Chapter 241: Pirate King
On the other side.
After Elizabeth left Karoso, she went to the ballroom to put on makeup.
Her face was heavily made up, returning to the way Karoso first saw her.
When the magic disappeared, she and Saaya felt it at the same time.
However, she didn’t think much of it; this was her father’s ship, what trouble could happen?
While she hated her father, she also believed in his abilities.
Elizabeth looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"When… did I get an eye patch?" Elizabeth touched her left eye.
She lifted the eye mask, and her eyes were still there.
In a daze, she noticed that her clothes had changed.
She was wearing a torn pirate outfit, with a scarf on her head, but her boots looked somewhat clean.
And her once beautiful makeup now looked dirty.
"Hey, hey, hey?" Elizabeth suddenly panicked.
What’s happening here?
Although she admired sailors and dreamed of a pirate’s life, that didn’t mean she could suddenly accept being a pirate!
Besides, this change to becoming a pirate was way too fast!
In her eyes, the scene around her changed quickly; the grand makeup room had turned into a dimly lit room.
The mirror was still there, but it was very blurry, covered in scratches, and there were only a few makeup items left on the table.
"Is this… did I accidentally enter a dungeon?" With Elizabeth’s knowledge, this was the only possibility she could think of.
Bang!
Just then, the old wooden door of the room was kicked open.
"Elizabeth, it’s time to work!" said a fierce-looking bald pirate. "Don’t forget today’s big event."
Elizabeth’s face turned pale.
Is this still a role-playing dungeon? I’ve never participated in one!
……
Karoso stared blankly, and he was no longer on the previous ship.
Looking at the strange ship, even with Karoso’s knowledge, he felt a bit confused.
If it weren’t for the bullet comment reminding him, he would have thought he mysteriously entered another dungeon.
"Where is this…?" Karoso looked around; he was in a shabby room.
Although it was shabby, this room seemed quite luxurious.
Karoso had learned a lot of different things and read many historical documents.
This room was like a luxurious cabin on an old wooden ship.
Bang!
Just then, the door flew open, and a guy who looked about eighty percent like Saaya stood in the doorway, grinning and saying, "Brother, the captain wants to see you."
Karoso looked at his clothes; he was still wearing the same outfit as before, with no changes.
"Hmm." Karoso took a deep breath.
Since we are here, let’s see what is going on.
No matter what happens, we can only adapt.
[What on earth has Master Karoso triggered?]
[Why does this seem a bit like Elizabeth’s storyline?]
[It doesn’t just seem like it; it is Elizabeth’s storyline. The cabin looks the same.]
It is clear that sometimes this game can have two storylines, just like Chapter 8 of Arknights, which has a separate storyline for Talulah.
This five-star card of Elizabeth also gets the same treatment.
[Wow, there isn’t much plot for Elizabeth; most of it is for the main ship.]
[How can we help now that we are here?]
[Any help is good, Elizabeth’s connection is speeding up!]
[Don’t be afraid, Honey Karoso. You didn’t enter a dungeon; like Elizabeth, you were transported to the Black Pearl.]
[If she can survive, so can you.]
[This is the ship of the Pirate King.]
[Since there is only one thief, Elizabeth, on the ship, she was brought here.]
[If only Minaret were here, if she were brought over, who could hurt my Honey Karoso?]
Clearly, this power is strong, but it still lacks a bit to transport Minaret.
Soon, Karoso was taken to the deck.
"Are you here?"
A person sat on a chair, quietly looking into the distance.
Karoso walked in front of the person and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
[What?]
[This is not magic!]
[What on earth?]
Before him stood a person dressed in a dirty pirate outfit, very strong, wearing a famous captain’s hat, with a hook for a left hand, and an eye patch over one eye.
He held a compass in his hand, and a parrot was perched on his shoulder.
When the parrot saw Karoso, it squawked loudly, "Hello, young master! Hello, young master!"
Karoso silently looked at the pirate in front of him.
