After waking up

The storm seemed to be moving with the Pirate King's fleet. With the thunder shining and the strong wind blowing, the entire fleet was moving unusually fast.

Mulan has been calculating on the Sea King ship. He is calculating the magic power consumed by the Pirate King. The seventh level has completely mastered the elements. In the era of ignorance, it can be worshiped as a god, but no matter how powerful the ability is, it has its consumption.

Maintaining a calm state on Gemstone Island may be due to the magic array, so maintaining the storm forward should be a factor of the Sea King Ship, but the magic power consumption is definitely much greater than Gemstone Island.

Even if the Pirate King's magic power can be regenerated faster than it is consumed, the use of magic power is too wantonly. Can the seventh level ignore the boundaries of magic power? Can he no longer cherish his own magic power?

As the best professor in Black Castle, Mullan certainly knew that the answer was impossible.

Even if the terrifying seventh-level magic power recovery speed is higher than the current consumption of the storm, it is still based on the fact that there is an upper limit to the magic power regeneration.

Walton's magic power is powerful but he never uses it carelessly. Mulan tastes some unusual flavors with a terrifying intuition. I'm afraid something is wrong with the Pirate King, so he is so eager to get the wish pot!

'The more a person shows himself to be strong, it is likely that he is weaker! ’

'I don't understand what you mean. ’

The elf asked his own question.

‘Human nature is very complex. Even those as strong as the Pirate King can’t escape from human nature. Sometimes they compare themselves to gods, but the weaknesses of human nature become more obvious than anyone else’s. They are more greedy and may even be weaker. ’

'weak? You mean the Pirate King? ’

'It's just possible. ’

"Rumble--"

The sound of thunder interrupted the spiritual communication between Mulan and the elf. Lightning struck from high in the sky and hit a rock in the distance, stirring up tiny sparks of lightning and illuminating the nearby sea.

Mulan was in awe, even if something went wrong with the Pirate King, it was far from what he could contend with.

The ship sailed very fast, and the lightning seemed to guide the fleet, allowing the fleet to easily avoid some relatively dangerous sea areas.

This is the tenth day after setting sail, and the storm seems to have become more violent, and even the pirate king's fleet is no longer as gentle as in the previous days.

Mullan has been standing on the boat and busy with other sailors this day. At the moment, he is reinforcing the stacked fuel tanks on the rear deck, which contain coal for burning the steam engine.

Although the big ship is powerful, it also consumes a lot of money. In addition, it is not known how long it will take to sail, so the Neptune needs to prepare sufficient fuel.

"One, two, three—one, two, three—"

The sailors pulled the rope together, then passed it through the fixed lock, and then tied it up together. Heavy rain and strong wind seemed to be coming from all directions.

Mullan and the sailors let the storm beat them.

"Rumble--"

A bolt of lightning fell in the distance and actually hit a pirate ship in the distance. It immediately broke the mast of the pirate ship. The central main sail fell along with the mast. The storm drowned out the sounds on the ship, but the crew must have been very panicked.

"Vincent—Vincent—"

Newt's voice came from not far away. He opened the hatch and looked towards the rear deck, where he saw Mulan and the sailors.

"It's time to go back to the cabin-"

Mulan immediately yelled at the sailors beside him.

"You go first, hurry in, it's too dangerous here -"

The sailors grabbed the rope and moved little by little, approached the hatch and struggled to climb inside.

Newt saw that Mulan hadn't come yet, so he stepped forward step by step. He walked on flat ground in the storm and walked to Mulan's side. He followed his line of sight and looked into the distance. It was a ship that was struck by lightning. Not only was the main sail of the ship broken, but there also seemed to be a problem with its course. The surrounding pirate ships were all trying to avoid it.

"How could this happen? With the leader here, why would the storm attack us? Is there a sea monster nearby?"

Newt shook his head.

"The sirens don't dare to show up. The reason why this is happening is because we are approaching the maelstrom."

"Maelstrom"

"Come on, go into the cabin, it's not a good idea to be on the deck in this kind of sea."

Newt grabbed Mulan's clothes on his shoulders and dragged him towards the cabin.

In the cab, the chart was spread out on the table. The Pirate King and some of his cronies were here. Mulan and Newt were dripping with water and walked in without any scruples. They were all qualified to be in the Pirate King. Do it in front of you.

Someone was pointing at the chart and talking loudly.

