Golden Ocean, St. Domingo Island, Malone Harbor.
This was the largest pirate harbor in the Golden Ocean. After the former Pirate King of the Golden Ocean, "Oathbreaker," Bradley's massacre and incorporation, it was once completely destroyed.
However, in the Fog Sea, the Ancient God's maze game, the Pirate King Bradley unfortunately became the "son" of the God of Mazes, Aihort. Thus, the enormous pirate crew under his command was scattered like the wind.
Due to its superior geographical location, this pirate harbor became prosperous again. It once again became the largest stronghold of wild pirates, privateers, adventurers, sea hunters, mercenaries, and all kinds of criminals outside of Shipwreck Bay.
In a gin tavern that was close to the harbor and had all kinds of services.
Ding!
"Come, let's have a drink! James, did you really see a rainstorm pouring from the sea to the sky? "
There were too many strange things in this sea. A rainstorm that reversed gravity was just a topic for them to talk about. Although a group of sea hunters at the bottom of the great voyage ecosystem were drinking and chatting, none of them realized that behind that strange phenomenon, there were secrets that countless big shots yearned for.
A young Sea Hunter with a headscarf wrapped around his head raised his wine glass and poured a large mouthful of rum into his mouth before he exhaled a mouthful of fragrant alcohol.
"Ha! How could it be fake? As soon as we got close to the 'Scar of the Sea,' Fitchazi Abyss, we encountered a very abnormal rainstorm. If it weren't for the favorable wind direction at that time, we probably wouldn't have been able to come back.
At that time, it was as if a huge vortex had appeared in the sky. Even a gray whale passing by was sucked into a large colorful light spot in the sky. It was really terrifying.
Those cowards who were on the same ship with me had already gone their separate ways as soon as they returned to the west coast of the New Continent. They were completely scared out of their wits by the terrifying astronomical phenomenon in the Shattered Star Sea.
But I, James, am different! I want to reorganize people to attack the 'Scar of the Sea,' find a stable route to connect the Shattered Star Islands and the New Continent, and expand the territory of the human world again! "
At this point, the young man who was already drunk waved his arms in high spirits.
The "Scar of the Sea" was the deepest oceanic trench that had ever been explored by mankind. It was 3,550 kilometers long and was in the shape of an arc protruding toward the New World. It had an average width of 120 kilometers, and most of the areas were more than 8,000 meters deep.
The pitch-black seawater there was definitely a nightmare for people with deep-sea phobia.
Moreover, there were all kinds of unimaginable dangers in the dark depths of the water. Although it was only 120 kilometers, the number of exploration ships that had come here and passed through safely was definitely not more than half of the total number.
It was needless to say that the closer they were to the central area of the Shattered Star Ocean, the more chaotic the water currents, wind, geomagnetism, weather, and other sea conditions that were extremely unfriendly to human beings.
Many adventurers saw this place as the natural boundary between the human civilization of this era and the wilderness.
To be able to pass through the 'scar of the ocean' and return safely was already a proof of the courage, strength, and luck of the adventurers. It was enough for them to brag about in the tavern for the rest of their lives.
James's probing operation at the edge of the Fitchazi Sea Abyss had earned him three days of free rum with this novel encounter. As for whether he would really make a breakthrough in the future?
He would brag about it first and talk about the rest later.
"Hahaha, that's right. I wish our Mr. James will be able to fulfill his wish and obtain endless honor, wealth, and beauties after successfully opening a new route!"
"To our great Sea Hunters. Don't forget about us after you become rich."
"The honor of the Sea Hunters comes from the sea!"
However, just as the group of people were drinking, singing, and imagining a beautiful future …
Boom!
The wooden door of the Gin Tavern suddenly burst open. Wood splinters flew everywhere, and a group of drinkers who were licking blood from their knives threw away their wine glasses without hesitation. Because no one could be sure if it was their enemy who had come to find them.
Tap … tap … tap …
Steel boots crushed the wooden planks. A group of Knight in Knight armor with a long sword at their waist and a fiery red cape around their neck stepped in.
"Which one of you is the Sea Hunter who just returned from the Shattered Star Ocean? Please come with us."
Although they said so, their feet did not stop at all. They walked straight to a group of drinkers who were hiding under the table. The powerful aura under the armor was like a volcano that was about to erupt. Wherever they passed, the customers in the tavern would dodge. No one dared to block them.
In particular, the fiery red Dou Qi flame on the fist of the leader that was gradually dissipating caused the group to be terrified. The "friends" that were originally surrounding the topic's main character had already fled as fast as they could as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Only the Sea Hunter James, the main character of the incident, was left sitting on the ground. Cold sweat gradually dripped from his forehead. He was already half awake. His lips trembled as he spat out a word, "Great … Great Knight!"
A palm with an iron glove was about to reach his shoulder, but this Sea Hunter who considered himself to be extraordinarily courageous did not even dare to dodge.
At this moment, a series of disorderly but equally oppressive footsteps came from outside the tavern again.
A somewhat gloomy voice then sounded in the ears of everyone in the tavern.
"People of the Volcano Knight Regiment, stop. This person … we, the Oath-Breakers, want him!"
As soon as the voice fell, a group of powerful Transcendents who did not even wear the same uniform but were shrouded in a gloomy and bloody aura stepped into the tavern.
