"A seemingly ordinary Sea God statue possessing real and powerful effects suggests that there might be very advanced forces in this world, like deities."

After communicating with the crocodile-man strongman, Wang Zhifan quickly understood that this world is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface. This means that in his future actions, he must consider this aspect and not provoke enemies that should not be provoked due to a moment of carelessness.

At the same time, this miraculous Sea God statue also strengthened his resolve to control this ship. The existence of such a good thing ensured that when he traveled to the Storm Sea to seek islands, he need not worry about ordinary storms, and his efficiency would be significantly higher than other sea vessels.

Immediately, he left the cabin of the pirate ship and returned to the captain's cabin on the upper deck, planning to personally guard there for most of the time to prevent the pirates from having any malicious thoughts. It would also conveniently allow him to summon the crocodile-man strongman and the one-eyed old man for counseling work at any time.

Especially that old one-eyed dragon, they say people get wise as they age. Wang Zhifan felt that his verbal offensives might not have much effect on him. He planned to focus on intimidation to see if he could make the old guy, who claimed to have searched for Forbidden Fruit Island, work for him.

And so, relatively calm days of sea voyage passed day by day.

During these days, Wang Zhifan stayed on the pirate ship to oversee everything. The pirate ship was mainly operated by the sailors from the Sea Parrot, without leaving key positions to the pirates to prevent them from causing trouble. This allowed the pirate ship to always follow behind the Sea Parrot at a constant speed towards Princess Harbor.

At the same time, during this period, Wang Zhifan also ordered the pirates to put away the Great Horn Shark Pirate Flag and thoroughly clean the deck, washing away every bloodstain with seawater. Then, according to the Sea Parrot's captain's suggestion, he made some other arrangements so that this pirate ship could disguise as something else.

Thus, three days later, the Great Horn Shark Pirate Ship and the Sea Parrot passenger ship arrived at their destination, Princess Harbor.

As soon as the two ships approached, they found a rather tall white battleship moored at the port. Then, quickly, several small boats were lowered from the white battleship into the sea, with people in white clothing boarding them and heading straight for each ship entering the port.

"Sir, those people in the small boats are imperial navy inspectors. They have considerable authority, responsible for verifying whether each sea ship has the qualifications to enter the port or any smuggling activities. Please be very careful not to offend them."

At this moment, on the disguised Great Horn Shark Pirate Ship, not only Wang Zhifan himself was standing on the deck looking over the sea surface below, but beside him also stood the captain of the Sea Parrot. Clearly, this person highly valued his promise to Wang Zhifan and had not stayed on his own ship to handle the naval inspection personally, coming over to help instead.

"Alright, Captain, we'll trouble you later. Let's proceed according to plan."

Wang Zhifan nodded slightly after hearing this. As an outsider, he wasn't very familiar with the ins and outs of this matter, planning to rely as much as possible on the captain of the Sea Parrot. If anything went wrong midway, he would then come up with specific solutions.

Thus, a few minutes later, as several steel hooks latched onto the sides of the pirate ship, two naval inspectors in white clothing climbed onto the deck along ropes.

The two who came up looked like they were both in their twenties, very young, but they both wore sour expressions with their noses upturned, showing "I'm the greatest" written across their faces.

"Who is this ship's captain! Come out now! Also, hand over the departure location, navigation route, passenger list, and cargo manifest!"

As soon as the two inspectors stepped onto the deck, one of them didn't even glance at the waiting crew, immediately issuing a loud command.

"Inspector! I am the captain! Everything you asked for is here! Please take a look!"

The Sea Parrot's captain, who had been waiting, immediately greeted him with a smile. As someone who often runs this route to Princess Harbor, he was well aware of the inspection rules here, so he had long prepared everything the inspector required, or rather forged it.

After the captain handed the prepared materials to the speaking white inspector, the person began to read with a stern face, while the other had already begun to walk around the ship's deck vigorously, sweeping his gaze over all personnel and cargo, occasionally flipping through various cargo boxes. However, no one dared to express any dissatisfaction with his actions.

Approximately half a minute later, the inspector responsible for reading the materials suddenly frowned and shot a suspicious look at the captain in front, then said:

"Your Sea Parrot was registered at our port as one passenger sea ship, namely that smaller ship next to us. But now you're suddenly reporting an additional, large ship under your name. Does this make sense? How do you explain this?"

Faced with the inspector's doubts, the Sea Parrot's captain immediately employed the prepared excuse.

"Respected Inspector, this large sea ship was borrowed from an old friend to expand my business. Recently, passenger transportation at sea has been booming, as you may know. Those of us who have spent half our lives at sea may not be able to afford another ship immediately, but renting one from an old friend is quite common. My old friend is..."
