Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Enemy of the Pirates

Xiaohu used the telescope to look this way, then that way, only then realizing the crucial detail; the multitude of pirates all hailed from different pirate gangs, as evidenced by the different gang symbols on the ships.

Lu Yi was perplexed, "What does this mean? Have several pirate gangs from the Triangle Sea Area formed an alliance?"

Xiaohu shook his head, looking rather pessimistic, "I fear all the pirate gangs have joined forces."

At these words, everyone’s hearts sank. Gu Fan questioned, "If all the pirate gangs combined forces, what are they planning to do? Are they also looking for the most mysterious island? But how did they manage to follow us?"

Su Hui also found it strange, "If these pirate gangs have the same goal as us - to find that island - how did they know about the existence of the island in the first place?"

As everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard a pirate shouting something over a loudspeaker. However, they couldn’t understand the language. Whatever was being said was certainly not a friendly greeting—it sounded more like a curse.

Understanding the language, Xiaohu translated for them, "It seems like the pirates despise you so much that they’ve joined forces against you."

Du Jun was the first one to understand, "It seems our suppression of the pirates these past days has humiliated them. We have become their public enemy."

"Of course, justice is the enemy of evil. We stand on the side of justice," Xu Haowen exalted, then added, "Why worry? Lin Xi, just cast a spell to create a tsunami, and the greatest threat in the Triangle Sea Area will be resolved instantly. It will be a great deed for everyone."

"Rest assured, if they dare come, I’ll cast a spell," Lin Xi’s words greatly reassured everyone. No matter how many pirates they were up against, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Gu Fan found it strange, "Even if these pirates are targeting us, how did they manage to find us? We’ve been sailing in thick fog. How come just as the fog lifts and the island submerges, the pirates show up?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into doubt. They thought, during the fog, the pirates should have stayed near the island and not ventured off. Seeing the pirates’ determination, it seemed they had been pursuing them despite the foggy weather.

Lu Yi proposed, "Could it be that the pirates, feeling emboldened by their numbers, have become fearless of the fog?"

Everyone considered this a possibility. Yet Gu Fan felt something was amiss. He could understand if the pirates saw them as a threat, prompting them to unite against him and his comrades. What he couldn’t wrap his head around was how the pirates dared to venture forth through the foggy weather, and moreover, how they managed to pinpoint their location directly.

With so many pirate ships, and not staying together, venturing into the fog exposed them to the risk of being picked off one by one. If he were a pirate, Gu Fan thought, he wouldn’t dare embark in such foggy weather.

"Hold on. Earlier during the fog, I saw Lisa on the island. That means she didn’t strike today despite the fog. Hence, sailing in the fog would be safe. Perhaps the pirates embarked despite the fog, knowing this. But why?" Gu Fan couldn’t understand. If his conjecture was correct, how did the pirates learn that it was safe to sail in the fog this time? Could it be they had a wise guide?

A wise figure? Gu Fan wondered if it could be Shennv Xuanhui. He then shouted, "Qian Feng, I know you’re there, show yourself! Let’s settle our score."

"What? Qian Feng is part of the pirate gang?" Everyone looked puzzled, unsure why Gu Fan came to this conclusion.

As Gu Fan shouted, he clearly saw some pirates looking back. This further confirmed his suspicion. Hence, he glared towards the rear of the Pirate Alliance fleet, gritting his teeth.

After a moment of silence, Qian Feng’s laughter resounded in the sky, "Gu Fan, I must say you’re impressive. You guessed it. That’s right, every pirate in the Triangle Sea Area now sees you all as enemies, and I will help them in their quest for revenge. This time, you’re finished."

"As I thought!" Gu Fan had guessed correctly, but he didn’t feel triumphant.

Lin Xi also understood, "So that’s it. It’s because Qian Feng guaranteed their safety that the pirates dared to advance in the foggy weather."

"It seems that Qian Feng did defeat Lisa last time, which is why she dared not take action this time despite the fog." Gu Fan couldn’t help but worry. His side had only barely managed to repel Lisa by joining forces with the big boss. Now their adversary was Qian Feng, who was even more formidable than Lisa. This would be a difficult battle.

Then, Qian Feng’s voice echoed again, "Gu Fan, your defeat is assured. Qian Ye, and everyone else, you still have time to surrender. Also, O big boss, there’s no need for you to stand against me just to protect Gu Fan, right? I have a massive army. Wouldn’t it be better if we collaborate to kick Gu Fan out of the game?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan looked towards the other large cargo ship. The big boss was standing on the ship but was too far away to discern his expression. Gu Fan wondered how the big boss would respond.

"I’m sorry, but I still believe that Gu Fan is the most ideal partner. Gu Fan, I’m with you." The big boss’s reply was decisive. This put Gu Fan’s mind at ease. This commitment and the subsequent actions would suffice to resolve their past conflicts.

"Ok then, how about you, Qian Ye?" After she finished, Qian Feng sighed, "Never mind, it’s pointless to even ask you. You’ll definitely side with Gu Fan. I didn’t expect the day would come when you would betray the Shennv Xuanhui for a man."

"What does that even mean?" Gu Fan shook his head, unable to understand why Qian Feng was still persevering over this issue.

Qian Feng bellowed, "Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance, Qian Ye. Everyone, attack!"

Following Qian Feng’s command, pirates at the front started picking up their guns, aimed at the two large freighters, and started firing. Bullets rained down on them like a torrential downpour.

"Everyone be careful; get down!" Gu Fan ordered as he dropped to the ground, crawling forwards, meanwhile signaling to Su Hui.

Meanwhile, the commotion on the sea surface was sensed by Lisa. The corners of her mouth turned upward and she couldn’t help but laugh, "This is great, so many people have come. This is wonderful."

The Wandering Sea Ghosts were also thrilled, "We were worried that there were too few living people, we didn’t expect this."

"Don’t let them fight too long, we can’t afford casualties. Let them see who is the real ruler of this Sea Area. Definitely not those tasteless, clothed pirates." Following Lisa’s remark, she waved her hands, and gigantic shadows emerged from the deep sea, rushing toward the countless pirate ships on the sea surface with tremendous speed.
