Chapter 165 - - 165 Angry Selma_1
—————✧✧✧✧—————
“Selma, I want to finish the deal with you.”
“Selma, this ship carries the strongest men in the world.”
“The most beautiful Sea Demon in the world, I would like to be with you just for one spring night, not for your treasures, but simply because I adore your eternal beauty…”
“Selma, my night sky shines because of you.”
“Selma, mine is very big…”
“Selma, I will always wait for you at Old York Inn room 103 in Keyin Port. Please remember my name, Martin Plant Elephant.”
…
The whereabouts of the Sea Demon Selma were erratic and unpredictable.
Nobody knew where she was, but that didn’t stop pirates from professing their love to her in various ways.
Not only pirate ships, but merchant ships too, everyone hoped to be the first lucky one.
To win over Selma, they tried everything possible.
Pirate ships had long since removed their skull flags, replacing them with an assortment of fish patterns to increase their luck.
On the sea.
There floated the Whale, the Octopus, the Swordfish, the Cod, the Billfish…
…
Some wrote various love slogans on their sails;
Some bared their chests, showing off their muscular build, dancing on the deck to display their vigor;
Others covered their pirate ships with fresh flowers and fine wines;
Some hired singers, holding megaphones above the sea to show off their vocal skills, as it was said that Sea Demons liked beautiful singing…
Some simply stripped naked, showing Selma their pride with a direct approach…
…
The Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each revealing their own ability.
Just judging by the decoration of the ships, it was impossible to tell who were pirates and who were merchants?
More accurately, all the ships floating on the sea were in pursuit of love.
…
Selma roamed the seas daily, basking in her solitary joy, and whenever she felt like it, she would pick someone who caught her eye for a transaction.
Then, she would secretly watch as the person who dealt with her gradually rose to glory or descended into madness!
But these past few days, the sudden changes at sea had completely bewildered her.
What was happening?
Since when had she become so popular?
What did these people want?
Did they want to sleep with her?
Finally.
One night, Selma burst onto a pirate ship named “Tiger Shark,” pressing her spear to the captain’s neck and demanded the truth.
And then.
She became furiously angry.
Her life was coming to an end, there was talk of an inheritance, a high price for offspring, and now a trade involving all the treasures she had accumulated over the years…
Had these people lost their minds?
Could such an outrageous rumor be believed?
Did she lack men?
Pah!
Even if she wanted to find someone to sleep with, she certainly wouldn’t trade all her treasures for it. Did they really think they were worthy of her?
It had always been her entertaining others; how dare anyone seek amusement at her expense?
…
“Who is it? Who spread the rumor?”
Selma’s blue hair writhed like numerous sea serpents, moving without wind, her golden fish tail slapping on the deck. Her handsome face was unmasked with anger as she pushed her spear forward, piercing into the captain’s skin, “Tell me, who told you all this?”
“Everyone is talking about it,” the captain trembled, “After Herd Island, the rumor spread. It was said to be from the witch of Herd Island…”
“Witch He Ya?” Selma asked coldly.
“Or maybe Witch Paul.” The captain’s eyes drifted towards Selma’s chest, half-covered by two seashells, and he unconsciously licked his lips, “It’s said that he has made a deal with you.”
“Paul?” Selma frowned, “Which Paul?”
“Paul Wolfs, the head of the Sea Fish Pirate Group. He tamed the Sea Beast Enke and defeated General Antonio,” the captain quickly said, “He’s also the one who spread the news about the Fish Era.”
“What Fish Era?” Selma listened with growing absurdity. It had only been a few days, and the world had changed beyond recognition.
“It’s said that the next era will belong to fish, and adding a fish suffix to names will increase one’s luck.” Watching the ferocious-looking Selma, the captain realized he had been duped. He swallowed nervously, moistening his dry throat, and tentatively asked, “Great Selma, this matter is false also, right?”
“It’s true,” Selma retorted with a bitter laugh.
“…” The captain was stunned for a moment, then bravely asked, “And paying a high price for offspring?”
“You’re too ugly,” Selma scrutinized him up and down, then suddenly dived back into the water. With a flick of her tail, she swiftly submerged into the ocean depths and vanished from sight in an instant.
"Too ugly? Selma likes young men? But my skills are very good..." The captain foolishly touched his own beard, then suddenly came to his senses, lunged toward the railing, and shouted towards the sea, "Selma, don't go, I still want to make a deal with you..."
...
Next.
Selma boarded several pirate ships, confirming the source of the rumors.
Some said it was Ryan from Madock Port, others said it was the pirates from Herd Island...
Although Ryan's version came earlier, Paul's reputation was clearly greater and more convincing.
That evening.
The Sea Demon headed straight for Herd Island, she wanted to settle accounts with the man who insulted her reputation.
