No one noticed it.
A black shadow that almost merged with the night shuttled through the gaps of the warships and various wreckages like a ghost on the sea.
"Is this the night mode?"
Irin lay on the Nightingale and looked curiously.
A faint black fog completely wrapped Irin and the motorcycle.
This kind of ability was already beyond the scope of "science".
Well, it was unscientific, very unscientific.
[Dark Night Mode] used the protective color of the night to hide the mount and the user. It was silent and could merge with the color of the night.
[Dark Night Mode] was different from Irin's skill [Shadow Following].
[Shadow Following] was a skill that reduced the sense of "presence", but visually, it could not eliminate the existence of the form.
However, the [Dark Night Mode] of the Nightingale enveloped Irin and the mount under it through some mysterious power. It almost merged into the night and was undetectable.
And in the Dark Night Mode, the roar of the engine was directly silenced. Even if it was driving on the sea, no sound was exposed.
But obviously, the Dark Night Mode was not suitable for any occasion.
As the name suggested, Dark Night was the only time the Nightingale could hide its figure.
If it was during the day, a black thing driving on the sea was far more conspicuous than not using the Dark Night Mode.
There was another side effect. In the Dark Night Mode, the engine power consumption was extremely low, and the driving speed could not be increased. It felt like the energy-saving mode was turned on.
"Hehe, even a skill like 'Ignore the Terrain' exists. Science has no value in discussing it."
Irin shook his head and came to a conclusion.
Originally, the mounts of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse were lifeforms that were similar in shape to "horses."
But Irin successfully matched it with a motorcycle, which made his mount become a nondescript existence.
It was a little strange, but it was also fragrant.
Soon.
With the Dark Night Mode, Irin lurked in the night and drove away from the sea.
Irin stopped on the sea and checked the remaining satiety of the Nightingale.
"Well, it's enough. No need to add more wine."
For the sake of insurance, Irin stuffed a few bottles of [Collector's Red Wine] from Swann Castle in the storage dimension as backup oil in case of emergency.
If his [Satiety] dropped to zero, not to mention whether his [Favorability] would drop, at the very least, he wouldn't be able to drive the mount anymore.
An hour later.
Irin began to feel bored.
Even so, Irin did not dare to let down her guard in the vast ocean.
He finally understood what a woman's intuition was.
The feeling of being spied on was always faintly discernible, and it made Irin very uncomfortable.
If everything went well …
Another half an hour passed.
There were no disasters, no disasters. This was very surprising.
Finally.
In the distance.
Gradually, the shadow of a ship appeared.
At the bow of the ship, there were two dim yellow lights. Although the lights were dim, they were like morning stars in the night. Irin felt refreshed and found the direction.
Ten minutes later.
Irin quietly stepped onto the deck.
Ruth had purposely chosen a lookout who was the laziest to be on duty tonight. Sure enough, on the lookout platform, snoring sounds could be heard one after another, drifting in the night like the whispers of ghosts.
Beside Ruth, there was Wang Tiandi, who looked like he was asking for credit.
Irin silently took out a bone from the storage dimension and threw it into Gou 'zi's mouth.
Gou 'zi was instantly overjoyed. The corner of his mouth opened, revealing a mysterious smile.
After sending Gou 'zi away, Irin looked around. There was no one around.
In the middle of the night, other than the lookout on duty, the rest of the pirates were sleeping in the special dormitory below the deck. Ruth chose a good time.
"Ling!" After being separated for a long time, Ruth and Irin reunited. The joy and excitement on her face could not be suppressed. Her body trembled slightly, "I —"
Irin's expression changed slightly. Ruth had only said one word when Irin directly covered Ruth's mouth.
— Don't think too much, he used his hand.
"Shh —"
Irin tightly covered Ruth's mouth.
He made a gesture for her to keep quiet.
Ruth was dumbfounded.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong. There was clearly no one around.
This was clearly a very suitable atmosphere for a picnic.
Why didn't he let her take credit?
Who knew how hard it had been for her to pretend to be a "skeleton gentleman"?!
"Let's talk inside."
Irin ignored Ruth's random thoughts and forcefully dragged her into the room.
Gou 'zi thought for a moment. The cool night breeze might have messed up his fur, so he wagged his tail and followed Irin into the room.
Click. The door was locked.
Irin closed the window.
In this sea, there could be Calypso's eyes everywhere.
"Also …"
Irin directly took off the equipment on Ruth's body.
Ruth: "???"
In the room, there were no other skull-shaped objects.
After finishing the preparations, Irin could no longer feel that he was being watched. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hmm? Why are you lying on the bed? "
Irin saw that Ruth had already wrapped herself in the quilt and was looking at him with sparkling eyes. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Get the f * ck up and take that thing out!"
