That's Right, I'm a Fake!

"Golden Dream", Captain's cabin.

Jodson, the Third Mate the "Flower Bow Tie," was visibly agitated, his voice trembling with emotion, "Captain, I'm doing all this to help you, you can't just abandon me..."

Bounty of £250,000!

"If word gets out and the crew finds out, I suspect I'll have to sleep with my eyes open every night to prevent them from secretly killing me."

Before "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina could speak, Danitz chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? You're Sequence 6, you're not so easy to take down."

What he said was true, but his tone didn't sound like he was trying to comfort him at all.

It was more like schadenfreude.

At this moment, "Bucket" Daniels suddenly blurted out, "Do you think this imposter can get the £250,000 Bounty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jodson turned around angrily and glared at him.

You're the imposter!

Your whole family are imposters!

"I'm the real Jodson, okay!" Orpheus stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Tinplate's " eyes suddenly lit up. "Then we can all retire! We won't have to brave the wind and sun, risking our lives to search for treasure anymore!"

As he spoke, his face flushed with excitement, he looked at Jodson and said sincerely:

"Good brother, let's make a sacrifice!"

"I swear to the Seven Deities before the captain and everyone else, from now on your parents will be my parents, and I will be even more devoted to them than you are!"

"Get out of here!" Jodson shuddered inexplicably and quickly took a few steps closer to the captain's table, worried that these guys might really lose their temper.

"Captain, look at them..."

"Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina looked around, a helpless expression on her face. "That's enough, all of you. Stop teasing Jodson."

She hesitated for a moment, then said in a calm tone, "Countries aren't fools; they won't so easily hand over such an astronomical Bounty."

"The bounty they've placed is for the ' King of the Curtain,' not a Sequence 6."

"Even if you do send Jodson over, they'll just think he's an imposter trying to cheat for the Bounty with some kind of facial alteration."

"It won't work?" "Tinplate" looked disappointed, as if he hadn't been joking.

Danitz crossed his arms and scoffed, "What are you guys thinking? It's definitely not going to work. How can a fake be worth £250,000?"

Imposter... At this moment, Jodson felt a strange sense of familiarity with the word, and nodded vigorously. "That's right, I'm an imposter!"

"I'll go out and tell everyone the Truth later, so they won't act recklessly."

He suddenly remembered the words he had wished the guy a successful hunt when they parted ways in Bayam, and he wished he could go back in time and slap himself to death.

"Useless." Bru Wall, the "Gourmet" who hadn't uttered a word since arriving in the captain's cabin, poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"As long as one person is taking chances, your situation will be very dangerous.

"And..."

He glanced at Danitz, drawing out his words, then turned back to the Third Mate: "Have you forgotten what happened when Danitz was ambushed by 'Iron' Maveti '?"

"Although I'm very reluctant to believe it, there might indeed be a traitor on board."

They won't care whether you're an imposter or not.

"Singer" Orpheus nodded in agreement. "That's right."

"Furthermore, if anyone dares to lay a hand on someone who is suspected of Pirate King, aside from Lunatic and the mentally ill, what kind of strength do you think they would have?"

"At least one Sequence 5, maybe even Demigod!"

"No, I don't want to!" Jodson shuddered violently, looking at "Vice Admiral Iceberg" with a mournful face. "Captain, I've made up my mind."

"I think I should quit my job. I want to go back home and grow grapes. My Old Man just bought a Vineyard, and he can't manage it all by himself."

Edwina looked around. "You've always been free, but..."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled, "If you're simply worried about your personal safety, I do have a way to let you stay."

"I just don't know if you'd be willing."

I knew the captain wouldn't abandon me... Besides, I helped her, which led to all this... Jodson paused slightly, then nodded without hesitation:

"I do!"

Danitz frowned deeply upon hearing this, sensing that something was amiss.

He quickly realized, "That Dogshit Jodson, answering questions is like giving wedding vows! I really want to kill him and see if I can get the Bounty!" He glanced around and nodded slightly to the few people who had the same look in their eyes.

Very well, it seems everyone agrees again: Jodson, that piece of Dogshit, just needs a good beating; the gift he gave earlier was still too insignificant...

Ignoring her subordinates' subtle actions, Edwina continued:

"In fact, this was also his arrangement. I didn't quite understand it at first, but I finally understood everything after listening to Danitz's report yesterday."

He left you some compensation.

As she spoke, she opened a labeled drawer and took out a semi-transparent, jelly-like object with a dark green background.

All eyes turned to them, and they saw faces of various appearances appearing and disappearing inside, like shadowy figures hidden behind dark curtains.

"What's this?" Bucket asked Daniels.

Edwina retracted what she was about to say to Jodson and instead said, "This is a ' Faceless ' Beyonder Characteristic, belonging to Sequence 6 of the ' Seer ' Pathway."

