Father Ouyang gave a forced smile and nodded, "Brother Xu Feng, just say it. As long as I can keep you alive, I will go bankrupt even if it means losing everything I have!"

When the pirates around heard what Old Man Ouyang said, they immediately showed grateful smiles on their faces, but the look they gave Xu Feng became strange.

For Xu Feng, this seventh-level secret realm is just a transitional secret realm in order to obtain the Golden Shark Pearl. He does not intend to develop his own power here. Otherwise, he would have to subdue this group of pirates and control them in his hands no matter what.

Now hearing what Old Man Ouyang said, Xu Feng didn't mind. As for how the pirates around him viewed him, he didn't care at all.

"Father Ouyang, why don't you open your treasure house again and let me have a look. If there are any that I like, I can pick out a few, okay?" Xu Feng asked with a smile.

Old Man Ouyang's cheeks twitched slightly. How many pieces should I choose?

Everything that could be collected into his treasure house was a treasure. Even if he lost one, it would hurt him. How many should he exchange for?

"Brother Xu Feng, with your current strength, do you still care about some material things?" Father Ouyang said in a deep voice.

Xu Feng smiled. In fact, with his current strength, even Saint-level equipment would not improve his strength much. Unless it was an unknown treasure like the black lotus platform, it would arouse some interest of Xu Feng.

The reason why I wanted to ask Old Man Ouyang for compensation was that I didn't want my efforts to be too cheap.

"Dad Ouyang, do you have any suggestions?" Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Brother Xu Feng!" Father Ouyang said in a deep voice, "I wonder if you are interested in becoming a pirate captain?"

[Ding! You have triggered a hidden mission, Pirate Captain; do you accept it? Mission content: In this world dominated by the sea, pirates are an indispensable and powerful force in the entire world! Your reputation in the pirate camp has reached revered, and you currently own a small ship, which meets the triggering prerequisite! You have been invited by Ouyang Kui, the future "King of the Sailing Sea Pirates", are you willing to become a pirate captain? Yes/No]

"Hidden mission?" After carefully reading the mission description, Xu Feng smiled and quickly made a choice.

"Father Ouyang, of course I am willing to be a pirate captain!" Xu Feng nodded. Only then did he realize that although he had joined the pirates and owned a ship, he was not yet a real pirate captain. He did not have the rights of a pirate captain, such as recruiting crew members and plundering resources! Even if he could sit and drink with Father Ouyang and other pirate captains, he was only a guest official. To Father Ouyang and the others, he was always an outsider.

Hearing the conversation between Old Man Ouyang and Xu Feng, Zhuo Yihai's face changed slightly. As a pirate captain, he naturally understood the pirate captain's secret, but he had always been selfish in his heart and did not tell Xu Feng.

Now that Old Man Ouyang has directly revealed the secret, Zhuo Yihai has lost the opportunity to win over Xu Feng. Thinking of this, Zhuo Yihai, who has become a lonely man, suddenly looked ugly. Moreover, the reason why other pirate captains still regard Zhuo Yihai, who has lost his ship and all crew members, as an equal is largely because of the existence of Xu Feng and the Flying Fish. In their opinion, Xu Feng will be Zhuo Yihai's future first mate, and the Flying Fish will also become Zhuo Yihai's new pirate ship in the future.

Now hearing that Father Ouyang invited Xu Feng to become a new pirate captain, the other pirate captains began to look at Zhuo Yihai with amusement in their eyes, some of which were mocking and even taking advantage of the situation. Many pirate captains had already begun to figure out in their minds how much treasure Zhuo Yihai had hidden after being a pirate captain for so long.

"Okay, hahaha!" Father Ouyang laughed, patted Xu Feng on the shoulder, pointed at the attacking Giant Sail City Thunder Fleet and said: "You are now an official pirate captain, so drive your flying fish shuttle and fight for the honor of pirates!"

After that, Father Ouyang said meaningfully: "The Flying Fish Shuttle is just a small ship. If there is a chance, we should plunder a more advanced ship as our flagship!"

Xu Feng nodded and walked towards his flying fish shuttle. After taking a few steps, he suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong. Wasn't he going to ask for benefits from Old Man Ouyang? Why did he have to fight to the death for the title of a pirate captain?

Thinking of this, Xu Feng couldn't help but look back at Old Man Ouyang. Old Man Ouyang was looking at him with a smile, and when he saw Xu Feng turning around, he made a gesture to encourage him to work hard!

"Dad, why are you..." Zhuo Yihai shook his head with a wry smile, his expression somewhat resentful. Anyone could see that Zhuo Yihai wanted to win over Xu Feng and wanted Xu Feng to become his crew member.

"Xiao Hai, you can't control that man!" Father Ouyang's eyes became deep, and he whispered: "Don't think about being able to control him, otherwise you will die without a burial place!"

"From the moment he walked out of the cave, I could feel a hint of fear from him. I even suspected that he had taken that step!" Old Man Ouyang sighed.

