Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 264 Yadel's Soul Contract!

Looking at Cohen who was talking so eloquently, Beckman and the other two fell into silence.

They were very suspicious, wondering if the Captain was planning to train the Scarlet Reavers into a naval fleet?
When will pirates start to follow the rules!
If they really follow the rules, why would they be pirates? Wouldn't it be better for them to join the army and bring honor to their families?

It's just ridiculous.

Especially Babos and Will, their faces suddenly turned bad after hearing that there was no place for them in the four newly established core departments in the group.

Once the group operates according to the provisions of the code, it means that their power will be completely undermined.

Cohen had anticipated their reactions. After introducing the Pirate Code, his tone was filled with undeniable determination and eye-catching ambition:
"This code doesn't just bind us, the Crimson Reavers.

In the foreseeable future, this code will become the rules that all pirates in the Endless Sea abide by!

As I said before, we must restore the glory of the ancient Pirate King Leonard Augustus and conquer the entire Endless Sea!"

Cohen's ambition shocked everyone, including Flint.

What Cohen meant was that he wanted to set rules for pirates all over the world!
He is not just trying to restore the glory of One Piece, he wants to be the new generation of Pirate King!
……

After Beckman and the other two left, Cohen said to Flint:

"Thank you for your cooperation, Captain. If it weren't for you, the three of them wouldn't have let go so easily."

Flint took a puff of his cigar and stared at the mask on Cohen's face:
“The leader promised me before that as long as I could convince them, he would give me a chance for revenge.

Relying solely on the ghost ship is not enough to fight against the Southern Territory Empire, which has a heritage and history of tens of thousands of years.

If I'm not mistaken, this so-called opportunity should be related to the leader's true identity."

Cohen showed admiration in his eyes and said:
"As expected of a former Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy, the Southern Territory Empire has done a truly idiotic thing by pushing you away."

Flint remained noncommittal about Cohen's praise and asked:

"So, the Captain's true identity is the heir to an empire?

Or the controller of a large organization?
Apart from these two identities, I really can't think of anyone else who has the courage to confront the five empires."

Cohen shook his head.

"Flint, when the time is right, I will tell you my true identity."

After a brief pause, Cohen added:
"Perhaps, you will have a chance to see your daughter again, Claire Salgado!"

Hearing his daughter's name, Flint's expression suddenly froze, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes:
"What else do you know?
who are you? "

Cohen had anticipated Flint's reaction and said calmly:
"Your daughter is not dead, but alive and well.

Think about it carefully. In that fatal situation, who would risk offending the Southern Territory Empire to save you?

As for my identity, don't worry, I have no connection with the Southern Territory Empire."

Flint felt a surge of surprise and uneasiness, which then turned into uncertainty and confusion.

My daughter is not dead!

Is it even possible that she saved herself?
Who is the other party? Why does he know so much about my affairs...

Suddenly, Flint thought of a possibility!
Prophecy Church!

The other party has a close relationship with the Church of Prophecy!
Or maybe he is simply a member of the Church of Prophecy!

A prophet who could peek into the past of a legendary transcendent like himself must be at least a saint!

Flint was shocked. The true identity of this mysterious leader who could command the saints of the Church of Prophecy was truly shocking.

After Cohen's reminder, Flint suddenly remembered all the unreasonable things that happened at the beginning.

He was being hunted down by the Southern Territory Empire's execution squad and had been fatally wounded. Even his legendary realm was shattered. Logically, there was no possibility of survival.

But in the end, he somehow came back to life.

Could it be that what the other party said was true, that not only did his daughter not die, but she also saved him from the people of the Southern Territory Empire?
But how is this possible?

At that time, Claire was just a little girl who had just reached adulthood and hadn't even broken through to the bronze level. How could she possibly do such a thing?

Flint was full of doubts. He stared at Cohen for a long time, and then his hoarse voice rang out:

"From now on, I will carry out all your orders meticulously.

In exchange, I hope you will fulfill your promise!"

Cohen slowly extended his hand and said with a faint smile:

"It's a pleasure to work with you, General Flint Salgado!"

After watching Flint leave, Cohen took out the communication stone and contacted the Queen.

After sharing their heartfelt feelings, Cohen got down to business:
"Sister, do you still remember those blank soul contracts I asked you to sign before you left?"

Adele replied:
"Remember, why, do you want to use it?"

Cohen said in a deep voice:

"I guess I'll need it soon. I might even need it to restrain a Saint!"

Adair was slightly surprised and asked:

"What are you going to do, negotiate with a saint?

