Chapter 133: - 133: Dawei’s Surrender
Dawei hesitated. He had hoped to stall for more time, but Rocks was already moving again—he wasn’t giving him a single opening.
"Rocks! I, Dawei, am willing to submit to you—but only if I get to be Vice-Captain of the Rocks Pirates!"
The moment the words left Dawei’s mouth, the crew exploded.
"Vice-Captain? Who the hell does this guy think he is?!"
"Get real! You think you can just walk in and claim that title?"
The high-ranking officers of the Rocks Pirates were fuming. None of them had any interest in suddenly taking orders from some newcomer. While there was an internal ranking system—mostly used when it came to splitting loot—on deck, everyone was essentially equals unless it came to battle for status. Dawei demanding to leap to the top was outrageous.
"You cocky bastard! You think we’ll let you boss us around? We’ll kill you right here if we have to!"
The officers shouted in unison. Alone, Dawei was formidable—but against a whole crew of elite pirates, even he wouldn’t last long.
Rocks raised a hand, signaling them to quiet down.
"Dawei, cut the games. Vesper isn’t coming. And just so we’re clear—there’s no such thing as a Vice-Captain on my ship."
A cold grin curled on Rocks’ face.
