Even the most simple-minded pirate knew that the crew left on the ship had likely been annihilated.
The Pirate Captain picked up the Sailor’s Long Saber in his hand and waved it. The pirates behind him immediately dispersed into smaller groups.
Two of these groups began to stealthily approach the ship from both sides under the cover of darkness.
Soon, distant moving lights flickered.
The remaining pirates immediately followed.
"Captain, Fake Eye is dead. All the other mates were taken out, possibly by Alka."
This pirate spoke while pointing to a nearby pirate tied to the mast, a massive gash in his throat continuously gushing blood.
Next to him, an already cold pirate companion was tied up as well.
This scene clearly indicated that someone had been interrogating these two pirates for information.
As for whether Alka had obtained the information, they leaned more towards yes. They didn’t expect these pirates to possess any noble qualities like self-sacrifice for righteousness.
Dying rather than submitting was even less likely for them.
They had definitely spilled everything they knew in an attempt to survive.
Seeing this, the Pirate Captain waved his hand. "Let’s move the ship offshore, throw these bodies into the sea, and clean up the deck."
"We’ll look for where he’s hiding. Even if he ran, he shouldn’t have gone far."
His first priority was to move the ship to safety; if it was damaged in the battle, the loss would be too great.
With the orders given, the crew on board sprang into action.
After all the pirates boarded, they watched as their Pirate Ship sailed out of the harbor.
In the distance, Alka’s face lit up with a bright smile, and he immediately snapped his fingers.
The enemy indeed acted to protect the ship.
Suddenly, on the dark sea, flames shot skyward.
Several immense pillars of fire erupted, instantly engulfing the entire ship.
The flames spread with incredible speed, setting the vessel ablaze in an instant. Something in the stern of the ship then triggered an explosion.
The piercing sound shattered the silence of the night.
With the vessel burning, the Pirate Ship was clearly out of commission.
For ordinary wooden ships, fire was the greatest enemy.
Several small boats from the Pirate Ship were lowered into the sea; some pirates boarded these small boats, while others jumped directly into the water.
"Aargh! There’s something in the water!"
"My leg! Something cut off my leg!"
"Run! There’s a Sea Monster in the water! We’re finished!"
"Help! Save me... GLUG GLUG GLUG..."
The pirates who fell into the water instantly realized something beneath the surface was attacking them.
The CRACKLING of burning planks, the sounds of explosions, and the screams rose and fell in waves.
This made the surroundings extraordinarily noisy and chaotic, but it finally brought some macabre liveliness to the silent, dark waters.
Alka and Chadite emerged from their hiding place by the harbor, observing the scene unfolding on the distant sea.
As for aiding Pororo, there was no need to worry. All the pirates had fallen into the water in such a dark area.
Even if there were one or two Two Spirals experts among them, trying to battle Pororo under these conditions would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
As a Merman and a Warrior of the Great Ocean, the sea was his domain.
In the distance, one could see various water-formed blades and whirlpools churning in the sea.
These creations acted like relentless meat grinders, tearing the pirates to pieces.
All the pirates were like lambs to the slaughter. Only their screams echoed across the water.
After a while, all the screams vanished.
Only the ship still burned on the surface, not yet fully sunk to the depths.
This was the final requiem for these hundred-odd scoundrels.
Pororo emerged before them, climbing out of the water.
Alka looked at him and asked, "How are you? Any injuries?"
"Those little pests could never hurt me."
Hearing Pororo’s response, Alka couldn’t help but smile. He then turned to head towards the Island.
"Come on, follow me."
He led the two towards another part of the coast, where a blue dot was indicated.
Upon observation, it seems to be on the sea cliff. Whether it’s hidden in a cave or some other place remains unknown.
When Alka arrived at the location of the blue dot, he surveyed the surroundings.
This damned place doesn’t even have any vegetation, only steep, jagged rocks. Peering down, he saw that below was the sea surface, along with exposed reefs.
Given the situation, there must be a cave or some similar place beneath our feet.
He turned to look at Chadite beside him and nodded.
Chadite understood. Silver ripples radiated from her legs, penetrating the rock below.
In just a couple of seconds, she said, "About four meters below our feet, there’s a cave. It’s not very large."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lucilia emerged from the Magic Mirror hanging around Alka’s neck.
She sank directly into the rocks below, resurfacing a short while later.
"The entrance to this cave is on the cliff face. There’s an opening there."
With these words, she glanced down again and turned to point it out to Alka and Chadite.
