Contract Red Hair Shanks, the school beauty kicked me off the boat

Chapter 238 Imminent Resurgence
Yang Luo's pirate ship, lower deck.

A celebratory banquet is being hastily prepared to mark the victory of the Yuu Pirates in their fight against Misty Island.

Although Yang Luo's hosting of this banquet was sudden, they felt it was worth celebrating, after all, Misty Island was powerful and could potentially cripple the Tyrant Feather Pirates. Therefore, they had no doubts and were quite happy.

The barrels of wine were carried onto the deck, and the aroma of roasted meat began to fill the air.

Yang Luo's trusted subordinates quietly mixed a colorless and odorless potent sedative into several barrels of wine prepared specifically for lower-ranking crew members.

These liquors were normally consumed by the lower-ranking crew members and would not arouse any suspicion.

"Captain, everything is ready," a trusted aide reported in a low voice, his eyes darting around with a hint of barely perceptible tension.

Yang Luo stood on the ship's railing, gazing at the rolling waves in the distance, his face expressionless: "Proceed according to plan. Remember the target group, and get them thoroughly drunk. At midnight, the operation will commence."

Midnight, the sea breeze is cool.

The noisy deck gradually quieted down, filled with the smell of alcohol and snoring.

Most of the core crew members and officers had already returned to their cabins to rest, leaving mostly low-ranking crew members who were drunk on deck.

Among them, the five hundred people who received special attention were all staggering and unconscious.

Tens of thousands of low-ranking crew members were killed by Ye Yu's Overlord Haki, so the weaker combat crew members were demoted to low-ranking crew members.

Several dark figures emerged from the shadows of the cabin like ghosts, their movements swift and practiced. They covered the mouths and noses of the target crew members with wet rags, and after confirming that they were completely unconscious, they quickly dragged them to several small speedboats that were already waiting on the ship's side.

The entire process was silent, like a dirty hunt.

A similar scene was playing out on Song Ling and Wang Quanshi's pirate ship at almost the same time.

On Lin Muxue's ship, the approach was much simpler and more brutal. She directly ordered several officers to knock out some of the crew members and drag them away. Some resisted, but Lin Muxue unleashed a torrent of lightning, stunning them all.

Speedboats, carrying unconscious sacrificial offerings, like a funeral procession, silently departed their respective pirate ships under the cover of night, heading in a common direction: the outer waters of Misty Island.

The outer edge of Misty Island, at the edge of dense fog.

The speedboat stopped and the engine shut off.

The cadres in charge of the transport looked tense and a little reluctant, but more than that, they were obeying Yang Luo's orders and, knowing how terrifying Ye Yu was, they suppressed their reluctance.

They roughly pushed the unconscious crew members into the icy seawater, and some even used knives to cut the skin of some crew members, allowing the smell of blood to spread more quickly.

"Sorry, brother... If you want to hate someone, hate the Tyrant Feather Pirates, hate Ye Yu." One of the officers muttered to himself, then turned the ship around without hesitation and fled the terrifying area at full speed.

Hundreds of figures bobbed and sank in the icy seawater, the heavy stench of blood breaking the silence at the edge of the mist like a stone thrown into a stagnant pool.

Hiss... hiss...

Deep within the thick fog, the chilling sounds of countless snakes flicking their tongues echoed incessantly.

Cold, greedy vertical pupils lit up in the mist, like floating will-o'-the-wisps. Several small but incredibly fast one-headed serpentine beasts shot out of the mist like arrows, lunging at the floating, dazed pirates.

They did not devour the creatures immediately, but instead used their tails to coil around the unconscious crew members, hissing excitedly as they swiftly dragged them into the depths of the thick fog. This was a tribute offered to the king; they had no right to partake.

The core of Misty Island.

That vast and ancient consciousness fluctuated violently once more. It sensed it! Streams of life-giving flesh and blood, though not top-tier, were being continuously sent into the island!

"Hmm?" The king's thoughts were tinged with surprise, followed by a wild, greedy elation.

"Tribute delivered to our doorstep? And... not just one pirate crew? Who is so generous?"

It quickly realized that this could not be a coincidence; it was premeditated and organized, orchestrated by the pirates who were enemies of the Tyrant Feather Pirates. They feared Ye Yu, and they wanted to use him as a pawn! They wanted to use the flesh and blood of the crew members to accelerate its recovery so that it could deal with the terrifying Ye Yu.

"Foolish and despicable humans, if we're talking about evil and wickedness, some of you humans are even worse than us beasts." The king's mind was filled with cold mockery, but also with pleasure.

"However, I will accept this gift! After my revival, I will naturally deal with the Tyrant Feather Pirates. It's not to help you, but because I must eat this feast."

It began to devour and greedily absorb this newly injected life energy.

The serpentine beast eggs, dormant underground and not yet fully revived, are visibly hatching faster under the nourishment of rich life energy.

Some of the strange beasts that would normally take days to hatch tore through their egg membranes within just a few hours, emitting ferocious howls. Many more beasts were awakened from their deep slumber, their auras rapidly recovering and increasing.

The entire Misty Island is like a giant nest injected with a stimulant, and the process of recovery has been forcibly accelerated.

The fog seemed to have become thicker and colder, and the sense of danger within it had multiplied.

The king's will whispered joyfully: "It's coming soon...it's almost here...Ye Yu...your flesh and blood will be the most perfect coronation for my complete domination of this world!"

At this moment, Yang Luo was in the distance, sneering.

"Then it's up to you."

……

The Tyrant Feather Pirate Ship.

Ye Yu stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

His powerful Observation Haki seemed to detect a faint, extremely distant, yet ominous and bloody tremor. The feeling came from the direction of Misty Island, but it was too vague.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Xia Ling keenly noticed Ye Yu's unusual behavior.

Ye Yu shook his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the direction of Misty Island: "It's not far from Misty Island. My Observation Haki detected the fluctuations in its aura. To be able to sense it from this far away, its strength is formidable."

Xia Ling immediately worried: Could it be that a stronger force has been revived on Misty Island?

Ye Yu speculated: "Logically speaking, the alien beasts should become stronger over time, but this is too fast, something is amiss. However, even if the recovery is earlier than expected, it's fine. The dangers are a good thing."

Xia Ling nodded, after all, they had overcome many dangers and what were considered desperate situations.

However, I still have some worries in my heart, because I'm afraid of a real dead end. After all, those who thought it was a dead end before didn't understand Ye Yu's strength.

……

King's Alliance Temporary Base

Yang Luo received several encrypted messages from different speedboats: "The offering has been delivered."

"The Azure Dragon Pirates are also complete."

"The Domination Pirate Crew is complete."

"The Heavenly Pride Pirate Crew is complete."

……

Yang Luo's lips curled into a sinister smile as he walked to the window, gazing in the direction of Misty Island, his eyes flashing with a venomous light.

"Eat...eat to your heart's content...Lord of the Mist," he muttered to himself, his voice cold and ruthless.

"Grow up quickly with the flesh and blood of my 'brothers.' Then... tear the Tyrant Feather Pirates to pieces. Without Ye Yu, I will no longer be afraid. I will surely be the future ruler of this world. This world should not have a monster like Ye Yu, a monstrous existence."
