Breed lay sprawled on the ground, trembling all over.
He had no idea what had happened.
All he knew was that he had been minding his own business on his turf when a group from the Red Hair Pirates suddenly charged in and attacked without a word.
His Pet-Pet Fruit powers were completely useless against these pirates. His sea beasts were beaten into scattering, and he was pinned to the ground before being brought here.
