Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 4 New Identity
Byron's own abilities and situation were clearly shown in the logbook, which allowed him to quickly think about his future path.

“For me now, improving my extraordinary strength is my top priority.

Two innate abilities that can be activated at any time without consuming spiritual energy.

[Cognitive Correction] Even though there is an upper limit to the correction, it is currently only effective for low-sequence extraordinary people, and it is still a first-class life-saving ability.

[Weather Intuition] is a magical skill that sailors and navigators dream of!

But if I want to escape or even seek revenge, these two talents are far from enough.

It is necessary to complete the employment as soon as possible and obtain at least one rank in the combat-type extraordinary sequence to have the initial ability to protect oneself.

By the way, activate the entry given in the log - [History Reviser].

And I happen to have a key prop that can be used for the inauguration ceremony."

Byron thought of this and raised his left hand.

But he found that the family [seal ring] that should have been worn on the index finger was missing!

However, he immediately calmed down when he found that even the sapphire buttons on the cuffs of his shirt were missing.

"I was first rescued by a merchant ship, and then captured by a group of pirates. I was dreaming to expect them to leave my property alone.

But no matter who takes them, they will eventually be gathered on this pirate ship."

After just a moment's hesitation, he made up his mind.

“First, retrieve the personal belongings looted by the pirates from the Man-eating Shark, especially the most important family seal ring.

I can only rely on this medium which has extraordinary power and symbolizes the royal power of the House of Lancaster.

Only then can we complete the inauguration ceremony of the next extraordinary career and block the York family's subsequent possible divination and pursuit."

“Take the pirate ship and leave the coast of Hattings as quickly as possible.

After that, there will be countless opportunities waiting for me, whether I go deep into the vast North Sea or go to overseas colonies.

I have the [Ship Log] to help me, and I can grow quickly as long as I keep exploring the unknown world.

It perfectly fits the present Age of Exploration, which has just started for less than a hundred years and still has countless blank spaces on the map.

Excluding the navy path that is self-defeating, other privateering captains, pirates, independent adventurers, bounty hunters... can all do it!"

Byron grabbed the carved decoration of the pirate ship's stern veranda and climbed up silently.

At the end of the diary, a line of ink was written: Although Lancaster’s hatred is temporarily hidden, there will be a day when blood and fire will be sung together.

At the same time, in the kitchen of the lower cabin of the Man-eating Shark.

A young man wearing a white chef's hat and holding a kitchen knife was standing blankly in front of the chopping board.

Listening to the screams of the merchant sailors outside the porthole, which went from high pitch to weak and then to silent, he muttered to himself with a somewhat crazy expression:
“I did nothing wrong!

The captain insisted on ridiculous chivalry and swore to defend the property of Lord Crawford, the backbone of the now-extinct Lancastrian party.

When he insisted on retrieving the victim of unknown origin who was holding the wooden board from the sea.

I told him that the eight virtues of chivalry are all jokes. On the dangerous sea, an old antique who can't adapt will not survive for long. "

"If the captain hadn't risked his life and led the stormtroopers to attack the pirate ship, I wouldn't have shot him in the back.

Legend has it that the captain of the Man-eating Shark, Salman [Blood Eyes], is cruel and ruthless, and is also a powerful supernatural being. Once you provoke him, everyone will die.

Now, at least I'm alive, and that's totally worth it!"

But when he slowly lowered his head to look at the ingredients on the chopping board, his expression gradually turned into panic:
"But I'm just an ordinary sailor and a part-time chef. Even the crude crew members on the ship complain about my cooking skills. How can I cook any exquisite aristocratic dishes?

What's more, who doesn't know that the thinnest book in the world is the cookbook of the Kingdom of Hattings?
Unless I go to the neighboring Iris Kingdom for further studies, how can I possibly satisfy that brutal Captain Blood Eyes?
The pirates told me to get ready, as they would take me to meet the ferocious Blood Eye in a while, and ask me to learn about his taste and prepare meals.

What should I do? What should I do? "

The young man paced back and forth anxiously, making the lower deck thump. It was not difficult to guess that this young man was the only chef on the Pelican merchant ship who had a chance to survive as mentioned by the first mate "Broken Bones" Miles.

But the prerequisite is that he must be able to use his experience of "serving nobles" to conquer the picky taste buds of Captain [Blood Eyes] Salman!
It's a pity that he is just a boastful fake.

He was terrified at the thought of the rumor that this pirate captain would eat living people like the "cannibals" in the story.

After looking around for a while, he found that the kitchen was empty and no pirate noticed him.

He took a kitchen knife and tentatively moved closer to the porthole.

I was just about to stick my head out to see if I could jump into the sea to escape.

However, because he was worried that the sharks that had eaten his companions might not be full yet, he quietly retracted his head.

The character of a man caught between two extremes is portrayed vividly.

Seeing the time passing by, the pirate's footsteps were heard outside the kitchen again. He finally gritted his teeth, plucked up his courage, and carefully stuck his head out.

However, a big hand as strong as an iron hoop grabbed his neck from under the porthole.

Click!

Without even a chance to beg for mercy, his neck was ruthlessly broken.

Before the chef's eyes went dark and his consciousness completely faded, he heard a calm, cold voice:

"Traitors must die!"

It was Byron, who had just climbed onto the pirate ship from the stern, who happened to hear the mumbling of the last survivor of the merchant ship.

Act decisively without hesitation.

Then he grabbed the chef's broken neck and dragged his entire upper body out of the porthole.

Seeing that he was still holding the kitchen knife tightly in his hand, Byron knew that if he had not been decisive enough, he would have been injured by now.

He reached out and grabbed the kitchen knife, and without batting an eyelid, he cut several deep bloody wounds on the chef's body, then threw the body into the sea.

He kept watching the other party disappear without a trace in the mouths of the swarming man-eating sharks.

Then he turned over, crawled through the porthole and came to the kitchen.

He picked up the chef's hat that the other person had dropped when he was struggling, flicked the dust off it, and put it on his own head.

As he turned around, a blue light like the sea shone from his deep eyes, and Byron's temperament changed drastically between breaths.

It is his talent [Cognitive Correction].

"I think in the current usage scenario, it is more appropriate to call it [psychological disguise]."

He looked at his hands. Although his appearance had not changed, the image, name, and temperament of the chef... all the characteristics were modified into him.

In the eyes of everyone who saw him, he was just the cook, and Byron himself completely disappeared from this world.

Just like a person who is born red and green color blind, he cannot realize that he is color blind until someone tells him.

“Although this status is not high, and it is not as high as the pirate officers such as the first mate, second mate, helmsman, and gunnery officer on the ship, but I am a newcomer like me.

There is no memory of communicating with pirates, and there is no need to inherit the original interpersonal relationships.

I am the best candidate to join the Man-eating Shark and take a ride on it."

Bang!
Just then the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a pirate who looked very young walked in.

When he saw the figure wearing a chef's hat, he was slightly stunned, and then he greeted him very naturally:
"New chef, the great Captain Blood Eye is waiting for you, follow me quickly.

By the way, I haven’t asked you what your name is yet?”

The latter straightened his clothes and gave the young pirate a friendly smile:
"Byron, my name is Byron Tudor."
