Chapter 576 Future plans to meet with the new Tarot Club

Chapter 576 Future plans for the new Tarot session

A secluded island in the Sunya Sea.

Luzer ordered the fleet to stop in this natural harbor, announced that everyone else should rest, and then called over First Mate Anderson, Bosun Walter, and a group of extraordinary individuals to hold a meeting with them.

"Let me briefly explain a few things."

"First," Luze said, "from today onwards, the Black Throne will become the fleet's flagship. The person next to me is its ship spirit, essentially a Sequence 2 angel."

He pointed to Antia beside him, who was holding Luna with a satisfied expression, ignoring the astonished stares of the crowd.

"Secondly, we need to expand our fleet."

Although this shocking statement greatly surprised his men, Luze continued, looking at his boatswain, "Walter, select a group of sailors who have performed exceptionally well recently, are proactive in combat, and are in good spirits. They will be the backbone, assigned to other ships, and as a reward, I will help them become Extraordinary."

"Also, Anderson, you need to make sure you recruit more people for me in the future. However, our hiring standards must remain unchanged:"

We don't want pirates with criminal records; we only recruit people from the lower classes with clean backgrounds and a fighting spirit.

"As for those of you who are already extraordinary, I also plan to help you improve your strength. Potions, extraordinary items, or materials... it depends on what each of you specifically needs."

Becoming the undisputed king of the seas is a good thing, but it also brings trouble—Luze's fleet has a much weaker foundation compared to other kings, and the number and quality of its extraordinary individuals are severely lacking. In order to quickly change this situation, it is necessary to accelerate the training of personnel.

Luze tossed out one reward after another, leaving everyone stunned. Walter, Darkwell, and the others were naturally delighted, but Sophia Einhorn looked up, hesitant to speak.

Third, the fleet's future goals.

Lu Ze noticed the princess's strange behavior but didn't ask. Instead, he continued, "It's the same as before: resist the colonial government, liberate the slaves... and now, we have a new objective: to wipe out the remnants of the Undying King."

The "Deathcaller" and the "Undying King" have been destroyed, but his fleet was vast, and only a portion of them attended the pirate convention; the rest of the pirates are still at sea. These pirates are influenced by demonic pathways, making them vicious and cold-blooded, and keeping them alive would be a significant threat.

The good news is that these pirates had all sworn allegiance to the "Death Note," and the blood-red crystals remained in their bodies. Since the "Death Note" is now Luzer's lamb, it should be possible to find them and take control.

"As for the last thing."

Lu Ze said, glancing at everyone's faces, pausing slightly, and then said, "I will be leaving the fleet for a while to handle some business on the Northern Continent. From now on, the fleet will be managed by First Mate Anderson."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their expressions turned panicked.

"captain!"

Anderson was especially nervous, saying, "Everyone trusts you; I really can't manage the fleet on behalf of everyone!"

His recent experiences had already given him a lot of headaches, and now Lu Ze wanted to continue throwing things at him, which he was naturally very unwilling to do.

"Alright, you did a great job while I was away from the ship, didn't you?"

Lu Ze said, casually taking an item from his pocket and tossing it to Anderson. The latter caught it instinctively and found it to be a charred arm bone burning with flames, shimmering with a strong spiritual light, and faintly attracting the extraordinary characteristics within his own body.

Without a doubt, this is an extraordinary characteristic of Hunter's Path Sequence 4!

The extraordinary item carried by Major General Intis was extracted under the [Sun].

"Captain, I can't accept this! It's far too precious..."

Anderson's eyes widened.

"Alright, consider this an advance reward for you."

Lu Ze interrupted him calmly, "I have a lot of things to do and can't stay on the ship forever. You can manage the daily affairs for me. If anything happens, you can use the talisman I left you to contact me. Just like at the pirate convention, I'll be there immediately."

This was actually something Lu Ze had planned long ago.

He had almost finished what he needed to do at sea. Next, he planned to return to Loen to continue hunting down the Aurora Society's madmen and seeking revenge on Ince Zangwill; he couldn't stay on the ship indefinitely. And if Anderson successfully advanced to Sequence 4, he would be able to protect himself against other Kings, enough to support the fleet.

"Alright, that's the general direction for now. Everyone can disperse and quickly get on with the things I asked you to do."

Lu Ze didn't give them time to think; instead, he quickly sent them away. Their minds, overwhelmed with information, returned to camp in a daze. When they finally came to their senses and tried to contact the captain again, they found he was nowhere to be found.

Deep within the island.

Luze dismissed Antia, who was petting the cat, and then summoned the phantom of M. It was Monday, almost afternoon, and the new tarot session was about to begin.

"have not seen you for a long time."

M's voluptuous body was clad in a pure white robe, and his golden eyes held a smile. "It feels like it was a long time ago that you last called me out... Anyway, congratulations on becoming the new king of the five seas."

Don't you know everything?

"Stop talking nonsense."

Lu Ze glanced at her and said, "Get to work."

"What a heartless main personality; all they do to me is exploit me."

Although the latter said this, her expression didn't seem to care. She walked up to Lu Ze, pierced his head with both hands, and created a false personality for him to ascend to the Gray Fog and participate in the Tarot Meeting.

Speaking of which, M has indeed been appearing less frequently lately. Is it because I haven't called out to her, or is it because the angel Antia is right beside me and she doesn't want to come out?

Amidst the swirling thoughts in his mind, Lu Ze saw a crimson expanse suddenly emerge from the void before him.

Above the eternal gray fog.

A crimson light erupted like a fountain, outlining blurry figures on the bronze high-backed chair. When the light faded, the members of the Tarot Club were already behind the bronze table.

Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.

[Justice] Audrey's cheerful voice rang out immediately. She stood up from the bench, greeted everyone in turn, and instinctively observed everyone's behavior.

Everyone seemed to be in good spirits... Wait, why does the [Hermit] lady look a little off? She's not only very silent, but she also seems very frightened?

Before Audrey could figure out the reason, just as she finished greeting everyone and hadn't even started her next move, Mr. Fool, who sat at the head of the bronze table, spoke.

He looked at the Hermit, Cattleya, and calmly said, "This is the second time."
