Ruth announced to the public that she was the brother of the Lady Boss of Fiery Rose … Louis.
Then, most people actually believed her.
After all, Ruth's behavior did not seem like that of a woman.
But she did not seem like a 100% man either.
With regards to a sissy becoming the first mate of the Queen, there were originally quite a number of ferocious pirates who had some complaints. But when Wang Tiandi lazily raised his claw and waved it twice, those so called 'complaints' turned into all sorts of lame flattery and ass-kissing in the blink of an eye.
Yi Lin did not expect that after showing off in the tavern for half a day, it was this dog that had inexplicably climbed onto the Queen that had completely intimidated this group of pirates.
"Is this considered a temporary team?"
If Wang Tiandi was considered an apostle, then the relationship between the man and the dog in this trial was indeed a temporary team relationship.
Irin stood on the deck, narrowed his eyes, and thought about all this.
"First Mate Louis" had already entered the state at the fastest angle, commanding all the sailors to prepare everything needed for the voyage.
Cannonballs, food, fresh water, rum, and other supplies needed for the voyage.
"The time span of this trial in the Inner World will be very long."
Irin secretly sighed, and secretly pulled the overly tight corset without leaving a trace. He wished he could tear it off and release the almost crushed white bunny.
Being a woman … was too difficult!
The sky was already bright.
In addition to Irin's Queen, there was another ship docked at the port.
— The Octopus.
This was a multi-masted ship that was one level larger than the Queen.
From the Octopus, there seemed to be countless gazes filled with hatred that were transmitted to the Queen through the air, making all the sailors on the Queen work with a nervous expression on their faces.
"Hehe …"
Irin smiled slightly.
"What are you laughing at?"
When Irin let out an inexplicable laugh.
Ruth walked up to the high platform, flirtatiously pulled up a strand of hair that was messed up by the wind, and rolled her eyes at Irin.
Irin was not surprised, and he did not answer Ruth's question.
"First Mate Louis, your actions don't seem right."
"Hehehe —"
Ruth walked over to Irin.
Shoulder to shoulder.
Irin wanted to move away, but after hesitating for three seconds, she decided against it and let Ruth take advantage of her.
Ruth whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "So you took two days off to do this?"
"…"
"Hehe. After you're fully prepared, you show your shocking wealth in my tavern first. Then, you expose your 'dark witchcraft' so that those filthy pirates will be scared of you. Then, you blow up all the other ships at the best opportunity …"
"You have wealth, you have power, and you have a boat … Even I can't help but want to climb into your bed!"
Irin corrected Ruth, "It's a ship."
In the distance, Gou 'zi quietly pricked up his ears.
Indeed.
Ruth roughly summed up Yi Lin's small plan with just a few words.
He spent two days and a large amount of Spiritual Energy Value to sneak onto every pirate ship. He used [Unstable Explosives] to transform something in the pirate ships into a time bomb.
If he had transformed something else, even if it was a 10kg item at the peak, it might not have been able to achieve the effect of sinking a ship in one shot.
But … in the pirate ships, other materials could be scarce, but there was one thing that was stored in piles and piles of boxes.
— Cannonballs.
The cannonballs that the pirates commonly used were the 14-pound cannonball and the 8-pound cannonball.
Irin only needed to place the whole box of cannonballs in a suitable position to explode, and then stuff one of the cannonballs into the box of cannonballs. On the surface, no one would be able to tell anything was wrong.
Moreover, pirates were creatures that liked to be disorderly and lazy. Even if a few boxes of cannonballs were missing, no one would notice for a while, let alone moving the box of cannonballs.
Furthermore, the maximum duration of [Unstable Explosives] was 48 hours. Therefore, during those two nights, Irin was extremely pressed for time, and didn't rest at all.
In addition, the majority of the ships that Irin blew up were pirate ships that the pirates had looted from merchant ships. They didn't have any sentiments, let alone losing their lives for a ship.
Under these various circumstances, Irin exhausted all methods of coercion, bribery, and cutting off the escape route. Finally, he succeeded in acquiring the first ship.
