Witch?
First, you have to be a woman!
Everyone who gathered around was stunned by Du Ge’s shameless remarks.
People who have traded with Selma will become abnormal, it’s true…
Of course.
It’s also possible that Paul traded that thing to Selma.
You know, the sea is big, and there are all kinds of fish!
“…” Akbar choked for a moment, with undisguised mockery in his eyes, “Then I wish Captain Paul a long way on the witch’s path.”
“Thank you for the blessing of Captain Snow Dragon.” Du Ge smiled, “But, before boarding the ship, can I know your name?”
“Akbar Bar.” Akbar Bar said.
Du Ge looked at the Latin number next to him.
“Deep Latin.” The captain of the Latin ship is a bearded man of indeterminate age.
“Walter Herman.” Herman’s captain also reported his name.
“Rando Achel.” Achel’s captain looked gloomy, feeling that he had suffered unjustly, and transferred all his anger to Paul.
“Levan Lees.”
The captain of the seal ship looked about the same age as Paul, and his loss was the smallest among all the ships. Therefore, he was not very angry. His eyes have been wandering over the witches of the Snow Angel, and finally settled on the witch next to Du Ge.
“Please, captains, board the ship.” Du Ge smiled, looked around, and said, “In order to avoid causing more unpleasantness, I suggest that each captain bring only one deputy. I swear in the name of the sea god that I will never take action against you.”
He shrugged and smiled, “After all, if I wanted to kill you, I could have just fired a shot earlier, couldn’t I?”
The innocent smile infected Akbar Bar opposite him, and he smiled too: “Of course, I believe in Captain Paul’s character.”
“Barry, take a ship to rescue those crew members who fell into the water.” Du Ge smiled again and turned to Barry to give orders, “Pirates should help each other. If they are not rescued, those poor guys will probably drown.”
Barry was stunned. Didn’t you say to let them soak for a while?
…
Barry commanded the Clownfish No. 1 to rescue people.
Several captains and their deputies climbed aboard Du Ge’s Smiling Angel Number.
Du Ge’s eyes passed over them one by one, showing no signs of anything unusual.
A few people had a faint smell of alcohol on them, but at sea, the crew drinking to numb themselves was nothing out of the ordinary.
“Thank you all for your trust in me.” Du Ge elegantly bowed to the captains, smiling at everyone, “You chased me here because of the witch. But there is no hatred between us, is there?”
“Captain Paul, I now want to know the clue to the sea god’s scepter.” Rando, the captain of the Achel, said in a muffled voice, “Let the real witch come out, we want to meet her.”
“Captain Rando, I am the witch. I can tell you the clue directly.” Du Ge smiled at him, “To find the sea god’s scepter, you must first gather seven pieces of the Fate Sea Map. After piecing together a complete Fate Sea Map, you can find the Golden Compass according to the instructions on the map. Then, the Golden Compass will guide you to find the sea god’s scepter.”
All the captains were stunned.
The henchman of the gingerbread vendor instinctively grasped the hilt of his scimitar, and he almost couldn’t help but make a move against Paul.
He could foresee that the news of this group of people leaving with the sea god’s scepter would immediately cause a great chaos among all the pirates.
He had to take Paul down before the chaos erupted, he wanted to enjoy Paul’s attributes alone.
Causing such a big chaos, Paul’s ranking must be very high.
So.
He only had one chance!
He had to make a move when Paul was most relaxed.
…
“Is what you said true?”
“Is it that simple?”
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was Rando from the Achel, and the other was Captain Levan Lees of the Seal.
“Of course it’s true.” Du Ge smiled and looked at the two, “And you have the most accurate information. Those who have consulted the witch before only got the clue to find the Fate Sea Map. They don’t even know what to do next after getting the Fate Sea Map. If you don’t believe it, you can go find them to verify.”
“Why did you tell us such important information directly?” Akbar Bar asked.
“Very simple, because the person behind the witch, Mahamadu, has a piece of the Fate Sea Map. And he wants to use the power of all the pirates to help him find the other six pieces of the Fate Sea Map.” Du Ge smiled and continued, “So, no matter what, you can’t gather all seven pieces of the Fate Sea Map.
