Black Rabbit lit a cigarette:
"Hey, did you know about the top layer of this world, the thirteen major Hunter organizations?"
"The top layer, thirteen major Hunter organizations?"
The man with glasses asked, puzzled.
Black Rabbit stood up:
"Yes, the thirteen major Hunter organizations. Just proceed on the Transcendent path, and at its end, you will inevitably meet them.
I have personally seen a merchant from the [Chamber of Commerce] who could use other people's souls as currency to conduct demonic trades, and in the blink of an eye, a village of a thousand people became mere chips in a bargain.
I couldn't believe that I was inhabiting the same world as someone with such powerful abilities."
"Nobles' power is more terrifying than we can imagine."
Black Rabbit fell into reminiscence:
"The nobles and Hunter organizations monopolized the Transcendent resources. If it weren't for this Crack Tide, I, no we, might never have had a second chance to see these monsters.
We were supposed to end up as dust on the ground, dying like sludge in the end.
But this tide has granted us possibilities, a possibility toward a higher world.
Join the Black Whale Group, join the wave, only then can we reach the upper layers of the world!
Remaining in this civilian area, we will surely decay."
"Sigh..."
Advancing to a higher rank isn't that easy..." The man with glasses shook his head and said:
"Black Rabbit, your idea is good, and it's for our brothers' future.
But the matter of the hunting ground and the death of Scarred Rabbit and others still makes many of our brothers uneasy. They fear that becoming pirates will lead them to die obscurely like those brothers."
Hearing this, Black Rabbit rubbed his forehead:
"This is easy to resolve, there should already be quite a few brothers believing that those who killed them were neither the Flower Witch nor the old Hunters, but another survivor, the supervisor."
"Yes."
Black Rabbit continued:
"Then it's easy to deal with. This way, our brothers will have an outlet, and we'll find an opportunity to deal with him, letting our brothers vent their emotions."
The man with glasses shook his head:
"Boss, that man is more cautious than we thought. We already bribed a port policeman this morning to try to lure him to our territory.
But it was useless. The Navy is restructuring, and there have been a lot of personnel changes in the police department. Our old connections are useless now.
We can't make a move at the port, it could easily attract the Navy's attention.
Moreover, his strength should be stronger than a typical First Order Transcendent, not easy to handle, and the newspaper people have mentioned him too; he's not just some ordinary man from a small island, he's also a somewhat renowned Chef."
Another supervisor... Black Rabbit rubbed his brow:
"You bribed a policeman to deal with him? Idiot, that's not a person a small-time cop can handle. Being chosen as a supervisor, even our executives might not be his match.
We must be cautious in dealing with him.
Trust me, in the crack, his rating is second only to the Flower Witch."
"So what should we do?"
The man with glasses asked, puzzled.
The Black Rabbit gang had always bullied the weak and feared the strong; it had been a long time since they had taken on a tough challenge.
The brothers of the Black Rabbit gang now needed a resolution, an explanation for their brothers' tragic deaths in the hunting ground, an explanation that would allow them to become pirates.
Black Rabbit was silent for a moment and then asked:
"How much longer until the Black Rabbit, equipped with a water bullet system, is completed?"
The Black Rabbit, a steamship purchased by the gang for a large sum, not only was equipped with cannons but also with a transcendent weapon system resembling torpedoes!
They believed that with this large steam ironclad ship, they could make a name for themselves near the sea.
"Three days."
"Does that man go out to sea?"
The man with glasses thought for a moment and answered:
"He's a Chef, seems to go fishing out at sea. Speaking of which, we had an executive who went after him on his own and we haven't heard back yet.
But according to the information I've gathered, it's very likely he's been attacked by either Ghost Fire Fish or a Deep Sea Merchant."
Went after him on his own, then no news... Black Rabbit fell into thought:
"Let's pause the actions for now."
This man's strength is definitely not as simple as imagined.
In Black Rabbit's view, the clearance of the hunting ground might be related to this man.
They can't make a move at the port; the law protects him.
But atop the great sea, just like the crack,
it's a lawless land not governed by any laws.
No matter how strong he is, he is still just a human.
Under a large steamship, he is as fragile as an ant.
The reformed Black Rabbit gang needed an operation to establish confidence for their future maritime ventures!
Black Rabbit, pacing back and forth while smoking, asked again:
"Are you sure he goes out to sea?"
"Sure, this time he even caught quite a few Moonlight Fish."
Hearing this, Black Rabbit's calm face finally curled into a faint smile:
"Next time he goes out to sea, we go too.
We need to let our brothers know that the money earned from being pirates is no less than in the gang.
Just right, make this operation our first business deal since transforming into pirates."
