"I'm in favor!"
Everyone looked at Flint in surprise.
No one had expected the first person to support Nie Yun to be the one who seemed least likely to back this proposal!
In terms of individual Pirate Crews, Black Sail was unquestionably the strongest. If, as Nie Yun suggested, each crew contributed a proportion of its elite forces to serve directly under the Pirate King, Black Sail would undoubtedly be affected the most.