Ruth didn't understand the meaning behind Irin's series of strange actions, but under Irin's threatening gaze, she didn't dare to act rashly. She took out the waterproof bag from under the bed.
"Are you sure you haven't opened it?"
Ruth's mouth flattened. "This old lady wants to! But — "
As she spoke, she pouted at Gou 'zi.
Gou 'zi raised his head. He couldn't smile because of the bone in his mouth, so he raised his paw and broke off two of the bones, making a "V" sign for victory.
Irin: "…"
Ruth: "…"
She didn't expect Wang Tiandi's paw structure to be able to make such a strange sign.
But that wasn't important.
Yi Lin silently gave Heavenly Emperor Wang a thumbs up, then shifted his gaze away from Heavenly Emperor Wang.
In his hand was an ancient waterproof bag.
The cloth was wrapped tightly with a rope, and it was wrapped tightly around the cloth.
But under the ravages of time, the outer layer of the waterproof bag had been damaged to a certain extent.
But luckily, Captain Jack seemed to be more cautious back then. He used more layers of waterproof cloth than a woman's clothes and wrapped it tightly.
Irin smiled and began to open the bag happily.
This was the package that Ruth and Gou 'zi had spent a lot of effort to find. He had to treat it carefully.
He opened half of it.
Irin suddenly thought of something equally important. He quickly reached out to Ruth. "Compass."
Ruth's expression changed slightly. She lowered her head. "But my curse …"
"Don't worry. I won't shirk from what I promised you. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
I know it too well. That's why I can't believe it!
Ruth didn't dare to say this out loud. She hesitated for a few seconds. Seeing Irin's tense expression, she reluctantly took out the compass from her tight chest.
This compass was an epic-level item. It had already completed its mission on Ruth. Irin put it away in the storage dimension without hesitation.
Seeing that the compass had been taken away by Irin using "black witchcraft," Ruth looked up at Irin. She wanted to say something but didn't.
Irin opened the bag and said in a low voice, "I never lie."
Ruth: "…"
So Irin changed to a more convincing way. "At least, I didn't lie to you this time. The curse on you will be broken, but not now. "
"Then when?"
Ruth was stunned.
Rustle —
Finally.
The bag was completely opened.
Irin smiled happily. "When the time is most appropriate."
In front of Irin, two … tridents that emitted an ancient aura appeared in front of the two people and the dog.
Although Wang Tiandi was a dog, he was still an apostle. When it came to the main mission, he didn't let his guard down. He gnawed on the bone and moved his furry head closer.
Irin: "Huh?"
Wang Tiandi: "?"
Ruth: "???"
The trident in the cloth bag had been hidden in rum for many years. When it appeared in this sealed room, the two people and the dog had different reactions.
The trident was indeed a trident.
But there was a small accident.
Irin was expressionless. He gently held the head of the trident … and half of the handle in his hands.
This trident … was broken.
Broken.
Broken.
Broken.
These two words echoed in Irin's mind.
"What the f * ck?"
The attributes of the head and the handle appeared in front of Irin.
…
[Poseidon's Trident – Head]
[Grade] Damaged
[Durability]???
[Effect]???
[Description] Click to view details.
…
[Poseidon's Trident – Staff]
[Grade] Damaged
[Durability]???
[Effect]???
[Description] Click to view details.
Irin: "…"
When he saw the attributes of the head and the staff, Irin instantly understood everything.
So, everything was Jack Sparrow's fault!
No wonder all the curses in the sea came back stronger.
No wonder the sea didn't like women.
It was Jack Sparrow who went to find the broken trident. Halfway through, he realized there was no glue, so he didn't care anymore.
As for the staff, it was even more ridiculous. It was so ridiculous that Irin couldn't accept it.
How could he let all the women in the world take the blame?
On the head of the trident, there were many thin cracks. Between the cracks, there was a strange liquid. It was crystal clear and had a tinge of green. It was glue from who knew where.
Irin held a part of the trident in each hand and started to struggle in the room.
Ruth was already stunned.
She didn't open the waterproof bag. She didn't know why the trident was broken when she opened it.
"It's none of your business."
Irin lowered her head.
Even if she didn't look at the attributes, Irin wouldn't suspect that it was broken later.
After all, when she first opened the bag, Irin felt that the shape of the bag was too short and didn't fit the legend of the trident at all.
Ruth looked strange: "Didn't the legend say that the trident was glued? Why … why is there still a curse? "
Irin looked up at Ruth.
After thinking about it, she decided not to tell the truth to poor Ruth.
After Irin decisively slipped away from the Marine camp.
On the lucky one No. 2, the chaos caused by the explosion gradually calmed down.
