Steku said these words, and the little leader who had made the suggestion earlier fell silent.
Seeing the little leader's silence, Steku snorted coldly and once again ordered the surrounding little leaders.
"Go! Get ready!!"
"I want to sacrifice the flags with the heads of those incompetent fools!"
At this moment, the fighting spirit of the little leaders was ignited.
Cheerful smiles spread across everyone's faces.
"I hope this group of pirates isn't as weak as the last ones, a bunch of softies!"
"Come on, pirates! My broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!"
"Kill them all! Grab their treasure!!"
The small leaders, holding knives, walked out of the wooden house with grins on their faces.
Victory would be theirs! Treasure would belong to them!
For these two points, they firmly believed—and they would fight for it!
Just mere pirates—they had killed more before!
......
Island Coast.
As the ship drew closer to the island, the entire Kamui Pirates crew gathered on the deck.
Wutiao Wu, Tiandao Payne, Jiguo Yuanyi, Konan, and Animal Dao Payne stood on either side of the boat.
Kronos, on the other hand, stood at the bow.
Facing the cool sea breeze, he watched as the ship gradually docked.
The ten pirate handymen stood at the back.
However, at this moment, their emotions seemed off.
Some of them were trembling slightly, as if nervous or afraid of something.
Their eyes were erratic, though they didn't notice it themselves.
Soon, the ship docked.
All the crew began to disembark at Kronos' command.
As soon as he stepped off the boat, Kronos turned back and shouted to the ten pirates.
"You..."
But just as Kronos' voice emerged, one of the ten shuddered, as if startled.
He barely moved, standing still among the group.
If Kronos hadn't been paying attention, he might not have noticed his unusual behavior.
But for Kronos, even without directly focusing on him, he had a clear view of the subtle action.
Kronos squinted slightly and glanced at the man but didn't say anything about it.
Instead, he spoke what he needed to say.
"All ten of you are to replenish the necessary supplies and set sail in the evening."
Upon hearing Kronos' words, no one dared to refute. They quickly nodded in response.
"Yes!"
With that, the ten of them left the coast first.
At this moment, Konan walked up to Kronos and whispered.
"Captain, some of them seem a little off. I'm afraid they might have ulterior motives."
Kronos didn't immediately respond to Konan's warning.
But after watching the backs of the ten leave for a long moment, he finally spoke.
"I know. I saw."
After speaking, Kronos turned his head to look at Beast Path Payne.
"Please, take care of it."
"If they try anything, don't leave any of them alive! Be quiet about it."
Beast Path Payne slowly walked out from behind and replied softly.
"Understood."
Saying that, she walked in the direction the ten pirates had gone.
At the same time, Gojo Satoru approached Kronos with a smile.
"Aren't you worried about that guy?"
Kronos smiled and spoke indifferently.
"It's fine. Let him go."
Kronos took a step forward, and Gojo Satoru, Jiguo Yuanyi, and Konan followed suit.
As for Tiandao Payne, just before taking a step, he slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the grass on the high cliff.
When Tiandao Payne looked toward the grass on the high cliff, behind it, Lawn—who had been secretly observing Kronos and the others—noticed and squatted down abruptly.
An inexplicable and intense fear enveloped his body and mind in that instant.
His heart pounded wildly.
"Boom! Boom..."
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as Lawn swallowed hard and muttered to himself.
"What's going on?!"
"Did... did he find me?!"
"No?! No! He couldn't have spotted me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so indifferent."
Muttering, Lawn felt a little relief.
After a pause, he stood up again and looked down.
When he saw that Kronos and the others had gone far, the terrifying man in a long black trench coat did not stop.
Lawn was completely relieved.
"Hoo~ let's go!"
"It seems they really didn't find me."
Saying that, Lawn paused for a moment, and the appearance of Tiandao Payne appeared in his mind.
Those cold purple eyes and that strange outfit made him shudder!
"Just imagining it makes me feel like I'm falling into an ice cave."
"That guy... is he a monster?!"
