"Avril, there's nothing good in this box, only 2144 pearls."
"Okay, I'll write it down. Pour it into our box."
"This box is good, 4939 pearls and a book of intermediate skill."
"The book goes on Armin's side, and the pearls go together just fine."
The final meeting unfolded with the sound of clattering pearls clashing and debriefing all around.
Raine poured a cup of coffee for each of Trueking's people, and asked with a smile, "Trueking, how about it, what are your choices?"
Trueking bowed his head and hesitated for a long time.
This was not a simple choice. His decision would concern the fate of the Sea King's people. He couldn't help but be cautious about handing over the fate of his people to an outsider.
"Well... that strange power just now was you?" Truequeen kept his eyes on Raine.
"Wasn't me." Raine looked at Avril, "It was her."
The crowd looked at the woman who was keeping score, and Avril was meticulously recording the data of each treasure chest at that moment.
"That's too strong."
Raine smiled faintly. Although Avril herself had only 1 combat power that only exceeded little Booty, she was definitely the most awesome crew.
"So, that guy in the sea is also one of yours?"
"Oh, you say Blacky? Sort of, for now. He won't hurt you."
Trueking had to mentally calculate the strength of this little kid.
With just one crew member easily changing the entire battle and raising a sea monster, plus their unbelievably terrifying warship, the gang's battle power was just too strong.
As for the rest of the crew, although Tik was unable to fight, his scientific training methods could significantly improve the strength of the others, and the crew could quickly grow into a new fighting force with Tik in.
In addition, Fancy was also willing to follow them. With Fancy's potential, if she could grow up, that would be another extremely formidable power.
By the way, there was one more thing, the captain himself!
Just now he caught a punch from Truekword who was in the second stage of transformation and strengthened state with one hand, he was also very strong.
At this moment, Trueking just remembered what Tik's said to him.
If he assassinated the kid himself, the one who would die would be him!
"I want to ask you the last question." Trueking lifted his head and looked at Raine, "What exactly is your target?"
"Goal?"
"Yes, what exactly is the ultimate goal? If we choose to follow you, it will never be short-term. We will follow you to the battle all the way, so we want to know what your ultimate goal really is." Trueking said with a grim face and very serious.
When Trueking asked this question, the people around suddenly seemed to freeze, and all stopped. They also seemed to be very interested in hearing how the captain is going to answer Trueking's question.
Raine himself had not thought about this question.
Before he was a bamboo raft, the goal was not to drown. Then he continued to upgrade to become stronger and absorb the crew. Today, he could easily defeat the pirate king of the human class sea.
After thinking about it for a long time, Raine raised his head in concentration, and his eyes exploded with astonishing brilliance.
"My goal is..."
Everyone held their breath!
"Living a comfortable life with my crew."
"Huh?" Truequeen and Windbell looked at Raine in amazement. They had expected him to say something amazing about his goal, but it turned out to be this?
"Yes, that's my goal. Isn't it disappointing?"
Trueking looked around for a moment and suddenly froze.
The eyes of many people on the ship were red.
A comfortable life? Wasn't this the greatest luxury in the Azure Era? In this world of the law of the jungle, the weak had no comfort to speak of, they only had the right to be dominated by the strong.
The Sea King Island was captured and the clan was sold into slavery. Bankra Island had a strong army but was almost wiped out by a G9 elite sea monster. Star-Lord thought he could live a comfortable life in the human class sea, but was still hung from the mast. Shobe was strong but was still caught in the slave gladiatorial arena, fighting for his survival. Even as strong as Black Scaly Dragon had to leave his newly born...
No one can live a comfortable life in this era.
Unless... you are the strongest one!
Raine saw that Trueking and the others were still hesitating and didn't know what they were thinking, maybe they still didn't want to follow him.
Since they didn't willing to, Raine also didn't want to force it.
"Trueking, Starlord was caught by you, the bounty and points go to you. Go buy a base, it's too unsafe to take the clan with you. These salvaged pearls belong to me. I will send you back." Saying that Raine turned around and walked toward the captain's room.
"Wait!" Trueking suddenly called out to Raine, who turned around in surprise.
Trueking took a deep breath and looked at his companions, who had the same look in their eyes as himself.
It seemed that everyone thought the same as he did. Tik, Fancy, Onebear, Twobear, and the rest of the clan were right.
The Sea King Clan needed this kid, and the kid needed them too!
Trueking lifted the black cloak with one hand, and the sea breeze lifted it high into the air.
Trueking knelt on one knee and placed one hand on his chest, "The ten warriors of the Sea King Clan, Trueking, and the elite warriors under him, Truequeen, Windbell, Trueword, Walter, Muling, Bruce, and Pete, are willing to follow Your Excellency to the death!"
In the middle of the azure sky and sea, the breeze blew away the surrounding mists and the sea was in a mess.
On a ship, eight warriors made an oath to a boy in unison.
........................
"Captain, we struck it rich this time! We collected a total of 2.17 million pearls! I never expected Star-Lord to be so wealthy. We obtained 1.2 million pearls from his main ship alone!" Avril exclaimed, "In addition, we will get a bounty of 2.4 million and we have 3.7 million in savings, making a grand total of 8.27 million pearls!"
"Also, we acquired a bunch of skill books and treasure maps that can be sold for tens of thousands of pearls!"
Raine was overjoyed. This voyage to Sin Origin was truly worthwhile. They not only earned a massive profit but also recruited a powerful new crew.
Furthermore, the money they earned was sufficient for Raine to expand his base on Bankera Island and cover his next evolution costs.
Raine's plan was to reach the next level and venture into the beast class sea. The time was ripe.
"Excellent. Trueking, tell your ship to follow us. We are going to Bankra Island!"
The Revenge, carrying over 700 Sea Kings, closely followed Raine to Bankra Island.
Raine and his crew did not need to worry about pirates during their journey, so they took a direct route south to Bankra Island, arriving in only one and a half months.
When they arrived, nearly a thousand Sea King Clans were reunited, and the scene was nearly out of control. Trueking stood on the shore of the reef, witnessing the emotional reunion with mixed feelings. If he wanted to ensure the clan lived a comfortable life, their fleet needed to be stronger.
However, there was a hiccup in the procurement process, and the supplies on Bankra Island could not meet Raine's needs.
They had to be dispatched from several nearby islands on an emergency basis, which might take another two months.
Raine, however, was not in a hurry, and he took advantage of this time to spend 700,000 pearls on purchasing another area of housing immediately adjacent to the base, doubling its size.
Just as they were re-planning the base, Onebear ran over excitedly and announced, "Captain, all the materials we wanted have been delivered!"
Raine heard the news, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He silently stood up, looked around the room, and smiled sinisterly. "I'm going out to practice skills. The rest of you can stay home."
"No, Captain, I know I was wrong. I'll practice with you every day from now on!" Fancy pleaded, pulling at Raine's clothes and refusing to let go. "I want to come with you!"
Tik smiled, thinking that his inhumane efforts had finally paid off.
"Captain, I was wrong!" Twobear managed to squeeze into the crowd. "Please take me with you!"
"Captain, look me in the eye!" Avril clung to Raine desperately. "I had a stye before, really!"
Trueking and a few others looked at these guys with amazement. What was wrong with them? Why did they have to go to sea?
