Chapter 276: Section 64: Melee on Treasure Island

“Damn it.”

“They’ve stolen our stuff.”

“Treasure Island is our spoils of war!”

“What are we waiting for, let’s storm in.”

The pirates of the Justice Pirate Group clamored impatiently.

They had fought hard to eliminate the Silver Hook Pirates and had killed Golden Hook. In their eyes, Treasure Island should have been theirs to claim. Now, seeing these pirates slaughtering and looting on the island, they immediately felt their property was under threat.

...

“It shouldn’t be.” Di Lou frowned, “We’ve eliminated the Silver Hook Pirates, and these days, we’ve fully guarded this secret. Bishop Hao Fu also promised us to temporarily keep our victory a secret. Why would these pirates know that Treasure Island is now unguarded?”

Zong Ge then suggested, “This might actually be good. Let these pirates destroy the island’s defenses, and we’ll first attack their ships. No matter the outcome of the war on the island, as long as we destroy their vessels and surround this island, they’ll be like sitting ducks.”

Zong Ge was an excellent commander, and many were intrigued by his suggestion, readily agreeing.

However, the Dragon-man youth wore an expression of doubt, “Signal the flag, let’s circle the island, and see which pirate groups are seizing our treasure.”

The Justice Pirate Group immediately set sail around the island.

On the eastern side of the island, they spotted eight or nine anchored pirate ships.

More than half were demon energy ships.

The main ship among them was wide and tall, its hull painted a large swath of pink, with the bow and stern rising high. The sails were pure white. Above the ship, there was always a cloud floating, emitting a faint glow.

Di Lou’s face changed, “That’s the Cradle!”

The Cradle was famous throughout the seven seas, its captain was a Golden Level powerhouse named Nai Le.

He had once been a mighty Angel but was cursed by a strange spell, confining both his age and intelligence to the stage of a young child.

Yet, even as a young angel, his life order was of Gold.

“There are no Golden Level presences on board,” Zong Ge snorted coldly, “We can try to attack.”

“No,” Di Lou hurriedly stopped him, “See those clouds? They are actually two elemental beings, one is a Wind Element, the other a Water Element, both of Silver Level strength.”

“And there’s that mermaid lady on the deck.”

“She’s the First Officer of the Cradle, a very powerful bard. If I were to battle with her, I wouldn’t stand a chance.”

Everyone looked and saw the mermaid levitating in the air, her dreamy pink fluffy long hair flowing. Smilingly, she waved at the people on the Justice, greeting them very calmly.

“So beautiful.”

“Truly lovely.”

Many pirates exclaimed in admiration.

“Let’s keep looking,” commanded the Dragon-man youth indifferently.

Thus, the five ships of the Justice Pirate Group continued to circumnavigate the island.

On the north side of Treasure Island, they encountered another group of pirates.

These pirates didn’t have ships but instead used Sea Toads as navigational vessels.

The Sea Toads were huge, the largest one a third bigger than the vessels of the Justice Pirate Group, likely the flagship of this pirate band.

Some Sea Toads lay on the beach resting, others frolicked in the shallows, completely at ease.

Di Lou’s face changed again, “This must be the Poison Toad Pirate Group. They are all Frogmen and quite troublesome to deal with because they are proficient swimmers and can breathe underwater. Their flagship is a Sea Toad that can submerge to the ocean floor and directly attack the bottoms of our ships.”

“The squad leader of this pirate group is called Spotted Poison, a Golden Level Frogman gunner.”

Zong Ge’s face tensed. As an adversary, the Poison Toad Pirate Group was a difficult challenge.

The Justice Pirate Group had little experience dealing with enemies in the water, and what’s more, their weapons and ships were ill-equipped to fend off attacks from below.

The arrival of the Justice Pirate Group caught the attention of the Poison Toad Pirate Group.

Some Sea Toads settled on the coast, on high alert. Several Toads swallowed Frogman Pirates whole and submerged into the ocean.

“Continue sailing,” ordered the Dragon-man youth.

The Justice Pirate Group quickly moved away from that stretch of coastline. The Toads that had dived just moments before resurfaced, opening their mouths and regurgitating the numerous Frogman Pirates.

The Frogman Pirates threw themselves into a frenzy on the sand, screeching and celebrating even more boisterously as the Justice Pirate Group retreated.

The Justice Pirate Group sailed to the west side of Treasure Island.

