The Sea Gem, Pirate Treasure, and the Garou Pirates

Chapter 475 The Sea Gem, Pirate Treasure, and the Garou Pirates

a long time.

Zhu Yu snapped out of his daze. A cool sea breeze carrying the salty smell brushed against his face. He glanced at the villagers busily unloading their catch and the pirates guarding the boat, then leaped up and landed lightly on the mast of the wooden ship like a wild goose.

This powerful control drew cheers from the pirates standing on the beach, wielding wooden sticks and rusty knives, supervising the fishermen as they moved their catch.

"Roar—"

"As expected of the captain who conquered 'Umi-maru-Umi-mura,' he's amazing."

"The captain is a 'great pirate' with a bounty of five taels of silver! He's destined to be a renowned powerhouse in the 'Endless Sea'—"

"Haha, with such a strong person by our side, we must work hard too!"

"But our talents are like rotten wood, far inferior to yours, sir. We only hope that you will not find us a burden—"

'

'

The pirates, dressed in tattered clothes, were filled with excitement. Looking at the majestic man standing on the mast of the ship, who resembled a griffin, their admiration was almost overflowing.

Exaggerated praise poured out like it was free.

On the mast.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu's lips twitched slightly, but he pretended not to hear it, gazing at the distant, undulating ocean with a smile in his eyes.

"What an interesting 'otherworldly spiritual ruin'!"

Based on the memories of the body "Tang Jin" that it occupied.

This "Otherworldly Spirit Ruins" does not contain a real continent; it consists entirely of islands, because even the largest continent is but a drop in the ocean of the "Endless Sea."

The Endless Sea contains countless treasures.

There are strange sea beasts with powerful bodies, hundreds or even thousands of feet long, and strange herbs that, when consumed, make one's body stronger and larger.

There are also the "Sea Gems," which are both a gift and a curse of the sea. Each gem contains the power to transform an ordinary person into a "great pirate."

Besides.

The sea also holds countless pirate treasures, some containing deadly dangers, others unimaginable riches of gold, silver, jewels, sea gems, and powerful weapons.

Countless people dream of going out to sea in search of treasure.

He dreamed of finding a pirate treasure, becoming rich overnight, becoming a superior person, and enjoying all the riches and honors.

The body he occupies, "Tang Jin," is one of countless pirates with dreams.

However, he lacked luck. He set sail at sixteen, struggled for twenty years, and boarded one pirate ship after another.

Not only did they not make much money, they also failed to build a reputation.

He barely managed to earn a five-tael bounty from the World Government by joining the "Garou" Pirates and becoming the sixth division commander.

But don't underestimate this "five taels" reward.

It doesn't seem like much.

In reality, he is someone that 90% of pirates look up to.

According to the regulations of the "World Government".

Only those who possess qi (vital energy) are qualified to have a bounty placed on their head.

Could the "Gem of the Sea" be a "Primordial Spiritual Object"?

Zhu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

According to the memories in the body, the captain of the "Sea Wolf" pirate crew was a great pirate who possessed the power of the "Sea Gem".

When fighting other pirate crews, it suddenly transformed into a gray wolf nearly ten feet long. It was as fast as the wind, and even when it was attacked by swords, its defenses could not be broken.

In just a few breaths.

He then slaughtered the entire pirate crew.

And based on bodily memory.

Despite the strength of the "Garou" pirate captain, he was not even considered a top-tier pirate in the "West Blue" and could only bully some fishing villages.

They don't even dare to meet the World Government's navy.

"No rush, let's improve our strength first—"

Zhu Yu suppressed his surging thoughts and focused his gaze on himself.

An information panel appeared.

[Eye Focus: Tang Jin "Zhu Yu"]

Lifespan: 36/87

[Physical Strength: 1.3, Vitality: 0.5]

[Status: Virtual]

"gas--"

With a slight thought, a faint, intense heat surged from Zhu Yu's heart. When it reached his palm, he immediately felt that both the strength and defense of his palm had increased by 50%.

He clenched his fist, his eyes thoughtful.

"Is the power of Qi used to strengthen the body?"

And according to the information panel display.

The amount of Qi determines the extent of the strengthening effect.

Simply put...

The stronger the physique, the stronger the enhancement effect of Qi; the stronger the Qi, the stronger the enhancement effect.

One determines the base number, and the other determines the upper limit.

"Not bad, not bad, interesting—"

Zhu Yu chuckled, his gaze fixed on the "Physical Strength" and "Qi" sections, silently reciting in his mind: "Establish a model, analyze and deduce methods to rapidly enhance 'Physical Strength' and 'Qi'."

next moment.

A message appeared.

