don't be too happy too soon. Letting you go this time doesn't mean you won't have to weave this 'dress' again."

Just like all class teachers would do, after giving a sweet date, they would follow it up with a big stick.

"This assessment will continue until you can truly complete your own clothes. By then, you will be considered as my apprentices, and I will no longer control you."

"I know, I know."

At this time, Osi didn't seem to take it to heart at all. He just wanted to enjoy life today and it would be fine as long as he got through it this time. No one would really read books during the holidays after taking an exam, right?

At least now Osi’s mind is full of going to sea.

"I understand, eldest sister."

On the contrary, Ou Bei was particularly serious this time. After all, if there was no other way, Ou Bei really didn't want to be perfunctory like today.

In her eyes, this 'big sister' who was of the same age as her and came from the same family always took care of her and Osi like an elder.

She saw the shadows of her parents in La more than once, but of course she looked more like her mother.

She always walked ahead of him and Osi, whether in battle or in study... Obei didn't know what the scenery in front of her eyes looked like, or how far into the future her vision was. He wondered if she already had plans for the future in her heart...

Every time Oubei looked up, all he could see was that small golden figure. She blocked out the entire sky and even the sun.

This made her feel at ease, but also conflicted and a little frightened.

She was afraid that if the figure in front of her disappeared one day, and then faced with completely unfamiliar scenery, would she have the courage to continue walking?

She wanted to be someone she could recognize, a sister who wouldn't hold her back, a sister who could walk alongside her.

[Next time, I won’t let you down again. Big sister…]

Chapter 47 Going to sea

"Wuhu~"

On a large ship on the sea, Osi was running back and forth excitedly along the edge of the deck like a husky returning to its rural hometown for the New Year.

This was her first time to go out to sea by boat. Before, she had only rowed a duck boat on the small lake in the park.

The boundless sea made Osi feel cheerful. Although the sea he saw from Kaido's flame cloud was also spectacular, it was still possible to feel the waves and grandeur of the ocean more clearly from a normal perspective.

"Osi, stop running around like a child. So many people are watching us. How about being more decent?" Oubei, who was standing aside, was leaning calmly against the railing, holding a glass of juice in his hand and quietly admiring the scenery of the sea.

At this time, she had changed her clothes. She was no longer wearing a plain long skirt, but a loose dark blue children's shirt and a pair of black trousers, plus a sleeveless white windbreaker of the same style as the president.

The slightly larger gold-framed sunglasses hanging on the neckline look casual and fashionable.

The sea breeze with a light blue scent blew from behind, causing her hair to dance along with the stand-up collar of her white coat.

The slightly mature clothing matched with her delicate and childish face created a strange beauty in the incongruous look... undoubtedly a movie-quality picture.

"I'm just a child now, why should I be decent... But you, why are you posing over there alone?" Osi also changed into new clothes, a red T-shirt with white shorts, and a long white coat, which made him look neat and tidy.

"I'm savoring this voyage." Ober gently shook the juice in his hand, his posture becoming more and more leisurely.

"Come on, stop pretending. You were obviously more excited than me when you first got on board, but you ran away without noticing, and now you have the nerve to criticize me."

"I was just curious about the structure of the ship at the time. I conducted my investigation with the mindset of a researcher."

"Ha~"

"Hahahaha, alright, alright! Stop bickering." Burfat appeared at the right time and interrupted their daily kissing.

"Take a look at my ship, the Bullfighter. It has more guns than any other naval vessel! Its power is just as great."

Bullfight's ship, the "Bullfight", is one of the only five large ships currently owned by the Beasts Pirates.

The other four ships are Kaido and King's vehicles and two large supply ships, which are commanded by the two combat team captains under Burfat and King.

It has to be said that as a car for cadres, the appearance of the "Bullfighting" is very recognizable.

The prow of the ship is carved with a lifelike bull, whose long horns serve as the ship's ramming horns, seemingly made of metal. The sides of the ship are decorated with fish scales, and the stern is shaped like a mermaid's tail.

