The Sacred Pirate Group, the Redbird Pirate Group, and the Great Pirate Group were the three largest pirate groups in the Sacred Ocean. The reason why these three pirate groups could become the three strongest pirate groups was largely due to their possession of the Specter Pirate Ship. After receiving news of the Specter Pirate Ship, Blackflag and the others naturally couldn't help but head over to verify the authenticity of the news.
"Where is your boss now? Why did the Hurricane Pirate Group release you?" Chen Mo nodded and asked.
"They are in the southern part of the Sacred Ocean, on a small island owned by the Hurricane Pirate Group.
They released us because they wanted us to take out 10,000 Gold Coins to ransom Boss and the others. However, 10,000 Gold Coins is practically equivalent to selling off all of the Blackflag Pirate Group's wealth. In this way, the Blackflag Pirate Group would be destroyed. We had no choice but to return to find Master to rescue Boss and the others. "
"The Hurricane Pirate Group is only a pirate group with less than 200 members, and they even own a small island?"
Chen Mo was a little surprised. He had expected the two to return for ransom. However, the Hurricane Pirate Group's strength seemed to be beyond his imagination.
"It is only a very small island. It is completely barren. Aside from the middle of the island and a dock that can be used as a nest, there is nothing special about the island. It is no different from a barren island," one of them hurriedly explained.
Chen Mo nodded. If that was the case, then it could be explained. However, even if it was an island like this, not just anyone could own it. The Hurricane Pirate Group's strength still couldn't be underestimated.
As for the Hurricane Pirate Group, which had less than 100 members and was weaker than the Blackflag Pirate Group, Chen Mo directly ignored them.
Before coming to the Aiqin Kingdom, he could already deal with the Blackflag Pirate Group. With his current strength, the Hurricane Pirate Group was simply no match for him.
To ransom the Blackflag Pirate Group, he needed 10,000 Gold Coins. It wasn't that Chen Mo couldn't afford 10,000 Gold Coins. However, he had spent more than 10,000 Gold Coins in one go inside the Ability Battle Tower. If he took out another 10,000 Gold Coins, the remaining Gold Coins would be unbearable.
Moreover, he had always been the one extorting others. When had it ever been others' turn to extort him? Naturally, he wouldn't give the 10,000 Gold Coins to the Hurricane Pirate Group.
The Hurricane Pirate Group was only slightly stronger than the Black Flag Pirate Group. It just so happened that he could bring Thunder Beast out for a stroll.
Back then, the Thunderous Beast had only been hatched for a few days before it caused the Blackflag Pirates to suffer a huge loss. Now that more than a month had passed, Chen Mo had given a portion of all the good things he had on hand to the Thunderous Beast.
The Life Fruit, Fire Rock Fruit, and the various Attribute Fruits that Big Fatty had stolen together with them. After more than a month, the Thunder Beast's growth rate was astonishing. Its body was several times larger than before. It was now the size of a small mountain. When it stood up, it was three to four meters tall. It was worthy of being called an ancient sea beast.
And such a guy could only fish and bask in the sun outside the territory every day. It was too much of a waste.
Furthermore, since they were so close to each other, Chen Mo could even summon Big Fatty to help him. With the Thunder Beast and Big Fatty working together, there was no need for him to fear the Hurricane Pirates.
"Let's go. Take me to where the Hurricane Pirates are."
Chen Mo made his decision.
After bidding farewell to You Ji, Enoch, and the others, Chen Mo led the two pirates out of Katrina.
Currently, Katrina was surrounded by a forest on one side and the southern sea on the other. Originally, there was only one entrance to Katrina. However, a gate had been constructed on the other side of the sea. Otherwise, a gigantic fellow like the Thunder Beast would have to take a long detour to return to Katrina. Moreover, the Thunder Beast's body was enormous. Every time it entered through the front gate, it would inevitably attract trouble.
After exiting through the back gate, the beach was not far away. The Thunder Beast was lying on the beach, basking in the sun.
The two pirates did not dare approach the Thunder Beast. Chen Mo walked over and rudely patted the Thunder Beast's head, saying, "Come, follow me. I'll take you out to play."
The Thunder Beast was bored to the point of mold. When it heard Chen Mo's words, its eyes immediately lit up and it became spirited. With a boom, it jumped into the sea ahead.
Chen Mo and the two pirates boarded a small boat. The two pirates then rowed the boat and led the way.
