Chapter 500: Chapter 296: The Huge Secret of Peter Pan, Black Heart, and Private Waters 30 Years Ago_1

In the world of pirates, every alleyway in the Transfer Port is filled with spies. Even a boy selling newspapers might be an informant for someone.

Therefore, the news about the unsuccessful assassination of Ivita by the Small Brotherhood of Trustworthiness hired by the Valji Family headquarters, coupled with the death of the third-ranked assassin in the Transfer Port, had spread all over the Transfer Port.

As a result, many small pirate groups who had been scheming in the shadows to attack Ivita for profit quieted down, realizing that they were not dealing with pushovers.

Meanwhile, the advertisements of Wilson and Captain Sam hiring professionals with the Iron Mountain Knight started a tide in the Transfer Port.

Now, everyone in the Transfer Port is eager to see the end result of the war between Ivita and his group from the mainland and the Valji Family.

Would it result in a complete failure for the minor hegemon, the Valji Family, or would these mainlanders be crushed by the Valji Family?

When Ivita, the Hearthstone Witch, and a beautiful mermaid witch went to their private waters, they passed a bar where everyone inside was discussing the Valji Family and their affairs.

Some pirates supported the Valji Family, while others supported Ivita and his group.

A pirate captain with a scarred face and a crab-like claw for a left hand said to everyone, "I support those mainlanders, Ivita and his group. I believe they will win in the end. Have you all forgotten? The Captain of the Eternal Island, one of the seven legendary pirate ships, also attacked and defeated the original legendary pirate ship, the Black Heart. It was only after he completely destroyed them that he became a legendary pirate!".

"This very event happened nearby the Transfer Port."

"Thirty years ago, many elderly people in the Transfer Port still remember this event. Captain Peter was initially a mainlander, but now he is a legendary pirate in our hearts, the person all pirates aspire to become."

Someone suddenly laughed with disdain. It was an old pirate with a chest shaped like a sea cucumber. "Scarface Captain, I know that legendary war better than you. A legendary pirate ship falls, and another rises to take its place. Some fail, while others succeed."

"The number of the Pirate Earls —- the legendary pirate ships— always stays at seven. When one falls, another takes its place."

"In the grand history of sixty years in the world of pirates, legendary pirate ships have been continuously eliminated and replaced, forming the current situation that is nearly unchangeable. The current legendary pirate ships are the strongest lineup in history."

"But you dared to compare those mainlanders to Captain Peter. You must be insane. Who is Captain Peter, and who are those mainlanders? A legendary pirate like Captain Peter only appears once in a hundred years. If Captain Peter knew that you’d dared to compare him with those mainlanders, you’d be done for."

The sea cucumber old pirate scoffed, "You young people oversimplify things. Just because the Valji Family has met with a temporary setback, you think they’re finished. But I don’t believe it’s that simple. The Valji Family still has resources besides manpower, and while everyone says this new smuggling family that has risen in the past decade has no backing, I don’t believe it. Even if they truly had no supporters in the past, now that they’ve reached their current position, there will undoubtedly be people going to all lengths to become the power behind the Valji Family."

The sea cucumber old pirate took a hefty swig of rum, then slammed the glass onto the wooden table. "If I were those mainlanders, I would take this as a victory and end it here."

A relatively younger pirate captain who also supported Ivita chimed in. "You older folks are too cautious. Ivita and his crew have already won by robbing a smuggling family. As long as they maintain this momentum, they will continue to win."

The sea cucumber old pirate laughed heartily. "Do you want to be a gambler?"

"But every gambler, no matter how much they’ve won in the past, eventually loses everything. Then they’ll regret not stopping while they were ahead."

Another old pirate beside the sea cucumber old pirate added, "This old brother has always had very accurate judgment. That’s why I believe him."

"There must be someone backing the Valji Family. Their forces are still significant. Those mainlanders might be exhausted after this battle, otherwise why would they be in such a hurry to hire new people? Hahaha... the final victor might still be the Valji Family, but after this, even if the Valji Family wins, they would lose the chance to rise to a larger organization."

Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch bought some drinks in the bar and offered a round to all the pirates. Then they took their purchased drinks and left the bar.

Only then did the people in the bar startle and realize that the group that had just been there could have been the mainlanders who had been making big noise these past few days.

Many people in the bar were shocked.

"The men who treated us with rum might have been Ivita and his crew, they actually heard everything we said."

"I hope he doesn’t pick a fight with us. Did you notice? Just passing by me, it felt like my skin was pricked by needles. The demonic pressure around him was too intense."

"It seemed like there was a fourth-grade witch following him. Sigh~ A witch of that level is a formidable character, but she follows him around as respectfully as a maid."
