The ocean looked calm.

But the calm can sometimes feel eerie.

Ever since the Flame left its normal route and started heading towards the undersea ruins of the Basak Dynasty, perhaps it was Kate's illusion that even the color of the sea seemed to have changed.

"It's not an illusion." Vigorous girl Bishan told Kate Science: "Because we have left the sea and entered the ocean."

Bishan and Kate were breathing on the deck. They leaned against the side of the ship and looked out. The sea looked very calm, like a mirror, and even the waves were unbelievably peaceful. The sound of beating against the ship was even louder than what they had heard before. Be gentle.

"The so-called ocean actually refers to two kinds of waters. The sea generally refers to the waters close to the mainland, which is the edge of the ocean."

Bishan closed her eyes slightly, feeling the sea breeze brushing her cheeks, and unconsciously smiled.

"The area of ​​the sea is only one-tenth of the ocean." Bishan said with a smile: "We have now entered the largest country today, the country of the ocean."

There was a look of surprise on Kate's face. He looked into the distance, the sky was as blue as washing, and only light clouds hung quietly in the sky.

The dividing line between the sea and the sky in the distance seems to become blurred, giving the illusion that there is no end in sight.

"...Looking at the sea for a long time, thinking will become sluggish." A lazy voice sounded in Kate's ear. Kate turned her head and saw a blond beauty wearing a black sleeveless vest and shorts.

"Puna." Puna tied her long wavy hair into a ponytail, held a glass of champagne in her hand, stepped on a height of fifteen centimeters, and walked on the undulating deck without shaking at all, as if Like walking on flat ground.

Bishan smiled and approached Kate: "I'm Bishan, this is Kate."

"I heard that there are three more hunters on board, and one of them is a cute girl. After thinking about it, I decided to take a look." Puna took a sip of champagne, golden wine dripped from her bright red lips, and she looked very charming. , she looked at Bishan with a smile: "If you have any personal needs, you can come to me, I am the ship's doctor."

Bishan was taken aback, her eyes lit up: "Then you are the resident crew member on this ship."

Puna nodded: "Almost, I haven't been ashore for a long time."

Bishan clicked her tongue and said, "Generally, the pirate ships don't accept women."

I don't know when the rules and customs have been handed down. Women are not accepted on sea ships, and women are believed to bring disasters.

Bishan also had concerns before boarding the boat, so she made a lot of preparations in private, such as asking Nobu she knew to help. Nobu's ability is the space system, which can store many things, and even directly form a dimensional channel. Able to leave the ship immediately.

And Kate, this kid is Jin's apprentice. He has been a hunter for more than two years, and his strength is still in the growth stage. He has never participated in ocean exploration before, but Bishan still invited Kate to go with him.

Anyway, he is Jin's apprentice. Doesn't it mean that Jin and Captain Ace have a good relationship?If she and Captain Ace disagreed, that boy Kate might be able to act as a go-between for them to each take a step back.

But after getting on the ship, Bishan realized that the reality was much better than she thought, such as the ship doctor in front of her.

If there is a woman on the Flame sailing for a long time, then the crew on this ship should not have any prejudice or hostility towards her.

Puna giggled.

As a woman, she naturally understands Bishan's concerns.

She smiled and said, "It's okay, Captain Ace doesn't shy away from women, and even takes it for granted that a woman should be a captain."

Bishan's eyes lit up, and she also laughed: "Ah! That's really rare."

Is it rare?Ace doesn't think his idea is wrong, who said that women can't be captains of pirate ships?Think about the empress of Qiwuhai, think about the female captains of the Whitebeard Pirates...

In short, when Ace got the crew list, checked all the crew members, and eliminated some of them, he naturally started the second recruitment of crew members.

Many female pirates have come here to try. Most of the female pirates are indeed inferior to male pirates in terms of strength. In addition, Joptel attaches great importance to Ace's safety and has high requirements. In the end, only Puna as a ship doctor on board.

"The captain recruits people regardless of gender." Puna laughed. She gently shook the glass in her hand, watched the wine swirling in it, and her expression became gentle: "Actually, I was recruited as a crew member at the beginning. But unfortunately, I failed, this ship has high requirements, that bastard Dale is the bald man standing at the rudder, he defeated me and brushed me off."

As a person with the ability to read, Puna is naturally stronger than ordinary pirates, but the crew on this ship is by no means ordinary pirates.

"As a last resort, I can only use the healing properties of my mind ability to board the ship as a ship's doctor."

