Chapter 3951 The Song of the Purple Moon (2)
"Look...it's that guy, the one with the treasure map to the [Sea God's] treasure!"
"Shh...don't let [Golden] Shaq hear this...a lot of people died last night."
Early in the morning, the restaurant of the Purple Moon Inn was already filled with guests... and among the crowd, Golden Shaq and Captain Luo were walking towards the restaurant's private room.
Amidst a sea of pirates and treasure hunters, under the watchful eyes of everyone, [Gold] Shaq intimidated all with his powerful aura and fearsome reputation, walking ahead with an indifferent expression.
But in reality, Shaq was quite depressed at that moment.
I was being so careful, so why did the news of the treasure map still leak out...? It even feels like it's become common knowledge.
He even suspected that there might be a mole among his own people!
Those oddly shaped subordinates look suspicious no matter how you look at them!
[Gold] Shaq didn't get any rest last night, fighting off more than a dozen waves of malicious guys... Of course, it wasn't because he was sleepy, it was just really annoying!
He was a dignified "Great Pirate," a powerful figure aspiring to become a "Legendary Pirate." When had he ever served as a bodyguard? Especially when he thought about his "brother" spending the night with three beautiful women, this older brother felt quite uneasy.
"My dear brother, did you sleep well last night?"
“It’s quite nice.” Captain Luo smiled slightly: “This hotel is nice, the environment is quiet, I slept almost all night.”
[Gold] Shaq chuckled dryly a few times - You slept so comfortably, while I spent the whole night swatting "mosquitoes"!
The waiter served the food and then left... Under the orders of [Gold] Shaq, four [oddly shaped] subordinates were bewilderedly summoned to the door of the private room: guard the room and don't let strangers in.
Although the captain's order was reasonable, the four oddly-shaped subordinates felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
"Speaking of which, why did you choose to come by sightseeing boat this time, my dear brother?" [Gold] Shak asked abruptly. "As the captain of the [Black Pearl], you should have been allowed to sail the [Black Pearl] to [Purple Moon] by the Alliance."
Captain Luo casually remarked, "After all, we're here for the treasure. If we were sailing the Black Pearl, it would attract too much attention. Brother Shaq didn't even ride his own pirate ship, did he?"
“That’s true.” [Gold] Shak smiled calmly. “However, my situation is different from yours. My ship was severely damaged in a previous battle and is currently stuck in the repair port of [Rogge] for repairs. When it comes to treasure hunting, it’s always better to be well-prepared if possible.”
Ah Xi Ruo suddenly said, "As far as I know, the [Great Pirates] are not allowed to freely navigate their ships in the [Freedom and Wildness] Gorge, are they?"
She had been eavesdropping all night... but hadn't heard a thing. At this moment, Xi Ruo was like a barrel of dynamite, annoyed by everyone she saw, and she wouldn't tolerate this so-called "Great Pirate" who had risen so rapidly.
[Gold] Shaq said calmly, "Sister-in-law, you may not know this, but although I am only a newly promoted [Great Pirate], my [Great Pirate] status is different from that of ordinary [Legendary Pirates]... I can also use many of the privileges of a [Legendary Pirate].
...Stunned by Shaq's sudden use of the word "sister-in-law," the Divine Dragon of China was momentarily speechless, unable to utter a retort. He could only instinctively ask, "Why..."
I must say, Ah Xiruo's dazed look is actually quite cute.
[Gold] Shaq casually lit a cigar and took a puff. "Although I haven't been a [Great Pirate] for long, I've basically met all the requirements to become a [Legendary Pirate]... Currently, there's just one thing I haven't finished. Actually, at my level, I can already be considered by the Alliance as a candidate for [Legendary Pirate]... Naturally, I'll have more privileges."
"Then what conditions are you still missing?" Ah Xi Ruo had calmed down by now.
[Gold] Shaq's gaze suddenly fell on [Lo] Captain, and he said with a smile, "The last condition is to personally kill a [Legendary Pirate]."
The air seemed to freeze—at least in the eyes of [Gold] Shaq.
However, the others at the table didn't react at all after hearing this... Ah Xiruo just said "Oh" with a look of realization, and then picked up a bun and started eating.
Meanwhile, the maid was leisurely peeling fresh, boiled river shrimp, a specialty of Purple Moon, for Captain Luo.
