Chapter 571: Surpassing the raging gales of stormy seas with a wandering idleness
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Despite listening to the warning from that pirate, the other pirates yawned lazily.
Following that, a tired Philip with bloodshot eyes strolled out to assume his post and issued a command.
"Full speed ahead then."
The eyes of that pirate bulged with horror, thinking that he had misheard Philip’s command.
However, the other pirates dove into action as they sounded the horns and raised the two sails! The enthusiastic paddlers jabbed their long and broad paddles deep into the seawater, before pushing it backwards. Splashes and white foam continued beating against the ship’s bow.
"Yer’ll are nuts!! Blimey tis’ world be rottin’ me mind!"
That pirate shrugged off the comrade he was grabbing as he pounced towards a besiding mast in fear; before tightly hugging against it. During the fifteen years of his pirate career, he had seen at least eight unfortunate buckos falling overboard due to violent collisions; only two of them had survived. He was absolutely unwilling to become the ninth.
All of sudden, the entire ship tremored slightly.
The situation could be described in this manner – if a mug was fully filled to the brim with rum and placed on the table, only some droplets would spill out from the tip.
Still tightly hugging the mast, that pirate became stunned momentarily. Then, he scanned his surroundings with an enlightened gaze. However, he immediately noticed the warped and laughing countenance of his comrades, the unbridled piercing laughters echoing in his ears.
"Arggh ahaha, yet another one."
"Look at his miserable state."
"Hornswaggers, he be our matey. Stop bloody laughin’ at others, you weren’t any better last night when we collided yer idiot."
""
"...."
Listening to the commotion of others around, that pirate gradually loosened his grip. His face was still filled with amazement and delay.
"This….the collision ended just like that?"
A confidant of his strolled over and yawned widely. This confidant appeared rather fatigue and was probably a member who took the night shift last night.
"Aye."
"But, might that wolf fang reef just vanished?" That pirate inquired curiously.
"Of course it broke!" The other pirate nonchalantly replied. "From two the last night, we be sailin’ through this sea of reefs. The collision yer just experienced been goin’ on for dozens of times since last night. Yer didn’t sense the bumps aye, yer lazy swine? This signifies those reefs aren’t a match for the hull of our old matey."
"The hardness of those reefs be inferior to the hull of our old matey!" Another pirate raised his brows as he reiterated the words.
"Aye, me loves that phrase. Let me tell ye, me bucko. Our ship wouldn’t sink even if it sails to the underworld! It be said a tamed devil lives within our ship. I believe it won’t be long before the three legendary pirate ships becomes the four legendary pirate ships!"
By now, Philips was already engaging in his taskings with Blacksail. Concurrently, Sheyan was eavesdropping by the side.
"Our current navigation is actually a straight route towards the coordinates of the treasure island. Since last night, we’ve already entered the treacherous rocky region of the phantom sea isles. Fortunately, these submerged reefs that are like predators and heavenly moats to other ships, are utterly useless against us."
"You cannot say it that way, actually." Spike suddenly trudged out with a serious tone. "I’ve just made checks at the ship’s bow. Our ship does sustain damages from those reefs, except, the Dingyuan possessed its own formidable mending capabilities. Hence, any real damage hasn’t manifested yet."
"But this state will not persist for long. Because to sustain its mending regeneration speed, the Dingyuan has already exhausted half of the flesh essence absorbed from the legendary creatures. Once those fleshy essence are fully drained, the bottom of our ship will similarly sustain grave damages when crashing against 2-3 clusters of Wolf Fang Reefs. More crucially, there hasn’t been a sighting of any sea creature in this ghastly place, I reckon it would be hard to replenish the mending speed of the Dingyuan."
After Sheyan heard Spike’s analysis, he glanced towards Taitish who was by his side. Taitish then nodded in taciturn approval of Spike’s explanation.

Sheyan then muttered.
"Let me revise the statement regarding the devoid of creatures here in the phantom sea isles. It isn’t that there are no creatures, but the majority of them have been hunted down. No doubt, if we wish to advance deeper into the phantom sea isles, there is no need for us to play the predator. Those insatiable and famished damnable beasts would naturally hunt us down."
"From now onwards, Davies, you shall be in charge of supervising our blind old man, he is not permitted to have more drinks. Garlic and other spices would also impair his sense of smell. If he is hungry, give him butter, water and bread. Make sure he is more mindful of movements in our surroundings! Right now, the maximum limit of what we can deal with, is a tier-6 legendary creature. Tier-7 and above may deal us devastatingly fatal losses. Therefore, it is essential for us to have the first move, so that I can chase them off without unnecessary casualties."
