"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go!" The staff got down from her seat in a hurry and caught up with Raine and the others. She didn't know who the captain was, so she could only say to Avril, "How about getting to learn about it first, the reward is very generous."
"I'm not the captain. This is our captain." Avril said.
The woman took a look at Raine, a small child. She came to the spirit right away, "little handsome, just take a look anyway. Besides, the reward is great!"
Raine frowned and thought about it. Alright, it doesn't matter.
"Well, okay."
The Devil's Sea is located northeast of Bankra Island 2000 nautical miles. The sea has a large number of devil fish, so-called the Devil's Sea.
"That's it??" Raine could hardly believe it. So the so-called devil sea is not because there is a devil, but the devil fish," he thought "Lady, just because I'm young doesn't make me stupid. If it was really so simple, would you pay a 10000 pearl reward just to draw a map there?"
"...My name is Susan. As for your doubts, well, hey, actually it is like this."
"The location of the Devil's Sea was not important. There are many reef areas, and no one wants to approach them. But over the years the direction of ocean currents has shifted 200 nautical miles to the northeast in us and Hobbs Island, Bidea Island and many other islands."
"In the Devil's Sea, there is a huge devilfish sea monster of the G8 class named Poisonous Stinger Dracula. After the route change over the years, it often attacks our incoming and outgoing ships. And after each attack, it would hide back in the Devil Sea. We knew almost nothing about the situation there, so we didn't dare to go deeper easily."
"This time, we are to hunt this sea monster! For that, we have to figure out what's going on around here!"
"What you have to do is to draw a chart of this area. In fact, you can do it during Dracula is not at home."
"Just a few more trips and you'll make a complete chart."
Raine grunted. What a joke! Running to a G8-rank sea monster's house to play? Is this really not a death wish? 10,000 is indeed a lot of money, but it's not even close to his life!
Besides, if he really encountered Dracula, the loss of the ship was a small matter, the whole crew might be killed!
Raine still can minute clear it. He shook his head, "Sorry, Susan, we are not interested in this mission. You'd better find another one."
Susan had thought that this child is easy to deceive, but who knows he is more astute than adults and simply not moved.
Just when Raine and the others were about to leave this display area and go to the trading house to look for the treasure map, a group of soldiers with lances in their hands surrounded them all at once.
The lances in their hands were not cold weapons lances, but firearms.
Raine and the others looked at these people in surprise.
"What do you want? This is Bankera Island! Do you plan to violate the law and order here!" Onebear stood in front of Raine and shouted.
"Sorry, we are the army of Bankra Island." A tall man stroked his goatee and walked out gracefully, "Captain Raine, it's an honor to meet you. I'm Chief Officer Hughes of Bankra Island. Don't be nervous, it's just that our Lord Governor wants to have a chat and a cup of tea with you. We don't mean any harm."
"Oh, by the way, that mutant, I advise you not to get any ideas. The power of these muskets is not something you can afford."
Raine frowned and said angrily, "Have tea? Do you also have someone gun at you when you have tea?"
"Not before, but now it does." Hughes gave a slight smile, "Let's go."
........................
Raine, Avril, Fancy, and Onebear were "invited" by a group of armed soldiers to the Governor's Palace in the center of Bankra Island.
Ninety-nine percent of the houses on Bankra Island are single-story bungalows, but the Governor's Palace has four.
The governor's house is absolutely magnificent compared with those shabby and small houses
At this moment, the governor was sitting in the parlor waiting for Raine and others.
When Raine four people came in, the bloated man stood up, smiled at the four people, and said, "Friends, please sit down. Hughes, why wouldn't you go and pass the tea to the four distinguished guests?"
Raine looked at the governor in front of him with a rather unfriendly gaze.
"Oh, captain Raine, right? A hero really, I have heard a lot about you. I am the governor of Bankra Island. Just call me Halliwell."
Raine grunted then lay on the couch, "Governor Halliwell, what's the matter with finding us here in this way?"
Harry did not seem to take any offense to Raine's rudeness, and still had a smile on his face.
"Captain Raine, your... ahem, Dad Bounty Corps is making quite a name for itself these days. I'm glad you're using our island as your temporary base. Oh yes, your temporary base has well-built indeed."
Raine felt an unpleasant feeling all of a sudden.
It seemed like this guy has been eyeing himself for a long time. And it seemed like he is just waiting for him to build his base and then get himself in trouble...
"Oh yeah, you guys also charged for mooring fees secretly. Should have made a lot of money too."
Raine couldn't help but sit up and his expression became serious, "Governor Halliwell, what exactly are you trying to say."
"If you want to threaten me with my base, then sorry, you may be disappointed. I don't have to build a base in your place!"
"Oh, no, no, no, Captain Raine, you misunderstand. I welcome you very much to build your base here. As to the berthing fees and whatnot, it also alleviates the problem of our tight berthing locations."
Hughes brought in four cups of coffee, which is a luxury!
"Please enjoy your meal." After saying that, Hughes stood aside.
Raine took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Governor Halliwell, I don't like to beat around the bush. What in the world do you want to talk to me about?"
Halliwell smiled and placed his cup on the table and walked over, "Good, I like to keep it short too."
"I just want you to finish exploring the Devil's Sea and map it out!" Halliwell said, "In fact, you don't have to worry about Dracula, we will find a way to hold him back and buy you more time."
Raine sneered, "You can draw it yourselves if you guys can stall it. Why call me?"
"Captain Raine, you're right. We can't hinder it completely, that's why we need to find you." Halliwell also looked serious, "I've heard about you from both Shobe and Hades. They said that only you can complete this mission alone."
"Shobe and Hades?"
"Yes, we are old friends for many years." Halliwell said, "Many bounty groups have a high rank. But as far as single-ship combat ability, they may not be better than you. And more importantly, you have a cruiser. In terms of having great firepower and flexibility at the same time, I haven't seen any better than you in human class waters."
"Shobe said your captain is Ms. Avril. But it was Mr. Raine according to the registration records. That's not the point. All I know is that you have beaten the sub-G-class pirates to the point of not daring to show their heads in unmanned waters. I believe that no matter who is the captain, you all have the ability to command the battle well."
Raine narrowed his eyes, "Even if what you say is true, why did we have to agree to go on such a dangerous mission?"
"Because... Dracula has upgraded from G8 to g9. If we don't destroy it, Bankra Island will be in his stomach! For this, we are willing to pay you 200,000 pearls!"
Raine's eyes widened.
200,000 pearls!
