"Little Bat, it seems you have forgotten the power of the demon hunting crossbow." A tall man slowly walked out holding a silver hand crossbow.
The vampire pulled out the silver arrow from his shoulder and looked over with cold eyes, but did not make any rebuttal.
Seeing that the situation might continue to deteriorate, a man in a black suit quickly stood up and persuaded: "Okay, Kerr, let's hear what the red-haired guy is going to do? I don't want to waste my time.
Come on, your pointless quarrel."
Obviously this man's status is not low. As soon as he spoke, Shanks and Kerr stopped entangled.
"I'm glad that everyone can give me this face, but I believe that after listening to my words, you will never regret coming here."
"Everyone should know how the three scars on my eyes came about. A month ago, I accidentally got a treasure map, so I took a look at it, and then I came back with the serious injuries you saw.
.”
"As for the things buried in that treasure location, I think you will all be interested."
Shanks said as he took out a book from his pocket.
Sherlock didn't even need to get closer to read the title of the book, someone had already exclaimed it.
"Moresac's Voyage Notes!"
"Moresac is the 'Pirate King's right arm'?"
"Of course it is, otherwise there would be no Moresac!"
"Didn't you say that they disappeared together with the ship and the people? How could there be any navigation notes handed down?"
"It happened five hundred years ago. Who can tell clearly? Anything is possible. Could it contain Imkh's treasure?"
"No way? It's possible!"
"Let me take a quick look!"
…
From the discussion around him, Sherlock had roughly figured out the origins of this voyage diary, and his curiosity began to arouse.
After everyone confirmed the authenticity of the voyage diary and its contents, everyone roughly understood the purpose of Shanks summoning them here.
"Imkh's treasure should be handed over to the mermaid clan in the end, and will be kept by their royal family for generations."
"And I have already found out the news that at the wedding of the mermaid princess Leilia, the mermaid royal family will take the most precious treasure in the family as a dowry. This will be the best opportunity for us to seize such a treasure."
"No matter who among us gets such a treasure in the end, he will be one step closer to the position of Pirate King, and it will also allow us to regain control of the Sea of Fallen Stars faster."
"So, I, Shanks, the captain of the red-haired pirates, have decided to go. I don't know who else wants to participate in this great adventure."
It is undeniable that Shanks's speech was very contagious, especially it aroused the pirates' covetousness for the throne of the Pirate King and their ambition to rule the Sea of Fallen Stars.
It's just the wedding of the mermaid eldest princess. There will be many big figures from various organizations and forces attending the wedding, and maybe even Suni's incarnation will come again.
To steal a dowry on such an occasion is really not something that ordinary people would dare to do. Even pirates like them, who have always been lawless, would not dare to agree easily.
The silence on the scene did not make Shanks feel a bit embarrassed. He still looked at everyone with that confident smile, as if everyone would agree in the end.
And the reality was exactly as he expected.
It didn't take long for the first person to respond to stand up. To his surprise, it was Kerr, who had been in tit-for-tat with Shanks.
"I don't care about the position of the Pirate King, but I am determined to get Imuke's treasure." Kerr's clown mask completely covered his expression, but his full desire could be heard just from his tone.
"I never miss such an occasion." The man in the suit said calmly, stroking his ring.
Under Shylock's encouragement, Samagar stood up third.
"One Piece is never afraid of any challenge!"
There is no shortage of arrogant pirates among pirates, and there are many people who target the Pirate King, but it is rare to say it directly like this, and everyone cast curious eyes.
After seeing that he was just a level 44 lord warrior, the curiosity in his eyes turned into contempt, as if someone with your level of strength dared to make such a declaration.
Only a few people's eyes changed from curiosity to appreciation. Dreams are important, but the courage to realize them and the perseverance to persevere are truly precious things.
With the addition of Samagal, the rest of the pirate group seemed to have given up their final hesitation and expressed their approval one after another.
At this point, the pirate group, which had been scattered for more than a hundred years, finally gathered together again.
Although this cohesion is short-lived and extremely unstable, it is still a moment worth remembering.
In the chronology of later generations, this year was also called the Year of Waves, because the third Pirate King, Samajar Silverblade, officially stepped onto the stage of the Sea of Fallen Stars.
…
Leylia's wedding will be more than a month later, on the 11th of Summer Tide (July). That day happens to be Faerûn's annual festival, Great Heat.
For marine life, the time before and after the Great Summer is when the sea resources are most abundant. This festival has the meaning of thanksgiving and prayer, and it also plays a role in succession throughout the year.
It can be said that setting the wedding on this day is the most suitable choice.
More than a month is not a short period of time, it is enough to cross the Sea of Falling Stars and back when the sea is calm.
It doesn't take long to sneak into Atlas City, the royal city of the mermaid clan. It is already very difficult, and there is even talk of sneaking into Leylia's wedding.
Moreover, with so many people, once someone leaks the news or reveals their flaws, the entire plan will fall short, so the related planning and coordination work is very important.
A group of senior executives discussed it for two more days in the Longshi Tavern before coming to a consensus.
The first is the personnel heading to Atlas City, ranging from two to fifty people selected based on the size and strength of each pirate group.
This group of people either have super fighting power or have some special abilities, and they will also be the main force to seize the treasure when the time comes.
As for the rest of the pirate group, there are approximately 70,000 to 80,000 people. Not only will this group of people not go to the Mermaid Imperial City, they will not even know the specific purpose of this operation.
Their only role is to pick up the main force that escaped from the bottom of the sea at a designated time and place.
Sherlock could feel the intentions and desires of this group of pirates from the arrangement of the entire plan. More than a hundred years later, they may no longer be satisfied with their current status.
After the discussion ended, the remaining members of the pirate group left one after another. Such a big operation must be prepared in advance.
When this happened, Samajar and Sherlock were obviously not in the mood to recruit new team members. The two stayed in the Dragon Vision Tavern and discussed the details of the operation in detail.
