Seeing how Honoka treated him, Hai Shen smiled instead of getting angry, nodding and flattering: "So it's you who wears it, girl. It fits you, very well~"

Honoka was stunned when she saw this, and whispered in Xia Yu's ear: "What's wrong with this old guy? Why did his attitude suddenly become so attentive...?"

Xia Yu hugged Honoka's waist: "Haha, he was impressed by your husband's strength~"

"No wonder..." Honoka reacted and looked at the sea cucumber with more disgust:

"Brother Xia Yu, don't get too close to people who can change their faces and masks like this. They are the scariest and most disgusting people!"

Xia Yu nodded: "Don't worry, this old guy is just my pawn. No matter how pretentious he is, at least his title as the pillar of the Sea Country still has some value..."

"After a few days, when all the goods are worth it, I will make people like him pay the price. Well... I guess he will most likely be a beastman or an orc in his next life."

"Human-beast? Orc? What do they mean?" Honoka opened her cute big eyes. It was the first time she heard these two new words.

"I'll explain it to you sometime. It's quite interesting."

"Hehe, okay..."

Looking at Xia Yu and Honoka whispering something intimately and glancing at him from time to time, Hai Cucumber knew that these two people must be saying bad things about him.

There's nothing we can do about it. Finally, a strong and obedient man has arrived in the Sea Kingdom, so we have to endure it.

At this time, a tailor suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted:

"Look! It's the ship of the Royal Gold Transport Team. Lord Starfish is back!"

"Huh?" The sea cucumber was stunned, and quickly looked in the direction he pointed. Judging from the shape of the ship and its speed, it was undoubtedly the ship of the gold transport team.

"Strange, how come Haixing came back so quickly?"

Normally, it takes at least three days to transport the goods to the Hidden Mist Village, but this time it only took less than a day and a half.

Just as everyone was puzzled, a deafening alarm sounded from the gold-carrying ship approaching the shore:

"There are intruders! The Funato clan has invaded, take shelter quickly!"

……

Chapter 114 Xia Yu's True Purpose

For some reason, the sky, which was cloudless a second ago, was suddenly covered by dark clouds.

There were flashes of lightning, accompanied by bursts of rumbling thunder. On the distant sea level, a large number of mighty and domineering pirate ships appeared in everyone's sight.

In a blink of an eye, heavy rain poured down and the wind blew and the waves surged.

On the pirate ship, a young man with his arms folded across his chest, had light blond hair, white and gray eyes, a fierce expression, and his eyes were fixed on the Sea Kingdom in the distance.

He remained completely unmoved by the biting sea breeze, his solid muscles seeming to be able to defend against everything.

This person is none other than Funado Kuromaru, the third son of the patriarch of the Funado clan.

"Humph, that's right. The sea should look like the sea. Only the rough sea water can make these losers feel awed."

Just as Black Mist was sighing, a bald man slowly stepped forward and respectfully reported: "Lord Black Mist, at the current speed, we will be able to land on the territory of the Sea Kingdom in ten minutes."

"Yes." Black Mist nodded: "Notify everyone, don't be afraid to go ashore, kill anyone you see! I will make the entire Sea Nation pay for the deaths of my tribesmen!"

"By the way, where is my eldest brother now?"

The bald man replied, "Young Chief's fleet should arrive here in an hour."

"One hour? So fast?" Funado Kuromiri frowned. "It seems I have to act quickly. The head of the Daimyo of the Sea Country must not be snatched away by my big brother!"

After saying that, Funato Kuromari rolled up his sleeves and jumped directly into the sea...

……

The Kingdom of the Sea, in Dalang Island.

Hearing the continuous alarms from the gold transport ship, the villagers had already become chaotic and fled in all directions.

The bad reputation of the Funato clan is well known to everyone living by the sea.

They are a completely barbaric tribe that will start killing anyone if they disagree with them. In recent years, many fishermen and merchant ships have been sunk by this tribe, leaving no one alive.

At this time, the sea cucumber was loudly commanding his subordinates around him.

"You guys, go and notify the Kirigakure ninjas at the base to come and fight off the enemy!"

"The rest of you, go evacuate the villagers. Make sure you do it as quickly as possible and have them hide as well as possible. Don't let them come out!"

That being said, the sea cucumber actually knew clearly that with so many people around, where could he hide?

