Sheyan read through the notification and looked at the rewards.
'Hmm these two things are great, I will upgrade my gun when I find a better one. This also made me remember that weapons can level up, I have only strengthened the weapons with my own ability until now but I didn't level them up with the help of the nightmare realm, I shall do it this time when I go back.' Sheyan thought as he stored the rewards Inside his storage once again.
{ You have completed an achievement. }
{ Participating in an event and achieving 1st rank in both individual and overall ranking. }
{ You receive an A grade ability snatching opportunity. }
'Hahaha another ability is on the way.' Sheyan laughed loudly as he heard his system's notification.
*SWUSH*
Suddenly a blue flare rushed into the sky with a loud noise.
*BOOOM*
The flare bloomed in the air and revealed a message.
Pirates who just came up on the deck noticed the message and mumbled.
"That's a message from Queen Anne's revenge."
"It says, all pirates are invited to Wolf Dome Island in the south to talk about battle contribution and divide the loot." A literate pirate spoke.
The pirates turned to look at Sheyan.
"Should we go captain?" A pirate asked.
"No need." Sheyan replied.
"Aye aye captain." Pirates answered.
"My lord, are we planning to run away?" Gankhar asked Sheyan tentatively.
"No of course not, by the way, can any of you send that flare in the air with a message?" Sheyan turned to Gankhar and spoke.
"Yes my lord, I can do it." Gankhar replied.
"Good, then relay my message." Sheyan nodded and replied.
As Gankhar and Bagon heard the message, a strange look appeared on their face.
"You sure about this my lord?" Bagon asked with a worried face.
"Yes, do it." Sheyan nodded.
Gankhar and Bagon looked at each other, but since it was Sheyan's order they had to follow it.
Gankhar took out his tools from his pouch and very soon launched a flare in the sky.
Pirates around the place noticed the blood-red flare very quickly.
"That's a message from that godly ship." A pirate whispered.
"What will it say?" Another pirate questioned.
All the pirates squinted their eyes to read the message carefully.
[ All the pirate ships are invited to send their representatives to us after 2 hours. The representatives can bring as many people as they want along with them. Let us entrain you while discussing about the contribution and how the loot will be divided. ]
The blood-red flare bloomed and revealed a very humble message filled with goodwill. Like some aunt next door was inviting them to visit her place for dinner with a sweet smile.
"That ship is inviting us to go there instead of Wolf Dom island."
"Could it be a trap?"
"I don't think so, the message says we can bring as many people as we want and who will dare to lay a trap for so many pirates along with Davy Jones and Blackbeard."
"That's true."
"That's true but what about the response from Blackbeard and Davy Jones, are they gonna follow this instruction?" A pirate asked in a questioning tone.
*Swish*
Another dusty blue color flare rushed into the sky and revealed a message.
[ We accept your offer. ]
"Blackbeard accepted the offer."
"Hahaha great, then let us go there too, I also want to see that godly ship from up close "
-----------
Inside the cabin of Queen Anne's revenge.
Blackbeard sat on his majestic chair, a cunning smile decorated his face.
"Hahaha I was thinking about how to invade that ship but now this idiot actually gave me a way on his own." Blackbeard laughed loudly while speaking.
Blackbeard called in his subordinates to prepare for taking over the divine ship.
On the deck of Flying Dutchman.
Davy Jones glanced at the divine ship swaying lightly in the water with a shine in his eyes and an evil smirk on his face. He turned around and looked at the thin old man standing in front of him.
"Select our elites, we will take over that ship today." Davy Jones said to the old man.
The old man nodded and left to carry the order.
On the deck of Wicked Wench or the Black Pearl in the future.
An energetic young man encircled the Captain Morgan and spoke with excitement.
"Hey hey being me with you. I want to see that ship from us close."
Captain Morgan didn't look at the young man and kept moving.
"You are still a kid, only the elites will go to that ship, the rest will stay on the ship on alert, ready to provide support at any time." Old Morgan spoke.
"Come on captain, please." The young man said with persistence.
"No means no." Captain Morgan spoke and left with a huff.
The young man showed an annoyed expression but didn't give up hope and followed behind Captain Morgan once again.
Back to the merchant ship.
"Captain, are you sure about this?" Bagon asked with worry in his voice.
"Bringing those old coots to our ship, I don't think it will be a good idea, Captain." Gankhar also spoke of his worries.
"Don't worry about it, on our ship, nothing can harm us." Sheyan replied with a smile.
