Edward Newgate was an orphan.

From the time he could remember, he had lived in an orphanage called the "Home of Lambs," which was said to be a nurturing institution established by a pirate named White Wolf Moger after he took over the entire Sphinx.

Sphinx was extremely poor.

Long before White Wolf Moger arrived, the entire country was already on the verge of collapse.

White Wolf Moger's arrival stabilized the order in Sphinx, killed the rioting pirates, and allowed Sphinx to sit at the negotiating table with the pirates.

Since then, Sphinx has assisted pirates in fencing stolen goods, reselling the plundered merchandise to various parts of the world.

And the pirates could not cause trouble in Sphinx.

Although Sphinx was still at a disadvantage when facing pirates, the common people living in this country remained poor.

But a gray order was better than chaotic disorder.

Therefore, children born in Sphinx all admired White Wolf Moger and the White Wolf Pirates. Many children dreamed of joining the White Wolf Pirates when they grew up, or becoming a Great Pirate like White Wolf Moger.

Edward Newgate was no exception.

However, as time passed, White Wolf Moger had not set foot in this country for over a decade. Gradually, news spread that White Wolf Moger was old and considering retirement.

Suddenly, some Great Pirates who were confident in their strength began to probe. After discovering that the White Wolf Pirates did not react, they began to seize the assets Moger had left behind.

The order of the entire Sphinx showed signs of collapse once again.

It was at this time that three Great Pirates, led by the Black Merchant Duke Men, stepped forward. Driven by the wealth generated from pirates fencing stolen goods, they occupied the entire Sphinx six months ago.

At first, it was done stealthily.

But with the combined forces of the three Great Pirates, a group of pirates became more brazen, confident that even if White Wolf Moger returned, they could handle him.

The Home of Lambs on Sphinx Island also went bankrupt during this period. All the orphans from the Home of Lambs lost their shelter and could only become thugs and thieves, struggling for survival.

Despite this, some still believed that White Wolf Moger would return.

Until half a year ago.

A group of swindlers disguised themselves as the White Wolf Pirates and, after swindling a huge sum of two hundred million Belly from the three Great Pirates, including the Black Merchant Duke Men, they fled.

It wasn't until half a month after the swindlers left that the Great Pirates led by the Black Merchant Duke Men received news that the White Wolf Pirates might have disbanded, realizing they had been tricked.

Suddenly, the three Great Pirates were furious.

They had only paid the money obediently because they didn't want to get into a bloody fight with the White Wolf Pirates and be taken advantage of by other pirate crews; it didn't mean they were truly afraid of the White Wolf Pirates.

But since they couldn't find the swindlers, they could only swallow their pride even after suffering a loss. Such a humiliating matter could not be publicized and had to be concealed as much as possible.

As a result, several other groups of swindlers emerged, using the name of the White Wolf Pirates for profit. However, all these swindlers were captured by the three Great Pirates.

The reason Iron Hand Jod, under the Undead Pirates, approached Mongge today was because he mistook him for another group of swindlers using the White Wolf Pirates' name.

Who would have thought he would hit a brick wall?

This time, it wasn't a fake, but the real White Wolf Moger!

"Captain, you must seek justice for me!"

Iron Hand Jod clutched his severed hand, tears and snot streaming down his face as he looked at his captain.

A large part of his strength was in his hands. Now that Moger had cut one off, his strength was greatly reduced, and it was uncertain if he could even keep his current position.

"Damn it, are you sure you saw correctly? Was that really White Wolf Moger?"

Undead Jason, whose body was wrapped in bandages, looked annoyed.

When he first received the news, he thought it was another imposter. But Jod's hand was cut off, and many pirates had personally witnessed "White Wolf Moger" cleave half a port town in half with a single sword strike.

This kind of strength could not be faked.

Fifteen years later, White Wolf Moger had truly returned, and upon his return, he had severely injured his left and right arms, giving him a warning.

"Old man, you're already so old, why can't you just die peacefully?"

Undead Jason looked unwilling.

The profits from Sphinx were terrifying. At least hundreds of pirate crews passed through here every year, and the amount from fencing stolen goods alone exceeded one billion Belly.

Moreover, with years of development, the entertainment venues on Sphinx Island had gradually become more sophisticated. It was no longer just a place for fencing stolen goods but also a money pit where they earned from pirates.

His share of the annual profits alone was over a hundred million Belly.

In such a situation, letting Undead Jason give up the money he had in hand was worse than killing him.

Any pirate force that became a Great Pirate would not be satisfied with ordinary plundering, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and carried the risk of being pursued by the Marines.

They would more often choose to leverage their reputation, develop their underground forces, and operate various gray industries.

Undead Jason had invested too much in Sphinx. If he were to hand over Sphinx now, how could he continue to make a living on the seas?

Therefore, Undead Jason planned to contact the other two Great Pirates on Sphinx Island.

He didn't believe they would be willing to give up the profits they held.

As expected.

Before Undead Jason could contact them, two other Great Pirates came knocking.

Black Merchant Duke Men.

Monster Moz.

The Black Merchant was a middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache, dressed in a black tailcoat, while Monster Moz was, as his nickname suggested, a hulking brute over seven meters tall.

It was rumored that Monster Moz had the blood of the Giant Tribe flowing through him.

"We can't just hand over Sphinx Island like this," Black Merchant Duke Men said, cutting straight to the chase as soon as he arrived.

"We spent years building Sphinx Island to what it is today. White Wolf Moger shows up and wants to take it back? That's not how things work."

His words deliberately ignored the fact that Sphinx Island's development was originally part of Mongge's plan. If not for their rampant interference, Sphinx Island's development might have been even better.

"Moz agrees," Monster Moz rumbled, his voice deep and muffled.

"Money? We have none!"

"Lives? We have only one to lose!"

Seeing that the other two Great Pirates, whose Bounties were higher than his own, were unwilling to give up Sphinx Island, Undead Jason's face lit up with joy.

"As far as I know, White Wolf Moger isn't here with his entire crew. Only Captain Mongge has arrived; the remaining two crew members aren't very strong."

If the entire White Wolf Pirates crew had shown up, Undead Jason would have genuinely had to consider whether fighting them was worth it.

But with only White Wolf Moger, it was a different story.

"We are all Great Pirates with Bounties exceeding one hundred million. We have tens of thousands of pirates under our command. Even if he is White Wolf Moger, he can't possibly kill all of us!"

Undead Jason declared with great spirit.