"You mean leading..." Zhuo Yihai had a look of shock on his face, staring at Xu Feng's receding back in disbelief.

"Xiao Hai, this is your chance. It depends on whether you can grasp it!" Old Man Ouyang patted Zhuo Yihai on the shoulder, sighed, and continued to command the battle. Now that the pirates have a natural island behind them, they only need to defend against the attack in front of them. If there is no mermaid fleet, Old Man Ouyang is confident that he can maintain an undefeated situation.

The Flying Fish Shuttle is just a small transport ship of the mermaids. Both its attack and defense power are pitifully weak, but it is not without advantages. Its sailing speed and agile dodging properties are something that medium-sized or even large ships do not have.

Just as Xu Feng was about to board the Flying Fish Shuttle, a voice came from behind him.

"Xu, Brother Xu Feng, wait a moment!"

Xu Feng looked back and saw Zhuo Yihai quickly following him.

"Brother Zhuo, what are you doing..." Xu Feng looked at Zhuo Yihai with some confusion. Although Zhuo Yihai was just a commander without troops, he was a powerful person at the artistic conception level. It could be seen that the relationship between him and Father Ouyang was better than that of other pirate captains.

"Brother Xu Feng, I, I want to follow you!" Zhuo Yihai said sincerely, and then he knelt on one knee in front of Xu Feng.

[Ding! Zhuo Yihai, the Black Iron-level pirate captain, is inspired by your charm and voluntarily gives up his status as a pirate captain to follow you and become your subordinate. Do you accept? ]

Looking at the system prompt on his retina, Xu Feng showed a kind smile on his face. He chose to accept it and reached out to help Zhuo Yihai up.

"Hahaha, with the assistance of Brother Zhuo, I, as a pirate captain, feel more confident!" Xu Feng laughed.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The two of them joined hands and boarded the Flying Fish Shuttle together.

[You own a small ship, and you can name it! You have opened the Pirate Captain's hidden mission, and you have obtained the Iron-level title, Pirate Captain! ]

[You have the right to control ships, recruit sailors, plunder resources, appoint positions, etc.! ]

[Current number of people on the ship: First Mate (vacant), Second Mate (vacant), Third Mate (vacant), Boatswain (vacant), Navigator (vacant), 16 crew members, 1 prisoner]

[Please accept your position as soon as possible. Accepting your position will improve the combat effectiveness of this ship! ]

"Captain, are we going to join this battle?" Bai Congjun asked cautiously.

"Bai Congjun, we are pirates now. If the other side wins, all of us will be hanged!" Xu Feng said with a smile: "Of course, the son of the Minister of Commerce of Giant Sail City may be fine, and may even be rescued by the people of the opposite fleet!"

"Sir, why don't we surrender? We, we can't beat the Giant Sail City!" A middle-aged man said with a sad face. Everyone's face suddenly showed a look of expectation. They were just a group of ordinary people. It was no problem for them to act as ordinary sailors. Most of them were even sailors. But they could never get over the psychological barrier of being pirates.

"Can you survive by surrendering?" Xu Feng asked in surprise, "Aren't you from Giant Sail City? Don't you know that all pirates will be hanged in the end?"

After hearing Xu Feng's words, the expectation on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, replaced by a touch of despair and numbness. If there is an attribute of morale at this time, it can be predicted that the morale of Xu Feng's pirate ship will be frighteningly low! However, Xu Feng had never counted on them. With a thought, dozens of level 3 peak skeleton warriors appeared on the deck. Under Xu Feng's control, these skeleton warriors all entered the bottom of the ship and began to paddle! Yes, this small mermaid ship named Flying Fish Shuttle is still powered by the most primitive human power. This makes Xu Feng have the idea of ​​buying a cruiser from the real world and then entering this world to dominate.

It's a pity that this is just a beautiful wish! This world is a seventh-level secret realm, an extraordinary world. Now it looks like the Flying Fish Shuttle, which is made of wood and powered by paddles, may not be much worse than the steel warships in the real world when it comes to fighting. Maybe a steel warship in the real world can't break the defense of the Flying Fish Shuttle with a missile, but the Flying Fish Shuttle has a very primitive-looking cannon, and a single shell can sink the steel warship in the real world! "Zhuo Yihai, from today on, you are the first mate of this Flying Fish Shuttle. If I'm not here, you will take my place and control this ship!" Xu Feng said.

[Ding! You accept Zhuo Yihai as the first mate of the Flying Fish Shuttle ship. The ship's attack damage increases by 1000, defense increases by 500, and movement speed increases by 3%, ...]

Xu Feng stood at the bow, pointed at the Thunder Fleet in the distance, and shouted, "Everyone, take your positions and get ready to fight! For freedom and wealth!"

Following this roar, Xu Feng controlled the Flying Fish Shuttle and slowly moved it towards the side of the Thunder Fleet in the distance! ...
