A Beyonder was allowed to leave the fleet? Without needing Dhaniz's explanation, Klein easily understood why he found it odd.
In the Nighthawks, even the purely civilian staff were subject to strict restrictions. Normally, they would sign a lifelong confidentiality agreement when they left their jobs. They were not allowed to leave the Nighthawks' jurisdiction without approval. After obtaining approval to move to another city, they had to immediately register with the local Church of Evernight.
From such a rule, one could see the official's attitude towards Beyonder powers and related matters. It was impossible for a Beyonder who had drunk the potion to leave the organization so easily.
Klein clearly remembered that Miss Justice clearly had the means to become a Beyonder, but she wasn't willing to attempt it. The reason she gave was that she didn't want to lose her freedom.
Similar thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't express them. This was because the polite but cold German Sparrow wouldn't be interested in such rumors.
"So what?" Klein looked at the cutlery on the table and calmly asked.
Do you know how to chat!? Blazing Dhaniz secretly took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"Haha, I just find it odd. We all suspect that he has joined MI9 and is monitoring the sea route as a captain."
That's possible … Klein picked up the cup of water and took a sip.
The dishes he had ordered began to be served according to their categories. The restaurant even gave him two cups of sweet, bubbling, pale golden aperitif.
Klein didn't say another word and focused on enjoying the delicacies. He felt that this was indeed much better than the second-class restaurant.
The melodious sound of a violin reverberated in the air, and the slight contact between the cutlery and porcelain plates could be heard. Outside the window, the blue and open sea rippled quietly. Everything seemed so beautiful.
Just as Klein entered the dessert segment, a crew member ran in and rushed to Erland's table.
"Captain, there's a pirate ship!" He didn't hide his voice.
Most of the passengers were shocked and stopped eating.
Klein looked up, his eyes dark and cold as he looked at Dhaniz.
Blazing Danitz stiffened for a second as he smiled bitterly and suppressed his voice.
"If I say this has nothing to do with me, would you believe me?"
Klein relaxed his eyelids that had almost twitched from his performance and slowly curled the corners of his mouth.
"Guess."
I guess you're a son of a bitch! Dhaniz was furious and almost cursed out loud.
He maintained his smile.
"Your wisdom is enough to judge everything."
At this moment, Elland had already quickly asked about the situation. He stood up and said to the flustered first-class passengers, "Captain,
"There's only one pirate ship. We have enough power to deal with it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your rooms in an orderly manner and await the arrival of good news. Believe me, the damage caused by the chaos far outweighs the pirate attack. I do not wish for there to be rumors in the future that although the White Agate successfully repelled the pirates, five or six or seven passengers fell and injured themselves."
Under his arrangements, Donna and the others left the dining hall and returned to their cabins, including Klein and Blazing Dhaniz.
"I thought you would temporarily take over the White Agate and strive to prevent any damage to the ship." In Room 312, Dhaniz closed the door and asked with the mindset of watching a drama.
To be able to immediately throw out an olive branch after discovering a suitable candidate and talk about his principles and treatment was enough to show that he was an extroverted boatswain who was willing to talk.
Klein glanced at him, walked to the window, and looked out. He saw a large ship with a red skull flag sailing towards them. It had a chimney and sails.
"Do you know them?" Klein stood behind the thick glass window with his hands in his pockets.
Dhaniz came diagonally behind him and looked out for two seconds.
"The Red Skull Pirates, a small to medium-sized faction.
"The captain is Sea Wolf Johnson with a bounty of 900 pounds. The first mate is One-Eyed Anderson with a bounty of 500 pounds."
In the world of pirates, bounties were an important reference for status and identity.
Considering that he didn't have good underwater mobility at the moment, and allowing pirates to board the ship could easily cause casualties to innocent people, Klein was silent for a few seconds.
"Do they know you?"
"Of course!" Dhaniz instantly straightened his back. "They are qualified to participate in the gathering of pirates. I once kicked their butts."
As expected of a famous pirate with a bounty of 3,000 pounds … Klein asked again with an unchanged expression.
"Do they have binoculars?"
"This is a necessary item. Even if we control the ship, there will be sailors standing on the lookout deck. Use binoculars to observe the surroundings to prevent a surprise attack, "Dhaniz replied with hidden disdain.
He could tell that this dangerous fellow was a new adventurer, and it was likely his first time at sea.
He used to be a famous bounty hunter? A member of a secret organization? Dhaniz subconsciously guessed German Sparrow's past.
"At this time, will the captain and first mate use binoculars to observe this side?" Klein wanted to use 900 pounds and 500 pounds to refer to them, but he felt that it was a little impolite.
