Go to Generous to meet " Vice Admiral Iceberg " Edwina Edwards? Klein paused for a second, almost frowning.
This wasn't unacceptable to him; on the contrary, it was an opportunity to exchange ideas and ask about trivial details that were difficult to explain in writing. He might even gain Spirit Intuition from it, accumulating information for future promotions and the acquisition of High-Sequence Potion formulas.
"One more friend, one more channel..." Klein silently repeated this to himself, took out a heavy gold coin, and Divination whether the trip would be dangerous in front of " Blazing " Danitz.
The gleaming gold coin rose into the air, then tumbled down, landing in Klein's palm with the numbers facing up.
This indicates a negative view, suggesting that the meeting between Klein and " Vice Admiral Iceberg " Edwina in Port Generous is not particularly dangerous.
Klein shifted his gaze to Danitz and said calmly:
"Good."
"On behalf of the captain, I thank you for accepting the invitation." Danitz quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes crinkling into a smile and his brows relaxing.
Klein glanced at the wall clock and said:
I'll go to the restroom first.
Go to the restroom first? Does that mean you're going out later and need to use your status to buy me a boat ticket? Danitz's gaze unconsciously followed Gehrman Sparrow's figure, keenly discerning the other's unspoken meaning.
After confirming his findings using pendulum Divination above the Gray Fog, Klein washed his hands, left the washroom, and said to Danitz:
"Go out."
"Me?" Danitz pointed to himself.
Klein nodded as he put on his coat.
"Actually, is it really necessary? You can just go to Elland and ask him to help you get two tickets..." Danitz offered his opinion with unusual sincerity.
Klein gave him a cold glance, said nothing, put on his top hat, and went out the Door Opening.
Danitz shuddered and swallowed back his second suggestion. "Buy fake identity documents and use your ability to alter your appearance and physique to buy two tickets through legitimate channels."
He rewrap his scarf, pulled his cap down low, and quickly caught up with Gehrman Sparrow.
Nearly twenty minutes later, Klein pointed to the noisy area diagonally ahead and said:
"Is this the place?"
That was the " Seaweed Bar " where Danitz had recently failed to buy a ticket for the Black Ships.
"Yes..." Danitz was taken aback by the unexpected turn of events and was momentarily stunned.
He had already given a general account of his experiences during his trip, so he didn't understand why Gehrman Sparrow wanted to return.
In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly had a guess and blurted out:
"You wouldn't be thinking of helping me get revenge, would you?"
This guy may be crazy, but he's a pretty good friend. You can tell from how he risked his life to enter Bansy Harbor for Elland and the others... Danitz remarked sincerely.
Klein glanced at him, said nothing, and strode into the " Seaweed Bar ".
"Actually, there's no need..." Danitz followed behind, offering a less forceful piece of advice.
For him personally, if it weren't for the fear of things escalating, he would have loved nothing more than to have those double-crossed thieves covered in cement and sunk to the bottom of the sea!
The bar was noisy and bustling, filled with distinctive local music, creating a psychedelic atmosphere.
Danitz carefully looked around, searching for the group that had tried to double-cross him, as well as the notorious pirate " Blue Eyes " Mith and his crew.
"That's Denil," Danitz casually introduced the black market merchant.
"What a pity, it's too chaotic here. I don't even know if those guys are still around..." he thought regretfully.
Klein followed the gaze, his right hand stroking the " Creeping Hunger " badge on his left palm.
He turned his head to look at Danitz, and said with a normal expression:
"Take the scarf away."
His tone was as if he were ordering Danitz to buy a beer.
"Huh?" Danitz stood there, stunned, wondering if he had misheard.
Klein slowly grinned and said:
"Take off the scarf. Don't make me repeat myself a third time."
"Why..." Danitz's words were cut off by a cold and crazed gaze.
He took off his scarf, looking bewildered and confused. He inexplicably felt that everyone around him was looking him up and down, recognizing him as the great pirate with a bounty of 5,500 pounds, " Blazing " Danitz.
Klein, maintaining a smile that concealed his madness, continued to give orders:
Take off your hat.
"Go buy tickets."
In that instant, Danitz seemed to be struck by lightning, and almost jumped up.
"That way I'll be recognized..." His voice trailed off under Gehrman Sparrow's gaze.
By this time, he understood what Gehrman Sparrow was trying to do.
He wanted to use me, worth 5500 gold pounds, as bait to lure out those Greed pirates or powerful figures behind the mafia! Bullshit! How could I have thought he was a decent friend? No, how could I have thought he was my friend! That son of a bitch! Danitz roared inwardly, cursing repeatedly.
He had no way to resist, because he knew what a madman Gehrman Sparrow was.
This is a Lunatic that even a pirate general wants to hunt down!
Danitz gave Distortion smile, slightly shaking his head back and forth as he took off his hat and slowly walked towards Denil.
