"Ghost Ship! Blackbeard!"
Major General Jackson's pupils shrank.
He had been prepared for Fang Yuan's appearance, but when he saw the ghost ship moored quietly on the sea under the moonlight, with a bit of illusion, and Blackbeard who was traveling with Fang Yuan, he still couldn't help but exclaimed.
Even though I have heard many rumors about ghost ships, in the eyes of the major general, these are still some unreliable legends.
At most, he has some extraordinary power, can control some undead, and scare ordinary crew members half to death.
Only then, when he saw the sailboat that seemed to come from the underworld and the coldness that penetrated his soul, did he know that those bloody legends were no joke!
Moreover, Blackbeard, who traveled with Fang Yuan, was the pirate governor of the Nightmare Sea. Although he had lost power, his reputation was still as powerful as ever.
No matter what, he couldn't figure out how the Purgatory Pirates could recruit this pirate governor with the current strength of the Purgatory Pirates.
"my daughter!"
Viscount Kuiya was about to shed tears at this time: "I agree to all your conditions, please return my treasure to me!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands repeatedly and asked his sailors to carry a simple box.
"Jips!"
Fang Yuan nodded and asked Gips to step forward and open the wooden box with a creak, revealing layers of thick leather inside.
The moment the box was opened, the sound of waves seemed to ring in Fang Yuan's ears, letting him know that what the viscount opposite gave him was genuine.
At this time, in his eyes, the other party was nothing more than a panicked father.
"Well... I have too high a view on Insman's ability to govern the aristocracy at this time... "
Fang Yuan smiled to himself and turned his attention to Mr. Gipps again.
At this time, the old man was stroking the leather as if stroking his lover's skin, his eyes were shining and he couldn't put it down.
"I can guarantee...this is the real Poseidon Skin!"
After a while, Mr. Gipps reluctantly put down the material in his hand and spoke in a positive voice.
"Most of the materials were used to build the Poseidon, but the leftover scraps are still so big. Could it be that the former Poseidon was actually a sea giant?"
Fang Yuan had some time to think, but Viscount Kuiya across from him thought that the kidnappers were not satisfied with the ransom, so he clapped his hands and asked his servants to deliver several heavy boxes.
After opening it, it was filled with jewels and jewels.
"Haha... Mr. Governor, you are too polite!"
Fang Yuan smiled dumbly, but since the benefits were freely given, there was no need to hesitate and he accepted them directly: "Actually... apart from the Poseidon's Skin, we only have one trivial request... that is to pass through the Solomon Strait... "
"no problem!"
Viscount Kuiya nodded quickly.
"A pleasant answer, she is yours!"
Fang Yuan gave a gentle push with his right hand, and Elizabeth took a few steps forward involuntarily, and was held in the arms of Viscount Kuiya.
"Father… "
At this time, the female captive finally couldn't bear it anymore and started sobbing softly.
"Protect the Governor!"
Rear Admiral Jackson sent a signal, and a row of marines came forward to protect the governor and his daughter in the back row, and then walked to the front: "Roach, the leader of the Purgatory Pirates? You passed the Solomon Strait, do you want to go east?"
"This doesn't seem to have much to do with you?"
"As the top military commander of the Solomon Strait, how can you have nothing to do with me?" Jackson smiled coldly: "As long as I order the fort to fire, even the ghost ship will become a target when it crosses!"
"Mr. Governor, what do you think?"
Fang Yuan looked at Viscount Kuiya.
"Although I promised you, what Jackson said makes sense... I can't directly give orders to the soldiers every month!" Viscount Quia's eyes flashed, and he turned back into the old fox.
"Really? That's such a pity!" Fang Yuan shrugged: "It seems... we can only meet again at Miss Elizabeth's funeral!"
"What do you mean?"
Viscount Quaia and Major General Jackson took a few steps back cautiously.
In the darkness in the distance, several flames rose, very conspicuous in the dark night.
That's the flame that comes out of a steam chimney when it's in operation!
This rear admiral had already brought the fleet around to form an encirclement!
"We have no intention of fighting the Insman Royal Navy... Lord Viscount, you might as well take a look at your lovely daughter's neck, um... How should I put it, before letting her go, our people added a small insurance on it without authorization !”
Fang Yuan said softly.
"What?"
Viscount Quaia eagerly opened Elizabeth's collar and immediately saw a circle of green around her neck, like the roots of a plant, spreading along the blood vessels to form a collar.
"What's this?"
Jackson's face darkened.