As for Bai Zhi... well, there's no place for her to speak, so she quietly acts as a nobody. Only when everyone's eyes aren't meeting will she quickly pick up a pastry and put it in her mouth, maintaining her composure while chewing almost imperceptibly.
"Oh, is that so?" Captain [Lo] asked curiously. "However, I inherited this certificate of [Legendary Pirate] directly from Captain [Jack], and I have never killed a [Legendary Pirate]... but the Alliance Headquarters seems to recognize it. Why is that?"
[Gold] Shaq asked in surprise, "Where is my brother...? Don't you know the origin of the [Black Pearl]?"
“I have some knowledge of it, but not much at the moment.” Captain Luo shook his head.
“That’s strange.” [Gold] Shaq stared at his “brother” the whole time. “The [Black Pearl], as one of the nine [Pirate Kings]’s ships that existed before the Pirate Alliance was founded, is less a legendary pirate ship and more a testament to the legendary pirates themselves. Therefore, when you become the captain of the [Black Pearl], you naturally become a [Legendary Pirate]… This is a privilege granted to the nine [Pirate Kings] by the Alliance. You can also think of it as a special [hereditary] system. As for people like us, we can only climb the ranks step by step… In that case, brother, I really envy you!”
"Just luck." Captain Luo chuckled softly.
[Gold] Shaq said, "Brother, can you tell me... how did you inherit the Black Pearl from [Jack Sparrow]? He's one of the legendary [Nine Pirate Kings], a figure shrouded in legend!"
“It wasn’t anything special,” Captain [Lo] chuckled. “I just had something that Captain Jack wanted, so he offered to trade the [Black Pearl] for it.”
"What did you exchange it for?" [Gold] Shaq couldn't help but ask.
"We agreed beforehand that the details of the transaction needed to be kept confidential," Captain [Lo] said apologetically. "Therefore..."
“I understand the rules!” [Gold] Shaq nodded and didn’t press further. He just sipped his tea slowly, lost in thought.
...What could Jack Sparrow be willing to give up the Black Pearl in exchange for?
Just how many secrets does this "brother" still hold?
He couldn't even intuitively judge the strength of the new captain of the Black Pearl—including the three beautiful women he was with, one big and one small.
Aside from the fact that the person surnamed Long exerted some subtle, insignificant pressure on him...
Miss Long is clearly not the strongest among this group, so how much stronger are the other three than Miss Long?
[Gold] Shaq suddenly realized something, "So, my brother, you weren't a crew member on the [Black Pearl] before, and you became the new captain by overthrowing your superiors?"
“Yes.” Captain Luo smiled slightly. “My becoming the captain of the Black Pearl was actually somewhat… out of interest, I suppose? After all, I’ve never tried being a pirate before, and I wanted to experience it.”
This doesn't even sound like a lie... [Gold] Shaq was completely taken aback by Captain [Lo]'s sincerity.
[Gold] Shaq narrowed his eyes and began his frantic analysis.
He possesses a treasure that Jack Sparrow would trade the Black Pearl for, and he's always accompanied by several beautiful and capable women... especially the way the maid peels shrimp for him—she's clearly used to being waited on hand and foot!
[Gold] Shaq suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
—This "brother" is probably the young master of some big shot's family in the void, and he's out here to experience life... That's confirmed!
Thinking about it this way, could the treasure map of the Sea God be related to the schemes of some big shot?
Upon realizing this, [Gold] Shaq broke out in a cold sweat... He was indeed arrogant, but he always picked on the weak. Becoming a [Great Pirate] required even more caution as he faced numerous obstacles.
Just then, a loud bang suddenly rang out!
Immediately, a wave of heat surged from the walls of the room... Explosion!
[Gold] Shaq reacted extremely quickly. With just a flick of his wrist, a thick wall of sand instantly appeared out of thin air, completely blocking the heat wave!
"Captain, what happened?!"
"Boss, it's finally time to make our move and kill this newbie... Waaaaah—!!!"
Almost simultaneously, four oddly shaped henchmen rudely burst through the door—but before they could even speak, their mouths were sealed shut with sand.
[Gold] Shaq turned around and glared fiercely—if these guys weren't so loyal, useful, and brainless, he would have killed them long ago... but being brainless can be annoying sometimes!
"Hehe, [Gold] Shaq, you truly live up to your reputation."
Just then, from the blasted-open wall, a figure in a gray robe slowly emerged—probably dressed as Old Gan in gray robes, but with a mask covering his chin, he didn't look old.