— — as well as the men and dogs on the ship.
All of a sudden.
Ruth's expression turned worried as she pointed towards the 'Octopus' at the other end of the port.
"Sister, although I don't know how you blew up the other ships, but that ship … … didn't sink. If my guess isn't wrong, that ship must be afraid of your 'Dark Sorcery', which is why it didn't dare to attack us at the port. But once it leaves Tortuga Island, I'm afraid … … "
Irin retrieved his pocket watch and calculated the time.
"Ruth, ah no, Chief Officer Louis, pass down the order. We'll set sail in half an hour!"
"Half an hour?"
Ruth gazed suspiciously at the horizon where the sun had yet to rise, as well as the dense fog that had yet to disperse. "Aren't we going to wait till daybreak before setting sail? If we're ambushed while our vision is poor … … "
Irin shook her head. Beneath her mask, her delicate features revealed a confident smirk. Unfortunately, no one could see it.
"Deciding when to set sail is the responsibility of the Captain. As for how to set sail, that's your Chief Officer's responsibility."
Ruth: "???"
Are you the Captain, or am I the Captain???
Towards Irin's blatant act of shirking her responsibilities as a Captain, Ruth's heart was filled with complaints, yet she didn't know where to start.
Hence, she could only silently raise her middle finger towards the direction where Irin left.
“Fuck！”
"Little ones! Seize the time! Give this lady all the strength you've prepared to use on a woman's belly. Ah no, this daddy shall use it! Hurry up and bring up the barrels of 'Fiery Rose'! Unless you don't want the rum anymore! "
"Cannoneers, hurry up! Load all the cannons with shells! Get ready for battle at any time! "
"All the idle sailors, tie them to their positions! Anyone who dares to run around will never be able to board the Queen again! "
"Don't forget! This is the territory of the Skeleton Gentleman Captain who has' Black Witchcraft '! "
"… …"
As Ruth used the name of the 'Skeleton Gentleman' to issue orders, all the pirate sailors worked even faster. Crates of rum were transported out of the tavern and then moved to the Queen's wine cellar and locked.
Ruth used her binoculars to look in the direction of the 'Octopus'.
Her expression gradually became solemn.
… …
… …
Half an hour later.
Irin reappeared.
No one knew when this mysterious Captain appeared. It was as if when they came back to their senses, the mysterious Skeleton Gentleman Captain was already standing on the deck.
He was standing beside their Chief Officer Louis.
"Time's up. Set sail on time."
Ruth was slightly startled. "But, there are still people who haven't boarded the ship … …"
Irin changed his tone and said, "I don't want to say it a third time. Set sail on time."
Fine, you are the Captain. You have the final say.
Ruth was imagining stripping and ravaging this mysterious little sister Rin a thousand times. Her expression remained solemn as she waved her hand. "Raise the anchor!"
* Ka Ka Ka Ka – *
Under the forceful shouts of the sailors, the massive gears of the ship rotated and the massive anchor was slowly raised.
Ruth discerned the direction of the wind.
"Raise the sails!"
“GOGOGO！”
Set sail!!!
The Queen had yet to bathe in the first rays of the morning sun. Borrowing the force of the wind, it gradually left the port of Tortuga Island.
On the other side of the port.
"Ship, Captain! The Queen! The Queen has set sail! "
"Hehe? What a naive Skeleton Gentleman. As I expected, he wants to set sail before dawn. Does he think that I, the great Captain 'Stormy Waves Brady', wouldn't be able to react? HiaHiaHiaHia – "
Stormy Waves Brady let out unbridled laughter. No one knew that back in the tavern, Stormy Waves Brady had impatiently handed over a 'job application' to the Skeleton Gentleman, only to be mercilessly rejected by that damnable pirate Skeleton Gentleman.
That was undisguised humiliation!
Humiliation!
If he hadn't found out later that his Octopus had only been slightly damaged by the explosion instead of being sunk, he would've cried until dawn with his brothers in his arms while drinking rum.
And now … it was time for Stormy Waves' Brady to take his revenge!
He was determined to bury that damn pirate at the bottom of the sea!
