"Du Ran, take out the paint, canvas, and accessories stored in the cabin and put them on the beach."

Fang Yu spoke to Du Ran, then took the lead to walk down from the ship.

"Oh... okay!"

The burly man Du Ran was slightly stunned, but he was naturally very happy to be needed, and happily began to move box after box of goods from the Salted Fish ship.

These items were procured over the past two days by Fang Yu, who contacted the military at Qiyun Port to have them purchased and delivered to him.

Looking at the boxes of paint, canvas, and accessories being offloaded from the ship by several crew members, Luo Kuan and others couldn't help but show expressions of confusion.

What is the Captain planning to do with these things?

Right now, more importantly for everyone, should be launching an attack on Ijima Island, shouldn't it?

Why stay on Yunjiji Island and mess around with these things?

But since the Captain is handling them before deploying, he definitely has his reasons.

The Captain never does anything meaningless; the crew just needs to follow and execute orders.

After moving the boxes of goods onto the island, everyone instinctively looked towards Fang Yu to see what he planned to do with them.

But when everyone's gaze turned to where Fang Yu was just standing, they didn't see Fang Yu's figure.

"Eh? Where did the Captain go?"

"He was just standing here..."

The crew was bewildered.

But soon, everyone saw Fang Yu commanding a row of military vessels to sail beside the beach filled with goods.

Fang Yu then reached out his hand and loudly spoke to the military ships: "Alright everyone, come down and use these camouflage materials to paint and dress your ships to look like pirate ships!"

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, everyone was momentarily stunned, quickly realizing something, and then with bright eyes, without a word, they jumped off the ships, grabbing paint, canvas, and accessories, and started to camouflage the ships.

Not only the Sharp Blade Army ships, even the military vessels stationed on Yunjiji Island received instructions from Kong Huaao at Qiyun Port:

To follow Fang Yu's orders completely.

So, although Fang Yu directly commanded only the 50 ships of the Sharp Blade Army,

The 300 military ships on Yunjiji Island were temporarily assigned under Fang Yu's command.

Kong Huaao gave Fang Yu the command for this battle, ordering him to lead all military ships on Yunjiji Island to execute the mission.

Currently, the number of ships under Fang Yu's command reached 350.

Of course, due to entering a state of war,

Only the 50 ships of the Sharp Blade Army, upon defeating enemies, would provide the Salted Fish crew 20% of the battle experience.

As for the other 300 ships, defeating enemies would only yield 5% of war experience.

(Note: Chapter 156 explains the calculation of war gains)

Nevertheless, with significantly increased strength under Fang Yu's command, it brought him strong confidence in the upcoming war.

Without hesitation, he ordered his fleet to disguise their ships as pirate ships.

Lavish looking ship cannons were covered with canvas and hidden.

The deep navy military paint was repainted in pirate ship styles with the paint Fang Yu procured.

As for accessories, they were specifically purchased to restore the chaotic and disordered appearance of pirate ships.

The ships lined up, each painting their vessels to resemble pirate ships.

After painting was completed, Fang Yu glanced at them.

If the resemblance was high, it was approved, and the ship could wait aside.

For low resemblance...

It was rejected and had to be redone.

It almost felt like a teacher grading papers.

"Hey brother, what are you doing? Why paint the military ships like this?"

Yunjiji Island, being a large Sea Ore Island, naturally had Blue Star Captains stationed.

At this moment, several Blue Star Captains, seeing Fang Yu and the military ships' actions, were stunned and approached Fang Yu, curiously asking.

After hearing the Blue Star Captains' questions, Fang Yu turned around and replied with a smile: "It's preparation for a mission, but the details are confidential."

"If anyone would like to join, you can join my team; just disguise your ship like a pirate ship."

"Other Blue Star Captains are welcome to join as well, the more the merrier, strength in numbers."

"However, I'll say this upfront: Mr. Kong has fully assigned the mission to me. If you want to participate, you must follow my orders throughout."

"Anyone who disobeys and acts independently, I'll report to the military and have them dealt with for violating military orders."

Fang Yu thought about it and decided to gather the Blue Star Captains, then spoke to them.

It's important to know that there are still over a hundred Blue Star Captains on Yunjiji Island, stationed with duties to inhabit the island.

Each Blue Star Captain is a strong vessel-level captain, which is not a force to be underestimated.

If all hundred Blue Star Captains could be recruited, the strength under Fang Yu's command would elevate to another level.

At this moment, after hearing Fang Yu's words, various expressions appeared on the faces of the Blue Star Captains.

"Following Fang Yu's command completely?"

Someone murmured, showing an expression of hesitation.

"He's just a freighter-level captain, lower in rank than all of us. Why should we follow his orders?"