By this time, many pirates had come out of the merchant ship.
Sheyan looked at them and ordered.
"Move all the loot you find and the corpses to our mate Scarlett as soon as possible."
"Aye aye captain." Pirates answered and got to work once again.
"My lords want us to prepare more undeads with those corpses?" Gankhar asked after hearing Sheyan's orders.
"No, it's for something else. Let's go back to the ship." Sheyan replied and used the switch ability to return to Scarlett.
Girls and the contestants also boarded the Scarlett at this time after dealing with the ships they brought back.
Now around Scarlett were 5 pirate ships, two Spanish warships, two merchant ships, and numerous small broken boats.
Krist and Charl walked up to Sheyan first and spoke.
"Sir, we are back."
Sheyan nodded with a smile and spoke.
"Good work, you two. Now can you two please go and tell the pirates to move all the loots and corpses to the main ship as fast as possible."
"Yes sir, We will get them to work right away." Charl and Krist replied and rushed to complete the task.
Sheryll and the contestants came up this time, behind them were three new faces.
"Sir, I received the second rank in individual ranking and 4 rank in overall ranking." Sheryll spoke with a sweet smile on her face.
"Ohh that's nice, good job." Sheyan patted Sheryll's head.
Sheryll showed an enjoying expression for a moment, but suddenly snapped out of it and moved back.
Sheyan smirked and ignored her.
"Thank you, sir, because of you we also managed to enter the top 10 in individual rankings and our overall score reached 3rd rank." Luke spoke with excitement.
"No problem, now tell me who are these guys." Sheyan replied with a smile before gesturing towards the new guys.
Sheryll once again came in front and spoke. "Sir, let me introduce them."
"These two guys and that girl are all contestants, they wanted to surrender, so we brought them here." She explained.
"Are you really the captain of this amazing ship?" A sweet voice full of doubt and curiosity sounded at this time.
Sheyan turned to the source and found a 4ft 11inch (150cm) cute girl standing there, staring at him with her shiny and adorable eyes.
Sheyan smiled and nodded. "Yes, I am the captain. But what are you doing here little girl, where are your parents?"
"I AM NOT A LITTLE GIRL, I AM 20 ALREADY!" The cute girl suddenly bared her teeth and shouted while fuming from her ears.
But suddenly the realization struck in and she quickly covered her tiny mouth with her small hands and looked at Sheyan with fear in her eyes.
"Ahahahaha, ok ok you are a big girl. What's your name?" Sheyan laughed and asked like he was talking to a tantrum-throwing small child.
"It- it's Shanaya." The girl replied with fear.
"Nice, and what about you two?" Sheyan turned to the two guys standing beside Shanaya.
"My name is Rusty Ball."
"And I am Light ball, sir." The guys replied.
"Wait wait, I am not Shanaya, I am Butterfly Ball." Shanaya suddenly showed a panicked expression and spoke hastily.
The guys beside her, looked at her with pity and shook their heads while sighing.
Other people present also looked at her with pity on their faces.
"Gahahaha" Sheyan laughed loudly once again.
"Is this her first world?" He asked while looking at Rusty Ball and light ball.
"Yes sir." Light ball replied.
"Then it's understandable." Sheyan spoke while looking at Shanaya.
"Well, my name is Sheyan. Nice to meet you all." Sheyan introduced himself to all the contestants present except Sheryll since she already knew his name.
"Some of you might be wondering why I gathered you all. So let me explain, the thing is while I was dealing with things in this world, I felt the lack of qualified people to help me deal with the tasks. As you all know, I am just one person, even tho I already have two very qualified subordinates but they are not contestants like us and can't deal with some specific things. So I decided to make a party." Sheyan continued in a calm and slow voice.
"I was lacking members for my party so I gathered all of you. Now tell me whether you are willing to join my party or not. There is no pressure, if you don't want to join then you can leave, I don't mind it."
The contestants looked at each other to see each other's thoughts.
"I am willing." Sheryll directly agreed, she has been with Sheyan for a day and already knows what he is capable of to some extent. How could she refuse such a lucky offer.
"Umm sir, we are also willing." Luke spoke after he inquired with all of his friends and they nodded.
"We are also willing to join." Light ball and Rusty ball also added their agreements.
Shanaya looked at them and also agreed to join.
"Good. I welcome all of you." Sheyan showed a happy smile.
"Send us the party invitation sir." Light ball spoke.
Sheyan showed a dodgy smile.
"Uhh that, I haven't established a party yet." Sheyan spoke.
