Believing Me to Be a Marine Admiral is Better Than Believing Him to Be Mongge!

Not a fake, but the real deal!

After feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Mongge, an aura like that of a ferocious beast, Iron Hand Jod no longer doubted Mongge's identity.

This was because Jod had never felt such a terrifying aura even from his captain, Undead Jason.

There were differences between pirates.

There were also hierarchies among Great Pirates.

At this moment, Jod understood this saying more deeply.

"W-White Wolf Mongge!?"

"Yes, it's me."

Mongge looked calmly at Jod. Although they were similar in height, in Jod's perception, Mongge's gaze was like looking at an ant.

"Do you want to die or live?"

Hearing Mongge's voice, Jod's throat felt dry and sore. The sliver of hope he had vanished completely. He could only say in a low voice, "Want, want to live."

"Good. Take your arm and have your captain come see me."

Jod didn't see Mongge make any move. He only felt a gust of wind blow past, and then he saw the pirates still standing around looking at him with terrified eyes.

My arm?

It was only then that Jod suddenly realized his arm had lost all sensation.

He turned his head and saw only an empty shoulder.

His arm, which he was so proud of, had been severed!

"Ah------"

Seeing a pirate with a bounty of fifty million Belly have his arm cut off in a single exchange, the surrounding pirates looked at Mongge with extreme fear.

What terrified them even more was that Mongge's single strike not only severed Jod's arm but also split two streets of the entire town in half.

A massive chasm stretched across half the port town.

"Right, not just your captain. Have the other two factions come over too. There are too many flags flying over this town."

Looking at Jod, who was clutching his severed arm and kneeling on the ground, gritting his teeth and gasping for air, Mongge continued.

This island was conquered by Mongge with great effort over a decade ago. After years of neglect, others had taken over.

If Mongge had retired, it would be one thing.

But now that he was preparing to make a comeback, he naturally had to reclaim his former territory piece by piece!

Mongge hadn't intended to bother these local powers so soon, but since they had come to him, he couldn't be blamed.

Mongge: "Let's go back."

Lipri asked, "Aren't we going to the underground black market?"

Mongge: "Among the three pirate crews occupying this town, there's bound to be one running the underground black market. We can just tell them then."

Although Mongge had spent half a year in Elbaf, that time was not enough to cause significant changes in this sea.

For example, Mongge recognized the flags currently hanging in the town.

Undead Jason.

Black-hearted merchant Dukemon.

Monster Moz.

Their bounties were 120 million, 115 million, and 138 million respectively.

Of course, that was a year ago.

Now that a year had passed, Mongge didn't know if the bounties of the other two had changed, besides Jason.

Great Pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million Belly were well-known figures throughout the New World. A year ago, Mongge might not have been able to easily defeat even one of them in a one-on-one fight.

But things were different now.

"Perfect, it seems like Rocks' situation is also almost resolved."

Mongge's gaze turned towards the Black Pearl.

A little earlier.

While Mongge and Lipri were entangled with those pirate thugs, Rocks and Newgate were in a bitter struggle.

"Hey, hey, are you guys just going to keep hiding?"

With a casual shot that punched a large hole in the deck of the Black Pearl, several pirates from the Heart Pirates moved across the deck like cats playing with mice.

"Heh heh, our goal is only the things on this ship. As for your lives, we don't really care."

Bennet, the captain of the Heart Pirates, said as he signaled the ship to move closer. If time ran out, he wouldn't mind dragging the entire ship away.

"Tch, a decrepit ship like this, only old men would captain it."

Thinking of Mongge and Lipri who had left earlier, Bennet felt a pang of regret.

If he had known there were only three people on this ship, he would have just boarded it himself. Why would he need to send a bunch of kids to test the waters before swooping in to reap the benefits?

As for the flag hanging on the pirate ship?

He'd sooner believe the old man was a new Marine Admiral than White Wolf Mongge!

"I hope you don't disappoint me too much."

Inside the ship's cabin.

Seeing the pirates approaching the cabin, Rocks' expression darkened slightly.

If it were just the captain, he would have already taken them down.

But besides the pirate with the gun, there were a few other enemies with decent strength. If he couldn't take them down in one go, he'd definitely be surrounded.

Pirates wouldn't play fair with him.

"Hey, brat, can you still move?"

Rocks patted Newgate, who was twice his size and currently curled up in a ball clutching himself, beside him.

"Yeah."

Newgate nodded sullenly, then looked worriedly towards the deck. His companions were still lying there after being defeated.

"You help me attract their attention later, and I'll take care of those guys!"

Those pirates saw them as mere children and didn't take them seriously.

And this was precisely their chance.

"Why should I help you?"

Hearing Newgate, Rocks grinned.

"Because I just saved you, and now your life belongs to me!"

Even though he was just a kid, Rocks had sensed Newgate's potential during their brief interaction. He'd be more than enough as a human shield.

"Follow me!"

Rocks roared and charged headfirst towards the Heart Pirates.

Meanwhile, the Heart Pirates were already blinded by the piles of gold and silver treasures filling the cabin.

Although Lipri had shrunk these treasures with her ability, their sheer quantity was overwhelming. Even shrunk dozens of times over, they still filled a corner of the cabin.

"Boss, we're rich!"

A pirate exclaimed excitedly, clutching a piece of jewelry in his hand.

He didn't know why the jewelry was as small as a mosquito's leg, but the sheer number of these mosquito-leg-sized treasures was staggering!

This was even before they saw the luxury goods piled up on the other side. They were all high-end items only Celestial Dragons could afford. If even a fraction of them leaked out, ordinary nobles in this world would go crazy fighting over them.

However, even if they saw them, with their limited knowledge, they probably wouldn't understand the use of these rice-grain-sized luxury items.

At this moment, Rocks had silently appeared behind a Heart Pirate.

He drew his waist knife from behind him.

Shing.

A pirate fell to the ground.
