The most important purpose of Link's trip to the pirates is to join forces behind the "Grey Rabbit".

Before the Duke's crisis was resolved, it was difficult for Link to use the seized golden snake coins to purchase supplies and hire mercenaries through formal channels.

The various pirates in the Pirate Conference are naturally in opposition to the official authorities of various mainland countries.

He is famous for recognizing money but not people, and is the best dealer for Link.

‘The premise is, don’t be their target.’

Link secretly warned himself that he must be careful to deal with this pirate conference. After all, his power is too weak compared to those famous pirates, and if he is not careful, he may be taken away by someone.

Link: Grey Rabbit, where should I trade with you.

After a while, the gray rabbit icon on the panel in my mind lit up.

Grey Rabbit: Are you finally ready? I'm almost bored in Skull Island.

Skull Island is located at the junction of three major sea areas between the old and new continents.

These three major seas are the fog sea close to the old continent, and are famous for the fog that has not dissipated for many years on the sea.

The golden seas near the southern coast of the Neo-Basil Empire and the Nord Kingdom are famous for their busy and abundant maritime trade.

Finally, it is located on the west coast of the Nord Kingdom and the North Sea waters further north. The North Sea waters intersect with the Nord Kingdom, the Kingdom of Virgia in the northern border and some grassland tribal territories, and the forces within the scope are the most complex.

Miluo Island where Link is located is also at the junction of the three major sea areas, not far from the Skull Island where the Gray Rabbit is currently located.

Link: So, are you going to Skull Island to contact you directly?

Gray Rabbit: Well, when you arrive at the periphery of Skull Island, someone will stop you. Then tell me that I will come to pick you up in person.

‘Gray Rabbit actually wants to meet in person? She is not afraid...? Forget it, I guess she wouldn’t think of this danger either.’

Link thought of Gray Rabbit’s previous speech and felt that she had definitely not considered the risks that would bring about exposing herself.

‘Fortunately I met me, otherwise this innocent woman who was inexperienced would definitely pay the price for trusting others.’

Link: That's it.

Link looked at the distance on the chart in his hand and calculated roughly.

Link: I'll contact you in about two days.

Gray Rabbit: OK! See you all!

Gray Rabbit's excitement was beyond words, which made Link sigh again that he was such a simple woman.

The "group" has been quiet these days.

The border conflict between the Grassland people led by the Gatu tribe and the New Bass Empire is coming to an end. The Wild Horses revealed that their leader has led his tribesmen to leave the border and return to his former gathering place. The terrible Grassland winter is coming, and this friction will eventually end.

The fox originally wanted to provide winter supplies to the wild horses as a reward, but because of this conflict, the imperial border was blocked and he had to look for opportunities next time.

The white pigeon, who is in the old continent, has never given up looking for traces of the alchemist, but unfortunately there are no valuable clues.

After making an agreement with Gray Rabbit, Link came to the warehouse near the manor.

This is used to store semi-finished sugar crystals processed on the island.

Every quarter, the sugarcane on the island will mature once, and the warehouse will be filled with working Gini people. Under the guidance of the technicians in the manor, the sugarcane will be peeled, washed, pressed, and filtered. Finally, special reagents that accelerate condensation will be added, dried and crystallized in the sun to make the final semi-finished sugar crystal.

Link walked into the slightly empty warehouse, and the full warehouse of goods left Miluo Island with Captain Parker.

When you approach a few square containers by the wall, what you left here are sugar crystals produced by missing the departure time.

"Is sugar crystals such a yellow translucent thing?"

Link picked up one and put it in the sun to watch it. It was not crystal clear, with a gray and light yellow color, which looked very much like the old rock candy in his memory.

"Sir, don't look at this box of sugar crystals weighing only 50 kilograms, its arrival price on the west coast is 50 silver snake coins per kilogram."

(To avoid the conversion problem of mass units, metric units, kilograms, tons, etc. are used uniformly. The previous article is 0.45 kg for 1 pound)

"So, can this small box contain 50 Golden Snake Coins?"

After hearing Carl's introduction, Link couldn't help but take it in and calculate it himself. He remembered what Captain Parker told him that the supply fleet once a quarter would drag away all the sugar crystals produced on the island, with a capacity of between 15-20 tons.

‘Hiss, four times a year, ten thousand to twenty thousand gold snake coins at a time, and that is 60,000 to 80,000 gold snake coins in a year!’

Thinking about how excited I was about "just" 10,000 Golden Snake Coins yesterday, I was so boring. I should take a longer-term vision.

"Put all the sugar crystals here in the ship away."

He ordered to Carl on the side.

Link originally only wanted to bring the golden snake coins and homemade holy water recipes to trade with the gray rabbit. Looking at the packed sugar crystals piled up in the warehouse, he had a new idea.

It is counted that there are about one ton of scattered sugar crystals. These sugar crystals can be used as nearly a thousand gold snake coins to consume. Pirates tend to barter from scarce supplies.

The sun is just right and cloudless, it is a good weather for sailing.

In the afternoon, Link took Tony and the four men and twenty Virgia guards onto the three-masted sailboat in the port and began to advance towards Skull Island.

There are dozens of boxes of semi-finished sugar crystals weighing nearly a ton in the cargo hold under the deck. There are more than a dozen bottles of precious holy water prepared by Link himself, and the nemesis of scurvy.

As for the golden snake coins, Link only brought a thousand pieces. Every man was guilty of being guilty of being a treasure. He did not think that his group of only twenty warriors could have much deterrence in the pirate's nest.

The two-day voyage was not long, and Link finally arrived at the waters near Skull Island.

I took the chart and compared it with the crew for a while before I decided on the right direction.

Skull Island is famous for its reefs all over the island. Without sailors who are familiar with the route, ships are prone to accidents in reefs.

The name of Skull Island comes from countless wrecks scattered around the island, and their souls add to the reputation of Skull Island.

After sailing for a while, I finally saw a small dot belonging to Skull Island at sea level.

Ships with pirate flags from various seas began to appear on the sea surface.

"Boss, there are so many colleagues here."

‘Is that so much? There are currently the most influential pirate kings in the world gathered here.’

"How many times have you said it! Don't expose the fact that we have been pirates before, just beware me!"

Link didn't want the Grey Rabbit to know that he had been a pirate, especially when he realized that the Grey Rabbit might belong to a direct force of a certain pirate king.

When I thought of the gray rabbit knowing that he was a little pirate, he might have spoken in the group: "Hey, gray wolf, you are also a pirate, what? You don't even have a three-masted pirate ship? It's okay, I'll cover you in the future, hahahaha."
