Chapter 990 I Can’t Be That Shameless, Can I?
Four days after Eiko, Fei Fei, and Captain Jack Spawow arrived in the Sea King's Graveyard...
"Can you see that, Eiko, Fei Fei?" Captain Jack Spawow pointed at the island in front of them.
"Aye!"
"Yar!"
Captain Jack Spawow grinned. "That is the Pirate Enclave. I'm sure that both of you would want to explore it, but it will be best if you don't wander off on your own. Either I accompany you, or you let Jibbs come with you. These are troubled times, Darlings. Everyone is on edge, and we don't want those gruff Pirates to mess with the two of you, okay?"
Eiko and Fei Fei glanced at each other before nodding their heads.
"Aye, Captain!"
"Aye!"
Jack Spawow breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Truth be told, he was not at all worried about the safety of the two Baby Slimes. n-/OvELb1n
On the contrary, he was more worried about the safety of the Pirates who would antagonize Eiko and Fei Fei!
'I pity the fools who'd end up annoying these two babies,' Captain Jack Spawow shook his head. 'You can't really judge a Slime by its color.'
Captain Jack Spawow and his crew wouldn't forget what happened four days ago.
If not for the fact that they all witnessed it, the Pirate Captain would have thought that it might only be a dream. But he clearly remembered being drunk with rum at that time and then being abruptly pulled into sobriety real quick when that happened.
An hour later, the Pirate Ship arrived at the docks, and Captain Spawow and Jibbs disembarked.
Naturally, Eiko and Fei Fei went with them because the two were very curious about the Pirate Island.
Captain Jack Spawow went straight to the biggest building on the island, which was where the Pirate Conference would be held.
They still had a few hours before the start of the meeting, but he decided to go early in order to see if his "friends" had already arrived.
After scanning the meeting place, Captain Jack Spawow noticed a group of four people and called out to them.
"Shane, Francesca, Britton, and Qing!" Captain Jack Spawow shouted. "You buggers are still alive? How did you escape the Ford Federation?"
"Zip it, Jack," Shane growled. "We're not in the mood for your jokes."
"Don't mind Shane, Jack," Francesca said with a smile. "He almost got caught yesterday, so he's still in a bad mood."
Shane snorted but didn't rebuke the middle-aged Pirate Woman who commanded one of the strongest pirate fleets in the Seven Seas.
"Seeing you so peppy brings back old times, Jack," Britton, who was a muscular man with sun-kissed skin and standing at two meters tall, smiled. "It's good to see that you're still alive and kicking."
"What's good about seeing this coward?" a handsome man, who seemed to be in his late thirties, asked. He was none other than Qing, and he was the Captain of the Red-Shark Pirate Fleet.
"Oh? You're calling me a coward, Qing?" Captain Jack Spawow snorted. "You have the balls to say that when your crew specializes in hit-and-run tactics? Very funny."
"At least we still hit our targets." Qing scoffed. "Unlike you who just runs away when things go South."
Captain Jack Spawow wagged his fingers at Qing.
"That's not cowardice, my dear Qing," Captain Jack Spawow replied. "It's called a strategic retreat."
"Whatever." Qing drank a mug of mead before belching.
Captain Jack Spawow looked at his former comrades with a nostalgic look on his face.
'Who would have thought that the group who used to hunt Whales in the open seas would become the most feared pirate captains in the Seven Seas,' Captain Jack Spawow mused. 'It's truly unfortunate that the old man isn't here to see this. I'm sure that he would be jumping for joy in his grave.'
There was a time when Captain Jack Spawow, Shane, Francesca, Britton, and Qing, were part of the crew of the Whaling Ship called Billy O' Tea.
After their Captain's death, the group disbanded and became Pirates. This transition from being honorable whalers to notorious pirates was something that surprised Captain Jack Spawow even to this day.
Still, all of them had no regrets.
They were doing this to avenge their old man who had been framed and executed just because he had offended a Marquee of the Ford Federation.
Captain Jack Spawow sighed before glancing at his surroundings. There, he saw other famous pirates who had made a name for themselves.
Mankie D. Buffy
Tit Mama
Blue Beard
Baggy
Mohawk
Hani Cock
Kuma Kuma
Crocodine
Flamingo
There were many other pirates that he didn't recognize, but all of them were exuding strength that made him smile.
'They're all Saints,' Captain Jack Spawow thought. 'But are they enough to overturn the situation? If my sources are right, the Ford Federation will be sending a Supreme to help wipe us out.'
The Pirate Captain's gaze then landed on Eiko and Fei Fei, who were currently eating the bread and cheese on the table, which made him smile.
'Well, if worst comes to worst, I can always take Eiko and Fei Fei to run away,' Captain Jack Spawow mused. 'But I have a feeling that as long as Eiko is with us, we have a chance.'
The Pirate Captain then scratched his cheek when he realized that he was putting his hopes on a Baby Slime to help them overcome this calamity that was about to fall on their heads.
'I can't be that shameless, can I?' Captain Jack Spawow shook his head helplessly. 'Well, at least they didn't skimp on the rum.'
The Pirate Captain went to pour himself a drink and refill his cask with some rum.
Since there were still a few hours before the meeting started, he planned to drink a lot in order to temporarily forget what was happening around them.
As countless Pirate ships began to arrive in the Pirate's Enclave, the battleships of the Ford Federation were gathering at the Special Domain that they had discovered.
They believed that this was the place where the Great Pirate King, Uncle Rogers, had buried his treasure.
A treasure that was said to hold the power to dominate the Seven Seas, and give those who were able to wield it the ability to gain near-godlike powers.