In the center of the ship stands a huge mainmast with the sails painted with the distinctive skull pattern of the Beasts Pirates, and there is also a small pirate flag on the watchtower at the top.

"Can you fire a few shots at me then, Uncle Burfat?" Osi's eyes sparkled as he looked at the cannons on the ship.

"You little brat! Do you know how to call my name now? Call it a few more times, and I'll feel comfortable listening to you. Then I'll let you beat me to your heart's content!"

"Really? Uncle!"

"Of course! Bomb, take this girl to the lower level later and teach her how to aim and fire." Burfat pointed at Osi and said to the captain of the artillery team.

"Leave it to me, boss."

"Yeah~Thanks, Uncle Burfat."

"Hahahaha, okay, go ahead." Burfat rubbed Osi's little head and laughed, then thought of Obe.

"By the way, blue-haired brat, do you want to go and fire a few shots too?"

"No, I have no interest in this old-fashioned artillery."

Obe shook her head. To her, antiques like smoothbore cannons really had no appeal. Compared to this, she was more interested in the laser gun she had seen at Sean.

"Really? Then just do as you please." Seeing that the other party was not very interested, Burfat didn't say anything else.

"By the way, where is our destination this time?" asked Ou Bei.

"It's Fenrir Island, not far from here. We need to seize that island and some of its surrounding islands when Kaido and his men attack Beehive Island."

"I see we are not moving very fast. Aren't you in a hurry?" Ober noticed that the ship had unfurled a mainsail.

"That's right, Boss Kaido will first go to the Totland Sea to meet up with Golden Lion and the others, and then they will land on Beehive Island together. This will take about two days.

We only need to reach the vicinity of Fenrir Island within two days. If we arrive too early, we will be vulnerable to enemy attacks.

It will be much easier for us to attack them when their reinforcements have mostly left. You must join us then. This is a rare opportunity, so let the two of you see some blood."

Burfat explained in detail and told Obe that she and Osi would also take action this time, so she asked them to be mentally prepared first.

"Did you see blood?"

Ou Bei lowered his head and looked at his hands. His palms were small and white, without a single flaw.

After all, it was a figurine he had made with his own hands, and then brought to life with the power of the gods, so naturally every part of it was flawless.

"Has this day finally come? It's coming sooner than I thought. I wonder if Ossi can adapt."

During the past few days when eating in the cafeteria, Ouba often heard the pirate group members talking about their previous battles, and they spoke as if they were already accustomed to taking lives.

She listened to all this silently, and imagined herself participating in it.

Ou Bei knew that if she continued to stay in this world, her hands would be stained with blood sooner or later, and she had made up her mind.

Without dwelling on this matter for long, Obe was soon attracted by Osi's shouting.

"Oubaubae! Look, it's a cannonball! It's a real, round cannonball! I've only seen it in cartoons."

Osi, who was childish at heart, had forgotten the quarrel she had just had with Obe, and came to the deck holding a cannonball bigger than her head.

"Uncle Burfat, are these shells solid?"

"Of course not. Solid shells don't have much power. They're filled with gunpowder. They'll explode as soon as they hit the enemy ship."

"Oh? It's not a solid lead bullet?"

Hearing that the structure was different from what he had imagined, Obe became slightly interested. He took the cannonball from Osi's arms and began to study it.

"Hmm~ It's true that only the thin outer layer is metal, and the inside is filled entirely with gunpowder... Does it rely on impact to create the explosion?

But how do we solve the problem of chamber explosion? Or is there some other special structure..."

Ou Bei knocked the cannonball in his arms and began to mutter to himself.

"Uh...what's wrong with that blue-haired kid? Why is he chanting while holding a cannonball?"

"Don't worry about her. She'll talk to herself like this whenever she encounters something she can't figure out. She'll figure it out after a while.

"I'm a little hungry, Uncle Burfat, what are we having for lunch? Stop eating steak all the time, I'm a little tired of it~"

"You little brat, you're lucky to have something to eat at sea, yet you're still picky.

Do you know that even in the member states of the World Government, many citizens can't even afford to eat wild vegetables? Especially after paying the annual "Heavenly Gold"?