When Kate heard this, she couldn't help asking Puna: "Why are you so obsessed with getting on the boat?"

Puna laughed loudly, her bright red lips showed a full arc, she turned her face slightly, her golden ponytail fluttered with the sea breeze.

"Because I want to go to sea."

"The beauty of the sea can only be seen when sailing."

Bishan nodded heavily, and she also smiled: "That's right! Only by sailing can you feel the real sea!"

The two women quickly became friends. Puna invited Bishan to visit the infirmary, and Bishan readily agreed, leaving poor little Kate on the deck.

Nobu was a little seasick, so he stayed in the cabin to rest, and Kate was doing nothing alone, just as Hisoka came out of the cabin to get some fresh air, and saw Kate on the deck.

Hisoka's eyes lit up suddenly, showing an excited smile.

He leaned over.

Ace fell asleep and woke up to find that there was one more crew member on his ship.

The unlucky Kate changed into her crew uniform and was scrubbing the deck bitterly under the guidance of other crew members.

Ace was full of question marks.

Ace caught a random crew member and asked about the situation, and Ace knew what had happened.

It turned out that after Hisoka discovered Kate's delicious apple, he immediately leaned over and picked it up.

Finding something new to watch, the crew quickly gathered around and booed. Kate was young and energetic, and couldn't help Hisoka's excitement, so she agreed to practice a few hands with Hisoka after a while.

For the safety of the deck, both of them didn't need to read, and fought purely with their bodies and skills.

——Actually, it was largely because Hisoka found out that the ship was expensive, and he couldn't afford to pay for the broken deck if he stepped on it.

Hisoka and Kate fight.

Hisoka was born in Meteor Street, and after he came out, he searched for well-known fighters to hone his skills, which is much stronger than Kate's.

However, Kate has accepted Jin's teachings, her foundation is solid, her combat awareness is very keen, and her learning speed is very fast.

Kate is still a green apple now, and when the small apples become big apples, it is time to enjoy the harvest!

Hisoka started a mentoring battle.

Kate was not an idiot, and soon he discovered Hisoka's advice to him, and he was both happy and unhappy, and he played harder.

How can boys fight without getting hurt?

Oh, Hisoka tactfully covered it up with his thoughts. These minor injuries were nothing to him, but Kate was beaten a bit badly. When Puna received the news and went to the deck, the onlookers immediately dispersed. Suo Ye rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran away immediately, leaving behind only Kate whose nosebleeds could not block her eyes and her eyes were swollen.

Bishan covered her face with her hands, almost unable to bear to look directly at Kate's unlucky appearance.

Puna smiled slightly, and then burst out with a powerful thought energy. She strode forward and stuffed Kate into the medical room like an eagle catching a chicken.

After 10 minutes, Kate regained his handsome and beautiful appearance, but he looked worse than before the injury.

Bishan looked at Kate who was almost foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground, and carefully pulled out the IOU for medical treatment from Kate's hand... Hiss!Bishan gasped.

So expensive!

She looked at Kate with pity, and made a suggestion.

"Talk to the first mate, Mr. Ossey? Work in lieu of debt?"

So Kate temporarily became a crew member of the Flame, and went to work with the old crew members every day.

Knowing the cause and effect, Ace laughed uncontrollably. He shook his head and didn't care about these matters. Instead, he sent someone to invite Bishan.

Time to talk about the remains of the Barça dynasty.

"Mo Laowu told me about you, and he said that you are a very good deep diver." Ace cut to the chase: "Since we are going to explore the ruins, some preparatory work must start in advance."

Bishan was prepared when she was invited. As the initiator and main person in charge of exploring the ruins, she must at least know the route and time, so she has been waiting for this meeting since boarding the ship.

Bishan smiled and nodded: "Even if you don't say it, I plan to talk to you."

Ace scratched his head: "Ah, there have been a lot of things at sea recently, sorry."

Bishan blinked: "Is it because of Ka Jinguo?"

Ace: "Hey, has it spread?"

"Yes, there are international signals in the sea area where we are. Many friends sent me messages to ask about this."

Bishan can always keep in touch with the outside world, which is one of the reasons why she can wait patiently. Even if something happens, she can still contact her friends, right?

Ace laughed: "That's a trivial matter. Certain departments of the Kajin Kingdom have extended an olive branch to us. This matter will probably pass soon."

Bishan was shocked, and exclaimed, "So fast? Has Ka Jinguo confessed?"

Ace said casually: "Well, this is the ocean after all."

