In terms of strength, these third-tier Great Pirates were no weaklings among their peers, only slightly weaker than Morin, whose energy had advanced.
Although Morin's class was relatively weak in individual combat, with his energy already advanced, his individual combat strength ranked among the best in the third tier.
Yet these third-tier Great Pirates, whose combat strength was far from weak, were slaughtered like chicks at Dunn's hands.
Annie, who hurried over in time to witness the scene, was stunned.
Fortunately, Annie still understood the importance of the situation. Suppressing her shock, she strode over to Dunn.
"How did it go, Annie? Are the crew all right?"
"They're fine. I ran into someone I knew!"
"Oh? Who? Do I know them?"
"[Oathkeeper] Gannis!"
Seeing Annie's grave expression, Dunn frowned slightly as well.
"That does make things a little troublesome!"
Even in the third tier, Gannis had shown hints of fourth-tier combat strength. Now that he had advanced to the fourth tier, he was no weak fighter even among fourth-tier Classholders.
"Why did he come to Cutlass Harbor instead of going after a Pirate King after advancing?" Dunn asked, feeling a headache coming on.
"He already went after a Pirate King?" Annie said to Dunn with an odd expression.
"Huh? What happened? Don't tell me he bowed and scraped before the Pirate King again?" Dunn said incredulously, looking at Annie's expression.
"No," Annie said gravely. "He challenged a Pirate King-[Giant Wave] Ronald, the Pirate King of this very Aigle Passage."
"And then he lost?" Dunn made a reasonable guess based on the fact that Gannis had ended up in Cutlass Harbor.
"No, he won!"
"???"
Dunn stared at Annie in disbelief. If he had won, he should have already taken over as Pirate King, so why had he come to Cutlass
