Black sail

Chapter 718 XCVIII. Spring of Aran
Kingdom of Muron, Port of Golden Palm, Whale Wave.

"Damn it, those who want to go back to Heaven's Port, go back to Heaven's Port; those who want to go on a grand adventure, go on a grand adventure; and we brothers are going to fight a bloody battle in the Narrow Sea!"

Renn couldn't take it anymore! He punched the Western Continent to pieces!

Lister fell for the Holy Spirit Cult woman's trick. With a flick of her finger, Lister, the tiger-man Nasano, and Celine set off for Pedan. They quickly gathered their men, packed their bags, and boarded a light speedboat heading north.

There is no sign of anyone now, and the ship has long since disappeared above the horizon.

Jiaersek was seriously injured and couldn't fly or move around for a while. Besides, she didn't like cold places, so she decided to go with them to the west of the Narrow Sea to see something new.

"So, when are you guys heading to the trade winds anchorage? I just contacted Brother Ao, and it seems like he's having a tough time too."

Raine asked the question.

It's not that Oaks can't settle things with those merfolk, but there's always a barrier of identity. As an outsider in Mirror Sea, he can't act freely there. Moreover, Narrow Sea isn't as lawless as Heavenly Port; every port is national territory, so you have to be able to afford to play games.

The merman guys in Dead Man's Bay are definitely capable. In short, they'll kill your whole family if they say so. The fact that your parents are dead is a bonus; they'll definitely boost your chances of getting something good.

However, since trade between Mirror Sea and Narrow Sea is quite limited, and the other merfolk who come to Narrow Sea are all honest businessmen, the sudden appearance of so many tattooed dragons and tigers to intimidate the government's lords has a very bad influence on public opinion, and they are now in a somewhat passive position.

“Lisite left in a hurry and didn’t leave any instructions. Now, the Bai man sent by Su Mei is in charge of Jinlu Port as a puppet, but we need to leave a key person to keep an eye on it, otherwise it just doesn’t feel reliable.”

Xia Di made a judgment.

"What's unreliable about it? General Finn is in the capital, and the Pedan National Government is handling things, so we can rest assured. We don't need any officials; we can just find a few trustworthy people to oversee things locally. They say it's a bloody battle at the Narrow Sea, but in reality, it's a chance to go and enjoy life as wealthy men."

Renn smacked his lips, saying that he had to have freshly squeezed milk for breakfast every day, making him a true Saint Mark Alchemist!

Shadi thought Rein made a lot of sense. General Finn was even in the capital of Muron. No wonder he was the only designated human rights card of Black Sail. He handled all the technical and hard work.

Since the scissor-legged sisters, Golia and Meredith, prefer a peaceful life, let them stay here.

Where is Gloria?

Shadi asked Aung San.

"I left with Brother Li and the others."

Aung San answered.

"My, hair?"

Xia Di clutched his head with both hands, his scalp tingling.

Damn it, Sister Li Si, Agent Seventeen and Sister Thorn weren't enough for you, so you took the Swastika Scissors Duo too!
However, it's understandable. Gloria and Fafnir fled all the way to the east coast of Bema. According to the setting in the brainless Japanese light novels, the first creature a dragon encounters after hatching will be very close to it, and it has to be a mother figure. Gloria naturally wanted to find her beloved daughter, and Meredith naturally followed.

"Who else can shoulder this heavy responsibility?!"

Xia Di felt a pang of sorrow.

“When Micah and I came here to catch Zahak, there was a Zeon officer under us who was quite capable, so we had him handle things.”

Morrison made this suggestion.

This Zeon officer had attended a proper military academy, and it was he who put forward a very insightful and effective strategy, preventing the mission of leading a group of outlaws to deal with Zahak's navy from becoming an insurmountable challenge.

"Awesome! A large operation has both great challenges and great benefits. It also brings in a lot of talented people. Such a capable person must be promoted."

Xia Di ordered someone to summon the officer immediately.

After the officer arrived.

Xia Di knew Li Site's nature well. According to his approach, no matter what task he was assigned, he would first finish his work before he would have any initiative.

