At present, under Sheyan's carrot and stick, he had already convinced his subordinates wholeheartedly. Moreover, the most miraculous aspect was that his subordinates were distinctly divided into two factions – the former british marines and the pirates. This determined that it would be extremely difficult for both parties to reach an agreement, and even create an awkward situation of a mutiny. (Captain Jack Sparrow raged. Didn't we agree not to mention this matter?!!! Bring it up again and I'll cut off your net!) Therefore, he was exceedingly relieved and delegated his authority. This, in turn, increased the loyalty of the pirates who boarded the other ships.
At present, the northern winds were incomparably ferocious. In addition, the Hill Maiden was still equipped with a rare storyline grade equipment that they plundered from other ships, and Sheyan's' Pirate Captain 'title granted him a 15% movement speed boost. Hence, Sheyan's flagship cruised through the sea with astonishing speed. The razor-sharp' Narwhal Ram 'on the ship's bow bluntly ripped apart the sea breeze and waves. A long white scar was carved out from the stern of the ship, while the sails on the mast protruded out like the breasts of a f * cking beauty.
Under Sheyan's smooth command and dispatch, less than 20 pirates were bustling about on the ship, while the rest were resting. Although their manpower was dwindling, everything appeared much more orderly and orderly. In fact, it was even more efficient than the conventional operations in the hearts of the pirates.
One must understand, this was under the circumstance where Sheyan was the Captain, First Mate and Navigator. Such a situation was indeed astonishing. No wonder Mogensha had overheard whispers from the former british marines, that their 'boss' was more than enough to command an entire fleet.
Throughout the voyage, Sheyan and the rest would occasionally observe contestants riding single-masted lifeboats towards Tortuga at the speed of a tortoise. Sheyan and the rest naturally wouldn't add insult to injury, and naturally wouldn't bring them along. Observing the envious, jealous and hateful gazes of those contestants, Reef and the rest couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority spontaneously arising in their hearts.
As the saying goes, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping firewood. Although those contestants had departed nearly 10 hours earlier, Sheyan merely used 5 hours to overtake them. Naturally, under such circumstances, Party Ace would be the first to reach Tortuga without any suspense.
"Boss, how long do you reckon before we reach Tortuga?" Brother Black strolled to Sheyan's side and asked casually.
Sheyan shook his head.
"I've only seen that damned place on the sea map. I've never been there. I can only tell you that if there are no accidents, it will take about five to six hours."
Brother Black was taken aback.
"So fast. You should know that the Realm gave us a total of forty-eight hours."
Sheyan nodded.
"Those lifeboats aren't slow either. I estimate that they'll need at most 24 hours to get there."
Brother Black pondered for a moment, before he abruptly replied.
"Such a relaxed schedule … … it doesn't seem like the nightmare realm's style at all. Could it be that there are some twists and turns along the way?"
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"I can't rule out this possibility, but as the opening main mission of this world, the difficulty shouldn't be too high. After all, every world couldn't be like the Space Battlefield and start a high-intensity war right from the start. Don't worry, that's why I let most of my men rest. Once they encounter trouble, they can fight in their best condition. "
Mogensha nodded wholeheartedly. After taking a few steps, he suddenly asked.
"Boss, do you plan to use that thing in this world?"
Sheyan replied.
"You're referring to that remnant page of the 'Dead Sea Scroll'?"
Mogensha nodded. Sheyan then took a deep breath and continued.
"That will depend on whether my plan progresses smoothly or not. I wish to use that thing in this world! Because the quality of our ships and sailors can be considered a part of our strength. It can be used to share the difficulty of the mission. This … … is the privilege of the Pirates of the Caribbean world. More importantly, if we obtain the controlling rights of the ships, then it won't be like the Blackthorn tribe in the previous world; weakening and suppressing the rewards we deserve!! "
Brother Black laughed heartily.
"That's right. Those pirates will similarly drop keys when they slay people. I just went to take a look. Although most of the opened treasure chests were trash, they still earned us close to 20,000 utility points. This doesn't include those rare storyline equipments you discovered."
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"It's impossible to sell special storyline equipment. After bestowing them to those pirates, we can still obtain their assistance the next time we enter. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs cannot be done. "
"That's your decision, do your best boss." Brother Black revealed his pearly white teeth and laughed heartily. "I've never seen anything you can't accomplish."
Roughly an hour after the ship sailed, they suddenly heard the shouts of the sailors ahead. As Sheyan walked over, he saw a pirate exclaiming with an astonished expression.
