Everyone rushed aboard, and Captain Thomas shouted, "Branetus II, set sail!"
Before long, the Branetus II sailed out of the harbor.
However, as luck would have it, Captain Thomas suddenly spotted an entirely black ship in the distance!
"The Black Dragon? What is Pirate King Ramon trying to do?"
A row of massive cannon blasts exploded alongside the Branetus II! The towering waves threw the Branetus II about, nearly capsizing it. After a desperate struggle, Captain Thomas and Luca barely managed to steady the Branetus II.
By the time they had stabilized the Branetus II, the Black Dragon had already pulled alongside them. The two ships crashed heavily into each other, and Pirate King Ramon shouted, "Branetus II! I, Pirate King Ramon, have come to settle old scores!"
Captain Thomas looked over at the Black Dragon and saw not only Pirate King Ramon, but also the wealthy merchant Li Xu. Since his schemes had been exposed in the previous incident, Li Xu's reputation had plummeted worldwide, and he had soon gone bankrupt. Left with no other choice, he had joined forces with Pirate King Ramon to plot revenge against the Branetus II!
But what time was this? Was this really the time for them to leisurely pursue revenge?!
Captain Thomas leaped alone and landed on the Black Dragon in a single bound!
He shouted at Pirate King Ramon and the wealthy merchant Li Xu, "Revenge, revenge—is that all you know? Look at that Dark Sun above us! In a week at most, it'll blow this world apart, and the entire world will be gone! What revenge are you seeking? What ship are you attacking?! We're trying to solve that problem right now! If we're delayed, you'll lose your lives too!"
Pirate King Ramon said in shock, "What? We'll all die?"
