In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

“This isn’t the time to talk about how cute I am!” Euryale wasn’t fazed by a simple compliment; she herself was the embodiment of beauty. “You guys injured Asterius!”

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at Lawrence: "Miss Lawrence..."

"Leave it to me," Lawrence agreed with a smile.

"The key point is that you trapped our ship with a barrier, so naturally we will treat you as enemies..." Fujimaru Ritsuka continued.

"Huh? You mean..." Euryale looked nervously at Lawrence as he walked over, her face showing an adorable "I'm not afraid of you" expression.

Her skills are fine against men, but against women...

"Rest assured, goddess Euryale, I am here to heal Asterius," Lawrence said with a polite smile.

Her situation was special, and even if it weren't, he was a married man who had devoted all his emotions to one person.

Even if that person is gone forever.

Therefore, in Euryale's eyes, her appearance and charm were merely beautiful.

Lawrence had no other ideas.

Euryale looked at Lawrence's Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, with suspicion in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Miss Lawrence is a very powerful Heroic Spirit in the field of medicine, and our misunderstanding has already been cleared up, hasn't it?" Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, reassuring the uneasy Euryale.

"Well... alright, then you take a look at Asterius, he's badly injured." With that, she glared at Hijikata Toshizo.

Most of the wounds on Asterius's body, including those that could have been fatal, were caused by Hijikata Toshizo.

Hijikata Toshizo's face was twitching.

This girl is clearly not my type...

How could I have fallen for a charm spell so easily...?

Lawrence looked at the silent giant. At this moment, Asterius's mask had been removed, and unlike his rugged and tall body, his face looked somewhat youthful.

Without hesitation, she concocted a bottle of jeweled potion and handed it to Asterius: "Please drink this."

Asterius nodded, carefully took the gem potion from Lawrence's hand, and examined it in front of him.

The gem potion looked like an oral liquid compared to his enormous size, even smaller than an oral liquid.

He uncorked the potion and drank it all in one gulp.

His physical injuries healed at a visible speed, and within minutes Asterius was back to his full strength.

"It feels great!" He stammered, but you could tell he was in a good mood.

He gave Lawrence a thumbs up: "It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you!"

Lawrence maintained his composure throughout, bowing slightly and stepping back behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.

“It’s like this, Miss Euryale, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up and Asterius’s injuries have been healed, could you please help us remove the shackles of the barrier?” Mashu sat down next to her, holding Fou.

“Asterius, what do you think?” Euryale didn’t answer, but asked Asterius instead.

Asterius lowered his head, pondered for a while, and then stood up.

He took two steps forward and squatted down in front of Hijikata Toshizo.

Hijikata Toshizo stared expressionlessly at the little giant: "What do you want? Do you want to get cut down by the Shinsengumi again?"

“You are very strong.” To everyone’s surprise, Asterius uttered these words.

Before Hijikata Toshizo could react, he ran up to Drake and Mash and said the same thing.

No one could understand what this somewhat childish Berserker was doing.

After thanking Lawrence again, Asterius approached Fujimaru Ritsuka: "You are, Master?"

“Yes, I am…” Asterius’s imposing size made Fujimaru Ritsuka slightly intimidated.

Lawrence frowned, and was about to say something when he heard Asterius speak again.

“Someone wants to kill her.” He pointed at Euryale, his tone urgent and somewhat wooden. “You are strong, help me.”

"please."

Chapter 649 The Symbol of Pirates

The figure was incredibly tall, even shorter than the tallest person in the world; he was also incredibly muscular, and Blackbeard had no doubt that the gaps between those muscles could snap his arm in two.

He had mysterious blue patterns on his body and a hearty smile on his face.

Most importantly—Blackbeard really did see him!

In the pitch-black eternal night, the lost Atlantis rose from the seabed, and the enormous gods roared that they would drown the world.

At that time, there were three ships on the great whirlpool that was supposedly created by the gods.

