Chapter 125: - 125: The Great Tsunami
The ship surged across the sea, cutting through the waves with speed and purpose. Trailing close behind were seven or eight pirate ships, their sails emblazoned with the banner of the Edward Pirates, fluttering proudly in the wind.
"Captain Edward, while we haven’t confirmed which pirate crew attacked us, the suspects are likely the Hell Pirates, the Bondy Pirates, or the Golden Pirates... one of the rising Supernova crews."
"No need for you to get involved personally, Captain. With us on the job, it’s overkill already!"
Several top officers of the Edward Pirates had come along for this mission, leaving their base on Bristol Island dangerously exposed. If Rocks made a move now, they could lose everything.
"Vesper and our other two allies are keeping an eye on Rocks. As long as we strike fast and settle things on Elan Island, we can head back right after."
Edward wasn’t reckless. He had already coordinated with his so-called allies to secure his flank—at least enough to prevent anyone from stealing his turf while he was away.
But if he didn’t reclaim Elan Island, what pride would he have left? His status as a New World ruler was already under question. Now, he was being pushed around by other pirates?
If he didn’t make a show of force soon, he’d be laughed out of the seas—even he couldn’t keep pretending to be a king in the New World.
In truth, Edward was furious. What was this unknown pirate crew trying to pull? Was it because he had the lowest bounty among the three new overlords? Did they see him as an easy target?
Did they really think he was some soft fruit ripe for the picking? Today, he’d make them remember who he was.
"Captain Edward! We’ve entered the waters around Elan Island. Should we deploy a scouting team or proceed with a direct assault?"
