September 15th.
Early morning.
After waking up, Oda Mai sent Irin a message more than once, but all the messages were like stones sinking into the sea, there was no reply.
Ah?
Where did he go!
Oda Mai slowly typed out a question mark and a murderous exclamation mark.
She felt that something was wrong.
Ruth: "… …"
Suddenly.
In the cabin, the candlelight flickered, as if the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.
Ruth was completely silent.
Irin took off his mask, and the blue eyes belonging to Elizabeth Ling silently stared at Ruth. Irin smiled. "To be precise, I should ask … … What is the thing that 'you' are really afraid of?"
Ever since entering this world.
Irin had noticed from different angles that there was a "name" that was like a taboo. Whether it was the navy or the pirates, they all feared it deeply. No matter what, they did not dare to let that "name" come out of their mouths.
It was as if once "that name" was said, it would attract some kind of terrifying existence.
Whether it was Norlando, Ruth, or the pirates on the ship.
All of them clearly knew "that name" and the meaning behind it, but every time they wanted to say something, Irin could not help but care.
Ruth was still silent.
Irin recalled the first time he boarded poor Norlando's ship, Norlando inadvertently said a certain word.
"Demon … …?"
Ruth's face changed greatly. She was so scared that she pressed her whole body against Irin's body. She reached out her hand and tightly covered Irin's mouth, there was an uncontrollable fear in her eyes.
"Don't, I beg you, don't say it, you will kill everyone!"
Irin slapped away Ruth's hand that was covering his mouth, he was surprised by Ruth's fierce reaction.
"That name", what kind of great terror was it hiding?
How could it make Ruth, who was so familiar with the sea, show such a fearful expression?
Irin observed that when the sailors mentioned the "sea monster", they were just afraid, but not to the extent that they did not even dare to mention the name.
In other words, the existence that the pirates knew of was actually more terrifying than the legendary sea monster?
"Curse?"
Ruth shook her head, her expression flickering. "No, you don't understand. That is … something even more terrifying than a curse."
"I can't even mention his name?"
Ruth gradually calmed down, her expression helpless. "No matter who it is, no one is willing to be buried in the ocean."
"Bringing women on board will bring bad luck?"
"…"
"But aren't we still here?"
Ruth tilted her head.
He thought for a moment.
That makes sense!
The Queen was now secretly hiding from two women. Wasn't it peaceful this week?
From the looks of it …
Even legends might not be credible?
Ruth's resolve was wavering.
Irin struck while the iron was hot and looked at Ruth eagerly.
Ruth sighed. She subconsciously extended her hand and cast the [Massage Technique] that she was familiar with, silently applying a buff on Yi Lin.
It was just a buff, nothing special.
Ruth rubbed Irin's shoulder with her small hands. After a moment of silence, Ruth sang in a low and hoarse voice with blurred eyes.
"Yo-ho ~ The dark sea ~ The gloomy sky ~"
"Yo-ho ~ Who is floating in the fog?" "…"
"Yo-ho ~ Why are you so panicked?" "…"
"His eyes are filled with anger ~ His limbs are like iron towers ~"
"Yo-ho ~ The sea is his cradle ~ The sky is his bedding ~"
"Sailors and cannons, rum and ships, they are all food for him."
"King ~ Ah, can you hear ~"
"Is he whispering in your ear?" "…"
"Ah, King, he ate the ship, ate the sailors, ate the rum, he ate … us!" "…"
"…"
Irin did not interrupt Ruth's singing from beginning to end.
Although Ruth's voice sounded like she was singing "The Pirate's Song," which was full of the unique accent of a pirate, like a weird and wild ballad, Roland still felt that it was a strange and wild ballad.
But between the lines, it brought Irin a very secret kind of fear. Especially the last line of the lyrics, in that teasing tone, there was incomparable despair hidden. It was like a king and his attendant facing a huge monster. They raised their heads in despair, smiled at each other, and then faced death.
Ruth sang the entire ballad without missing a word, as if she had done something extraordinary. She let out a long sigh of relief, giving people a feeling of relief.
While singing, Irin's apostle panel also had an additional buff.
— "Abundant."
The massage was completed.
"What song is this?" Irin's expression was calm.
Ruth's expression struggled for a few seconds, but she suddenly remembered that the two women had been out at sea and nothing had happened. So, she became a lot braver and went all out. She simply leaned over to Yi Lin's ear and whispered, "This is the 'Demon King's Song', also known as the 'Forbidden Ballad'. Legend has it that this is a song that absolutely cannot be sung at sea …"
"Because, legends say that the 'Demon King' is everywhere in the sea. If the 'Demon King's Song' is played on the sea, it will attract the attention of the Demon King. Everything will become the food of the 'Demon King'."
Demon King?
This was the existence that made Noland hesitate?
This was the existence that made all the sailors so afraid that they did not even dare to mention its name?
"Ah, interesting."
As some of the existences in this world were gradually unveiled in front of Irin, Irin increasingly felt that this trial in the Inner World was not as simple as it seemed.
"Hmm?"
After Irin applied the buff.
Suddenly, her expression froze as she stared speechlessly at Ruth. "Take your f * cking hand out!"
As expected, hormones had affected her personality.
Irin always felt that playing the role of Elizabeth Ling, after being treated like this by Ruth, did not feel right.
Ruth was speechless.
Dang dang dang dang —
Suddenly.
The alarm in the captain's cabin rang crazily.
This was the alarm that the lookout had raised as soon as he noticed that something was amiss, informing all the crew to immediately enter battle mode.
Irin: "!"
Ruth: "!"
Irin and Ruth looked at each other.
At this moment, the two of them actually thought of the same word.