"Heh heh heh, little ones! Let's — "
Boom boom boom boom —
Stormy Brady: "?"
The Eight Claws: "?"
The little ones: "?"
"Captain! Not good! Again again again again … again! "
"Where did it explode?!"
Upon hearing the word 'explode', Stormy Waves Bredy shuddered. His eyes suddenly widened, as if they would fall to the deck at any moment.
"Cannonball cabin!"
"F * ck … kkkk! Hurry up and get the wooden bucket! Pour the water out! "
The group of pirates immediately sobbed, "It's too late, Captain! It was about to sink! Wu wu wu — "
"…"
Eight Claws, dead.
His age … wasn't important.
…
…
[Sank the Eight Claws, gained pirate reputation + 2,333!]
[Gained chaos value + 1!]
[Gained chaos value + 1!]
[Gained chaos value + 2!]
[…]
Irin's screen was filled with a series of notifications again.
On the Queen.
All the pirates who had entered battle mode with high spirits witnessed the inexplicable explosion of the Eight Claws and the slow sinking process. They were all dumbfounded and fell into silence.
After an unknown period of time.
Loyal Charlie was the first to react. He shouted hysterically, "Captain Skeleton Gentleman is awesome —"
The pirates said in unison, "Awesome —"
Charlie: "Captain is awesome!"
The pirates said in unison, "Awesome —"
Charlie lowered his head and hesitated for a few seconds. He thought that flattery had to be done in pairs to be flawless.
So Charlie shouted again, "First Mate Louis is awesome!"
The pirates said in unison, "Awesome —"
Ruth: "…"
Irin opened the captain's panel.
[Captain's panel]
[Name] Skeleton Gentleman
[Flag] Gentleman's Flag
[Reputation] 33310000
[Level] Rising Reputation
[Skills] Captain's Divine Vision
[Crew] Ruth Emily, Sax Sparrow … (Click to view details)
[Curse] "Bringing women on board will bring bad luck."
[Fleet] The Queen.
… …
After blowing up the Eight Claws, his reputation level rose by another level.
Irin was in a good mood.
Ruth inched closer, "Darling, you knew this would happen?"
"Call me Captain." Irin took half a step away and seriously corrected Ruth's faulty wording. He maintained a smile, "Guess?"
"Say it ~"
Taking advantage of the cheers downstairs, Ruth clung onto him like an octopus.
"Scram."
Not far away.
Wang Tiandi rolled his eyes and silently covered his dog head with his paws while closing his dog eyes.
The wind rose. The Queen bathed in the morning light and smoothly sailed out of Tortuga Island.
Today was a fine day.
When the Queen successfully set sail, a mission completion notification appeared before Irin's eyes.
[Main mission 1: Successfully join the 'Pirates' or 'Navy' faction and sail into the Caribbean Sea. Current faction: Pirates. Mission completed!]
[Acquired 'Gorgeous Bloodstained Earring'!]
“？”
Turning back.
A card that didn't look special had already appeared in Yi Lin's hand.
On the card.
It was a single earring with gold inlaid earring. The design was extremely gorgeous, but upon closer inspection, the edge of the earring was stained with dried black blood. It was unknown whose blood it was.
Yi Lin frowned. He didn't know if this earring was an item or a piece of equipment, but it made Yi Lin feel a little strange. However, because Ruth was pestering him, Yi Lin didn't have time to study the reward of this main mission for the time being. He put it into his storage space and put it in a corner.
Soon.
The next notification came right after.
… …
[Main mission 2: As one of the 'Nine Pirate Lords', participate in the 'Pirate Conference' that will be held at Shipwreck Bay three months later. Current faction: Pirates.]
[Mission time limit: Before the 'Pirate Conference' is held. Mission failure penalty: Bear one or two random 'curses'. Mission reward: Unknown.]
… …
According to the usual practice between the apostles.
Yi Lin read the mission description three times, up and down, left and right.
He didn't miss a single word, in case there was a trap hidden within.
The time limit was … … three months.
It seemed like a lot.
