Chapter 22: The Red Skull Pirate Crew A Beyonder was allowed to leave the fleet? Without Danitz needing to explain further, Klein easily understood why he found it strange. In a Nighthawks team, even purely clerical personnel were subject to strict restrictions. Normal resignation required signing a lifelong confidentiality agreement. Without approval, one could not leave the jurisdiction of the Nighthawks team to which one originally belonged. After receiving permission to relocate to another…-

Chapter 21: Hostage Upon discovering that a pirate worth three thousand pounds had boarded in disguise, Klein immediately became somewhat vigilant. With a smile, he said to Donna and Denton beside him, “A friend.” Outwardly calm, he stepped forward and walked toward the fourth boatswain of Vice Admiral Iceberg, his gaze locked firmly on the other man. Blazing Danitz, whose smile had already stiffened, watched the young adventurer with mad blood flowing beneath his skin slowly approach. A…

Chapter 20: Scenes from Azik’s Memories Snap! Klein reached out and happened to catch the slightly heavy letter. The enormous skeletal messenger did not linger. It directly disintegrated like a fountain, bone after bone falling into the deck and vanishing, as though it did not wish to stay there for even one more second. Holding the letter steady, Klein did not immediately lower his head to examine it. Following his spiritual intuition, he instinctively turned and looked toward the wooden…

Chapter 19: Bait After sending the telegram and tidying the desk, White Shark Hamilton finally relaxed. He now had the mood and capacity to think through the details of what had just happened. The first question that sprang into his mind was: “What about the guards outside?” He propped himself up with both hands and abruptly stood. With heavy steps, he strode to the door and pulled it open, only to discover several of his subordinates standing there crookedly, laughing over jokes about…

Chapter 18: Interrogating White Shark Thud! The bartender fell to the ground, curling into a ball and rolling from the pain. White Shark Hamilton gave a heavy snort. Without saying a word, he turned and walked toward the second floor, making the wooden stairs creak beneath his feet. With the spectacle over, the drunkards scattered one after another. Captain Elland and the others returned upstairs unaffected, continuing their card game. Klein seized the opportunity and followed up the…

Chapter 17: Recruitment Ding! The gold coin sprang up softly, tumbled through the air, and landed steadily in Klein’s palm. Lowering his head to glance at whether the result was heads or tails, Klein pivoted on his heel and smoothly turned into a secluded, shadowed alley. The wind by the sea was cold and fierce. Within this terrain, it produced crosscurrents, causing his woolen coat to billow backward of its own accord and nearly blowing off his half top hat of silk. Suddenly, Klein…

Chapter 16: Persona One of the burly men confronting each other wore a blue-and-white striped shirt unique to the navy, yet his arms remained bare in weather that was close to freezing. He held a dagger against the throat of the man opposite him, but his own forehead was being aimed at by an ancient hand cannon old enough to belong in a museum. The owner of the hand cannon was likewise over 1.8 meters tall, with firm muscles and an oily sheen on his face. He had shaved his head, tattooed a sea…

Chapter 15: The Bounty Wall By the time the treasure legends that had inspired generations of adventurers to set sail had been told, the chef had finished roasting the meat from the murloc’s belly. The flesh was cooked to an opaque white, with a few charred edges. It was covered in tiny brown specks and gleamed with moist oil. The seasoning that had been brushed on again and again had seeped into the texture of the meat, giving it an enticing appearance. “Desi-style grilled fish. It is…

Chapter 14: The Sea One Longs For “The Fountain of Youth? If you drink from it, can you really stay young forever?” Donna widened her eyes and asked with curiosity. She did not have much anticipation, because she herself was still young enough. Elland did not immediately answer. He forked a slice of fried meat from the murloc’s side ribs, tore it apart with two bites, swallowed it, and then sipped a little Sonia Blood Wine. “The sweet and smooth taste completely washes away the…

Chapter 13: Legends of Treasure On the deck, an extra layer of asbestos had been placed beneath the grill to prevent sparks from the coal from being blown loose by the wind and scorching the wooden boards. The plump chef wore an apron and a white high hat invented by Roselle. With a fine-bristled brush, he continuously coated the long strips of pale, tender fish meat with a secret seasoning mixed from basil, fennel, sea salt, pepper, lemon juice, and other ingredients. From time to time, he flipped…
