After waking up, Xia Ke suddenly sat up, shivering all over, and when he saw clearly what was in front of him, his head was covered with black lines.

No wonder he felt uncomfortable, Wojin's calf was just across his chest, and his feet that smelled like salty sea water almost made the knight faint again.

The knight overturned Wo Jin, and Wo Jin's huge body lay horizontally on the ground, just stacked on Nobunaga's body. Nobunaga groaned, but still didn't wake up.

The knight looked up, only to find that he was in a relatively narrow cubicle. Outside the cubicle was a large room with the door open. He could clearly see that his team leader, Kuroro, was talking to someone.

The knight sensed his state, and frowned slightly, his thoughts seemed to be suppressed by something, and his reaction was particularly slow.

He stretched out his hand and slapped Wojin's face twice, Wojin didn't respond, he reached out to slap Feitan again, but as soon as he lifted his hand, Feitan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him faintly.

The knight took advantage of the situation and made a haha: "Ah, you are awake too."

Fei Tan glared at the knight gloomyly, he crawled out from under Wojin's arm, and frowned: "Why is the feeling of reading so weak?"

"I don't know." The knight tilted his head towards the outside: "The leader woke up first, he is outside, shall we go out?"

Feitan nodded.

Xia Ke and Fei Tan got out of the cubicle one after the other, only to find that there seemed to be a faint cover outside the cubicle. After getting out of the cover, the conversation between Kuroro and the person opposite also followed.

"So there's actually nothing there?" Kuroro's face showed childlike curiosity, and the smile on his lips was slightly raised, harmless and safe. He sighed: "That's really a pity."

Sitting opposite him was a man wearing a pirate captain's cap. The man was wearing a coat with red epaulets and golden stars. The coat was decorated with many tassel chains. It looked golden and very attractive.

He has long dark red wavy hair, which is tied into a small braid at the back of his head, and his face is exquisite and beautiful. He doesn't look like a pirate wandering in the sea at all, like a noble prince shuttling back and forth in a palace.

This pirate, code-named Prince, has a pair of amber eyes. Hearing Kuroro's words at this moment, his brows and eyes are curved, cute and gentle.

"Yes, this is the unpredictable sea. No one knows whether it will be heaven or hell in the next second."

The prince turned his head and smiled at the knight: "Ah, knight, you are awake."

The knight felt a stomach ache the moment he saw the prince: "...Long time no see."

The prince smiled even brighter.

Kuroro nodded at Xia Ke and Fei Tan, and asked along the way: "My team members are also awake, can we get to the point?"

The prince tilted his head and thought for a while: "Alright, then let me introduce myself. I am the governor of the Eastern Sea Region under the Sea Emperor. You can call me a prince."

He has already said it to Kuroro, the knight knows who he is, so this sentence is mainly for Fei Tan.

"Your mind power will recover slowly, don't worry." The prince shrugged: "After all, mind power users are one of the recipes of many deep-sea behemoths. When bringing you back from the sea, you must suppress your mind power to a minimum, otherwise you will lose your mind power." Very troublesome."

He first explained the problem of mind power, and then said: "Welcome to Neptune Island, this is the headquarters of Neptune, after a while your partners wake up, you can go directly to Neptune Palace, Your Excellency will receive you there .”

The knight came over with a smile on his face: "Prince, my god, we didn't take anything."

The prince also smiled: "You can explain this sentence to the three hunters from the Hunter Association."

The knight's eyes lit up: "Then we..."

"But you have entered a place you shouldn't enter." The prince shook his head: "Xiaxia, you have also been in the sea, and you should understand that you have to pay the price."

The knight nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, of course we understand, but the price is different, for example, we can exchange something..." He blinked at the prince and showed a meaningful smile.

The prince understood: "I understand, I will tell your Excellency."

Immediately he got up: "Then I will ask someone to bring you some food, and if you have other requests, you can also ask."

After the prince left, the knight breathed a sigh of relief.

Kuroro looked at the knight: "Old friend?"

The knight said distressedly: "Yes, and no, the situation at sea is a bit troublesome now."

Fei Tan said nonchalantly: "At worst, we'll kill them."

The knight said angrily: "How can we leave after killing us? Can you sail a boat?"

Fei Tan sneered: "There will always be people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and send us out."

The knight also sneered: "The premise is that the owner of this sea has no heirs. If you kill Joptel, someone will come to trouble us immediately."

"Besides, even if we are strong enough to kill everyone in Neptune Island, as long as we are still at sea, as long as there are pirates, it will be difficult for us to really get out of this sea." The tone of the knight was serious and serious: "Fei Tan, this is not a place where you can mess around."

Kuroro said thoughtfully: "Xiaxia, you are very afraid of this place."

The knight was silent for a while before saying: "Because reading is not everything here."

Fei Tan asked: "Even if the team leader stole their special abilities? Like sailing or something?"

The knight shook his head: "Only the captain can awaken the mind power that can guide the course, or in other words, only after awakening the relevant mind power, can he have the potential to become a captain, and these mind powers have certain restrictions, such as there must be a boat, for example, how many boats must there be?" For a sailor, such as how many years must be sailed, such as how many ships must be killed and how many things must be plundered in the next few years, these restrictions are fragmented and messy, and even a captain even set a kind of mentality that must be killed every year. Losing the limit of six sea-ja giant beasts... Even if the team leader steals this kind of thought power, if it doesn't meet these requirements, it won't be able to use it."

