After learning that the Chosen One Pirate Crew had also issued a statement, Jin Mo and Song Ling felt even more at ease.
"This way, no one will dare to join them during this period."
"The intimidation from this battle won't be of much use."
"Good, your assistance is sufficient. In fourteen days, when the full strength of the Flying Pirates and the Overlord Pirates is mobilized, we can deal with the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew."
...
Jin Mo and Song Ling had already decided to continue the fight, even though winning wouldn't be worth it.
At this moment, the members of the Overlord Pirates quickly boarded the ship of the Flying Pirates. It was crowded, but they had no choice but to squeeze in.
Jin Mo no longer kept the destroyed ship afloat, and it soon split in half and sank into the sea.
Song Ling watched as her flagship sank, her expression grim. Coming here had not only yielded no benefits but also cost her a flagship, and several Ability User crew members had drowned, which was an immense humiliation.
But she knew she had to endure it.
Song Ling coldly growled, "Ye Yu, just you wait! In fourteen days, I'll avenge today's humiliation!"
Jin Mo also issued a threat, "Let you have your moment of glory for half a month. The outcome in fourteen days will still be the same—you will be defeated by us. If anyone wants to leave the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew now, it's best to do so."
However, no one in the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew would leave.
The pirate ships turned around, and the Flying Pirates and the Overlord Pirates retreated.
Ye Yu didn't let his crew pursue because, even if they could win, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew would suffer significant casualties.
Without him, the combined strength of these two pirate crews would far surpass that of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.
So, even if he took this battle seriously, his side would still suffer considerable losses.
Although casualties were inevitable in future adventures, such meaningless losses were not worth it.
They would come in fourteen days, and that's when the real battle would begin.
At the same time, this was also a form of pressure that could motivate the crew.
At this moment, some powerful pirate crews were contemplating.
The Surgical Pirates.
"Captain, should we try to get closer to Ye Yu and the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew? We could also intimidate the Flying Pirates and the Overlord Pirates, encouraging some to join the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew and thus establish a good relationship with them."
"Let's not. It's better not to provoke or help. After all, powerful pirate crews all aspire to become one of the Four Emperors Pirates or even the One King Pirates. Knowing that Ye Yu's Dominant Feather Pirate Crew will likely attract many after this battle, they've stepped forward to intimidate. We don't need to get involved; we also want to secure a good ranking on the future list."
"That's true. Let the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew face it on their own."
...
At this time, many powerful pirate crews had similar thoughts. They didn't take the opportunity to help, but they also didn't take the chance to kick them while they were down, like the Chosen One and the Azure Dragon Pirates. They neither helped nor provoked.
Just then, a message echoed across the world.
"The anomaly has truly begun. Now, we reveal this information: on a certain island in this world lies the ultimate treasure. Obtaining it will grant a significant amount of Experience Points and a special reward. The captain of the pirate crew that secures this treasure will be bestowed the title of Pirate King. With this title, the Experience Points gained will be tripled."
"Level 100 is not the limit; you can still improve beyond it."
"As for the location of the ultimate treasure island, there will be route stones hidden in mystic realms or islands. Once obtained and connected, they will form a map."
...
This news shook many people, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Now, treasures can randomly appear in many places. Once obtained and deposited into the treasure pool, you can gain equivalent experience points. Since it's called the ultimate treasure and is extremely difficult to obtain, the experience points it can be exchanged for must be enormous."
"Then everyone wants to get their hands on this ultimate treasure. If someone gets it now, they could probably jump dozens of levels instantly, becoming invincible."
"Obviously, finding this treasure is just a dream for now. Obtaining the route stones won't be easy."
"This world is getting more and more interesting."
...
"What's attractive isn't just the massive experience points, but also the title—Pirate King!"
"Among so many pirates, only one can hold this title. Having it would be incredibly prestigious."
...
Too many people aspire to it, but they know only the strongest pirate crews have the qualifications to compete.
Instantly, all the major pirate crews were filled with desire, each brimming with confidence.
Azure Dragon Pirates.
"I, Wang Quanshi, will definitely find the ultimate treasure and become the Pirate King!"
...
Bai Shaohan: "With the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, I will become the top bounty, the number one on the pirate crew rankings, and also the Pirate King!"
Too many prodigies and powerful pirate crews share the same ambition.
At this moment, Jin Mo and Song Ling, who had retreated, felt slightly relieved. They were glad they hadn't impulsively continued the fight, as the casualties would have been severe, and a decline in the pirate crew's combat strength would have been fatal.
"We must obtain it. The overall strength of the pirate crew is paramount. Even if someone else finds the route stones, we can still seize them. It will all come down to the crew's strength."
Jin Mo agreed: "Yes, it's good we didn't engage in battle. But in fourteen days, we must deal with the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew without paying too high a price."
Song Ling frowned: "This time was too humiliating. We must avenge ourselves when the time comes!"
...
At the same time, Lin Muxue was equally eager and confident.
"The one who becomes the Pirate King will definitely be me, Lin Muxue."
Li Cang flattered: "That's inevitable. Let's continue our adventures, search for treasures, exchange for experience, encounter mystic realms, and slay ferocious beasts and sea monsters—all to gain experience."
Lin Muxue asked: "Did my words make it to the trending list?"
"Yes, Ye Yu must have seen it by now."
At this moment, Ye Yu was also intrigued, as this was akin to the One Piece of the pirate world.
The crew members were also filled with fighting spirit.
"Let's work hard to grow stronger and help our Captain become the Pirate King in the future!"
"Captain, look at the trending list. Lin Muxue has issued a challenge to you."
Ye Yu opened his phone and saw a trending post:
Lin Muxue declared that she is happy and not at all regretful about Ye Yu's strength. She urged Ye Yu to continue growing stronger so that she could defeat him in a one-on-one duel and gain the most experience.
Ye Yu smirked disdainfully and issued his own challenge, arranging for it to trend.
Lin Muxue soon saw it.
Ye Yu: Lin Muxue, you should also work hard to grow stronger.
Lin Muxue snorted upon seeing it: "Where does this confidence come from? Did this battle boost your ego? Heh, when the time comes, I'll show you the terror of my Rumble Rumble Fruit."
Just then, the sound of a notification echoed once more.
"The final piece of information is now being announced."
In an instant, the entire world fell silent.
Then, when this piece of information was revealed, everyone was shocked!
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, while many members of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew had their expressions darken.