Tiramisu stared at the roll of parchment in his hand strangely.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't hold back and called Gu Tianqing to ask for an explanation.
Soon.
Gu Tianqing came to the deck.
The movement on the deck was so exaggerated that Gu Tianqing already knew about it when he was rubbing the tarot cards.
But when the bloody parchment letter was presented to him like evidence in a court of law, Gu Tianqing expressionlessly opened the communication panel and sent a question mark to a certain damned woman.
Gu Tianqing:?
[The other party is busy, please do not disturb.]
Gu Tianqing: …
Tiramisu's expression was strange. Although she didn't suspect that Gu Tianqing did it, if Gu Tianqing didn't give an answer tonight, Tiramisu would have a sleepless night.
Gu Tianqing turned her hand and slowly pulled out three tarot cards.
They were "lover", "hermit", and "temperance".
Tiramisu:?
Gu Tianqing smiled and explained: "The result of the divination shows, 'hidden lover, unspeakable love'. Maybe Ms. Y'lisabet has been secretly in love with me. Oh, it's all that damn love."
Tiramisu:!
…
Never Sink.
Irin suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and found it strange, but he didn't take it to heart.
The two halves of the trident in front of him made Yi Lin worried to death.
The contract between Elisabeth Ling and Calypso was — —
"Find Poseidon's trident, and she won't let disaster befall Elizabeth Ling."
The moment the contract was successfully signed, a curse appeared on Irin's body, which was "Calypso's Gaze".
But combined with the information Irin learned, this trident must be the key to completely sealing Calypso. Without the help of the trident, with his current skills, he couldn't do anything to Calypso.
Every trial naturally had a different strategy. Blindly using one's fists would undoubtedly be much more difficult.
Irin was a little helpless. He carefully looked at the crystal clear marks between the cracks on the trident.
It was like a gel formed by some kind of sticky liquid.
"Some kind of glue? Is it that sticky? "
"Wait a minute … … it looks like … …"
Yi Lin suddenly recalled. Back in Tortuga Island, when he plundered the other pirate ships, he had found several random and useless props. There were even several bottles of liquid that bore some resemblance to the mucus on the trident.
Thinking of this, Irin didn't tarry and quickly rummaged through his bag.
[Indescribable Rosemary] … …
No.
[Expired Third Brother's Divine Oil] … …
No.
[Eye Drops Causing Illusion of X-Ray Vision] … …
Also no.
"… …"
[Unknown Liquid].
After rummaging through the messy pile of cards for a long time, Yi Lin finally found something in the corner of the storage space that had made him feel completely useless at the time.
Attributes.
There were only three words: Unappraised.
It couldn't be used.
"It's a pity I don't have an appraisal skill … …"
Irin kept the messy pile of items and handed the tube of transparent liquid over to Ruth. Before appraising it, he didn't dare to use it carelessly. With the mindset that he wouldn't get pregnant even if he tried, he casually asked. "Take a look. What does it look like?"
Appraising an unknown item wasn't necessarily dependent on skills … … 'Knowledge' was also a powerful method to appraise unknown tools.
Ruth tossed and turned the suspicious liquid over and over in her hands for a long time but couldn't find anything.
Irin snatched it back and hesitated if he should try something else.
However, the liquid in the tube wasn't much. Irin had reason to suspect that if the liquid in his hands was really a crucial tool that could reattach the trident, then according to Tower's usual style, the amount of liquid in the tube would be 'just right'. Once wasted, Irin could very well end up like Captain Jack.
It would be nothing more than being half-glued, enraging the trident and cursing it over and over again.
It wasn't impossible.
Now the Marines, under Gu Tianqing's strange ability, were about to find the Demon King. The final act was imminent, and Irin didn't have time to look for other tools.
Ruth was silent for a long time, then suddenly said. "How about … … asking Old Gibbs? He has lived for so long, maybe he knows. "
Old Gibbs?
Irin was slightly startled.
But the next moment, he almost reflexively opened the captain's panel and looked for Old Gibbs' name in the crew list that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time.
"Found it."
Old Gibbs' attributes were nothing special, similar to Charlie's.
After all, he was old, so this was normal. On the contrary, Charlie's attributes were abnormally low.
But it didn't matter.
Irin's eyes fell on the specialty column.
[Old Driver's Wisdom], an old pirate who had lived for several versions. He had unique insights and experience that others didn't have. Perhaps he could give unexpected help.
Oh, the puzzle … … is complete.
… …
Three days later.
In the sea of fog.
Gu Tianqing stood at the bow of the ship, frowning.
Ever since they entered the sea of fog, everyone was tense, afraid that a spirit would appear beside them.
After all, this sea region was filled with all sorts of legends, and it was extremely frightening.
