The two men quickly escaped from the cabin and hid in the captain's room on the deck. The sound of falling rocks above their heads continued and was getting more and more intense. The entire underwater palace was crumbling.

Qin Wuque took off Yuanzi's almost exhausted oxygen cylinder and replaced it with his own.

"Listen carefully. If you want to escape, you must bite this respirator to death. Don't let go even if you faint. Do you understand?" Qin Wuque said seriously.

"What about you, Brother Qin?" Tears welled up in Yuanzi's eyes.

"I don't need it." Qin Wuque was too lazy to explain at this time. "Anyway, you just stay in the captain's room. There are many cracks on the rock wall outside because of the earthquake. A large amount of methane gas has leaked and gathered at the top of the cave. I will detonate the gas later. If all goes well, the entire cave roof should be blown open. Then we can take this ship and float up in one breath."

"So, what if things don't go well?"

"If it doesn't go smoothly." Qin Wuque took a deep breath, "That's not a big problem. I brought you in, and I will definitely take care of getting you out. You just need to close your eyes, grit your teeth, and trust me. Are you ready?"

"Hmm..." Sonoko nodded slightly.

"very good."

Qin Wuque smiled and raised his hand as if he wanted to rub the girl's hair, but he retracted his hand halfway and let it fall naturally on both sides of his body.

Yuanzi seemed a little confused, but due to the critical situation, she didn't have time to think too much.

Qin Wuque turned and walked out of the captain's room. From an angle that the girl couldn't see, fine scales slowly grew on his hands.

……

At the same time, the wind and waves on the sea gradually rose, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

A fishing boat was parked at the location on the sea where Qin Wuque and others had gone into the water earlier. Kogoro Mouri was standing on the deck at the bow, one foot on the railing, holding a telescope in his hand and looking into the water. Next to him was Xiaolan, who had not yet changed out of her diving suit. Inspector Megure and other people from the Metropolitan Police Department were also present.

"Dad, Yuanzi and Mr. Qin have been down there for more than two hours. Even if the oxygen tanks are full...why don't I go down and take a look!" Xiaolan looked anxious.

"Don't worry." Officer Megure said, "From the answers of the two treasure hunters we caught before, there should still be enough oxygen in the underwater palace. As long as they successfully enter the palace, there shouldn't be any major problems for a while."

"That's right." Maori Kogoro said, "With so many adults here, there will be no problem. Lan, you should go and rest first, wipe yourself clean, and then change into clean clothes."

"But..." Xiaolan still felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Ran. Brother Maori and I will take care of it." Officer Megure helped persuade her. "Besides, the sea is too rough right now. Even the divers from the Metropolitan Police Department find it difficult to dive. It's even more impossible for a beginner like you, Ran. Just go and rest first. Trust the adults."

"Inspector! Something bad has happened!"

Someone suddenly rushed out from the cabin of the fishing boat.

It's Takagi.

"What's wrong, Brother Takagi?" Inspector Megure looked back.

"Something big has happened!" Gao Mu said hurriedly, "Just now the monitoring station on the island sent a message saying that an earthquake was detected on the seabed!"

"What!?"

The bad news came suddenly and everyone was shocked. Xiaolan, who was originally preparing to return to the cabin under the persuasion of her father and Inspector Megure, turned pale.

"Gonzi..." she murmured.

Miwako Sato, who was standing next to her, noticed the girl's abnormality in time, and rushed forward to hug Xiaolan tightly to prevent her from breaking free.

Xiaolan struggled hard: "Let me go! Let me go! I want to save Yuanzi! Don't stop me!"

boom!

A pale flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the roar of thunder resounded through the heavens and earth and reached the center of the earth.

The turbulent sea seemed to shake violently at this moment.

As everyone looked on in disbelief, a large lump suddenly "bulged" up on the sea surface not far in front of their bow, like a Kraken rising.

But that wasn't a Kraken, it was... a pirate ship!

The bow of the ship rushed out of the sea first, followed by the hull, and then the stern!

The posture was just like the Flying Dutchman emerging from the sea in Pirates of the Caribbean!

