We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

It didn't take long.

In the meeting hall of the [Pirate Principality].

The Four Kings, Benjamin, and several pirates who are qualified to participate in this conference have already taken their seats.

Behind them, most of them had one or two trusted henchmen, and the man in a white coat and a single-sided glasses was also among them.

However, few people were curious or weird about his arrival.

However, both the apostles of the [Pirate Principality] and the pirates from outside can feel the strangeness of this conference.

Even before it officially started, a chilling atmosphere had already spread in the hall.

The undercurrent is surging and the storm is rising.

After everyone arrived, before Moss could speak, the beautiful Feng Hou pointed to the empty seat at the top and asked first.

"Moss, where is His Majesty Augustine?"

"Since it's a pirate conference, how can our king be absent?"

Moss remained calm and said calmly: "Your Excellency has given me full responsibility for this conference. Do you have any objections to this?"

"Or are you planning to ignore his majesty and prepare to rebel since the Lord is not here?"

Speaking of the last half of the sentence, Moss was already filled with murderous intent, which made the pirates present tremble in their hearts.

Although Augustine was not present, his authority since the founding of the "Pirate Principality" has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every pirate, and has even become a lifelong shadow for many people.

Therefore, even almost all the pirates felt that Augustine had been seriously injured.

They still dare not launch a rebellion directly, let alone be the one who fires the first shot.

In response to Moss's heart-breaking questions, Fenghou no longer acted aggressively, but smiled and said: "How can I, a weak woman, dare to do such a bold thing?"

"I just care about Your Majesty."

This woman indeed has far more charm than ordinary people. Just a soft smile is enough to make a man's heart warm, making it difficult for him to feel angry towards her.

Moss naturally would not be tempted by beauty, so he snorted coldly and said.

"Now that everyone is here, I announce..."

"The 7th Pirate Conference is officially held!"

Since Augustine established the principality, pirate conferences have been held six times.

The specific content of the discussions is nothing more than the division of jurisdictional sea areas, the distribution and enshrinement of surrenders, and strategies for dealing with foreign enemies.

After all, it’s actually just for one word——

Benefit!

It's just that in the past, when it came to issues such as the size of their territory and the amount of taxes collected, the four kings themselves had a lot of quarrels and had no guts to make any demands to Augustine.

On the other hand, today, these four kings rarely showed collusion, and the first issue they raised made several apostles frown.

"First of all, I think it is necessary to discuss the ownership of the [Sunless Sea] and the distribution of the secret treasures produced by the [Sunless Sea]."

Dong Wang laughed and dropped a bombshell to everyone.

The so-called [Sunless Sea] is a very special sea area in this era.

The sky above this sea area is shrouded in a dark mysterious force all day long, blocking out the sunlight, so it is called the [Sunless Sea].

But it is precisely because of this special environment that the number and quality of secret treasures produced on the islands and under the sea surface of the [Sunless Sea] far exceed those in other sea areas.

Some rare magic potions can only be obtained in the [Sunless Sea].

It can be said that this sea area is equivalent to a natural treasure house.

Whoever occupies the [Sunless Sea] can make money while lying down!

For a long time, the specialties of the Sunless Sea have been controlled by Augustine and the Twelve Apostles.

This not only enriched the treasure house of the [Pirate Principality], but also cultivated a group of loyal secret travelers.

But King Dong raised this issue at this time, and everyone knew his sinister intentions!

On the side, King Xi also echoed: "Speaking of which, the [Sunless Sea] is located exactly at the junction of the sea areas governed by me, King Dong, and Queen Feng."

"Based on emotion and reason, we should all get a share of the property, right?"

Hearing this, Moss just frowned, but Tiffany next to him couldn't help but said coldly.

"You two are going a little too far!"

"Lord Augustine is not dead yet! Are you thinking of dividing up the inheritance of the principality?"

"Don't forget, it was Lord Augustine who led the fleet to defeat the natives of the [Sunless Sea] and killed those sea monsters."