— — "Demon King"!
…
On the deck.
The sailors were cheering. "Gogogo!"
“RUSH！”
"Go, go, go!"
"Brothers, get ready!"
The moment the alarm rang, whether it was those who were drinking, on night duty, or sleeping in hammocks, they all entered battle mode in a very short time. They put on their boots and quickly stepped onto the deck, waiting for the captain and first mate's next command.
Irin and Ruth were even more flustered.
After all, Irin had removed all the restraints in order to make it easier to use the buff. Now, it would take a lot of time to rebind her into Molly's shape.
Moreover.
Ruth had just sung the "Demon King's Song" in the cabin, and not long after she finished singing, the alarm sounded. This really made it difficult for Ruth to calm down.
It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured onto a raging fire, extinguishing it completely.
"Harder! Harder! Inhale! Inhale! "
Rip — —
Ruth skillfully tightened Irin's clothes. Then, she did not dare to talk nonsense, nor did she dare to take advantage of the situation. She quickly dressed neatly, reapplied her makeup as "First Mate Louis", and left the captain's cabin before Irin and appeared in front of everyone.
As for Elizabeth Ling …
Skeleton Gentleman Captain?
In the eyes of all the pirates, their terrifying Skeleton Gentleman who knew black witchcraft was incomparably mysterious. In addition, everyone thought that the dog lying on the deck all day and being groomed by the specialist was their captain's "eyes". Therefore, even if Irin did not appear, they felt that it was very normal.
Gou 'zi sat up at the right time.
He changed from lying on all fours to sitting on his butt with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
The corners of Dog's mouth curled up into a mysterious smile.
Wang Tiandi's posture made everyone even more convinced that their great captain, the "Skeleton Gentleman", was using his unique "black witchcraft" to control all of this, to control this ship!
That was … a man who used dogs to spread fear!
Bang!
The captain's cabin door was slammed open.
Ruth wrapped herself up tightly, and her clothes were neat and tidy as she appeared in front of everyone.
"What happened!"
"First Mate! There's a ship in front! There's a ship! It's the Royal Navy! "
Oh!
Navy!
Then it's fine!
The moment Ruth heard the word "navy", she heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, it's just the navy."
“？？？”
It was not some Demon King or something.
First, they passed by the ship's graveyard, then sang the "Demon King's Song" in front of Irin. At that moment, Ruth really thought that her singing had attracted the "Demon King".
If that was really the case, this "Demon King's" efficiency was a little too high!
"Ah, that's not right! Navy? "
Ruth reacted abruptly.
Even if they encountered the Royal Navy, they would be very unlucky!
Ruth quickly straightened the monocular and looked at the original location.
She saw that on the horizon, the silhouette of a mid-level warship gradually appeared. On the top of the warship, the flag of the Royal Navy was fluttering in the wind, looking very smug.
"Navy?"
Unknowingly, Irin had already put on a gentleman's outfit that did not fit in with the other pirates on the ship. Like a shadow, he stood quietly behind Ruth.
Ruth heard Irin's voice behind her and was startled. When she reacted, Irin also took out a monocular and looked into the distance.
Normally, when Irin did not ask for Irin's permission, Ruth did not need to ask for Irin's permission and directly issued a command to make the Queen move without any difficulty.
But now that Irin came out, whether it was in the open or in the dark, out of respect for the captain, Ruth politely asked: "Captain, what do you think we should do?"
"Well, beat him."
Irin said lightly.
Ruth immediately issued an order: "Everyone in position! Prepare the right rudder! There's a navy in front, the Queen is about to evade –??? Oh, dear captain, what did you just say? "
Halfway through the order, Ruth suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Just now, her dear sister, the real owner of the ship seemed to be saying … "beat him"?
Ruth thought that it must be because the wind was too loud and the waves were too fierce, causing her to accidentally hear things.
No pirate would choose to take the initiative to fight against a navy warship.
Unless … there was no choice.
Yi Lin, on the other hand, used a tone that said, "Something's wrong with you," and answered Ruth matter-of-factly, "Hm? Did I not make it clear enough? Charge forward and sink that ship. Pirates and the Royal Navy are different. Isn't it natural to beat him up? "
In the dark night, the two bow cannons of the Braveheart spat out dazzling flames and shells were fired.
But to everyone's surprise, just half a minute before the cannonball was fired, the Queen suddenly made a 180-degree turn on the surface of the sea and circled to the side of the Braveheart in the blink of an eye!
The distance between the two ships was so close that Bopp could even smell the smell of rum coming from the dirty pirate ship as the sea breeze brushed past his face.
The Queen's sudden sharp turn only stunned the battle-hardened Admiral Bopp for a few seconds before he sneered disdainfully, "Another one of those old-fashioned navigational skills? Stupid pirates, don't you know that ever since the Intrepid was destroyed by this move, your sharp turn tactics have long been recorded in textbooks? "
Thinking up to this point, Bopp continued to calmly instruct. "Those damned pirates are on our right! Prepare the right bow cannons and load all shells! Wait for my order! "
On the Queen.
Ruth bit her lower lip.
Her tactic of making a sharp turn was indeed an old tactic. It was passed down by word of mouth among the pirates and was said to be the wisdom left by a legendary pirate.
But the other party seemed to be unfazed by this unforeseen event. All the cannons on the right side of the Braveheart opened and dozens of cannons were pushed out, facing the Queen coldly across a small part of the sea.
— — [Konbanwa ~]
There was no white in the sides of those pitch-black eyes, only a deep, ink-like black.
“！！！！”
"Squeak —"
The police car driving at high speed on the viaduct suddenly tilted and crashed through the guardrail without warning, falling off the bridge.
