Pirate Kingship

Although their Pioneer Navigation Colonial Company was tasked with opening roads during the day, they did not need to continue their night watch at night.

Hearing the unusual noise, Byron rushed to the place of the accident as soon as possible.

His life must always be in his own hands before he can rest assured. It has never been his character to wait passively.

The two pirate generals [Hook] and [Slitthroat] who are responsible for leading the team tonight have all arrived in advance.

They each led a large group of elite pirates, surrounding a pirate corpse in the middle that was uniformly dressed with the others, and their faces were all very ugly.

"Have everyone from the patrol come here to identify him? Who is this dead brother?"

The two pirate generals each asked their men several times, but they only saw everyone shaking their heads, and no one could recognize his identity.

Byron casually separated from the patrol group and walked to the inner circle. The moment he saw the body on the ground, he was suddenly startled.

The body in a canvas jungle suit was lying on its back, obviously that of a patrol.

He still held his musket firmly in his hand, and his finger was already on the trigger, but he couldn't even trigger the warning.

It seems that he died from a sudden attack.

Apart from being stained with mud, his body was almost unscathed. The only thing missing was his face!

It was as if countless tiny barbs had ripped off all the skin and flesh in one go.

The remaining white bones and wide-open eyes look particularly scary.

"Report Captain, there is no one missing from our patrol."

"Captain, so are we. And everyone can clearly say their name and their position on the ship.

Could it be that someone from the camp escaped, right? "

They even tried the stupid method of calling everyone by name, but they just couldn't find out who was missing.

But it is unlikely that they are people from the camp.

The people who come here are all elites, and they know the consequences of running around at night. Besides, there are three third-level extraordinary beings stationed here, so it is not so easy to break through the checkpoints one after another.

"We don't have any shortage of people? So, couldn't this extra one grow out of the ground?!"

[Crooked Hook] couldn't help roaring, and a group of pirates couldn't help but remain silent.

He is the most typical second-level lighthouse sequence [pirate].

Wearing a worn triangular captain's hat, a long scar passed through his right eye and disappeared under a black eyepatch.

Unlike other people who wear eye patches to block light and make it easier to change their field of vision, he is really blind!

Not only that, his left hand was also severed at the wrist and replaced by a gleaming iron hook.

The medical conditions on the ship are limited, and the ship's doctor is best at amputations. After a fierce battle, pirates with missing arms and legs abound.

[Hook] If he hadn't been a dignified second-level transcendent, his pirate career would have ended long ago.

The pirate general did not possess any forbidden knowledge and had no reliable means of repair, so he was naturally particularly interested in the rewards from the Bloodthirsty Order.

Moreover, this person understands the rapid value-added of the industry.

Instead of relying on robbery to snowball like Byron, he immediately borrowed large loans from several Remite banks and trading companies.

As soon as they arrived at the Bantaan Islands, they waved their "Private License" and gold pounds to recruit troops.

Regardless of personal strength, the force under his command has undoubtedly become the largest among the seven pirate generals at present.

This time alone, more than 400 marines landed, and the total number of pirate ships under their command was ten.

And everything he did was to use the power of the Bloodthirsty Order to regain his integrity as a complete man, even an immortal and complete man!

This section happened to be his defense area. Seeing the two most powerful competitors, [Slitthroat] and [Sea Hunter], all approaching, he couldn't help but become more and more irritated.

Anyone who has done accounting knows that it is not a big problem if the book is missing 10,000 or 100,000, and the documents will always match up in the end.

But if suddenly there is an extra dime, then everyone will go crazy.

In such an evil place, suddenly there is one more person, and the effect is even worse.

At this time, [Hook] raised his hand and pulled off the eyepatch on his right eye, revealing an eye like a transparent glass ball.

No, that's an artificial glass bead - [Strange Object·Crystal Eye].

Effect: Improves spiritual vision and discovers treasures, but it is also easy to see things that should not be seen, and it is easy to go crazy.

【Hook】Spirituality surged in his body, he opened his spiritual vision, and looked at everyone around him one by one with this artificial eye.

A glass eyeball seemed to be alive, spinning around, and after a few breaths, it suddenly settled on a certain person in the team.

“I knew that at night in this land, there would be evil spirits and weird things coming out.

