Chapter 344: Innocent Smile

East of Alexey Island, sea area B202.

A golden steam engine ship was parked quietly on the sea, with silvery white light shining along the rune lines on the hull.

The power of the rune array acts from the bottom of the ship under the sea surface, calming the surrounding sea surface, making the sea surface calm and calm within one kilometer around the ship. Even a deep-sea species is far away, as if it is protected by the deep sea.

The entire ship was huge and bloated, like a moving island.

On top of it, the cockpit actually built a golden castle. Four huge chimneys were located at the four corners of the castle, slightly higher than the arc-shaped dome of the castle in the middle. Black smoke spewed out to form a looming mist above.

Around the sides of the ship, hundreds of pirates faced out of the ship. They all held uniform long-handled flintlock guns in their hands and observed their surroundings with serious expressions.

On the front and rear decks, there were hundreds of pirates taking a rest, drinking, laughing, and showing off their loot.

While their conversations varied, the expressions on their faces were unified—excitement and elation.

"Haha... The boss's decision is right. The Black Pearl no longer has the absolute dominance it did before."

"Even the 'Sea Emperor' is hiding in his lair and dare not come out. Others are no match for us at all."

"What about 'Shotgun' Blino, 'Dark Bear' Oroko, these so-called big pirates can't even compete with the boss's hand?"

"This time we can attack Esseki Island and Coyle Island. Next time it will be Awad Island's turn!"

"Hehehaha... Awad Island! One of the most important islands of the Black Pearl. The gold pounds stored there are comparable to the inventories of several kingdoms on land."

"Yes, I really hope that the boss can lead us to capture Awad Island. I have long wanted to stay in that high tower. Then I will change girls to play with every day, what about black pearls..."

The pirates shouted loudly and talked about the previous battles with great interest. They also imagined that one day they would be able to overthrow the Black Pearl and kill the "Emperor of the Sea" Isabello Clijsters - smiling very happily. .

However, when some people are happy, others are naturally worried.

"Boss, aren't you going to say something?"

Second Officer Maxwell Frye is a middle-aged man with a beard, tall and muscular, but he has a delicate mind and serves as the think tank of the entire Golden Dis.

At this time, he frowned as he looked at the lively scene on the deck below. The success of the previous operation not only did not make him happy, but made him more worried.

Dis was sitting cross-legged on the golden throne. His huge body was a head taller than Maxwell even when he was sitting. He took a few sips from the wine barrel and said in a cold tone: "What do you want to say?"

Maxwell hesitated and said: "Boss, the current situation is not good..."

"oh?"

"Although intelligence feedback from all parties shows that the Black Pearl is giving in, and Wojciech, where their lair is, has cut off contact with the outside world, but..."

Maxwell paused, then carefully considered his words and said, "But I don't think the Black Pearl doesn't have the strength to fight the Araniga."

"Except for the 'Emperor of the Sea', the Black Pearl has gathered more than half of the great pirates in the entire sea under its command, plus the countless wealth they have accumulated over the years, as well as the epochal relics, weapons and equipment handed over by nobles from various continents."

"I believe their strength will never be as unbearable as they appear now..."

"So?" Dis's golden eyes turned slightly, and he looked at him and said, "Maxwell, if you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here."

There are no outsiders, but none of them are calm.

Maxwell glanced at a little girl standing next to the captain intentionally or unintentionally, and continued:

"Whether it's the 'Sea Emperor' hiding away or the retreat of the big pirates in the western seas, it could be their conspiracy."

"At least based on what I know about 'Iron Hammer' Lotilia, she will never make any useless arrangements."

"Then what?" Huang Jindis was noncommittal and still didn't say anything.

"And I," Maxwell sighed inwardly, and said with a somewhat lonely look, "I think we should be careful about the Black Pearl's counterattack. Because now, compared to the Araniga, our Golden Dis and the Pearl The number is closer."

"If the Black Pearl wants to take action, it would be better for them to choose us as their target."

Dis raised his eyebrows, stopped drinking, slowly put down the barrel, looked directly at him and said, "I understand what you mean."

He does know.

He knew the consequences of doing so long before he attacked Esseki and Coyle.

But the truth is that in his previous contract with the Araniga and the Twilight Sect, he had agreed to play the role of attracting the Black Pearl's attention.