This time, they saw only one pirate ship.

But the ship was enormous, it would take three Justices put together to barely match its size.

The sails of the pirate ship were bizarre, actually knitted from wool.

And the pirates on deck were all massive, giants from the Giant Race!

“The Woolly!” Di Lou covered his forehead.

“Oh, a bunch of little rascals have come,” boomed a voice from the deck of the Woolly.

The voice came from an old granny sitting in a huge rocking chair.

The old granny had sagging muscles, a face full of wrinkles, and the appearance of dim vision.

Her figure was also massive, clearly that of a giant.

No one dared to underestimate her.

Because she radiated a strong aura of Gold.

This was none other than the Captain of the Woolen Yarn—Granny Coarse!

Granny Coarse was holding a long knitting needle, busy knitting a brownish-yellow sweater.

“Let’s retreat,” the Dragon-man youth ordered.

Granny Coarse was not a fighter, but a witch of the giant race. She had a physique comparable to that of the Gold fighters, but her methods were far more diverse and cunning.

The Justice Pirate Group continued to sail.

Finally, south of Gold and Silver Island, they discovered seven pirate ships.

The pirate flag bore a white skull with a bright red slash drawn across it.

Di Lou sighed, his voice filled with bitterness, “The Red Slash Pirate Group! Their captain, Xie Ba, is also of the Golden Level, and every member of this pirate group has a red slash across their face.”

“This isn’t just for show—it’s a Totem that grants them temporary substitute power.”

“The more they kill, the more power they draw from the Totem.”

“The Red Slash Pirate Group is extremely belligerent, utterly mad, and their bloodthirsty name is known across the seven seas. Sometimes, even Holy Domain Level forces don’t want to provoke them.”

After circling around Gold and Silver Island, the Justice Pirate Group fell into silence.

It appeared that four pirate groups were currently invading Gold and Silver Island, all of consistent Golden Level.

Each pirate leader was a renowned powerhouse.

Let alone that the Justice Pirate Group only had half their ships here, even with their full fleet, they might not be a match for even one of these four pirate groups.

Though it was well-known that Golden Hook had died at the hands of the Dragon-man youth, everyone was aware that they took advantage of Golden Hook’s injury.

To truly face a Golden Level powerhouse, their strength was still not quite up to par.

Of course, to say that they couldn’t fight wouldn’t be right.

Against any one of these four pirate groups, the Justice Pirate Group did have the potential and hope for victory.

But the price they would have to pay would undoubtedly be heavy.

And at this moment, there wasn’t a second Bishop Hao Fu to perform the Great Resurrection Technique for the pirates.

“Captain Long Fu, what should we do next?” someone asked, looking pained and worried.

The Dragon-man youth remained silent; he was actually recalling the farewell with Bishop Hao Fu.

Bishop Hao Fu inquired why the Dragon-man youth was in such a rush to leave, and the youth shared his plan to attack the great Gold and Silver Island.

Of course, Bishop Hao Fu gave the youth a deep look. “Though Gold and Silver Island is not far away, the sea can sometimes bring swift and abrupt waves. Even on a calm sea surface, there could be whirlpools where currents meet.”

Thinking back now, the Dragon-man youth suddenly realized the profound meaning hidden in Bishop Hao Fu’s words.

Boom!

Suddenly, a pillar of light burst forth from Gold and Silver Island.

The column broke through the night, shooting straight into the clouds, brilliant and dazzling with golden light.

The source of the light was a massive heart.

“The Ore Heart!”

“Such a huge column of light—this must be a Holy Domain Level Ore Mother!”

“No wonder Gold and Silver Island has such abundant gold and silver ores—it was because of this.”

“With it, there would be a continuous supply of gold and silver ore.”

The Justice Pirate Group became restless.

They cried out and roared with anger. To many of them, this thing should belong to them.

And with the emergence of the Gold and Silver Ore Mother, the central area of the island also erupted with the fluctuations of a fierce battle among powerhouses.

Three Golden Level powerhouses fought fiercely over the Ore Heart.

Soon after, Granny Coarse laughed wickedly and floated into the air, flying toward the center of the island and plunging into the fray.

“They’ve started fighting!”

“We still have a chance.”

“Let’s have them fight until they are all severely injured, then we’ll snatch away the Ore Heart.”

“Right, and there’s the Golden Hook as well!”

The pirates’ eyes shimmered with excitement, thrilled at the opportunity.