One ship was moored in the distance, which Blackbeard couldn't tell him about, while another was in the very center of the vortex, where Drake was confronting it head-on.

There's another one, the Queen Anne's Revenge, owned by Blackbeard.

Just as he watched Drake get into danger, a giant appeared.

Then... with ease, they killed the god who stood at the center of the vortex, wanting to sink the world.

Then, accompanied by loud laughter, he rode the waves and left.

Now, that giant is standing on the sea not far from him.

"Yo." Ou Shen greeted him in a friendly manner.

"...You, you, you, who are you? What kind of Servant are you?" Blackbeard was somewhat incoherent.

Based on what he saw that day and the current situation, he was able to deduce that this tall follower likely possessed the means to manipulate water on a large scale.

Could it be a Noble Phantasm? Or perhaps a skill it possesses?

But no matter what it is, one thing is certain.

That is—the threat to ships was magnified to the extreme.

Sailors rely on ships, and ships rely on the ocean.

This servant can control the ocean.

Blackbeard prides himself on his exceptional swimming skills and is also a Servant, but in this chaotic ocean, who knows what will happen without a ship?

So, Blackbeard... chickened out.

Although he may seem like a crazy, mindless person, as a notorious pirate who is incredibly arrogant at sea, how could he possibly be stupid?

Those who genuinely believe he's stupid are the truly stupid ones.

"And what kind of Servants are you?" Oceanus blatantly feigned ignorance in front of Hector, who almost burst out laughing.

"I am Blackbeard, you tell me your name too, and... why are you holding up my ship?" Blackbeard's tone was very ordinary, really ordinary.

Ou Shen didn't seem to care much about that tone.

He chuckled. "I wanted to see if you guys were the annoying kind of concept pirates, but you don't seem to be?"

“Definitely not!” Blackbeard shouted.

"Oh, so who are you guys, Blackbeard? Never heard of you." Ocean put his hands behind his head.

He had indeed never heard of Blackbeard.

Or perhaps he simply has a low desire to acquire knowledge, and he only uses what's in his head when he needs it.

"I, you...who are you?!" Blackbeard felt a sharp pain.

“My name is Oceanus, and as you can see, I am a Servant.” Oceanus shrugged, his expression casual.

Upon hearing this name, the pupils of all three people on the ship, except for Hector, contracted.

“Oschen, Oschen Annos?” Mary exclaimed, and Anne was also very surprised.

Even Blackbeard... looked utterly astonished.

Oceanus... that's the shared faith of all pirates!

Although pirates are essentially a group of blatant and wicked lawless individuals, they also have their own slogans.

Those are the freest rebels on the high seas!

Pirates, who spent their lives on the sea, were extremely bored, so they found something to keep them occupied and a creed to follow.

Ordinary sailors praised Poseidon, while pirates proclaimed themselves seekers of Oceanus.

It can only be said that sometimes greater fame may not only bring more positive images, but may also encourage evildoers.

Therefore, Oceanus is not only the first navigator and a symbol of rebellion, but also... a symbol of pirates.

......

"You mean, some people have designs on Euryale?" Fujimaru Ritsuka understood what Asterius was saying.

Asterius spoke slowly, so he simply nodded, his eyes filled with the earnestness typical of a child.

"Hey Asterius!" Euryale looked a little anxious. "Is this really okay...?"

"So, you mistakenly thought we were the ones plotting against Euryale, and trapped our ship with a barrier." Lawrence looked at Asterius's enormous body.

"Master, what do you think?" Mash was actually somewhat tempted.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is considering it.

The purpose of this labyrinth trip was to find more information about this singularity, and they ended up finding Asterius, who had little contact with the outside world.

However, unlike Asterius, Euryale clearly came to this labyrinth for some other reason.

In other words...

This is a line that can be followed.

“We’ll help you.” Having gathered her thoughts, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Asterius. “But you’ll need to come aboard with us, is that alright?”

“Okay.” Asterius nodded without hesitation.

He was alone until Euryale came to his labyrinth.
