Chapter 413. Transparent Corals
"Even though we’re merchants, business hasn’t been great lately. How about we give half the toll and call it even?" a merchant pleaded, trying to negotiate with the Tash Sun Pirates.
"You guys are seriously haggling?" one of the pirates scoffed in disbelief.
Just then, a loud splash echoed through the sea. A massive anchor, shaped like the letter W, plunged into the water with a dramatic crash. The ocean rippled, drawing everyone’s attention.
The White Pearl had arrived.
Standing proudly on the deck was a masked man surrounded by an entourage of stunning women in shimmering swimsuits, their confidence radiating as they posed without a trace of shyness. Each of them looked like they had just stepped out of a divine painting—elegant, playful, and dangerous.
It was none other than Tyler White, accompanied by Lily, Mathilda, Mana, Darla and Su Fei.
Without hesitation, the group leapt gracefully into the water, splashing into the crystal-clear sea one by one.
From afar, the Tash Sun Pirate Captain observed the scene, puffing up his chest with pride. "Now look at that ship. No haggling. No complaints. Paid the toll without a single groan. That’s the kind of respect we expect! And remember, as long as you’re in this territory, I swear on those orange clouds—no one will touch you!"
"Captain... those are white clouds," one of his crew members quietly corrected from behind.
The captain squinted at the sky, frowned, and waved the comment off. "Whatever, the point stands."
As the sun bathed the sea in golden light, the waters sparkled in vibrant hues of aquamarine and silver. The surface was calm, and the clarity of the water revealed shadows of reefs below—twisting shapes that hinted at the legendary Tiger Reef.
