This pirate only wants to farm.

When Wangcai first arrived on the island, something seemed off. Lin Qi initially thought it was because Wangcai hadn't been to the island for a long time and was still getting used to it.

But to my surprise, there was a figurehead here.

In this world filled with magic, figureheads are more than just decorations, and not everyone can equip one.

A figurehead is essentially a magical object, often possessing wondrous effects.

Lynch had heard old Tony say that some powerful figureheads could even help ships sink during tsunamis, while others could generate magical fields to reduce the power of cannonballs.

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow, looking at the somewhat absent-minded Wangcai. He knew how picky the little guy was: "So the figurehead hidden here is special?"

Wangcai scratched his head, nodded and then shook his head: "Squeak squeak."

Lin Qi ruffled Wangcai's hair: "You don't know either?"

Lin Qi glanced at the sky, then placed Wangcai on his shoulder: "It's time for a pleasant dinner. I'll go with you to take a look tomorrow. If it's something good, I'll pack it for you."

Wangcai then stopped looking at the small island, happily bared its teeth at Lin Qi, and then made a fierce expression as it stretched out its claws.

Lin Qi laughed and said, "No problem, we'll eat the monster that Elizabeth killed today."

As if triggered by some mechanism, upon hearing the word "eat," Elizabeth's head popped out from the stairwell of the cabin, her big eyes blinking expectantly at Lynch.

"Captain, is it finally time for dinner?"

Lin Qi smiled and nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said to Elizabeth, "Yes, I think the meat of that magical beast looks pretty good. Let's grill some and stew some."

"You should know what wild vegetables and mint are, right? I saw some on that island earlier, could you pick some for me?"

Elizabeth bit her index finger, tilting her head as if pondering what wild vegetables and mint looked like. If it weren't for the drool almost dripping from the corner of her mouth revealing her ignorance, Lin Qi would have truly believed she was using her brain.

Lin Qi shook his head helplessly and patted Wangcai on his shoulder: "I'd better trouble you, First Mate, to go with her to find some wild vegetables and mint leaves. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that this silly girl will bring back some poisonous stuff."

Elizabeth lowered her head shyly, scratched her head, and chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe~"

Wangcai jumped onto Elizabeth's shoulder, squeaking and urging her on.

Elizabeth didn't hesitate either; she took Wangcai and jumped into the sea before the sun set to return to the island.

Lin Qi looked up at the second mate, Skeleton, and shouted, "Come down and help! I can't handle such a huge magical beast by myself."

Whenever there's something good to eat, the second mate, Skeleton, is always quick and efficient. He swiftly untied the rope, climbed down the mast, and rushed into the warehouse to get the monster meat.

Lin Qi hummed a little tune, rolled up his sleeves, and went into the ship's galley as well.

Two hours later, a large pot of steamed monster meat, along with charcoal-grilled monster ribs, was placed on the long table on the deck.

Elizabeth and Wangcai, one human and one monkey, stared longingly at the delicious food on the table. The steam rising from the pot was almost driving them to lose their minds.

Lin Qi sprinkled the last piece of grilled rib with salt, then clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Alright, we can eat now."

"Long live the captain!"

"Squeak!"

"Clap clap!"

In no time, a flurry of activity erupted on the table.

Elizabeth had just spotted a piece of meat close to the bone and even used her Silver Moon Sword Technique when a glint of moonlight flashed across the small meat platter, and her silver fork precisely pierced the piece of meat close to the bone.

Elizabeth had her eye on this piece of meat for a long time. As a noblewoman, she knew very well that meat close to the bone was the most delicious.

But just as Elizabeth happily opened her mouth, ready to take a bite, she suddenly felt her fork slip from her hand, and something stepped on her head.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that the piece of meat stuck to the bone on the fork had disappeared, and Wangcai on her head was holding the piece of meat, and even winked at her mischievously.

"Wow! Wangcai, give me back my meat!"

In an instant, chaos erupted at the dining table.

Only the second skeleton was smiling, elegantly eating roasted and stewed meat with a knife and fork, occasionally teasing the skull on the edge of the table with the meat on his fork.

Enraged, the skull's jaw opened and closed even faster.

Lin Qi looked helplessly at this table of oddballs, and with great reluctance, handed his own piece of meat to Elizabeth, thus ending the war that was about to break out.

The human and the monkey, acting in perfect unison, began to devour the meat close to their bones, their eyes squinting with happiness. But as soon as they swallowed the meat, they suddenly looked at each other again.

"snort!"

"squeak!"

Elizabeth turned her head away from Wangcai, grabbing the huge bone-in ribs with one hand without any hesitation, while her other hand quickly picked up breadfruit and a piece of stewed meat from the table and stuffed them into her mouth without any regard for her image.

"It's delicious, it's absolutely delicious!"

"Even in my father's fiefdom, I have never eaten anything so delicious."

Elizabeth suddenly started talking about her family situation, which made Lynch want to chat as well.

He looked at Elizabeth with some curiosity: "Surely not? Your father is the naval governor, almost a grand duke, how could he possibly skimp on your food?"

Elizabeth, her mouth stuffed full, mumbled, "It's precisely because my father is a Grand Duke that I can't be too presumptuous."

"I usually attend all sorts of messy banquets. To maintain my image, I can only eat very little. Besides, I have to deal with those annoying rich young men at the banquets, so I can barely eat a few bites."

"When I attend banquets or dances like these, I always hide food under my skirt."

Hearing Elizabeth say this, and looking at her exquisite face, Lin Qi nodded in deep agreement.

He could already imagine that a girl as exquisite as Elizabeth would become the target of many young men at the banquet, especially since she was the apple of the eye of a naval governor.

If someone successfully wins Elizabeth's heart, it means they'll rise to the top and reach the pinnacle of life.

However, judging from Elizabeth's uninhibited behavior, those so-called nobles have no hope at all.

No wonder this girl adapted to the ship in just two days. She's not a princess in distress; she's clearly here to liberate herself.

Lin Qi shook his head with a sigh: "It's really amazing that you've grown up. With your appetite, it's a miracle you didn't starve to death at those banquets."

Elizabeth was fighting with Wangcai for a piece of meat in the pot, and she didn't forget to reply, "No, I've only been learning swordsmanship for a year, and my appetite has only grown in that year."

Clang.

Lin Qi and the second mate, Skull, dropped their knives and forks onto the table, their mouths agape.

Even the skull that had been cursing earlier quickly opened and closed its mouth, turning its head to look at Elizabeth, who was fighting with the monkey for meat and had to use the Silver Moon Sword Technique.

a year?

Lynch swallowed hard; he didn't think Elizabeth was intelligent enough to tell such a lie.

So, did he just waste all those years he spent traveling through time?

………………

Meanwhile, in a prison disguised as a library, a middle-aged man with iron ball shackles on his feet had his hair neatly combed and wore a pair of gold-rimmed crystal glasses on his nose.

The children's picture book on the table, with its slightly yellowed pages, presented a different scene in his eyes.

"A monkey? A skeleton? And a pair of green eyes?"

"The silver light represents protection, the green vines represent health, and the peach-colored flowers represent happiness and joy..."

"So what exactly does this coconut with a skull on it represent?"

"They didn't tell me that this symbol would appear..."

The middle-aged man rubbed his temples and closed the picture book.

"So, who exactly deceived my foolish sister?"

For the first time, a look of confusion appeared in the wise eyes of the great Admiral of the Navy.