There is not only one prince in Kajin Kingdom, and Prince Komi spent those days in Kajin Kingdom in vain. He told Ace about the secret struggle among several princes in Kajin Kingdom, and the fourth-ranked Prince Cheney There are two older brothers and one older sister on the top, and a lot of younger siblings on the bottom. Because of his arrogance this time, the maritime trade of Kajin Kingdom has dropped significantly in the past half month, and many financial groups are very dissatisfied with the prince's attitude. , and even the navy had some complaints about the prince, so it didn't take long for the king of the Kajin Kingdom to reprimand Prince Cheney and signaled some domestic departments to contact the maritime forces.

Although Ace himself doesn't like this kind of thing very much, as the heir of Joptel, he always needs to understand and learn how to deal with this kind of thing, so he has been in remote contact with the Sea Emperor headquarters these days until he confirms that Kajin The country really intends to reconcile, so he handed over these matters to the headquarters for operation, and there is no need to continue to follow up for the time being.

Bishan is not clear about the entanglements inside, but she only needs to know one thing, that is, the young man in front of her really has the qualification and ability to mobilize all the forces in this vast ocean.

Her spirits lifted.

As a one-star ocean hunter, Bishan has been dealing with the ocean all year round, which means that in the future, she will often communicate with the Neptune forces on various exploration projects. If this cooperation can build a good relationship with Ace, then things will be fine in the future done.

Thinking of this, Bishan smiled even brighter.

"Ah, congratulations to you."

Eswaner: "It's nothing." He opened the chart and said, "Let me first tell you about the sailing route of the Flame."

"We're on the line right now."

On the huge map are densely packed routes, and some places are marked with black skull marks. Bishan recognized several of these sea areas as the devil sea area.

Ace said: "The relics of the Basai dynasty are here. We have set up this sea area as a forbidden sea area. No ships except pirates are allowed to enter."

Bishan looked up at Ace: "But someone has already gone in early."

Ace: "If they succeed, then we will compensate you, but they failed, so they all have to pay the price."

Bishan asked curiously: "What price will they pay? Money? Life? Contract?"

Ace grinned: "You should have heard of the unknown sea area? We pirates call it the inner sea area, and they were all sent to the inner sea area to fight little monsters."

"Wow!" Bishan let out a low cry, she tsk-tsk endlessly: "That's not a good place."

Ace shrugged: "A person with high art skills is bold."

The strength of those members of the brigade is really good. Ace has already received several news about the members of the brigade who are very suitable for going to sea.

Bishan hesitated for a moment and said, "Among those people, one called Xia Ke contacted me and said he wanted to join the exploration team, but I declined."

Ace sneered, he knew that knights would use their brains, he said: "You have the right to pursue them for cutting off the relics without authorization."

Bishan tilted her head and thought for a while: "... Listen to what you said, they are all sent to the unknown sea now, so before they come back to explore the ruins and make the results public, this is the best way to punish them .”

She blinked: "If they are willing to buy a boat ticket to participate in the underground ruins and contribute a part of the ticket price to the maintenance of the ruins, that would be great."

Ace couldn't help laughing when he saw the girl's strange appearance, and he agreed, "You're right."

He went on to explain the problem of the route.

"We need to come obliquely along the circular ocean current."

Bishan looked at the chart and said, "Are you going to give way to the wood horned whale?"

"Yes, we are going to cross the migration route of wood horned whales. Now is the migration season. Behind the wood horned whales are schools of dolphins and other fish, and migratory birds are chasing them. This is their feast. Let's avoid it for comparison. Appropriate." Ace explained: "We follow the warm current obliquely upwards, bypassing the migration route, and we can just go north along the cold seabed current that will start next month. With the push of ocean currents and monsoons, our speed will be faster than now , in terms of time... it is only a day or two later than when we go directly to the destination."

Bishan nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "It's okay, let these little cuties migrate smoothly first, it doesn't matter if I'm a little late."

She suddenly looked at Ace, showing a meaningful smile: "The keel and walls of the Flame are made of some kind of unknown giant animal bones, right? I can feel the faint coercion that was inadvertently revealed. "

As a one-star ocean hunter, Bishan is no less familiar with the sea than the old pirates, and even has a more thorough understanding than the pirates because of her reserve of theoretical knowledge.

After boarding the Flame, she has always felt uneasy. She asked Nobu and Kate, and they both felt that no one was peeping. The attitude of the crew, no matter if they were ordinary crew members, chief mates, ship doctors, or even the captain in front of them, was quite peaceful. They were not hostile and had no reason to be hostile to her.

