"This is a Extinct Volcano Island northwest of Toscarter Island, close to Gargas Archipelago."

Helene, who has been at sea for several years and knows most of Nameless Island, explained on the side.

Angel faced the suddenly strong sea wind and squinted his eyes towards the island.

The location where "Queen Anne's Revenge" appeared was less than two nautical miles away from the island. Even in the sea covered with dark clouds and fog, High Sequence Beyonder could easily see the coastline.

In a natural depression there, beside a not-so-large pier, many ships of different sizes and ages have docked, including Three-Masted Sailing Ship with its sails stowed, hybrid ships with both sails and chimneys, and fast battleships with a lot of armor on the outside, disguised as ironclads, which left Angel stunned.

It was simply a ship museum. Some of the ships floated on the water without sinking. It was very mysterious... She cursed and panned her eyes, discovering that more ships did not dock, but gathered offshore. They were in groups of three or two, or were alone away from other ships, obviously not wanting to mix with the "miscellaneous army".

She saw "Golden Dream" with a golden cannon and gold coins such as Gold Pound, Gold Horn, Verl D'Or and so on, which was like an iceberg and refused the approach of other ships; she saw two ships The fleet of "Vice Admiral Dusk" was guarded by fast battleships with slender hulls, which were closely approaching each other like a formation; they saw the highly recognizable flagship "Future" of "Admiral of Stars" with only one frigate, shrouded in mysterious starlight.

Most of them are acquaintances and have met them at least once, and they all brought them with them to the fleet...

Angel's expression was a little stiff, and he subconsciously looked at the empty deck where he was, feeling once again lagging behind in terms of momentum.

"According to the requirements of 'King of the Five Seas', Pirate King only allow the flagship to arrive, and the general can bring up to two frigates. This is because we are worried that someone will bring the entire fleet and pose a threat to other participants."

Helene explained in a low voice next to her.

"No wonder 'Vice Admiral Dusk' only brought two ships. He has an entire militarized fleet, and allowing him to bring a small number of ships can also compete with 'Iceberg Admiral', which only has one flagship..." Angel nodded and suddenly asked, "How do you know so clearly? Did Tracy tell you?"

"She... I just participated in the last Pirate Conference and heard some rumors!"

Helene turned his head and answered in an unnatural tone.

Even if it is... Angel smiled and stopped asking the question. He continued to look for other ships on the sea.

As Anne controlled the crewless Ghost Ship to quickly approach the island, the Pirate Admiral waiting offshore and the pirate ship docked at the dock spotted this behemoth in the mist on the sea surface, and the commotion quickly spread to every corner.

The fleet of "Vice Admiral Dusk" cautiously retreated for a certain distance, but the gun doors on both sides of the ship were not opened to show that they would not take the initiative to provoke a fight. The two generals belonging to "Future" and "Golden Dream" and Angel He had been in contact with her before and was familiar with her. He did not retreat with Bratov. Angel soon saw Cattleya in black robes and Edwina in black robes and Beige Coat with a command knife on his waist on the decks of the two ships.

As for the other unnamed pirates, they were either frightened or excited, and they were all confined to the dock. No ship dared to leave the large group and approach the mysterious Ghost Ship.

After the offshore ships changed their positions, another black ship appeared in the fog, Three-Masted Sailing Ship with Skull Flag hanging on the mast. It seemed that it originally wanted to approach the dock, but was a little panicked by the sudden appearance of "Queen Anne's Revenge". It filled the rudder, the sails were bulging, and quickly sailed to the other side.

"It's the flag of Tracy... She did come to participate in Pirate Conference, but she changed her flagship and came alone, without bringing a fleet.

"Tell me, is she here to find you?"

Angel said with great interest, looking at Helene beside him whose expression changed several times, and finally felt lost.

With a chuckle, she forcefully pulled the somewhat timid shoulders of the red-haired Hunter and came to the side of the ship, letting her flamboyant red hair flutter in the sea breeze, like the bright red on an oil painting with a black hull as the bottom and a gray sky as the cover.

In an instant, Angel felt a line of sight falling on him.

That was the cerulean eyes that could be vaguely seen behind a port window of the new "Black Death" driving sideways, staring at this side.

Ha——

Angel showed a provocative smile, tightened his right hand, and hugged Helene, who was unable to react in time.

At that moment, she was even ready to "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy to jump over the wall and crash into it with her flagship.

But in the end, those blue eyes, like those of most members of "Witch Family", just closed in despair and disappeared into the shadows behind the portholes.