The Funato clan is coming with great force, and it is obvious that they are planning to invade the Sea Kingdom. As long as the villagers are still in this country, they will not be able to escape their clutches even if they hide back home.

Moreover, most of the villagers in the Sea Kingdom make a living by fishing, and there are countless people working on the shore and in the port. It is simply impossible to evacuate everyone in a short period of time with only these few subordinates.

Before the Kirigakure ninjas stationed here arrive, we must find someone to hold back the Funato clan!

The sea cucumber's gaze was fixed on Xia Yu.

"Little brother Xia Yu! I'm going to trouble you again this time. Can you please use your strength to help our Sea Country hold out for a while?"

Xia Yu shook his head slightly: "No."

"Ah?" When these words came out, not only Kaixing, but even Honoka was stunned.

"Little brother, as long as you can help our Sea Country resolve this crisis, I will give you three carts of cloth, no, five carts!"

"I don't need it."

"This..." Sea Cucumber was completely anxious. He thought Xia Yu was a person who would work obediently if given a little bit of profit, but he never thought that he would directly reject his request this time.

"Ten cars! Plus a bounty of 1000 million taels!" Sea Cucumber gritted his teeth and reported a more tempting number. This was already his limit.

Honoka's eyes widened when she heard this. She secretly pulled Xia Yu's arm and whispered:

"Brother Xia Yu, just agree to him. Ten carts of cloth are enough for me to make three sets of clothes for Yingying Beast!"

Xia Yu smiled slightly, raised his voice and said: "Don't worry, I want more than this."

They will not be willing to spend money unless they pay a price.

Xia Yu didn't plan to waste any more words with the sea cucumber, so he pulled the puzzled Honoka aside and quietly became a spectator.

Haixing led the gold transport team to the sea cucumber and asked anxiously, "Where are the Mist Ninjas who are responsible for protecting the safety of the Sea Country? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Sea Cucumber: "I have sent someone to notify them, and they will probably be here soon."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the coast.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge red-shelled crab emerging from the water.

The crab quickly came ashore, and screams could be heard everywhere it went. Standing on top of it was a man with yellow hair and gray eyes. The more people the crab killed, the more excited the man became. He laughed loudly and said:

"Hahahaha, my name is Funado Kuromaru! You bunch of losers, I'm going to show you how powerful the Funado clan is!"

The guards were no match for the giant crab. Under its sharp claws, they were so small that they had no chance to resist and fled in panic.

Seeing the giant crab approaching inland, the sea cucumber was extremely anxious and shouted, "Starfish, you have a good relationship with that guy named Xia Yu, let him come and help! He doesn't listen to me!"

"Hmm?" Looking in the direction pointed by the sea cucumber, Haixing noticed Xia Yu and Honoka sitting quietly in the corner.

"Xia Yu, you're back from Ghost Island?" Hai Xing was overjoyed, and quickly dragged Hai Cucumber to Xia Yu and begged, "Hurry up and drive away the people from Funato, or our Sea Country will be in trouble!"

Xia Yu said nothing and completely ignored their meaning.

Hai Xing was anxious: "Xia Yu, little brother! How could you do this? In the final analysis, the Funato clan took revenge on our Sea Country because of you. Do you want the people of our Sea Country to bear the consequences of your sins?"

Xia Yu sneered when he heard this: "Because of me? Ha... If I hadn't dealt with their people before, would you still be alive and talking to me now?"

"..." Hai Xing was speechless for a moment. At this moment, the guard who went to report the news ran back with a disappointed look on his face:

"Master Kaisei, the reinforcements will not come! The Daimyo has already abandoned the island and left under the protection of the Kirigakure ninjas. My two lords, let's run away!"

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, the starfish and the sea cucumber turned pale and couldn't believe what they heard.

The sea cucumber screamed in despair and cursed: "Daimyo, how can you be such a bastard! You ran away with the Kirigakure ninjas to save your life, but what about the lives of all the people on Dalang Island!"

The last reliance fell through, and Haixing knew that the only one who could change the current situation was Xia Yu in front of him.

With a plop, Hai Xing knelt in front of Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, little brother, as long as you can help us escape this crisis, we will agree to any conditions you offer! It doesn't matter how much money it is! We will pay you back!"

“I don’t want money…”

"So...what do you want?"

Seeing that the time had come, Xia Yu finally stated his long-planned purpose:

"You are the pillars of the Sea Country. You have a certain status in the hearts of the villagers, and your words are convincing..."

