Liu Zhi still hadn't figured out what was going on when the sailors on the ship sprang into action.
The Ghost Ships had appeared on either side of the Death Star Ship, where there were no cannons. The sailors had no way to turn the ship around in time, so they all rushed out of the cabins and onto the deck, ready to fight the Ghost Ships head-on.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Zhi made his way to the upper deck. He noticed that the Old Captain had already arrived with his men.
The man following the Old Captain wasn't an adviser, but a sturdy-looking naval officer.
He was the ship's Chief Sailor, and also the leader of the boarding party.