"If you are asked to participate in the battle of [Sunless Sea], it is still unknown whether you can stand here and talk!"

Faced with Tiffany's sarcasm, Dongwang's face darkened and he was about to scold her.

Mad King Crow, who had been silent before, suddenly said: "There is no sun in the sky. In my heart, there is only one sun, His Majesty Augustine."

"As long as His Majesty Augustine speaks in person, I will obey his orders unconditionally."

All the pirates were shocked when they heard this.

They didn't expect that Crowe, who was always known as the "Crazy King", would actually say such a thing.

In the corner of the crowd, Hui Yun sneaked in and said to himself: "It seems that although this Crow is called the Mad King, he is not a real brainless fanatic."

"If Augustine really shows up, he may be the first of the four kings to defect."

"But the question is...can Augustine still come forward?"

As a trial participant participating in the promotion ritual, Hui Yun will not miss this pirate conference, whether for the purpose of improving his evaluation or completing necessary tasks.

In fact, among the pirates who entered the scene, there were not a few trialists like Hui Yun.

However, they have different roles and tasks to complete, so they are all waiting for the most appropriate time to take action.

"I just didn't expect that the tester who played John would die so easily..."

Hui Yun sighed softly and thought with some regret: "If he is still alive, he will be more confident in completing the necessary tasks of the trial."

Although Hui Yun was forced to take the [Secret Sea] oath, he had to admit that Xia En's strength was far superior to his own.

Hui Yun was a little surprised by Xia En's disappearance, but it wasn't particularly surprising.

After all, in this ritual, there are many beings that ordinary mystics cannot afford to offend, such as these four kings and the top-ranked apostles.

Maybe Xia En bumped into one of them and was unfortunately killed in the end?

Just when Hui Yun's thoughts were ups and downs.

Mad King Crow continued: "The king I surrender to is His Majesty Augustine, not you apostles."

"You want to order me, but you are not qualified!"

Tiffany's face turned pale: "You!?"

Fenghou fanned the flames with a smile and said, "That is to say, if you feel that we can't talk, then let His Majesty Augustine come forward."

"Otherwise, the ownership of [Sunless Sea] should really change."

"Now, the apostles are in a dilemma."

As a bystander, Huiyun had a clear understanding of the situation on the field.

"The four kings made it clear that they were bullying Augustine into not being able to come forward, and were using their status to suppress these apostles."

"If the apostles do not agree, this conference will not continue to be held."

"But if they agree, it will further prove that the [Pirate Principality] is weak and can be bullied and has lost the ability to protect itself."

"When the time comes, not to mention Mad King Crow, even the pirates who originally favored the principality will be completely dazzled by ambition and trigger a melee."

"As for the [Sunless Sea] itself, it's not important. It's just an excuse to stir up trouble."

It is a pity that although Huiyun can see clearly, his strength is limited after all and he cannot change the overall situation.

At this time, it was exactly what Hui Yun thought.

The pirates below were in an uproar.

"Where is His Majesty Augustine?"

"Why don't you come out to see us?"

"Is Your Majesty's injury serious? I have a healing elixir here that I can offer to Your Majesty."

Voices, either well-intentioned or ill-intentioned, kept ringing.

Seeing that the restlessness of the crowd was getting more and more intense, Moss took a deep breath and planned to go to war with the Four Kings directly.

Rather than continue to be humiliated, it is better to fight to the death in an upright manner!

If you do this, you might still have a chance of survival.

But that's it.

Benjamin, who had not had much presence since he sat down until now, suddenly spoke.

"I remember, according to the rules of your [Pirate Principality]..."

"If there are different opinions on a certain resolution, one person from each side should be sent to decide who should listen to the result of a duel."

As Benjamin spoke, the hall quickly became quiet.

The four kings looked at him with doubtful eyes.

Considering Benjamin's past achievements, his prestige is even higher than that of the Four Kings!

In fact, it was because of Benjamin's existence that the four kings did not choose to attack the apostles directly.

Although the Four Kings and Benjamin had a verbal agreement, the identities of both parties determined that it was impossible for them to cooperate in the true sense.

