Well, in addition to "Admiral of Blood" Senior who was confirmed to be dead and the fleet was torn apart, and "Hell Admiral" Ludwell whose flagship "Black Tulip" was half blown up by me and has not yet recovered, the other five Pirate Admiral have already arrived.
"Where are the other Pirate King? Even the organizer of Pirate Conference, 'King of the Five Seas' Nast, didn't show up. Did we come a little early?"
After waiting for a moment and seeing that no new ships appeared, Angel turned sideways and asked.
"Including Pirate Admiral, most of the pirates participating in the event will gather at the pier in front. This is not only a carnival feast, but also a short period for all Pirate Admiral to communicate peacefully. As for the kings of the sea, it is said that there is another separate meeting place, but Tracy didn't tell me, maybe she doesn't know this either..."
Helene answered honestly, her eyes constantly searching the sea, trying to find the location she said.
Just when Angel also joined the search team, and the pirate flagships such as "Future" and "Golden Dream" lowered their traffic ships and approached the coast, a majestic aura suddenly came from the towering extinct volcano in the center of the island., it contained a powerful force of oppression, which instantly silenced the noisy dock. A pirate named Low Sequence or an ordinary person did not know where this frightening aura came from, but their inner instinct made them stop making noise and noise, and looked around with their necks curled up.
Wearing a black robe and with calm purple eyes, "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya looked thoughtfully towards the back of the island; "Iceberg Admiral" Edwina, who was standing on the deck of the transport ship with a command knife on his arm, frowned and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife; "Vice Admiral Dusk", who was tall and his face was hidden in the shadow of a low-hanging three-cornered hat, snorted coldly, his voice was suppressed and low; his face seemed to be covered with an octopus, with smooth tentacles hanging around. "Vice Admiral Deep Sea", whose whole body was wrapped in a cloak, looked a little restless, and the tentacles were knotted and twisted together.
Even "Vice Admiral of Ailment", who avoided everyone and wandered on the edge of the Pirate Conference field, stuck his head out of the porthole and looked at the extinct volcano that contained strong pressure.
This breath seems to declare its own existence, and at the same time announces the official start of this year's Pirate Conference.
"That's a message to invite us. It seems that the meeting place of the sea kings is behind the island."
Angel, who also felt a little pressure, looked thoughtfully at Anne, who seemed unaware, and said.
"It should be there, I can sense that she is there too."
Anne replied slowly. Without seeing any movement from her, the sails above their heads turned at a larger angle. Following the sea breeze and waves lingering near the coast, they bypassed other ships and headed towards the back of the island.
The majestic aura quickly dissipated, allowing the suspicious pirates to return to normal. They seemed to understand through mutual communication and guessing that it was the power of "King of the Five Seas". After admiration, they felt relieved and moved barrels of ale to the dock. They found familiar or unfamiliar friends and started this year's event amidst singing, laughter, and cheers.
The pirate captains gathered in twos and threes, exchanging known information with each other, looking for opportunities to make a fortune, or discussing the Pirate Admirals who entered a small dark building one after another, cursing the absent "Hell Admiral" and lamenting the fate of "Admiral of Blood".
They subconsciously do not think about what is happening behind the island. It is not a level that they can participate in or even discuss.
With Ghost Ship's speed far exceeding that of any ship in this era, "Queen Anne's Revenge" circumvented the not-so-long coastline and arrived at the other side of the island in just a few minutes.
Compared to the side where most pirate ships dock, there are only steep cliffs, dense reefs and a fjord hidden in thick fog, which is not suitable for ships to dock. In the fog, there are vague outlines of three giant sailing ships. As Angel gradually gets closer, it becomes more and more clear.
The one that was closest and the first to show its complete shape was a black ship that was nearly two hundred meters long, with its decks raised high at the front and back, like a crescent moon lying on the sea. It had only one mast, and the half-rolled sail on it depicted a black tombstone.
That is the flagship of "King of Immortality" Agalito, "Death Announcer", Angel once followed "Future" to God War Ruins and encountered a It was severely damaged, but two months later, the traces left by the battle on its surface had been completely repaired. At this time, hundreds of Sailor were scattered on the main deck in the center of the "Crescent Moon" and on the shelling deck below. You could vaguely see the angry and fearful expressions on the faces of the pirates on the opposite side.
By the way, the one who chased "Death Announcer" around last time was "Queen Anne's Revenge" under my feet. This is a meeting of enemies... Angel looked at Anne wordlessly, who smiled indifferently and said:
"It only has Sequence 3."
Does this tell me that I don't need to worry about the other party launching an attack? No, wait...
