For Alucard, pirate ships meant nothing. He simply boarded one of the Evil Gang Pirates’ vessels and departed directly.
The Evil Gang Pirates, originally over four hundred strong, had lost more than two hundred members during Alucard and Pizarro’s battle due to collateral damage.
Everyone watched Alucard leave. After a long moment, someone suddenly snapped back to reality and shouted, "Captain! Quick, treat the Captain!"
The ship’s doctor rushed to Pizarro’s side and began examining his injuries. When he tore open Pizarro’s tattered coat and saw the wounds beneath, even the experienced Evil Gang Pirates’ doctor, accustomed to severe injuries, couldn’t help but gasp. It’s too exaggerated. He’s still not dead with wounds like these.
"Get all the medicine from the ship! We can’t move the Captain now; I’ll operate right here!" the doctor yelled, giving orders.
As for his own injuries, Pizarro paid them no mind. His eyes were fixed on the distant ship Alucard was sailing away on.
’I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!’
Pizarro repeatedly muttered those words in his heart.
Alucard had inflicted something more painful than death upon him: pity? Treating him like a toy? Such an act, such an insult, even if it was just to inflict one more cut on that bastard, he had to do it! He absolutely had to kill him! Kill that man named Alucard!
Due to the severity of his injuries, even merely moving him onto the ship could be fatal for Pizarro, so the ship’s doctor immediately performed emergency treatment on the spot.
Several hours later, all the bullets had been removed, and Pizarro was bandaged like a mummy.
"Alright, quickly get Captain Pizarro back to the ship."
"Hey! That’s... that’s a Marine warship!"
Just as the doctor was having Pizarro moved back to the ship, a crewmate suddenly shrieked. Everyone looked out to sea beyond the harbor and indeed saw a massive Marine warship approaching. The sheer size of the warship left no doubt: it was a Marine Headquarters warship!
"What’s there to be scared of? It’s not like we haven’t dealt with Headquarters Marines before!" Pizarro’s first mate roared, drawing his weapon. "Consider this an extra boost to my bounty! Lads! After we kill the Marines, we’ll have a grand celebration!"
While pirates generally avoided fighting the Marines, as a large pirate crew, the Evil Gang Pirates had undoubtedly engaged in battles with them before. They had fought Marine Captains from Headquarters at least five times, so they felt no fear.
Upon hearing their first mate’s words, many regained their morale, raising their weapons and shouting enthusiastically. However, a golden flash suddenly shot out from the distant Marine warship, instantly sending many pirates standing on the dock crashing into the sea.
"Oh dear~ Did I~ overdo it~"
The golden light gradually coalesced into a human figure. Borsalino grinned, speaking like a monkey, "Excuse me, can anyone tell me where Rear Admiral Clyde is?"
Rear Admiral Clyde was the highest-ranking commander of the Marine branch responsible for guarding the city of Miares. Of course, he had already been killed by Pizarro during the occupation of the city.
Borsalino narrowed his eyes, looking around. Under the wary gazes of the other pirates, he calmly stated, "Since it’s all pirates here... I suppose it’s alright to kill them all, yes?"
Borsalino was quite pleased.
When he learned that the prime suspect for this incident was Corrupt King Avalo Pizarro, he anticipated a tough fight.
However, fate had other plans.
By the time he arrived, Pizarro had already been turned into a mummy, completely unable to fight.
He had, in essence, inherited a ready-made victory.
His subsequent investigation confirmed that the Corrupt King had indeed taken control of the city. The Marines within the Miares Marine branch base were a mix: some imprisoned, some mind-controlled, and some dead, including the Rear Admiral.
Borsalino was deeply curious about who had beaten the Corrupt King into such a state and joined the interrogation.
"I’m going to kill him! Kill that Alucard guy!" The moment Borsalino entered the interrogation room, he heard Pizarro’s furious roar.
The two interrogators, seeing Borsalino enter, immediately stood up and saluted him. They then said, "Vice Admiral Borsalino, we apologize, he’s been saying nothing but that."
"That bastard! That bastard Alucard! I’ll definitely kill him! Kill him!" At this, Pizarro, tied to a chair and wrapped like a mummy, shouted the same words again.
Borsalino heard this and stroked his chin, which, despite him being only in his thirties, already showed a hint of wrinkles. "Hmm~~ Alucard~~"
Borsalino drew out the name, thinking for a moment, then suddenly remembered.
’Recently, Kuzan and Zephyr-sensei seemed to be mentioning that name quite often... Who was it again?’
After thinking for a long time, he couldn’t recall. He decided it would be better to use a Den Den Mushi and ask.
"I’m going to kill Alucard!"
Hearing Pizarro yell again, Borsalino couldn’t take it anymore. He quickly pushed himself out of the interrogation room, pulled out his Den Den Mushi, and prepared to report the information.
