Spirit Flame Lotus Island.
Eighth Deep Dive Pier.
The so-called "deep dive pier" was not an ordinary dock as most people imagined.
It was a special pier built beneath Lotus Island, exclusively for deep divers such as Sea Hawks and Ospreys.

They were Sea Hawks and War Hawks.
More than half of the deep divers clearly bore surface damage, and the Stabilizer Wings of over a dozen had even snapped off.

Shouts echoed through the cavern.
The pier immediately sprang into action.
One deep diver after another successfully completed the docking procedure.
The Warriors who had participated in the underwater patrol also stepped onto the pier safely.
Quite a few of them were
