On the vast sea, a three-masted medium-sized sea ship rode the wind and waves, moving in a certain direction with full power, leaving a long white wave behind it. At the top of the mast, a pirate flag with a skull and an anchor flutters in the wind.

"Little ones! Cheer up and drive at full speed, the big fat sheep is ready to be slaughtered! A big man with a huge anchor as a weapon shouted, his eyes shining like a hungry wolf's green light, "Even if those big pirates eat and wipe them clean, they must leave us some soup, that is not a small fortune!" Even the gods of fate are looking after us this time! ”

He was echoed by the wolf howls of the ship's pirates. Although they were only a second-rate pirate group in the Sea of Watch, when they heard the news that the Zaun giant Gilgamesh was transporting a huge amount of cargo, they happened to be cruising in a not very far area, and the experienced captain "Giant Anchor" Bardes guessed that a large number of powerful pirates would soon gather, and keenly sensed the opportunity, and hurriedly urged the crew to come out.

This time, they're ready to do big!

Just when the whole ship was too excited to imagine a better future, the watchtower ...... Well, an eager voice suddenly came from the lookout pole: "Captain, a five-masted ship is approaching in a hurry!" ”

"It's a pirate, right? Can you tell which pirate group it is? Giant Anchor Bardes frowned and said unhurriedly.

"It's Chaman! It is the ship of Chaman, the first swordsman of the sea! ”

Bardes was not calm for a moment: "Xia Mang?!" Hurry up and raise the green flag (a flag that expresses friendship among pirates) to get out of the way! ”

The pirates, who had always been lazy in response to the captain's orders, showed remarkable efficiency, leaving their original channel in a very short time to make way and raising the green flag high on the mast. The people on these ships breathed a sigh of relief, generally speaking, weak pirates would not be attacked as long as they showed respect for a powerful pirate group, after all, there was no oil and water, and no one would waste shells. Next, the pirates on the ship lay on the fence and looked at the approaching "Spike Sword" with an attitude of admiration, which is a rare opportunity to observe the pirates at close range only a dozen meters at sea, and it is also a capital to brag about it in the future.

The "Stinger" was first-class even among the five-masted ships, and soon approached the distance of only one ship from the three-masted ship, and the many pirates lying on the fence on the ship cast envious eyes, wondering when they would become a member of this level of pirate group, and even the eyes of the captain of the giant anchor Bardes were full of envy, and their hearts could not help but give birth to the ambition to compete with it in the future.

At this moment, there was a strange movement on the side of the "Stinger", and in the blink of an eye, a row of black holes of cannon muzzles rose. Everyone in the Giant Anchor Pirate Group changed color instantly.

"Boom!"

At the fence next to the "Stinging Sword", looking back at the wreckage of the hull that had been destroyed and burned with raging flames, Fang Yan shrugged: "It seems that there are more guys fishing in troubled waters this time than expected, this is already the third." ”

Holly on the side said: "How can it be so easy to fish in troubled waters?" First clean up some of the along the road, and wait until the alliance over there is reached to carry out another big purge, and drive out all the people who don't have the strength. ”

Fang Yan nodded slightly. If he had been replaced before, he would definitely not be so indifferent in the face of such a cruel purge, but now that he has experienced the baptism of his pirate career, Fang Yan has become accustomed to some of Bilgewater's laws. Weakness is a crime, and it is a capital crime to be weak and not see yourself clearly!

Facing the wind, the canvas was puffed up, and the "Stinging Sword" flew forward like a sharp sword piercing through the waves and in the wind. If someone could look down on the sea from above, several pirate ships from different directions would be heading towards the same place!

The smell of danger seemed to fill the air.

……

Iwo Jima, a deserted island in the Sea of Watch near Valoran's Great 6, is the only thing that impresses people is the volcanoes that erupt from time to time on it. However, this isolated island, which is usually deserted, is now bustling with people, and seven or eight five-masted ships are moored at a safe distance on the shore around Iwo Jima, all of them flying a flag symbolizing pirates.

If you have a sharp eye, you can also see the fragments of many ships in the waters around Iwo Jima, including the wreckage of a five-masted ship. Obviously, they are some unlucky people who don't know how to advance or retreat, although they may be regarded as powerful pirates who are usually called on one side, but they are obviously not qualified in this place where the strong gather.

Take a look at the ships docked here: the Abyss, the Blackbeard Marshall, the Hunter, the Hunter, the Phantom Pirates, and the Angel Hunter by Jack Davis...... To put it bluntly, apart from the two pirate kings Whitebeard and the Dark Lord, who didn't arrive, this humble island is surrounded by most of the best pirate groups in the Sea of Watch!

This is a feast for the strong!

Obviously, Chamang was also one of those who qualified to join them, and when the "Thorn Sword" approached from afar and had a tense confrontation, the famous "Thorn Sword" was still accepted and docked on the edge of Iwo Jima. Of course, all the pirates here must have a diswelcome attitude towards another guy picking fruits, but who would take the risk of fighting with Xia Mang to be this rising bird? If they really dared to make a move, the other pirates near Iwo Jima would definitely sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the two sides would take advantage of the situation to divide it up in one fell swoop, which everyone knew, so even Planck, the plague of the sea, who was the king of pirates, did not dare to act rashly.

Soon after the "Bayonet" docked, a pirate wearing the symbol of the Abyss invited Chamang to the temporary meeting point on the island, and Fang Yan knew that it was indeed Planck, the plague of the sea, who was the pirate king, who was faintly in charge. The pirate began by stating that each captain would bring a maximum of two of his men for safety.

Of course, this so-called meeting of Chamang has to go, as for the rule of bringing a maximum of two subordinates...... After thinking about it, Xia Mang also agreed, after all, even Planck didn't dare to play any ambush in front of so many top pirate groups, and controlled the brain-dead behavior of the captains of each ship, if he really had the strength to eat so many strong people at the same time, he would have become the only pirate king a long time ago.

As for the two subordinates brought in, of course, the strength of the first cannot be weak, not that they will be underestimated by other pirate captains, after all, everyone is an old acquaintance who knows the roots, but in case of something - there is no trust between pirates. As the deputy captain of the "Bayone", Hawley's strength is certainly enough, but it is precisely because of this that he has to sit on the ship when Captain Chamang is away, in the final analysis, he is still guarding against other pirates. The ship's first mate needed to assist Hawley, and Shamang chose the second mate, Rutgers, to follow him. As for the other person, Xia Mang unexpectedly chose the newly joined boatswain Fang Yan, which made Fang Yan himself a little puzzled, after all, there were no other masters on the ship. However, Fang Yan finally nodded and agreed.

Without much delay, under the leadership of the Abyss pirate, Xia Mang took Fang Yan and the second mate Rutgers to the temporary meeting point on the island.
