A Stunning Beauty

Over the years, Gangplank has been promoting the Baju culture, advocating for the worship of the Serpent Mother, and has built many temples in various places, appointing priests to manage related matters. ☜💥 🍓🐧

People often visited these clergy members and were quite familiar with them. When they saw twelve unfamiliar priests appear in town, they immediately spread the news.

We were quickly surrounded by a group of people, all crew members from the Northern Passage. They didn't recognize the Southern priests and were preparing to arrest us on charges of impersonating clergy.

Gangplank told us not to struggle, and he decided to use this method to get inside the fleet and check the situation. So we were tied up tightly and sent onto the ship.

Along the way, I overheard many people whispering that the northern smugglers were preparing to declare themselves kings. Some even talked about it openly. No wonder the news had spread. It seems people were not shy about it at all.

Hearing this, Gangplank saw no further reason to investigate and obediently followed the escorts to the facilitator's room.

The guide was taken aback when he saw us and quickly came over to untie us. He recognized the twelve priests of the Temple of Bahru, and their personal arrival now dispelled any doubt about Gangplank's identity.

"You're not dead, bro!"

"You're actually hoping for my death, Frod!"

"How could that be? When I heard the news of your death, I immediately quelled the Misfortune Fleet to avenge you!"

"I heard you've recruited them and are planning to call yourself the captain of the Daughter of Death?"

"If you die, of course I have to do it! Am I supposed to just watch the fleet scatter?"

"Hmm... you're right. I came to see you to check on things here, but it seems you're still the same old Frod. I guess I was overthinking it!"

"Don't mention it, brother. It's getting late. Let's chat while we drink!"

"No, I need to get to the Western Passage. The situation is extremely urgent; we must get you all together as soon as possible."

"That won't make a difference if we stay one more night! It's much better to start our journey at dawn!"

"That's right. No matter how urgent things are, we can't skip a rest. My brother and I haven't had a drink in a long time. But I'm telling you in advance, we can't drink too much tonight, so as not to interfere with tomorrow's business."

When Frod saw that Gangplank had agreed, he immediately ordered food and drink to be prepared. But I kept wondering why I hadn't seen Tam. Hadn't he come here?

The banquet on the ship was naturally very lavish, with a large table laden with all kinds of seafood. A group of beautiful women danced a unique island dance, which was quite provocative. However, what caught my attention the most was the beautiful woman nestled in Frod's arms.

This woman was quite different from the other women in the Bilgewater; her skin was exceptionally beautiful and seemed unaffected by the sea breeze.

Her long, off-white hair was particularly striking, and her body proportions were simply perfect, with even her limbs being very well-proportioned. Her deep-set eyes and thin lips that seemed to be smiling, along with her small, delicate nose, made her simply perfect.

How can a person grow up to look like this? It's practically a work of art!

Gangplank also noticed the beautiful woman and stared at her from the moment she entered the room. He eventually couldn't help but ask Frod, "Who's in your arms?"

"I was just about to introduce you, brother. This is my lover, Jenny. Come, Jenny, greet your brother. This is the famous Gangplank, the Gangplank of the Terror of the Seas!"

Despite saying this, Frod refused to let go, holding her tightly as if she were a rare treasure. Jenny could only greet Gangplank from his arms, her voice as sweet and charming as her appearance.

Gangplank exclaimed enviously, "Wow, kid, where did you find such a beautiful woman?"

"This..." Frod hesitated for a long time before finally saying it.

"What? What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"I stole this from the ball in Gasvant the other day."

"What?! You stole Gasvant's woman?" Gangplank's expression changed drastically.

"She's a dancer, not Gasvant's woman!"

"Then why did you rob it? If it were a dancer, you could have just asked, and he wouldn't have hesitated to pay, right?"

"In short, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter. Gasvant is no longer loyal to you; he has betrayed the Daughter of Death."

"That's not up to you. I'm going to see for myself tomorrow! And you'd better not let me know you've fallen out over a woman!"

Judging from their conversation, it seems that this man named Gasvant is the Channel Clearers. It's not impossible that they would fall out over a woman like her.

After this whole ordeal at the banquet, no one was in the mood to drink anymore, and the atmosphere became a little awkward without me even realizing it. Just then, I suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

I only drank two glasses of wine, how could I feel dizzy?

I glanced at Riven and noticed she was getting a little cocky too, and then I saw all twelve priestesses were doing the same!

Oh no, Frod has drugged the drink!

I even took a sniff before drinking, but I didn't detect any unusual smell. It seems the pirates' methods are quite ingenious!

Gangplank was also caught in the trap, and he pointed at Frod and cursed, "You bastard, you actually betrayed me! I trusted you!"

"I'm sorry, brother, I have my reasons for doing this!"

"You..." Gangplank collapsed before he could finish speaking.

After a period of dizziness, I didn't lose consciousness but slowly recovered, as did Riven. It seems our superhuman physiques neutralized the effects of the drug.

When Frod saw us sway a few times and stand up, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered his men to kill us.

I drew my Gale Sword, but it felt limp and weak, and my attacks couldn't unleash their full power. Riven was in a similar situation, while Frod had many powerful subordinates, and soon we were forced to defend!

But it's alright. As long as we don't lose, we can hold on until we recover. Killing them will be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables then.

Just as we were waiting for the drug's effects to wear off, Jenny suddenly made her move! As soon as she made a move, I felt something was wrong; her strength was too powerful!

She tried to grab my throat, which I managed to dodge, but I still took a solid hit to the shoulder, leaving my skin and flesh torn open!

Riven tried to help me, but she was also grabbed, her greatsword slipped from her hand, and blood streamed down her forearm.

What an amazing woman!

We could no longer care about Gangplank and the others' safety and tried to escape, but Jenny leaped in front of me and blocked my way. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, play with us a little longer. You weren't like this when you chased me last time."

"Last time?" Jenny's words confused me. "What are you talking about?"

"Hahaha... It's my hobby to let people die with unanswered questions!"

Jenny launched another attack, and as I dodged, I shouted, "Hurry up and help! Stop watching, we can't hold on much longer!"

Upon hearing my words, Jenny quickly looked around, but seeing no one else, she chuckled, "Heh heh, playing childish tricks! You really startled me!"

After saying that, she made another move, but was blocked halfway through. A short man holding a short sword stood in front of us, it was A Bing.

Then Jenny was suddenly restrained; it was Tam who appeared and pressed down on her shoulders, his large, strong hands gripping her.

"This is no child's play; you've finally shown up!"