[Food: 10 catties of exotic sea monster meat "daily", 1 stalk of sour grass "daily", 1 catty of giant kelp "daily", 1 sea wolf flower "monthly".]

[Training: Swing a knife in the sea a thousand times daily, swim a hundred miles daily, squat a thousand times in ten meters of sea depth daily.]

[The "unknown breathing method" is being developed in three days.]

"Eat, practice, and use breathing techniques—"

Zhu Yu wasn't surprised by the first two, but this "unknown breathing technique" puzzled him, prompting him to search for related memories.

soon.

He then found memories about "breathing techniques" in his body's memory.

It was a sunny and breezy midday.

The body stole a small sailboat and went to sea to become a pirate. While wandering at sea, he accidentally encountered a cold-faced swordsman who was also alone in a boat and carried a greatsword.

There was no conversation.

The swordsman appeared on his ship in an instant, took half of the food, struck a few strange poses at him, and then drifted away.

"There were some opportunities, but unfortunately I didn't seize them—"

Zhu Yu shook his head slightly.

He dissected the memories frame by frame from the body and discovered that the swordsman's teleportation was not a Sea Gem ability similar to the "Ghost Wolf Gang" leader's transformation into a wolf, but rather relied entirely on his inhumanly powerful body to tear through the air and instantly arrive at the ship where the body was located.

"Lowest level two—"

As Zhu Yu thought this through, he caught a glimpse of the fishing village villagers finishing their catch, leaping off the railing, and shouting, "Men, set sail! Back to Hungry Wolf Island!"

"roar!"

"Go back, go back."

"The civet wine is beckoning to me—"

Dressed in tattered clothes, not much better off than the villagers, the pirates boarded the ship in droves. Some pirates stepped on bamboo baskets filled with fish, skillfully lowered the sails, and untied the towing ropes, while the others ran into the cabin.

Accompanied by shouts.

With oars extending from both sides of the ten-meter-long boat, moving up and down, the boat slowly left the dock and sailed towards the vast and magnificent sea.

The sails were swaying.

With the help of the wind, the ship's speed increased dramatically and it quickly disappeared on the sea.

And at the dock.

The villagers, who had spent half a day carrying their catch, watched the pirate ship disappear into the distance. After a few moments of silence, they began to shout.

"Those damned pirates stole all the dried fish I made!"

"What's that compared to what I finally caught? That 'sea beast,' a sharp-tailed carp worth ten taels of silver, was stolen by that damned 'Hungry Wolf' pirate crew!"

"My radishes weren't even fully grown yet, and they've all been pulled up—"

'

'

The fishermen talked and shouted.

One of them suddenly said, "If this continues, 'Sea Maru Village' will be looted by them sooner or later. Why don't we hire a 'pirate' hunter?!"

These words were spoken.

The bustling dock came to an abrupt halt.

"Please, pirate hunter—"

The fishermen looked at each other, their eyes filled not with approval but with fear.

"Old Hai, are you crazy?"

"Don't you know how ruthless the 'Garou' Pirates are?"

"Beyduck Village hired Pirate Hunters to deal with the Garou Pirates, but they were all eaten by Garou Joel—"

"Not to mention 'Hungry Wolf' Joel, even the captain of the 'Hungry Wolf' Pirates just now was a great pirate with a bounty of 'five taels' of silver. He could wipe out 'Sea Maru Village' all by himself—"

The villagers of the fishing village strongly objected to the middle-aged villager named Hai Laowu spending money to hire a "pirate hunter".

""

Just then.

A clear and melodious voice rang out.

"Do you intend to continue supporting the 'Garou' Pirates indefinitely?"

The villagers turned to look.

Then they saw a red-haired girl, hands on her hips, glaring at them with anger and disappointment.

How much grain is left in the village?

"The high tide will come in another month, and we won't be able to go out to sea for three months. If they come again and we don't have enough food, are we going to starve to death?"

'

'

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.

A gentle-looking middle-aged man spoke up: "Haili, don't worry, I'll have Xiaohu bring some food to your family later. You and your siblings won't starve."

"Yeah yeah--"

"Your aunt's family also has some stored grain; we'll send some over to you siblings later."

"The 'Ghost Wolf' Pirates won't let us starve. They even want us to help them catch and dry fish, and grow vegetables—"

"

""

The villagers, one after another, calmed down after the two men spoke, fearing that the villagers might actually hire a "pirate hunter".

after all.

The "pirate crew" eats people.

"Pirate Hunter" is no pushover either.

"you--"

Hailey stared at them, then suddenly lowered her hand weakly, her face full of disappointment, and said, "You've disappointed Hailey so much—"

'

"Haley would rather starve than take your food—"

He left those words behind and turned to run towards the village.

"Ha ha--"

The villagers looked at each other, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Don't you want them to give you food?

