Chapter 1: The Ocean

After some preparation, Wang Bo arrived in the new world.

Lady Gremory had returned to Hell, while Hela stayed in the previous world to continue making the antidote for the Thousand-Change Puppet Silk. Only Wang Bo entered the new world.

With the curse lifted and his strength restored, he feared nothing.

However, to Wang Bo's surprise, the new world turned out to be the world of Pirates of the Caribbean.

This was a very interesting world.

In this world, there were gods and mortals, but there were hardly any supernaturals. There was an insurmountable gap between humans and gods.

If the gods wanted to enslave the humans of this world, it would take no effort at all.

But fortunately, the gods seemed to have grown tired of revealing themselves before humans. For now, they had all hidden away, no longer appearing in front of humans.

The only goddess who appeared before humans was an unfortunate soul sealed in a human body.

Wang Bo remembered that this unfortunate soul was named Calypso, the sea goddess in Greek mythology, and also the daughter of Atlas, the Titan who held up the sky.

But although she was a sea goddess, her divine power was not on the same level as Poseidon, the Sea King.

Wang Bo guessed that Poseidon could defeat this goddess with one hand tied behind his back.

After entering this world, Wang Bo found himself in Port Royal, where the story began. But at this time, the story had not yet started.

At least, the fiancé of the heroine Elizabeth Swann, James Norrington, had not yet been promoted to commodore.

However, Wang Bo learned that Norrington had recently hanged quite a few pirates, accumulating enough merits. If nothing unexpected happened, his promotion to commodore would soon come through.

At least in Port Royal, many ordinary soldiers believed that James Norrington becoming commodore was only a matter of time, since the promotion order from the king was already on its way.

Once the order arrived, James Norrington would be a genuine imperial commodore.

That is to say, the story was about to begin.

"So, what changes have occurred in this world?" Wang Bo asked his cheat.

[You will know soon enough.]

The cheat did not tell Wang Bo directly, but instead kept him in suspense.

Wang Bo did not mind. He found an inn in Port Royal and settled down, determined to see what the cheat was holding back.

Three days later, Wang Bo noticed a commotion at the docks of Port Royal.

When he arrived at the dock, he saw a group of navy soldiers gathering on a ship, apparently about to set sail. Wang Bo hypnotized a soldier and learned from him that the officer delivering the promotion order had been attacked on his way to Port Royal.

Now they were about to set sail to support the battlefield.

Wang Bo keenly sensed that something was amiss, so he secretly boarded a ship. Commander James Norrington, after gathering his soldiers, immediately set sail.

Among everyone, he was undoubtedly the most anxious.

If he arrived too late and the officer delivering the order died, his hope of being promoted to commodore would be dashed. To avoid this, he wished he could sprout wings and fly to the battlefield.

After the royal fleet set sail, they rode the wind and waves all the way to the battlefield.

However, by the time they arrived, it was already too late.

The ship carrying the officer delivering the order had long been shattered into pieces. On the vast sea, there were only debris and corpses floating on the water.

James Norrington's expression turned grim.

But just then, a huge monster suddenly leaped out of the sea, opening its massive mouth and swallowing the ship carrying James Norrington in one gulp.

Seeing this, Wang Bo was speechless.

Because that monster was simply too huge.

Not to mention a ship, even an island was not as massive as this monster.

The sea monster kept by Davy Jones was like a little brother that hadn't grown up in front of this monster, nothing at all.

The moment Wang Bo saw the monster, he recognized its identity.

It was not a creature from the Pirates of the Caribbean world.

Rather, it came from another world—to be precise, a Sea King from the world of One Piece.

Sea Kings are creatures distributed throughout the entire ocean world of One Piece, found in all sea areas, but most live in the Calm Belt and deep seas. They are a general term for animals other than marine mammals.

Because of their strange appearance and enormous size, surpassing ordinary sea creatures, they are like kings of the ocean, hence the name.

They differ greatly in size, shape, and nature, and are the creatures most feared by sailors at sea.

Sea Kings living in the Four Seas and the Grand Line are relatively small, while the Calm Belt has super-giant Sea Kings as large as islands. It is precisely because of their existence that the Calm Belt has become a dangerous area almost impossible to navigate.

Sea Kings are not ordinary beasts and need to be distinguished from sea beasts. Sea Kings resemble fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and other non-mammalian animals, while sea beasts have the upper body of land mammals and the lower body of fish. Moreover, Sea Kings are generally much larger than sea beasts.

The biggest difference between the two is that Sea Kings cannot be tamed, while sea beasts can.

The reason is probably that sea beasts have little intelligence, but Sea Kings have long lifespans and high intelligence; some Sea Kings have intelligence equal to that of humans.

Of course, although Sea Kings have intelligence, they cannot speak human language or write, so humans cannot communicate with them. Even the merfolk and fish-men of the One Piece world cannot communicate with them.

The only ones who can communicate with Sea Kings are the mermaid princess with the name "Poseidon," who appears once every few hundred years on Fish-Man Island.

"So, the anomaly in this world is that Sea Kings have crossed over into this world?" Wang Bo, seeing the Sea King that had swallowed a ship, couldn't help but communicate with his cheat.

[Completely wrong. It's not that Sea Kings have crossed into this world, but that the oceans of the Pirates of the Caribbean and One Piece worlds have connected. Through this sea, Sea Kings can freely enter and exit both worlds.]

[If humans are lucky, after falling into the sea, they can also enter and exit both worlds.]

[This is the problem this world faces.]

Hearing the cheat's explanation, Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh. This was really unexpected. The oceans of One Piece and Pirates of the Caribbean had actually connected. Was this the misfortune of the Pirates of the Caribbean world, or the misfortune of the One Piece world?

Wang Bo couldn't say for the moment.
