After clearing out Heider and a bunch of other villainous pirates, the Sea Demon continued to sail across the ocean.
In fact, Luo Yu's choice hadn't been wrong.
The only crew member left behind was the thin helmsman of Sea Demon.
His daily task was to hold course and steer the ship well.
How could pirates, usually accustomed to killing and plundering, get used to taking the helm every day with such toil and moil?
Luo Yu slowly retracted the amethyst gold radiance released from his Beautiful Eyes.
He stopped his remote surveillance of the crew member and comfortably lay back in his armchair, basking in the warm sunlight and enjoying the sea breeze.
Savoring the ocean scenery.
At the same time, he was curious about what type of woman Purple Pearl really was.
How to make contact.
As time passed, a small black dot appeared in front of the Sea Demon, which grew larger as they continued to sail closer.
It was an island at sea.
…
On Zi Zhenzhu Island, the waters were rich with aquatic plants, and the shores were strewn with rocks.
In the dense jungle, there were vast expanses of Yellow Soil clearings.
Wooden huts were situated here.
Countless strong men wearing headscarves were either patrolling or practicing martial exercises.
Kitchen smoke curled up, carrying the scent of food.
On top of a wooden hut stood a woman with a voluptuous figure, slender waist, and long legs, dressed to kill and exuding exotic charm.
She was extremely beautiful, with a high nose bridge, large eyes, and her practical purple short hair revealing her spiritedness.
Her thin lips bore a trace of enchantment.
She was the ruler of this island, Purple Pearl.
At the moment, she was looking down at the members of the pirate group training below.
"Report!"
A headscarf-wearing Great Han with a black snake mark on his forehead ran back.
"Speak," Purple Pearl said with slightly parted red lips.
"Report to Captain Zizhenzhu, Vice-Captain Heider has returned."
Coldness flashed across Purple Pearl's Beautiful Eyes.
"Next time, don't bother reporting such matters. I have no interest in that scum."
Zhang opened his mouth but was slightly at a loss for words.
We are all pirates; if he is scum, doesn't that make us the same?
Seemingly perceiving the confusion in Great Han's eyes, Purple Pearl said coolly, "Although we are pirates,"
"there is still a hierarchy among thieves. That Heider will get his comeuppance sooner or later for indulging only in his own desires."
Great Han nodded outwardly but inwardly he didn't understand Purple Pearl's intentions at all.
In his mind, wasn't it a pirate's rightful duty to rob and plunder?
What sense was there in such distinctions.
Purple Pearl acutely observed the subtleties of Great Han's expressions.
"Forget it, you may go," she said.
"With your intelligence, it's hard for me to explain."
"Yes!"
Great Han seemed to have great respect for Purple Pearl. Even when insulted, he didn't show the slightest displeasure.
Purple Pearl stood on the rooftop, gazing at the huge ship sailing back in the distance.
Her Beautiful Eyes revealed disgust and a murderous intent.
"Heider, what a disgusting guy."
"Just wait, I'm close to my breakthrough."
"When that time comes, I will slay you quietly without anyone noticing."
…
The interior of the wooden hut was neatly furnished.
In the center, there was a large wooden chair.
Two rows of chairs were placed lengthwise on either side.
Purple Pearl looked on in astonishment at the extraordinary young man in front of her, completely dumbfounded.
Her Beautiful Eyes were slightly vacant.
Where did this guy spring from, he seems... quite handsome...
Having spent so many years on Zi Zhenzhu Island, she was used to dealing with pirates or commoners weathered by wind and sun.
Each one had dark skin and wore old clothes.
The sudden appearance of such an elegant and handsome young man truly made her eyes light up.
Purple Pearl muttered to herself that not only had she never seen such a handsome guy here, but she hadn't seen one even during her time at Martial Soul Hall.
Martial Soul Hall...
Recalling the place where she had once stayed, Purple Pearl's heart stirred with memories, and she became a bit absent-minded.
"Hey!"
Luo Yu waved his hand in front of her.
"How dare you!"
Several fierce-looking pirates angrily rebuked from beside them.
"How dare you be so rude."
Captain Zizhenzhu snapped back to reality and glanced at the pirates around her, silencing them immediately.
She scrutinized Luo Yu, who had suddenly appeared before her.
"Who are you?"
Luo Yu extended his hand with a smile.
"Captain Zizhenzhu, right? Hello, I am the nephew of the grandson of Heidel's grandfather's brother."
"This..."
Captain Zizhenzhu was somewhat dazed.
Luo Yu's smile gave her a refreshing feeling as if she had spent years looking at rough men.
The sudden appearance of such a handsome man seemed to remind her of her time at the Martial Soul Hall.
"Captain?"
Upon hearing the call, Captain Zizhenzhu shook her head slightly.
She found it strange, wondering what was wrong with her, why she kept spacing out today.
She looked at the skinny sailor beside Luo Yu.
"Is what this kid saying true?"
"Absolutely true!" The skinny sailor nodded frantically like a pecking chicken.
"You seem very afraid of him," Captain Zizhenzhu remarked curiously.
The skinny sailor showed a bitter smile.
How could he not be afraid? If you found out that this master was a fraud, all of us on the island would end up feeding the sharks.
"Vice-Captain Heider ordered us to attend to this gentleman as respectfully as if he were our own father."
Captain Zizhenzhu snorted coldly, "You really are obedient."
She turned her gaze back to Luo Yu.
"What is your name?"
Luo Yu chuckled, "Aquaman."
"Hmm?"
Captain Zizhenzhu murmured, finding the name strangely familiar.
And in her memory, Heidel's last name wasn't 'Hai' (Sea) either.
"Where is Heidel?" Captain Zizhenzhu pressed the skinny sailor.
The sailor hurriedly explained, "The vice-captain has found a big fat sheep and is currently plotting against them."
"Hmph."
Beautiful Eyes glanced disapprovingly.
She didn't doubt Luo Yu's backstory too much—after all, if Luo Yu had any issues, it only meant that he alone had blown up all of Heidel's Soul Masters.
How could someone so young manage that?
"What is your purpose for coming here?"
"Vacation," Luo Yu responded.
The surrounding pirates nearly dropped their jaws, their eyes filled with astonishment.
A weirdo, this was the first time they'd heard of anyone wanting to vacation in a pirate's lair.
"This isn't the place for young masters like you to vacation," Captain Zizhenzhu said with icy disdain.
"Speak, what is your real purpose here."
"I could tell you, but..."
Luo Yu paused, raising his outstretched hand.
"Captain wouldn't be so rude as to not shake hands on our first meeting, would you?"
Captain Zizhenzhu narrowed her eyes, "Who gave you the courage to haggle with me—was it Heidel?"
"He's not even worth it."
"It turns out that Captain Zizhenzhu also dislikes that old guy. What a coincidence, I don't like him either and would love to see him dead," Luo Yu smiled.
"Hiss—"
The surrounding pirates were dumbfounded—where did this weirdo come from?
Heidel is your only talisman on this island; aren't you afraid you won't make it back if you insult him like that?
Captain Zizhenzhu was naturally astonished to the extreme.
This guy was definitely not playing by the rules.
However, Luo Yu's dismissive attitude toward Heidel was precisely to her liking.
And with his striking otherworldly appearance, she inexplicably extended her hand.
Luo Yu grabbed Captain Zizhenzhu's soft and smooth hand.
"Now, tell me, what are you really here for?"
Luo Yu looked at Captain Zizhenzhu's extremely beautiful face and bared his teeth, "Heidel said he was going to betroth you to me."
"So I came to check out my future wife!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the whole place fell into stunned silence, and everyone was flabbergasted...
