Chapter 562

"What's wrong? What happened again?" Chen Fan asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Mr. Chen Fan! The Krieg Pirates have surrounded us! They have 50 pirate ships and over 5,000 pirates on board! What do we do?!" Captain Toru exclaimed, now somewhat panicked. After all, the enemy's numbers were simply too great. Chen Fan alone couldn't handle so many people. The Krieg Pirates were a group of ruthless thugs; they were doomed this time.

Everyone on deck watched in terror as the ship gradually surrounded them. "We're doomed! 850! This time we're doomed! It's the Krieg Pirates' Fearless Battleship Saber! Their captain is here too! Why is the Krieg Pirates here? This isn't their territory!" The people on deck shouted, peering through binoculars at the distant pirate ship.

After listening to Captain Tom's words, Chen Fan went to the deck, put his hand to his eyebrows to shield his eyes from the sunlight, and looked out.

"Wow... what a grand display." Chen Fan remarked. More than fifty ships Chen Fan surrounded his vessel, creating an imposing and intimidating sight.

Faced with such a large-scale battle, Chen Fan's mind was elsewhere. It seemed he always encountered massive battles, and they were all aimed at him. Was it really necessary? He had done nothing wrong, yet he was forced to commit acts of killing as a kind and pure person. Although these pirates' lives were worthless, they were far too irresponsible towards their own lives.

The ships quickly approached, but did not open fire immediately. Otherwise, if so many ships fired at once, even with good aim, they could sink the ship in a single salvo.

"What should we do, Mr. Chen Fan? Those pirates won't show any mercy this time; they'll definitely kill us!" Captain Tom exclaimed.

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "What else can we do? Of course, we fight them, or else we just wait to die?"

"But they're pirates, how can we possibly defeat them!" a male passenger said, his body trembling.

"Are you even a man? Someone's about to kill you and you're not even fighting back? You shouldn't be short of weapons, right? It seems like a lot of pirates' weapons were confiscated yesterday," Chen Fan said.

"Yes, Mr. Chen Fan. The weapons confiscated yesterday are enough for all the passengers." A crew member said, and ordered someone to bring out a box of swords and knives, which was then thrown onto the deck.

Everyone was so startled that they took a small step back.

"Why retreat? Pick up your weapons and fight! Didn't you say you wouldn't let anyone go? They're all vicious pirates; they'd rather die than let anyone else slip away, right?" Chen Fan said.

But no one had the courage to reach for the knife. It was the woman from yesterday who stepped out of the crowd, picked up two knives, and looked up at Chen Fan, saying, "My boyfriend needs one too. I'll get it for him."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded. He wanted to see what these people would choose—whether they would simply die without doing anything, or fight to the end. It was just Chen Fan's quirky sense of humor; he didn't want to see a group of people who constantly accepted help from others but never thought of striving to do anything themselves. Such people seemed quite annoying.

"What about you? Aren't you going to fight?" Chen Fan asked, looking at the others.

The others exchanged glances, then looked at the approaching pirates. "Ahhh...!" one of them suddenly shouted, then yelled to the others, "Pick up your weapons! We're all going to die anyway. Killing one is even, killing two is a bonus! We can't let those pirates slaughter us at will. We have to show them we're not to be trifled with!"

The others were slightly taken aback, then their faces turned angry, and they shouted as they picked up their weapons, preparing to fight the pirates who were about to board the ship;

Seeing that these people had actually mustered up the courage, Chen Fan was somewhat surprised, but also felt much more at ease. Seeing that the pirates were getting closer, Chen Fan decided not to continue.

He smiled and said, "Hehe...! Alright, stop putting on that death-defying expression. I wasn't planning on you fighting anyway."

"Mr. Chen Fan, what do you mean by that?" Captain Tom blinked and asked Chen Fan.

"It means exactly what it says. Leave these guys to me. I want to see if you guys have the courage to fight when your lives are in danger. After all, I really hate those guys who just hide in the background and don't intend to do anything. As long as you have the will, that's enough," Chen Fan said with a smile.

"But what are we going to do with so many pirates?"

Do you have a loudspeaker?

"Yes!" he said, quickly handing a megaphone to Chen Fan. "Buzz..." A piercing sound rang out, and everyone on the ship instinctively covered their ears.

"Um... the Koby Pirates, right?" Chen Fan's voice rang out over the sea through the loudspeaker;

"It's the Krieg Pirates!"

"Oh...! It's the Krieg Pirates, right? Drop your weapons, put your hands behind your heads, squat down, and hand over all your valuables and treasures. You've been robbed!"

"I'll repeat myself! Drop your weapons, put your hands behind your head, squat down, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely, cherish your life, stay away from your companions, don't put up futile resistance, and hand over all your treasure..."