The leader of the Volcano Knight Regiment turned his head and sneered when he saw the newcomers.
"Blackwing Cult, you gutter rats, also want to go to that place to get a share of the loot?"
Clearly, these two groups of people were equally domineering. One group was the Volcano Knight Regiment of the Church of Eternal Fire. Judging from the location of the Golden Sea, they should belong to the Church of Cinder, which belonged to the Protestant Church. The other group was the Oath-Breakers, the armed force of the Blackwing Cult in the New World.
At this moment, although the Volcano Knight Regiment's Great Knight spoke with contempt, his eyes gradually turned solemn.
He knew very well that although it was ridiculous to use the spirit of a Knight to restrain a group of criminals, these Oath-Breakers did indeed walk the path of the Eight Great Virtues of a Knight.
It was just that each of the Eight Great Virtues had a different interpretation.
It was just like one of the commanding officers of the Oath-Breakers, the former Pirate King Bradley, who walked the path of [Honor].
[Honor] was supposed to be the recognition of the gods and the people, but when it came to him, it was like the reverse of the tarot cards. It had become the crazed pursuit of fame and power, and he enjoyed the high position of being respected by the people.
Moreover, as long as he himself agreed that it was [Honor], no matter how deviant he was, it would not have any negative impact on his path as a Knight.
It could be said that for a Transcendent power like combat aura that was rooted in one's will, the more stubborn and stubborn it was, the stronger it was!
One of them had the backing of the Golden Sea and the ruler of St. Domingo Island, the Shilius Empire (East and West). The other relied on the omnipresent spies among the pirates to find this fellow who knew the location of the Clock Tower ahead of everyone else.
However, this advantage of being the first to act was fleeting. If they accidentally killed this Sea Hunter during the battle, it would be difficult to find the crew on the same ship as him.
To Extraordinaires, whether it was through witchcraft divination or the revelation of the gods, the accuracy could not be too high. At most, they could only obtain the general time and location. The "last kilometer" still required the Holy Knight to solve it themselves.
Falling behind by a step was a small matter, but failing the mission was a big matter!
Moreover, it was not just the few churches that were eyeing the Clock Tower. The others would soon come knocking on their door.
Just as the two parties were in a cold standoff and the atmosphere was gradually becoming stifling …
Suddenly …
Exclamations sounded from the port not far away from the tavern.
"Look, it's the flagship of the Dragon Calvary, the Morning Star!"
"It's so fast!"
"That's … the Pirate King Emerald Light!"
“.....”
Soon, the footsteps of a large group of people approached the tavern from afar.
The tall and fit Anita was in the lead. The three female pirates wearing Venom armor, Jasmine, Jenna, and Jeraldine, surrounded her.
Hundreds of pirates from Malonggang spontaneously followed behind them and came here together. It was a black mass with a great momentum. It was obvious that the "Emerald Light", who was now sitting at the top of the Golden Sea, had a much better reputation among the pirates than before.
Scanning the scene in the tavern, especially the two churches that were in a standoff, Anita had already figured out the current situation.
Boom!
The female Knight took down the Dragon Slaying Sword that was as tall as a person and smashed it into the floor with its scabbard. Traces of Dragon's Might had already spread out. She crossed her arms and said calmly,
"Everyone, can you give me some face?"
Oathbreaker: Uh …
Volcano Knight: Ugh …
It had been half a year since the "War of Rebellion" that shook the continent last year. Under the witness of tens of thousands of participants from both sides, Anita had once transformed into a real giant dragon to fight against a Level Four titular monster.
That kind of shocking battle record was no longer a secret.
Especially to the upper echelons of the various forces on the continent, the Emerald Light's strength was only below Level Four. This was already a consensus among everyone. Not to mention, there was a ruthless person behind her who used Level Four blood to forge a fierce reputation for himself. Therefore, this face … must be given!
"After you!"
"Lady Emerald Light, please!"
The people from both sides opened up a path for Anita.
Three minutes later.
Amidst James' continuous thanks and the cheers of the pirates outside the door.
Anita, who had obtained the information, pinned a sea map with the specific location of the anomaly to the tavern's wall. If they wanted to find the Clock Tower, they didn't need to make things difficult for a small sea hunter who wasn't even an Extraordinary.
After all.
This sea hunter wasn't the only crew member who had encountered the anomaly. Perhaps he was the highest-profile one among them. The specific location in the modern world couldn't be hidden.
It was better to go with the flow and maintain the order of the pirates under the rule of the Pirate King.
Perhaps they could even obtain the additional effect of the Face Fruit.
In the face of the might of the Church, at least this time, the pirates had won!
In the next few days.
This major event that hadn't happened in a hundred years in the Transcendent World slowly opened its curtains, stirring up the winds and clouds everywhere.
Whoosh —
On the new continent, fast sailing ships set sail one after another, sailing in the direction of the "Sea Scar." No one could be sure of the time between the appearance of the Clock Tower and its complete activation. No one dared to delay the slightest.
"Plum, let's go and meet up with the Theseus first."
"Yes, Sir Captain!"
The Legendary Warship — Miracle Crown that carried all the members of the adventure team quietly disappeared from the surface of the sea amidst the flying emerald butterflies.
At the same time, at least a dozen sailing ships from the Shattered Stars Islands on the other side of the "Sea Scar" slowly headed east.