Too dangerous……"

Cohen explained in a low voice and said:

"Sister, this risk is worth taking. Stop trying to convince me. I'm sure of it."

Adele bit her lip and said:

"You must be careful. Feel free to use the soul contract. I have divine protection. I can even restrain the soul of a saint!"

……

Flint drove the stealth ship "Deep Sea" all the way down. With the legendary guards and the characteristics of the stealth ship itself, he soon approached the place where Cohen had arrived with Mr. Modow before.

Looking at the dazzling sea in the distance and the Sea Shark Knights patrolling nearby from time to time, Flint's face became solemn and he asked:
"The Shark Tribe's territory is just ahead. If we go any further, we'll easily be spotted by patrolling sentries."

Cohen said:

"It's okay. All we need is for them to notice us. Just drive forward."

Seeing that Cohen was so confident, Flint had no choice but to bite the bullet and drive the stealth boat towards the center of the brilliant sea.

Not long after, a powerful magical wave came from afar, and then three half-shark knights holding sea forks appeared near the stealth ship, with extremely unfriendly alertness on their ferocious faces.

Cohen said something to Flint, who summoned his magic and shouted loudly into the depths:
"Chief Duruk, the heir of the Pirate King comes to pay his respects!"

Accompanied by the vibration of magic, Flint's voice instantly awakened the entire sea area.

In an instant, at least three auras of the same level as Flint rose from the depths of the sea.

Three hidden legendary shark people!
Flint suddenly felt his scalp tingling. The deep sea was not a place where humans were good at. Once the talks between the two sides broke down, Flint didn't have much confidence that he could escape with Cohen.

Three legendary ones?

Cohen's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything to attack Flint.

As far as he knew, there was at least one saint-level sharkman guarding the psionic core.

A hoarse voice sounded from the depths of the sea:

“Pirate King?

The Pirate King has disappeared for tens of thousands of years, where did his successor come from?

Hearing this voice, Flint's expression changed slightly, and he whispered to Cohen:

"This person is not much weaker than Mr. Modo of Pale Wing. He is at least at the high level of Legendary rank."

Cohen's face showed no worry at all, and he simply replied:
"I'm here to take back what the Pirate King left behind!"

The sound was transmitted clearly in the dark seabed through the rolling magic power.

It instantly caused an uproar among the shark people.

Noisy sounds came from all directions, and the high-frequency vibrations unique to the sirens kept hitting the ears of the two.

Cohen clearly felt that an extremely obscure aura was watching him.

Saint level!

The Saint level of the Shark People.

Not long after, a cold snort was heard and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

It was the same hoarse voice as before:
"You come in alone and leave that Flint outside!"

Cohen was not surprised that the other party obviously knew Flint's identity.

With such a big commotion before, it is impossible for the Shark People not to find out any information.

As the former leader of the Crimson Reavers, Flint Blackfang is quite well-known in the Endless Sea.

Flint glanced at Cohen, who gave him a reassuring look.

Then he said loudly:

"My level of cultivation is too high to withstand the high pressure under the sea. I hope Chief Duruk will understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, a green scale shot straight out from the depths of the sea and stopped beside Cohen.

Cohen grasped the scales, and a green light spread around his body. After leaving the stealth ship, he was still able to move freely.

Cohen bowed slightly towards the depths, and then, led by the Shark Knight, rushed towards the dazzling sea.

……

The shark people's base camp was made of a huge shell. When Cohen entered, there was only one person in the entire hall.

The shark tribe leader, Druk, sat on a throne made of fish bones, looking at Cohen coldly:

"Are you the new leader of the Crimson Reavers?

When did you become the heir of the Pirate King? "

Cohen replied calmly:

"These two identities are not in conflict. All the clan leader needs to know is that I am here to help you escape."

Duluk narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"Liberation from what?
What do we need to be free of?"

Cohen chuckled and said:

“Before the ancient Pirate King Leonard Augustus became a god, he entrusted most of his wealth to the King of the Sea Clan.

The king of the sea tribe at that time was the chief of the mermaid tribe. This chief found the ancestor of your shark tribe and tricked him into signing a contract - the extraordinary people of the shark tribe who were above the legendary level must guard here until the treasure was reopened.

Bound by your oath, you have guarded this place for over 20,000 years.

Don’t you want to be free?”

After Cohen finished speaking, Duluk fell into deep shock. He was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke, his voice like gravel rubbing against armor:

"Even the mermaids don't know about this. How did you, a human, find out?"

Cohen said calmly:

"I told you, I'm the heir of the Pirate King!"

