Chapter 57

After the new members got acquainted with the others, Vermillion immediately organized a food party for them.

With the arrival of the new Servants, the Belly he had was automatically reduced due to their increased strength.

If it weren't for Marine's kindness, he definitely wouldn't have been able to reinforce everything. He only hoped to earn more money in the future.

Seeing that everyone had just gathered, except Kratos, who was still trying to contemplate and calm himself down, Vermillion nodded and opened the System's gift.

*Ding!*

[Master, congratulations, you have gained the ability to create teleportation runes. Master can use demon fruit to construct the runes.]

[Runes that have been built can be recycled back into Devil Fruit which you use by exchanging Belly worth six hundred million Belly.]

'Teleportation runes? As long as I have two rune points, then I can teleport to the place where the rune was built. I can even teleport with my Servants?'

'Interesting, but it's too wasteful if it costs one Devil Fruit. The more teleportation runes I make, the fewer Servants I can summon.' Vermillion stroked his chin as he thought to himself.

'But luckily it can be recycled when not needed.'

'I'll try to make one if I really need to.' Vermillion shook his head.

Drake's pirate party stopped when they reached Reverse Mountain.

The sight of seawater flowing up the mountain was so fascinating; Vermillion, who had never seen this, could only stare in awe.

"In all years I travel the world, I've never come across anything this beautiful." Lifting her pirate hat, Drake looked up at the majestic mountain with the reverse flowing water.

"It's great to be sailing in this world, my adventurous spirit is on fire once again!"

"It's amazing, isn't it? Then let us continue our journey." Vermillion smiled as he nodded toward Drake.

"Aye, aye, Master! Golden Hind!" Drake smiled as she pointed ahead.

Following Drake's orders, the Golden Hind immediately accelerated towards the gap in the mountain.

Even with the chaotic flow, it did not affect the Golden Hind's speed or cause any damage to the ship.

When Golden Hind wanted to drive up the mountain, they encountered a group of pirates.

"Captain, we're doomed! Our ship will no longer survive!" A pirate reported to his Captain.

"Damn it!" The pirate captain knew that his ship wouldn't last long. It would be destroyed if it continued to be battered by this chaotic water!

As a pirate Captain, he greatly desires to explore the seas of the Grand Line and conquer any island he comes across!

But now that wish is almost lost as the ship is about to sink and his life is in danger!

When he saw the shadow of the approaching luxury ship, the pirate captain's eyes immediately lit up with the light of hope.

"Bastards, listen up! From now on, your ship will belong to us. Get off the ship, or we'll kill you!" Jumping onto the Golden Hind, the pirate captain haughtily addressed his prey.

"I didn't expect that we'd get another ship, hahaha!"

"Yes, listen to what the Captain says, immediately jump out of the ship!"

"What unlucky people!"

The pirates laughed like vicious criminals. If other people's lives need to be sacrificed to save their own, then they would not hesitate to do so!

"Unlucky people? Isn't that you?" Approaching the group of pirates, Vermillion said in a bored tone.

"Hmph, are you fools deaf? Get out of sh- Eh?!"

Grabbing his pistol, the Captain was ready to use violent means. But when he looked back to the front, suddenly, a large shadow was in front of him.

Lifting his head up, the Captain was shocked by his opponent's tall, muscular and sinister figure.

Bare-chested, creepy face, strange weapon... The startled Captain subconsciously shot his opponent in the stomach.

*Bang!*

A loud gunshot rang out. The bullet that was supposed to pierce the opponent's abdomen instantly bounced off!

Seeing this, the pirates and the Captain were shocked. During their careers as ferocious pirates, they had never seen anyone who could withstand bullets with their bodies! Thanks to this, the pirates swallowed hard.

Backing up a few steps, the Captain retreated while pointing his gun at the opponent's head in fear.

"You... stop... get away from me!" The Captain said in a trembling voice.

"Lord Vermillion, leave them to me." Kratos glanced at his benefactor with a grateful expression. After that, he looked back at the pirates with a more ferocious gaze.

For small snails like them, there is no need to use the Blade of Chaos; bare hands are enough.
