At the same time, countless pirate ships, merchant vessels, and massive royal warships sailed in one after another, lining up in an orderly fashion to dock at the harbor.
Ronglin was greatly surprised. "By rights, pirates should be unreasonable, shouldn't they? Why are pirate ships being so orderly alongside other vessels? They're actually getting along without incident?"