It would take over two hours to travel from Katrina to the Hurricane Pirate Group's island. However, Chen Mo was not in a hurry.
The Hurricane Pirate Group and the Storm Pirate Group totaled nearly 300 people. A frontal confrontation was definitely impossible. If he wanted to rescue Blackflag and the others, the best way was to launch a night attack.
While the small boat advanced, Chen Mo questioned the two pirates again, asking them many detailed questions. Naturally, the two pirates told him everything they knew.
Hearing their words, Chen Mo nodded his head. When they passed by a small island where pirates often gathered to trade, he instructed the two pirates to go in and purchase some items.
There were plenty of such pirate trading islands in the Sacred Sea. These islands had always been in a neutral state. However, there were only NPCs on these islands. Chen Mo did not enter the island. Instead, he sat on top of the Thunder Beast and found a place to hide so that others would not discover his relationship with the Blackflag Pirates.
After the two pirates purchased the items Chen Mo needed, the three of them set off once more.
"In another ten minutes or so, we'll enter the pirates' alert range," the two pirates said to Chen Mo.
The two pirates said to Chen Mo. On the way here, they already knew what Chen Mo planned to do.
You guys head back first. Don't alert the enemy. "
Chen Mo nodded his head. He then jumped onto the Thunder Beast beside him and waved his hand, gesturing for the two pirates to return.
The two pirates' strength was average. With them around, the situation would be the same. As for what he needed to know, he had already asked them about it.
The two pirates also knew what they needed to do. Nodding their heads, they rowed the boat and left.
"Let's go. We'll sneak over."
Chen Mo then said to the Thunder Beast.
The Thunder Beast was extremely fast underwater. Chen Mo also possessed water skills. Hence, the two of them had no problems sneaking up on the Hurricane Pirate Group's island and scouting it out.
Normally, the Thunder Beast did not dare travel too far by itself. Now that it had come out, it was curious about its surroundings. Without hesitation, it led Chen Mo and dove into the depths of the sea.
Even if the Hurricane Pirate Group's members were on guard against people diving into the sea, they would never have thought that an overlord of the sea like the Thunder Beast would target them.
The Thunder Beast's speed underwater was simply too frightening. According to the two pirates, they would enter the island's surveillance range in another ten minutes. After that, they would need another ten minutes or so to reach the island.
However, the Thunder Beast only needed five minutes to bring Chen Mo to the depths of the sea below the island.
The Thunder Beast was massive. Its appearance on the sea's surface would definitely alarm the enemy. Hence, Chen Mo had the Thunder Beast play around by itself while he snuck up from the bottom of the sea.
Chen Mo stealthily revealed himself on the shore of the island where the waves were surging.
This small island had nearly 300 people. Initially, Chen Mo was worried that the island would be heavily guarded. However, after emerging from the sea's surface, he discovered that the Hurricane Pirate Group did not seem to be worried about someone sneaking up on them.
After giving it some thought, the Hurricane Pirate Group could not be blamed.
They had the advantage in numbers. As long as a large number of ships did not attack them head-on, a dozen or even dozens of people diving into the sea would not pose a threat to them.
Chen Mo activated his Camouflage Skill and landed on the island. He then began his reconnaissance.
Although the two pirates had described the island, this was the first time they had entered the Hurricane Pirate Group's lair. Moreover, they had been captured. Hence, they did not have the time to take a closer look.
After observing for a while, Chen Mo discovered that this was indeed not a good place. With the Hurricane Pirate Group's strength, the only reason they were able to occupy this island was because the other pirate groups looked down on them.
The entire island was barren. There was no vegetation. The only bright spot was a sunken bay dock.
The members of the Hurricane Pirate Group ate and drank in the bay. If anything happened, they would immediately board their pirate ships.
As for the Blackflag Pirate Group, they were imprisoned in a cave near the sea.
The cave had sturdy iron windows. Through the iron windows, one could see the sea outside. However, the two pirates imprisoned in the cave did not know the exact location of the cave. After listening to their description, Chen Mo came up to investigate and found the cave's location.
The cave was near the sea. However, if one wished to enter the cave, they could only enter through a special passage in the bay dock.
Practically all the members of the Hurricane Pirate Group were gathered in the bay. Even if Chen Mo possessed a very high Camouflage Skill, it was still impossible for him to enter the cave without being discovered.
…
The first part was even worse.
