Kings and Admirals of the Seas

Anderson felt slightly relieved to see that the crew's attention had been diverted.

At that moment, he felt the gaze of Sailor "Sea Serpent" Wolf Gout. This cautious fellow seemed to have sensed something was amiss long ago, and finally couldn't resist any longer, quietly approaching.

"First Mate, a ship is coming!"

Before Walter could speak, the lookout Sailor reminded him.

Anderson glanced out of the ship's side and saw a sailboat several tens of meters long approaching them. The ship was golden in the Sun, unlike the dirty appearance of typical pirate ships. It looked clean and tidy, without a mess of cannons, except for a single golden cannon on the central axis.

What's even more intriguing is that the ship's sails are decorated with various styles of Coin, including Loen Gold Pound, Verl D'Or from Intis, King Gold Horn from Feysac, and Risot from Feynapotter...

"Ah, this is Vice Admiral Iceberg's Golden Dream!"

Amidst the crowd, Princess Feysac Princess let out a joyful cry, having already recognized the ship as the Flagship of the legendary female Pirate Admiral.

"Oh..."

For some reason, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Anderson's face when he saw the ship. He walked to the ship's side and asked a woman standing at the bow, "What are you doing here?"

"I heard you've become a pirate too, so I came to say hello."

The woman at the bow of the ship answered calmly.

She was very beautiful, with an oval face, a high nose, thin lips, and clear blue eyes. She wasn't wearing a tricorn hat; her long brown hair was parted in the middle, simply tied in a knot at the back of her head, and then flowed smoothly down her back.

She wore a simple white shirt, dark trousers, and leather boots, which accentuated her spirited beauty.

"Vice Admiral Iceberg", Edwina Edwards!

"I see, so you're planning to use your relationship with me to get in touch with our captain," Anderson chuckled, his tone seemingly teasing. "No wonder you're the top student in the grade, loved by all the Teacher; you really know how to get things done..."

Edwina and Anderson were old acquaintances; they had both studied at the Church of Knowledge. However, the latter's exam results were not ideal, and he was not used to the atmosphere of the Church of Knowledge. In the end, he simply left the Church and became an outsider, choosing a freer life.

Indeed, behind the "Vice Admiral Iceberg" is the Church of Knowledge.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Disrespecting the captain is forbidden!"

"Keep arguing and I'll give you a good blast! This is Purification Cannon, perfect for cleaning your mouth!"

"Hit him, you're definitely going to hit him!"

Behind Edwina, a group of male pirates surged forward, cursing and swearing at the "Strongest Hunter of the Fog Sea," each one radiating obvious anger and some hidden emotion.

"Hehe..."

Seeing this, Anderson laughed even harder. He seemed about to say something, but then his eyes darted around, glancing at the captain's Captain's Cabin behind him, and he finally held back, simply waving to the pirates. "Good morning, everyone on the Golden Dream Ship. How are you enjoying your classes?"

Are you happy in class?

The pirates were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned red.

They were pirates in name only, but in reality, they were more like a group of treasure hunters. In order to find treasure more effectively, these burly men had to receive daily instruction from their captain. It was a bittersweet experience; the pain came from learning new knowledge, while the pleasure came from someone's personal teaching... ahem.

"Happy? I'll drive you..."

Regardless, this incident struck a nerve with these people. Some of the more impatient ones were about to lash out, but quickly Consciousness that if they said they didn't like classes, what if the captain really stopped assigning them lessons in the future? So they could only stop themselves and force themselves to turn bright red.

"Alright."

Seeing the pirates fall silent briefly, Anderson continued, "I will convey your goodwill to our captain. If anything happens at this conference, we can cooperate."

This was what he really wanted to express: to use the captain's reputation to secure a temporary ally for the Fleet.

"... Can."

Edwina looked into his eyes and nodded calmly. Although Anderson had not contacted the Church of Knowledge since becoming a pirate, the two still maintained some tacit understanding.

Just then, a small boat came from the direction of Black Lake Island and stopped in front of them.

"Your Excellency [Blood Bishop] and Your Excellency Vice Your Excellency Vice Admiral Iceberg, I am the Earl's servant. Please allow me to guide your ships to their dock."

A man in uniform stood on the small boat and bowed to them.

"Captain..."

Anderson pretended to go into the Captain's Cabin to ask for permission, and came out a moment later, saying to the other man, "Lead the way."

Edwina had no objections.

So the two Flagship and their respective escort ships, followed by the guide boats, headed towards Black Lake Island under the watchful eyes of countless pirates. When the pirates saw the warships following the Doe, their first reaction was confusion and disbelief. But when they saw clearly that the warships were flying the blood-stained black skull and crossbones flag, their doubts quickly turned into awe and shock.

Because they had recognized the owner of the warship as none other than the notorious villain, [Blood Bishop] Alexander Gascoigne, who had recently caused a major incident in the Sonia Sea!

Anderson and his Sailor stood on the deck, their hearts not as calm as they appeared, watching the approaching pirates and the unusual ships.

The ancient warship, "Vice Admiral Dusk," the Flagship of Bulatov Ivan, reflected the brilliant colors of Twilight in the sunlight;

Like a blood-soaked ship made of countless pieces of Flesh, branches, and lumps, the "Rose," the Flagship of "Senor Admiral of Blood," Señor;

Emerging from the deep sea, the futuristic and uniquely designed vessel, the Flagship of "Vice Admiral Deep Sea" Hal Constantine, the "Newins"...

And the Flagship of Nast, the "King of the Five Seas," The Black Emperor." This three-masted sailing ship, hundreds of meters long, was moored in the water, exuding an indescribable sense of majesty.

Suddenly, Anderson saw a black light fly out of the Captain's Cabin's cabin and onto the sail of the Black Emperor. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the black canvas that had allowed them to traverse the Spirit World.

The "Golden Dream next to it also emitted a light, and Edwina held up a canvas in her hand, indicating that she had also arrived here in this way.

Just as Anderson was watching these pirate ships, someone else was secretly observing them.

"[Temperance] is here too..."

On the Ghost Ship "Blue Avenger," Alger Will's gaze swept across the faces of the crew members, trying to find traces of the Blood Bishop, but to no avail.

Because that person is still on the Fog Sea at this moment.

A brand new Sun hung in the sky, scorching the black sailboat below.

The pure light fiercely drove away all impurities.
