Hey, the Yangzhou merchant fleet has run into a "cloying little nuisance" today! The most ferocious Salt Pirates of the Seven Seas have surrounded the fleet so tightly not even a drop of water could get through. Pei Hongxiu grips her sword hilt and frowns deeply: "Huwa! Quickly change the 'Peace Talisman' into an 'Anti-Thief Talisman'!" Squatting behind the cargo hold, Huwa chuckles as a piece of caramel in his hand goes "plop" into the lion-patterned fabric—he has sewn a ring of "bursting sticky candy" into the claws of the dark blue lion. With a flick onto the deck, it sizzles and emits a cumin-scented honey mist, scaring the pirates so badly that their scimitars go "clatter" as they drop onto the sticky sugar carpet.
"Huwa! Hurry and bring over the 'Sweet Trap'!" the Protagonist shouts out. Huwa immediately pours a bucket of glutinous rice syrup into the loom, and the woven Arabian astrological net actually clicks and clacks as it speaks in pirate slang: "This road is carved by me, this sweetness is planted by me! Want to pass this ship? Leave your tongue behind!" Just as the pirate chieftain steps on Orion, the sweet net sprays out peppermint bubbles, sticking his big beard into "frosting coral." Huwa puts his hands on his hips and laughs: "Pirates too fierce? What I have here is the 'Sweet-Talking Pacification Technique'!" The Abacus Bead displays a head-knocking animation: "Suggest applying for a 'Non-Violent Pirate Taming System' patent!"
