Chapter 44 - The Sea of no Return

Captain Jack asks Thale why he is looking for the pirates. Thale tells Captain Jack about his past and how the pirates had attacked his city and killed his love. Captain Jack is moved by Thale's story and offers to help him in any way he can. Thale thanks him and asks if he knows any information about the 4th pirate king or where their base might be. Captain Jack says he doesn't have any concrete information, but he has heard rumours that the 4th pirate king is based in the Sea of No Return, a treacherous area known for its unpredictable weather and dangerous sea creatures. Thale thanks Captain Jack and decides to head to the Sea of No Return to see if he can find any clues about the 4th pirate king's whereabouts.

Thale gets off the next island, a little reluctant to leave the crew. Thale knows that he has to continue his journey to find the pirates who killed his family. He thanks Captain Jack and the rest of the crew for their help and friendship during his time on the ship. Thale promises to stay in touch and keep them updated on his search for the pirates. As he disembarks the ship, Thale takes a deep breath and looks around at the new island. He knows that the journey ahead won't be easy, but he is determined to see it through to the end. He gathers his belongings and sets off to gather more information on the whereabouts of the pirates. Thale knows that it might take a while, but he is confident that he will eventually find the ones responsible for his family's death and bring them to justice.

After searching for many days, he finds one ship that will head to the Sea of No Return. Thale buys a ticket and sets off on the journey to the Sea of No Return. Along the way, he practices his cultivation techniques and trains his body to be in top condition for the battles that lie ahead.

As the ship approaches the Sea of No Return, Thale can feel the tension and excitement building within him. This is where he will finally be able to track down the pirate group that destroyed his home and seek revenge.

The ship docks at a small port on the edge of the Sea of No Return, and Thale disembarks, ready to face whatever challenges and dangers lie ahead. He knows it will not be easy, but he is determined to see this journey through to the end, no matter what stands in his way.

The town is a ramshackle collection of buildings, cobbled together from various materials and in various stages of disrepair. The streets are narrow and winding, with the occasional puddle of mud or trash littering the ground. The air is thick with the smell of saltwater and fish, and there is a constant hum of activity as people go about their business. There are a few dilapidated buildings that seem to be serving as inns or taverns, and the occasional shop selling various goods. The overall atmosphere of the town is one of chaos and disorder, with the strong preying on the weak and no one seeming to care about the rules or laws. It is clear that this is a place where only the strongest and most cunning survive.

Thale looks young, dirty and poor, no one bothers him. The town is filled with rickety wooden buildings, most of them with peeling paint and chipped roofs. The streets are narrow and winding, and there's a distinct smell of fish and salt in the air. Many of the people in the town are rough-looking, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes. There are a few shifty-looking characters lurking in the shadows, and Thale can feel their eyes on him as he walks through the town. Despite the rough appearance of the place, there's a sense of community here, with people greeting each other on the street and children running around playing games. Overall, it's a tough and rugged place, but there's a sense of camaraderie among the people who call it home.

Thale finds a tavern and rents a room for the night. The Tavern is dimly lit and filled with the sound of laughter and clinking glasses. The air is thick with the smell of alcohol and sweat. Thale finds a quiet corner and sits down, feeling a little out of place among the rough-looking patrons. He orders a mug of ale and takes in his surroundings, watching as a group of pirates play a game of dice in the corner. A barmaid saunters over to him, smiling flirtatiously as she refills his mug. Thale smiles politely and returns to his thoughts, wondering how he'll gather information about the 4th pirate king in such a lawless place.