So why does she still feel dangerous?

There is only one possibility, the danger comes from the ship itself, and the Flame is the source of her uneasiness.

Migration of sea creatures is a common occurrence. Generally speaking, when a ship encounters migratory creatures, it will stop using machinery to start the turbine, switch to artificial navigation or stop temporarily, and continue to move forward after the sea creature migratory troops leave.

However, Ace chose to bypass the migration route.

Why?There is only one answer, the ship that brought Bishan a lot of anxiety will also make migratory creatures uneasy, and even make these creatures change their migration routes.

What kind of behemoth could unsettle sea creatures collectively?Combined with the unknown sea that Ace said before, there is only one answer.

The keel of this ship comes from mighty creatures of uncharted seas!

Bishan sighed sincerely.

"No wonder the Flame is known as the ship favored by the sea. The fierce beast has transformed the world. This is really an incomparably powerful giant beast. Even if it is dead and only bones are left, the coercion revealed when the shield is removed can still arouse the world. climate change."

Ace glanced at Bishan in surprise, this was one of the reasons why someone was able to speculate about the magic of the Flame for the first time.

Bishan really deserves the title of one-star ocean hunter.

He smiled like he stole the sweetest candy from Santa Claus.

"You guessed it right! Please don't spread the word~"

Ace rarely showed a bit of childish complacency, after all, this was the result of his expeditions in the past few years.

"If it gets out, governments and countries all over the world will be angry."

Bishan's eyes widened slightly, and then the black pupils were filled with a smile.

She nodded again and again, showing a smile similar to Ace: "I understand, I understand! Those who have never come from the sea are not worthy of knowing such things!"

"By the way, although you have made a disguise, if there are Eudemons hunters on board, they may still find the problem." Bishan said to Ace: "I know a kind of seaweed, which has a strong shielding and neutralizing effect. And characteristics, I will give you the seeds later, you can try to plant them on the ship, this kind of seaweed will not corrode the ship, and even secrete a kind of mucus, which can strengthen the deck of the ship and increase the overall flexibility of the ship.”

Ace's eyes lit up: "Really? Thank you so much!"

Bishan giggled: "You're welcome, I will need you to take care of me in the future."

Bishan hummed a ditty and left the captain's room in a bouncing manner.

The conversation with Ace made the girl very happy, she thought, no wonder Ace and Jin became friends, and Mo Laowu also patted his chest and promised that it would be absolutely fine.

In the past, Bishan sneered at the behavior of the pirates and had concerns about the existence of the King of the Sea, but now... If Ace can really become the uncrowned king of the sea in the future, it will be a happy thing.

It's decided, starting today, Ace is also her friend~

The next journey was very smooth. After Bishan relieved her worries, she quickly got along with the crew. She is an ocean hunter, and she knows a lot of things that the crew knew but didn't understand. When I consulted Bishan about the phenomenon, Bishan could almost give reasonable explanations and answers. Her abundant knowledge and rich experience were quickly recognized by the crew, and even Ace would listen to Bishan's class when he was free. .

Ace admires Bishan very much. This girl is familiar with everything about the ocean, such as climate, ocean currents, organisms, water resources, underwater topography, ocean plate movement... etc. The girl has done research on everything related to the ocean. She even Be familiar with and be able to speak [-]% of the languages ​​of the coastal countries fluently, and have a general understanding of the customs and cultures of these countries.

Bishan successfully gained the friendship and recognition of the Flame, and a large number of new phone numbers were added to her mobile phone.

Kate is overwhelmed by Bishan's results.

Nob said to Kate: "See? Power is important, but so is knowledge."

Recently, Kate has been fighting Hisoka every day, and her strength has improved rapidly, but now seeing Bishan's high spirits among the crew, Kate suddenly felt a little uneasy.

After this expedition is over, is he going to enroll in a community college?

Hisoka scoffed at the thought.

"Strong strength is the guarantee of survival. If you die, you will have nothing." He pointed to Ace as a model: "Look, even if pirates are uneducated, so what? You can still become the uncrowned king of the sea!"

Kate's eyes fell on Ace.

Ace, who was listening to Bishan explaining the common habits of cetaceans, turned his head and glanced at Hisoka, and said slowly, "Kate, don't listen to Hisoka's nonsense, you should read if you have the chance."

Kate was taken aback.

"I still have a high school diploma." Ace sneered, "Hisuo, did you go to elementary school?"

Hisoka: "..."
