This pirate only wants to farm.

As a farmer, when do you allow your crops to rebel?

Lynch's first thought was to find an axe and chop it open, but he quickly changed his mind when he saw about ten other coconuts hanging on the nearby coconut tree.

No, if we just use destructive methods, I don't think we can make these skeleton coconuts obey.

Destruction is the easiest thing in the world, but Lynch doesn't want to have to be afraid of getting bitten by a coconut every time he picks one.

The snapping sound alone was enough to be annoying, not to mention that Wangcai had also been bitten on the tail by this guy, causing chaos on the boat.

If we don't teach them a lesson, how will they ever enjoy drinking coconut juice so easily in the future?

If it were anything else, Lin Qi could be nonchalant, but he had an extraordinary desire to control the crops he grew in his fields.

Lin Qi looked at the skeletal coconut whose jaw was still opening and closing: "You're a product of the undead and a coconut, aren't you?"

Lin Qi placed his hand on the top of the skull coconut, and after a brief sensory examination, nodded: "I see, it does indeed possess some characteristics of the undead."

"So this can be considered some kind of created undead creature? I understand now, the magic of the Moon Coconut lies in its ability to absorb the elemental power of the sea."

"But because of my abilities, this coconut also possesses the ability to absorb the souls of the dead from the sea. In a sense, could I have created a kind of undead creature?"

"However, since you are another form of undead creature, everything makes sense. No wonder you dared to attack my first mate."

"That's quite a coincidence, I happen to be quite good at dealing with the undead."

Upon hearing Lynch's words, Elizabeth tilted her head, not understanding what he meant, while the second mate, Skeleton, looked shocked.

His expression suggested he hadn't expected Lin Qi to become serious at this moment.

The second mate, nicknamed "Skeleton," ran into the cabin without looking back, quickly brought out an empty oil lamp, and presented it to Lynch with both hands.

Lin Qi took the oil lamp without turning his head, while the second mate, Skeleton, ran straight to the upper deck and lay down, cautiously peeking half his head out from the railing.

Elizabeth blinked blankly, not understanding why the usually indifferent Second Officer Skull looked so scared today.

Isn't that just the green oil lamp that you see everywhere in the cabin?

Seeing that Elizabeth was still standing there in a daze, Wangcai jumped onto Elizabeth's shoulder, grabbed her hair and urged her to go to the upper deck to hide.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Although Elizabeth didn't understand why they had to do this, she followed Wangcai's instructions and lay down next to the second mate, Skull.

Elizabeth looked completely bewildered, with question marks popping up one after another above her head.

"Hey, Captain, what are you all doing? Why are you all so scared?"

Wangcai rolled its eyes at Elizabeth with disdain, then held up a finger and blew on it.

Elizabeth could only shut her mouth and look at the captain who was confronting the coconut.

For some reason, Elizabeth suddenly found the captain carrying the oil lamp to be a little scary.

But the smile on his face was still so gentle and sunny.

Eh?

and many more!

Isn't it noon now?

Why does it feel like it's getting dark...?

If the previous Hades was enveloped in a thin layer of mist, then the Hades is now shrouded in a black mist that is neither visible nor tangible.

The surrounding sea was tinged with a deep, dark black, as if someone had spread out a huge black canvas on the seabed.

The gray-black fog no longer spread outwards from around the ship, but instead seeped outwards in wisps from the black-shrouded seawater.

It was midday, but the light in this area of ​​the sea had dimmed.

A huge, dark cloud appeared out of nowhere, its menacing shape shifting and swirling, obscuring the blazing sun overhead.

The sky darkened, and Lin Qi remained standing in front of the small round table, looking at the skull coconut in front of him, his hand outstretched in mid-air as if sensing something.

Elizabeth, who was lying on the upper deck, felt that the once kind and amiable captain had turned into a gray-black vortex. Just one glance from him made Elizabeth's soul tremble.

The vortex stretched out its hand, gently touched the skull coconut, and pinched its fingers to create a semi-transparent black phantom.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that it is indeed a twisted and wailing ghost.

At this moment, Lin Qi on the deck had no expression on his face.

The pale skin, set against the monotonous color, appeared an ashen white that seemed to belong to the living.

The piles of skeletons in the lower deck trembled, no longer as lively as before. Even the skulls in the cell on the other side had their soul flames dimmed.

Lin Qi simply tugged at the wailing soul with his fingers, casually opened the oil lamp's hatch, and tossed it inside.

A black, cold wind swept across the windless sea, passing over the skull-shaped coconut on the table and the coconut trees planted in the plantation.

One by one, the souls of the dead were swept into the empty oil lamp along with Lin Qi's movements.

One after another, wailing faces crawled out of the oil lamp, trying to squeeze out and beg for mercy, but they were unable to leave the cramped space.

Elizabeth and two others, who were lying on the top deck, suddenly felt a violent sea wind, something they hadn't experienced in a long time, howling across the Hades.

The wailing shook Elizabeth's soul, and her little face was already deathly pale.

Snapped.

The cabin door of the oil lamp was gently closed, and the dark clouds in the sky slowly receded, while the thick black fog that enveloped the Hades gradually dissipated.

The captain was still that sunny young man, standing in front of the round table looking at the unruly coconut.

It's as if everything was just an illusion.

All of this came quickly and went quickly.

Elizabeth rubbed her eyes, unable to be sure for a moment whether what had just happened was real.

However, when Elizabeth saw Wangcai huddled next to the second mate of the Skull Corps, trembling with fear, she realized that everything that had just happened was real.

This……

Is this the captain's true strength?

Looking at the skeleton coconut, which had completely lost its previous liveliness, Lin Qi suddenly smiled happily: "That solves the problem, and we can also replenish the lamp oil while we're at it."

Elizabeth swallowed hard, her face pale, and cautiously raised her head: "Just now, just now that was..."

Lin Qi blinked, looking at the three people on the upper deck with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing? All you did was capture a few dead souls to use as lamp oil, right?"

"Alright, Wangcai, don't be afraid anymore. I believe these coconuts won't bite your tail anymore. I promise they won't."

Lin Qi patted his chest and assured him, his smile so reliable.

However, judging from his expression, it was as if he had no idea what he had just done, as if it were just a trivial matter.

The second mate, Skull, wiped his sweat from his brow, then, still shaken, supported his thigh and slowly straightened up.

Wangcai squeaked carelessly and jumped happily onto Lin Qi's shoulder, baring its teeth at the oil lamp in his hand.

Only Elizabeth opened her mouth wide and started babbling again.

After a moment of stunned silence, Elizabeth cautiously looked at the captain, who seemed like a friendly older brother, and asked, "Captain, did you make such a fuss just to avenge Wangcai?"

Lin Qi rolled his eyes. "Me, that kind of petty person?"

"It's just because this coconut is being unruly."

Lin Qi would never admit to being petty or narrow-minded.

He certainly wouldn't say that he, as a farmer, was being mocked by his own crops and was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Damn it, all I wanted to do was grow a coconut that could purify the water!

The thought that he had grown this damn thing made Lin Qi lose control of his emotions, and he waved to Elizabeth.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, I know how to open this coconut."

"Come on, hack away here!"

"If this stuff doesn't taste good after all this effort, I'll just rot it and use it as firewood!"

Seeing her captain rubbing Wangcai's head with gritted teeth, Elizabeth felt that she had probably guessed right.

Our captain is not only petty, but also a bit biased towards his own men.
