"The fact that a seemingly ordinary Sea God Statue can have real and powerful effects shows that this copy world is likely to have very high-end powers, such as gods."
After communicating with the strong man Crocodile Man, Wang Zhifan quickly understood that the world was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, which meant that he had to take this aspect into consideration in his subsequent actions and not provoke enemies he could not provoke due to his carelessness.
At the same time, this magical Sea God Statue also strengthened his determination to control this ship, because the existence of this good thing ensured that he would not have to worry about ordinary wind and waves when taking this ship to the Storm Sea to find the island, and the efficiency could be much higher than other sea ships.
Immediately, he left the cabin of the pirate ship and returned to the captain's cabin on the upper deck. He planned to stay here in person most of the time to prevent the pirates from having any bad intentions. At the same time, it was also convenient for him to call Crocodile Man the giant man and the one-eyed old man at any time to do ideological work.
Especially the one-eyed old man, who said that people become better as they age. Wang Zhifan felt that his verbal offensive might not have much effect on him. He planned to use intimidation to see if he could get this old guy who claimed to have searched for Forbidden Fruit Island to use him.
In this way, the relatively smooth sailing time passed day by day.
In the past few days, Wang Zhifan has stayed on the pirate ship to suppress the overall situation. The pirate ship was mainly controlled by sailors assigned by Sea Parrot. Key positions were not left to the pirates to prevent them from causing trouble, so that the pirate ship could always follow Sea Parrot and head to Princess Port at a constant speed.
At the same time, during this period, Wang Zhifan also asked the pirates to put away the Great Horned Shark pirate flag, carefully cleaned the deck, and washed away every blood stain with sea water. Then, according to the suggestions of Captain Sea Parrot, he made some other arrangements so that the pirate ship could disguise itself as another identity.
So three days later, Big Horn Shark Pirate Ship and Sea Parrot passenger ships arrived at the destination Princess Port.
As soon as their two ships approached here, they found a quite tall white warship parked at the port. Then the white warship quickly launched several small boats into the sea. People in white clothes took the small boats and headed straight towards the ships entering the port.
"Your Excellency, the people in those small boats are the Imperial Navy inspectors. They have considerable power and are responsible for confirming whether each sea-going ship has the qualifications to enter the port and whether it has committed smuggling crimes. Please be sure not to offend them later."
At this time, on the camouflaged Big Horn Shark Pirate Ship, not only was Wang Zhifan himself standing on the deck looking down at the sea, but the captain of Sea Parrot was also standing next to him. It was obvious that this man attached great importance to his promise to Wang Zhifan. In order to cope with the navy's supervision, he did not stay on his ship and came to help in person.
"Okay, I'll trouble you later, captain, and we'll proceed as planned."
Wang Zhifan nodded slightly after hearing this. As a Outsiders, he didn't know much about this aspect. He planned to rely on the captain of Sea Parrot as much as possible to deal with it. If anything went wrong along the way, he would come up with specific solutions.
In this way, a few minutes later, as several steel hooks were hung on the side of the pirate ship, two naval inspectors in white clothes climbed onto the deck of the ship along the rope.
The two people who came up looked like they were white men in their twenties, very young, but they both had stern faces, and their nostrils turned up in the air wrote "I am the biggest" on their faces.
"Who is the captain of this ship! Come out quickly! Submit the departure point, sailing route, passenger list, and cargo list!"
After the two supervisors stepped onto the deck, one of them shouted an order without even looking at the crew waiting here.
"Inspector! I am the captain! Everything you want is here! Please check it out!"
Captain Sea Parrot, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted them with a smile. As someone who often runs the Princess Port route, he knew the supervision rules here very well, so he had already prepared or forged what these people wanted.
After the captain handed the prepared materials to the white inspector who spoke, the man began to read with a straight face. The other man had already started walking around on the deck of the ship resolutely, scanning all the people and cargo, and flipping through the cargo boxes from time to time, but no one dared to have any dissatisfaction with his actions.
About half a minute later, the inspector in charge of reading the materials suddenly frowned, cast a suspicious look at the captain in front of him, and then said, "Your Sea Parrot has only registered one passenger ship in our port, which is the smaller ship next to it, but now you suddenly report that you have an additional ship, and it is still a large ship. Is this reasonable? How do you explain it?"
When the inspector in front of him raised a question, the captain of Sea Parrot immediately used the prepared words.
"Dear Inspector, I borrowed this large ship from an old friend to expand my business. Recently, the passenger transport business at sea has become more and more popular. You should also know that although we who have been at sea for half our lives cannot afford another ship for a while, it is very common to rent one from an old friend. This old friend of mine is..."
He made up a reason why it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the ship in a short period of time because the communication in this world was not very developed. If he just mentioned the name of a distant friend, these naval inspectors would not be able to fly over immediately to confront someone. Moreover, he also knew the rules very well. In addition to making various disguises, he also understood the unspoken rules of this industry very well. During the conversation, he slipped a gorgeous coat of arms made of pure gold into the hands of this inspector without anyone noticing.
"Your Excellency, Inspector, this is an exotic souvenir sent to me by my old friend, but I don't know much about these things and can't see its artistic value. You are well-informed and you are definitely better suited to appreciate its charm..."
Under his skillful operation, the inspector's expression quickly changed from cold to soft. He pinched the golden coat of arms with his fingers, quickly put it into his pocket, and then pretended to start reviewing the information. After a while, he said, "Well... there is nothing wrong with the documents. I will actually check it."
Although he still spoke in a businesslike manner and began to walk around on the deck of the ship, inspecting some crew members and looking through some cargo, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he did so perfunctorily and basically acquiesced to the legality of the ship.