"I want you two... to help me become the new daimyo of the Sea Kingdom! Let the villagers willingly serve me as their king..."

……

Chapter 115: The Desperate Funato Clan

"this…"

The starfish and sea cucumber would never have thought that Xia Yu actually had such ambitions.

Haixing was very conflicted. In fact, he knew that it didn't matter to Xia Yu whether he agreed or not. After all, Xia Yu had solved the monsters on the mother island and the [God Hidden] on the ghost island. If he could solve the invasion of the Funato clan this time, I believe that the villagers of the Sea Kingdom would gradually respect and support him...

The reason why Xia Yu discussed this with him was nothing more than a matter of time. It was only because he had a say in the Sea Country, and his words were more convincing, which could save him from unnecessary trouble and allow Xia Yu to take the top position faster...

"boom!"

While the two were still struggling, on the other side, the guards and villagers at the port who had not had time to escape were killed by the red-shelled crabs right in front of them.

The pirate ships of the Funado clan also arrived at the shore one after another. Groups of pirates, armed with harpoons, marched towards the inland with great momentum.

Several pirates noticed the presence of Xia Yu and the others, and laughed and mocked:

"What's wrong with these guys? Why don't they run away? Are they scared silly?"

"Looking at the clothes they are wearing, they should be nobles of the Sea Kingdom. Hehehe, don't fight with me, these people are my prey!"

"Tsk tsk, the money is yours and the red-haired chick is mine!"

These pirates walked towards Xia Yu and others with harpoons in their hands. They knew that there were no ninjas in the Sea Country. In their eyes, Xia Yu and others were like lambs to be slaughtered. They had no ability to resist and could only be abused.

Seeing the murderous pirates approaching, Starfish and Sea Cucumber were completely panicked. Although they were the three pillars of the Sea Kingdom, they were just good at swordplay on weekdays and were not good enough to deal with ninjas.

In the face of death, Sea Cucumber subconsciously took several steps back. He finally lost his patience:

"Xia Yu, little brother, I...I agree to your request,"

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded expressionlessly, then glanced at Haixing: "What about you? Master Haixing?"

"I..."

Hai Xing was reluctant at first, after all, he had served the daimyo for most of his life. However, looking at the bodies of guards and civilians scattered all over the ground, and thinking that the daimyo he trusted had already fled, after struggling for 0.1 seconds, he gritted his teeth and responded firmly:

"As long as you can protect the people of the Sea Kingdom, the sea cucumber and I will obey you from now on!"

"Very good..." Xia Yu got the answer he wanted. He walked slowly to the two of them and protected them behind him. He turned his head and reminded them in a cold voice:

"Remember what you said today. As long as you obey me, I guarantee that your status in this country will remain unchanged. If you dare to betray me, I will make sure you die in the most humiliating way possible..."

"Yes, I understand."

Feeling the coldness emanating from Xia Yu's body, the starfish and sea cucumber couldn't help but shiver. At the same time, they also breathed a long sigh of relief.

With Xia Yu standing up for himself, at least today, he won't die.

"Brother Xia Yu, be careful." Uzumaki Honoka grabbed Xia Yu's hand and looked at him with a worried look.

Honoka knew that Xia Yu was very powerful, but the number of pirates attacking this time was too large, so she was still a little worried.

Xia Yu gently stroked Honoka's chubby face and smiled, "It's okay, wait for me for a few seconds."

"Oh, it seems that these two young people are a couple! Come on, brothers, throw the man into the sea to feed the fish, and leave the woman to me! Whoever can catch this woman first will make him line up behind me when I'm done enjoying her!"

The bald leader shouted loudly, and the pirate brothers behind him were like chicken blood, holding harpoons and stabbing at Xia Yu and others frantically.

"Hmph..." Xia Yu raised his hands slightly, and quickly formed seals with both hands. The speed of the seals was so fast that it was dazzling, and almost stunned Honoka beside him:

"Brother Xia Yu, your fingers are so fast? Why didn't I feel it before..."

"Ninja? He's a ninja! Everyone be careful!"

Seeing Xia Yu's gesture, the pirate soldiers in the front row hurriedly stopped and looked at Xia Yu with fear, wondering what kind of ninjutsu he was going to perform.

But after waiting for a long time, nothing around me changed at all.

"Hahahaha, that's what I told you! Where did the Sea Country come from? This kid is just pretending!"