A series of gazes swept over him, paused for two seconds, and then abruptly withdrew.
One by one, the drunkards retreated like a tide, clearing a wide path, as if the ocean had been parted.
Seeing their reactions, Danitz, while initially alarmed and worried, surprisingly found the scene quite pleasant.
Is this the prestige of a great pirate? Is this what it feels like to be looked up to and admired? Damn it, I heard someone say my name, someone whispered " Blazing "... Danitz knew he had been recognized, and he moved forward tremblingly, his hands hanging down, ready to fight.
" Danitz? ' Blazing ' Danitz!" " Blue Eyes " Mith exclaimed in astonishment from the crowd.
His subordinate glanced around and said excitedly:
"Boss, it's really ' Blazing ' Danitz! 5500 pounds!"
Should we make a move?
Mith narrowed his azure eyes, raised his left arm, and slapped his subordinate hard on the back of the head:
You stupid donkey!
"If ' Blazing ' Danitz were a fool like you, he would have died countless times already!"
"He dares to show up like this, he must not be afraid of being attacked! Is there a powerful person behind him?"
Mith suddenly felt a sense of panic and looked around.
He suspected that " Vice Admiral Iceberg " Edwina Edwards had secretly arrived in " City of Generosity " Bayam!
Through the gaps between people, he saw a young gentleman standing near the entrance, wearing a black double-breasted coat, a half-high silk hat, black hair, brown eyes, a thin face, and sharp features.
Without needing to say a word, Mith's Spirit Intuition told him that this was a very terrifying being.
His heightened Spirit Intuition has brought him many problems, but it has also allowed him to successfully escape many dangers!
"Go!" he ordered in a low voice, then, using the other patrons as cover, he escaped through the back door of the bar, just like Danitz had done before.
Danitz approached Denil with a pounding heart and bought two tickets to Generous from the bewildered and frightened man.
He walked out of the bar on his own after returning the way he came, at Gehrman Sparrow's signal, and no one launched a sudden attack.
Aren't there supposed to be a lot of desperados among pirates? Sure enough, a hastily devised trap is unlikely to work... An unusual occurrence often means something is wrong, although it can also be used to frighten the enemy... Unfortunately... Klein adjusted his top hat and followed Danitz.
At this moment, Danitz was lingering by the gas streetlight Gehrman Sparrow come out, he forced a smile and said:
"Can I wear a scarf and hat now?"
"Ha ha, those cowards!"
"Okay." Klein didn't pause and quickened his pace towards the other end of the street. Danitz's pupils contracted, and he quickly followed, asking urgently:
Why did you suddenly run away?
Klein didn't turn his head, and said in a steady voice:
"Do you want to stay put and wait for the ' Mandated Punishers ' to invite you?"
As he spoke, he pulled out the paper figure, shook it, and flung it away, where it burned to ashes.
Danitz then realized that although those cowards didn't dare attack him, they definitely had the courage to report him, and if successful, they would have a chance to get part of the bounty!
He ran into a quiet alley and saw Gehrman Sparrow stop, which gave him time to wrap his scarf and put on his hat.
"Where are we going now?" Danitz asked, slightly out of breath.
Klein glanced at him:
"Find Elland."
Danitz's lips twitched twice, as if he wanted to throw a fireball at him.
"Buy a ferry ticket to Oravi Island," Klein added, stepping out of the alley.
Direnius is the first island that was discovered after the Rorsted Archipelago were moved south.
"... Yes, there are ships going to Generous there too! Everyone's attention is on the passenger ship from Bayam to Generous right now, no one would ever imagine we'd go around through Oravi Port!" Danitz exclaimed in realization.
On Tuesday morning, Klein personally helped Danitz disguise himself, turning him into a mixed-race man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Although this doesn't allow the use of the " Faceless's" abilities, it's still at least ten times better than Danitz's previous disguises.
They boarded the ship successfully and prepared to head south to the Oravi Port, which would take about 10 hours.
Ugh!
The passenger ship left the port and sailed into the open sea.
Under the warm sunshine, amidst thin clouds, a blue sky, and a slightly chilly breeze, the hybrid-powered boat sailed quietly and smoothly on the gently rippling waves until the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Klein was in the cabin, pondering a passage from the Book of Secrets, while Danitz paced back and forth, daydreaming about how to brag to his companions.
Suddenly, their vision went dark at the same time, as if clouds had drifted over and blocked the Sun.
Klein subconsciously looked outside and saw a huge, black sailboat that had appeared in the distance. It was nearly a hundred meters long, with its sails hoisted high and a gun on its side.
It hadn't even gotten close yet, and its direction of travel was off, but it still made the surrounding area seem as if it had been bathed in a dark the Sun.
Danitz wore a complex expression of worship mixed with fear, longing, and disgust. He hissed and murmured as if in a dream:
" Black Emperor..."