A whole circle smaller than the "Black Death" that was destroyed by Angel, the sailboat just passed quietly in front of the "Queen Anne's Revenge". The pirates above looked nervously at this side. No one had the courage to take the lead in provoking a fight.

She is quite calm. If she attacks me first, even "King of the Five Seas" will have no reason to keep her. However, I feel that the "desperation" Potion has digested a lot. Is it because the actions just now made Tracy fall into real despair, or is it because she has almost completed the role of "Affliction" and is already qualified to attack Demigod?

Angel was thinking, and suddenly remembered that he was still holding Helene. He hurriedly left the side of the ship, entered the blind spot of the outside world, and let go of his arm that was soaked by the other person's body temperature and was a little hot.

"You, you..." The red-haired girl Hunter's face had already matched the color of her hair, and she was stuttering when she spoke, "Oh...Tracy will definitely misunderstand."

"What's the misunderstanding? Me and you? Didn't you want to take revenge on her before and contact the navy to arrest her? Isn't it a kind of revenge to make her misunderstand?"

Angel asked pretending to be curious.

"I want to... revenge her, but not in this way, at this time..."

Helene murmured, his expression becoming more and more rosy, not knowing what kind of revenge he was thinking of.

She wouldn't wait to become "Iron-Blooded Knight" and take revenge in another identity and way...Angel suddenly thought of a possibility, quietly took two steps back, felt the sight of Anne in the middle of the deck, and turned around to look.

The "girl" who Fourth Epoch has lived to this day is looking at the two of them with a strange look, especially Angel.

The latter seemed to see a word in Anne's golden eyes:

"Childish."

Being commented like this by an older girl who was over two thousand years old, Angel looked away guiltily and returned to the sea where the noise gradually subsided.

Under the sea, a black shadow was moving quickly, quickly passing in front of Ghost Ship and arriving near the island.

It gradually grew larger and darker, like a behemoth approaching the surface from the deep.

Wow——

Amidst the loud noise, a strange-looking ship floated to the surface. The metal surface, which was iron-black and kept sliding down the seawater, formed a slightly raised oval shape above. There was a metal pipe in the center pointing to the sky, but it was bent at a right angle near the end and stretched forward.

Isn't this a submarine?

Angel immediately forgot what happened just now and stared at the newly appeared "battleship".

Angel The reason for being so surprised is simple. In her previous life, she had seen a vehicle that looked like this and could dive into water.

It is a deadly weapon powered by nuclear energy, hidden below the water surface, and capable of delivering a fatal blow to the ship at any time.

Although the oval-shaped steel monster in front of you is more rudimentary, and traces of the steel plates can be seen on the surface, including rust and wear, and its shape is not completely streamlined and elegant, its technical level is still far superior to those of sail battleships or steamships in the distance, as if it is not a product of the same era as them.

While Angel was studying the "submarine" in front of him with some shock, the metal pipe at the top of the steel monster slowly retracted into the interior of the hull. Then, at about one-third of the height, the upper half of the elliptical hull cracked several regular gaps. The thick steel plates spread out around, revealing the flat inner deck, pointing at the surrounding artillery. Sailor, who controlled them, even raised the mast.

Swish——

Several sails were unfolded, and the metal machine that was far ahead of its time at the moment suddenly turned into a sail warship. Under the control of the helmsman, it sailed towards the port along with the sea breeze.

Seeing the giant steel ship that instantly regressed from the futuristic style to the pre-steam era, Angel felt that his eyes became dull.

"This is the flagship of 'Vice Admiral Deep Sea' Hall Constantine. The 'Newins', which has the same name as the maritime legend 'Lost Newins', is said to be able to sneak hundreds of nautical miles underwater, suddenly appear from the target and launch attacks, catching people by surprise, and then leaving in the same way, making it difficult for the navy to capture it."

The red-haired Helene calmed down the restless mood just now, came to the side of the ship, and whispered, as if he was worried that Pirate Admiral on the "Newins" who was not far away would hear it.

No wonder he is called "Vice Admiral Deep Sea". It seems that there is no wrong nickname... and this stealth ship is too similar to the submarine in the previous life. Could it be the legacy of Emperor Roselle, which was eventually created by Artisan of Church of the God of Steam and Machinery The realization of fell into the hands of this Pirate Admiral, or he was simply the collaborator of Church of Steam, just like the cooperation between Iceberg Admiral and Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom...

Of course, compared with the target imitated by Roselle, the "Newins", which needs wind power to sail on the sea, is still far behind.

Angel thought about it, watching the "Newins" leave, meeting up with other Pirate Admiral outside the pier, and not approaching the somewhat chaotic coast.