However, according to Irin's initial understanding of this world, for a ship's voyage, three months was nothing.
If he told Ruth, who was familiar with the pirate world, that he, Elizabeth Ling, wanted to become one of the nine 'Pirate Lords' in three months, Ruth would definitely shake her head wildly and say that Elizabeth Ling had big breasts but no brain.
As the 'Queen' gradually moved away from the shore.
The entire ship seemed to be isolated by the sea. It was surrounded by blue waves, and the land gradually disappeared beyond the horizon.
Yi Lin was relieved for the time being.
"Maybe the luck attribute of the others really neutralized the 'curses' of the two women?"
"But it's hard to say. When Elizabeth Ling landed on Norland's fleet, it took her half a day to summon the vortex and thunderstorm … … Could it be random?"
Irin lowered his head and thought silently.
However, no matter what, it seemed like everything was going smoothly.
Ruth was indeed the best choice for the first officer. In terms of commanding the voyage, Irin didn't have to worry at all. She commanded all the sailors in an orderly manner.
Also, Wang Tiandi was lying on the deck, basking in the sun and scratching from time to time with his claws. This intentional or unintentional action of showing off his claws made all the pirates, who had witnessed Gou Zi's prowess, not dare to slack off. They worked 120% hard and shed tears and sweat.
Irin was originally curious whether Wang Tiandi, as Gou Zi, received the same mission as him.
However, no matter if it was a private chat or a face-to-face chat, Wang Tiandi's language was always one word. This "Wang" word combined with various intonations and symbols to form a language was obviously not something that Irin could understand.
If he wanted to communicate with Wang Tiandi normally, he would have to at least have the [Dog Language Level 10] skill.
Therefore, Irin gave up on the idea of communicating with Gou Zi.
Since Wang Tiandi was able to become an apostle, his IQ shouldn't be low. Otherwise, he wouldn't have boarded the "Queen" and used such a method to show his presence.
Or maybe, as a "crew member," Wang Tiandi and Irin, as the "captain," had completely different main missions.
— Very likely.
Just as Irin was thinking about everything related to the main mission and this world.
A soft little hand quietly pressed on Irin's shoulder.
"Look at you standing for so long. Are your shoulders sore? Sister's massage skills are very good! "
Ruth leaned forward again.
Irin was helpless. "You wish."
Ruth was speechless.
Speaking of which, Irin didn't know if it was because he was carrying too much weight. He didn't expect Ruth to notice it.
…
Ten minutes later.
In the sealed captain's cabin.
"Yes, it's there. Use more strength. Ouch."
Yi Lin lay on the head of the bed, moaning in a lazy voice.
[Your crew member, Ruth Emily, is skilled and skillful. After giving you a full massage, you feel refreshed. You are like a tiger that has grown wings. You are at peace and have received the temporary buff, Abundant!]
[Abundant: Strength + 0.5, Agility + 0.5, Spirit + 0.5. Duration: 24 hours.]
The massage was complete.
Irin looked at the notification that appeared in front of his eyes in surprise.
Then, he silently opened the apostle interface. There was indeed a strange buff in the upper right corner that looked like a fitness guy posing.
This was Ruth's skill … [Massage (Top level)]!
It was so terrifying!
Although it was only a temporary buff, it lasted for 24 hours. The total of Strength, Agility, and Spirit was increased by 1.5.
This was already a very scary increase.
Irin lay on the bed.
He started to feel a little good.
Although the inner world didn't seem to rely on his own abilities, if he encountered any problems and received a buff first … wouldn't that be awesome?
However, he didn't know if there were any restrictions to Ruth's amazing skills.
"This … … massage skill … … can you do it every day?"
Irin originally wanted to ask where she learned this skill. However, after careful consideration, this question was rather boring. Hence, he went straight to the point.
Ruth used a silk handkerchief to wipe away the sweat on her forehead and laughed. "At most once a day. If I do it too often, this sister's stamina won't be able to take it!"
Once a day?
In other words, she could only apply the buff to one person every day?
That was reasonable.
If such a terrifying attribute buff was given to every crew member, the combat prowess of the ship would instantly rise by an order of magnitude.
