Wang Tiandi was numb.
Completely numb.
"Family of three phobia" was also cured.
But the way to cure it was a bit hard to explain.
At first, Gou 'zi was chased by three monsters with tentacles and tools all over their bodies for 18 streets. Gou' zi was not in the mood to fight. But suddenly, more "family of three" came from all directions. Gou 'zi was surrounded by all kinds of tentacles and felt a string in his heart break.
At this moment.
If someone walked into the "Hot Rose" Tavern at this time, they would probably only have two thoughts.
"Oh, f * ck the sea, my eyes must be playing tricks on me!"
Then, they would leave and enter again.
"Oh, cake buyer, the rum is really going to the head tonight!"
No one could believe what they were seeing.
Even if they saw it with their own eyes.
Those damned, dirty, and despicable pirates were actually obediently lining up in the tavern.
It was eerily quiet.
Everything was orderly, calm, and unruffled.
Some people were even tired of standing and simply squatted on the ground, looking forward, hoping that it would be their turn soon.
"Scum! Next. "
"Scum of scums! Next! "
"Not even as good as Charlie, next."
"As a human, you should say sorry. Next! "
"Barely … Port Queen, report to Charlie."
Irin recruited people while listening to the movements at the port.
Some of the pirates whose ships were blown up were directly recruited by Irin as the captain, and some left dejectedly. No one knew where they went.
"If I'm not wrong …"
Just as Yi Lin was so busy that she was overwhelmed with anxiety.
A magnetic voice sounded above Irin's head.
"Gentleman Skeleton Captain, do you think I can get on the ship?"
“?”
This voice seemed to be a bit familiar.
Irin looked up expressionlessly.
Reflected in his eyes was a dark-skinned "man" wearing loose clothes with a smug smile on his face.
"What the f * ck —"
Irin resisted the urge to curse, but in the end … he held it in.
He habitually looked at the attribute panel that appeared next to the "job seeker".
…
[Ruth Emily]
[Job Grade] Pending
[Combat Power] C
[Smart] A
[Luck] B +
40 (love at first sight)
[Curse]: "Bringing a woman on board will bring bad luck", "The next man …"
[Specialty] Massage Technique (Peak), Navigation Technique (Advanced), Careful Calculation (Advanced), Sword Technique Expertise (Intermediate), Spear Technique Expertise (Beginner)
[Affiliation] Pending
"…"
Ah, this?
Irin suddenly fell silent.
He didn't expect Ruth's attributes to be so outstanding.
Even his [Combat Strength], which was the lowest among all attributes, had reached C Rank.
If Ruth were to board the ship, her 40 points of loyalty would undoubtedly crush the entire ship full of unwavering filthy pirates.
Love at first sight?
"The next man?"
Top level massage technique?
These strange words couldn't hide Ruth's excellent attributes as a pirate.
As for the curse that women would encounter bad luck when they went out to sea?
Irin pondered for another thirty seconds.
Maybe, or maybe, there won't be any big problems, right?
When choosing cannon fodder … Ah no, when choosing other pirates, Irin deliberately chose a lot of crew members with average combat power, but with good luck.
With this, with a little balance, maybe it could offset the bad luck of two women on board the ship?
Thinking of this, Irin nodded and silently stamped "Ruth Emily" to confirm her ownership.
The moment she received Irin's reply, Ruth's mouth opened into an "O" shape due to surprise.
Ruth didn't expect Irin to agree so easily.
Could it be that this guy saw through her flawless disguise and saw her simple inner beauty?
You really are sister's good sister!
Ruth was so excited that she couldn't wait to hug Irin and kiss him a few times.
Finally.
Irin worked until the early hours of the morning and finally selected enough crew members.
Although the remaining crew members were unwilling, they did not dare to act rashly under the mysterious power of Yi Lin's "black witchcraft" that was faintly displayed.
Taking advantage of the night, Irin left the tavern and headed towards the port.
On the surface of the sea, after experiencing waves after waves of massive explosions that shook the entire Tortuga Island, the port had regained its tranquility.
Wreckages floated on the surface of the sea. Occasionally, spirals of black smoke that hadn't been extinguished would float up from the wreckage and blend into the pitch-black night sky.
On the shore of the port, there were occasionally pirates dressed in tattered clothes and drenched in sweat. They sat dejectedly on the boards of the port.
Thud thud thud.
Irin didn't deliberately conceal his figure as he strode amidst the crowd of pirates with his shiny leather shoes.
During the period when Irin hosted the "Pirate Recruitment Fair" to recruit crew members, Irin's various legends had already spread throughout the entire island under the embellishment of the pirates.
— "Damned Skeleton Gentleman."
— "Devil who wields Black Witchcraft."
— "Pirate Public Enemy."
— "Skeleton Gentleman must die."
— "Wealthy Pirate."
— "Man who uses dogs to spread fear."
Dog?
Such rumours had added layers of mystery to the nickname of 'Skeleton Gentleman' that had appeared out of nowhere.
Therefore, when Irin reappeared at the port in such a disguise, countless pirates subconsciously raised their heads and stared at that devilish figure in the night.