Kuroro thought for a while, and he asked the knight: "What does it mean to pay the price?"

The knight had a headache: "How should I say it? According to the rules of the sea, thieves don't leave empty space. If we sneakily evacuate the remains of the Basai Dynasty and leave successfully, the pirates will not say anything. Instead, they will think that we have the ability, and even follow up The sales can go through their channels, but now we are found by them halfway through the exploration, and even rescued by them. According to the rules of the sea, we are now their slaves. First, we need to pay for our lives. To make them not hold us accountable for stealing the relics, we will have to pay a large sum of money to let them send me to land.”

After hearing this, Fei Tan sneered, a cold light flickered in his long and narrow golden eyes.

Kuroro was still as calm as a mountain. He asked the knight: "Then according to the usual practice, what should we do?"

"Don't worry about the first point. With Ace here, you can save money to buy your life. The second point is not difficult. Let's talk to the people from the Hunter Association later. If the people from the association agree to join us in the exploration, then we will It’s not counted as stealing things, the hunters of the association made a report, but they were temporarily suppressed.” The knight’s tone was not relaxed, but became serious: “The problem is what we need to pay before they are willing to send us back On land."

Kuroro said slowly: "Before you guys woke up, I talked with the prince for a while, and he told me that this is the inner side of the sea, and non-pirates can't leave."

The knight had an ugly expression, and he muttered in a low voice, "I knew it would be like this."

"Generally speaking, there are several types of seas, one is the high seas, the other is national seas, and there are shallow seas and deep seas, etc., but for pirates, the sea is only divided into two types, one is that the pirates can There is one that pirates can't go to." The knight scratched his head: "The sea areas that pirates can go to represent the oceans that human beings can conquer by relying on their own strength, whether it is the power of thought or navigation ability, and the sea areas that pirates cannot go to. It is the inner sea area, this sea area is awe-inspiring and unconquerable to pirates, and it is a natural limit that humans cannot surpass."

He looked at Fei Tan.

"I know what you want to say, Feitan, let me ask you, if there is a month-long tsunami, can we survive in the sea? If we encounter hundreds of thousands of Patty sea beasts that we saw before the coma Chasing and killing, can we survive? If there is a huge shock on the submarine plate, the submarine volcano erupts, and the sea turns into boiling water, can we survive?" The knight shook his head: "We will only die here."

Fei Tan choked, resentful and silent.

"If you want to leave here, you must have the help of pirates." After a pause, the knight added: "To be precise, it is the permission of the sea emperor Joptel."

Thinking of the scene he saw many years ago, the knight's tone was extremely complicated.

"Because he is favored by this sea, we may all die, but he will definitely live."

"Hahahaha, it's been a long time, knight!"

Joptel is still the same as before, and it seems that little has changed.

His brilliant short golden hair is messy, he wears an ordinary shirt on the upper body, a large cloak with red tassels inlaid with golden gemstone epaulettes, ordinary beach shorts underneath, and a pair of black herringbone on his feet drag.

The knight was full of black lines: "...Captain Kaman, you didn't dress like this before, have you been infected by Ace?"

Joptel continued to laugh: "Yeah, I found it easy and convenient to wear like this!"

This is a rather spacious hall. The one sitting at the top of the hall is of course Joptel. There are two pirates on the left and right beside him. They all wear captain hats, and they are obviously the boss of one of the pirates.

Joptel got up and walked down from the main seat, leading Kuroro and others to the sofa next to him.

"Come, come, let's sit here and talk. I've heard the general situation from the prince." With a cigar in his mouth, he smiled enthusiastically: "You are thieves, we are pirates, we are all thieves, We are all a family, so there is not so much hypocrisy, let's get straight to the point."

Joptel seems to be particularly easy to talk to.

"Go talk to the Hunters Association about the ruins of the Basai dynasty. There are six of you, and there are only three of them. You should be able to take it down." He didn't care about a ruin on the bottom of the sea. The sea is too vast to be submerged by the sea. The civilization covered is as numerous as the stars in the night sky: "We pirates have no culture. Even if that kind of thing is soaked in the sea, it is of no use to us. It is better to exchange it for food and weapons, and the civilization that humans have appeared in the past can also bloom again. , I have always had no objection to this kind of cooperation that pleases everyone."

Kuroro raised his eyebrows, and immediately showed just the right amount of praise and admiration on his face: "Your Excellency has such a heart, it is really admirable."

Joptel chuckled, and looked at Kuroro: "But if you trespass into the forbidden waters without authorization, even if you don't need to pay for your life, you will have to pay for your failed actions."

Kurolo asked, "For example?"

"For example, to catch a basket of bird food called autumn sea worms."

"..." Kuroro repeated: "Autumn sea worms? Bird food?"

"Didn't you see it? The giant bird that fell from the sky and beat the clouds and rain?" Joptel said in surprise: "The uncle's appearance fee is not low. He saved you. Why don't you dig some bird food for him? Don’t you even want to eat?”

Everyone in the brigade: "..."
