Chapter 141: The Giant Strength Pirate Crew
The pirate's name was Baishi. Only eighteen years old, yet he had already been a pirate for six years. However, his status aboard the ship had always been low…
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent him alone ashore to rob two children. What he never could have imagined was that those very two children would change his fate.
"Master, I belong to the Giant Strength Pirate Crew…"
Baishi knelt on the ground in fear, his incomplete tomoe mark at his ankle throbbing faintly with pain. In front of Orochimaru, he was like a frog being stared down by a venomous snake. His instinctive fear made him tremble slightly.
As for Li Jiexuan, Baishi didn't even dare think about him. In the food chain of the cursed seal, if Orochimaru was the snake, then Li Jiexuan was the dragon soaring in the sky—they simply existed on entirely different levels.
"The Giant Strength Pirate Crew."
Li Jiexuan curled his lips into a faint smile and looked toward the small sailboat in the distance. "That little ship over there?"
Not far out at sea floated a small sailboat. At most, it looked capable of carrying only around a dozen people. What a shabby pirate crew.
"Hey, Baishi, what are you doing? Why's it taking so long to deal with two kids?"
Perhaps because too much time had passed, the pirates on the ship were starting to grow impatient.
"Heh…"
Li Jiexuan chuckled softly and shook his head. "Since this Giant Strength Pirate Crew is being so welcoming, let's go pay them a visit."
The small sailboat was docked at the shore, seemingly undergoing some rest and resupply. The moment Baishi and the other three approached, the pirate left on deck as lookout barked impatiently, "Baishi, why are those two brats still alive?"
"Wait…"
The pirate's eyes widened in shock. "Baishi, what happened to your muscles? How is that possible?"
Just five minutes ago, Baishi had been skinny as a bean sprout. Now he was broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, built like a musclebound brute. It was hard to believe.
"Call your captain out. I want to borrow something from him!"
Li Jiexuan waved with a light smile. "If he knows what's good for him, he'll suffer a little less…"
"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? I'll kill you!"
The minor pirate roared and lunged at Li Jiexuan. His shouting stirred up the entire Giant Strength Pirate Crew, drawing them out from the cabin.
"What's going on, Baishi?"
The leader, Giant Strength Yamazaki, stepped onto the deck with a frown. Ever since joining, Baishi's combat strength had been lacking, but he had been diligent and reliable.
But today, something seemed different…
When Baishi saw Yamazaki, a flicker of emotion crossed his eyes. Yet he quickly steeled himself and said coldly, "Yamazaki, I have already joined Lord Orochimaru's command. If you know what's good for you…"
Before Baishi could finish speaking, the surrounding pirates roared in fury, cutting him off.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You ungrateful bastard!"
"Boss Yamazaki should've let you starve to death on that deserted island!"
"You dare betray Boss Yamazaki? I'll kill you myself!"
For a moment, tempers flared. The pirates gripped their blades and slowly closed in on Baishi.
"Ahahaha!"
Seeing this, Orochimaru began laughing as if he had witnessed something utterly amusing, his body trembling slightly with mirth. That twisted laughter—Snake Uncle was still the same Snake Uncle as ever.
"Orochimaru, what are you laughing at?"
At Li Jiexuan's question, Orochimaru respectfully lowered his head, a wicked smile curling at his lips. "I'm laughing at these foolish people. Such precious lives, yet they have no idea how to cherish them!"
A battle was on the verge of erupting…
At that very moment, a booming voice rang out.
"You two… you're ninja, aren't you?"
The captain of the Giant Strength Pirate Crew had recognized Li Jiexuan and Orochimaru's identities.
"You may be far too young, but aside from ninja, I can't think of any other reasonable explanation."
Yamazaki raised his hand, stopping his subordinates from making a move.
"I assume Baishi's transformation was your doing as well."
Yamazaki stared coldly at Orochimaru. "What exactly do you want?"
