"The Black Cat Pirates' Jango, right?"
Arton stood in front of Jango with an cold expression.
"Yes, yes, I'm Jango."
Jango sat on the ground, looking at Arton in front of him with terror.
"Do you know why I'm not killing you?"
"No, I don't know!"
"I need so people to help sail."
"Understood! Wherever you want to go, sir, I'll lead the others to take you there."
"Good, I like talking to smart people, saves the trouble of talking too much."
"As long as you're satisfied, sir. But may I ask where you plan to go?"
"Well... let ask you, has the Black Cat Pirates' forr captain, Kuro, contacted you recently about going to Syrup Village?"
"Huh?! Why would you ask that, Captain Kuro has been captured..."
"Think carefully before you speak, Jango, don't joke with your life."
Arton's brow furrowed, and his gaze turned cold in an instant.
Jango swallowed hard and quickly changed his tune:
"Report, Captain Kuro just contacted today, saying he wants to go to Syrup Village to execute a plan to seize the wealth of a rchant nad Kaya."
Although Jango didn't know where Arton had gotten his information about Kuro,
The instinct to survive made him imdiately betray Kuro.
At this mont, in his eyes, Arton was a more terrifying existence than Kuro.
Jango equated Arton's swift strikes in his mind with those of Captain Kuro.
Not only that, but Arton could also control his attack targets effectively during his rapid strikes and release scorching flas, sothing Captain Kuro couldn't do.
Therefore, Jango regarded Arton as an even more terrifying existence than Kuro.
To save his own life, he couldn't care less if his actions might upset Kuro.
'Has the storyline already started?'
Arton raised an eyebrow and imdiately questioned Jango:
"So he contacted you today?"
"Then let ask you, approximately how long does it take to reach Syrup Village from here?"
Jango wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and answered tremblingly:
"With the current crew, and if the navigator is still around, sailing at full speed and without any incidents, it would take about, approximately 20 days."
"Half a month, huh? In that case, I'll give you half a month to take to Syrup Village."
"To Syrup Village?"
"What, is there a problem?"
"No, not at all! It's just that, just that you took out our navigator earlier, so..."
At this point, Jango didn't dare to continue.
"In that case, how about I temporarily take on the role of navigator?"
"I guarantee we can reach Syrup Village in just half a month."
At that mont, Carina ca over with a determined look.
"Right, there's also Carina!"
"With Carina here, we can definitely reach Syrup Village even faster."
Jango spoke excitedly, as if he had seen a lifesaving straw.
He had witnessed Carina's navigation skills.
They were a level above their own navigator.
With her, shortening the journey by a few days was no problem.
"Alright, I'll give you a location."
"Go there and move the stuff from one pirate ship to this one."
"I need to have a word with Carina alone."
Arton waved his hand at Jango, gave him the coordinates of the Giant Tiger Pirates' ship, and then led Carina towards the rear of the ship.
"I'm sorry, Arton, I shouldn't have run away."
Before Arton could speak, Carina took the initiative to bow deeply to him, expressing her apologies.
She was genuinely worried that Arton would punish her.
"Let's not talk about running away for now."
"Carina, let's talk about how much your life is worth."
Arton crossed his arms, leaning against the ship's railing with a light laugh.
"My... life?!"
Carina was shocked, thinking Arton was about to kill her, but Arton simply raised two fingers to her.
"Carina, I can understand if you don't want to follow ."
"After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and a lon forced off its vine is not sweet."
"But well, I've saved you twice now, that's true, isn't it?"
"Tell , how do you think you should thank ?"
Arton smiled.
'So he wants to thank him.'
Carina breathed a sigh of relief, her face also wearing a slight smile.
She took a step forward, pressing her full chest against Arton's front, and drew circles over his clothes with one hand.
"So, Captain Arton, how do you want to thank you?"
"Stop, better not call captain, you weren't planning on joining for real."
"What if I now sincerely join you? How about that?"
"Hmm? You're planning to sincerely join now?"
"Yes! I can work for you. Since you've saved twice, then I'll work for you for 5 years... no, 10 years, how about that?!"
At this, Carina's deanor was more serious than ever before.