A feeling of surprise and uncertainty welled up in Duluk's heart.

Reason told him that the Pirate King, who had disappeared for tens of thousands of years, could not have any successor, but Cohen's words proved that his identity seemed to be true.

Otherwise, there is no reason why he could know so many secret things.

Duluk pondered for a long time and asked:

"What can you do."

Cohen said:

“I can help you open the treasure.

As long as the treasure is reopened, the oath that binds you will naturally be broken."

Duluk sneered:
"The treasure below was sealed by the ancient Pirate King and the ancient Sea King. Do you think you can unlock it with just you, a human who is not even at the Gold Rank?"

Cohen turned his head, his gaze lingering for a moment at a corner of the hall, and said:
"Of course I can't do it on my own. I need a helper. A descendant of the Sea King's bloodline."

Before Duluk could speak, a whisper suddenly sounded in his ears and he was stunned.

Then he looked at Cohen deeply and said:

"Wait here for a moment."

After saying that, he disappeared on the spot.

Cohen was not surprised by this and waited for Druk at ease.

The shark tribe leader, Duluk, came to a more secluded place, bowed slightly, and said:

"Uncle, do you think this human's words are credible?"

An old voice sounded:

“Our ancestors have been studying how to unlock the seal of the treasure below, and over the years we have gained some clues.

He was right. It indeed required a descendant of the Sea King and a special ritual to completely unlock it.

The ritual to unlock it was personally blessed by the ancient Pirate King. Apart from him, no one else should know about this ritual.

Duluk's expression changed slightly, and he asked:

“Uncle, can you tell his true identity?
The mask he was wearing was strange, and I couldn't sense his aura or make out his features."

The deep voice of the Shark Saint rang out:

"Can't see through."

Duluk looked startled and said:

"Even you can't see through it?
Who is this person?"

The Sharkman Saint narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and murmured softly:
"Able to conceal himself from the detection of the Saint, this human male possesses extraordinary bearing and possesses many unknown secrets..."

The Shark Saint's voice paused, a hint of astonishment in his voice, and he slowly said:

"I think I know who he is. It's really strange why this person came to the Endless Sea again!"

Duluk asked quickly:
"who is it?"

The Shark Saint said:
"Where is the closest to this place?"

Duluk was stunned for a moment and replied:

"The human race's northwest continent."

The Shark Saint continued to ask:
“A young man has been unusually active in the northwest continent recently. Like this person, he is well versed in some unknown secrets.

Able to hide one's identity in front of legends and saints who are far above one's level.

Everyone says he's... the Son of Prophecy!"

Deep horror filled Duluk's eyes, and he blurted out:

"King of Effiin, Lord of Shadows, Korn Corleone?"

The Shark Saint nodded slowly:
"There will be no outsiders except him."

Duluk's face was full of disbelief, and he said:
"How is it possible? How could King Effiin become the leader of the Scarlet Reavers?

I have dealt with the Scarlet Raiders before. Their new leader should be the son of the founder of the Scarlet Raiders.

How could it be him? "

The Shark Saint said calmly:
“There’s a different person underneath the mask, and who can tell?

Perhaps he had killed the previous leader, or captured him, or reached some agreement with him.

It’s all possible.”

Duluk didn't know what to do for a moment and could only look at his uncle.

The Shark Saint said:
“If the other party is truly the King of Effiin, then perhaps we can actually be freed from this eternal curse.

Others may not know about the One Piece's unsealing ceremony, but he may know it.

Don't forget, this person once single-handedly led the Battle of Florence that shocked the continent.

Even the combined efforts of the Central Empire, the Eastern Territory Empire, and the Black Tomb couldn't do anything to him.

If he wasn't fully confident, he wouldn't have come to us."

Duluk had an idea in mind and asked:
"Then we cooperate with him?"

The Sharkman Saint nodded and said:

“Cooperation, I can sense that changes on the continent are not far away.

Perhaps a new king of the sea tribe is about to be born. At this time, joining forces with a promising human king may not be a bad thing."

Druk asked:
"So should we expose his identity and gain the upper hand?"

The Shark Saint chuckled and said:

"Do you really think he doesn't know we can see who he is?

He was so confident, not because of his status as the leader of a pirate group.

He dares to walk into your palace so carelessly because we can see through his identity and therefore dare not use force against him.

Don't forget, he once had a hellhound that could bite a saint to death!

How can you be so sure that he doesn't have any other means to suppress the Saint at this moment?"

Duluk took a deep breath and said after a while:

"Cunning human, he has decided to take us down."