Moreover, in her memory, she had never made a deal with that man named Paul, and she wanted to let him know the consequences of offending a Sea Demon.
...
"Paul, Mahamadu has raised the bounty on the Destiny Sea Map to 400,000 Gold Coins," Barry, promoted to the super first mate of the Sea Fish Pirate Group, looked spirited and confident about his future.
In fact, every member aboard the Smile Angel was full of confidence at this moment.
Barry was organizing the intelligence in his hands and reporting to Duge, "Yesterday, Mahamadu's bounty was still at 350,000. Captain, are we sure we don't want to increase the bounty? At this rate, if someone gets the map, they won't come to us to trade."
"No need, we don't even have 200,000 Gold Coins." Compared to Barry, Duge seemed rather carefree, he poured bottle after bottle of rum into the Sea Beast Enke's mouth, laughing, "It's better if they don't come to trade. If they did, we'd have to openly rob them."
"Openly rob?" Barry looked at Duge in astonishment.
"We're pirates, aren't we supposed to rob rather than actually pay!" Duge said matter-of-factly.
"But if we issue a bounty and don't pay the reward, we lose credibility; without a reputation, we can never become the King of Pirates," Barry said seriously.
"When we cooperated with the navy, my reputation was already ruined, I don't care if it gets worse," Duge shrugged his shoulders, poured a barrel of beef jerky into Enke's mouth, and said, "Barry, don't worry. You don't really think someone is stupid enough to ignore a 400,000 bounty and trade for our 200,000 Gold Coins, do you? If we encounter such a guy, robbing him is definitely right, he must be up to no good."
"..." Barry was stunned, and asked oddly, "Then what are we after? Without the Destiny Sea Map, we'll never find the Sea God Scepter. If someone else collects the maps first..."
"It will be the same whoever collects them." Duge smiled, stopped feeding Enke, "Barry, you have to believe in the prophecy of destiny, no matter who finds the Sea God Scepter, it will ultimately end up in my hands."
Eddie looked at Duge strangely, not understanding whether he was truly foolish or pretending to be.
To call him a pretender, the things he was doing seemed to have no benefits at all. With the Sea Beast at hand, a surprise attack on Mahamadu would have the best effect, yet he did nothing and even spread the news;
To call him truly foolish, yet he exuded a sense of cunning that seemed credible...
At this time.
Eddie had already secretly contacted Mahamadu.
Mahamadu had told him to continue to lie low, gain Paul's trust, and later, he would send him a strong assistant to seize the opportunity to assassinate Paul and take the Ocean Horn.
"Captain, when do we attack Mahamadu?" Eddie asked, "If we keep waiting, Mahamadu and the others will unite and wipe us out. I heard that there are more than one divine artifact in the world, and if they find one to counter the Sea Beast Enke, we won't be able to defeat anyone."
"Wait a little longer." Duge gave him a smile, "The world isn't chaotic enough yet, let the bullets fly for a while longer, maybe the navy will attack Mahamadu before us?"
"How could that be, Admiral Mikaro isn't stupid?" Eddie said.
"What if he loses his mind?" Duge laughed, "In the chaotic Fish Era, anything can happen..."
Twenty days have passed in the simulation, leaving only 489 candidates, apart from Duge, not a single person stepped forward voluntarily, you must admit, these people are really good at biding their time.
Moreover.
From all the intelligence, it was impossible to discern which among those important figures were candidates or natives?
These guys were just too good at role-playing.
Of course.
It could also be that Duge stirred the waters too murkily, obscuring their edges.
...
As Eddie said, there are other divine artifacts in this world, and one Sea Beast Enke is not safe.
The seas are too vast, lightning wars are simply not feasible.
If he were to act first, it would likely lead to targeted arrangements by others.
Duge was waiting, for Vito's foxy grandstanding, for the Sea Demon Selma.
He felt that after so many days of fermentation, Selma should be able to trace things back to him.
The Sea God has fallen, Jannie sealed away.
The Sea Beast and the Sea Demon should be the top two figures in this simulation, having control over them would be the real assurance of absolute security.
From start to finish, it was Duge who coveted the Sea Demon's collection.
Suddenly.
Marsha, who was lazily playing with a Crystal Ball, turned her eyes towards the sea.
Following suit.
Enke also turned to the sea, alertly positioning itself in front of Duge.
Duge was momentarily stunned, his senses spreading over the sea.
Five seconds later.
He felt a creature speeding from the seabed toward the Avenger.
Duge instinctively looked at Marsha Hewitt.
The Sea Beast Enke was one thing; it could hear the sound of the Ocean Horn from hundreds of miles away, but what about the witch? Wasn't she only able to sense within a hundred meters?
How did she detect something even farther than the Sea Beast Enke?
Who was she, really?✦ ✧ ✦ ✧ ✦
