Victory

The junior officer Butcher had hacked down was certainly someone important, even if he wasn't the captain of this warship.

After seeing him cut in two, the sailors howled, and their resistance crumbled like an avalanche. Like shifting sands, they retreated into the ship's cabins.

"Boss!"

Butcher dropped to one knee to greet Fang Yuan as he approached.

"Mm, you did well!"

Looking at the chaos across the deck, Fang Yuan took a deep breath.

The warship was a typical large five-masted vessel, its towering masts connected by countless ropes that formed a vast web like a spider's.

The hull was over fifty meters long and more than six meters wide, considerably larger than the original Mockingbird.

Now the deck was awash with blood. At least a hundred sailors lay sprawled across it, most of them disemboweled by ice blades, along with more than a dozen pirates.

Bang! Bang!

A series of gunshots rang out from inside the cabins. Bill came running out, looking thoroughly bedraggled, with a wound on his head. "Those bastards are still putting up a desperate fight down there. They've got serious firepower!"

Clearly, when ordinary pirates faced such a situation, they could only throw lives at