The Shark Saint chuckled and said:

"Don't underestimate him, he can even kill a saint!"

In the Sharkman Palace, Cohen was admiring the unique decorations with great interest until Duruk reappeared.

Druk's attitude was obviously much better than before, and he asked:

"What price will our Shark People have to pay to break the seal?"

Cohen smiled faintly:
"I want to take all the treasures below, and also sign an offensive and defensive alliance with us."

Duluk narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering his uncle's words, and asked:
"Is this offensive and defensive alliance made with the Crimson Reaver, or something else?"

Cohen was not surprised that the other party had discovered his identity. He deliberately exposed his flaws just for this opportunity.

Gaining a powerful ally for Effiin among the sea tribes would definitely be a great help in the future attack on the Kingdom of Ceylon from the sea.

A solemn expression appeared on Cohen's face.

"It was made with me personally!"

Duluk finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Okay, as long as you can break the seal, we, the Shark People, are willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with you."

Cohen snapped his fingers, took out a soul contract, and said:

“My cultivation is not yet enough to bind a Saint-level transcendent with a soul contract.

The soul vibrations above come from my wife. Please have your Saint sign the agreement with her."

Long before leaving Effiin, Cohen had Yadel sign several blank soul contracts.

This is so that in the future, when a contract is to be signed with a legendary or even higher-level extraordinary person, she will be the contracting party.

A solemn expression appeared in Duluk's eyes as he said sternly:

"Do I have to sign it with a saint? I don't have the qualifications?"

Cohen shrugged his shoulders.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that for what we need to do in the future, just a few Legendary ranks are far from enough!"

Druk continued:

"Even if your wife is the youngest Legendary on the continent, I'm afraid she can't bind a Saint with a soul contract."

Cohen smiled faintly and said:
"That's my business. You just need to deliver this contract."

Duluk looked at Cohen deeply, took the contract and disappeared again.

The Sharkman Saint looked at the contract in Duruk's hand, and his expression became very solemn.

The content of the contract is very detailed, and it is obvious that it was carefully drafted in advance.

This once again proves that Cohen had actually planned to cooperate with the Shark People as King Effiin.

The specific content of the contract is that as long as Cohen can help the shark people to be freed, the two sides will establish an offensive and defensive alliance in the future.

Every time the Shark People take action, Effiin will pay a considerable reward.

Similarly, when the Shark People need help, as long as the same price is paid, Effiin will also send troops to help.

The two sides also agreed on specific details such as mutual trade and strengthened intelligence cooperation.

When the Sharkman Saint saw the signature and soul mark of Yadel Angryn, his expression became more solemn.

He opened his mouth slowly and said:

"No wonder Cohen is so confident. His wife's soul fluctuations are even more powerful than those of an average saint.

If I'm not mistaken, she must have used some powerful treasure to bless her soul power.

This couple is truly not to be underestimated!"

Duluk's expression changed slightly and he said:

"Will uncle sign it?"

"Sign, I have a feeling this is our Shark Tribe's chance!"

After saying this, the Sharkman Saint imprinted his own soul fluctuations on it.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Florence, in the royal palace.

Adele, who was reviewing documents, paused, a look of relief appeared on her beautiful face, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The signing of the contract means that Cohen's negotiations with the shark people have been successfully completed.

Soon, she passed the news to Cohen.

At the Sharkman Palace, not long after Cohen received the news from the Queen, Duluk also came out with the Soul Contract and said:
"The contract has been signed. Your Majesty should fulfill your promise."

Cohen reminded:
"Chief Duruk, my identity must remain secret for now."

Druk said unhappily:
"Okay, Mr. Captain, please get started. The entire Shark Tribe can't wait to break this damn seal!"

Cohen chuckled and said:
"No rush, didn't I tell you that we still need a helper with the blood of the ancient sea king?

I think it won’t be a problem for you to take care of this.”

Druk said:
“The ancient king of the sea tribe came from the mermaid tribe.

That is to say, we need to find a mermaid.

After the death of the Sea King, the mermaids split into many races. Which one do you want to belong to? "

Cohen said:

"Any clan will do, preferably one with a richer bloodline."

Duluk muttered:

“How is the Tide Tribe’s leader?
The Tide Tribe has the most interactions with our Shark Tribe. Previously, the Tide Tribe was the royal family of mermaids, but has only fallen out of favor in recent years. Her bloodline should be quite high."

"it is good."

……

The mermaid tribe, the Tide Tribe Palace, the future Queen of the Ocean, Claire, received a message from the leader of the Shark Tribe!
