Golden Lion, We Meet Again

Chapter 225: The next second, the Marines drew their weapons and raised their guns. "I told you these pirates couldn't be trusted! Pirates are pirates. Give them a chance, and they still can't behave themselves."

Crocodile looked ready to explode, but the Marines refused to back down. They had resented pirates being recruited into the Seven Warlords of the Sea from the start. If Mu Chen hadn't kept them in check, they would have fought already.

After all, Mu Chen had rescued half the Marines there from Kui Ying. They hated pirates enough to kill them on sight.
