The pirate ship captain Hett's face twisted as he looked at his nearly shattered pirate ship, fury surging in his heart.
The sailors on the pirate ship all stared dumbfounded at the ship that had suddenly rammed them; even two unfortunate fellows couldn't dodge in time and were smashed into pulp.
Hett cursed as he looked at [Eagle].
Suddenly, he noticed that although his pirate ship was nearly snapped in half, the other vessel appeared unscathed.
"Haha, I didn't expect your ship to be so good, it's going to be mine soon!"
Hett had this confidence naturally. As one of the pirates who had roamed the Pearl Sea for more than half a year, apart from those few pirate ships with Gold-level professionals, he believed it was his turn next.
His ambition was also to break through and become a Gold-level strong man, to join the top ranks of the Pearl Sea.
However, he hadn't expected today's mere routine plundering of a merchant ship to lead to such an accident.
Wielding the long knife in his hand, Hett clearly saw a few people standing on that strange ship.
The apparent leader was a handsome young man, whose clean and tidy, gorgeously dressed appearance didn't seem like someone who made a living on the sea.
Rather, he looked more like one of those Kingdom Nobles' descendants.
Hett had seen many of those before, and honestly, many nobles crumbled in terror at first sight of Hett, their faces full of fear, screaming for mercy.
The sight of those nobles kneeling and begging for their lives before Hett greatly satisfied his vanity.
After all, Hett had once been an adventurer in a kingdom in the southern part of the Fanor Continent, only to provoke a Great Noble by accident and had to flee his homeland in a desperate escape.
Hett grew to hate the existence of nobles even more.
After tormenting those nobles, finishing them off with a single stroke brought Hett a unique kind of pleasure.
But, the young man on the other ship was somewhat special.
Hett couldn't see any sign of fear or dread on his face; he looked calm as if nothing was amiss.
A sudden sense of unease struck his heart, but Hett shook his head, dismissing it.
Thinking too much was a waste of time.
"Men! Attack, seize that ship for me!"
At Hett's roar, all the pirates snapped out of their shock, temporarily forgetting the impact, drew their weapons, and bravely leaped towards the other ship.
The two ships were connected, not even needing a grappling rope.
Dozens of pirates fell onto [Eagle] like dumplings.
They couldn't help but be proactive; although their leader Hett was cruel to his targets, he was still fairly generous.
The more proactive ones got more Gold Coins.
As a result, many of the pirates on his ship were once sailors on the merchant ships he had plundered; now weren't they all working hard as pirates?
It was about saving their lives and making money.
For those with low self-expectations, it was not shameful at all!
On [Eagle], Evar nodded as he steered directly towards the pirate ship.
He had once questioned Lord Lis's orders, but after witnessing the hardened hull transformed by Lis, he never hesitated again.
He even started enjoying this thrilling sensation.
"Lord Lis, what's our next move?"
Evar asked Lis, already gripping his weapon in his hand.
"There are three Silver Professionals on the other ship; their captain should possess Silver High Rank strength. Take him to the sea, and coordinate with Charles like before."
"Basel and Charles will do the same, leave the rest to me."
Charles and the others nodded, no objections whatsoever.
For them, with powerhouse Lis backing them, there was nothing to fear.
Watching the pirates jumping towards them, Lis's crew picked up Shields.
They were not there to fight; their profession only required them to protect themselves, not to do the killing.
The leading trio among the pirates jumping from the other ship were just the three Silver-level strong men Lis had detected through the Detection Spell.
Evar, Charles, and their companions immediately confronted all three Silver Professionals.
This pirate ship they encountered was the strongest they had faced in the past month, with the previous pirate ships having only one or two Silver Professionals.
A pirate ship with a Golden Strong Man on the Pearl Sea was already considered to be among the top pirate forces.
After all, at this time, the pirate forces in the Pearl Sea couldn't compare to those from the chaotic future.
Although the leading trio was stopped by Charles and his companions, the remaining pirates kept falling onto [Eagle], wielding their weapons and charging at Lis.
In their eyes, taking down the remaining few seemed easy.
In front of them, the somewhat short Helen
Lis nodded and pulled a Jade Wand from his storage ring.
Lis's jade-green glowing wand struck the deck heavily, making a deep sound.
Five-Ring Magic [Resistance Ring]!
A white halo appeared once more, rapidly expanding from Lis's side.
As it moved over Helen and [Eagle's] sailors, it passed through them without causing a ripple.
But when it touched those pirates, they felt a tremendous force suddenly applied to them.