"Introduction, this is voodoo. It comes from Ms. Cassenia, who is under my command. She is a witch... The voodoo she concocted only requires a little bit of the size of a fingernail, which can kill people within ten seconds. Poisoning an adult mammoth to death... Let me add that for all witches' voodoo, only they themselves know the formula. Even if you find another witch, there is absolutely no antidote!"
Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay! Major General Jackson, order your people to go back!"
Viscount Quia suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jackson's shoulders.
"As you command!"
Only then did Major General Jackson realize that he seemed to have slighted the Governor-General.
Hidden under the mask of a loving father and a qualified bureaucrat, he has another face.
"I understand... I will give you the right of passage through the Solomon Strait, in the name of the Queen!"
Viscount Quia said sternly: "But... only this time!!!"
"make a deal!"
Fang Yuan nodded: "We will clear the customs tomorrow. You can send a ship to follow us. Before leaving, I will hand over the antidote! Happy cooperation!"
"snort!"
Viscount Quia snorted coldly, took off his coat, put it on Elizabeth, and slowly left surrounded by a group of marines.
"grown ups?!"
At this time, the witch Cassenia stepped forward: "With my level, I have not yet reached the point where I can concoct unique voodoo..."
"So the green on Elizabeth's neck is just a ring of paint that is difficult to wash off!" Fang Yuan shrugged: "But as long as Viscount Quia doesn't know about it... Moreover, we have also investigated and found that there is currently no one in Solomon. A witch, even one night can't make them find another one to break this lie, can they?"
"You are such a cunning villain!"
Blackbeard witnessed all this and couldn't help but draw a conclusion.
"I take that as a compliment, Mr. Blackbeard!"
…
The next day, noon.
The citizens of Solomon Colony suddenly saw a strange scene.
The two pirate ships, "escorted" by ten steam ironclads and more style battleships, passed through the Solomon Strait smoothly.
This scene immediately attracted countless exclamations.
Even a pirate prince has to disguise his ships as ordinary merchant ships in order to pass here, and the tax he has to pay must not be less than a penny.
Otherwise, we can only fight through forcefully.
But those layers of forts and solid fortifications will definitely make the pirates lose a few teeth.
Otherwise, you can only take the long way around.
However, this approach is very uneconomical and fraught with dangers.
In the unknown routes, various natural disasters and sea monsters emerge one after another, and merchant ships sail only once out of ten. Therefore, even merchant ships with pirate governors as backers can only do business honestly in the Solomon Strait.
Fortunately, Insman did not dare to show off his face too much, and generally checked that there was nothing too prohibited, so he let it go.
Even the taxes collected did not dare to be excessive.
Firstly, the water will flow slowly. Secondly, the pirates are not easy to mess with. Not to mention the possibility of forced attack if they are pressed, there are also many important supply points controlled by pirates along the golden route, such as the Pirate King's City. If you go too far, the other party can make up for it elsewhere, and no one will benefit.
But today, it was the first time that two large ships flying pirate flags pretended to sail through the Solomon Strait. And this was just after Insman's brilliant victory.
Suddenly, countless disguised pirates blew whistles, and the name of the Purgatory Pirates Group was finally established in the Golden Sea.
…
"We've been waiting for that ocean current!"
On the deck, Fang Yuan stared at the treasure map in his hand.
As an extraordinary item, the lines on the map are also very strange, changing all the time.
"The navy is all gone?"
From behind, Blackbeard came up and asked calmly.
"Well, if you give me a candy as an antidote, what can they do?"
In fact, even though the hostages were released, poor Miss Elizabeth was still a sharp weapon in Fang Yuan's hands because of a lie.
"After passing the Solomon Strait, Insman's power will plummet... and we can reach the Pirate King's City safely..."
Blackbeard looked at the sea, his voice a little uneasy.
"After fulfilling that agreement, I will naturally let you go, but... are you really not interested at all? Regarding the treasure of the Solo Pirates?"
Fang Yuan had a playful expression on his face: "After all, in their collection, there is probably that legendary ship - the Sun!"
There are three levels of extraordinary ships.
Even Blackbeard's previous ship, the Monster, was still a little short of being called the top legendary ship.
But the reputation of the Sun is just like the Poseidon, the Throne, and the Ghost Ship, and it is a true legend!
It is said that the ship uses the magical technology of an unknown civilization and has inexhaustible energy. Making clean water is just a piece of cake. The most terrifying thing is that it uses a core energy-concentrating furnace. The attack launched!
That is said to have the greatest single-body attack power among all legendary ships!