Gu Tianqing pinched her fingers to calculate, no, to calculate. Her expression was unfathomable.
Tiramisu stood beside Gu Tianqing, guarding her tightly.
It was as though he was afraid that Gu Tianqing would run away.
She didn't know why, but ever since Elizabeth Ling jumped into the sea and disappeared, she felt that something was wrong.
After the Governor was bombed, his' connection 'was intermittent. The poor signal caused Tiramisu to feel uneasy.
"Should be … … arriving soon."
Suddenly.
Gu Tianqing quickly took out three tarot cards, a trace of fatigue appearing on her face.
Tiramisu slowly typed out a question mark.
Didn't they say that the tarot card divination couldn't be done too frequently, or else it wouldn't be accurate?
Only then did she remember that this Advisor Kusanagi, who came from Japan, had flipped through the tarot cards over and over again, causing Tiramisu to feel rather surprised.
"It's right in front!"
After Gu Tianqing finished speaking, she suddenly turned around.
Tiramisu suddenly pulled Gu Tianqing, "Wait, where are you going?"
"My esteemed general, are you going to follow me to the toilet? Haha, I don't mind … … "
Gu Tianqing blinked, "Besides, I think you don't have time to go to the toilet with me."
As she spoke, Gu Tianqing pointed to the depths of the fog in a certain direction.
A black shadow that was as tall as a small mountain had appeared in the depths of the thick fog. It looked like a mirage, but it also looked like a giant sea monster that was hibernating in the depths of the fog. At first glance, people would be terrified.
"Could it be … …"
Tiramisu's pupils suddenly shrank. She no longer cared about holding Gu Tianqing's hind legs. She rushed to the railing in a few steps, took out the binoculars, and looked into the distance.
Crack, crack, crack, crack —
Around the warship, from time to time, pieces of wreckage would crash into the warship from the waves. Although it did not cause much damage to the warship that was specially reinforced, the sound that could make one imagine the scene of a ferocious beast eating. In this strange atmosphere, in the countless legendary sea areas, it made one shudder.
"It's him! -Fire the warning cannon! Everyone, get ready for battle! "
Tiramisu trembled.
The captain's cabin suddenly opened. A figure wrapped in bandages, and even his eyes were completely covered. It was the strange Marine Governor. Step by step, he stepped on the deck and walked to Tiramisu's side.
"Zizi … … It's that … … That guy … … Prepare to capture … … Be sure to recover … … Fire, fire, fire … …"
The Governor's mouth made a strange electric current sound. The sound was too low. The other Marines were far away and couldn't hear it clearly. But Tiramisu didn't look surprised by this strange sound. Instead, she gave a standard military salute to the Governor and swore loudly.
"Everything is for the glory of the Empire!"
"I offer my heart!"
Woo, woo, woo, woo —
In the fog, the moment the shadow appeared, Tiramisu was led by the lucky man No. 2. Because the other ships' line of sight was blocked, if they used the flag to transmit the signal, it would undoubtedly reduce the efficiency. Directly firing the cannon was undoubtedly the smartest way.
The other two admirals, when they heard the sound of the cannon coming from the fog, also understood instantly. With the fastest speed, they ordered to fill the boiler, burn the fire, and make the warship have the strongest mobility at all costs.
Sure enough, it was hiding here!
That guy!
So many years!
They have been searching for him!
But the average warship is not the opponent of that guy. On the sea, the wreckage of the Navy's ships is everywhere. It can be imagined how terrible "his" firepower is.
But as long as they can successfully capture the Devil, they will completely change the sea, change the world, and let the Empire's flag be placed in every corner of the sea!
Their goal … … is the sea of stars, the whole world!
A mere pirate is not worth mentioning!
All the textbooks are just a cover.
The real purpose of the Marine's existence is to hunt down that guy in the vast sea, the guy who escaped from the "Secret Base" ten years ago and completely hid in the sea under the identity of the "Demon King"!
The ocean was too vast, and that guy was extremely cunning. If it wasn't for the fact that Jack Sparrow's compass had gone missing all these years, they wouldn't have been able to find the "Demon King". Their navy wouldn't have to wait until today!
Everyone raised their heads.
The nine warships are accelerating.
The fog seems to have a tendency to be washed away.
"Oh ~"
No one noticed that the sky is getting gloomier.
The whistling sea wind, in everyone's ears, is like a sinister laughter.
No one noticed.
A huge shadow, like a migrating school of fish, gradually floated up from the depths of the sea. In the depths of the sea where the nine warships are located, the shadow is getting bigger and bigger.
The fog sea.
It is about to surge.
Gu Tianqing's two feet are stepping on a skateboard-shaped prop. The back of the skateboard ejected air, allowing Gu Tianqing to quickly shuttle through the sea without any pause.
