Just after Garen and the others sat down together, they heard people nearby talking.
"You're not mistaken, are you? How could that be possible?"
"Of course I'm not mistaken. It's absolutely true. Along the sea route from Blue Maple City on the Bauhinia Continent to Miluo Island, every major pirate group has been wiped out. Those groups have all been broken up and scattered!"
