Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

The mermaid girl's scream was deafening, echoing through the sky, as if even the sky was about to be torn apart.

Jerry, who was originally leisurely studying the shells, suddenly shuddered with fright.

"What a misunderstanding!"

At this moment, he first wanted to explain it on the spot, but then he felt that the more he explained, the worse it would be.

With a reaction speed faster than the speed of light, he put down the box, put away the fishing rod, and Jerry disappeared in an instant like a phantom.

The series of actions happened so fast that the mermaid girl couldn't help but wonder if it was her illusion.

But when she heard the sound gradually fade away and looked at the scattered objects, she stopped thinking about it and continued to scream.

The deafening shout called over many of her sisters and some kingdom soldiers who were patrolling nearby.

After questioning, the soldiers immediately dispersed and searched for clues nearby and in the town.

Because it was dark, Jerry reacted extremely quickly after being frightened. The mermaid girl could not see his face clearly. She only knew that the suspect was holding a fishing rod while committing the crime.

At this moment, Jerry was running wildly on the street, cursing the system in his heart for being unethical and actually launching a sneak attack.

If it weren't for the right time and place, and if it weren't for his disappearance from the spot at the first opportunity, wouldn't his lifelong reputation have been ruined?

On the way, he covered his body with water light and tried his best to use optical principles to create a dynamic invisibility effect around him. This way, at least he could deceive the eyes of ordinary people.

In addition, it was still dark, so his figure flashed by and disappeared into the shadows of the street.

Soon, he returned to the ship without anyone noticing.

"Huh... I finally made it to base safely."

After heaving a sigh of relief, Jerry sneaked into his room. Thinking back to the process that almost ended in his death, he felt that he should not have exposed his identity.

After criticizing the crappy system for a few minutes, he gritted his teeth and cursed as he opened the treasure chest he got for completing the mission.

【Ding! 】

[Reward: Wall-breaking Bead. ]

"Hmm? Wall-breaking beads? I've never heard of them. What's this new thing?"

After whispering, he continued to glance at the items and introduced them.

【Break the wall bead: break through the barrier.】

"Such a simple explanation? But the specific purpose and usage are not explained yet."

"Isn't it similar to a wall-breaking machine?"

"Crappy system! It's really just to trick me."

Indignant about the mission reward that almost cost him his reputation in later life, Jerry lay down and took a rest.

In the early morning, everyone woke up one after another, and Jerry pretended nothing had happened and walked onto the deck.

Skarr and others had gathered together, chatting animatedly about something.

"Hah, good morning!"

Jerry yawned and waved hello as usual.

But the two women and three men over there turned their heads at the same time and looked at him with strange expressions.

Kodaz ran up to him and called out.

"Meow~"

"What? What are you looking at me with?"

His heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the outside and tilted his head to ask.

After looking around, Deuce thought it would be better to just make it clear.

"Ahem! Jerry, what happened in Mermaid Bay last night, you..."

"Why do you say half and half, Deus? You should tell the whole story. What happened over there?"

Jerry, who has great acting skills, will never easily admit something that may lead to his social demise.

"Uh, well, here's the thing, last night..."

Then Deuce narrated what they had heard, especially what they had heard from Skarr.

Specifically, in the early hours of the morning, a mermaid girl who happened to have something to do and got up early accidentally found a small box she had placed by the window. It was there one second ago, and disappeared inexplicably the next moment.

At some point, the window was opened, and in her confusion she didn't remember whether she was the one who opened the window, causing the box to fall out of the window.

Then she walked outside, only to find that her small box filled with shell underwear was rising rapidly in the sea and was about to disappear.

She made a prompt decision and quickly jumped into the water, chasing after him.

Finally, she spotted a dark figure on the water, turning over the pile of shells one by one after fishing up her box with a fishing rod.

Shocked by this disgusting scene, she screamed.

The moment the wretched thief heard the scream, he was so scared that he dropped her things, said something, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As a result, she was in a hurry and could not see the thief's face clearly. In addition, her screams were too loud and she could not hear what the other party said. Apart from knowing that the weapon was a fishing rod, there were no other clues at the scene.

After elimination, the final statement that came out was that the black shadow was most likely a human.

After all, currently on the Fishman Island, apart from the native races and citizens, the largest group of people are humans.

Fishing rods are a common tool used by humans, and humans have a lot of criminal records on the island, so their reputation has long been ruined.

After listening to Zeus's narration, Jerry secretly felt relieved. Since there was no direct evidence, it would be easy to explain.

He straightened his expression, became extremely calm, and decided to take the initiative.

"So? You're not doubting me, are you?"

"Am I a hot person? Just based on the so-called fishing rod in the rumors?"

"Ahahaha... Of course not, I just think it would be better if we just talk about it."

They thought they knew exactly what kind of person Jerry was, and Deuce and the others no longer had any doubts.

But not having doubts does not mean that this matter can be easily let go, and people will still make fun of things that need to be made fun of.

"Uh hehe, who knows, but I believe that the scheming frog has been touching your belly."

"Admit it! It must be you who did it!"

The emancipated serfs are singing, and Kalina has finally seized the opportunity, and she doesn't want to let it go easily.

"Yeah? Do you want to touch the rabbit? Sister Kalina."

"Touch your head, I'm talking about him."

"Hey, hey, then you touch my head, it feels so comfortable."

Hearing Karina say that she wanted to touch the rabbit's head, Carrot hugged her and put his head in front of her.

Kalina held her forehead helplessly, there was nothing she could do as her aura was interrupted by the innocent little rabbit in front of her.

In his heart, he gave Gallot a thumbs up, thinking about getting more carrots to reward her next time. Jerry turned to Kalina and said,

"Haha, you scheming frog, do you think you are Conan?"

"I'm not Conan, but you are a wretched man!"

"Also, who is Conan?"

Kalina will not give up easily. Even if there is no evidence, she will write it down in a small notebook in case of emergency.

However, Jerry never admits defeat when it comes to verbal attacks.

"Oh, so superficial! I am one of the ten most upright young men of the year in the East Sea!"

"Donghai? You, a wretched man, are actually from Donghai?"

Hearing the place name full of past events, Karina was slightly startled, and couldn't help but recall that time...

Before she could immerse herself in the past, Jerry's signature twist of his mouth interrupted her thoughts.

"Why? Want to build connections?"

"Poop your shit!"

Without saying a word, the two continued to quarrel.
