All creatures have an instinct to surpass the one who created them.
no?
No way.
If that’s the case, it’s probably just that he doesn’t have the strength to overcome it yet.
The law of predation is that if my creator is weaker than me, he will of course try to eat him.
“I feel my suzerainty.”
“What do you mean, Captain?”
A pirate queen who commands a large ship floating on the sea like a horse running on land.
Alice brushed her curly purple hair and poured rum from the bottle into her mouth.
“Whoops. Lanka.”
“yes. Captain.”
Short creamy hair and brown skin. A woman with a jeweled eyepatch on one eye answered with a pout of particularly thick lips.
“It sucks. I’m not ignoring what you said.”
“Then you have to explain. What do you mean, the servant has come?”
Elis, who wiped the rum dripping down her lips with her sleeve, smiled thickly with sharp eyes.
“Did I ever tell you?”
My real owner is different.
At that small whisper, the woman called Langka raised her hand and touched her plump lips.
“ah… under?”
I don’t know about the others, but Alice did. No, that’s what the doppelganger, who was now Alice but was called Kish in the past, thought.
After all, a few people die every day, and the body disposal from the incoming pirate ship is eventually thrown into the sea and turned into meat.
‘Then shouldn’t I be able to eat it?’
The suzerain and root of all doppelgangers, and now his owner, who has the name Zero, is in a pure state without any memory contamination, but the rest of the doppelgangers were different.
In the Labyrinth, it was called Quiche, and now, on this sea, it was called Alice, I could be sure. Doppelganger is a creature that becomes stronger the more it devours someone.
‘I originally guessed it, but I realized it for sure. We are monsters and the more we eat, the stronger we become.’
So ate. Dozens of people and subhumans. the monster.
I couldn’t have a strong sympathy like Zero, but I was able to know it faintly.
That you were the first to complete your mission.
Thanks to the uniqueness of being a pirate, he received less checks or suspicions and absorbed overflowing nutrients, so in a way it was natural.
From slaves to dead members and prisoners of the same pirate crew. Or, how strong will Alice be, who has blossomed while piracy on the sea, now that she has swallowed dozens or even hundreds of other pirates?
‘If you swallow the suzerain… Could I be the suzerain?’
How much did Zero realize this rebellion through sympathy?
“what do you think about it?”
“Wouldn’t it be worth a try?”
Once in the middle, I was caught by Lanka eating someone.
He tried to eat her too, but Langka was stronger than he thought, so he almost died.
From noble mtl dot com.
Rather, it was because he was reborn as the real Elise thanks to collaborating with the pirate queen Ellis, who had a grudge against her before she was eaten.
Alice, who was the only best friend who knew that she was not the real Alice, but her doppelganger, Langka, clenched her hands, and smiled while showing her teeth.
“If successful.”
“Let’s rule this sea for once, together.”
The rum bottle in my hand made a bang like a glass, and after bumping once, the two of us drank in gulps.
“Then, Lanka. release the man The suzerain, Zero came to the Namhae Islands.”
“Then I’ll send people mainly to the places where the gates are installed.”
“Your impression is very ordinary. Maybe brown hair and brown eyes… I’m falling out… It’s not even poisonous.”
The servant who was always kind and friendly. I’d rather take that burden and be born anew, and I’ll let you enjoy only the good things.
Alice banged the rum bottle on the table full of sheaths with a determined face! raised
“There will probably be a guy with blonde hair next to you. But if you tell him that Kish asked to see you, he’ll sneak out. so.”
take it politely
Langka nodded at Elise’s words, and the jeweled eyepatch scattered light thanks to the flickering candle.
“I follow the command of the captain.”

“What do you think is the most important thing in the Namhae Islands?”
I sat down at the lodging where Luna and Leaf came to, tapped on the table, and opened the map of the Namhae Islands that had been obtained for a large sum of money.
“ship?”
He opened his mouth saying that it was true to what someone had answered and then continued.
“First of all, since it is an archipelago, there are many islands, and each island has a lot of large and small towns or villages and pirate dens.”
In addition, the further away from the continent, the more marine monsters appear, the more pirate ships appear, and various weather debuffs. Where is the Kraken area, where is the mermaid area, and where is the headquarters of the pirates.
The Namhae Islands stage was rumored to be the most difficult in the game.
It’s very low when you move along the coastline, and on the contrary, the moment you go out to the ocean with a sense of adventure.
‘It’s not about luck or timing when it comes to games.’
I don’t know about everything else, but things like weather debuffs and whirlpool surprises don’t work well.
If you’re prepared, it’s a unit… … .
“It’s actually not easy to find people who know all about the power structure of those many islands and races, and also know how to drive a ship.”
You may think that money is all it takes, but in fact, in the case of named units, it is often difficult because they are very subjective.
At least Arman, even if I persecuted and pressured him to become a beggar, there was no way he would fall flat on his personality.
Unless it’s an intention to stab my stomach later.
‘It was too much money to turn down… There are people I can’t communicate with.’
A decent sailor NPC always has one strange quest.
“Your belly is important, but in fact, it can be easily solved by applying money.”
Is your stomach big and slow? All you have to do is attach an acceleration artifact.
If it’s big, it’s likely to be caught on a reef and broken?
All you have to do is cast a strengthening spell and buy a bunch of magic repair kits.
