Chapter 294 Legendary Pirates
Suraj eventually let Ah Jun take the Wisdom Tree away.
Of course, he left behind a large sum of money, enough for him to buy a new ship.
In addition, there were several attendants and all the extraordinary supplies.
Sulajie shared his thoughts with Ah Jun.
The landscape of the Despair Sea has undergone a dramatic transformation, and the New World has attracted the attention of many more people.
Therefore, he must immediately join this competition for the spoils, otherwise Swabawa will continue to fall behind the times.
However, they did not bring enough people or funds this time, and the Lord's investment was too small.
The New World not only had land, but also a whole new kind of commodity, even a luxury item.
This is absolutely worth the Lord's investment of more resources, and Suraj is convinced that this decision will change the future of Swabawa.
On the day Ah Jun left, despite his injuries, he walked to the nurse's side and swore to Suraj that he would fulfill the mission Suraj had given him.
Through his own abilities, Suraj has come to understand Ah Jun's true nature, and he believes that Ah Jun will certainly live up to his mission.
Now, Suraj needs to focus on what he needs to do.
His mission was to be a pioneer, preparing the New World for reinforcements.
But no matter what you're going to do, the prerequisite is to get a boat.
The archipelago is currently under the control of a "governor," who is a pirate governor, but this also means that there are more than just pirate ships here.
Suraj doesn't need a very large boat, just one large enough for navigation.
Therefore, even though the Clown Islands have only recently opened, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to find a suitable vessel.
If Plum Blossom Island is the economic center of the Clown Islands, then Spade Island must be the craft center.
Here you'll find the largest shipyard in the archipelago, and Suraj even saw the Giant Arrow Factory.
If you want to buy a boat, there is no better place than here.
The navigator likely established his residence on this island to better oversee productivity across the archipelago.
Suraj walked to the dock and saw several completed ships for sale.
However, they were all old ships, and only one of them was in decent condition.
Suraj had no choice but to ask the dock owner for information about the ship.
Just then, several burly men suddenly surrounded him.
Suraj immediately placed his hand on the hilt of his knife, while the other man also drew his weapon.
One of the bald men said, "Don't be nervous. As long as you don't resist, we won't use violence against you."
Suraj demanded, "What do you want to do?"
"Our boss wants to see you."
"Who's your boss?"
The bald man grinned: "Cyril, the Governor of the Clown Islands, 'The Lookout.'"
Unbeknownst to them, Suraj had already arrived at a detached wooden house.
Suraj didn't know why the island's master wanted to see him.
He kept a low profile throughout his time here and did not cause any trouble.
In any case, Cyril's men treated Suraj fairly politely, so the situation might not be too serious.
Suraj did not bring any attendants with him.
In the past, wherever he went, Ah Jun would follow.
Now that Ah Jun has left, the others are not strong enough to protect Sulajie, so there is no need to let them follow.
The bald man knocked on the door of the cabin, and after receiving a reply, Suraj was let in.
As soon as he stepped inside, Suraj was immediately drawn to the decor.
He concluded that the owner of this house must have very good taste.
The floor was covered with a dark red wool carpet, which, judging by its quality, should have come from the Benson Gobi Desert.
A brown lacquered square table sits on the carpet, with an exquisite seated lamp on top.
On the walls on both sides, there are various animal specimens hanging, and a huge knitted herald covers an entire wall.
Suraj couldn't help but wonder who or what faction this emblem belonged to.
Perhaps noticing Suraj's gaze, a voice timely explained on Suraj's behalf:
"That emblem is called the diagonal black cross. It used to be the pirate flag of the Navigator, and it carries the Navigator's past glory and honor."
Suraj turned his head and looked at the person who had spoken.
He was a middle-aged man with medium-length hair, slender and tall.
He was dressed in a black long gown, the sharp triangular collar making him look very capable.
A black silk scarf was tied around her chest, adding a touch of luxury to her already impressive outfit.
He wasn't wearing any jewelry, otherwise he would have looked like a nouveau riche.