This role requires him to take certain risks and carry out sneak attacks within the Black Pearl's core sphere of influence.

"Maxwell, how long have you been on this ship?"

Maxwell was stunned for a moment, not understanding the purpose of his question, and hesitated: "Eighteen years and three months."

"Eighteen years?" Dis's tone was a little melancholy, and then he showed a smile and laughed: "For so long, if it weren't for you, I, and the ship Golden Dis, would have been dead long ago. Sunk in the deep sea.”

"Boss, you..."

"Listen to me!"

Dis raised his hand and interrupted: "What I want to tell you is that your worry is right. But I know what I am doing, and I know the consequences of doing so, and those are just what you don't know."

Maxwell was surprised. What he didn't know?

As the second mate of the Golden Dis, is there anything he doesn't know about this ship?

But soon, he reacted and pinched his beard and said: "Are you referring to those people on the Araniga?"

"Yes, and no." Dis nodded, shook his head, and sighed: "I said before that Suad promised to provide us with a forbidden sea area..."

"But what I didn't tell you is that the sea area is just in exchange for the deposit we made, and there is another deal that I can't refuse later."

"According to the content of the transaction, I need to take you to attack the islands and pirate ships belonging to the Black Pearl as soon as possible, harass them as much as possible, and disperse their forces in the eastern waters, at least not all of them can stay on Awad Island."

"You..." Maxwell opened his mouth wide and understood.

No wonder he always felt that the Golden Dis chose to make a move too early. It turned out that this was one of the contents of the transaction.

"But, the risk of doing so is too great. I am worried..."

"I am worried too!" Dis's face turned cold and snorted: "Others don't know the origin of this ship, but you should know that I value this ship more than anyone else!"

Maxwell pursed his lips, and the tall figure was reflected in his eyes. A voice echoed in his heart: He knew that this man was sober...

That's good...

"So, I am looking forward to the Black Pearl taking the initiative to come over, and I will definitely give them a big gift when the time comes!"

"Boss, I..."

Boom!

Boom!

Before Maxwell finished speaking, he heard a huge roar from outside, and the whole ship shook violently.

"What's going on?!"

"Hahaha... they're here. I didn't expect them to come so soon!"

Dis stood up suddenly, looked outside the cabin, and a grim smile appeared on his face, "Maxwell, get ready for battle!"

"Yes!"

Maxwell didn't dare to neglect it, and left quickly, shouting loudly: "Everyone, get ready for battle, enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

"Dis..."

Just as Dis was about to leave, he heard a faint call from behind him. He looked back and grinned, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, Tina."

The little girl named Tina had long pale hair, and her big eyes looked at him hopefully, and nodded heavily: "Yeah!"

"Just wait here obediently, I'll be back soon."

"I will, Dis."

Dis looked at her with a touch of tenderness, and then turned and rushed out.

What he didn't know was that after he left, the little girl's weak face actually showed a weird smile.

——The smile of endless evil in innocence!

"Brother Dis, keep up the good work~"

...

Boom!

Another huge roar fell.

With just one strike, the rune array outside the castle on the Golden Dis was shattered, and a chimney was broken along with it.

"Black Jack!!"

Until then, Dis's huge figure appeared on the deck, staring at the huge beast hovering in the sky, and shouted:

"You made me wait so hard!!"

"Wait?"

"Wait?"

Without waiting for Black Jack to reply, Euan and Menor on him looked at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

From this sentence alone, it is not difficult to hear that the Golden Dis had anticipated their arrival.

In other words, were they prepared?

"Did you find anything, Doctor Euan?" Menor's smile faded and he looked around.

"No."

Under Euan's spiritual power, everything on the sea within a thousand kilometers around him was clearly reflected in his mind.

"If they are not ambushed in the deep sea, then Dis has other preparations..."

"Be careful."

Menor nodded, and stepped on the huge head of Black Jack that turned into a sea snake to remind him.

"Asshole!"

Black Jack cursed, not knowing whether he was cursing Dis or the two shameless assholes on his head who used him as a mount.

Then, he changed his body shape, flapped his huge scaly wings a few times, and the wind caused the waves on the surrounding sea to roll.