Die! "

After successfully locking the target, [Hook] smiled ferociously, took out a handful of "holy salt" bought from the church from his pocket and scattered it.

Pirates, a group that never pays attention to martial ethics and chivalry, have a somewhat consistent starting style.

"Holy water" and "holy salt" are similar to concentrated sulfuric acid and lime powder for those evil things.

The only difference is that it’s expensive!

Especially when [Hook] has already emptied the family fortune, you must be extremely careful during the battle.

Zila

The other people affected were fine, but the main target had a burst of smoke rising from his body, and he staggered back a few steps.

At this moment, the other pirates who had distanced themselves from him at the first moment seemed to have just woken up from a dream and exclaimed:

"What happened just now? How come I seemed to have completely forgotten about the person? The body was clearly Jack who usually sleeps next to me!"

"Yes, it was Jack. I would recognize him even if I didn't see his face.

The tattoo on his arm was tattooed by me personally. I just pretended not to see it. It's too weird."

"What is this? An evil spirit?"

Looking at the smoking figure again, it was no longer anyone they knew.

Instead, it turned into a native wearing a black feather crown, a black feather coat, a highly corrupted skin, and a skull mask on his face.

Looking at this outfit, it is obviously an Azk shaman.

To be more precise, it is a former shaman. Since it reacts to the holy salt, it means that it has long been corrupted.

The bloody face that Pirate Jack threw away was now attached to its mask.

This thing just stood beside everyone, but it easily confused their cognition.

Not only did he regard it as a companion, he also completely forgot about his real companion.

"Roar——!"

The furious [Hook] shouted loudly, shouting out the pirate's sequence motto:

"Force is better than hard work!"

The visible blood-colored spiritual glow burst out, and a translucent blood-colored pirate flag unfolded above his head.

The emblem above is a combination of an iron hook and a skull, which is the pirate flag representing the hook.

But he immediately activated the pirate's second-level core ability [Pirate Battle Flag]:

"It can concentrate the spirituality of the pirates under the same pirate ten commandments and under his command.

The more strictly the crew abides by the ten commandments, the more tacitly they cooperate, the stronger their own strength, and the stronger the increase the captain will eventually get.

The upper limit at the second level is ten people, and the upper limit at the third level will increase to one hundred people."

The blood-colored battle flag fluttered in the wind, shedding a piece of red spiritual light, covering the ten elite pirates following him, connecting them together.

"Kill!"

The eleven people shouted in unison, as if they were a whole, but with the tragic momentum of thousands of troops.

They drew out their scimitars, formed a charging triangle formation, and crushed the thing whose exact nature was not yet clear.

[Hook] The power under his feet burst out, and he took the lead.

The Fisher sword in his right hand and the hook in his left hand cooperated, and he cut the opponent into three pieces in just one round.

The seemingly evil shaman wizard seemed to have no power to fight back in front of a second-level extraordinary person.

However, Byron, who originally thought that the overall situation was settled, saw a new line of records appearing on the [Ship Log] after he stepped within six meters of the opponent.

"[Cursed Item·Shaman Mask]:

The history of masks is almost as long as human civilization. They are totems, beliefs, and magical powers.

They have four abilities: a symbol of gods, a medium for communication, a barrier to conceal oneself, and a soul-protecting armor.

Each shaman has his own god. As a symbol of the gods, the shaman mask represents the ancestral god of the clan or family.

When they wear masks during rituals, it is the time when people and gods communicate and become one.

This skull mask symbolizes Apuche, the god of death of the Azk people, and became a [cursed item] in a tragedy involving the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

If you don't know how to use it correctly, it will wander around and kill people according to certain rules.

If you kill a living person and peel off his face, you can completely replace his identity.

If you are killed by someone else, the murderer's body will become the new carrier of the mask.

Note that the shaman mask is the body of the evil spirit!"

Byron didn't think about the familiar sense of déjà vu that seemed to be on this thing, but immediately issued a warning to the [Hook].

"Be careful, don't touch the mask!"

However, [Hook], who also saw the extraordinary aura with his crystal eyes, thought that Byron was spying on his trophy.

He paused for a moment and continued to approach the corpse.

In an instant, the mask suddenly flashed away, and when it reappeared, it was firmly on his face.