The pirates on scene were all aware of the relationship between Sheyan and the Kraken Paul. Hence, they held no doubts towards his ability to chase away legendary creatures.
Davies was presently the most zealous and loyal follower of Sheyan. With him supervising the old blind man, Sheyan could guarantee there wouldn’t be a slip-up. Nevertheless, the old man would have to bear with this torment for a day or two.
Yet at this moment, a rumble abruptly boomed from the skies. The impression it emanated felt like a gigantuous heavyweight mining roller slowly rolling along the sky, unceasing for all eternity. The sky quickly turned dark as though sun masked by the overcast clouds and mist, had suddenly extinguished.
Next came the violent gales and the imminent outpouring of a torrential rain. "Pitter platter deng da deng!"
Instantaneously, blunt sounds of frying beans could be heard on the deck.
Hailstones were shockingly raining down at this moment!
In a flash, everyone’s expression sank drastically. Instead, Sheyan immediately issued his orders.
"All hands retract from the deck!"
"Loose the dual anchors!"
"Immediately retrieve the Baladine Bloodsail, let the dead weight of the ship return!"
"Taitish, prepare to activate the strength of the ‘Deep Sea Giant Tendons’!"
Sheyan’s order descended profoundly like an electric switch, as it speedily obtained the most effective implementations.
Black light shone from Taitish’s hands as she chanted while holding onto her new crystal ball. Then, a black shine could be seen as those enormous vasculars that winded around the ship’s surface–the tendons of the Sea Giant–started rapidly squirming. The sails across the Dingyuan were swiftly folded up while the vasculars experienced contractions.
In a twinkling of an eye, the entire ship had seemingly transformed into a gigantic, sleek and sealed coffin; five lonely masts stood erected atop the ship, like five disdainful middle fingers mocking the electrifying skies.
The sea billowed furiously, but the Dingyuan remained like a nail that was steadily hammered onto the sea surface.
Within the ship’s hold, laughters of the pirates could be heard mixing with the whistling wind. Some had started drinking in their merriment and gambling. They currently possessed a deep seated belief that an outrageously powerful diabolical devil was residing in their ship, a devil that had been convinced by their captain to obediently protect them.
Several bold pirates even tied hawsers to their bare bodies as they balanced at the ship’s bow, waving their fists and blustering loudly towards the sea; ridiculing the damnable storm. They resembled primitive barbaric races like the vikings. Once they could curb the phobia in their heart, they would naturally gain confidence to prevail and their battle powers would be enhanced greatly.
This tempestuous storm raged on for more than an hour. However, it failed to deter the impregnable Dingyuan and helplessly receded.
Once again, the phantom sea isles returned to its greyish hazy state. Sheyan then commanded an inspection of the ship before they continued advancing into the depths of the phantom sea isles.
During the following twenty-four hour period, the Dingyuan constantly met with various problems. One of which was those giant sargassum they previously encountered. If Sheyan’s flagship was still the Hill Maiden, then that would’ve been a thorny problem because the area of giant sargassum was much greater this time.
Sadly, the occult magic of the Dingyuan automatically went into full motion, effortlessly decomposing the vegetation and extracting its life essence. Although the decomposing rate to extract the sargassum essence wasn’t as rapid as fleshy essence, it was still sufficient for the ship to decompose a pathway to continue navigating.
After channeling through the sea of sargassum, they suffered a campaign by a legendary sea creature – the assault of an incredibly savage Flag Swordfish.
Even the speed of an average swordfish could reach close to a hundred kilometres per hour, could one imagine the horrifying momentous of a Flag Swordfish? A legendary creature whose upper jaw was as long and sharp as a stunning cutlass. Ordinary ships couldn’t even avoid the treacherous submerged reefs, yet those reefs provided additional cover for the swordfishes.
When dealing with the swordfishes, Sheyan’s pirate crew finally felt the strain. Fortunately, the ‘Greenland Lethal weapon’ once again unleashed its might as it fatally injured two swordfishes.
Following that, Sheyan produced his ultimate weapon and tossed ‘Ambition’ into the sea after bundling it with a rope.
Within an instant, the aura of the hegemon of all legendary sea creatures, Kraken Paul, permeated towards all directions. Even a tier-7 Flag Swordfish stagnated where it was and eventually retreated resentfully.
The prestige of an overlord of the ocean was definitely not one they could trifle with.
