The "Fool" Struggled to Keep a Straight Face (6K)

If I were to suddenly steal Klein's transformation ability using the "Fire Seed" glove right now... Lorry's gaze passed over Danitz, and he said with a smile:

No, you've mistaken me for someone else.

As he spoke, he reached for the patterned bow tie and gently shook it, instantly restoring the knotted tie to its original strip shape, which he then draped over Danitz's shoulder.

Lorry looked at Klein with sincere eyes:

"He's wearing a ' Flower Bow Tie '."

The air fell silent instantly.

"..." Danitz was stunned for a full five seconds before he reacted, his mind subconsciously considering what would happen if two Bounty were combined on him.

He recalled how Gehrman Sparrow would instinctively shudder whenever he heard of a famous Pirate.

This guy will definitely be tempted to turn me into a real Bounty! Thinking this, Danitz quickly tossed the floral bow tie back to his Third Mate.

You stinking pile of Dogshit!

Huff... Huff... How come the "Golden Dream" is full of weirdos... The Fourth Sailor-in-Charge has something wrong with his head, and I didn't expect their Third Mate to be so abnormal too... They seem trustworthy, but they're lying through their teeth... "Vice Admiral Iceberg" is really something... Klein remained expressionless, taking deep breaths inwardly.

He suppressed his laughter so hard his lips almost twitched, and glared fiercely at Danitz.

Just joining in the fun!

"Are you cooperating with your Third Mate in a theatrical performance?" Klein thought to himself.

If this guy hadn't suddenly added his own drama, I wouldn't have had to endure this much hardship.

Why are you glaring at me? I wasn't the one joking... Danitz looked at Klein blankly, then lowered his head in grievance.

Damn it... this stupid "Hunter" is adding drama to his life again... are you even a man?... Klein tried hard to recall the sad things from his two lifetimes.

He remained silent, determined not to speak up in order to maintain his public image.

If you don't speak, I won't speak either... Lorry thought calmly, feeling the cool touch of the "Calmness" ring.

Ten minutes later, realizing something was wrong, Danitz suddenly looked up.

Did someone just speak? I didn't hear anything!

Idiot... You're the middleman, shouldn't you be introducing the two sides...? If you don't want the Beyonder Characteristic, you can use it to benefit others...

Klein was speechless for a moment, then gave Danitz a cold glance. "Keep it down when you're seeing off guests. I don't want to be woken up a third time."

After saying that, he quickly turned around, exhaled almost imperceptibly to relax his facial expression, and strode towards his Bedroom.

Just as Klein reached the door, he heard the Fourth Sailor-in-Charge discontentedly behind him. "You usually talk so much nonsense, why were you so quiet just now?"

A thought struck him, and he subtly slowed down his turning of the handle.

Then, he heard the sound of a "Flower Bow Tie":

I thought he was having a "whoever speaks first loses" contest.

Whoever speaks first loses... Klein's expression froze for a few seconds, his lips twitched slightly, and he almost couldn't resist turning around to blast the other person with an Air Bullet.

If it weren't for his Spirituality intuition reminding him that doing so might involve risks.

No wonder he's Great Pirate with an even higher Bounty... Thinking this, Klein closed the door, and faintly heard the voice of the Third Mate of the "Golden Dream" again:

"Congratulations! The captain said you almost died, haha..."

"If you ask me, the newbies are better off staying on the ship. All this talk about vacations and causing trouble for others..."

"Oh, by the way, the captain asked me to tell you that the time I wasted cleaning up your mess will be deducted from your vacation days for the Future year..."

Hearing this makes even me, an outsider, feel my blood pressure rise; how could Danitz possibly hold back?

What a coward!

Is "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson also a "Hunter"? He sat at the foot of the bed, his thoughts racing, while gently massaging the corners of his eyes with both hands.

About fifteen minutes later, Klein heard the sound of the door Door Opening, and shortly after, he heard faint footsteps pacing back and forth outside.

If you want to discuss it now, knock on the door; if you want to wait until tomorrow, go back to your room and sleep... What kind of nonsense is this... He couldn't help but feel speechless.

What's going on with this "Flames" thing?

Fortunately, the Fourth Sailor-in-Charge's hesitation didn't last long. Before Klein's patience ran out, there was finally a knock on the door.

Along with it came Danitz's timid voice:

Are you... are you asleep?

"Not yet." Klein maintained Gehrman Sparrow's composure, his voice icy. "You're all being too noisy."

The tone of the voice sent a shiver down Danitz's spine, and he almost turned and ran away.

He composed himself and asked again:

"Do you want to hear about that piece of Dogshit's plan now?"

"Why weren't you this assertive when you were around?" Klein thought to himself, then stood up and walked outside.

The door opened, and he glanced sideways at Danitz:

"Let's talk about it outside."

"Oh, oh." Danitz nodded and followed behind like a lackey.

The two sat down in the Sofa area.

With a single glance from Klein, the Fourth Sailor-in-Charge immediately spoke:

"This guy—no, this piece of Dogshit— says he has other things to do, so he's only willing to provide necessary assistance as a backup force."

"If we can deal with 'Iron' and them, he'll pretend this never happened, and of course, he won't participate in the distribution of the spoils."

"If he doesn't step in, everyone will share the spoils according to their contributions."

"Damn it, that piece of Dogshit is definitely in a hurry to go to the Red Theater to find a woman. When I get back to the ship, I'll definitely give him free publicity and let everyone... cough!"

After being swept over by the cold gaze, Danitz immediately shut his mouth in embarrassment.

Klein looked away and fell into thought.

The more you work, the more you earn. At first glance, this seems like a good idea, but the problem is: aside from multiple layers of protection, it makes no difference whether you have it or not!

This can be called a plan?

Klein frowned slightly, trying to keep his tone indifferent:

"From an efficiency standpoint, if two ' Hunter ' set traps beforehand, it would be much easier for us to take down the 'Steel' gang."

Two "Hunter"?

Danitz was stunned. "Who is the other ' Hunter '?"

How could there be such a fool in the world...? Maybe we should just turn him into Bounty... Klein couldn't help but have this thought pop into his head again.

He said coldly:

"Your Third Mate ' Flower Bow Tie ' Jodson."

Danitz exclaimed, "Huh?" "But he's not a ' Hunter '..."

If he's not a "Hunter," then how come his Provocation are more skillful than yours?

Klein had long ago discerned Danitz's Beyonder Pathway from his actions, and was slightly surprised by the answer, but remained calm as if nothing had happened.

"If something goes wrong with the plan, do you have a way to contact him promptly?"

"Yes!" Danitz nodded, pulling a Small Charm from his pocket. "This is the communication method he just left behind."

"It's said that as long as you don't go beyond the ' City of Generosity,' activating this Charm will allow him to appear within ten minutes."

"Within ten minutes?" Klein pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
