On the Terror King, Raine and his crew got only tens of thousands of pearls, but they found a bankbook with one million pearls, and most importantly, they found the map.
Raine called back Armin, had Avril control the ship, and had the rest of the crew busy salvaging various resources, while he studied the map in the captain's cabin.
The Terror King fleet was only allocated a small area in the mirage, so they could only observe the mirage from their location and draw it into a map.
Raine asked the system to record the map and tried to use it to locate the treasure.
[No matching area detected.]
The system's reply dashed Raine's wishful thinking. He realized that the King class sea was so vast that he had not explored many areas, and it might not be easy to find the area on the map.
"It's still more reliable to determine the approximate location first and then search nearby," Raine shook his head.
It took a long time to defeat the Terror King fleet this time. In the past, Raine might not have found too many treasure chests, but now his crew's level was high, and Blacky was assisting them in the seabed.
After fighting for more than two hours and pulling the battle line for several hundred kilometers, they still managed to retrieve 183 treasure chests, which was already very impressive.
Avril and the others counted the spoils, while Raine began to thoroughly repair the ship.
Materials were everywhere, and he repaired it effortlessly.
Five days later, the Super Battleship was fully restored and was again replenished with a large amount of ammunition and fuel, fully equipped.
"Captain, we obtained a total of 930,000 golden pearls this time, plus a bankbook with one million pearls and another with 500,000 pearls. But one is in the Gold Foot Merchant Bank on Misty Island, and the other is in Eastern Dawn Island. We have to go to two places to withdraw the money," Avril reported their harvest this time.
Raine thought for a moment, "Shobe, you take people to control the Terror King, the ship can still sail. You go to Eastern Dawn Island first and get what needs to be taken. We will go to Misty Island, withdraw the money, and meet you."
"Yes, captain."
....................
Two days later, the Super Battleship arrived at Misty Island.
Raine led his crew to split into two groups, one to loot the governor's mansion, and the other to retrieve the pearls from the pearl bank.
Unfortunately, there were only tens of thousands of pearls in the governor's mansion, and there were no rare sea god fruits. Apart from the 500,000 pearls retrieved from the pearl bank, there was nothing else to gain.
Then, Raine set sail again, heading towards Eastern Dawn Island.
Now, outside Eastern Dawn Island, the battered giant ship parked there attracted the attention of countless people.
"Oh my god, isn't that the Terror King's battleship? How did it get so badly damaged?"
"Hmm? Are those people on the ship from the Terror King? It doesn't look like it."
"Shh, don't you want to live? Once the Terror King's crew hear you, you're doomed!"
"Oh, okay..."
Shobe had already completed his mission, retrieving one million pearls and searching the governor's mansion and slave market.
During the time waiting for Raine, Shobe's biggest feeling was that the people living on the islands dominated by the Terror King fleet were always trembling in fear.
It was said that sometimes the residents here would accidentally be killed by the Terror King's men.
When they were on Java Island, there were rumors that Charles the Terror King liked to eat human flesh. Originally, they didn't believe it, but when they arrived at the Terror King's stronghold on Eastern Dawn Island, Shobe finally confirmed this.
The Terror King often abducted some residents into the Governor's Mansion, and those people never had a chance to come out. The next day, people would find some residual bones in the garbage dump behind the Governor's Mansion.
Shobe sighed deeply. The Terror King Charles being called the Terror King might not only be because of his terrifying strength or his terrifying appearance after his transformation.
What was truly terrifying was his deeply distorted psychology and cruel rule!
A few days later, Raine's ship finally met up with Shobe.
Shobe told Raine about their discoveries these days. Raine also couldn't help but sigh, "People on the previous islands also said that, but it feels disgusting to really confirm it. I shouldn't have let him die so easily back then."
"Captain, don't regret it. We don't want you to become so cruel too. Killing them is enough," Tik said, "When people become numb to killing, it's not a good thing."
Raine nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Tik."
"By the way, Captain, we now have a total of 3.4 million pearls. If we add the Terror King's ship, is it enough to upgrade?" Avril asked.
Shobe immediately said, "Captain, Charles has a shipyard here with a lot of materials. I have already blocked it before!"
"A shipyard!" Raine was very surprised, "Hahaha, that's definitely enough. Let's go, first go to the shipyard!"
It was not surprising that large fleets like the Terror King fleet, which occupied many islands, had their own shipyards.
The shipyard was located on the shore, with its own port, and a large number of materials such as steel were stacked inside.
"Holy shit, we're really developed now! Shobe, stop the Terror King's ship. Let me see what materials we still lack, and everyone else will go out and purchase them," Raine said excitedly.
At the thought of building a new ship, everyone was in high spirits, quickly taking their positions and working together in a busy scene.
The surrounding residents dared not make a sound about the sudden appearance of this group of people in the shipyard. Anyway, they knew that they could freely use the Terror King's ship, and there was no one from the Terror King's men on the island to stop them.
But there were rumors going around privately: were these guys friends with the Terror King, or did they really take down the Terror King's fleet like in the legends...
Ten days later, all the materials Raine needed were ready.
However, Raine couldn't build a new ship yet because Trueking was still undergoing modifications, and he didn't want to interrupt Trueking's strengthening process.
So everyone rested inside the shipyard.
"Captain, it's a pity we don't have enough manpower, otherwise we could occupy these islands," Shobe said. "The residents on the islands live under the brutal rule of the Terror King, and although they live in fear, without a powerful fleet, it could also make them a target for other fleets to fight over. When war breaks out, it's not a good thing for these residents."
Raine took a deep breath, furrowed his brow, and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked Armin, "Among the Ten Kings, are there any with a better reputation? They can't all be brutal thugs, right?"
However, Armin lowered his head, "Captain, there's no mercy in the trading markets of the No Man's Waters, let alone in the King-class waters. Governors like Halliwell are really few and far between."
Shobe also sighed, "What Halliwell cares about is not the residents, but his own position."
Raine agreed deeply with this. Halliwell was a decent governor, but he wasn't an honest man, he always schemed against Raine and often resorted to dirty tricks. If Raine wasn't astute, he might have been used by him.
"Captain, as far as I know, although not all of the Ten Kings are necessarily tyrants, in a world where everyone is trying to enhance their own strength by all means necessary, falling behind is equal to destruction. So whether it's due to their personalities or the situation they are in, they will do everything they can to exploit the islands within their jurisdiction and plunder other islands. So if you're looking for someone with a better reputation... it seems there isn't one."
Raine frowned, sighed, and stood up, walking towards the harbor, "Forget it, I can't save everyone."
Watching the captain's back alone, Avril also narrowed her eyes.
The captain's personality was indeed like this, he wasn't a suck-good person, nor did he ever consider himself a hero.
But he had a characteristic, which was to often say one thing and mean another...
