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

Oh, by the way! It would be best if the locals are good at blacksmithing."

He clapped his hands and said jokingly.

I don’t know if she was trying to make up for her previous indifference, but her tone was very lively and lively when she said this.

"Does it also require the king of that place to invite me over and be enthusiastic about cooperating with us?"

Burfat also heard the joking in La's words, so he laughed too.

"Exactly so~"

La ended his teasing with a smile, then said to Kaido seriously:

“I’m sorry, Captain Kaido.

Just like the taller the house, the deeper the foundation needs to be. If you rush for success, you may end up failing.

Time cost is the most difficult cost to save and the cost that should not be saved.

If nothing unexpected happens that is favorable to us, then twenty years is the minimum time.

Not to mention anything else, even building a simplest weapons factory now would take us a year or two to save up the money..."

"You mean if we have enough money now, we can shorten the time?" Jhin asked.

"Well, if the money can be directly provided, then the time spent on laying the foundation can be shortened.

But the fastest way to accumulate wealth right now is, as I said before, to develop territory and expand trade."

"There is another way, which is to directly rob the treasures of other big pirates."

Kaido narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking of the figure he had already forgotten.

"Hey~ It would be great if gold suddenly fell from the sky..."

Ossi, who was a little bored, put his head on the table and said with his face tilted.

Oubei had finished her cake and she wanted to leave.

"Hahaha~ Gold falling from the sky! I had the same dream when I was your age. I remember it was in Fishman Street..."

Before Burfat could finish his words, a pirate suddenly came in shouting to report.

"Report! Captain, we've spotted several unidentified pirate ships off the coast. The leader of the ships is clamoring to see you and Brother Burfat."

"Hmm? Is he here to seek refuge? Or is he someone you know, Burfat?"

Kaido looked at Burfat, after all, the visitor specifically mentioned his name.

"An acquaintance... Could it be Tiger?" Burfat thought of his childhood friend in Mermaid Street.

"What does that man look like? Is he a merman? Did he tell me his name?" Burfat continued to ask the pirate who came to report.

"Um, um... I'm sorry, Boss Burfat, they were a bit far away and I couldn't see their faces clearly.

But he doesn’t seem to be a murloc, he seems to say his name is… something like Scape or something.”

……

Don't doubt it, it's not a wrong message.

This free chapter of 16,000 words is my explosive update, and it is all my saved drafts.

The subscription chapters will be officially released starting tomorrow.

Actually, the main reason is that you may find these background settings boring, but I would feel itchy if I don’t write them, so I put them all in the free chapters.

Chapter 89: Unexpected Request for Help

"Scapgate!"*2

After hearing the report from their pirates, Burfat and Jin said the name almost at the same time.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the name."

The pirate nodded.

"What's going on? Didn't you say he was dead?" Jhin looked at Burfat in confusion.

"That's right! I saw him sink into the sea with my own eyes. Logically speaking, a person with special abilities like him shouldn't be able to survive..."

"No one jumped into the water to save him! Could it be a ghost?"

Burfat was also a little bit unbelievable.

"Why bother with so much? Just go out and take a look and you'll know."

Kaido walked out of the hall nonchalantly and followed the pirate towards the dock.

Seeing this, Jin and Burfat hurriedly followed.

"Sister La, Sister La, let's go too. I haven't seen a ghost yet~"

Seeing that the boring meeting was finally over, Osi quickly thought of coming to see what was going on.

"Me too."

Ou Bei also stood up, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Then let's go together." La sorted out the papers in his hand and followed the crowd.

……

"Oh my god, it really is Skepgate! How on earth did that guy survive?!"

Arriving at the dock, Burfat saw from afar several obviously damaged pirate ships parked not far from the shore.

A man with an afro was standing on the bow of one of the ships.

"Let them come."

Kaido also knew Skygate, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he let it go ashore.

Several pirate ships staggered and landed at the dock with difficulty.

Before the anchor was dropped, Skepgate jumped overboard with a dozen men.