The man continued, "Although the Navigator is dead, his emblem remains. I inherited his legacy and intend to inherit this emblem as well. I am preparing to use it as the flag of the Clown Islands."
Suraj immediately recognized the man as Cyril "The Lookout," the governor of the Clown Islands.
He asked, "Don't you have your own coat of arms?"
"Yes, it did exist, but that flag carried my shameful past, and I discarded it without hesitation."
Cyril shrugged.
"Another reason is that the Navigator is a true man. He rarely admires anyone in his life, but the Navigator is one of them."
Powerful, wise, brave, and mad—if I had any idol in my life, it would be him. Therefore, inheriting this crest is my wish.
"It seems you really admire the leader."
Cyril pursed his lips and spread his hands:
"If you had sailed with him for a while, you would definitely agree with me."
With that, Cyril gestured for Suraj to sit down in the chair opposite him.
Suraj did as instructed and asked:
"If the leader were here, he would never have approved of you opening the Clown Islands to decent people."
"If the navigator were here, I wouldn't even have this idea," Cyril chuckled casually. "Pirates are a disorganized mess, unable to withstand a direct attack from righteous people."
"Pirates can flee to the four seas, but the Clown Islands cannot, and the Clown Islands are hindering the righteous from dividing the New World."
Their fleet would arrive sooner or later; I was just doing the right thing—preventing the islands from being submerged by the giant waves.
"But if there is a leader, the inevitable waves will not be late."
"But if there is a leader, the giant waves will be kept at bay by the seawall."
Suraj narrowed his eyes: "You have a lot of confidence in the Navigator? How could he do all this all by himself?"
"At first, I had only heard rumors about the Navigator and thought that rumors would always get more and more exaggerated," Cyril shrugged. "But after witnessing the Navigator's legendary story firsthand, I can only say that the rumors about the Navigator were not exaggerated enough."
Upon hearing this, Suraj felt a sense of unease.
"Could he have really chopped a boat in half with a single axe blow?"
"No, that's not true," Cyril smiled, "but he did single-handedly kill the enemy commander, and he did so with only one ship."
To outmaneuver a fleet of several hundred ships until the very end.
"The navigator did indeed die in that battle, and the righteous fleet did indeed lose at least a hundred men."
"In my opinion, if the navigator were here and he led the fleet in resistance, even if the Clown Islands were lost, the righteous people would suffer unacceptable and enormous losses."
"But the navigator is dead," Suraj said.
"That's right, so I chose to seek peace," Cyril smiled. "But looking back, those decent people were quite shrewd."
"What do you mean?"
"Their original target was the pirate stronghold on the Sea of Despair, but they turned around and attacked the navigator who was at the Sea of Weeping Gorge at the time. They must have been looking for a good opportunity before they left. If the navigator had returned to the fleet and the Clown Islands, the situation on the Sea of Despair would have been completely different from what it is now."
On this point, Suraj has far less say than the leader's subordinates.
But: "Why are you discussing these things with me? I've never met you before, nor do I have any connection with the Navigator. And, Your Excellency, why did you bring me here?"
The pirate in front of me smiled: "Everything I just told you was simply to let you know that my admiration for the navigator is absolutely true, and this is related to the reason why I asked you to come here."
"What's the purpose?" Suraj frowned.
"I heard you recently hired a crew member?"
"I've recently hired many people; I'm not sure which one you're referring to?"
"There should be a big guy among them, right?"
Big guy —
You mean Miko?
"That's right," Cyril nodded. "Where do you plan to take him?"
Suraj immediately realized that Miko and Cyril even knew the navigator.
“All over the world,” Suraj replied. “I’m a businessman; I go wherever there’s money to be made.”
"But not long ago, he sent his ship eastward alone."
Suraj's heart tightened, and he quickly stood up:
"What did you do to my boat?!"
"Oh! Don't be nervous,"
Cyril raised both hands and waved them downwards. "I didn't attack your ship, I just tracked its movements. After all, I am the owner of the islands, so I have that much ability. As for you, you were just inquiring about ships at the shipyard, it seems you're planning to buy a new one. Can you explain that?"
"This is my private matter, there's no need for me to tell you!"
