Everyone, Come Help??? (Edited)

Oh~!

Oh-oh~!!

"..."

Outside the open, carved wooden window, in Bilgewater's pitch-black, moonless night sky, seabirds shrieked sharply and frantically. Their cries made Miss Fortune—Sarah—look up in surprise as she sat calmly in her secret safehouse in White Wharf, her face cold, reviewing some lists and documents.

Why were so many seabirds squawking at this hour of the night?

The strange sight naturally aroused her curiosity a little... but she didn't dwell on it. She knew it was probably some half-witted fool raiding nests for eggs to sell in the middle of the night. What a bunch of irritating nuisances!!

Sarah was in White Wharf at the moment...

This harbor, where some merchant ships normally docked and cargo was loaded and unloaded, had always been a prize coveted by the gangs of the various docks. It had once been the traditional territory of Bilgewater's pirate king, Gangplank, and the dock gangs under his command. Nobody had dared to stick their nose in!

But now, the dock gangs that had once occupied the area had either been killed or scattered in the battle to ambush Gangplank, or driven out by force! Since then, no one had dared meddle in the harbor again, leaving it as Miss Fortune's new territory.

After all,

only the victor had the right to enjoy the sweetest fruits of victory, and right now, she, Sarah, was clearly the greatest victor of them all!!

At least for now?

Once she'd calmed down, she decided to ignore the racket coming from outside.

"Hmph!!"

Sarah first looked around both sides of the study at the gang leaders standing there, visibly trembling with nerves. After watching them for a long while, she gave a cold snort, making them even more tense. Then she lowered her head and began examining the lists
