Lafitte was the first to refuse.
The two of them had fought for a long time without either gaining the upper hand.
What surprised Bull Milo-Teach was that he had failed to overpower Lafitte.
He knew his own strength very well.
And Lafitte was nothing more than an unknown newcomer.
Bull Milo-Teach had never imagined that a newcomer could keep him locked in a stalemate for so long.
Expressionless, Lafitte said coolly, "Since you've attacked the Chris Pirates..."