Seeing this, Burfat immediately came over.

"Haha, how did you survive..."

Bang!

Bang bang...!

Before Burfat could finish his words, Skepgate suddenly knelt down and knocked his head heavily on the ground!

The people behind him also followed Skepgate, and each of them had their heads broken and bleeding.

"I beg Lord Kaido to avenge my elder brother!"

Skepgate lowered his head and pleaded solemnly and earnestly, his voice choked with sobs.

The pirates behind him also pleaded.

"We beg Lord Kaido to avenge our boss!"

"This this!"

Seeing the scene before him, even Burfat was at a loss for a moment.

Jin calmly said at this moment:

"Scapgate, if I remember correctly, we were enemies. You've just managed to escape death, yet you still dare to come looking for us."

Upon hearing this, Skepgate did not refute, but continued to kowtow:

"I understand that we are enemies, and I can give you my life at any time!"

"But before that, I implore you to agree to my request!"

"We have no reason to help you." Jhin's words were still cold.

"Please!"

Skepgate knocked his head hard again, and blood splattered on the ground.

"Hey, tell me what happened first."

Burfat had recovered by now, but seeing Skepgate's attitude, he couldn't bring himself to kill him again.

"Boss Kaido, do you think this is okay?"

"That's fine. I want to hear what happened, too. As you said, that fellow For was dead?"

Kaido had a very good impression of the loyal and heroic man and had invited him many times.

But every time the other party flatly refused.

When Skygate saw Kaido nod, he quickly raised his head:

"My eldest brother was killed by that guy John. At that time..."

……

Back to when Scapgate fell into the water——

Near Fenrir Island, several obviously damaged pirate ships were floating aimlessly on the sea. They were the fleet accompanying Fore to the Beehive Island for support.

"Damn it! Where have we been blown to? We've been here all day and still can't find our way!"

A pirate on the ship hammered the mast hard, and the already battered pirate ship creaked again.

Seeing this, a pirate who looked like a leader quickly stepped forward to stop it.

"Be gentle! If you break the mast, I'll kick you into the sea and make you drag the boat along!"

The pirate withdrew his hand awkwardly upon hearing this, but his face was still anxious.

"Captain, how can you still be so calm? We need to find Brother Forer and the others right now!"

"I know, I know~ I'm just trying to figure it out~"

"Is the third one back?"

The man called Captain lit a cigarette and asked if the pirates he had sent out to check the damage had returned.

"Not yet. Third Brother is on another ship now. It seems the damage over there is quite heavy."

The pirate pointed at a ship not far away that was already somewhat shaky.

"Then wait for him to come back."

While everyone was waiting, they suddenly heard someone shout:

"Look, over there! That looks like Fenrir Island! We've been blown back."

The pirates on the ship looked in the direction the man pointed, and sure enough, they saw the iconic wolf-shaped volcano on Fenrir Island on the sea level in the distance.

"Really! Captain!"

The pirate who had just pounded the mast saw the familiar island and immediately turned around to look at the captain.

"Well, now the only thing we can do is return to the island and find a way to contact Brother Forle."

"Send a flag signal to let the other two ships follow." The leading pirate also made a decision immediately.

"We can also go back and get an eternal pointer to Beehive Island. We can go directly to Beehive Island. Boss Forle might be there."

A pirate added.

The leading pirate nodded and then shouted to the helmsman who was already in position.

"Hey! Turn the rudder and let's go back to Fenrir Island."

"Oh, alright."

Upon hearing this, the helmsman immediately adjusted the course, but before he touched the rudder, a dark brown-skinned man climbed up from the side of the ship with a rope tied to him.

"Hmm? Third brother, you're back. How's the situation? How many people are injured?"

"Never mind that for now! Captain, look who this is!"

As soon as the big brown man got on the boat, he pulled the rope on his body upwards until he pulled a humanoid creature onto the boat.

The humanoid creature was tall and had a big afro on his head, but it was no longer fluffy because it had been soaked in water.