Even though it’s expensive enough to make the average person’s eyes pop out.
‘I’m Adelian’s Guardian Crew.’
Money is my strength, so what can I do?
“But sailors are different. It’s hard to find the right ones.”
He knows the waters well, guides us properly, and at the same time will not conspire with pirates.
“So it is. I intend to stay here for a while and find a good sailor.”
If you want to be okay, you’ll have to see it through the eyes of the user… I wonder if the floating feeling will go down quite a bit here.
‘It can’t be helped.’
consumption is necessary
I thought so and looked at the map for a while, but Zero suddenly opened his mouth.
“Are you talking about the sailor?”
“Yes, sailor.”
At my words, Zero scratched his gray hair, thought about something, and smiled like a benevolent big dog.
“Listening to rumors or seeking information is something I always do, so I will do my best to help. Even if I go a little further, I will be back within a week.”
“but. It will take some time to go to another island.”
Will you be away for a few days? I glanced at Zero at Luna’s words.
For some reason, the green color inside the jewel felt cooler than usual.
‘Is the lighting different because it’s by the sea?’
Looking at her, Zero just smiled mildly.
Well, there’s nothing for Zero to buy and hit.
“Do it. Just in case you don’t know, bring a siren with you.”
Don’t stay outside for a long time without a word or contact like anyone else.
I stare at Kane, and Kane stares into my eyes very confidently and drinks tea.
“Anyway, if you find a crew member, you can put them in right away. Shouldn’t we get a boat as well?”
-That’s right. It is possible that a person can be saved earlier than the manager thinks.
To Rachel and Riff’s words, I replied indifferently.
“Here is the Namhae Islands. There are so many halfway sailors and ships that you can kick your feet. And, in fact, it’s easier with a ship than with a sailor.”
Well, unless it’s a great ship like the Black Pearl in a movie, you can always buy a moderately large and popular ship.
You don’t need to get a legendary ship. In fact, being strong is my top priority.
‘Because it’s obvious that you’ll be attacked if you enter the mermaid territory.’
Wouldn’t it be better to put defensive magic on the entire ship or get the bow statue with an enchantment?
“It’s been a while since I spent some gold.”
“If gold was magical power, he would be worse than a dragon.”
I laughed at Rachel’s giggling words.
“of course. Then I will be stronger than you.”
“what? Wanna join?”
Seeing Rachel clenching her fists, I said confidently.
“I will appoint Kane as my great warrior.”
“and. Look at how bad it is.”
No, then I’ll change the gold into magical power first!
‘Why don’t you give me something better than the user’s eyes and floating feeling?’
Watching Rachel loosen her clenched fist, I pick up a cookie in front of me.
“Anyway, when you go out on a boat, you have to live on the sea for a while, so is there something you wish there was at least this on the boat?”
I tossed a cookie into my mouth and mumbled as I grabbed the pen and Luna opened her mouth.
“I want the bedroom to be in a space where everyone can live together like now, rather than a private room.”
“Well, that’s easy. If it doesn’t work, you can remodel it.”
“I am a liquor store.”
“The liquor store… what good also.”
As I write on the paper with a quill pen, Zero opens his mouth this time.
“I wish there was a kitchen on the bedroom side, rather than the ship’s own kitchen. Why don’t you decorate the accommodation like a house on a ship?”
Normally, ships have a separate dining room floor and a separate bedroom floor, but it seems that we do not want to be separated, perhaps because we are always living together or because we are homeless due to the nature of the party.
‘Well, considering the time he came out of the labyrinth, he’s still young, so he’s at the level of a baby.’
What he looks like is a big and naive young man, but that’s because of the race characteristic of being a doppelganger.
In fact, most of our parties are like grown-up children.
Kane was the one who rolled the most in society… … .
‘I’d rather not know anything.’
It was because Kane only rolled so violently that he developed human loathing.
So, in fact, it would be better for everyone to have separate rooms like a house rather than a dorm where all rooms are divided, but keep talking like this.
“Don’t Kane and Riff want anything?”
―I want to put a bookshelf in my bedroom.
Perhaps it was a hobby that came from searching for data and history on airships in the capital city, it seems that at some point Leaf attached his mind to reading books.
‘So I wrote with Composition D.’
I opened my mouth, recalling the dizzying past.
“That is not difficult. Leaf.”
-yes. manager.
“bump… If you need to inform something, it’s not bad to draw a picture rather than write. Much more intuitive.”
—… I’m gradually getting to know the charm of writing. Let’s also think about the picture.
Riff looks bewildered at my words.
Of course, if I come now and say this, it won’t change anything.
While laughing, Kane opened his mouth belatedly.
“prison.”
“prison?”
Other than me, the other guys also looked puzzled at Kane’s words.
No, why all of a sudden?
“To be precise, a safe zone. He is not a person who can return even if he is thrown off a rocking boat.”
Let’s keep the missing person from coming out.
and look at me
uh?
Who is this guy?
“Dismissed.”
Wherever you want me to go, to have fun fighting. Kane smiled lightly when I said, with a straight face, that it was dismissed.
That guy, he pretended to be joking, but it was obvious that he was serious.
“Then what do you not need, Bocchan?”
I was like, ‘Jail… … After drawing two sticks on top of the words ‘?’, he smiled at Luna.
“me?”
I’ll do everything on my own except for what you said.
