When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.
Chapter 38 Demon Dragon Pirate Group

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Demon Dragon Pirate Group

Gem Sea, Deserted Island, children...

Chen Qing exchanged glances with Gao Yue and others who were also attracted by the voice of the newsboy. They all simultaneously muttered curses under their breath.

How could they not be clear about Moana’s daughter being among the children on the deserted island!!

Especially Chen Qing, the real Moana’s daughter, Daliya, was now picking up the Deep Blue Weekly delivered by seabirds and fish from the ship deck.

Those survivor kids were really caught in an undeserved calamity!

"Let’s first try to contact Zhao Fuli and the others to see what’s going on."

"This is just too unlucky, could it be that Moana’s daughter is really mixed up in that group of children?"

Chen Qing, Gao Yue, and the others gathered to discuss in low voices.

Daliya joyfully brought the newspaper to Chen Qing. Chen Qing unfolded it, and the headline of today’s Deep Blue Weekly was about Daliya.

There was also a photo, which seemed to have been taken from above, sneakily.

But the Captain of the Thunderbird Pirate Group who was photographed had already noticed, and was laughing arrogantly at the camera.

In his hand, he was holding a child, a girl about Daliya’s age.

Next to the weekly report, there was also a photo of Moana posted specifically for comparison.

The moment they saw Moana’s photo, Chen Qing and the others fell silent.

The captured kid... looked strikingly like Moana.

"Could there be a possibility... that she really is Moana’s daughter, just mixed into our team?"

He Congrong raised her hand weakly and asked.

"I think your suspicion makes a lot of sense."

Qiao Zhiyu patted He Congrong’s shoulder, nodding earnestly.

Given the resemblance of those two faces, who would believe they aren’t related?

"Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know by the reaction of those pirate groups."

Gao Yue folded her arms. If the captured kid really was Moana’s daughter, then the Great Pirates of the Deep Blue Sea area would definitely leave Sapphire Island.

After all, Sapphire Island was Lei Guang’s delivery point, not the delivery point for Moana’s hostile forces.

The stance of the Thunderbird Pirate Group was unclear, but if they sided with Moana, her adversaries would certainly not allow them to get to Sapphire Island.

"However, so many children falling into the hands of a group of pirates..."

"Moreover, there are more than just children on that deserted island..."

Chen Qing’s concerns were different from theirs. With so many people being captured...

How would the Thunderbird Pirate Group deal with them?

"By the way, how many people went to that deserted island?"

"There should be more than two thousand survivors, I think."

"Hiss—"

Qiao Zhiyu sucked in a breath of cold air, they were all wiped out in one fell swoop!!

That’s just... Should they say those people were too weak, or the enemy too strong?

"Let’s just wait and see since this matter isn’t really closely related to us."

Gao Yue shook her head. The combined bounty for the Thunderbird Pirate Group was in the hundreds of thousands of goldfish, long-standing and renowned, not at all something they could tackle.

If it had been an outfit like Reynolds’s, they might have tried to save them.

Chen Qing silently read the newspaper, checking for any other useful information.

If all the pirates on the island were attracted away, it would be good for her and Daliya.

Not all, but if a part of them could be drawn away, it would greatly benefit her plans.

But... Chen Qing lowered her eyes, while Daliya next to her acted as if nothing were amiss.

There was one thing she had to guard against.

After all, the pirates, especially the You Gu Pirate Group, weren’t fools.

Would they set a trap, using the Thunderbird Pirate Group affair, waiting for them to walk right into it?

Or perhaps, the whole Thunderbird Pirate Group incident was orchestrated by them, just waiting for Daliya to show herself.

To verify this, they just had to wait for the reaction of those pirate groups.

Chen Qing had already prepared for the worst. All those pirate groups were standing on the side opposing Moana.

This meant that she intended to deliver Daliya into Lei Guang’s hands, taking on all the pirate groups by herself.

Just thinking about it gave her a headache.

Chen Qing barely perceptibly sighed, and Gao Yue next to her seemed to misunderstand Chen Qing’s intention.

"Stop thinking about it, we can’t save them."

She patted Chen Qing’s shoulder in a comforting manner.

"...Yeah."

Chen Qing didn’t deny it, instead continuing the conversation in the direction of Gao Yue’s remark.

"But with the incident involving the Thunderbird Pirate Group, our original plan..."

"Uh—"

Gao Yue and the others also realized that with such big news, wouldn’t their original plan have to be scrapped?!

Their ship!

"Wait, wait, the situation seems to have changed!"

Qiao Zhiyu suddenly spoke up, and all the pirates nearby were attracted to look over by her voice.

She hurriedly lowered her voice, and the group immediately changed locations, all heading to the kitchen.

The kitchen space was large, a dining kitchen combo.

"I’ve made contact with Zhao Fuli."

"The Thunderbird Pirate Group didn’t just kidnap the kid suspected to be Moana’s daughter, they also took all the children and some of the young people just to be cautious!"

"The remaining people all united in resistance, barely escaping with their lives from those pirates’ grasp."

"Zhao Fuli and the others have just gotten to safety."

"And according to reliable information, the kid suspected to be Moana’s daughter is indeed the survivor! One of our own from Dragon Country!"

"All the children on that Deserted Island are survivors, no natives were mixed in."

Qiao Zhiyu laid out all the information she knew, and everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"This is just our luck."

Gao Yue helplessly raised her hand to her forehead.

And Chen Qing, sitting in the main seat, stared at the newspaper, silent for a long time.

"What is it, did you find something?"

"Look at this piece of news here."

Chen Qing lightly tapped a news item on the Deep Blue Weekly that appeared completely inconspicuous compared to the headline stories.

Though inconspicuous, the protagonist of the news was far from an unknown individual.

"Demon Dragon Pirate Group—returned from the Shadow Giant Teeth’s nest."

"What does this have to do with today’s events?"

Qiao Zhiyu knew of the Demon Dragon Pirate Group; they could be considered the strongest pirate group in the Deep Blue Sea area.

Chen Qing snapped her fingers, and the Superpower Vine pushed in a huge map of the Deep Sea area.

"The Deserted Island is here. If the Thunderbird Pirate Group wants to hand that child over to Moana’s rival, they would most likely take this route to Wind Island."

Chen Qing took up a pointer and traced a route on the map.

"The Shadow Giant Teeth’s nest is here, and the Demon Dragon Pirates’ main base is in the Mist Sea."

"Whether they want to come to Sapphire Island or return to Mist Sea, they will have to pass through this location."

"It’s a waystation."

"According to rumors, the captain of the Demon Dragon Pirates is Moana’s... die-hard solo fan."

"And according to the news in the Weekly, the Demon Dragon Pirate Group had been trapped in the Shadow Giant Teeth’s nest for over a month."

"It’s highly likely they are unaware of Moana’s death."

Chen Qing tapped the Pink Sand Islands on the map, then pointed at the news item on the paper, and everyone’s eyes lit up.

"That is to say, the Thunderbird Pirate Group is bound to clash with the Demon Dragon Pirate Group!"

Oh ho!

There’s gonna be a show to watch!
