Rossi learned that CP3 was organizing more than a dozen pirate crews under Baruf Tani to seize the city, and he hurried his group to finish loading their ship. Before leaving, he discovered Jora’s charitable work and warned her to watch the sea, then tried to contact a nearby base but received no answer.
