After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 1 Dark Ship Sculpture
  Severe pain, as if the saw teeth were cutting and tearing every inch of nerves in the body.

Leo's consciousness woke up from the mud of chaos. Before he could open his eyes, his ears were already filled with noise.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Open your eyes, newcomer, this is your application for joining the [Blood Shark]!"

"If you don't kill him, go into the sea and feed the black sharks! Hehe, I'm really looking forward to that scene happening."

Screams, threats, gloating... mixed with a faint pleading.

"Please...please...spare me..."

"Killing me... will do no good to you... it will only bring endless pursuit..."

"As long as you spare me... I swear by Mogustus... I will give you generous rewards..."

Leo opened his eyes with difficulty, and a young man's face covered in blood and tears appeared in his blurred vision.

The young man's clothes were covered with black dirt, footprints and blood stains. There were holes all over the originally luxurious clothes, and hideous blood stains could be seen inside.

At this moment, Leo was holding a brass-colored flintlock gun in his hand, with the muzzle pointed at the young man's eyebrows.

With just a slight pull of the trigger, a living life will disappear before his eyes.

The scene in front of him stunned Leo.

who I am?where am I?what am i doing?
  The classic three questions about life flashed in his mind.

However, before Leo could recover, his finger pulled the trigger uncontrollably.

"boom!"

The choking smell of gunpowder smoke rushed into Leo's nostrils, a deep blood hole appeared on the young man's eyebrows, and the pleading on his face stopped abruptly at this moment.

The hateful look in his eyes before his death deeply penetrated into Leo's mind.

"Good! Nice job!"

"Boy, if you want to be a pirate and a member of the [Blood Shark], you've just started!"

"What a pity. I was looking forward to the scene of the black shark hunting, tsk."

Noisy sounds filled his ears, but at this moment Leo could no longer hear clearly.

His hand on the flintlock trembled.

This was his first time to kill someone, even if it was not an act of his own will.

Leo was very sure that he was not dreaming at this moment.

The delicate texture and touch when his fingertips came into contact with the trigger of the flintlock, the smell of blood that filled his nose and made him almost want to vomit, the wet and salty sea breeze... none of this could be presented in a dream.

Leo's blurred vision gradually became condensed, and at the same time, a series of strange gray fonts appeared next to the young man's body.

[Baron's corpse: A baron from the Kingdom of Augustus and the Violet family. He died from a flintlock gunshot to the head on the pirate ship [Blood Shark]. The brass bullet left in his eyebrows was wrapped with a stream that did not belong to him. Your spirituality, under the influence of the [Golden Rule], any "sea villain" who attacks the nobles will be marked, attracting the purge of the Royal Navy. ——Please note that you have been tagged! 】

[The bloody mark will last for one week and will be automatically lifted after that! 】

[This spirituality has developed a deep connection with you... Absorbing... Absorption completed! 】

This is?

The gray font that appeared in front of him stunned Leo.

The Augustan dynasty...spirituality...[the Golden Rule]...and, the bloody mark!
  At the same time, he felt his consciousness throb, and the vision in front of him suddenly collapsed and shrank, condensing deep inside his body on a broken, pitch-black boat-shaped statue that looked very mini.     The next moment.

The same gray panel, but with a border covered with complex and magnificent patterns, and full of epic weight, jumped out in front of Leo's eyes.

----

----

Looking at the broken black ship sculpture deep in his consciousness, Leo was completely stunned.

This thing was not unfamiliar to him.

Not long ago, he used this "buggy equipment" he made to kill people in an unknown navigation game.

Among them, two abilities [Attachment] and [Shelter] have been used by him in the game, but the third ability [Travel] has never been seen before.

Just when he was piloting a giant ship the size of a small island, and was ready to ravage other poor players in high spirits, his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, it was the scene just now.

"Hey, kid, take your 'trophies' and follow me to feed the sharks. This is a ritual that every new couple must perform."

A rough voice broke into Leo's ears, and a bearded pirate who was very muscular among all the pirates spoke.

Booty?
  Combined with "feeding the sharks", Leo quickly reacted and knew that the "trophy" the bearded pirate was talking about was the noble young man who had just died in his hands.

However, he didn't wait for a reaction.

"boom!"

Violent explosions, accompanied by exploding flames and disintegrated hulls, and even the bearded pirate's upper half of his body were clearly reflected in Leo's sight.

The terrifying shock wave swept through the entire "Blood Shark" in an instant.

From a distance, the "Blood Shark" sailing on the sea looked like a pitiful toy. In an instant, it was broken into pieces and destroyed in the raging sea of ​​fire.

The huge hull gradually sank, and all the wailing sounds gradually disappeared in the process.

A few sea miles away from the "Blood Shark", a white seagull had everything in view. It pierced straight into the waves and allowed the seawater to invade its body. Its body gradually turned into heavy stones and fell into the endless deep sea.

Everything will be lost with this big explosion.

However, what no one expected was that on the [Blood Shark] which was gradually sinking into the abyss of the sea, a figure protected by a pale white spherical light shield was still intact.

The turbulent sea water was blocked by the "secondary shield", and there were burnt blackened hulls and unknown human body parts floating around. Leo's face turned pale. If it weren't for a critical moment, he would activate the [Asylum] of the [Unknown Ship Sculpture] lv.1], just like other pirates, died in this sudden explosion.

But for him at this moment, the crisis has not been resolved.

The "secondary shield" lasts only one minute, but the moment it disappears, Leo will be in the sea.

There is no place to rest in the vast sea. No matter how good a swimmer is, he will eventually drown.

One minute passed quickly. When the "secondary shield" disappeared, Leo did not hesitate at all. He reached out and grabbed the edge of a piece of blackened hull, and said silently in his heart:
  "Attachment!"
