"Captain Luo, how confident are you about this matter?"

On the ship, a hideous man with tentacles growing from his body, looking neither human nor ghost, turned his gaze to the neighboring warlord's vessel. A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

"Confidence?"

The man referred to as Captain Luo glanced at the ugly pirate, unable to suppress a sense of disgust inside.

The ocean warlords might be an illicit regime, more chaotic than a normal one, but they at least had some bottom lines.

But these pirates, they had no bottom line whatsoever.

Some even undergo alchemical modifications, turning themselves into these monstrous forms for personal gain.

Any soldier couldn't help but despise these undisciplined and morally bankrupt folks.

But the current intensity of the battle forced the ocean warlords to try all possible means to achieve their goals.

Captain Luo sighed softly with a sense of bewilderment about the future in his eyes.

Initially, the entire situation was clear, only needing to concentrate military strength in the West Qinghai Sea Region to drive out the Duorong Federation's regime.

Then utilize the Alien Race's political status to establish a new Sea Country, thus gaining recognition from the Ocean Court.

But...

Somehow, the arms factory situation leaked out, forcing the warlords to extend their battle lines to the incredibly distant Southern Island Sea Region.

With their forces divided and attention split, the ocean warlords found themselves in a highly awkward position.

Now... they had no choice but to seek assistance from the "Pirate Alliance," which they had previously dismissed.

Only by forming alliances could they quickly resolve the current conflict.

With this in mind, Captain Luo forced a stiff smile at the hideous pirate leader and said, "The key to this matter actually lies mainly with you all."

"If you can dispatch your ships to come to our aid and help us capture another archipelago and 10 large Sea Ore Islands, that will be fully sufficient for our front-line equipment supply."

"Front-line? Equipment?"

Upon hearing Captain Luo's words, a hint of puzzlement flashed in the pirate leader's eyes, but he quickly shook his head and said:

"Captain Luo, I don't understand what you're saying. Just tell us, after we deploy according to the agreement, how long before you fulfill the conditions in the contract?"

Captain Luo refrained from cursing the "ignorant, vulgar pirate" in his mind, but outwardly he put on a thoughtful look, prepared to make up a time to appease the pirate leader for the moment.

Once the Sea Ore Islands were captured, who would bother negotiating further with you?

But just then, Captain Luo suddenly noticed the pirate leader's eyes shift from round pupils to vertical slits.

Much like a feline predator's, bizarre and unsettling.

Vertical pupils usually signify the prelude to a beast preparing to hunt its prey. Though Captain Luo looked down on the pirate leader, the sight made him uneasy.

"What's going on, Mr. Zhang?!"

Captain Luo instinctively blurted out.

At that moment, the pirate leader's eyes flashed with a crazed, menacing look as he whispered, "Damn, someone's approaching us. I sense danger!"

"Someone's approaching us?"

Captain Luo's eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you certain? The route we're on has nothing to do with the main battleground of the Sea Mine Battle. How could anyone be closing in on us?"

"Or... perhaps they're just passing by?"

Captain Luo frowned.

The pirate leader fixed a cold gaze on Captain Luo, vertical pupils filled with intense danger.

He extended his tongue, forked like a serpent's, making it spine-chilling.

Then he licked his lips slightly, much like a venomous snake eyeing its prey, making it extremely uncomfortable.

"They're not just passing through; they're coming right at us. I can sense the hostility..."

The pirate leader stood in the dark shadows, his tentacles began to sway, exuding a heart-palpitating energy level wave.

Captain Luo, beside him, was suddenly startled and then spoke in a low voice, "The information must've been leaked. They're leading a force to intercept us."

"Let's go! We need to escape quickly, there's an army up ahead waiting for us. Let's not get caught off guard."

Captain Luo loudly addressed the pirate leader in front of him.

"Escape?"

The pirate leader grinned, revealing sharp, sinister teeth, then excitedly said, "A prey has come to us; we should be happy, not flee."

"Damn it!"

Hearing this, Captain Luo was taken aback and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This is exactly why he loathed pirates and disliked dealing with them.

This bunch completely lacks cooperation and order, always being an unstable presence.

They might do something reckless at any moment.

Like now!

The enemy clearly intended to attack, obviously well-prepared.

Yet these madmen aren't worried, instead viewing the enemy as prey, wanting to launch a counter-attack.
