Why did Whale Father want the Black Hunter so badly? Why? Little Raven's heart kept churning with huge waves.
Although the Black Hunter's accomplishments were rich, compared to the seven long-renowned great pirates, he was merely a small ripple.
Blood Hunter's fingers slightly twitched, revealing the card in his hand.
It was a dark card, and on the front, a girl dressed in a black court gown, drinking wine red as blood, gazing at a meteor shower in the sky.
Disaster Witch, Shadow Occupation Card, a symbol of ill omen in legends, possessed terrifying abilities to create disasters and manipulate shadows.
In legends, this occupation card would only appear right before a great disaster.
Legendary profession card!
Everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it.
Even some Third-tier male pirates couldn't help but lick their lips with curiosity.
Sirena's eyes were shining, and she clenched her fists and said,
"Lord Blood Hunter! I will accomplish it, even if I'm disfigured, even if the Black Hunter breaks my beautiful arms! I will do everything in my power to present the Black Hunter to you!"
According to current intelligence, the Black Hunter was at most a deranged Third-order Transcendent.
And a Third-order Transcendent, no matter how strong, always has weaknesses.
Lack of physical stamina, immunity to toxins, diseases, fire, fatigue, shipwrecks...
A Third-order Transcendent being killed by a small knife, hundreds of such cases could be found in history.
In the midst of fierce tempests, everyone held the potential to take down the Black Hunter!
Contrary to the difficulty of the task, was the rarity of the legendary profession card!
The hearts of the crowd couldn't help but race.
"Lord Blood Hunter, can this witch profession card change appearances?"
"Lord Blood Hunter, men, can men undertake this task?"
"Lord Blood Hunter, I have, I have an Extraordinary Prop that can change gender!"
In the eyes of many pirates, the true powerhouse doesn't care about gender.
With a face full of scars, Blood Hunter spoke emotionlessly,
"No problem, as long as you bring the Black Hunter back, this occupation card is yours."
These shameless fellows... Sirena clenched her fists and couldn't help but show a look of disdain.
Then, Blood Hunter drew the long sword at his waist, his tone unusually calm,
"If you are not satisfied, you can also exchange this occupation card for the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure."
Everyone was momentarily stunned.
They could exchange it!
"Awesome!"
"Woohoo!"
Cheers erupted one after another.
Amid the cheering, Blood Hunter slowly stood up:
"Little Raven, Sirena, Crack Sea, regarding the Black Whale Blood, and the research on Sea Beasts, as well as monitoring the Sea God Pirate Group's task, all are assigned to you."
Monitoring the Sea God Pirate Group, researching sea beasts, Black Whale Blood... Little Raven and Sirena couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
These tasks were no small feats! Especially monitoring the Sea God Pirate Group!
The Black Whale Group and the Sea God Pirate Group were only superficially friendly.
But the Sea God Pirate Group had always been hiding their grand plans from the Black Whale Circle.
Privately, facilitated by the Hunter Association, they had assassinated each other's members more than hundreds of times.
Thus, the main person responsible for monitoring the Sea God Pirate Group had died eleven times since the start of the Crack Tide!
Assigning them this task was akin to sending them to their deaths!
In the Black Whale Group, disobeying an order was tantamount to death.
Little Raven and Sirena bowed their heads, pursed their lips and said in a firm voice,
"As you command!"
Blood Hunter's expression remained unchanged,
"All officers, after receiving your rewards, go upstairs, Doctor Black Death has prepared new ships for you."
Going outside... everyone paused in surprise.
To avoid exposing Whale Island's location, they had never seen the surface of Whale Island!
And now, they were actually allowed to go to the surface of Whale Island voluntarily.
Everyone took a deep breath and said in unison,
"As you command!!"
...
...
Above the base, on Whale Island, pirate port.
The sky was dark, clouds rolled heavily, and the loud wind, mixed with dense fog, buried everything in sight.
The pirates followed Blood Hunter's steps, pushing open the heavy doors and walking out from inside Whale Island.
The moment Little Raven and Sirena stepped through the door, they were shocked by the colossal object in front of them.
Amid the thick fog, were terrifying black giant ships!
However, unlike traditional steam ships, these giant ships lacked the usual open-air chimneys, replaced instead by larger sizes and more menacing ship cannons.
At the same time, there were giant chains entwining around the ships' sides, and a huge sea beast entwined by the chains.
Just like an oversized coach, each giant ship had a huge sea beast stationed at its front!
Most of the beast's body was submerged under the water.
Nonetheless, it was still possible to appreciate the full scope of this sea beast from its heavy breathing sounds.
This terrifying creature, resembling an elephant, had ears that looked like giant cloths floating on the water from its hill-like head.
In the dense fog, it was so majestic, so terrifying!
"Sea Goddess above! What in the world is this?"
"A giant beast!"
"Black Elephant ships! These are Black Elephant ships, collected by Doctor Black Death, only existing in blueprints until now!"
Amidst exclamations, Little Raven and Sirena were also deeply shaken.
To control giant creatures or giants, that was the fearsome power only the nations that mastered heart-matching Guardian Beasts, and the empire skilled in enslaving control, the Black Blood Empire, could achieve!
