Following that, this sea monster 'Chupacabra' actually 'came to a sudden halt' on the surface of the sea. Disregarding everything else, it slapped against the waves as it turned and fled with all its might.
Witnessing such an unimaginable scene, the pirates naturally couldn't help but be dumbstruck for a moment. Instead, Sheyan and the rest had witnessed far more bizarre occurrences before. They instantly reacted, and refused to let go of such a golden opportunity to beat a drowning dog. While unleashing a frenzied assault, they cursed with all their might, urging the pirates to continue their relentless pursuit.
Although the final outcome of the chase wasn't to slay the Chupacabra on the spot, a powerful 'Hinge Bullet' struck the enemy's mast, and by a stroke of luck, forcibly severed the Chupacabra's crocodile-like tail!
Amidst the mournful howls of the Chupacabra, fresh blood dyed the nearby seawater red. Seizing the opportunity, the Chupacabra dived into the depths of the sea. Following that, the crew cheered as they transported the severed tail back to the ship.
The thickest part of the bloody tail was akin to a wine barrel, and the length of the severed tail was close to 6 metres. The skin on its surface was exceedingly tough and thick. Judging from its profile, it was at least 2 centimetres thick. Moreover, the rope-like scarlet muscles were still twitching incessantly, displaying the immense explosive strength contained within.
When Sheyan's finger came in contact with this object, he instantly received a notification from the realm – [Unknown object, awaiting appraisal].] Although this battle appeared to be a failure at the last step, it definitely wasn't a wasted effort.
Following that, Sheyan arranged for several sturdy pirates who were adept in water to ride ahead on the lifeboat. At present, they were no longer fearful of the previous legends, and successively dived into the sea with all their might. Using their sabers, they sliced apart the intertwined roots of the gigantic black web of sargassum. One-eyed Blacksail was in charge of this matter. Once they encounter any unexpected variables, he should be able to easily deal with them.
Noteworthily, the vitality of these gigantic sargassum was exceedingly tenacious. Hence, if they were easily sliced apart, it would only take a few minutes for them to recombine back together. Therefore, the pirates behind Sheyan and the rest wouldn't be able to reap any benefits.
As an expert in maritime management, Sheyan was exceedingly clear of the principle of tension and relaxation. Seizing this opportunity where the Hill Maiden could only slowly sail forward, he left behind a necessary number of guards. Then, he brought out the plundered rum and dried meat and other food, and conducted a brief celebratory banquet. Allowing the pirates to rest and relax.
Of course, this command was unanimously supported by the pirates. They started cheering, before swiftly entering a resting state. Under such humid weather, the delicious jerky was roasted till it sizzled with oil. After taking a bite, they fiercely gulped down a mouthful of rum, allowing the spicy sensation to spread from the surface of their skin to their limbs and bones ….. such a pleasurable sensation could only be felt and not described with words.
. Sheyan's a's's's's's's... While he was that, Sheyan's's's, Sheyan ''s a's's to's's.... is the.. of his that, Sheyan's's, the pirates's's a Peace.'s's the ship's s...... Observing that the situation was exceedingly good, Sheyan decided to return to the ship's cabin to formulate a plan for their arrival at Tortuga.
After Sheyan took several steps towards the ship's cabin and was about to open the door, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter erupting from a group of pirates not far away. Very quickly, one of them groaned with a flushed face as he earnestly exclaimed.
"You ….. dumb dumb dumb donkeys! I-I-I really know, what method did boss use to chase away that big guy! "
"Hahahaha, don't boast. You were on the mast's' lookout right? You didn't even scratch off half a scale of that freak!" Several pirates simultaneously mocked him.
That lookout angrily retorted.
"Precisely because I was on the mast's', I could see more clearly than you guys! I don't know what method boss used, but he summoned Paul! Or at least, it's Paul's mirage! "
"Paul?" A pirate asked suspiciously. "Fuck, there are at least a million Pauls in this damned world. Who are you referring to?"
"Don't tell me it's that Paul?" One of the drunken pirates seemed to have suddenly sobered up, and his voice became mysterious. "Nightmare Paul? Davy Jones' Paul? "
The group of pirates were speechless, their eyes brimming with dread. As long as one had been a pirate for a long time, they would definitely have heard of the terrifying legend of that gigantic octopus in the bar. In the caribbean sea, the frequency of this freak being mentioned was much higher than Davy Jones. Because in any case, the Flying Dutchman was still a ship. Although this ship was extremely formidable and strange, Kraken Paul was still an invincible existence in the depths of the sea!