Unless everyone can unite and defeat Mahamadu.
Otherwise, even if you find the Fate Sea Map, you will only be making a wedding dress for Mahamadu, because you are not possible opponents of the King of the East Sea. The reason I kidnapped the witch is because I don’t want everyone to be busy and do nothing.”
“Levan, I have always said that pirates like us cannot win in this game.” The first mate behind Levan Lees frowned, “Let’s quit this game!”
“I don’t believe what you said.” Levan Lees looked at Du Ge and questioned.
“What he said is true.” Martha, Hoya suddenly lifted the cloak on her head, took off her veil, stretched out her right hand, and a six-pointed star floated in her palm. She looked at everyone with a face of hatred and said loudly, “Mahamadu killed my mother, forced me to do things for him, he is my enemy, and I don’t want to work for him, so I voluntarily let Captain Paul take me away. I don’t want Mahamadu to get the sea god’s scepter, so I will never be able to take revenge.”
The six-pointed star proved the witch’s identity, and the captains’ suspicions disappeared instantly.
Including Akbar Bar, everyone fell into contemplation. They had to make a choice between the elusive sea god’s scepter and Mahamadu.
“So, you told us the clue, but you don’t really want us to find the Fate Sea Map.” Herman’s captain frowned and asked, “Can I understand that you want to monopolize the witch and then get the Fate Sea Map…””Captain Walter, don’t forget, I am also a witch. I simply sympathize with Martha’s plight, which is why I decided to lend a hand,” Du Ge said with a smile, his gentle gaze turning towards Martha as he spoke softly.
“Stop talking such nonsense. No man can ever become a witch,” Levon Lys stood up, angrily declaring, “Unless you let me take the witch away, I will never believe it.”
“Captain Levon, taking the witch away means you’ll be making enemies with everyone. Can you bear the consequences?” Du Ge turned to Levon Lys, gesturing towards the multitude of pirate ships that had surrounded them, and said, “If you have the courage to face the consequences and ensure the witch’s safety, I might let you take Martha away…”
“He’s a coward; I won’t leave with him,” Martha Hoya said disdainfully, sparing him no courtesy with a contemptuous glance.
Levon Lys’s face turned red in an instant, and he sheepishly lowered his head, not daring to make such a promise.
With a single sentence.
The idea of snatching the witch from everyone’s mind was dispelled. Paul was right; at this moment, whoever took the witch would become the enemy of all.
“So, you will tell everyone the clue, right?” the captain of the Herman asked.
“Yes, the opportunity is fair for everyone, as is life. I would rather trade the clue to the Trident of the Sea God for Martha’s freedom and safety,” Du Ge said, looking at Martha Hoya with affection, then turned his head to Walter, “Captain Walter, actually, there’s another reason why I’m telling you this.”
“What is it?” Walter asked.
“Not everyone has the chance to wield the Trident of the Sea God, but everyone has the chance to obtain wealth,” Du Ge said with a smile, once again surveying the crowd, “Indeed, you are no match for Mahamadou. But some are, like the King of the South Sea, Safran, and the King of the North Sea, Roland Swan. Their power is enough to contend with Mahamadou. Moreover, they will not allow Mahamadou to obtain the Trident of the Sea God and disrupt the balance of the four seas. I think they would be more than willing to spend a large sum of money to purchase a piece of the Sea Fate Map.”
Hiss!
The captains, who had already fallen into despair, took a sharp breath, suddenly understanding Paul’s intention. He wanted to use this opportunity to provoke a war among the Kings of the Four Seas, to avenge his girlfriend, Martha Hoya.
That’s right.
No one believed that Paul had become a witch.
From the way he looked at Martha, it was clear that the fool had fallen in love.
Only love could drive a person mad, make him disregard all consequences, and snatch Martha from Mahamadou’s control, even if it meant making enemies of the entire world.
But it must be said.
Paul’s proposal was indeed brilliant. Gold coins are a pirate’s life. Since the Trident of the Sea God was out of their reach, why not trade the Sea Fate Map for a fortune they could never spend?
