However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a samurai next to him suddenly knelt to the ground with a "thud" and began frantically banging his head against the deck.
He was muttering to himself.
"I want to spin! No one stop me!"
Sato: "?"
Immediately after, strange things began to happen.
"Hahahaha! My hands have turned into wings! I'm going to fly!"
A Japanese pirate spread his arms and leaped from the ship's rail, plunging directly into the sea.
"Don't eat my pickled radishes! You evil octopuses!"
Another Japanese pirate hugged a mast, punching and kicking at the air.
The entire sekibune, in just half a minute, turned into an open-air activity site for a large mental hospital.
The Japanese pirates were all dancing, gesticulating, and babbling incoherently.
Some were crying, some were laughing, some were boxing with their own shadows.
Sato Kotaro felt his brain wasn't enough.
He looked down at the small wound on his arm, scratched by an arrow, the wound glowing with an eerie green light.
Suddenly, the scene before his eyes changed.
His loyal subordinates had all turned into giant white radishes with legs, twisting their bodies!
"Wow! Such big radishes!"
Sato Kotaro's eyes lit up, and he started drooling.
He drew his katana and charged towards the nearest "radish."
"Today, I'll eat the thickest radish!"
On the explorer, the pirates were laughing hysterically.
"Captain… what… what kind of sorcery is this?"
Hector's mouth twitched; he felt his pirate career was being challenged like never before.
"Knowledge, Hector."
Roger explained profoundly.
"This is the charm of alchemy. I call it 'Happy Water Enhanced Version.'"
"It can effectively reduce the enemy's aggressiveness and enhance their artistic expressive power."
"Otherwise, I would have just blasted them with cannons."
Ding! Detected that the enemy unit has completely lost its will to fight and entered performance mode. Friendly communication can now begin.
"Billy! Buck!" Roger waved his hand.
"Here!"
"Take the men and go!"
"Remember, we are City Management, and the enforcement process must be civilized!"
Roger emphasized specifically.
"For those uncooperative shorties, some physical persuasion measures can be taken."
More than fifty skeleton pirates howled as they swung across the ropes and leaped onto the sekibune that had become a carnival party.
The battle, if it could still be called a battle, instantly devolved into one-sided bullying.
A Japanese pirate was holding Billy's leg, passionately singing a love song.
Billy kicked him away, then emptied his money pouch.
Buck, meanwhile, was hugged by Sato Kotaro's leg.
"Daddy! I finally found you, Daddy!"
The Ghost's Bane pirate leader cried, snot and tears streaming down his face.
Buck looked down at this cheap son, who was two heads shorter than himself, and punched him unconscious.
"Get lost, I don't have such an ugly son."
In less than ten minutes, the battle was over.
All the Japanese pirates were tied up like zongzi and piled on the deck.
Most of them were still talking in their sleep, with idiotic smiles on their faces.
Roger slowly boarded the captured sekibune, with Gibbs following behind, carrying a bucket of cold water.
"Splash!"
A bucket of water was poured on Sato Kotaro's face.
"Ugh ah…"
Sato woke up with a start.
The hallucination faded, and he looked in horror at the man in front of him, who was three heads taller than him, and the foreign pirates surrounding him, glaring menacingly.
"Awake?"
Roger squatted down and patted his face.
He looked at Yumi beside him and asked her to translate simultaneously.
"Sato Kotaro, right? Ghost's Bane?"
"I think 'Radish's Bane' is more like it."
"You… who exactly are you?!" Sato's voice trembled.
"We are the Maritime City Management Comprehensive Law Enforcement Team."
Roger pulled out a piece of parchment and handed it to Yumi to start reading the script.
"Given that your gang has long engaged in illegal plunder, severely disrupting the peace and stability of the East Asian waters, we are now lawfully investigating and dealing with you."
Yumi cleared her throat.
"Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to severe punishment."
"Tell me where all your silver is hidden, and the locations of the strongholds of other Japanese pirate leaders you know, one by one, clearly."
"I… I won't say! Just kill me!"
Sato still tried to be stubborn.
"Oh?"
Roger smiled.
He pulled out another poisoned arrow from his embrace.
"It seems you haven't come out of the world of radishes yet."
"Billy, give him a larger dose. Today, I must make him see his great-grandmother."
"No! No!"
Sato looked at the green arrow, scared out of his wits.
"I'll tell! I'll tell everything!"
Half an hour later, Roger returned to the explorer, satisfied.
He not only extorted one hundred thousand silver from Sato but also obtained a detailed "Japanese Pirate Distribution Map."
It clearly marked the Iwami Ginzan and the secret routes and strongholds of several large pirate groups nearby.
Ding! Congratulations, Host! Silver +100000!
Would you like to immediately upgrade your hull components?
"Upgrade! Must upgrade!" Roger said without hesitation.
"greek fire! ballista tower! Cannons! Upgrade them all to max! Upgrade as much as possible."
the explorer, enveloped in golden and silver light, once again completed its evolution.
The reinforced cannons on the hull gleamed with a dangerous luster.
Roger stood at the brand-new bow, feeling that his life had reached its peak.
