Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 111 Preparation before departure
In a small, dark and cramped room.

"Name."

"Wald Bister."

"gender."

"Uh...male."

"age."

"24 is old."

"What did you do before joining the Beast?"

"A student."

"Why become a pirate?"

"At school, Nan... ah no, it was, the person I liked was taken away by a nobleman. I got carried away and beat up that nobleman, and then..."

"Okay, I understand. Next question..."

Osi put down the roster in his hand, stared into the other person's eyes, and asked word by word:

"Have you ever thought about betraying the Beasts, or have you actually done something to betray them?"

"Guuuu~"

He swallowed unconsciously. Under the gaze of those gilded eyes, Bist felt that his entire body, from the inside out, from his soul to his underwear, was seen clearly.

"No, no."

After answering the question with difficulty, he forced himself to look away.

Bister was afraid that if this continued, even the fact that he secretly drank black tea from a male classmate when he was eight years old would be dug up.

"Stare~~"

Osi narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person carefully for a long time before he retracted his gaze and spoke to Jhin next to him.

"I feel a little guilty~"

"Qiang!"

The long sword at Jin's waist suddenly came out an inch.

“But it doesn’t smell like a lie.”

"You pass!"

"boom!"

Jin sheathed his long sword and said coldly, "Don't breathe so hard next time."

"Hey~"

"Got it, got it. Next, uh... Jago."

Ossi continued to flip through the roster in his hand and called out the next name.

"Whoo~"

Only at this moment did Captain Bist finally dare to breathe deeply, his underwear was already soaked.

After wiping the sweat from his palms on his shorts, he stood up and left tremblingly.

When he reached the door, a man with a bald head and black-framed glasses passed by him. He thought it was the next pirate named "Jego".

For no apparent reason, the two of them passed each other for a few steps and then stopped in tacit understanding.

Bist turned around and saw that Jago was also looking at him sideways. The other party adjusted his black-framed glasses and gave Bist a meaningful smile.

Well, after confirming through eye contact, it's the same type of stand.

"Name."

"Jego"

"gender."

"male"

"What did you do before?"

"People who run hotels often take in children who have run away from home..."

……

"He's a really nice guy, taking in a runaway kid. Maybe I'd like to invite him for some tea sometime~"
Bister's lips curled slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart just now miraculously disappeared without a trace.

Full of anticipation, he gradually moved away from the small room, but he was completely unaware that a small golden figure passed by his waist.

Pulling her head back, she gave him a strange look. She didn't understand why his mood suddenly changed from gloomy to cheerful without any warning. Humans are truly amazing.

"ember."

He knocked on the open wooden door and signaled his presence to the person inside.

"Oh! Sister La, why are you here?"

Osi, who was lying on the table, heard La's voice, propped himself up excitedly, and then waved his hand to let the pirate named "Jego" leave.

She had already confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the other party.

"I'm here to find Jhin. I have a mission for him to do."

"What are you doing?"

La walked to the table and gently flipped through the roster on the table. He found that many of the names were checked with a tick behind them, and only a few were crossed out.

"Well, this guy Jin asked me to screen all the new members who joined recently."

Ossi curled his lips and pointed at the tall black figure sitting next to him.

"Yes, I heard from Burfat that Ossi seems to have the ability to see through lies, so I asked him to help catch some bugs in the pirate group."

"It seems to be working well so far. We've already captured several spies from the Navy and the World Government. I plan to interrogate them later."

Jhin sneered, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Well, that's exactly what it should be."

Ladian nodded. After all, Osi had just awakened his soul power not long ago, so it would be good for him to practice more.

"By the way, Sister La, what was the mission you just mentioned?"

"It's the thing I mentioned before."

La didn't answer immediately, but tapped the table lightly with his finger.

The fingertips flashed, and the surrounding air began to distort instantly, isolating the three people from the outside world.

After setting up the sound barrier, Lafang continued:
"Captain Kaido wants you to prepare, Jin. Pick a few trustworthy people and go to Paradise together to verify whether the legendary Golden City really exists."

"The Golden Country? Are you talking about the nonsense that Skepgate talked about?" Jhin remembered what Skepgate said when he came to him for help.

"It's not accurate to say it's nonsense. At least the contents of the logbook don't seem fabricated. In any case, it's worth taking a look in person."

"Oh, remember to bring Wright with you. He has the translated version of the logbook, so he can act as your guide."

"If you really find 'Shandora', then occupy it directly."

"I see. When do we leave?"

Hearing that this was Kaido's order, Jin also stood up, as if wanting to set off immediately.

"It should have been as quick as possible, but you should finish screening the rest of the people first."

La looked at the few blank pages on the roster and decided to finish this task first.

"Remember to keep a few less astute individuals to pass on false information later. As for the others, try not to leave any hidden dangers within the group. After all, this upcoming mission is a secret."

"I see."

……

"Hey~ Jin, take me with you this time~"

In the evening, Osi and Jin completed the loyalty verification of the one hundred pirates planned for today, and they planned to finish off the remaining two hundred people on the island in one go tomorrow.

"why?"

Jhin was packing up his things, planning to go straight to the torture chamber after dinner.

"Why? That's the Golden Island! Everyone wants to see it!"

Ossie made an exaggerated gesture with his hands.

"Besides, if I stay on the island, I'll always be forced to work. It would be a waste not to take such a good opportunity for a public trip."

"Hehe~ This is the root cause." Jin rolled his eyes.

"I can take you there, but I need your sister's consent first."

"Oh my~ Since Sister La didn't explicitly say no to me going, that means she agrees. Do you think I can hide these thoughts from her?"

This is the truth. By not explicitly saying that Osi is not allowed to go out, La actually tacitly agreed that she could be taken with her.

"You have no say. I still have to talk to her."

"Tsk~coward."
