Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 700 - 346: Traitor Revealed, Taking the Initiative (Part 2)

Fang Yu, observing the circumstances, let out a hearty laugh and declared, "Brother, please accept it. Consider it a small token of my appreciation for the effort I expended in rushing here, thereby missing out on battle rewards."

The man hesitantly accepted Fang Yu's five gold coins, scratching his head. He then happily responded, "Thank you, Fang Yu. You must be vigilant against the Zhang Clan's machinations. When you find the occasion, do visit the New Navigation Alliance. The brethren are eager to make your acquaintance!"

"Certainly!"

Fang Yu offered a smile and a nod, watching the man depart.

Once the man's figure had vanished entirely from sight, Fang Yu's demeanor shifted to one of stern seriousness. Without uttering another word, he quickly turned and headed back to his vessel.

"Captain!"

A crew member on watch aboard the ship, witnessing Fang Yu's grave expression as he strode purposefully back to the 'Salted Fish', could not suppress their curiosity. They hurried over, inquiring, "Is something amiss, Captain? Has something occurred?"

Fang Yu nodded and then addressed the assembled crew, stating, "Summon the brethren who are still engaged in cultivation within the capsule training rooms. Everyone needs to recuperate their energy; we are setting sail!"

"What?"

Several on-duty crew members exchanged looks of astonishment. They swiftly moved to contact all the ship's crew members still undergoing training within the capsule training rooms.

The entire crew formed neat ranks, their eyes fixed on Fang Yu, awaiting his command.

"Brethren, the Zhang Clan is currently amassing their forces, preparing to launch an assault upon us within the safe sea zones."

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, shock registered on everyone's faces.

"How... how dare they engage in killing within a safe sea area?"

"What is transpiring? Are these individuals not apprehensive of repercussions from the Ocean Court?"

"If they truly eliminate a Blue Star Captain, will their own panels not transform into Hunter panels? Have they lost their minds?"

"Silence!!"

Witnessing the growing clamor among the crew, Ma glared and let out a cold shout.

Ma, serving as the head of the logistics team, bore the primary responsibility for managing the crew. Despite his typically amiable nature and pleasant disposition, the sight of the crew devolving into disorderly noise prompted him to deploy a mind-shaking extraordinary ability. This action immediately jolted the crew back to their senses, and silence descended upon them.

Seeing this, Fang Yu gave a slight nod of approval inwardly and continued:

"The current situation is precarious. Many disregard captain panels and hunter panels now. The opposing force possesses a secret treasure that enables them to launch attacks stealthily within safe sea zones without alerting the Ocean Court."

"The Zhang Clan is currently in the process of consolidating its forces, but once their mobilization is complete, we will find ourselves in a disadvantageous position."

"Therefore, at this juncture, let us not hesitate but seize the initiative. We must catch them off guard before their full assembly, eliminate their key personnel, and the remaining members will pose no significant threat."

After absorbing Fang Yu's declaration, the crew members' eyes widened in disbelief. However, under Ma's preceding admonishment, none dared to voice their concerns audibly.

Nevertheless, Luu Yuan could not refrain from speaking up:

"Captain, is not Zhang Yi of the Zhang Clan a Dragon Ship-level captain? Can we... truly contend against someone of Dragon Ship-level?"

"Dragon Ship-level?"

A sharp glint flickered in Fang Yu's eyes, and he responded with a cold tone, "So what if he is Dragon Ship-level? Zhang Yi, as the clan head, benefits from immense resources, yet rumor has it he has been perpetually stuck at the Dragon Ship-level for an extended period."

"Evidently, Zhang Yi's Law progression, much like Jiang Lin's in the past, has long been stagnant."

"Even if he holds the status of a Dragon Ship-level captain, he cannot be an exceptionally powerful one. It is plausible that we can match him."

"Moreover..."

A look of confident anticipation spread across Fang Yu's face. He lowered his voice and declared, "It has been an considerable duration since we have engaged in combat at our full capacity. Zhang Yi, being a Dragon Ship-level captain, I even hope he is not exceedingly feeble. Allow me to ascertain the ultimate capabilities of our vessel, just how potent it can truly become!"

Upon hearing Fang Yu's confidently assertive and commanding words, the crew members found themselves undeniably inspired. Their morale surged instantly, and they voiced their agreement in unison:

"That's right!"

"Precisely! The captain speaks the truth!"

"Let's depart immediately! We harbor no fear of them!"

...

Observing the crew's heightened spirits, Fang Yu could not help but display a smile.

"However... after all, they represent a clan, possessing considerable numbers and influence. We cannot simply rush in recklessly; we must execute a surprise strike..."

The crew members were momentarily taken aback.

In the subsequent moment, Fang Yu unfolded a scroll.

Instantly, a vessel identical to the 'Salted Fish' manifested in the port of Nanhui City.

It assumed the exact position previously occupied by the 'Salted Fish'. Meanwhile, the original 'Salted Fish' had already silently vanished into the void, dissolving without a trace under the influence of Fang Yu's Law power.