"Dis, after doing that, you should know that I will not let you go!"

"Hahaha..." Dis held a huge golden hammer in his hand, and the hammer head flashed with lightning, like thunder, pointing at him and said: "Come on, don't leave!"

As soon as the voice fell, he glanced at Maxwell and signaled.

Immediately afterwards, he squatted slightly, stepped hard and stepped on the deck, leaving a deep footprint, and his figure instantly came to the air.

"Come on, Black Jack, I've wanted to fight you for a long time! Today, I'm going to make you die in the deep sea!"

Black Jack's eyes fixed, and with the help of his scaly wings, his huge body nimbly dodged the hammer, and then the long snake tail behind him swung towards Dis in the blink of an eye.

Dis did not dodge, but turned around and swung the hammer to attack, "Roar--"

Bang!

The dull sound of the collision echoed in the sky.

Under the night, dark clouds began to gather, and the red moon shone, making this sea area suddenly become like a doomsday scene.

While Black Jack and Dis were fighting, Youan flashed to the bow, stood on the figurehead, and stared coldly at the pirates on the deck.

The same thing happened to Menor, but he went to the stern.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, with a legendary and majestic aura, like two huge legions, announced to everyone on the Golden Dis:

You have been surrounded, quickly give up resistance!

"Everyone get ready!!"

Maxwell flashed to the top of the castle and commanded from the center.

But in addition to the viciousness in his eyes, there was also a hint of worry and fear.

Although he was not familiar with Menor on the rear deck, he was clear about the "plague doctor" Youan Morris on the front deck.

Remember when he just went to sea, it was the time when the name of "plague doctor" resounded throughout the Cordo Sea.

At that time, no one would not be afraid of the White Rose and the "plague doctor" Youan Morris.

In addition to the terrifying plague and spells, his cruelty and indifference made countless pirate groups tremble.

I don't know what the boss is talking about, come quickly--

"Everyone wear the latest protective masks, be careful not to get infected with the plague!"

"Open the magic circle to isolate the elements, open the protective magic circle, open the healing magic circle!"

"Lance team, prepare, shoot!"

Although he was afraid, Maxwell's mind was still clear, and a series of orders echoed in the ears of every pirate.

"Bang!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the flintlock roared.

Attacked Yuan and Menor at the same time.

"I remember you,"

Yuan dodged the attack and said coldly: "Maxwell, is it the young man who followed Dis at that time?"

Maxwell stared at him tightly and did not speak. He did not dare to relax his vigilance at this time.

"The Cordo Sea is really a magical place. Since the appearance of the "Pirate Code", countless pirates have gone crazy here..."

Yuan did not care about his silence and spoke in a low and slow tone.

However, after noticing the weakness of the surrounding elemental power, a small black cane appeared in his hand. When it struck the air, an invisible ripple was transmitted.

Then, a huge spider appeared, and its six scarlet eyes excitedly stared at the surrounding pirates.

"Hehehe... Xiao An'an, you made me wait so hard~"

"I said, don't talk, let alone call me 'Xiao An'an', six eyes are newborn!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Youan's eyes.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The huge six-eyed demon spider hissed a few times in dissatisfaction, but its tail also obediently released a huge spider web to cover the entire Golden Dis.

"Flame!"

Maxwell had read the battle report of Domitri Pruett, the 'Ripper' of the Alaniga, attacking Black Jack, and was very clear about the ability of this huge spider that could cast plague.

"Reduce the spider webs, don't pay too much attention to it, kill the 'plague doctor', it will die naturally!"

"Boom!!"

The gunmen holding the flintlock rifles strictly followed his orders, took out the incendiary bombs, lit them, and threw them on the spider web.

Accompanied by the violent explosion, the huge spider web that the six-eyed demon spider had just woven was burned with a hole.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

What they didn't know was that there was no anger in the eyes of the six-eyed demon spider, but a mocking smile.

The next second, the burning spider webs turned into dark green pus in the flames, dripping on the deck drop by drop.

Sizzle!

The moment of contact, the severe corrosion effect actually corroded the thick metal deck into large and small pits.

Some even penetrated the deck and saw the cabin inside...

"Be careful!"

Maxwell realized that something was wrong and was about to remind him, but it was too late——
