Pirate Kingship-Chapter 702 - 472: Begging on Their Knees? Mad Hunt Goes Live!

But what was worshipped here was neither a cross nor a saint's statue, but a life-sized bronze statue of a Cyclops, styled exactly like a cult.

The ship also displayed recruitment banners, seemingly intending to seize upon the opening of the Southern Continent route to continue recruiting manpower for a major undertaking.

The Fourth Order Pirate Warlord Dung Eater One-Eyed Owl, who looked identical to the bronze statue, was also the owner of this pirate ship. He stood on the prominent stern gallery, passionately delivering a speech to his subordinate crew and the large group of free pirates:

"Opportunities only favor those who are prepared.

As long as you have enough money prepared, you can meet many wise people to learn from their wisdom, then use this wisdom to earn more money, and then use that money to meet even wiser people.

If this cycle repeats, you can spiral upwards, eventually becoming wiser than the wisest and richer than the richest.

Understand the applause!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!...

Driven by the fervent crew, a large group of pirates stared fixedly at him and clapped together.

"Now, an opportunity lies right before you.

Join my pirate group; each of you only needs to hand over ninety-nine gold coins as an entry fee, and I will impart my wisdom to you.

The old crew knows many have betrayed me in the past.

But what did I do? I directly gave him a thousand pounds.

I give a thousand pounds to those who betray me, and those loyal to me will easily earn tens of thousands of pounds, understand the applause!"

"Remember, the amount of foolish money you've spent determines the extent of your grace.

Spending tens of thousands of pounds foolishly, earning hundreds of thousands of pounds when doing real work, isn't that a laughing matter? Understand the applause!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!...

Amidst thunderous applause, many free pirates generously emptied their pockets, using ninety-nine gold coins to sell themselves to the Suffering Cathedral.

Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not, after choosing to embrace this "wise man," all their worries and troubles suddenly vanished, their hearts gradually filled with fervent, passionate resolve.

Only one word echoed in their minds repeatedly: "Success! Success! Success!"

This is precisely Dung Eater's title ability Great Impurity:

"He can consume others' negative emotions and various soul impureness, chew them up, then feed them back to other people or objects through language forms.

The final result can create a meme-like pollution effect, making artificial Fallen Ones or Cursed Objects, while he remains unscathed.

Most of those polluted Unlucky Ghosts will become fanatic followers of One-Eyed Owl, willing to complete his commands at the cost of family fortune or life."

Dung Eater One-Eyed Owl looked at the effect of this speech, nodded with satisfaction:

"Earlier, exploring new routes in the Shattered Isles wasted too many followers, now finally I can recover some.

Now the Southern Continent has opened, there are four Fourth Order Pirate Warlords choosing to return to Black Sails Harbor to develop along with me: Goat Captain Alex, Thief Baron Valyrian, Candy Witch Ivanka.

With this aggregated strength, even the Treasure Fleet of the Kingdom of Castilia might be within reach.

Unfortunately, though we trail behind their treasure shipments each year with dissatisfaction, we've never caught its tail.

The title special effect Treasure Ship's Key is truly without loopholes, completely unsolvable.

We are temporarily uncertain who the three Keepers of Secrets arranged by the People of Castilia are, or if there's any opportunity to act.

Even with a one percent chance, I genuinely do not want that world's largest treasure to slip away from in front of me.

If someone can achieve the impossible, succeeded in looting a Treasure Fleet that has never been successfully looted, wouldn't the Pirate King of Bantaan Archipelago and Sapphire Sea be born because of this?"

While One-Eyed Owl was envisioning this beautiful scene falling upon himself, he suddenly heard a commotion around him and instinctively turned his head to look at the sea beyond the harbor.

To his astonishment, he found a Fourth-Level "nominal battleship" with fifty standard cannons approaching slowly.

At the bow stood a very iconic figurehead of a girl holding a flaming red rose.

Involuntarily, he squinted his eyes:

"Is this... the Flame Rose of Pirate King Whale Hunters' daughter, Bayfolk Princess Violet?

Why is she here?"
