Even if he's White Wolf Magnus, he can't kill us all!

Edward Newgate was an orphan.

From his earliest memories, he had lived in an orphanage called the Orphanage of Lambs, which was said to have been established by a pirate known as White Wolf Magnus after he took control of the entire Sphinx.

Sphinx was extremely poor.

Long before White Wolf Magnus arrived, the entire country was on the brink of collapse.

White Wolf Magnus's arrival stabilized the order in Sphinx, killed the pirates who were causing trouble, and allowed Sphinx to sit at the negotiating table with the pirates.

From then on, Sphinx assisted the pirates in fencing stolen goods, reselling the plundered merchandise to various parts of the world.

And the pirates were not allowed to cause trouble in Sphinx.

Although Sphinx was still at a disadvantage when facing pirates, and the common people living in the country remained poor.

Still, a gray order was better than chaotic lawlessness.

Therefore, children born in Sphinx all admired White Wolf Magnus and the White Wolf Pirates. Many children dreamed of joining the White Wolf Pirates when they grew up, or becoming great pirates like White Wolf Magnus.

Edward Newgate was no exception.

However, as time passed, White Wolf Magnus had not set foot in the country for over a decade. Gradually, news began to spread that White Wolf Magnus was getting old and had thoughts of retiring.

Suddenly, some great pirates who were confident in their strength began to test the waters. After finding that the White Wolf Pirates did not react, they began to seize the assets that Magnus had left behind.

The order of the entire Sphinx showed signs of collapse again.

At this time, three great pirates, led by the Black Heart Merchant Dukemon, stepped forward. Driven by the wealth generated from the pirates' fencing activities, they had taken over the entire Sphinx six months prior.

At first, it was done stealthily.

But under the combined efforts of the three great pirates, a group of pirates became more audacious, confident that even if White Wolf Magnus returned, they could handle him.

The Orphanage of Lambs on Sphinx Island also went bankrupt during this period. All the orphans from the Orphanage of Lambs lost their homes and could only turn into thugs and thieves, struggling to survive.

Despite this, some people still believed that White Wolf Magnus would return.

Until half a year ago.

A group of con artists, disguised as the White Wolf Pirates, defrauded the Black Heart Merchant Dukemon and two other great pirates of a staggering two hundred million Belly before making their escape.

It took half a month after the con artists left for the great pirates led by the Black Heart Merchant Dukemon to receive news that the White Wolf Pirates might have disbanded, realizing they had been tricked.

Suddenly, the three great pirates were furious.

They had only paid the money willingly to avoid a bloody conflict with the White Wolf Pirates that would have benefited other pirate crews; it didn't mean they were truly afraid of the White Wolf Pirates.

However, unable to find the con artists, they could only swallow their pride and suffer the loss. Such a shameful event could not be publicized and had to be concealed as much as possible.

As a result, several other groups of con artists emerged, using the name of the White Wolf Pirates for profit. However, all these con artists were rounded up by the three great pirates.

The reason Iron Hand Jod, under the Undead Pirates, sought out Magnus today was because he mistook him for another group of con artists cheating under the guise of the White Wolf Pirates.

Who would have thought he would run into a real powerhouse?

This time, it wasn't a fake, but the real White Wolf Magnus!

"Captain, you must get justice for me!"

Iron Hand Jod, clutching his severed hand, looked at his captain with a snotty, tearful face.

A large part of his strength was in his hands, and now that Magnus had cut one off, his strength was greatly reduced. He wasn't even sure if he could keep his current position.

"Damn it, look closely, is that really White Wolf Magnus?"

Undead Jason, his body wrapped in bandages, looked annoyed.

When he first received the news, he thought it was another imposter. But Jod's hand was cut off, and even many pirates had personally witnessed "White Wolf Magnus" cleave half a port town with a single strike.

Such strength could not be faked.

After fifteen years, White Wolf Magnus had truly returned, and upon his return, he had severely injured his left and right-hand men, giving him a warning.

"Old man, you're so old, why couldn't you just die obediently?"

Undead Jason looked unwilling.

The profits from Sphinx were terrifying. At least four hundred pirate crews passed through here every year, and the amount from fencing stolen goods alone exceeded one billion Belly.

Coupled with the development over the years, the entertainment venues on Sphinx Island had gradually become more complete. It was no longer just a place for fencing stolen goods, but also a money pit that extracted wealth from pirates.

His share of the annual profit alone was over one hundred million Belly.

In such a situation, making Undead Jason give up the money he had earned was worse than killing him.

Any pirate force that became a great pirate would not be satisfied with ordinary plunder, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and carried the risk of being pursued by the Marines.

They would more often choose to leverage their reputation, develop their underground forces, and operate various gray industries.

Undead Jason had invested too much in Sphinx. If he were to hand over Sphinx now, how could he continue to make a living on the seas?

Therefore, Undead Jason decided to contact the other two great pirates on Sphinx Island.

He didn't believe they would be willing to give up the profits they held.

As expected.

Before Undead Jason could even make contact, the other two great pirates came to him.

Black Heart Merchant Dukemon.

Gargantua Moz.

The Black Heart Merchant was a middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache, dressed in a black tailcoat, while Gargantua Moz, true to his moniker, was a hulking brute over seven meters tall.

It was said that Gargantua Moz carried the bloodline of the Giant race within him.

"We can't just hand over Sphinx like this."

Black Heart Merchant Dukemon stated his business directly upon arrival.

"It took us several years to develop Sphinx into what it is today. White Wolf Magnus shows up and wants to take it back? There's no such easy deal in this world."

His words completely ignored the fact that Sphinx Island's development was originally part of Magnus's plan. Had they not interfered so recklessly, Sphinx's development might have been even better.

"Moz agrees."

Gargantua Moz's voice rumbled with a dull sound.

"Want money? We have none!"

"Want lives? Take one!"

Seeing that the other two Pirate Kings with higher bounties were unwilling to hand over Sphinx, Undead Jason's face lit up with joy.

"As far as I know, White Wolf Magnus isn't here with his entire crew. Only Captain Magnus has arrived, and the other two crew members aren't very strong."

If the entire White Wolf Pirates crew had come, Undead Jason would have genuinely had to consider whether fighting them was worth it.

But with only White Wolf Magnus, it was a different story.

"We are all Pirate Kings with bounties exceeding one hundred million, and we have tens of thousands of pirates under our command. Even if he is White Wolf Magnus, he can't possibly kill all of us!"

Undead Jason declared with great spirit.
