Pirate’s Ripple Admiral

After all, the captain of the ‘Diss Forest’, the ‘Storm Fox’ Khufu, is also a well-known powerhouse in North Blue, and he is also regarded as a prestige in the smuggling circle of the underground world.

In addition, the ‘Diss Forest’, which Khufu spent a lot of money to rebuild, does not have several times the strength of theirs, and it is difficult to gnaw this solid merchant ship.

"what--"

After a big yawn, Marcus rubbed his eyes and murmured, "I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time!"

However, just as he was drowsy, he heard a "dongdong" vibration approaching along the mast, instantly dispelling the sleepiness in his mind.

"Oops, what time is it? Is it because I slept too long and forgot to change shifts!"

Thinking of this, Marcus struck a carp, poked his head out of the observation tower, and looked out.

I saw a figure on the slender mast quickly climbing up. It is the prestige on this ship second only to Captain Khufu, and the deputy captain of this ship-Noriel Keith.

"Ah! Deputy Captain, why are you here? You can just say hello on the deck if you have anything to do. Why do you need to climb up yourself?"

Marcus woke up instantly with his eyes rolled, with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly below.

"Dalle said to call you down, you didn't answer, I'll come up and see."

As he spoke, Keith had already climbed the last few suspended ladders, climbing the edge of the watchtower, and staring at Marcus.

"The boss called me? But... it may be that the sea breeze is too strong, and I am observing the sea environment again. I didn't pay attention."

Marcus said with some flickering eyes, subconsciously avoiding Keith's gaze.

"Does the boss have any instructions to ask me? He just said it. If you need a trip for the deputy captain, you need to go there."

Dalle is the captain of the ship, and all the crew are theoretically under his control.

Seeing this situation, Keith didn't know what this guy had just done. After all, the force of this ship guaranteed the safety of the crew. It was not the first time that watchmen were lazy when they looked around.

There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, but Keith didn't say anything about it, but said: "What are you still blocking the door? Get out, I'm going in."

"Oh... okay." Marcus gave way, as if waking up from a dream.

Said to be a watchtower, in fact, the space is very small, only enough for two or three people. Through the windows on both sides, you can observe the sea level on all sides.

It was midday, and the warm sea breeze, as usual, blew layers of scales on the surface of the sea.

"Deputy Captain, Boss Dall called me just now. I didn't respond. It's definitely not that I was dozing off, but..."

"But what?" Keith asked while scanning the surrounding sea.

"Hmm..." Marcus's eyes fluttered around, as he blurted out a lie in a hurry.

"I just saw a huge black shadow on the sea just now. I thought it was Sea Kings. I was horrified and focused on observing the surrounding sea, so I didn't hear the boss call me."

Marcus gave a quick explanation, and secretly praised his wit.

I thought that the deputy captain would get nervous when he heard the news of Sea Kings, but Keith was noncommittal, but returned with a straight gaze until Marcus buried his head in shame.

"Sea Kings appeared in the Odessa waters, Marcus, do you think I am a kid who just went out to sea?"

Keith asked with a smile, but there was no expression on his face.

Keith didn't mean to punish Marcus, and he didn't climb up the mast to check Marcus's post.

However, as the deputy captain of this ship, facing the apparent laziness and lying behavior of the crew, he still had to take out the necessary attitude.

At least it should make this guy understand that laziness and lying are not behaviors worth encouraging.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Deputy Captain, I was wrong, I shouldn't be lazy, I'm just too tired, so I slept a little bit."

The lie was exposed, and Marcus confessed his mistake in a low voice, dejectedly.

Seeing that Marcus had realized his mistake, Keith would naturally accept it. After all, this young guy is still reliable in doing things, and beating and beating is enough.

"Marcus, don't let your guard down." The middle-aged Keith is very optimistic about Marcus's dexterity, and deliberately reminds him. "It has been four months since the execution of One Piece Roger. The world has already It started to change."

"The world has begun to change?"

Marcus dumbly repeated Keith.

The name of the One Piece Roger, he naturally knew that the only powerful pirate who conquered the Grand Line was named One Piece.

Even in the remote North Blue, he knew Roger's name and had seen the scene where Roger was executed.

Without answering Marcus immediately, Keith moved his gaze to the distant sea.

Dark clouds surging on the sea level in the distance, the storm is about to come, as if Keith's mood at this moment.

"The death of the Pirate King opened a new era in the history of the Pirates. It is a carnival feast for the Pirates!"

Keith turned his head and glanced at the somewhat ignorant Marcus, and then said, "The feast of the pirates is a disaster for the civilians and those of us who depend on the sea for food."

"Disaster?" Marcus muttered to himself, and said in a bit of horror.

"Yes, disaster, this sea has begun to get out of control!"

Keith turned his head and stared at Marcus's face seriously, "In the past month, we have been attacked by five waves of pirates. This was impossible before."

"Now, there are more and more such things, which shows that there are more and more newcomers and pirates going to sea."

"This...then we are now more dangerous than before."

Marcus seemed to be stunned by Keith's words, and his words were unsatisfactory.

"Don't worry, as well as me and the captain. Besides, all the powerful pirates have gone to the Grand Line."

Keith turned his head to comfort Marcus.

Tell Marcus this, just want him to do his best in his future work, don't think that he is as comfortable as before, or else you will lose your life if you don't know it.

However, just as he turned his head, the expression on Marcus's face suddenly turned sharply, instantly changing from dullness to full of shock.

"Deputy Captain! Look at the direction of the stern, is there something over there?"

Marcus clenched the telescope in his hand tightly, his voice full of fear.

"Um?"

Keith raised his head, searching in the direction Marcus said.

Sure enough, there was an abrupt black spot on the sea level that should have been empty.

"Give me the telescope." Keith stretched his hand back and his voice became serious.

However, the scared Marcus has lost his ability to act.

Keith turned around, too late to comfort Marcus, who was dull-eyed, took the telescope from his hand, and immediately looked at the black spot.

That is a flag fluttering in the wind--

White skull on black.
