I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 233 - 171: Undercurrents in Zulomok

Upon hearing Rogel's words, the stationed officer couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

If Rogel only needed gold coins, that would be fine.

But the matter of ship repair materials...

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Rogel. Due to the recent bombardment by the Bolix Pirate Gang, the shipyard on Ye Lei Island is now..."

The stationed officer's face was filled with shame.

Rogel had helped them greatly, yet they couldn't even offer the slightest assistance; it was laughable.

Hearing this, Rogel frowned slightly.

Seeing this, the stationed officer quickly spoke up, "You might wait a few days. Our reinforcements are already on the way. As for Bolikex's bounty, we can also hand that over to you."

Rogel shook his head: "It's fine. We'll just move to another place. Let's note down the bounty for now; we'll collect it when we have time."

Rogel wasn't short of gold coins.

After all, when leaving Ozuric Island, Kadi had also stuffed quite a bit of "funds" to him.

With that said, he turned away and pulled out a navigation map.

"The island with another kingdom's garrison is quite a distance from here. If we go, we'll need to take a detour..."

Lina withdrew her gaze and looked at Rogel.

She had already gotten a fair understanding of Rogel's character.

Sure enough, after putting away the navigation map, Rogel spoke calmly.

"We're heading to Zulomok Island."

...

If the Sea of Sin among the Five Great Seas gathered all the criminals and pirates—

Then Zulomok Island amassed the most extreme evil and sin in the entire Sea of Sin.

However, it was not as chaotic and disorderly as one might imagine, constantly filled with cries of fighting and killing.

As it turned out, when a group of criminals is exiled to the same spot, they instead establish a stable order and produce well-dressed individuals.

Zulomok is such a place.

The most prosperous large island in the Sea of Sin.

This island wasn't originally large, but around its periphery were numerous ship and weapon wreckages, forcibly expanding the boundaries of Zulomok Island, making them part of the island.

Along Zulomok's coast, countless pirate remains and criminal corpses were buried.

It's said that every pirate gang defeated in Zulomok becomes part of these remnants.

Currently, the power controlling Zulomok is the most vicious criminal group in the Sea of Sin—the Philei Clan.

Unlike the usual pirates' way of becoming kings through slaughter.

The Philei Clan's rise is also a tale of ninja-like endurance, quite reminiscent of the Sima style.

The Philei Clan initially served under the largest pirate, Raseto, in the Sea of Sin.

After aiding Raseto's settlement on Zulomok Island, they lay low for decades.

After Raseto's death, the Philei Clan decisively betrayed him, taking control of Zulomok Island and becoming one of the major players in the Sea of Sin.

With their superior intellect and tactics, they managed Zulomok Island into order, giving it the air of a big city.

It somewhat resembled Giant Claw City. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Of course, if the numerous ships docked in the port didn't have skulls on their flags, it would resemble it even more.

Among the pirate ships, the Adventurer's Guild flag on the Gelin stood out starkly.

Like a tender little lamb suddenly appearing among a pack of black wolves.

As soon as Rogel and his crew disembarked, they felt countless malicious gazes around them.

The pirates' eyes were filled with a cannibalistic greed, salivating.

If not for the rules on Zulomok Island, they would've probably started fighting for the loot by now.

Of course, there were also pirates looking at Rogel and his crew with apprehension.

Before arriving at Zulomok Island, the Gelin had encountered pirates, with some witnessing an eerie monster destroying pirate ships.

"Yas, Mira, Noemi, the task of guarding the ship is yours. Lina and I will find the shipyard."

Rogel assigned the tasks to his crew, then they set off separately.

After a full day and night of sailing, they encountered many pirates, and even witnessed naval battles between pirate factions.

But Rogel was in a hurry, often activating the Secret Pattern Ship Rudder for a speed boost.

They turned a blind eye to the malicious stares around them.

If these pirates had any sense, they wouldn't make a rash move.

...

Shortly after the Gelin entered Zulomok, two special ships sailed towards the island.

...

A blood-soaked pirate ship sailed into Zulomok Island.

On the deck of this pirate ship, a blood-stained young man, with a large, chipped butcher knife in hand, silently hacked at the flesh.

All around him were mutilated bodies.

Aitar's body was wracked with searing pain, some wounds so deep that bones could be seen.

Yet, a mysterious power within spewed like a fountain, allowing him to completely ignore his pain.

Beside him stood a chubby pirate and a group of hostages held by the pirates.

They regarded Aitar, looking like a demon from hell, in silent terror, not daring to breathe loudly.

Except for the chubby pirate, no one knew what terrifying events had unfolded on this pirate ship.

He had witnessed with his own eyes as this young man, armed only with a notched red butcher knife, single-handedly chopped all the pirates aboard into pieces.

Even when shot and hacked to the point where ribs showed, he didn't die, but instead, with crazed eyes, exterminated all the pirates.

"No!"

"Stinking brat... No, Aitar, brother Aitar, I beg you..."