The pirate ship raised its bow and broke through the sea surface, then fell heavily. A huge amount of sea water poured down from the deck of the pirate ship like a waterfall, and fell into the sea like a rainstorm, soaking everyone on the fishing boat.

There was a man posing in a very showy and handsome manner on the bow of the pirate ship.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will always remember this day..."

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

Oh my god, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean a long time ago. I searched through the movie for a long time just to find this classic line from Captain Jack Sparrow.

Chapter 245 She is so cute!

"Hi!"

Qin Wuque leaned against the railing at the bow and waved downwards. The bright smile on his face was in stark contrast to the dark clouds in the sky.

Although it is a fishing boat, it is essentially a civilian fishing boat. At best, it looks more professional, with a cockpit and a lower cabin. At least it does not look as shabby as the little broken boat rowed by Captain Jack at the beginning of the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Compared with the authentic pirate ships that once could fight against the navy on the world's oceans, it really is just a little broken boat.

squeak--

The door of the captain's room was opened from the inside, and Yuanzi staggered out, holding his forehead.

She didn't have Qin Wuque's ability to pose and hold his breath while floating up in the deep sea a hundred meters under the water pressure, so she could only stay in the captain's room obediently, following the latter's instructions and holding the door tightly with her back.

Even so, the moment the pirate ship rushed out of the underwater palace, the sea water pressing in from all directions easily broke through the fragile defense line and poured into the captain's room, turning the entire room into a giant washing machine.

And she is the piece of clothing being washed in the drum washing machine...

"Uh, I... I feel a little dizzy..." Sonoko said, "I can feel the sea breeze. Are we in heaven?"

"No, we just crossed the seabed and arrived at the new world. Let's get ready. We are about to fight Kaido." Qin Wuque said nonsense without even turning his head.

However, when he turned around, he burst out laughing in a very unkind way.

To be honest, Sonoko's image at this moment was really funny. Probably, she was brought in by the sea water that had previously poured into the captain's room. A small strand of seaweed hung on the tip of her nose, and a starfish that came from nowhere was stuck on her head, replacing the headband. Coupled with that confused expression...aha.

"Oh my goodness Patrick, what are you doing?"

Qin Wuque walked over and stretched out his hand to help pick off the seaweed, and then brushed away the starfish lying on the girl's head, teasingly.

But then the expression on his face froze.

The original hairband had disappeared long ago when the seawater poured in. Now it had separated from the starfish. Without its binding force and weighed down by the water, the girl's short brown hair obeyed gravity and fell down all at once, dripping wetly in front of her forehead.

Simple changes create completely different effects.

Qin Wuque was simply stunned.

If the previous Sonoko gave him the impression of a high school girl with a nice personality and pretty looks, it's a pity that her hairstyle was a bit old-fashioned and she was a bit of a gossip, she would be a good friend or brother, but it would be a shame to date her.

Now Sonoko is definitely a rich JK who has perfect scores in every aspect, plus that slightly confused expression...hiss!

Wait, you're telling me this is the same person?

No, it was undoubtedly the same person.

So girl, why are you so obsessed with that headband?

That headband is definitely a beauty blocker!

Seeing Qin Wuque's face full of "Fuck!", Yuanzi blinked cutely and stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, not understanding what he meant.

"Are you okay?"

Oh, she's so cute!

"without……"

Qin Wuque was planning to say that it was okay, but before he could say a word, a crisp sound of wood breaking came from not far away from him.

Click!

This is the sound made by the mast.

A tiny crack appeared on the mast of the pirate ship without warning, and as time went on, the crack expanded at an extremely fast rate, soon spreading to the entire mast and breaking into pieces, and there was a tendency for it to continue to spread to the entire ship.

"Oh, shit, something terrible has happened!" Qin Wuque could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

It's like asking a fat otaku who hasn't exercised properly for three to five years to suddenly run a five-kilometer cross-country run without any rehabilitation training. He can probably finish the run, after all, human potential is huge. If there is a leopard chasing him, he can probably get a good result. But by the time he finishes the run, he will probably be sent to the ICU. If he is unlucky, he will have to see a black man.