One is a pirate and the other is the Royal Navy.

Nature is on the opposite side.

The four kings wanted to use Benjamin's power to overthrow Augustine and usurp the throne, but they did not want to completely destroy the [Pirate Principality].

But Benjamin’s target is all pirates!

Cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

Therefore, the Four Kings have been on high alert for Benjamin's actions.

But at this time, his words made the four kings quite puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Of course they know this rule in the [Pirate Principality], and they have resolved conflicts based on this rule several times in the past.

But now, isn’t this all about breaking the skin?

What's the use of sticking to this rule?

If ordinary people said this, they would just be regarded as farts.

But he is Benjamin!

So for a while, no one dared to speak out against him.

Seeing this, Moss felt a little relieved.

Even though I don’t know why Benjamin suddenly spoke for them, if they really send someone to challenge them, the apostles may not lose!

However, the moment Moss relaxed his mind.

A fat left hand quietly poked out from behind him.

This palm has a layer of colorful color and a fishy and bitter smell.

Moss's expression suddenly changed and he shouted angrily: "How dare you!?"

His reaction was not unpleasant, but the person behind the attack had carefully prepared the attack, so how could it fail in vain?

The colorful palm directly shattered the back of the chair and landed on the back of Moss at an extremely fast speed.

laugh!

The moment the palms and back came into contact.

Moss's flesh began to dissolve and rot, quickly turning into foul-smelling pus and blood.

Not only that, the toxins contained in it are also rapidly spreading and infecting other parts of the body.

If this poison is allowed to enter his heart, Moss will definitely die!

At the critical moment, Moss acted decisively, knocked back the man behind him with a punch, and then pulled out a long knife from his waist and cut off the corrupted flesh.

The cut was so deep that one could even see the white spine behind him.

Then, a layer of ice covered the wound, preventing the poison from spreading further and also stopping the continuous flow of blood.

Even so, anyone could see that Moss had been seriously injured in this sneak attack.

"Tucker!"

Moss raised his head and looked at the man he had knocked back, almost squeezing out the name from his teeth.

In front of him was the fat Tenth Apostle, Tucker, who was as fat as a meat mountain!

"So, you are the traitor among us."

Moss's eyes were full of disappointment: "Then, did you kill Old Eleven as well?"

This weird, alchemical-like toxin directly proved Tucker's identity as the murderer.

However, in Moss's impression, Tucker had never used poison, and he was also one of the apostles who were attacked, so the apostles never doubted him.

Facing Moss's questioning, Tucker grinned, revealing a mouthful of pale teeth.

"Yes, it was me."

"That stupid thing didn't realize that I was the one who poisoned him until he died."

"But you're not much better. If you're poisoned by me, you'll die here in two hours at most, and your whole body will turn into pus."

As he spoke, Tucker looked at Benjamin not far away and said respectfully: "Lord Benjamin, I'm glad to have fulfilled your mission!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Tucker was not an apostle of the Four Kings' rebellion, but a chess piece of Benjamin!

Benjamin smiled faintly and looked at the pale Moss.

"Sir Moss, do you want to surrender?"

"If we rescue him now, maybe we can still make it."

In this desperate situation, Moss seemed to have untied some kind of restraint, and murmured: "Two hours?"

"Then please see my last glory, Sir Benjamin!"

Before he finished speaking, layers of ice and snow began to emerge with Moss as the center, and covered him with a layer of ice armor, making his bloodless face even paler.

The next moment.

Moss rushed towards Benjamin like a giant ice beast.

All these changes happened so quickly that many pirates had not reacted yet, and Moss had already fought with Benjamin.

At the same time.

Several apostles also found their opponents as planned in advance.

The only difference is that Basil's opponent has been replaced by Tucker, a traitor.

"Come on!"

Seeing this, Feng Hou smiled and cast a spell with the secret power of the wind to confront Tiffany.

The other three kings did not flinch either and directly used their secret powers to deal with the apostles who rushed up.

A melee broke out!