"It?" Angel repeated with a frown, realizing something, "You mean this ship 'Death Announcer'?"
"Yes, the real 'King of Immortality' is actually that ship. It is the 'Blatherer' of Sequence 3, and the captain Agalito is just its slave. Without 'Death Announcer', it is not even Demigod."
After hearing this astonishing secret, Angel turned his attention to the huge black ship in the distance. He had a preconceived idea. After careful observation, he found that the pirates only verbally cursed, but did not launch artillery. It was just a behavior of using words but not using hands.
As for Agalito, who should appear on the deck now to command his men, he didn't even see his shadow.
According to legend, "King of Immortality" has almost never had any conflicts with any Demigod, and has maintained a good relationship with powerful pirate admirals. His bounty is even the lowest among Four Kings, which fully shows that he is cautious or sincere.
Combined with the experience of being attacked by a powerful whisper as soon as I had the idea of attacking him or that ship during our last encounter, maybe "Blatherer" is the Sequence 3 of "Abyss" Pathway, so it has the Malice Perception of "Devil"? This allows it to avoid most battles that are unfavorable to it. Only Beyonder, um, extraordinary ships like Anne that reach the Angel level can pose a threat to it...
While thinking, "Queen Anne's Revenge" passed the vicinity of "Death Announcer" at a constant speed and headed towards the depths of the fog. From the beginning to the end, the King of Immortality flagship made no other movements, as if the enemy in front of it was not the enemy that injured it last time.
Near the bottom of the extinct volcano and near the entrance of the fjord on the coast, Angel discovered two more ships staying on the shore.
One of them is nearly 100 meters long and has the appearance of a typical three-masted sail, including a huge forward ram and three shelling decks. The black and white color scheme is dotted with dazzling gold foil, and the decorative iron chains extend in all directions, reminding Angel of Trier and those coveted Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun.
The ancient Intis style is both practical and exaggerated. If nothing else, it should be the car of "Queen Mystic" Bernadette, "Dawn"...
Angel was thinking, and secretly glanced at Anne, and sure enough, he found that the girl's eyes were locked on the ship, and she didn't move away for a long time.
"I heard that the 'Dawn' is not the Ghost Ship that can drive automatically, but it has a small crew and usually travels alone at sea. Could it be that it can be driven by 'Queen Mystic' alone?"
Helene beside him murmured to himself, lying on the side of the ship, looking at the gorgeous "Dawn" with burning eyes.
On the other side of the fjord entrance, there is a dark warship parked. It is ancient in shape and has only one full deck. More than a hundred Sailor are cleaning the deck or stopping to look at this side. Cannons are neatly placed on the sides of the ship. Three black sails hang high, but they remain stable at the mouth of the fjord where the wind is swirling.
Near the back cabin, there stood a stone throne more than two meters high, with an empty space above it.
Without being reminded by Anne or Helene, Angel knows that it is the last one among Four Kings, "King of the Five Seas The flagship of "Nast is said to be the Ghost Ship and "The Black Emperor" that Fourth Epoch Solomon Empire has left to this day.
I wonder if it has turned into a human form and can communicate normally... Angel was thinking, the patter of footsteps was heard in his ears, and the barefoot Anne also came to the side of the ship. His golden eyes looked at the black ancient Ghost Ship, and there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
She also knows this Fourth Epoch and Ghost Ship? Two people, no, two ships had fought side by side, or were they in different camps, meeting each other in the center of the battlefield?
Various thoughts came to mind, Angel shook his head and asked:
"Including us, 'Five Kings' are all here. Is the meeting location in this sea area, or deep in the fjord?"
Hearing this, Anne withdrew his gaze, looked at her, and replied:
"There is another ship that you have ignored," she said, raising her right hand, stretching her slender fingers forward, pointing to the location she just passed, "'King of the Black Throne' Baros Hopkins, and... his temporary flagship, 'Black Throne'."
Speaking of this name, the faint smile on Anne's face completely disappeared.
At the end of her finger, a sailboat slightly smaller than "The Black Emperor", with a simple shape but extremely majestic, loomed in the fog. Three vertical masts pulled a huge white sail. The huge sprit on the bow was like a giant cannon pointing forward. The rope above was tight and motionless in the wind.
When I passed by there just now, I didn't even notice that there was such a giant ship next to it... Angel stared blankly for a few seconds, then looked at Helene, and found that she was also looking at "Black Throne" in shock.
At this moment, she recalled Arrodes's reminder, as well as the information she had seen several times in the church's internal documents.
But before Anne reminded him, Angel had no memory of this "King of the Black Throne" at all, as if he was isolated and blocked by some kind of force.
Be careful "Spectator"... She sighed again.