The same goes for this pirate ship. After three hundred years of wasted time in the dry underwater palace, the moisture in the hull's wooden boards had long since been lost, and the material was extremely hard and brittle. It had suddenly experienced operations that even modern aircraft carriers dared not imagine. It would be strange if it didn't crack.

"Dive in! Quick!"

Seeing that the pirate ship was about to fall apart, the people on the fishing boat below didn't even bother to be surprised and shouted loudly.

Qin Wuque was quick-witted and quick-handed. He picked up Yuanzi, who was still in a panic. After turning back to confirm the direction, he controlled the strength and threw him into the water nearest to the fishing boat.

But he was a step too late, and fell into the sea with the shattered pieces of the pirate ship with a splash.

After being thrown into the sea, Sonoko was quickly rescued to the deck by the Metropolitan Police Department personnel on the fishing boat. Xiaolan, who had been worried for a long time, rushed up and hugged her tightly, but Sonoko turned around and looked at the pirate ship sinking little by little on the sea behind her and shouted.

"Brother Qin didn't come up! He fell down! He doesn't have an oxygen tank! Save him! Save him!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure immediately turned his head and winked at Takagi beside him.

Takagi nodded in understanding, turned around, waved his arms, and trotted away towards the stern of the ship.

On the other side of the fishing boat, Metropolitan Police Department personnel had already put on diving suits and were ready to go into the water at any time.

Officer Megure said to Suzuki Sonoko in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, we will arrange for divers from the Metropolitan Police Department to go into the water to rescue the person. The target falling point is not far from the fishing boat, so they should be able to be rescued soon!"

"No~no~"

A voice suddenly came from below the deck of the fishing boat.

Xiaolan and Sonoko looked down in surprise, and the next second, a hand snapped and rested on the edge of the deck, followed by a familiar face floating up with the sound of water.

Qin Wuque pulled himself out of the sea with one hand.

"Brother Qin, so you're okay!" Yuanzi said in surprise.

"Oh, you're young~"

Qin Wuque pretended to smile contemptuously, and with one hand he held the fence and stepped onto the deck step by step along the hull. His whole body was hanging diagonally on the outside of the fence, while his other hand was still hanging down, and he seemed to be holding a black object in his hand.

"I was able to bring you up from the bottom of the sea, so how could you possibly drown on the surface?" The bastard said with a smug look on his face.

"That's right, then why did you just now..." Sonoko was stunned.

"Well, it took a little effort to get something."

Qin Wuque turned his head to look at the black thing in his other hand, most of which was still immersed in the sea water and floating. Suddenly, he raised his arm and lifted it up with force!

Just like a towel being pulled out of the water, the pitch-black thing suddenly spread out under the action of inertia, and the skull flag fluttered in the wind and rain.

That's a pirate flag!

Amber and Marie-Reed's Jolly Roger!

"They say thieves never leave... No, I mean when I travel, I always have to bring some local specialties and souvenirs back."

Qin Wuque changed his words in time and downplayed it.

"Look, now we have both local specialties and souvenirs, right?"

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

The second update is loading~~~

Chapter 246 It's Changing It's Changing

Half an hour later, at the B&B on Shenhai Island.

In the room, Huibara Ai had an expressionless face and her arms folded across her chest. She looked at someone holding a hair dryer and blowing cold air around the pirate flag on the ground that was almost half the size of the room, and sighed helplessly.

"So you stole someone's weapons and went to the bottom of the sea, just to get a pirate flag?"

"Sodayo~"

Qin Wuque said without even turning his head.

"And Shirley, I have to correct you. I didn't steal the sword and the gun. I just happened to find them from the two treasure hunters. To be precise, I didn't find them. Miss Suzuki found them."

"Oh, does it make a difference? In the end, all the things in the museum end up in your hands." The girl narrowed her eyes.

"Of course there is a difference." Qin Wuque stopped his work and turned around to say seriously, "If it was those two treasure hunters who went into the sea with swords and guns to search for treasure, then they would have taken the swords and guns and ran away after discovering that there was no treasure they wanted in the underwater palace. Anyway, it is considered an antique and can still be sold for a few dollars. But I chose to return the things to you honestly."