"What the hell, the bottom of the ship seems to have collided with something. Our sailing speed has been slowed down. "
Sheyan immediately asked.
"Is it a submerged reef? I don't recall a dangerous region being marked on the sea chart. "
Canbi shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Boss, your memory isn't wrong. I've sailed this route thrice before, and I've never heard of a ship colliding with a reef."
Sheyan nodded.
"Did someone descend to inspect the ship's bottom?"
As his voice faded, Ol 'Seadog held a knife in his mouth as he agilely crawled up from the ship's bottom. Then, he shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Sir, the ship's bottom is as sturdy as an 18 year old maiden's thigh."
Sheyan pondered a little before replying.
"Light the torches!"
The ship's torches were made from whale blubber, and produced no smoke when ignited. Moreover, they could burn for a long time, and the flames were extremely bright. The only drawback was that the smoke emitted from the torches carried a fishy stench. One of the pirates shone the torches below the ship's bow, and instantly discovered an abnormality on the originally tranquil sea surface. The sea was rapidly churning, as though 7-8 pairs of formless hands were forcefully stirring the sea surface. Moreover, the strength of the force was directed towards different directions.
Sheyan turned to look at Brother Black. Mogensha immediately pulled out his rifle, aimed and pulled the trigger. The scorching hot bullet penetrated deep into the sea in a flash, but not a single drop of blood gushed out.
Very quickly, numerous crisscrossing irregular black lines appeared on the surface of the sea surface, as they slowly crept up the ship's hull. The details couldn't be discerned clearly, as the sea surface surged with turbulent waves, as massive amounts of white bubbles floated out.
Although the sea water here wasn't muddy, due to the reflection of the sea surface at night, one couldn't discern the specific situation below. To be precise, it was as though the sea was boiling, and something was bursting out from within, as though it was trying to devour something!
Sheyan snorted coldly, and loudly commanded.
"Men, stand by the ship's railing, and light more torches!"
At present, Sheyan's prestige was unrivalled, as he issued an order. Almost everyone wholeheartedly obeyed. Swiftly, someone stepped forward. Sheyan tied a rope around his waist, and then spoke to Reef and Mogensha.
"I'll go down and take a look. If I enter a state of near death, immediately pull me up."
The two nodded, while the rest of the pirates were startled. Especially several subordinates who were completely loyal to Sheyan, like Ol 'Seadog and Canbi, they hastily persuaded Sheyan not to take the risk.
According to some veteran pirates, such strange phenomena would occasionally occur in this region of the sea. It was said that the hair of the deceased drifted out from the underworld, hoping to see the moonlight and starlight. Thus, resentment overflowed, and it would linger on the ship. However, it would only delay the ship for a few days, before dispersing. Nevertheless, if one were to enter the water, they would encounter extreme danger.
How could Sheyan have the time to wait for a few days? Thus, he insisted on entering the water. At this moment, a one-eyed pirate volunteered himself, stating that his swimming prowess was exceptional, and was willing to follow his boss to investigate.
This one-eyed pirate was one of the earliest to follow Sheyan. Previously, his performance had been rather mediocre, and one couldn't discern any outstanding points from him. Yet now, he had actually volunteered to guard Sheyan. Evidently, he was agitated by the previous incident. Indeed, the mysterious strength that Canbi had suddenly acquired was coveted by others.
Sheyan was naturally aware of his intentions, but this was precisely what he hoped to see. In this world, Sheyan was most afraid of his subordinates lacking talent, and not his wild ambitions! Sheyan glanced at him and asked.
"What's your name?"
The one-eyed pirate respectfully replied.
"Just call me Blacksail, Sir."
Sheyan nodded. At present, he was racing against time. Without further ado, he directly leapt into the sea. Although this seemed like a risky move, Sheyan had thought it through carefully.
After all, this was a 'B' difficulty world, and was the first mission of the storyline. The difficulty wouldn't be high. Furthermore, Sheyan's swimming prowess in the present world was exceedingly exquisite. Furthermore, his' Pirate Captain 'title granted him an additional 10 minutes of underwater time. Therefore, Sheyan had ample confidence in leaping down, and definitely wasn't acting recklessly.
At present, the seawater was icy cold, and Sheyan shuddered violently as he dived in. However, he quickly recovered. Soon, a splash could be heard from above. It was clear that Blacksail had followed them down. (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes to me.
