Chapter 147: Share the witch
Chapter 147: Share the witch
Under Du Ge's divination, Barry's fate was naturally good.
The scene was of him standing at the bow of the ship, with a vast pirate ship behind him, clearly the configuration of the deputy to the Pirate King.
So.
Barry's dissatisfaction with Du Ge disappeared without a trace, leaving only a firm determination in his heart.
He would fight for a better future.
After Du Ge finished the divination, Vito also took the crystal ball and, imitating Du Ge, solemnly recited the spell.
As a result, nothing happened.
Seeing Vito's disappointment, Marsha smiled and took the crystal ball from his leg. "Vito, although you recited the spell correctly, you obviously don't have any magic power. Paul was an exception. Not everyone can be a witch."
No.
Not everyone can be a witch.He just mispronounced three syllables and made four wrong movements...
Not correcting Vito, the little witch clearly had her own thoughts. She had to ensure her own status and couldn't allow everyone to use her crystal ball for divination.
Du Ge didn't expose Marsha Hoya, because he also didn't want other candidates to be able to use the crystal ball for divination. It wouldn't be fun if his secret was revealed.
...
On the shore.
Seven or eight pirate ships started up and followed the small sailboat from a distance.
The chaos on Herd Island grew, with more people rushing down from the city and hastily boarding the pirate ships.
The news of the witch being kidnapped finally spread.
The pirates didn't hesitate to go to Herd Island despite the naval blockade, all for the clue to the Trident of the Sea God. If the witch was kidnapped, what was the point of the risks they were taking?
For the Trident of the Sea God, they had to pursue the person who kidnapped the witch.
...
"Paul, your future is destined to be entangled with the Trident of the Sea God. Do you have a way to solve the current dilemma?" Marsha looked back at the approaching pirate group. "The navy has blocked the route to Herd Island, and we can't break out. And you kidnapped me, offended Mahamadu and Safla, as well as countless pirates. It's impossible to return to Herd Island for supplies..."
He also offended the Dufi family and Rear Admiral Mikaro, with a bounty of 80,000 gold coins on his head, not to mention Selma, whom you don't know about...
Barry silently added in his mind.
By kidnapping the witch and cutting off the main line, he was making enemies of more than five hundred candidates in the simulation field. Those people were the biggest unstable factor!
Vito sighed.
If the future divination was true, he couldn't imagine how Du Ge would break the situation and snatch the Trident of the Sea God from everyone's hands.
Putting himself in Du Ge's position, even if he had the keyword for chaos, he would be helpless.
"What dilemma?" Du Ge looked at the three of them strangely. "Aren't most of the pirates looking for the Trident of the Sea God? We just need to tell them the clues. As for Mahamadu and Safla, they are not on the same page. And Rear Admiral Antonio is blocking the route. How come, when we got here, everyone seems to want to unite against me. What are you thinking?"
"You want to make the clues to find the Trident of the Sea God public?" Marsha was stunned.
"Of course, do we have to personally search for the Map of Fate? Mahamadu and your efficiency is too slow." Du Ge laughed. "We are the angels of spreading joy, of course we can't keep the secret of the treasure to ourselves..."
"Mahamadu will definitely hate you for this," Marsha sighed.
"If he wants to come and kill me, he has to break through Antonio's defense line." Du Ge said. "By that time, I may have grown to a point where he can't compete with me."
After awakening the second skill of slacking off, Du Ge had no scruples. Since he had stirred up the waters, he would become the biggest beneficiary. So, he wanted to stir up the waters even more!
...
Forty minutes later.
Du Ge returned to his fleet.
The people on the ship, including Vane, saw the seven or eight pirate ships closely following Du Ge's group, and they were all dumbfounded and had a headache. How much time had passed since then? Their boss had been causing trouble at an increasingly faster pace ever since he gained immortality.
They didn't have time to ask Du Ge what had happened.
All the sailors immediately got to work, loading ammunition, adjusting the masts, and preparing to break out of the encirclement before the pirate ships surrounded them.
The sailors had rich combat experience. They only had five ships, and once they were blocked by eight ships, there would be no hope of survival once the subsequent ships from Herd Island arrived.