"Only this matter requires your careful consideration; I am not discussing it with you."
Suraj heard the blatant threat.
He had heard of the pirate's exploits.
Cyril, a former smuggler, recently killed two other leaders without hesitation at a meeting.
This shows that the man is ruthless and his threats will definitely not be limited to words.
Suraj understood that he had no room for resistance at the moment, only compromise:
"I just want them to finish their previous business, while I plan to buy a new ship and a new fleet here to start a completely new project."
"What project?"
"For businessmen, trade secrets are more important than life itself."
"That's a pity, you'll only lose your life."
Suraj clenched his fists; he knew the person before him was not easy to deal with.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"The landscape of the Despair Sea has changed. I want to open up a trade route from the Clown Islands to New Gate City. It's bound to be very profitable."
"Ah! That's true! Hmm, that's certainly a good idea,"
Cyril had a thoughtful expression on his face, making him seem like a true expert.
This man used to be a smuggler, so he might indeed be more knowledgeable than Suraj.
Was it lucky? Suraj's lies went undetected.
Suraj asked, "Governor, I've told you all my questions, so what exactly do you want from me?"
"I just want to know where you plan to take Miko."
"If you care about him so much, I'll leave him here."
“No,” Cyril waved his hand, “now that you’ve already taken him away, I can’t keep him here.”
Suraj felt extremely awkward listening to this: "Sir, what exactly is Miko to you?"
“An old friend, or rather, a colleague,” Cyril said with a smirk, “he was a confidant of the Navigator.”
Upon hearing this, Suraj's eyes widened:
"The navigator's confidant? You mean an idiot?"
“The navigator never called him that; his nickname is ‘Strongman,’” Cyril said. “Don’t underestimate him; he may be simple-minded, but he’s very useful.”
Suraj finally understood the situation. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down completely.
"What do you want to say to me about him, sir?"
"I've told you before that I admire the Navigator. He didn't leave behind many things, and Miko is one of them. I have to take care of him on behalf of the Navigator. Since Miko has agreed to come aboard your ship, I can't interfere, but I must emphasize this to you again: don't bully Miko. He has someone protecting him."
"Just to tell me this?"
Cyril nodded.
Suraj was later released.
He was surprised that he had this kind of relationship with Miko.
I'm even more curious about what kind of person the leader is.
He actually managed to win over such a ruthless and heartless person, making him so sincerely devoted to him.
This person must be extremely charismatic.
Regardless, he knew he had to take Miko with him, otherwise they might not even be able to get out of the Clown Islands.
It seems we've invited a plague god into our home.
But Cyril said Mico was good?
Perhaps Mico does have something unique about him?
In short, he has been targeted by the owner of this place.
He had to buy a boat immediately and then set sail.
Suraj returned to the shipyard and inquired about the old ship he had previously set his sights on.
After boarding the ship and inspecting the interior of the cabin, and confirming that there were no major problems, Suraj booked the boat.
Afterward, he brought all his followers and newly recruited sailors to the dock.
Suraj paid the bill and let all the crew members board the ship.
After sailing the ship into the harbor and spending another half a day preparing supplies, they were finally able to leave the archipelago.
The ship departed the port and headed towards the heart of the sea.
This ship is called "Midnight Bitch".
At the bow of the ship was a dancer with her breasts exposed, but her face had been eroded by the seawater, making her features indistinct.
After driving for some distance, Cyril suddenly ordered a U-turn.
The helmsman immediately reminded him, "Captain, I have absolutely not gone the wrong way; we are indeed sailing west."
“I know,” Suraj said, “but I’m not going west.”
"Not the west? But the New World is in the west, Captain, where are you planning to go?"
"southward!"
Suraj squinted, gazing at the undulating sea.
"We will bypass the Devil's Reef and reach the west coast of the New World!"
"This is impossible! No one has ever done it before! This means we're going to cross the Storm Sea! The storms there are like thick wooden sticks,"
Even the toughest man can't withstand that!
"Even the toughest guys might not be able to handle it."
Suraj gripped the railing of the Midnight Bitch.
"But a bitch can."
