Fancy asked curiously, "Who is Trajan?"
"He is my idol!" Charge King exclaimed, "A truly righteous and legendary captain!"
When talking about his idol, Charge King became excited. "I've researched his life. Although his mutation ability is extremely powerful, he voluntarily started as an ordinary naval officer in the unmanned area trading market."
Shobe nodded and said, "Yes, many naval officers are willing to start in the unmanned area. Many of them are inspired by General Trajan."
"He only took eight months to go from private to sergeant, corporal, sergeant, master sergeant, and two years later, he was promoted to lieutenant."
"During his term, within a range of 500 nautical miles around the trading market in his jurisdiction, no sea monster or pirate dared to approach!"
"Later, he moved to the human-class sea area, and it only took him four years to defeat 120 pirate groups and kill more than 30 sea monsters!"
"In the beast-class sea area, he defeated the Blood Roar Pirates, the king of beasts fleet at the time, and forced the other two kings of beasts, Azure Blood and "Wilderness Overlord Pirates, into the sea of despair, where they did not dare to step into the area under his jurisdiction for 10 years! He defeated the top elite level e10 sea monster "Giant Octopus Alice," which had ravaged the beast-class sea area for 20 years! He defeated countless other sea monsters."
"Twenty years ago, he came to the king-class sea area, and he became famous by killing the strongest sea monster in the king-class sea area, the "Hell Mermaid King!" At that time, he was the strongest king in the entire king-class sea area, and no one dared to compete with him. The reason why Pandora could become the only neutral island in the king-class sea area was that General Trajan was stationed there. It has remained unshakable for so many years."
Shobe also knew Trajan's past well and could recount it in detail. It was evident that he also greatly admired the naval lieutenant general.
Charge King took a deep breath, "Later, one year after General Trajan went to the dragon-class sea area, he was dissatisfied with the Navy's style and wanted to leave the Navy. However, the Navy refused to let him go, but General Trajan was stubborn and led his fleet back to the king-class sea area."
"In theory, disobeying orders and leaving one's post in the Navy should result in military law enforcement. However, because General Trajan's reputation was too great, the Navy's high-level executives eventually compromised, allowing him to remain stationed on Pandora Island."
Raine frowned slightly, having listened to the life story of this legendary naval captain, he couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration.
Raine couldn't help but exclaim, "I never thought that in this era, there would still be people who could live their whole lives with integrity..."
"Captain, should we go and check out this tournament for marriage? Even if we don't participate in the matchmaking, we could at least see General Trajan with our own eyes, and maybe even get his autograph!" Charge King looked excitedly towards Raine, his eyes full of anticipation.
Raine thought for a moment, "We still have time, it's not a bad idea to go and see. I've never seen this kind of scene before."
"Austin's leisure life was so rich, much more comfortable than me." Raine shook his head, "It's always year-end meetings and tournaments, and nobody ever invites me..."
Armin couldn't help but laugh, "Captain, of course no one invites you. You just arrived in the king-class sea area and wiped out all the fleets you encountered."
Raine thought about it, it seemed like that was true. He had only encountered three fleets so far: the one blocking him in the Satan Abyss, Swamp King's fleet, and Mountain King's fleet, and he had wiped them all out... He wondered if the king-class sea area was unfriendly to him, or if he was unfriendly to the king-class sea area.
"Well then, since the opportunity is rare, let's just go to Pandora Island directly and maybe we can increase our bounty group's level while we're at it." Raine shook his head, "Maybe we can even take on some higher-level missions in the future. After all, we need more options to make money."
Raine and his team decided to go to the tournament to broaden their horizons, but they still needed to clear out the spoils from Mountain King"s fleet first.
Apart from the things on the ship, Austin's most valuable assets were clearly his islands.
Mountain King had four islands under his jurisdiction, but this guy's luck didn't seem to be good. The easternmost island, East Para Island, had already sunk, similar to Swamp King's East Sulpfur Island.
Speaking of which, East Para Island and East Sulpfur Island seemed to have some similarities in location, both being in the far east. The fact that both islands sunk at the same time made one wonder if there was some connection between them.
Unfortunately, if there were only two islands with similar situations, even Armin couldn't determine if there was a connection between them. More reference cases were needed to make a judgment.
The resources on East Para Island had already been salvaged by the returning Austin, so Raine didn't bother scavenging there. His target was the remaining three islands.
Time was not on their side, so Raine divided the fleet into three squadrons. Shobe and Charge King went to the furthest Irian Island and the middle Fuji Island, respectively, while Raine's carrier, which had the slowest speed, went to the prosperous Booming Island with Armin and Arsan.
Upon arriving at Booming Island, Raine discovered that Austin's rule was no different from Charles's. The tax on the island was even higher, reaching 92% of profits. The island's residents were completely treated as free slaves by Austin, working day and night.
If they couldn't make a profit, they would even be expelled from the island. For these ordinary residents, being expelled from the island was almost equivalent to a death sentence.
Divorce and separation were too common on the island, and the residents dared not speak out, living in terror every day.
However, the reason why Raine didn't kill Austin and his crew, apart from their voluntary surrender, was that this guy, although he didn't regard the residents as human beings, at least didn't have the quirks of Charles, he didn't eat people...
"Not eating people is already a good moral character," Raine shook his head. His standards were getting lower and lower.
Avril and the others were already experienced in managing islands. After arriving on the island, they quickly seized the Governor's Office, changed the flag, and took the deposit of the Mountain King Fleet from the Gold Foot Pearl Bank.
They then announced a new tax system, recruited a self-defense force on the island, purchased high-level slaves, and supplemented the bounty group's power...
Half a month later, after leaving some old sailors to guard the islands, the Dad Fleet converged in the western waters of Fuji Island.
Shobe and Charge King moved the pearls onto the carrier, and now they had 5.5 million pearls in savings.
This large sum of money could expand a large number of fleets, but Raine was not in a hurry. First, there weren't too many suitable candidates to be captains, so he had to ensure that each ship had enough crew combat power and not let all the elderly crew become captains.
Secondly, Raine thought his fleet's current strength was temporary enough to roam the King-class Sea, so he would save up some money. After all, he still needed to level up himself.
"Twobear, this young man has a good character. He's a rare shark-toothed dragon mutation and has great potential. I've arranged for him to be part of the strengthen this time." Trueword walked up to Twobear with a young man.
Raine had not forgotten about the strength of the crew members. Almost all the elderly crew members who were suitable for strengthening had already been reinforced. Raine had left the quota to the various captains to recommend candidates, and the task of arranging was also left to Twobear.
After handling these trivial matters, everyone stood behind Raine.
"Captain, are you planning to participate in the matchmaking competition this time?" Shobe asked with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Me? I can't possibly participate. Which one of you wants to try? The invitation says there are five spots available," Raine said indifferently, his eyes full of disdain.
Matchmaking competition? What a joke. What if it was an ugly woman? Wouldn't that ruin his happiness? This kind of thing was definitely not a joke!
"If you're not going, Captain, then let me try," Onebear said anxiously. "I"m already thirty years old and still don't have a girlfriend."
"Onebear, I'm older than you, and I don't have one either! Captain, let me go. If I win, General Trajan will be my father-in-law. Just thinking about it makes me excited," another crew member said.
"Uh, Captain, I'm single too..." Shobe stuttered.
Fancy asked curiously, "Who is Trajan?"
"He is my idol!" Charge King exclaimed, "A truly righteous and legendary captain!"
When talking about his idol, Charge King became excited. "I've researched his life. Although his mutation ability is extremely powerful, he voluntarily started as an ordinary naval officer in the unmanned area trading market."
