We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 25 Target: Coral City!
"Captain!"

On the deck, Joey, who had changed his clothes, excitedly greeted Shane.

An nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Looking at the two men whose appearance was so different from that of ordinary sailors, Xia En knew that they were his original crew.

Although there were only two of them, it was much better than when they first arrived alone.

Shaen asked, "Have you finished dealing with everything on the island?"

Joey nodded: "It's all taken care of."

An skillfully took out paper and pen and wrote: "I am always ready to be at your command."

"Alright, then, let's prepare to set sail!"

Xia En walked to the helm and grasped the sturdy, ancient rudder: "Raise the sails, set sail!"

"Target... Coral City!"

woo-

To An's astonishment, the unmanned steam turbine started up on its own, the cables and sails worked in perfect harmony, and the anchor was pulled up from the depths of the sea.

Powered by a hybrid of sails and steam turbines, the Black Swan set sail towards the vast blue sea.

"How's it going? It's amazing, isn't it?"

Joey spoke to Ann in a senior's tone, "I was quite surprised when I first saw it too!"

It was truly breathtaking.

Ann's writing is as honest as he is.

[I never imagined the captain possessed such abilities; no wonder he was able to take Blood Wolf Hansen's head.]

[He truly is the man I will serve for life.]

"lifetime?"

Joey's expression was a little strange.

Has this armored knight only known the captain for a few days?

Why must one be loyal for life?

Ann didn't care about Joey's opinion, but silently watched Xia En, her gaze under the armor calm and deep.

Anne was a loyal but not foolish knight.

His eyesight far surpassed Joey's, which is why he keenly noticed Shane's change.

In just one morning, Xia En's aura had become much stronger than before, giving him an invisible sense of oppression.

Although Ann didn't know why Xia En had improved so rapidly, it undoubtedly demonstrated his great potential.

And right now, this strange ability to control ships...

This further strengthened Ann's resolve to serve Xiaen for the rest of her life.

For those who follow the Knight's Path, the stronger the object of their loyalty, the stronger the buffs they receive.

……

……

On the island, inside the luxurious and spacious ducal mansion.

dong dong!

The old butler carefully knocked on an extremely tall solid wood door.

A moment later, a languid female voice came from inside the door.

"come in."

Inside the room, a large bed draped in pale purple gauze took up most of the space.

The mingled smells of perfume, blood, and post-coital body odor, when mixed together, fill the nasal cavity and are enough to make one frown.

On the ground lay a long whip stained with blood, several nearly burned-out red candles, and various strange "toys."

But the old butler just stared intently at his toes, his face tense, afraid of showing any unusual expression.

"Oh, it's Sage. What's up?"

From inside the curtained room, a woman's question could be heard, and the man's painful panting could also be faintly heard.

The old butler pretended not to hear the strange noise and reported, "Your Grace, Blood Wolf Hansen has been killed."

"Oh?"

Duke Nova's tone was calm: "Little Hansen is dead? What a pity. I quite liked the little gift he gave me."

Although she said "it's a pity," she was actually unmoved.

There are plenty of pirates like her whose names begin with "blood," and Blood Wolf Hansen is no exception. Indeed, the true owner of the Blood Wolf is none other than Duke Nova, the governor of Duke Island!
In fact, this is an unwritten rule in the waters near Duke Island.

Duke Nova had connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. Apart from the legitimate Blood Duke, many pirate ships were also her property.

These pirates handed over some of their loot to her in exchange for the Blood Duke not annihilating them.

Pirate ships that make a name for themselves, such as the "Blood Wolf," will receive some support.

It can be considered an alternative form of protection fee and a win-win model.

At this moment, Duke Nova asked calmly, "Was it the Seven Seas Federation fleet that did it?"

"No, it was a captain on the island who did it."

"Ok?"

Duke Nova was somewhat surprised.

Although Hansen was not a secret guide, his reputation preceded him, and there weren't many captains on Duke Island who dared to attack him.

Which ship was it?

The old butler's eyes flickered, and he spoke in a seemingly indifferent tone.

"It's the Black Swan, and the captain is a young man named Shane."

"Black Swan? Never heard of it."

Duke Nova yawned, but then her tone changed slightly: "Sage, do you have a grudge against this captain?"

Upon hearing this, the old butler broke out in a cold sweat, his face turning deathly pale.

He immediately knelt down and hurriedly said, "Your Grace, he and I have a small disagreement."

"But I'm only reporting this to you because he offended your authority! I have absolutely no other motives, really!"

“Sage…”

Duke Nova sighed, "You've been working for me for almost three years, don't you know... the only reason I keep you around is because you're obedient enough."

"no, do not want……"

The old steward trembled violently, his face deathly pale, as if he foresaw his own end, and pleaded.

"My lord! Give me another chance!"

"Please! Please..."

laugh!
Before the old butler could finish speaking, his body melted into a pool of dark red flesh, just like a candle.

The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to scream.

As if casually crushing a mosquito, Duke Nova said lazily, "Bruno."

"exist!"

Outside the door, a handsome man much younger than the old butler walked in, dressed in a butler's uniform.

"The information you provided is very accurate. Sage did indeed want to use his power for personal gain and have me deal with his enemies."

"From now on, you will take his place."

Bruno's face was full of joy, and he nodded emphatically.

"Yes!"

He knew that what Duke Nova hated most was not the butler's incompetence, but that the butler had his own selfish motives.

Especially using her in this way is a major taboo for Duke Nova.

Bruno knew about the feud between Shane and the old butler, and made plans in advance, thus seizing this opportunity to rise to power.

However, seeing the old butler's gruesome death, Bruno couldn't help but feel a chill.

He asked cautiously, "Your Grace, what should be done with Captain Shane?"

"A small captain like that is fine no matter what."

Duke Nova said nonchalantly, "Just tell the other pirates that the Black Swan has my crimson emblem. If they want it, they can take it."

"Compared to such trivial matters..."

Duke Nova's breathing became heavier, with a wetness like waves.

"Bruno, come in quickly, I want to give you a little reward."

Bruno paused for a second to mourn the unfamiliar captain, then stepped into the purple curtain with mixed feelings.

He knew that the real test had only just begun.

The flower language of steel wool is forbearance and wealth!