The siblings.

He dreamed of becoming a navy officer, but instead of working, he spent his days wildly hacking away with a wooden sword. After several years of this training, he was beaten to tears by the village guard.

One dreamed of becoming a navigator, doing no manual labor, just drifting on the sea on a broken wooden plank every day.

So many years.

Without their help, the siblings would have starved to death long ago.

The villagers took it as just her anger, exchanged a few words with her, and then went about their own business.

In the center of the village.

Inside a dilapidated wooden hut.

Hailey, hands on her hips, glared at the speechless-looking boy and hissed, "Haiping, are you going to do it or not?"

Young Haiping frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Sister, I'm going to be a navy man, how can I steal Uncle and Aunt's money?"

""

"Uncle and aunt? Hah—they're just ignorant fools."

Hailey scoffed dismissively. Seeing her brother frown, she changed her tune, "How could it be stealing? We borrowed their money to hire 'Pirate Hunters' to eliminate the 'Sea Wolf' pirate crew who robbed 'Sea Maru Village'."

She paused, then added enticingly, "Little brother, think about it: what if you led the 'Pirate Hunters' to wipe out the 'Sea Wolf' Pirates, and then took 'Sea Wolf' Joel's head to apply to the Navy—"

They will definitely hire you—

Haiping struggled for a moment, then stood up, looked at his sister, and said firmly, "I did it for 'Sea Maru Village'."

"It's all for 'Sea Maru Village'."

"6

Hailey nodded seriously.

He finished speaking.

The siblings discussed how to steal money from the villagers.

It is 300 nautical miles away from "Sea Maru Village".

"Wow, the captain is amazing! How far has she swum?!"

"We've already covered thirty nautical miles—"

"The captain is truly amazing! Cheers to the captain!"

on the deck.

The pirates looked at the figure struggling to swim in the sea not far from the bow of the ship and exclaimed in admiration, while gulping down ginger-yellow fruit wine and spewing praise as if it were free.

We swam about five more nautical miles.

Zhu Yu plunged into the sea, and soon surfaced, pulling himself up with a piece of yellowish-green seaweed. When the boat arrived, he grabbed the edge of the boat and leaped out of the water.

Ignore the pirates' amazement and praise.

He grabbed some seaweed from the water, stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite, and chewed it expressionlessly, then reached out to touch the dried fish piled on the deck one by one.

When he touched a dried fish that was a meter long and had a tail like scissors, a smile appeared on his face. He pulled it out, sat on a stool that a pirate had brought out, and ate a bite of giant seaweed and a bite of strange sea beast meat.

Swallow into the stomach.

With the aid of his powerful divine sense, he quickly digested it, turning it into a wisp of heat that surged throughout his body and was then rapidly absorbed by his hungry and tired muscles and flesh.

Seeing how much he enjoyed his meal, the pirates each grabbed a dried salted fish, not minding the saltiness. They took a sip of fruit wine and a bite of salted fish, and before long, they were boasting loudly.

"Phew—that's about it—"

After eating his fill, Zhu Yu put down the giant kelp and the dried strange sea beast, exhaled softly, and felt his slightly enhanced physique, a strange light appearing in his eyes.

"Such a powerful digestive and adaptive capacity!"

After eating just a few bites of meat and seaweed, he felt all his fatigue disappear and he regained his energy and vitality.

This incredible recovery speed is truly astonishing.

"With this level of resilience, we could consider breeding it—"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhu Yu stood up and gazed into the distance.

We could only see it a few miles away.

A lush, green island came into view.

can be seen.

No fewer than ten boats of various sizes were moored along the edge of the island. The largest of them was over 300 meters long, and a "wolf head" flag fluttered in the wind on its mast.

That is the headquarters of the "Sea Wolf" pirate crew.

"Seawolf Island".

The boats approached the dock.

Soon, several ragged pirates came running over. Seeing Zhu Yu disembark, they all called out, "Lord Jin!"

One of the pirates shouted, "Lord Jin, the captain is calling you over. Leave these chores to us."

"Ten strips for each person."

Zhu Yu nodded slightly, said a few words, and then, amidst the cheers of the pirates, strode towards the dilapidated buildings along the coast.

We've traveled all the way here.

The patrolling pirates all nodded and greeted him.

soon.

Zhu Yu arrived at one of the buildings that barely resembled a house, but was actually more like a warehouse. As soon as he got close, he heard a strange, croaking laugh, like that of a night owl, coming from inside.

Push open the door.

His gaze quickly locked onto a man who was over two meters tall, thin as a skeleton, wearing a floral shirt, barefoot, with a fierce and menacing look, like a wolf among men.

"Joel the Hungry Wolf."

"This aura... second tier?"
