"Although I don't know where you got this information, since you appreciate our reputation and quality, I believe we can find common ground. The task you want to entrust to me probably aligns with our style. In that case, let's discuss the specifics further."
Quan Yi's response piqued Purple Pearl's interest.
Quan Yi replied, "In that case, I'll be direct. I want you to help us seize Golden Sand Island and Demon Dove Island."
"What!"
Purple Pearl exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't you know that these two islands are occupied by powerful Pirate Groups? The Golden Sand Pirate Group and the Demon Dove Pirate Group on the islands are individually stronger than us. Moreover, both Pirate Groups have several Soul Kings. We are just starting out and don't have the strength to compete with them."
Quan Yi raised a hand and pressed down gently. "Don't be nervous. Of course, I won't let you throw your lives away. We will secretly assist you in annexing the opposing forces. Have you heard of the Ghost Pirate Crew? This Pirate Group was completely annihilated by us for provoking the Quan Family, so you don't need to worry about your safety. What we really need is to use the name of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group to complete the occupation of these two islands."
Purple Pearl couldn't sit still upon hearing this.
The Ghost Pirate Crew was a powerful Pirate Group.
Its leader was a Soul Emperor.
It had over a hundred Soul Masters and nearly two thousand ordinary pirates under its command.
With its strength, the Ghost Pirate Crew roamed the seas unhindered, plundering the wealth of merchant ships.
In terms of strength, they were much stronger than the Golden Sand and Demon Dove Pirate Groups.
However, a year ago, the infamous Ghost Pirate Crew suddenly disappeared without a trace, completely vanishing from the seas.
At first, people were skeptical, but as time passed, they discovered that the sea routes originally occupied by the Ghost Pirate Crew were now open and free.
Only then did people truly believe that the Ghost Pirate Crew had become ghosts and disappeared from this sea area.
This event shocked the entire pirate world at the time.
Including Purple Pearl.
Originally, she thought that the Ghost Pirate Crew had encountered Sea Soul Beast swarms, natural disasters, or other powerful pirate forces, leading to their destruction.
However, Quan Yi told her that the Quan Family was responsible.
Although it was hard to believe, the Quan Family had no reason to lie to her, a small Pirate Group leader.
At the same time, this information made Purple Pearl fully understand Quan Yi's purpose.
They wanted to hide themselves through the Purple Pearl Pirate Group and use them to deter others.
Although she didn't know why the Quan Family wanted to occupy these two islands, it was clear that they were planning to do something that couldn't be noticed by outsiders.
This also meant that if she chose to join them, she might get entangled.
As expected, there were risks in cooperating with large forces.
And the biggest risk of cooperating with the Quan Family was that they might lose their freedom.
Since the other party had something they didn't want others to know, could their Pirate Group remain free as insiders? Purple Pearl began to think about this question.
However, she soon made up her mind.
That's the way to do it!
Moreover, the reason is simple: there's nothing wrong with cooperating with the Quan Family.
You should know that the Quan Family is very wealthy, and the shops they run are very popular.
Especially the various defensive equipment and machinery made from Sea Soul Beast materials, which are not only reasonably priced but also of excellent quality.
If she didn't still lack understanding of the Quan Family, she might have directly joined them.
With a wealthy and powerful backer, she wouldn't have to continue struggling at sea.
Therefore, Purple Pearl quickly made up her mind.
"Alright, in that case, I agree to cooperate with you."
Purple Pearl slightly curved her lips and extended her hand.
Quan Yi's lips curved up, and he reached out to grasp her hand.
"Happy cooperation!"
Thus, in the dimly lit captain's cabin, the two reached an agreement.
After reaching the agreement, Purple Pearl began to inquire about the specific details.
"Now that you've identified your target, you must have also determined your plan of action.
What do you need us to do?"
Looking at the volunteering Purple Pearl, Quan Yi found it somewhat amusing.
"Alright, I'll tell you our plan now.
We've decided to head to Golden Sand Island tomorrow to complete the task of occupying it."
A cunning arc appeared at the corner of Quan Yi's mouth.
In contrast, the expression on Purple Pearl's face directly collapsed.
...
The next day at noon, the scattered crew members gradually returned to the Purple Pearl.
To their surprise, there were two strangers on board.
However, none of them rashly approached the two.
The reason was that their captain, Purple Pearl, was obediently following beside the two, introducing them to the equipment on board.
They were astonished by Purple Pearl's soft-spoken explanations, their jaws nearly dropping.
Purple Pearl's personality was originally very irritable, and it was almost impossible to see her gentle side on normal days.
Purple Pearl's behavior made them realize that Quan Yi and Huo Wu had a significant background.
Quan Yi felt a slight headache facing Purple Pearl's 'enthusiastic' explanation.
"Alright, you should go prepare for departure; there's no need to keep staying by our side."
Quan Yi looked at Purple Pearl with a slightly annoyed expression and impatiently dismissed her.
Purple Pearl was very obedient; she turned around and shouted loudly at the crew members, "What are you looking at? Move your asses!
We're setting sail in a quarter of an hour!"
"Yes!"
Purple Pearl's prestige on this ship was very high, and all the crew members sprang into action.
However, the hundreds of people moved without any signs of crowding or chaos.
On the contrary, their actions were orderly and seemed very efficient.
In addition, with the inclusion of those Soul Masters, their work efficiency was extremely high.
Before long, they completed a series of preparations before departure.
Quan Yi had seen the scene when the Quan Family's sea ships set sail.
However, their departure was not as efficient as that of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.
In terms of sailing experience, they still had a certain gap.
Quan Yi silently took in the prepared scene, memorizing all the procedures and experiences in his mind.
Just then, an elderly pirate walked up to Purple Pearl and whispered, "Captain, we are ready."
Purple Pearl nodded in satisfaction.
She walked to the helm and shouted, "Target: Golden Sand Island!
Raise the sails, set sail!"
With Purple Pearl's command, the huge sails quickly dropped.
Under the force of the wind, the large sea vessel slowly sailed out of the dock.
