The old man's explanation was quite clear—this pirate ship can't head straight to the Storm Sea just yet; it needs to dock to make proper preparations.
"Hmm, everything's easier once you're ready. How about heading to Princess Harbor then?"
Wang Zhifan, not yet fully familiar with this world, casually asked.
"Princess Harbor? It's definitely feasible to replenish supplies and repair the ship there. It's on the way to Storm Sea, though I've heard the navy has ramped up surveillance recently. It might be a bit tricky to sneak in."
The old man was somewhat hesitant about Wang Zhifan's suggestion.
"Don't you pirates ever go to official harbors? Disguising and sneaking in should be a common affair, right?"
Though Wang Zhifan was new, he easily reasoned that pirates couldn't be that honest; they should be well-versed in disguising themselves to blend in as merchant or passenger ships. This didn't seem like a big deal to him.
