Of the people pursuing the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, there had been a total of 3,568. Only twelve had refused, at the last moment, to follow that young Saint's incitement and attack Gu Ding's group.
Thus, those twelve became the only twelve still wearing clothes.
As for everyone else, even their underwear had been stripped away.
When Theo, a Saint Lord Level powerhouse, woke up, he felt a chill across his body. Looking down, he found himself completely naked.
He froze for a moment, but seemed to recall something. He then looked around, only to see a sea of pale naked flesh.
"This..." Theo immediately understood what had happened.
"Hey, you're awake?"
At that moment, a figure appeared before Theo.
The instant he saw that figure, fear surfaced in Theo's eyes. The excruciating pain that had made death feel impossible had already been deeply branded into his memory. It likely would not fade for several eras, perhaps even hundreds of eras.
"You passed out during the fight. Under normal circumstances, that means you lost your ability to fight, so naturally, I won this battle. You don't have any objections to that, do you?" Gu Ding squatted down and looked at Theo, who was still half-reclining in the void.
Seeing Gu Ding's gaze, Theo unconsciously covered his chest and shook his head.
"Very good. There's one more thing I need you to do." Gu Ding nodded in satisfaction, though he also cast a puzzled glance at the spot Theo was covering. Why was he covering his chest? Shouldn't a man cover down there?
"What... what is it?" Theo asked, confused.
"You should have seen it too. Other than those twelve who didn't participate in the attack just now, every one of your companions, including you, has received the punishment they deserved."