“You’re not bad either.” [Gold] Shaq, with a cigar in his mouth, stretched out his arm and put it on the back of the chair, crossed his legs and said, “You evaded my sand surveillance and launched an attack at this distance… State your name, you can’t be some nobody.”
"Just an ordinary treasure hunter." The gray-robed man chuckled. "I heard that a treasure map for the [Sea God's] treasure has appeared here, so I came to borrow it. I will definitely return it after I have finished reading it."
[Gold] Shaq shook his head: "Looks like I didn't kill enough last night."
"Shaq, I know you are powerful..." the gray-robed man said confidently, "I just don't know if you can take on many opponents by yourself!"
[Gold] Shaq frowned slightly.
In an instant, the walls on all four sides of the private room were smashed open, and more than a dozen figures flashed in... Some were masked, while others disdained to hide and showed their faces directly. Judging from their attire, most of them were treasure hunters!
Including the initial gray-robed figure, this group completely blocked off the area.
……
"Oh...this one could be considered at least a dozen old scoundrels!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is even more outrageous, over a hundred old scoundrels!"
Even as the two sides were locked in a standoff, it didn't stop Xi Ruo from continuing to eat her steamed buns—she even moved an entire steamer of buns in front of her, muttering to herself.
Upon hearing this, [Luo]... Boss Luo couldn't help but chuckle, "So, Mr. Evil God is your reference point?"
"I'm just used to it!" Ah Xi Ruo said irritably. "Do you expect me to use something like [Radiance]? Anyway, once I'm up in the void, I don't recognize any of them. Do I need to use my toes to count them?"
Boss Luo blinked, seemingly lost in thought, and suddenly placed a piece of crystal cake on Ah Xi Ruo's plate... The maid glanced at it indifferently, but also unexpectedly poured Ah Xi Ruo a cup of tea.
Ah, Xi Ruo is at a loss again.
"What are you doing?!" Ah Xi Ruo asked suspiciously, "Who...who are you asking me to kill?!"
……
"This is the guy! The treasure map is on him!"
Amidst the encirclement of treasure hunters, a sharp voice suddenly rang out, drawing all eyes to Captain Luo and his group—and thus witnessing this scene unfold.
[Gold] Shaq couldn't help but frown. This [younger brother] was indeed the young master of some big shot's family. His judgment was correct... Could a newcomer with such composure possess this ability?
—No rush, I'll slowly, layer by layer, peel away your true colors… [Brother]!
"It's noisy!"
[Gold] Shaq suddenly picked at his ear, and in an instant, a pillar of sand shot out—it was the owner of that sharp voice!
The other party reacted quickly enough and was about to dodge, but they completely underestimated the strength of the sand!
In the blink of an eye, the owner of that sharp voice was already entangled by sand... The sand instantly transformed into a giant sand python, which coiled around the person's body and then suddenly twisted!
"Help...help me...ah—!!!"
Snap... Bang—!
Entangled by the giant sand serpent, the sharp-voiced treasure hunter's body was strangled and burst open, blood spurting out... but the sand blocked it in front of the table.
Upon seeing this, everyone instinctively took a step back!
"This is [Gold] Shaq, not some newbie! If you want the treasure map, don't even think about getting something for nothing!" the gray-robed man shouted in a deep voice. "Let's all attack together. Once we get the treasure map, everyone will get one!"
[Gold] Shaq spread his arms, and his fur coat fell off. Then, a scattered, semi-transparent yellow sand cover enveloped the dining table.
[Gold] Shaq casually twisted his neck. "I just finished breakfast and wanted to stretch my muscles a bit... My dear brother, you and your wives sit here and watch how your old brother... kills these small fry!"
……
Hear the words.
Bai Zhi immediately looked up, her eyes wide: Don't include me! QAQ!!!
……
……
Boom... Boom boom boom boom—!!
At this moment, a crazy explosion was taking place in a corner of the Purple Moon Hotel, which immediately mobilized the officers on duty at the Alliance Headquarters stationed in the hotel.
"How dare they cause trouble at the Purple Moon Inn! These treasure hunters are courting death! Today, every single one of them will be caught and killed!!"
Just as the guards on duty were all out, a figure suddenly blocked their way.
"Who goes there! Get out of the way!"
The newcomer did not speak, but slowly lifted his hat.
"You are, Xiang..."
"You may all step back and leave. Don't worry about it."
"Okay...ok!"