"Definitely. They must always grasp the situation of the target they are plundering," replied Dhaniz, slightly confused.
He didn't understand Gehrman Sparrow's goal in asking these questions. According to his thoughts, if he had the powerful strength of the other party, he would definitely allow the Red Skull pirates to approach, find an opportunity to board their ship, and kill everyone.
Klein turned his head and looked at Dhaniz, revealing a gentle and warm smile.
"That's good."
What do you want to do? Don't smile like that! Dhaniz suddenly panicked and summoned the courage to resist.
"Take off your wig," Klein instructed calmly.
Huh? Dhaniz was puzzled and slowly took off the wig on his head.
Klein took out a special bottle of extract from a secret pocket in his clothes and handed it over.
"Wipe your eyebrows and face clean."
This was the Mystic-type "Makeup Remover" he had prepared for the Clown disguise before he advanced to Faceless. He had used it when he besieged the Wraith from Rose School.
The current Klein naturally no longer needed such things, but he couldn't bear to throw it away.
"…" Dhaniz became more and more puzzled, but before the other party attacked, he didn't want to make it impossible for him to return. He could only follow the instructions and wash off the disguise on his face, returning to his original appearance.
Putting away the metal bottle, Klein opened the window and let the sea breeze in.
"Stand here and face outside." He pointed to the back of the window and said to Blazing Dhaniz.
Dhaniz walked over in a daze and vigilance, standing firmly behind the window.
Klein observed for a few seconds and calmly asked, "You have two choices.
One is to crawl out yourself and hang there in a conspicuous manner, and the other is to be hung there in a conspicuous manner while I'm holding your collar. "
"What do you want to do?" Dhaniz blurted out.
Klein revealed a genial smile again.
"Show you to the pirates. The fourth boatswain of Vice Admiral Iceberg should have enough weight to dissuade them."
"No, I can't do that!" Dhaniz subconsciously chose to refuse.
He could imagine what kind of judgment the Red Skull pirates would make when they discovered him. Either Blazing Dhaniz had been captured and there was a terrifying powerhouse on the ship, or this ship had already been targeted by Vice Admiral Iceberg, and the other pirates had immediately distanced themselves.
And the way I'm hung out will determine what they will think … Dhaniz thought sadly.
Klein smiled even more genially.
"I'm a very easy person to get along with. Really, as long as you do as I say."
At that instant, Dhaniz felt the indescribable hunger again. He felt as if his flesh and soul would be torn apart at any moment.
After weighing the pros and cons for a second, he half-raised his hands, gritted his teeth, and smiled.
"I'll do it myself."
Dhaniz held back his anger and grievance as he turned around and climbed out the window. Relying on his balance and strength that he had honed over the years, he used his elbows as support and hung outside the cabin.
"Don't attempt to escape. I'm not a patient person." Klein's expression turned cold as he gently reminded him.
Phew … Dhaniz resisted the urge to release his elbows and jump down.
On the pirate ship in the distance, the crew member in charge of observing the White Agate sent a message to Sea Wolf Johansson.
"Boss, there's a strange fellow hanging outside the window!"
Johansson was taken aback for a second as he raised his binoculars and held them in front of him.
He quickly discovered the strange fellow that his subordinate was referring to because his position was just too conspicuous.
I-isn't this Blazing Dhaniz? Johansson's eyebrows twitched as he recognized him.
Why would he appear on the White Agate? What's the meaning of him hanging outside? Is this Vice Admiral Iceberg's prey? After a series of questions, Sea Wolf made a judgment.
He raised his right hand and said, "Everyone, take note.
"Everyone, stay away from this area immediately!"
...
Inside Room 305, Cleves gripped his revolver tightly and stood by the window to prevent a possible boarding battle.
Donna's family was a little afraid and didn't return to their respective bedrooms. Instead, they sat in the living room, waiting for the bombardment to begin. Cecil and the other bodyguard, Teague, stood guard by their side, fully on guard.
At that moment, Cleves's slightly aged eyes revealed a puzzled look.
After a few minutes, he took a step back, lowered his gun, and said to everyone,
"The pirates have left."
"What?" This development surprised and puzzled Urdi Branch and the others. They had no idea what the pirates were thinking.
...
Room 312.
Blazing Dhaniz crawled back and snorted uncontrollably.
"You're using our captain's reputation to your advantage! She hates this kind of thing! "
Just wait to be taught a lesson by Vice Admiral Iceberg! Dhaniz thought angrily.
Klein listened quietly and asked thoughtfully, "What's the matter?
"I remember her bounty in Rouen was 26000 pounds?"
… This lunatic … Dhaniz couldn't find the words to respond.