This man… looks exactly like Grand Duke Osiris; the duke has a missing left arm, and he is missing a left hand.
The duke has good eyes, but he is blind in one eye.
Also, he looks much messier than the duke.
Osiris is not someone who cares too much about his appearance, but as a duke, he has to pay attention to it.
"Hmm, I’m here," Karoso replied.
"This time I brought you out and not your brother; do you know why?" The pirate captain’s gaze was fixed on Karoso.
"Because you want to train me," Karoso gave a fairly appropriate answer.
Karoso felt that he seemed to be the son of the person in front of him.
How strange, this is something that only happens in a dungeon.
Whether it is role-playing or something else, this is part of the dungeon setting. Why is it so strange in reality?
"You?" The captain looked at him with a strange expression. "Before, I told you to study hard, but you wouldn’t listen. You spoke just like them. Now, why are you so polite?"
"People can change," Karoso said calmly.
After experiencing so many dungeons, Karoso adapted very well.
"Ha, damn it, that’s right, people can change." The captain stood up and looked into the distance. "Do you know what we are going to do this time?"
"I don’t know," Karoso shook his head.
"Hey, do you know what the greatest pursuit of a pirate is?" The captain opened his arms wide.
"The best treasure in the world?" Karoso guessed cautiously.
"That’s not wrong." A spark gleamed in the captain’s eyes, "This time, we are going to slay a god."
"Slay a god?" Karoso’s pupils narrowed slightly.
"The body of a god is the greatest treasure in the world." The captain’s hook rested on Karoso’s shoulder, "I have taken the Magic Potion nine times. I am a level nine warrior, just one step away from becoming a god."
"A god is something countless people dream of."
"However, ordinary people can only worship the gods and do not dare to strike at them."
"I am different; I am the mighty Pirate King. I could take a queen and make her my wife!"
"In this world, I have obtained everything I possess, so my only pursuit is to attain a godhood!"
"Pirates are all about plunder."
"I have taken the secret of the god-making ritual. Now I only need godly essence and the body of a god as materials to create the final Magic Potion, making me a god!"
"Do you know why I am the Pirate King? Because I have a dream crazier than anyone else’s!"
"The being they worship is what I steal from."
"I sail the fastest ship in the world, my crew is the best of the best, and I will cross the Forbidden Sea to claim what rightfully belongs to me!"
The captain’s face shone with a wild look, "And you, Jack, will be my heir. When I become a god, you will be my pope!"
"Hmm." Karoso quietly nodded.
Black Pearl, a level nine warrior, Pirate King…
I have no impression of this at all. Is it a historical event or made up?
"Captain, a newcomer has arrived."
Just then, the bald pirate brought a girl over.
Looking at the person in front of her, the two stared at each other wide-eyed.
"Karoso?" Elizabeth, lacking experience, foolishly mentioned Karoso’s name.
"Who is that?" Karoso looked at Elizabeth with a confused expression.
Bang!
The bald pirate slapped Elizabeth on the head and shouted, "What is this Karoso? This is Young Master Jack Spoleto."
[Damn it, I have no strength to complain anymore.]
[So it really is like Pirates of the Caribbean.]
[I like Barbossa.]
[Where are we in the story?]
[Um… Elizabeth’s story has begun, but there is no Master Karoso on the ship, only this Pirate King Tige Spoleto.]
[In this part of the story, Elizabeth has been bullied and made to work.]
"’Ah?’ Elizabeth felt a bit lost; she didn’t know what to do."
Even though she is the daughter of Russell, a powerful gangster, she has never been to the dungeon. Everything she knows about the dungeon comes from books.
As a sixth-tier thief, she was previously described by Whyte as a textbook thief, because she cannot adapt.
She is like a girl in an ivory tower.
On the other hand, Karoso, although the son of a duke, grew up in very harsh conditions where life was always at risk, so he can adjust to any situation.
Bang!
"’Ouch…’"
Elizabeth was kicked to the ground by the bald pirate.
