They all call me Great Master-Chapter 962 - 940: Door and Thunder!

When Marinda and Arthur landed on Coconut Island, it was just before dawn on the second day.

With the 'White Crow', they could have arrived faster.

However, their speed was delayed considerably to test the various performances of the 'White Crow'.

On the deck, Marinda looked at 'Horton' welcoming them on the beach, and despite Arthur earlier informing her that it was a Human Puppet General, Marinda couldn't help but exclaim—

"Truly impressive."

The lady's praise was not only for Arthur but also for the 'rebel' Robin.

Marinda certainly knew of that 'rebel' Robin.

In fact, Marinda was also aware of human puppets.

However, Marinda had never seen a true human puppet.

More of it was recorded in books.

"Moreover, very practical."

Arthur said with a light laugh.

Then, he lowered his voice.

"Did you inform our cousin of the news?"

Upon hearing Arthur's address, Marinda's eyes curved into a slit, her azure blue eyes narrowed even more, and she could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

"Of course.

Our engagement news must be reported to my only relative immediately.

She was very happy.

Standing at 145cm tall, she jumped off her chair at the news."

As Marinda spoke, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Then, her voice became extremely low.

"Do you know she's quite annoyed with you teasing her?

Seeing you now, she might lightning-strike you."

"Me, Arthur, afraid of being struck by lightning?

Tsk, actually children's table and chairs are more suitable for our cousin.

I'll send a set to her."

Arthur displayed an air of disdain.

Marinda was startled.

Marinda knew very well about her Earl cousin's sensitivity regarding her height; if Arthur really sent a set of children's table and chairs, this familial tie would be severed.

Although having Arthur, she wasn't truly concerned, having an extra family member wasn't bad.

Being a businessman, Marinda calculated things quite clearly.

Arthur laughed and patted Marinda's arm.

"Rest assured, when sending out that set of children's table and chairs, I'll also send her a gift—

That gift will be enough to make her forget any displeasure."

Arthur referred to the gift as [Lannister's Height-Increasing Insoles].

This gift is indeed a killer for short people.

That Countess?

If she knew, she'd likely do anything to obtain them.

Even if it's just a secret technique item.

"Remember to inform our cousin about the location at a crucial moment."

Arthur reminded seriously.

"Mm."

Marinda nodded even more earnestly.

Although Arthur hadn't told her much, she guessed something.

Because she guessed it, Marinda became more and more cautious.

She was too aware of how insidious the bastards hidden in the dark could be, so the lady wisely chose to stay on the 'White Crow'.

In her eyes, besides being around Arthur, the 'White Crow' was the safest.

And when Arthur needed to personally do something, the 'White Crow' was undoubtedly the safest choice.

The two exchanged a smile.

Arthur leaped down.

"Master!"

'Horton' who had been waiting for a long time bowed respectfully, and the pirates standing behind the Human Puppet General displayed even more respect—the rudeness and audacity of pirates exist only when alive.

Once many have died, even pirates understand decorum.

Matilda stood slightly behind 'Horton'.

The lady discreetly observed Arthur while saluting.

The lady didn't know Arthur's identity.

However, 'Horton's attitude was enough to show her what to do.

But...

'Not as handsome as 'Horton'!

Just a bit stronger, that's all!'

Matilda started talking nonsense with her eyes open.

Arthur noticed.

But Arthur didn't care, 'Horton' was his vest; he knew too well what Lady Matilda wanted.

'Too bad it's a human puppet...

Hmm, not quite.

The General Puppet probably won't do.

But the Marshal Puppet would.'

Just as Arthur was about to retort, he thought of another human puppet 'Old Lion'.

The opposite not only replaced 'Old Lion's identity but also bore three children, completely reversing the notion that human puppets are just high-level constructs.

Clearly, the 'Path of Human Puppets' is viable.

Therefore, the human puppet 'Old Lion' could do it, and so could his vest.

As for the level differences between human puppets?

He, Arthur, had a mouth.

As long as he said it and others believed it, then it's true.

If it weren't for worrying that making 'human puppet' into a human would be as extreme and costly as reaching demigod, Arthur would almost declare his 'vest' as human.

"Please follow me."

'Horton' led the way obediently.

The pirates beside immediately cleared a path.

Every pirate maintained a respectful posture.

No matter how displeased they were at heart, no one dared to show it.

After all, those with backbone had long been cut to pieces.

The ones left?

Have the will but lack the courage.

And that's exactly what Arthur needed.

Excavating a relic is not something one person can accomplish.

These pirates make quite good expendables.

Just like the relic before them.

Hercules' laboratory.

Even though it is one of many laboratories, the defensive machinery within is still rather lethal; plus Arthur needs to save time.