Captain Sea Parrot, who had facilitated all this, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He quietly walked to Wang Zhifan, who was quietly working as a crew member not far away, and whispered to him, "We are very lucky. This inspector is not that old-fashioned. It depends on how the other one is doing."
"Both two people here have to deal with it? Aren't they together?"
Wang Zhifan was a little confused after hearing this. He thought that as long as he dealt with the person who read the file just now, he would basically pass the level.
"They are separated. We can only enter the port if both of them pass. The new governor of Princess Port did this very disgustingly, but don't worry, I will deal with the other one right away."
The captain of Sea Parrot immediately assured Wang Zhifan.
A few minutes later, while the inspector who had been looking at the documents was still looking around on the deck to catch fish, another inspector also came out of the cabin below the deck and returned to the deck. This man actually went to the cabin alone to conduct an inspection, which showed that he was a very meticulous and resolute person, which immediately put the captain Sea Parrot who was waiting to deal with him on the deck with pressure.
"Your Excellency, Inspector! There can be no problem with my ship. I have been taking this route Princess Port for many years. We can be said to be old friends..."
The person hurried forward to get close to this meticulous inspector and seized the opportunity to bribe him. However, the situation was completely different from the previous one. This inspector's attitude was quite cold!
"Take what you have in your hands, or I will report you for bribery!"
The inspector quickly scolded Captain Sea Parrot who was stuffing things for him. He did not care about the value of the things he prepared to give him, and he acted in a completely formal and selfless manner.
And that's not all. The man then said something to Captain Sea Parrot that made his heart sink, "I just checked in your cabin and found many people with suspicious identities. Now I seriously suspect that your ship has an unknown origin. You park the ship here and don't move it until Port Authority sends someone to take over and conduct a thorough investigation!"
After the inspector finished speaking, he immediately headed towards the hook rope at the side of the ship. He was not going to delay and went back to report it.
"Damn it... How could I meet such a stubborn guy?"
When Captain Sea Parrot saw this, he immediately felt that something was serious. He had dealt with Princess Port's new-style inspectors before, but this was the first time he had encountered such a selfless and completely uncompromising person. It can be said that this kind of person has no other choice but to use violence and oppression. But the problem is that this is a port managed by the navy. Using violence is the same as committing suicide. There is power, but it is on the side of this inspector.
Even such a tough attitude of this person has caused another bad consequence, that is, another inspector who was originally taken care of by him also had other thoughts at this time. He could not unilaterally cover the ship, so when one person seriously stated that there was a problem with the ship, he would inevitably change his attitude. Otherwise, he would not be able to take responsibility if problems were really found on the ship.
Just when the plan to pretend to enter the port was about to completely collapse, Wang Zhifan, who had been pretending to be an ordinary crew member not far away, finally stopped being silent. At the beginning of this plan, he did not fully expect Captain Sea Parrot to handle everything. Now that things have gone wrong, he will try his best to play his role and forcefully restore the entire collapsed situation.
As for how he could do such a thing under such circumstances, the process was actually not very complicated.
In the first step, Wang Zhifan quickly caught up with the extremely rigid inspector.
In the second step, he shouted to him in a loud voice:
"Ombudsman! We are all innocent citizens! I will show you some detailed documents and you will understand!"
In the third step, he took the man's arm without any explanation and led him to the captain's cabin.
In this step, the old-fashioned inspector will certainly not listen to him, but Wang Zhifan does not need to care about this. He only needs to exert some control ability to make part of his body immobile and unable to speak. He can only be forcibly pulled away by him, and outsiders can't see much abnormality unless he is very close.
The fourth step is to control this old-fashioned guy and quickly pull him into the captain's cabin. This is the most critical core step. However, this step actually takes a very short time. In about half a minute, the two of them came out of the captain's room again. The old-fashioned inspector was still in front.
I saw this official port official who had wanted to detain the ship just a minute ago. As soon as he came out of the door of the captain's room, his attitude changed drastically and he turned around and said to Wang Zhifan who was following behind:
"Well, I made a mistake in my judgment just now. There is nothing wrong with this ship. You can enter the port."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for the young man following him to speak, he met another inspector who was walking this way, the one who was easily bribed by Captain Sea Parrot. He was currently here to clarify the situation and determine how to judge the ship in the end. When the old-fashioned inspector saw him, he said to him, "I have finished checking the documents. There is nothing wrong with the ship. You can go back."
After saying that, he took the lead towards the steel hook rope at the side of the ship. When the other inspector saw his attitude changing so quickly, his eyes suddenly became confused. However, he was happy and relaxed when he thought that the other party was doing this. Anyway, the benefits were already obtained, so he did not waste time here, and immediately got off the boat and left.
This whole process can be said to be bizarre. Captain Sea Parrot, who was watching this scene on the deck, was a little confused. He didn't know what Wang Zhifan was doing in the captain's cabin to make the guy he felt unable to deal with be willing to give them accommodation so quickly and let them enter the port.
Being quite curious, he couldn't help but walk towards Wang Zhifan, who was still standing at the door of the captain's cabin, and wanted to ask him about the specific situation.
However, at this time Wang Zhifan just shook his head and said nothing, and blocked the door of the captain's cabin to prevent him from entering.
"Sir, how did you convince that person?"
Even after being rejected, the Sea Parrot captain still couldn't suppress his curiosity and continued to ask.
But Wang Zhifan in front of him still didn't answer him, and still stood guard at the door of the captain's cabin. It wasn't until a while later, when Wang Zhifan suddenly walked into the captain's cabin, that his voice finally sounded in the captain's cabin.
"It's finally done. You can try this new identity in the future."
I saw that he was holding an ordinary wooden mask in his hand at the moment, and the cabinet next to him contained the ice-hard body of a certain harbor inspector.
