Elsewhere, while Burufatt swiftly brought his battle to an end, an unexpected situation arose on Oshi's side.
"Strange... Why hasn't the other side fired yet?"
Standing at the bow, Oshi was somewhat puzzled. When they had turned the helm to adjust their direction earlier, it had clearly been such a perfect opportunity to attack, yet the other side had not fired a single shot.
Now they had already corrected their position, and their broadside cannons were aimed and ready, but the enemy still had not fired. They were merely closing in on them.
"Hmm... Could their cannons be broken?"
Oshi scratched her head and asked the pirates beside her, "What do you think?"
"Don't worry about it, Big Sis Oshi. Let's just fire!"
"Yeah! It's such a good opportunity—we should just blast those bastards to the bottom!"

In any case, they could not let themselves be dragged into the enemy's rhythm.
"Mm, you're right! Pass on my order, gunners prepare..."
"Wait! Do not fire yet."
Just as Oshi was about to give the order to fire, a middle-aged pirate suddenly spoke up to stop her.
"Huh? Big Brother Porter, did you notice something?" The surrounding pirates all asked curiously when they heard him speak.

Whenever everyone encountered anything strange at sea, they would ask him about it. He also possessed a fair amount of prestige within the Pirate Crew.
"Mm, everyone, stay calm. If I'm not mistaken, they're inviting us to a Duelist Challenge!" Porter said, stroking his stubble-covered chin.
"A Duelist Challenge?" *n
"That's right.
