Chapter 21

*Swoosh!

The sound of the sea resounded on Rimuru's ears as he stepped on the sea docks, his eyes were shining as he stairs at the ship in front of him.

It was a small ship with 2 cannons in each side, the Sea of Thieves VR was very different from the version from Tanaka's past life.

Everyone, I mean literally everyone starts with the same small ship.

"Its a beauty,"

Rimuru walked forward and jumped towards the deck of the ship.

*Thud!

*Creak!

Rimuru landed on the deck, the others also followed and entered the ship, they all look curiously around, even though it was a bit cramped,

Rimuru looked at everything, from every nook and cranny, for some reason, he felt very connected to the ship, it was a ship, but he could feel its emotions like a living being.

It was happy.

Not just Rimuru who felt it, but everyone of them.

'Lets have a great adventure'

A voice resounded on their ears.

"Please take care of us" x7

All of them shouted in unison, Rimuru went towards the ships helm and looked at the great scenery of the sea, he then turned towards the steering wheel of the ship.

"I dont know how to use a ship, great sage, can you teach me?"

"..."

"Of course, great sage cant follow me here"

He scratched the back of his head, but still he touched the steering wheel.

*Ding!

[Would you like to learn Basic Tutorial?(Y/N)]

At the same time, the others also received the notifications, even the former pirates from the one piece accepted the tutorial.

"Hmm? its not great sage, anyways, at least there is a tutorial, Accept!"

Rimuru waited for a few seconds but nothing came.

"Scam?"

"Hey! Im an Instructor! I came here to teach you guys!"

A voice came from the docks, Rimuru peeked outside the ship, and saw an old man with his right leg being a wooden leg.

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

A few moments later the instructor entered the ship.

"Nice to meet you, My name is Jack, I will now teach you the basics of a pirate, listen carefully, because Im only going to teach you once, I aint getting paid enough for this sh*t"

"First I will tell you about this place, There are 3 factions from every outposts, the Gold hoarders, The Merchants Alliance, and The order of souls~"

"The gold Hoarders are a bunch of lazy monkeys, and we'll have you locating islands, riddles or give you x-marks the spot, The order of souls are bunch of emo try-hards who want to steal skeleton heads, so they can smoke them or something, they will have you fighting groups of skeletons on different islands, Merchant Alliance are Tats! dont make eye contact! leave away! but they do make cargo run or animal fetch run, its pretty relaxing, good money so probably wanna talk to them, but they are still tats!"

"Oh yeah, dont forget to take animal crates from them if you take animal missions from them, S-shut up, Its just a rookie mistake, shhh!"

"Now lets take a look at your ship, this is your ship, and you can upgrade it and make it bigger by using gold coins, the bigger your ship, the more wealthy you look like, dont worry, you can make it as big as titanic and f*cking crush it on an ice berg"

"Anyways, You want resources? here in the barrel, and this barrel and also this barrel, you could stock up resources by looking for barrels around the islands, then you can put them in your inventory"

"Inventory?"

"Yes, just think of the word inventory, now you can put your items inside your inventory, well, its that simple, anyways, lets get to know your ship."

"First is the helm, this stirring wheel thing, cap stand for anchor drop stuff, sail trim for sail drop stuff, and this sail turny thing, well, its for turning the sail, I don't care if there is a plausible name for it, its just the turny sail thing, its SCIENCE!"

"Now this is your main sail, well, its only your main sail, so there is nothing to be confused about, now if you climb this ladder, you will reach the crows nest, if you like good views you will stay here all the time because it looks beautiful looking up from here"

"Now if you see this, this is called the flag box, you can use this flag box to change your flags, now be careful in choosing one, especially this Pinata Beacon, if you use this, you will be targeted by everyone, it also tells your position, now if you look here, this is the alliance flag, if you use this, you will be a friendly, you will be able to make an alliance with the others, now be careful and not trust anyone"

"Welcome to the sea of Thieves~, thats the most important thing okay, the sea of thieves~ anyways, before you start your sail, you must first go to the three factions to accept quests, but for starters go to Humprey the gold hoarder, now go on, I will wait for you"

Everyone ran off, except for Tanaka who already have it, the others ran fast and got voyage scrolls from Humprey.

A few minutes later, the ones who are tasked to get the scrolls came back.

"That's good, now The captain, follow me here as we are going to initiate your voyage on the mission table."

The captains followed his instructions and saw scrolls appeared on the table.

"Pick which voyage you would like to go, "

Once everyone picked the scrolls.

"Now thats done, look at the scroll and you will find an island on it, now all you have to do is look for that island in the map table, dont worry, there's no island that had the same things."

Once the captains found the island which took them a long time to find, they returned to the deck and instructed the crew mates.

"Now for you, Raise the anchor, Lower the sails! you are going to set sail! Hey watch out for that rock!"

*Grumble!

"..."

"Anyways, remember that turning sail thing! Science! now look above you and you will see those wind lines, it shows you which direction the wind is going, now turn your sail on that direction and then Boom! your ship is now fast and the furious"

"Once you reached the island, you wont know maybe will be able to find treasures"

"How about this?"

"No, not planks, Th- ugh, anyways, look at your scroll captain and find where the mark is on the island!"

They looked at the scroll and was able to find where it was in a few minutes, everyone didnt go immediately and they looted the whole island before they left.

"Now, if you got bored of the voyage, you really have no obligation to do it, you can just make money by hopping from to different islands looking treasures around the world, trust me, its easy to make money"

"Now thats done, JUST REMEMBER! dont forget to look at your horizon, climb up the crows nest or an advantage point and do aim mad scope 360 make sure there is no one around, then do go hunting, but always do aim mad scope 360 every 5 minutes, remember! this is the sea of Thieves~"

"Now you probably noticed this little sea outposts in your travels, they are home to the hunters core, a fort function in the sea of thieves, They smell.."

"They will buy any fish and meat from you, you can get from this! its called a fishing rod, thats why its called a fishing rod"

"You can get any bait in many spots in an island, and definitely there's non inside the houses, hey dont you try and do it!"

"I definitely wont"

"Anyways, you can also kill poor defensed animals to get some meat,"

He used a sword to kill the chicken, then another chicken past by him, but Jack jumped back like he saw his long nemesis.

"but not this one, EVER!"

Jack pointed on a rooster chicken which was color white and red.

"It will make your ship sink! FACT!"

Jack returned to the ship and went inside, neatly placed barrels could be seen and there is also a metal cage, Jack ignored it and went towards the stove.

"Now that you have meat you can cook it, just smelling it makes me hungry"

After he finished cooking it he picked it up and raised it.

"I wont share this, ahoy!"

"..."

"Now look at this"

Jack showed a picture of a ship.

"You see this, this is a skeleton ship, you can notice it easily, because it looked like a floating disco, now, STAY AWAY FROM THESE!, they have treasures, but trust me, their bad news for a new player"

"There is also this thing called Kraken, it will kill you, so start praying, there is also this guy, its called Megalodon, it comes from many variety of flavors, such as black berry, spearmint, and lies! if you dont wish to fight him just go to a nearby island, it will leave you alone.

"And now, You want story? come I shall give you story, for now lets go to a sea outpost"
