The Big Beard had been a powerful figure at sea for years, but he had never encountered anything so bizarre.
In the past, when he hoisted the pirate flag, the sailors on the opposite ship would flee in terror.
In fact, the vast majority of people would immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.
But what's going on right now?
Linked by iron chains, were they afraid they wouldn't be able to escape?
The other pirates on the ship were also a bit confused.
Before they could react, lightning suddenly flashed on the opposite ship, accompanied by a loud shout.
" Electric Energy Surge!"
"Brothers, let's start the raid!"
A bolt of lightning shot from the opposite ship and landed on the pirate ship's deck with a loud "boom".
Several sailors nearby were caught off guard and were instantly blown away.
As the lightning subsided, a man whose body was covered in lightning slowly rose to his feet.
The Big Beard frowned.
A person with innate abilities.
We've run into a tough one.
Since there are gifted individuals on the opposite ship, it must mean they have a batch of good goods.
Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
If we capture this lightning-attribute talent user, the entire cargo on that ship will be ours.
Let's do it!
"Men, whoever cuts off his head gets half the cargo on the ship!"
Fortune favors the bold.
The pirates, who had initially been intimidated by the Dharma King, suddenly became as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood, roaring as they charged forward.
So what if someone has special talents?
Even the strongest person is only one. How will you cope with being surrounded by dozens of people?
"Boarding! Boarding!"
"Blackbeard, your dad's here!"
"For Sigma!"
"Damn it! Can't you be a little more careful? We haven't even jumped onto the other ship yet, and five or six idiots have already jumped into the sea!"
"I'm invincible, do as you please!"
"There aren't enough pirates to go around."
"First come, first served."
"..."
More than a hundred Level One Martial Artist wearing all sorts of animal masks jumped onto the pirate ship like dumplings with a "thud" through the iron chain connecting the two ships.
Among them were many who were blind and plunged headfirst into the sea.
However, dozens of people still ended up on the deck of the pirate ship.
The pirates were dumbfounded.
Have we been betrayed?
This is intolerable!
This is an insult to their pirate profession!
In an attempt to save face, the pirates instantly collided with the clones.
One of the clones, charging at the forefront, swiftly sliced down a pirate with his blade, then laughed heartily.
"Hahaha!"
"The first kill is mine!"
His cool demeanor lasted less than three seconds before he was sandwiched between two pirates and kicked into the sea.
"Can't you coordinate a bit when team fighting? Don't just throw all your skills at one person?"
"I'll throw it, I'll throw it!"
"Jump to the center of the deck and give them a center-blowing attack!"
The clones have extensive experience in team battles, having fought against Tide before.
In just one exchange, the pirates were overwhelmed and beaten by the clone.
The Big Beard standing on the high point had a livid face.
He had never seen such a depraved person.
These sailors who suddenly appeared are a bunch of lunatics.
They fight without any strategy; they're risking their lives for each other.
Even if his stomach is ripped open and his intestines spill out, he will still laugh and pounce on the nearest pirate.
For a moment, the Big Beard leader fell into deep self-doubt.
Who exactly is the pirate?
Boom--
Thunder rumbled in the distance, and the Dharma King, accompanied by thunderous lightning, rushed to the Big Beard's side.
The Big Beard was a veteran of many battles and reacted quickly, raising his fist to strike.
Instead of retreating, the Dharma King advanced and met his punch head-on.
Bang--
The two men each took a few steps back.
The Dharma King raised an eyebrow. " Level Three Martial Artist?"
"Not bad, finally we've found someone who can fight."
Sizzle--
The Dharma King shifted his form and descended from the sky, delivering over a hundred punches to the Big Beard's head within a second.
The Big Beard retreated steadily, with absolutely no chance to retaliate.
"Too slow!"
"Ora Ora Ora Ora--"
The Dharma King transformed into a merciless humanoid output machine, venting his pent-up frustration from the past few days at sea.
The Big Beard was like a groundhog, constantly being hit and unable to retaliate.
On the other side, the pirates were also terrified.
That's terrifying.
The opponent is even more ferocious than the monster.
"I... I surrender."
"Don't you dare! I just had my fill of killing!"
Please, let me vote!
"I said no, and that means no!"
Pirate: "I'm pretty..."
With a swift movement, the clone struck, taking down another enemy.
In less than twenty minutes, the pirate ship's deck was stained red with blood.
The pirates' corpses lay scattered all over the ship.
Some clones were also lost, but the overall loss was not significant.
These beasts waited at sea for more than ten days, then swiftly defeated all the pirates and took not a single prisoner.
Surrounded by the clones, the Big Beard turned pale and felt his hands and feet grow cold.
He noticed that the clones that were gradually approaching him all had glowing eyes and excited expressions, as if they wanted to devour him.
The Big Beard thought that withstanding the Dharma King's attack was the end of it, but little did he know that this was just the beginning.
"This is the boss guarding the gate?"
" The Dharma King, stay away, don't hit him."
"I have a suggestion: whoever defeats the final boss will be the MVP."
"I second that opinion."
"They don't look very impressive. These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a pirate."
"..."
The Big Beard twitched the corner of his mouth.
Good heavens, I, a dignified Level Three Martial Artist and the once-powerful leader of the Black Cross Pirates in the southern seas, have become nothing more than a nobody.
Seeing the hungry eyes of the clones around him, he was afraid.
Thump~
The Big Beard knelt before the Dharma King.
"I was wrong, please give me another chance. I promise I'll be a better person in the future."
The Dharma King pulled over a chair and sat down.
"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"
"I..."
The Big Beard was speechless for a moment.
Yes, where did I go wrong?
Was the robbery the wrong thing to do?
But pirates have to rob, right? What legitimate pirate doesn't rob?
"Um... anyway, I know I was wrong."
"You don't just know you're wrong, you know you're about to die."
The Big Beard raised his head, still making a final struggle.
"Do pirates deserve to die?"
The Dharma King raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't he have died?"
The surrounding clones burst into laughter.
"This is hilarious!"
"One generation of rascals, understand?"
"A rotten orange is a rotten orange."
"Pirates shouldn't die, but we should?"
The Big Beard raised his hands high. "I can tell you where my treasure is!"
"Can you buy my life?"
The Dharma King became interested.
They went through all that trouble to bait their hooks and fish, all for the pirates' treasure.
"That depends on how much stuff you have."
The Big Beard swallowed hard. "My savings from seven years of robbery are all there."
The Dharma King stood up and said, "Lead the way."
The Big Beard breathed a sigh of relief; he had survived for the time being.
Captain Hook rushed out of the Captain excitedly.
"Look, it's a parrot!"
The parrot, looking pitiful, was held in Captain Hook Big Beard's hand, its eyes pleading for help as it looked at the bearded man with teary eyes.
The Big Beard sighed and resolutely turned his head to the side.
