The Heavenly Mothership, which had been moving so steadily that no one even noticed its tremendous speed, suddenly lurched to a halt, as though it had slammed on the brakes in midair.
Everyone aboard was thrown forward.
Those with slower reactions could not stop themselves in time.
They fell onto the deck.
Most of them recovered quickly, staring in astonishment as all sorts of temporarily piled-up items aboard the ship clattered to the floor. Such a scene was truly rare; perhaps not even a few times had occurred since the Pelican entered service. Raven, who was personally guarding Yue Yang, changed expression. Reacting with Lightning Speed, he leaped to the door and carefully checked for enemies before sternly ordering the slightly panicked star pirates, including Flower Duck, "Keep watch over him. Do not let anyone approach. I'll go see what's happening and return immediately! It is very likely a counterattack by Griffin, Golden Eagle, Mao Podi, and the others. If Mao Podi truly comes to rescue him, take him aboard a skiff and leave."
Seeing Raven vanish like lightning, Flower Duck hurriedly shut the cabin door.
Turning back, he forced a smile at Yue Yang. "Big Brother, it's not that I doubt you. It isn't safe outside right now either. Let's wait here for news!"
Yue Yang was speechless. Couldn't they use their brains a little? If they really were enemies, would they cooperate so well?
A single cabin door could not hold anyone back!
Still, one did not strike a smiling face. Flower Duck had treated him fairly well, so Yue Yang could not bring himself to get angry.
Raven rushed to Gladiators' Square at top speed, only to be stunned by the bloody tragedy before him. Countless corpses with broken limbs and twisted bodies lay piled in heaps.