"Focus on the battle," Du Ge pulled the witch to the front of the naval dance troupe. "Do you see her outfit? Find a few people with a similar figure to hers, dress them in black robes, cover their faces, and have them stand on the deck of each ship. The rest of the people can continue to dance. The dance troupe doesn't need to worry about the battle."
"... " Vane and the others were all stunned.
"Witch, witch," the parrot Wendy flapped its wings, pointing out Marsha's identity.
The faces of everyone on the ship changed. They looked at the black-robed, masked Marsha and finally realized what their captain had done.
This was just asking for death to come faster!
"What are you afraid of? Hoya the witch has already divined my fate. I am the future Pirate King." Du Ge looked around at everyone and said loudly, "Do you know what this means? It means that no matter how great the danger we face, we will turn the tables and survive. The soul of the Sea God will protect us, because only I can hand over the Trident of the Sea God to his daughter. Hoya, tell them, is it true?"
I clearly said that the future can be changed!
Hoya sighed deeply, but at this moment, she also knew that she couldn't dampen the morale of the sailors. She had to step forward and raise the crystal ball in her hand, hoarsely saying, "Paul is right. The fate of the future shows that he did indeed pick up the Trident of the Sea God."
A commotion arose.
Everyone's gaze toward Du Ge changed. The witch had a hundred years of fame, so what she said naturally couldn't be wrong.If Paul only possessed immortality, it wouldn't be worth risking their lives for his recklessness, but the title of Pirate King was different—it signified overwhelming power and endless wealth.
Of course.
There was also the Feather of the Sea God...
Then all their sacrifices would be worthwhile.
"So, let's get moving!" Du Ge raised his arm and shouted, "Once I become the Pirate King, you will be the invincible Sea Fish Legion. All pirates who see you will keep their distance, and all navies who encounter you will flee in terror. Let us strive together for a bright and glorious future. Pirate King, Pirate King..."
"Pirate King!"
"Pirate King!"
"Pirate King!"
The crowd echoed the chant.
The morale of the Sea Fish Pirate Crew was higher than ever before.
At this moment.
Even the pink pirate flag seemed to be filled with a murderous aura.
The Royal Navy's dance troupe, dressed in pink skirts, no longer felt that dancing was a disgrace...
Vito was dumbfounded.
...
"Paul Wals, he's the one who abducted the witch? This madman, does he think his bounty isn't high enough?"
On a pirate ship, a pirate captain peered through his telescope at the pink smiling skull flag, confirming Du Ge's identity, and frowned.
The first mate put down his telescope and scoffed, "Captain, I don't think he's worried about his bounty being too low. Rumor has it, he made a deal with Selma and gained tremendous power. Everyone who deals with Selma ends up losing their mind..."
...
"What's his keyword? Madness?" On another pirate ship, the chef came out of the kitchen, gazing at Du Ge's flag and muttered under his breath, "Damn captain, I wasn't ready to face him yet. How could he let me confront this lunatic so soon? I hope he doesn't go on a killing spree!"
...
"I don't care what your keyword is, today you must die."
The gingerbread vendor stood at the bow, his eyes filled with malice. He took a big swig of rum, gulped a few times, then spat it into the sea.
Chasing all this way, he had gone through five bottles of rum and still felt a taste in his mouth, which was the greatest humiliation since he entered the Simulation Field.
He directed all his misfortunes at Du Ge.
If it weren't for him abducting the witch, how could he have ended up chewing on such disgusting stuff!
Although furious, the gingerbread vendor remained rational.
After all.
He wasn't clear on what Du Ge's keyword was.
Paul had caused such a commotion by abducting the witch, his ranking might even be ahead of his own.
It was best to be cautious.
Taking another swig of rum and spitting it out, the gingerbread vendor turned back to the captain standing behind him and ordered, "Captain, once we're within range, fire the cannons. Target the four ships on the side first, then take out the dance troupe on his deck..."
"Should we really open fire?" The captain hesitated, putting down his telescope and said hesitantly, "He's placed several witches on each ship, and there's a line written on the sails, 'Abandon hatred, we can share the witch'..."