The manager of Jinlugang Port—regardless of whether he's actually the manager or not, the name just needs to sound impressive.

Once this title was assigned...

The officer was overwhelmed with gratitude, speechless with excitement. He declared that he would keep a close eye on the wealthy man, taking charge of dock management and all aspects of commercial administration. From now on, he would be the de facto controller of Jinlu Port, with its weapons and cannons; anyone who dared to rebel would be killed first.

Seeing the officer's expression, Xia Di understood a little better why Li Si Te had grown so big; Heavenly Port had replaced all of its own.

Take, for example, the core staff on the Fleck's Revenge. Lister himself split the loot equally with everyone else. Damn it, General Finn and Archer earned the same amount of money. Is that reasonable?

But there was no other way; back then, we had to drift around at sea. Although Archer is now a useless piece of trash, his dragon language magic is incredibly powerful. But if you ask him, he's forgotten everything. Go ahead and mess with him.

But at the time, they were considered a treasure, and cooks held a high status on ships.

If even the mentally challenged are taken care of, how could others not be taken care of? After the Great Robbery, all the scum under his command, regardless of their merits, were given a thousand gold dragons to squander in the Heavenly Port's money-grubbing den.

Li Site was a remarkable man; he ate 150,000 tons of beef by himself. As a Taoist priest who profited 60% of his wealth, he deserved his fate.

"Now that everything's arranged here, let's set off and head to the trade wind anchorage to see what's going on."

Xia Di judged that staying idle here would make one sick, because the previous war had left Jinlu Port needing time to recover, and the entertainment industry was just so-so; if you wanted to have fun, you had to go west of the Narrow Sea.

Raine is a god devoid of responsibility; it's impossible to make decisions based on him.

Morrison didn't even consider that Killer's worldview was completely different from that of normal people. He only spent money now because he had too much money to handle and wanted to save trouble. According to him, he had never spent a single copper coin on food, hotels, or prostitutes before. If you're not satisfied, go to the Ministry of Justice and sue me. It's that simple.

"Eat your fill and then go for a rip."

After the negotiations with the Holy Spirit Church ended, Archer, who had been forcibly taken over by Magnus, also boarded the ship. His tongue was bulging. "I need to hire a lady to massage me for a while. I'm too drunk to get in."

Everyone inside the room wore a tactical grimace.

Archer, the ultimate idiot, is the least likely candidate. Azathoth, upon seeing the indescribable Lord Azathoth, was so terrified he wet his pants.

Only Shadi can make the decision.

"Then let's get ready in a bit, call the brothers, we need to leave before nightfall to help out Brother Ao."

Right after Xia Di finished speaking.

A call came from the wireless device inside the room. Looking at the code on the simple black and white pixel screen, it was Swan's device calling.

"Ok?"

Xia Di paused for a moment. Strangely, he hadn't been able to contact Micah for the past few days, and Swan was also out of contact. However, he had heard that Swan was on the run, so it was normal that he couldn't be reached. He had probably already fled to Dugri.

He immediately put on the somewhat uncomfortable headphones and answered the message.

But it was Micah's voice that came from inside, cutting straight to the point.

Is Lister there? I must contact him immediately.

Micah and Swan were both seriously injured. Both were Aranians. Being a national hero sounds impressive, but now it was the Emperor's decree, and there was no way to hide. Wesker was the imperial envoy and had the highest authority to handle this matter. No one in Aran could do anything to Wesker.

If Lister doesn't come, Micah and Swann will really be in big trouble.

[I thought you were dead after being out of contact for so long. Lister isn't here; he's off on the greatest adventure of the 27th century. Except for one wise tiger-man, it's all women, damn it.]

Seeing that Micah had responded, Xia Di was overjoyed. It meant that the matter was settled. Since they were from bad class backgrounds, they could be considered international friends. Claude Micah Swan, on the other hand, were true national heroes.

[It's over, brother. The eldest prince... has passed away. The Emperor himself has personally decreed that the imperial horse must come to the capital.]

After Micah finished speaking...

It scared Xia Di so much that his blood ran cold.

no……