"As for what constitutes Beyonder Characteristic, you can ask Danitz."

After speaking, she glanced sideways and tossed the things in her hands to Jodson:

"Have someone craft it into a Mystical Item. It will likely grant you the ability to alter your appearance and physique, making it easier to disguise your identity." Sequence 6 Beyonder Characteristic? Crafted into Mystical Item that can change appearance and physique? Jodson nimbly caught it, his heart leaping with joy.

As expected of the Pirate King, he's incredibly generous!

They gave out several thousand pounds in compensation without hesitation.

However, just as he was feeling pleased, he heard the captain continue:

"Also, for safety reasons, please stop using your nickname and name."

"Change to another one."

"I'll leak the news through certain channels," said Jodson, the "Flower Bow Tie," after he left. The "Golden Dream" recruited a new Third Mate.

Jodson paused, a question slowly rising in his mind:

"?"

I only took one annual leave, and when I came back, my nickname was stolen, I couldn't use my face, and I even had to change the name my parents gave me?

This is outrageous! How can they do things like this? He grumbled inwardly, then swiftly stuffed the "Faceless" characteristic into his pocket.

Mystical Item at Sequence 6, hehe, hehehe...

In April, Backlund is no longer as cold and gloomy as in winter. People have shed their heavy clothes, the temperature has warmed up, the grass and trees have sprouted, and everything is full of vitality.

This was probably the most relaxed period of time Lorry had experienced since his transmigration.

Over on the Southern Continent.

Pali Beria goes around killing members of the "Rose School" in hopes of quickly digesting the Potion and accumulating the initial funds to Advancement "Demon".

"Troll" Tego, acting as Joe's bodyguard but actually as an extension of his true form, has been secretly guiding Joe's revenge and trying to expose the swindler from back then.

After the unfortunate adventurers were acquitted, they successfully obtained some useful clues and are investigating the other victims one by one.

The operation went relatively smoothly.

The outline of the mastermind behind this is gradually becoming clearer.

In addition, the three young men from Deancia have shown remarkable progress, and after nearly a month of preparation, the mine officially started construction a few days ago.

Joe sent a telegram back, claiming that the next step of the plan would be taken soon.

Across the Five Seas, Mumulik Solomon, aboard the "Black Lady," has been searching for members of the Shadow of Order. He attempts to unravel new strongholds through meticulous investigation, thereby launching raids and plundering the Beyonder Characteristic needed for his own Advancement.

--This ancient, Concealment organization seemed quite wary of "King of the Five Seas" Nast, and quickly relocated after Burns Solomon's death.

Unfortunately, the opponent was very cautious, and the clones gained nothing.

With them helping out with many things, Lorry's main body naturally became more relaxed, spending his days writing books and painting, living a very comfortable life.

But things weren't all smooth sailing.

For example, his deal with the "Temperance Faction".

The "Temperance Faction" wanted to pay in Pound to buy those Beyonder Characteristic.

Lorry wanted to make up the price difference to exchange for a "1" level Sealed Artifact, even if the negative effects were severe, since it was just for Illusions use anyway.

Such a demand was naturally rejected by the "Temperance Faction".

Clearly, they didn't want to exchange their precious Sealed Artifact for a pile of Pound, as that would be too low a cost-benefit ratio for an ancient organization.

Neither side was willing to compromise, so the negotiations naturally stalled and could not move forward. Miss Sharron, acting as the mediator, was busy negotiating between the two sides.

Her once delicate, doll-like face was now visibly haggard. She was also becoming more talkative each day.

Near the "Bravehearts" bar, there's a cheap Inn deals were once made.

In the Washroom Mirrors, Sharron, wearing a black court dress and a matching small soft hat with her long, pale blonde hair cascading down, spoke with a rare, slightly undulating voice:

"Let's change your terms."

"We cannot agree to trade with a Level 1 Sealed Artifact."

Lorry's Illusions chuckled and said:

That's not how you say it.

I believe there's no deal in the world that can't be done.

Sharron remained silent.

"We've been wearing them down for almost half a month, it should be about time, right?" Thinking this, Lorry controlled the Illusions and said, "I have a feasible plan."

Miss Sharron in the mirror raised her azure eyes and gazed at him quietly. "You don't want a pile of waste paper, and neither do I, so..." At this point, Lorry's Illusions paused briefly, then changed the subject:

Why don't we just barter?

Sharron's tone was calm and incisive. "This was our Oldest One proposal; you yourself insisted on not including anything below the level of Demigod."

Lorry's Illusions did not deny it, and he smiled and nodded:

"So, my idea is that most of the previous transaction will remain unchanged, and I will make up the difference with the Beyonder Characteristic you need, not money."