However, if Irin's guess wasn't wrong, even if Ruth's' Massage 'didn't consume any stamina, she wouldn't massage anyone else.
The others wouldn't dare.
If the pirates knew that their chief mate was the legendary 'Black Widow Ruth', they would probably jump into the sea in fright. They would rather carry a wooden bucket and drift back to Tortuga Island to drag out an ignoble existence than die in the hands of this terrifying woman.
Irin's lingering charm hadn't dissipated yet. He simply laid on the bed to rest.
"How did you recognize me?"
Ruth sneered.
Ruth chuckled mischievously, her tone becoming more cunning. "It's simple. No pirate would be as clean as you. Those damned filthy pirates wouldn't emit the fragrance of shower gel."
"…"
"Also, hehe. Do you really think this sister can't recognize your voice?"
Suddenly.
Irin turned her head with an expressionless face. "Why the hell … .are you undressing???"
"Eh —"
Ruth's little action instantly froze her in place.
After kicking Ruth out of the captain's cabin, who harbored evil intentions and was drooling over the beauty of 'Elizabeth Ling', Irin remained alone in the room with nothing to do. She casually retrieved the reward from the first main mission and checked its attributes.
… …
[Gorgeous Bloodstained Earring]
[Grade] Rare
[Restriction] Female
[Durability] 500500
[Effect] Charm + 4.0, Luck -1.0
[Description] Click to view details.
… …
The restriction was female?
This wasn't a restriction for the current him.
As for the equipment effect … .it was actually an equipment that greatly increased charm and slightly decreased luck?
Irin did some calculations.
At present, his two attributes were —
[Luck] 3.3
[Charm] 2.2
If she wore this equipment, her charm could exceed 5?
Irin was a little surprised.
After thinking for a while, Irin smiled slightly and slowly put on the earring.
When this earring was fastened to the ear, it was more like an ancient earring. It didn't make Irin more feminine. Instead, it made him more wild and charming.
Irin turned over and over in front of the mirror for a while and was very satisfied with the style of this earring.
Suddenly.
Irin frowned.
But after a few seconds, Irin's brows relaxed again and she called Ruth in again. With Ruth's messy assistance, Irin finally returned to the figure of Molly and appeared on the deck in the posture of a "skeleton gentleman".
When Ruth saw Elizabeth Ling wearing the earring, she also felt that something was wrong. She couldn't help but clamp her legs together and resist the impulse in her heart. She secretly scolded herself for being too impulsive.
"Is it because of the rum?"
Ruth was very suspicious. The rum that was brought on board from the tavern must have changed after being stored for a long time. It was so easy to get drunk.
Half an hour later.
On the deck.
Irin checked the time.
At a glance, the coastline had completely disappeared in front of him.
The Queen was completely surrounded by the sea.
This feeling of isolation and helplessness always made Irin feel a little uneasy.
If something were to happen, the ship would most likely change and become everyone's grave.
After all, he didn't have time to verify whether the character of "Elizabeth Ling" had any other weaknesses.
— — For example, "weak water".
Although Irin felt that the possibility was not high.
After all, in this kind of map, if the character would drown as soon as they touched water, it would be too much of a trap.
Ruth skillfully took out an ancient parchment map from her clothes.
"Ling, we are probably in this sea area now. Which direction should we go next?"
Irin closed the metal cover of the pocket watch with a snap.
Looking at the pile of crisscrossing ancient routes, islands, and places on the map, he felt a slight headache.
Although under the impetus of the main mission, he had to become a glorious captain and throw himself into the arms of the sea.
But the next step was how to become one of the "Nine Pirate Kings". Irin didn't have a further understanding of this world, and he didn't have a detailed plan for the time being.
Ruth stared at Elisabeth Rin with a strange look in her eyes, and her legs moved involuntarily.
Irin didn't notice Ruth's little movements. He stared at the map on the table.
Suddenly.
Irin remembered something.
"Get the one who played with the rope … Ah no …" Irin couldn't remember his name. After opening the crew panel, he added, "Call Sax over!"
