"Get them! They can't hold out much longer!"
"Damn it! Out of my way! Let me handle this!"
"Who the hell do you think you are? The final blow is mine!"
The pirates swarmed forward, shoving and jostling one another.
Those were Blue Crystal and Black Gold!
If they killed those two themselves, what greater honor could a pirate ask for?
Once word got out, their pirate crews would at least double in size!
Christa and Aequus exchanged a glance.
Their faces were full of mockery for these greedy fools.
The next moment, Christa abruptly turned into lightning and shot into the clouds.
Black Gold suddenly transformed into a King Kong Gorilla as well, charging straight through the encirclement.
At the sight, the pirates panicked.
"Holy shit! They're getting away!"
"Catch them!"
"That's lightning!"
"Only one left? Nobody touch him!
He's mine!"
Some of the cleverer ones hurled taunts at Aequus.
"Hey, you're just going to run?
Is this what the Navy calls courage?
Running away from pirates?
Hahahaha! What a joke!"
"You're that man's second-in-command!
If you run, it's the same as him running!"
Aequus merely sneered, with no intention of answering.
Jack's eyes were bloodshot, and his opponent's sudden disappearance left him seething with frustration.
His gaze shifted and landed on Aequus.
He immediately found himself a target.
King stood where he was, his brows tightly furrowed.
He had studied Aequus and Christa before.
He knew how ruthless those two were.
When facing pirates, they always wiped them out to the last man.
Running away had never been an option.
Their strange behavior now gave him another ominous feeling.
After all, few people remained calm.
The pirates had already gone mad after losing their chance at the Poneglyph.
Now, the chance to kill that legend's second-in-command was right