That lookout started to become complacent.
"That's right! Olyt, I feel like I have to correct your mistake in addressing it. Please address it as the Guardian God Paul! To other unlucky pirates, this gigantic octopus freak is still an unsolvable nightmare. But to us, it has already transformed into our Guardian God! "
Speaking till here, that lookout realized his words had successfully attracted the attention of his surrounding companions. After fiercely gulping down a mouthful of rum, he started to dance with joy in excitement.
"I personally witnessed it from the mast. Just as that Chupacabra was about to capsize the ship, Boss pulled out an exceedingly valiant single barrelled flintlock from the sea and aimed it at that fellow. In that instant, the seawater around Boss miraculously congealed. Oh, it's an indescribable sensation. It was as though the seawater had suddenly congealed into a translucent gelatinous substance! I swear on my mother's and father's graves, that mass of seawater was an incomparably gigantic octopus!! "
"Woah! That's too cool!! "
"No wonder that freak fled in panic!"
"The mighty Paul's tentacle sucked out the Chupacabra's brain with just a single suction cup!"
“.....”
Listening till here, Sheyan had a sudden realization. He knew that this pirate was speaking the truth. This was also the only explanation for the Chupacabra's swift escape. According to Sheyan's analysis, Octopus Paul had very possibly crossed the threshold of a tier-7 legendary creature, and was now a tier-8 existence. In the water, he could possibly exhibit the might of a tier-9!
Therefore, when a mere tier-3 legendary creature encountered such an unrivalled freak, even if it was an illusion, it would naturally be scared witless and flee. This was the same logic as a dog going limp after smelling a tiger's piss.
The reason for Octopus Paul's illusion to appear, was ultimately because of the weapon 'Ambition'. Previously, when Sheyan obtained it, he had obtained it through Octopus Paul's roulette.
Back then, when he had just joined the Flying Dutchman, it was impossible for him to obtain the complete trust of Davy Jones. Therefore, for the sake of caution, Davy Jones or Octopus Paul might have left their personal imprint or tampered with the weapon. Once they discovered that Sheyan was a spy or wanted to harm the Flying Dutchman, they could retrieve the weapon at any time.
Naturally, the domineering power of the realm had isolated the soul imprint of the weapon. Therefore, when Sheyan returned to this world and pulled out 'Ambition', Davy Jones and Octopus Paul would naturally trigger Davy Jones and Octopus Paul. Moreover, Davy Jones and Paul's strength should be even more formidable now. Therefore, the aura they leaked out was sufficient to cause the Chupacabra to flee in panic.
Honestly speaking, Sheyan had a clear conscience and didn't let Davy Jones down. At the crucial juncture, his hint had caused Zi's plan to fall short of success. Therefore, when he returned to this world, he dared to use the guise of the Flying Dutchman to make a high-profile appearance.
After understanding the crux of the matter, Sheyan's heart was suddenly enlightened. Moreover, he didn't stop the lookout from adding oil and vinegar to his narration. This was because, undoubtedly, it was extremely beneficial for Sheyan to maintain his rule on the ship.
At this moment, Blacksail had returned with several pirates leading the way. His entire body was dripping wet, and the skin of his hands and feet were filled with greyish black scars left by the Gigantic Sargasso. The edges were swollen red; evidently, he had suffered quite a bit. Following that, Blacksail presented a spotlessly white plate to Sheyan. On the plate were six black thorn-like fruits that faintly emitted a green glow. With one look, one could tell they weren't ordinary fruits.
"This is the fundamental reason why the Gigantic Sargasso Algae would obstruct the sea route at this moment."
Blacksail slightly bent his knees and respectfully explained to Sheyan.
"During this season, the Satmos Gulf will bring in large quantities of plankton, fishes and shrimps to the nearby sea. This signifies an abundance of food, sufficient nutrients and warm water. Such a stable temperature is extremely beneficial for the reproduction of plants. Therefore, the Hair of the Dead will choose this period to surface in a high-profile manner, and rapidly produce fruits to reproduce. As everyone knows, creatures in their mating season will always appear unreasonable and insane."
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"So these are their fruits?"
Blacksail nodded and replied.
"In the entire Caribbean sea, only a handful of individuals know of this profound mystery. I am one of them. Of course, sire has now joined my ranks as well."
Sheyan pondered and asked.
"Then, that beast known as the Chupacabra is also here for the sake of this fruit? It views these fruits as its exclusive property, and the reason it launched an assault on us, is obviously because we intruded into its hunting territory.
