Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 591 - 304: Disdain and Murder

As the explosion echoed outside the fortress, the young captain who came to greet Fang Yu couldn’t help but sigh softly, followed by a bitter smile:

"Captain Fang Yu, you have witnessed it yourself. If you hadn’t come now, I fear our Pirate Alliance might have been dismantled."

"Sin Domain Alchemists?"

Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly as he asked.

"Indeed, let’s talk as we walk. The big pirates are waiting for you inside the fortress."

"By the way, my name is Mao Chong, known as Mao; Captain Fang Yu can also call me by my nickname."

Young Mao Chong said to Fang Yu with a smile.

He then assumed a guiding demeanor as the sea vessel sailed ahead, directing Fang Yu’s path.

"Before Captain Fang Yu arrived, the Sin Domain Alchemists had already come once."

"Back then, the big pirates didn’t want to pay attention to these Sin Domain Alchemists, but the other side dispatched formidable forces to suppress our Pirate Alliance, leaving many brothers with no choice but to seek survival."

"Oh?"

Fang Yu glanced at Mao Chong and slowly asked, "What do these Sin Domain Alchemists want from you? Given their strength, to be blunt, the Pirate Alliance’s combat power might not be taken seriously by them."

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, Mao Chong smiled bitterly and replied, "Yes, Captain Fang Yu, you are indeed right."

"Their formidable power is well-known, and it’s said that there is a master alliance from the Spiritual Energy era behind them. Reasonably speaking, even the Pirate Alliance’s combat power is rather insignificant."

"But what they value is the pirates’ familiarity with the gray areas’ rules."

"Hmm?"

Fang Yu showed curiosity and turned his gaze to Mao Chong.

"Although we pirates are weak in terms of combat, especially among peers, due to equipment and conditions, we don’t even reach the passing level."

"Yet there are numerous pirates, almost covering the entire Ocean World. Moreover, pirates are very familiar with the gray and black industries, having even devised methods to evade capture by the Ocean Court."

"These things are what are truly valuable in the Pirate Alliance."

"If the Sin Domain Alchemists were to gain the pirates’ assistance, it would be tantamount to extending their reach to every corner of the Ocean World."

"Despite each tentacle being exceedingly weak, the vastness and abundance of pirates make them potent. If utilized effectively, it would undoubtedly be a considerable benefit to the Sin Domain."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu nodded slightly, internally agreeing with Mao Chong’s words.

If it is singularly based on strength, it is not enough.

And if it is solely based on intelligence, it is also insufficient.

But if the two are combined, with intelligence and reach as well as high-end power, it would become an incredibly formidable existence.

Once the Sin Domain Alchemists obtain the pirates’ assistance, they could navigate the Ocean World freely.

Maybe not do anything as they please, but at least things would become easier.

"Then why didn’t you listen to them?"

"Collaborating with them might not be a bad thing for you, you might even have the chance to truly make it to prominence with their power."

Fang Yu glanced casually at Mao Chong beside him and asked.

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s question, Mao Chong couldn’t help but take a deep breath, shaking his head afterward: "Initially, some considered this question."

"But soon... we discovered these alchemists didn’t see us as people."

"When we tried to contact them, they acted dominantly, superiorly, and even without reason, they seized some pirate brothers for alchemy experiments."

"If the experiments were successful, it would be fine, at least the combat power would increase."

"But the success rate is less than thirty percent; even those who surrounded you previously were successfully transformed, many other pirate brothers didn’t survive the experiment and died on the spot."

"Having no control over life, unable to choose, this kind of cooperation is better off not happening."

Upon hearing Mao Chong’s words, Fang Yu’s expression shifted slightly, and he nodded with a smile, gradually dispelling his doubts.

If it were anyone else, it would be unlikely to make the imprudent decision of using allies for experiments.

Yet the leader of the Sin Domain Alchemists is the same person who proposed using citizens for alchemy experiments, the alchemy leader’s soul fragment.

Whether in mindset or memory, they are identical to the alchemy leader, so it’s not surprising that their values and attitude toward those weaker than themselves are the same as the former leader.

While the two conversed, the ship gradually entered the pirate fortress ahead.

Fang Yu, seeing this, no longer spoke but instead scanned the pirate fortress before him.

Before coming here, Fang Yu had prepared by having Luu Yuan check the forums for information about the Pirate Alliance and had learned about this fortress’s situation.

Before him was a fortress, surrounded by the sea, providing refuge and a haven for pirates, obtained by the Pirate Alliance’s head leader as an Alchemy Divine Artifact.

It is said that when unfolded, it offers high defense, but when contracted, it becomes an independent space, allowing pirates to dive into the depths of the ocean at any time, while constantly extracting oxygen from the sea for the pirates inside to breathe.

It is also this special fortress that allows pirates to evade the Ocean Court’s capture, constantly diving to take refuge.

But this Alchemy Divine Artifact coincidentally encountered the alchemy leader’s "Prohibition" Ocean Scripture, standing against its greatest nemesis.
