She knew Ms. M?!

Over the next few days, Luther was busy reorganizing his fleet.

The potion ingredients provided by the Tarot Club members arrived one after another, and the most eager of his crew successfully became Beyonders. Most chose combat-oriented pathways such as Sailor, Warrior, and Hunter, with a few Savants, Spectators, and Seers providing support.

The boatswain, Walter, had bought a Sequence 7 potion of the Black Emperor pathway at the Pirate Assembly and had now successfully advanced to Briber; the helmsman, Rube, had received a reward from Luther and advanced to Sequence 8, Raging Berserker.

The ship's doctor, Darkwill, also seemed to be negotiating with his teacher, hoping to advance.

The first mate, Anderson, had assembled a thirty-man crew, intending to rely on them to perform his Sequence 4 advancement ritual.

Meanwhile, the name "King of Blood" gradually resounded across the Five Seas.

Stories of Alexander Gascoigne Grazing the King of Immortality and routing the Abomination spread through the mouths of the pirates who had survived the assembly. Though alcohol and vanity inevitably exaggerated and distorted these tales, their general thrust was accurate.

As a result, more and more people felt awe and admiration for this new king of the seas, and the fleet's recruitment efforts proceeded extremely smoothly everywhere. Some pirate groups even came to pledge themselves to him, but he drove them away.

A bloodstained skull flag flew high at their bows. Every island they passed was struck with terror, and every ship that spotted them along the way fled far into the distance.

Nas, the White City, capital of the Gargas Archipelago in the Beluga Whale Sea.

"You can disembark now."

Luther spoke to Sophia.

This was a Feysac colony, so naturally, they would take a princess of their own nation seriously.

"All right, Captain."

Sophia's eyes flickered.