"In the beginning, we had an advantage on the route, but when we got close enough, we are now chasing the wish pot, and it is faster than we imagined!"

"Yes, judging from the chart, our position is almost close to the wish pot, but we still can't overlap!"

"Did you see the ship on the sea?"

"No, no one on all the pirate ships saw any ships, or we were too concentrated."

"Yes, some ships should be dispersed out!"

The Pirate King looked at Newt and Mulan who were soaked.

"Newt, what do you think?"

Newt, who is the Pirate King's brains, thought for a while and said.

"Because of the leader's power, we sailed quickly with the help of the storm, and we have already left the safe sea area we are familiar with."

"Newt, do you mean to continue hanging out?"

"Hear me out."

Newt walked over to the metal tabletop that was riveted to the hull and looked at the chart in the center.

"You can't disperse the pirate ships alone. Let the appropriate pirate leaders lead their fleets or flagships to disperse in several directions. We can't keep chasing like this. No matter what is carrying the wish pot, we have to intercept it! "

"That's right, we can't run around like this anymore. The closer we get to the maelstrom, the more strange things will happen."

Mulan also looked at the sea chart and suddenly asked.

"But if the fleet is separated, what if this unknown ship or thing keeps moving forward? Won't the people who separated will never be able to catch up?"

The Pirate King looked at the sea chart and made the final decision.

"Nido and Bronsky each lead two pirate groups and go out at an angle of 30 degrees from the left and right direction they are currently traveling. No matter what is in front, I will force it to change direction."

Mulan knew that after losing his patience for a while, the Pirate King, who was also cautious about the unknown, was about to take action.

"Follow your orders, leader!" "My hands have been itchy for a long time!"

Blonsky and Nido himself are here too.

Mulan looked at Nido, and as someone who seemed to have a relatively close relationship, he spoke.

"Chief Nido, let me go with you. My intuition is sharper."

Nido's heart moved. It is true that Vincent is different from ordinary people and cannot be treated simply as a civilized person. However, the Pirate King cares about Vincent very much, so he looked at the Pirate King.

"Go ahead, we are pirates in the storm, not those little chicks on land. Vincent may indeed be able to help you."

As for Vincent's role in the restoration of the chart, Newt hesitated and did not hide the credit, even though he knew Vincent didn't care about it. Since he had decided to treasure Vincent's future, he would try his best to help him. .

After hearing the Pirate King's permission, Mulan showed obvious excitement, and Nido also grinned. As long as he was not teaching Vincent magic knowledge, he was still very reliable as a companion.

Bransky glanced at Nido and Mulan, nodded and turned around to leave.

"Let's leave immediately!"

"I'll get the knife."

Nido and Mulan also left the hatch immediately, but Nido's hand was held by Newt. The former looked at Newt in confusion, and the latter whispered.

"I have a feeling that this time it won't be easy. We must bring Vincent back! If we encounter something uncertain, trust this kid's intuition. He may have quite a talent for destiny!"

"You are not a fate type! Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to him."

Nido joked and left the hatch.

Newt turned to look inside the cabin. The Pirate King was still staring at the chart, but he must have heard it.

On the other side, Bronsky and Nido with Mulan had arrived on the deck, and Mulan also brought the sealed sea soul with him.

There was no eye contact between the two sides. Bransky jumped first and jumped to his flagship a hundred meters away.

"This guy, why are you pretending to be cold? Let's go."

Mulan was grabbed by the waist, and then his body lost weight in an instant, passing through the storm and rain, and then landed on Nido's flagship with a "dong" sound.

Soon, lanterns were played between the pirate groups, and a fleet began to deflect.

Mulan and Nido stood together on an iron-clad flagship. Behind them was a storm with lightning and thunder, and in front of them was the sea under the sun. At least on the surface, it seemed sunny and windy.

"How will the leader change the path of the being in front?"

Nido thought for a moment and answered Mulan.

"I don't know either. All we have to do is trust the leader. I will tell you when the time comes. I can see what he senses."

Nido pointed at his head, letting Mulan understand that he had used his ability at this moment.

Mulan's heart moved and he immediately asked doubtfully.

"What about the leader? Does he know our situation?"

Nido said amusedly.

"Vincent, my magic power is incomparable to that of the leader. It gives me this perception, but the distance is too far for me."

Oh, really, then I’ll be relieved! With this in mind, Mulan also joked.

"Looks like I'll be able to surpass you soon."

"What are you talking about? Let's step into reality first and then talk!"