Within those gazes, there were various complex emotions concealed.
There was hatred, jealousy, sorrow, shock, fear, and of course … envy.
In the eyes of the pirates, this was a 'man' who was unknown before tonight, but was destined to become famous in the Caribbean Sea after tonight.
Anchored by the port, a small hill had unknowingly been piled up beside the solitary Queen.
The closer Irin approached, the more he realized that the small hill was actually filled with corpses of pirates.
The corpses of the pirates were extremely hideous. Their eyes were wide open, as though they were filled with unwillingness.
“?”
Irin slowly typed out a question mark.
Before he left, he had already guessed that there would be a portion of disgruntled pirates in the tavern with ulterior motives. They would ambush the Queen while he was recruiting.
After all, pirates were creatures that prioritized benefits above all else. It was not difficult to understand.
The corpses around the Queen also confirmed that Irin's speculation was not wrong.
However, before he left, Irin had already instructed Charlie, who was the floor of the Queen, to immediately fire the cannon as a warning once he discovered a pirate attack.
When Irin was recruiting crew members in the tavern, he had also been paying attention to the movements at the port.
After all, the port was not far from the Fiery Rose Tavern. If the Queen fired the cannon, Irin would definitely be able to detect it.
But why were there corpses all around the ship?
With doubts, Irin followed the rope ladder and boarded the Queen again.
As a medium-sized three-masted ship, the deck of the Queen was already densely packed with people.
Most of them were the crew members he had recruited in the tavern.
When Irin boarded the ship, he did not activate any skills. Therefore, the moment he boarded the ship, everyone noticed Irin's presence.
However, the atmosphere was a little strange.
Most of the pirates looked at Irin with fear in their eyes.
Irin was wearing a mask. No one could see Irin's puzzled expression through the "Smiley Face" mask.
Instead, it was this pretentious look that made everyone imagine all kinds of evil, mysterious, and ruthless expressions under the mask.
Irin released his perception and walked forward.
As Irin moved forward, the pirates on the deck of the Queen, regardless of which ship they once belonged to, faced the terrifying masked man in front of them at this moment. It was as if they had rehearsed beforehand. They spontaneously parted a path for him.
Irin found the reaction of the pirates a little strange.
Although this was the result he was happy to see, the effect was … a little too good.
It was beyond imagination!
At the end of the crowd that parted, Irin frowned and quickened his pace.
Among the pirates, a dirty dog was lying lazily on the deck.
The dog seemed to have heard Irin's footsteps. When Irin was about to approach, he raised his eyelids slightly and stretched out his paw to wave at Irin twice.
Irin suddenly remembered the legend he had heard along the way.
— "The man who used dogs to spread fear."
Dog?
This one?
Irin thought for a moment and immediately opened the captain's panel.
When he was recruiting crew members, the screen refreshed so quickly that Irin did not notice it at all.
In the crew list, there was a very strange existence.
…
[Wang Tiandi]
[Class] Crew Member
[Combat Power]?
[Nimbleness]?
[Luck]?
[Loyalty] 0 (???)
[Curse] None
[Specialty]?
[Affiliation] The Queen
…
Under the mask, Irin had a strange expression.
He squatted down in front of the dog.
"Woof!"
The dog named "Wang Tiandi" barked … He did not understand.
Irin lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he said in a voice that only a man and a dog could hear, "Add me as a friend?"
"Woof ~"
Hence …
Irin's friend list had an additional … dog for no reason.
— "Wang Tiandi".
This name was so domineering!
Wait a minute.
Irin's heart stirred.
This time, it was role-playing mode.
Perhaps this dog's inner self was actually a human?
He had never heard of an apostle who was a dog.
Furthermore, a dog actually fulfilled the requirements to become an apostle. If this were to spread, most probably no one would believe it.
Zhao Yulong was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
Irin directly asked in the chat window.
…
Irin: You role-played as a dog?
Wang Tiandi: Woof woof?
Irin: …
Wang Tiandi: Woof?
Irin: I thought you were just pretending to be a dog. I didn't expect you to be a real dog?
Wang Tiandi: Woof ~
Irin: …
After randomly asking a few people, Irin finally understood why everyone looked at him with fear in their eyes.
It turned out that they had mistakenly thought that this dog was the pet of the "Captain Skeleton Gentleman".
It was similar to the "Legendary Great Pirate Captain Barbossa's Undying Monkey". He opened the captain's interface.
He clicked on the [Queen].
Densely packed holographic three-dimensional images appeared in front of Irin.
All kinds of data, all kinds of blank jobs, all kinds of resources … Irin felt a headache coming on.
Irin thought for a while. Among the crew members that he had recruited, there were a few characters whose attributes were more prominent.
Ah! So annoying!
Apart from Zhi Tian Wu, everyone in Irin's team was present. Xu Anjing turned and asked, her eyes flashing with excitement.
Li Changge saw that the two of them seemed to be plotting something. Li Changge, who was about to take a breather, suddenly had an ominous premonition.