"Damn it, this useless girl! I don’t even know what I was thinking when I brought her on board…"
Saying this, the bald pirate looked up at Pirate King Tige Spoleto with a fawning expression, "Captain, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not teaching her properly… Damn it, she was fine before."
"Hmm, let’s teach her a lesson." Tige didn’t care about Elizabeth at all, "She’s just a sixth-tier thief who serves."
Karoso looked around; how many levels were those loud and busy pirates?
A sixth-tier thief has no status on this ship?
What chaotic time is this? A pirate is too strong!
What do they mean by teaching a lesson?
It is still nighttime, and dark clouds cover the moonlight.
Slowly, the dark clouds passed, and the moon appeared.
Karoso’s pupils shrank slightly.
All the people on the ship, every single one!
They had all turned into skeletons, with very little flesh on them.
Except for Karoso, Elizabeth, and Tige, everyone else was a creature of the dead!
This is the age of Death Knights and liches!
Under the light of the moon, their true forms were revealed.
"Ah!" Elizabeth was stunned by what she saw.
She had experienced the chaos of the City of Freedom and had seen ghouls before.
But the people who were chatting happily before suddenly turned into spirits, which frightened her greatly.
Many skeletons turned their heads and looked at her in a strange way.
Some had eyeballs, while others didn’t have any eyes at all.
They crazily paddled the oars, completely unaware of exhaustion, and the Black Pearl raced swiftly across the sea.
This fastest ship is probably the fastest because its crew never knows fatigue!
When Karoso saw the bald pirate going after Elizabeth, he quickly walked over to her and kicked her in the backside, "What’s all the fuss about?"
"I, you…" Elizabeth looked at Karoso with a face full of grievance.
She didn’t know what to do now; her only support was Karoso, and yet he kicked her.
Now it seemed as if their ages were reversed; Karoso looked more like an adult, while Elizabeth looked more like a child.
A sixth-tier person actually put their hope in someone from the fifth tier…
[Elizabeth became an excellent pirate here, influenced by Master Karoso. Can she still grow?]
[I don’t know, but after this, Elizabeth has matured a lot.]
[In the future, Elizabeth will stand on the ship, looking far away, with no emotion in her eyes. It truly makes people feel sad.]
[Actually, she’s doing fine like this; we don’t need her to be more mature…]
[This time in the story, she must have gone through a lot.]
"Get to work," Karoso pointed at the deck. "You don’t seem to have a single thought about work, do you?"
The bald pirate grabbed Elizabeth’s ear, lifting her up, and made a harsh sound, "Girl, hurry and work, just like them!"
"Okay, okay, I’ll get to work right away…" Elizabeth, afraid of getting hit, got up quickly, but she had no idea what she was supposed to do.
The bald pirate threw a towel at her and said, "Wipe the deck!"
"Yes!"
Elizabeth grabbed the towel and started wiping the deck.
Bang!
At that moment, the oar accidentally hit a fish, and the fish flew out of the sea, landing on the deck, jumping around.
Elizabeth looked at the fish, her cheeks turned even paler.
The fish was lying on its back, looking just like a human face.
"Wah, wah, wah…"
The fish’s belly made a crying sound, just like a baby.
"Devil Fish, a good catch." Karoso was worried that Elizabeth might not handle it well, so he went over and grabbed the fish, "Father, how about we have this for dinner?"
"Sounds good." Tige nodded, "Take it to the kitchen."
Hearing this, Karoso casually tossed the fish to the bald pirate, not knowing where the kitchen was.
The bald pirate didn’t mind and ran off to the kitchen with the fish.
Tige saw that Karoso didn’t deliver it himself and showed no reaction, as if it was how things should be.
Although Tige didn’t share much information, Karoso understood that this Jack must be a pirate with little class.
Even though Jack’s speech was a bit like Karoso’s from before, he managed to brush it off.
Karoso sighed, this night felt a bit long…
