After Riven finished speaking, she pulled out a box—it was Hextech Motorcycle! How could I have forgotten about it!

Once the Hextech Motorcycle activates its underwater system, it transforms into a small submarine, eliminating the need for even strong winds. The headlights also possess excellent penetrating power; while the visible range isn't wide, the beam extends very far. ♡👽 🍬🍬

I just pierced the sea monster's body, and blood filled the surrounding seawater. We followed the trail of blood and quickly found it.

This thing is huge! The light couldn't even illuminate its entire body. Its scales shimmered with a ghostly green light under the illumination, which was quite eerie!

I activated the attack system and bombarded its tail relentlessly, knocking off many scales and tearing its skin and flesh, rendering it unable to swim.

Unable to escape, the sea monster had no choice but to fight desperately. I tried to avoid attacking its belly, because it wouldn't be good if Sarah was still alive and I killed her with my weapon.

With Riven and I working together, the sea monster gradually lost its ability to attack. We smashed its tail and ripped off a large chunk of its head.

I sheathed my Gale Sword and, together with Riven, cut open its belly to search for Sarah. We eventually found her inside some organ, I don't know where.

She was already unconscious by then. I quickly pulled her into the motorcycle and removed the nausea from her mouth to prevent her from suffocating for too long. As for CPR and artificial respiration, that was left to Riven.

"Cough cough..."

Before Riven could even make a move, Sarah coughed twice and woke up. Seeing us beside her, she looked bewildered. "Were you eaten too?"

"Yes, we're inside a sea monster's belly."

Sarah sat up with a start, only to find herself in a strange space where she could breathe freely and see the deep sea.

She wasn't stupid; seeing the smiles on our faces, she knew what was going on. "You guys are something else! What kind of strange thing is this?"

"This is a specialty of Piltover, called Hextech Motorcycle. I'll explain it to you in detail later. Let's go up there first!"

Sarah was excited when she first woke up, but now that she's relaxed, her whole body aches.

She explained to us that the sea monster we just saw was called a spiny fish. It didn't actually have spines, but its venom could stimulate the pain nerves of its prey, paralyzing it.

A typical stickleback is about the size of a human and usually does not attack humans because it has no teeth and can only swallow small prey.

This thing grew so big for some reason that it easily swallowed Sarah whole. If we hadn't had the Hextech Motorcycle, it probably would have escaped by now.

"Why didn't you bring out such a good thing sooner? You wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"Actually, I forgot. Riven reminded me. Luckily, you're alright."

"You actually care about me quite a bit."

"The main problem is that my Gale Sword was stolen; I can't afford that loss."

"He's really not popular with girls."

"He doesn't need to please you!" Riven added.

We surfaced; a thin mist still hung in the air, but the Daughter of Death's fleet was nowhere to be seen.

I adjusted the motorcycle into a flight system, the wings unfolded, and we took off. Sarah was both surprised and excited.

"Wow, this is so awesome! It can go into the sea and fly! I want one too!"

"This is made primarily of precious Hextech Crystal; there are only ten of them in the entire Piltover."

"How did you get them? Did you steal them?"

"We are not pirates."

"Haha, being a pirate is actually pretty good, so carefree."

"Is this what you call being unrestrained? I feel quite constrained. I'm constrained by my own subordinates, and I'm constrained by those stronger than me."

"Your idea is quite unique."

"Alright, hurry up and check your fleet's position. Where are we now?"

"This area is completely open; it must be deep sea. Let's head back."

"The problem is, which direction is back? We just came out of the sea and have no idea where we are."

"Fool, it's afternoon now. Why don't you just walk in the direction the sun is? Over there!"

Following Sarah's directions, I sped forward and soon spotted the fleet below, its flag bearing a skull and crossbones—the very symbol of the Misfortune Fleet.

The convoy was not sailing steadily, but was rapidly approaching us. In the distance, a group of small black dots were also approaching, indicating that they were being pursued by the enemy.

We startled these people by falling from the sky, but they were all overjoyed when they saw that it was their captain returning.

After inquiring, we learned that the Misfortune Fleet was fleeing into the deep sea, and that the Daughter of Death's Northern and Eastern fleets were coming together to avenge Gangplank, with the Western fleet reportedly also en route.

"Why are these people coming after us to avenge Gangplank?" Sarah asked her men.

"Our plan has been exposed; they know you were the one who killed Gangplank."

"Wait, although we've made a plan and planted explosives, I've already said we need to rescue the children there before we act. I've been gathering intelligence in nearby towns these past few days and haven't made a move yet!"

"Huh? You didn't do it? Then why is everyone in Bilgewater saying we bombed Gangplank?"

"How should I know! Oh well, whatever, let's just pretend we were the ones who blew it up. We were going to do it anyway, and if we run into the real culprit, I might as well thank this person!"

It turns out that Sarah had planted the explosives, which caused Riven and me a lot of trouble. However, she wasn't the one who detonated them; it seems more likely that it was the person who spread the rumors.

Sarah didn't care about taking the blame at all; on the contrary, she was quite happy. Although she would face the revenge of the Daughter of Death, this would make the Misfortune Fleet famous and attract a large number of like-minded people to join them.

Of course, if we can't weather the current crisis, nothing else matters.

"Yasuo, Riven, I want to hire you as my bodyguards!" Sarah said solemnly.

"And the compensation?"

"As long as you can guarantee my safety, you can choose whatever you want."

"We don't want any money or valuables, just help us find someone later."

"No problem, my intelligence network is very well-developed. Who are you looking for?"

I described the physical characteristics of Tam and the others, and she immediately instructed her men to search for them, and to notify us as soon as possible if there was any news.

The Daughter of Death stopped her pursuit as night fell, but before people could relax, a fire broke out in another direction, and soon someone reported that the Sea Worm fleet was attacking!

Is it a case of everyone kicking someone when they're down? It seems the Sea Worm want to take this opportunity to get revenge. They and Ghost Claw were betrayed by the Misfortune Fleet before, and if nothing unexpected happens, Ghost Claw is also involved in this operation, although he hasn't shown up yet.

Now, almost all of the most powerful fleets in the entire Bilgewater are involved in the battle, a spectacle reminiscent of Gangplank's great war to unify Biel.

At this point, Sarah ordered an attack!

"Let's take the initiative, brothers! We can't run away anymore. Although we're not confident against the well-ordered Daughter of Death, these mere Sea Worm dare to cause trouble!"
