If they dared to kill like this on the Old Continent, it probably wouldn’t be long before the Judgnt Knights of the Tribunal ca knocking for a barbecue party. Otherwise, the Great Pirates of the East and West Coasts wouldn’t all have fled to the Bantaan Archipelago. It symbolized that those in such a turbulent profession should pursue turmoil throughout their lives.
"This guy’s a pauper; small city-states just don’t have much loot," Gus grumbled, yet he still patiently scavenged every gold ornant from the victim. He never touched things like financial managent, investnt, or stocks, only the zero-fee savings plan from Pioneer Bank. As long as he checked the number on the deposit slip every day, he even dread sweetly at night. He then used the [Holy Grail of Blood] to make a clean sweep of the corpses on the ground. These Extraordinary Materials were needed to repay the captain for the Night Demon’s ’Promotion Loan’; although the interest wasn’t high, not a single spoil of war could be wasted. The [Pirate’s Ten Commandnts] were becoming more comprehensive, and they didn’t want to be the first to break the rules.
SCREECH—!
At that mont, a piercing cry cut through the hurricane and reached their ears. Looking up, the newcor had the body and claws of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle, much like a legendary Griffon. The Griffon spoke in a human tongue, and it was the voice of "Blood Red Whiskey" Alfred,
"Are you done? Let’s go back for a victory feast. The agent in the city-state said he wants to introduce their... Dowager Queen, to us, the ssengers of the gods."
Clearly, Alfred was a step ahead of them, having completed his own life’s nu and successfully advanced to a Third-Order [Gourt]. He had gained the Third-Order ability [Sacrant Recipe]:
"No longer limited to single delicacies like geoduck, whiskey, and so on, but able to combine different foods and cooking thods to produce wonderful chemical reactions. And since each person’s constitution and preferences differ, each Third-Order [Gourt]’s [Sacrant Recipe] is naturally distinct."
Coincidentally, the ability he inherited from Byron was [Vampire’s Touch], and with a range of otherworld delicacies, the style of his recipes naturally changed too. For instance, this kind:
"Shattered organs, clotted blood, entwining tentacles, lifeless eyeballs, shriveled limbs, damaged brains, crimson fruits.
Tumbling amidst the red and white, sinking in the intermingling of yellow and brown!"
In reality, it was his favorite hotpot stew; anything could be tossed into the pot. Drinking it all down with the broth, transforming into a Griffon, chira, sharktopus, vegetable dog, or cat-dog, and so on, was a piece of cake.
Actually, it wasn’t just them; a significant portion of the pirates from the Pioneer Guiding Colonial Trading Company had been sent to the war-torn Yucatan Island to train. Pirates believed that "survivors rule"; those who lived through the war naturally grew imnsely in strength.
Although Byron was still in Violet’s room at Torrent Fortress, through the increasingly powerful [Golden Law], he could see everything happening far away with crystal clarity. Influence was important, but the growth of his Direct Lineage Guardsn was also a top priority. He himself had reached the threshold of Fourth Order and could now begin preparing for the Promotion Ceremony, as well as the developnt of ’heroic troops’. Better to prepare in advance than to rush about at the last minute. Although team building was just beginning, it already had a hint of the luxurious configuration of the Pirate Kings.
Until his perspective shifted, and he saw Guardian Knight Bruh at a manor in Port Royal, leaning against a wall. After taking a few steps, Bruh would pat his old lower back, occasionally emitting strange sounds: UGH... HAH... HAH...
Behind him was the Fairy, Rigel, adorned in a dancer’s gossar skirt. Her skin was radiant, and her heterochromatic eyes seed to be brimming with moisture.
Byron suddenly realized that Bruh might just be the one in their core team with the highest ’degree of developnt’.
