The rescued Sea King Islanders were resting in the crew cabin, and it is afraid they haven't rested so casually for a long time.

Fancy looked at her clans with relief. Although they had only rescued a very small number of them now, it was better than when they had only despair.

Onebear's eyes burned with determination as he said, "The captain will save more people! We'll all live well!"

"By the way, where do you guys think Trueking and the others will go?" Twobear asked, "It would be nice to find them."

"Will they go to our original island?" Onebear guessed.

It was at that moment that Raine came down to join in the conversation, "I think that Trueking is a forbearing man, so I guess he shouldn't go to Sea King Island."

All three of them turned their heads to look at Raine, who continued, "They're currently in a tighter financial situation, so I think what they're doing right now must be making money."

"What the fastest makes money? That would naturally be to find pirates. So it wouldn't be hard to find them, just extrapolate from the bounty missions they've recently completed and deduce where they're moving."

Fancy looked at Raine excitedly, "Captain, then shall we look for Brother Trueking now?"

Raine let out a long sigh, "I've just spent 2.9 million, and now I only have 1.1 million in my savings. We need to be more efficient for the next two years to make it work. Otherwise, I definitely won't be able to upgrade my ship in two years."

"This way, first thing in the morning we'll go to the navy and hand over the mission, then get some information about Trueking and the others and head out to sea to find them!"

........................

This year Raine and the gang had eliminated 63 pirate groups, receiving a total of 136,000 pearls in bounty money, as well as an equal amount of points rewarded. They had moved up one level to the F2 bounty group and had 44,300 points left over.

Each level requires 100,000 points after F-class. It is difficult to earn that many points in human-class waters, which is probably why F-class bounty groups do not usually appear in human-class waters.

Of course, Raine didn't care that his rank had exceeded the map requirements, all he wanted was safe!

After taking 10 pearls to a Navy corporal, Raine got the information they needed.

The last two places where the Revenge has handed in missions have been on Bachus Island, 700 nautical miles west of the Ubatan. They appeared to have been there for some time.

After receiving the news, Raine set sail immediately after plotting a course with Armin and the others.

It would take Riane about a month and a half to reach Bachus Island with his speed now, but Raine didn't want to go straight to Trueking and the others; he had pirates to destroy along the way.

Trueking and the others were not going to get away anyway, so the most important thing was to make money, and he was poor!

Ten days later, Raine entered the main shipping lane of the Textile Road, an area of the sea where piracy was rampant and where Raine wanted to hunt.

........................

Three months later, in the tavern of Ryukyu Island, a small transit island. At this time of the year, most of the seafarers had already gone out to sea with their ships, and very few of the islanders would spend money here, so the tavern was supposed to have little business. But for some reason, more and more people have been coming over to drink recently. Most of them were dusty, haggard, and depressed.

Almost everyone was talking about the strange happenings in the nearby waters.

A G3 pirate group was suddenly attacked by unidentified gunfire when they held a wedding at sea for Captain Rosen and all 21 ships were sunk.

A G2 pirate group, the Chaotic Pirates, were attacked from behind while robbing at sea and all 18 ships were sunk.

The G4 Primus Pirates and the G4 Corrosion Pirates were attacked by unknown ships when trading at sea and a total of 46 ships were sunk.

"The most horrific thing was the massacre that happened half a month ago!" A drunken scruffy sailor with a beer in his hand, his eyes full of fear, "That time a total of 7 pirate groups were gathering at sea to discuss the mysterious pirate killer that had appeared so far. The fleet was 100 times more insane than the crazy Revenge a year and a half ago!"

"Just as everyone was about to unite all the pirates and search for that bounty group, we were hit by an unprecedented and ferocious firepower strike!"

"Over 200 ships, 40 ships were torpedoed... Yes, I'm talking about torpedoes, it's amazing that kind of terrible weapon would appear in human-class waters!"

"Then another 40, 40 in each batch, six batches in all, and not a single ship was able to escape!"

"We hadn't even spotted them before they started to sink!"

"That's when we saw a warship approaching out of the mist, followed by a huge number of guns fired from that ship, carpet bombing our 200 or so ships... oooh, oooh... you can't imagine how horrible that scene was! No one could escape... The shell fragments took the lives of I don't know how many people... They, oooh, after sinking all the ships, they didn't even stop and continued to bombard the fleeing crew... the survivor less than one out of ten..." the guy said while crying bitterly, and it was obvious that this one had escaped from that battle.

A strange sympathetic atmosphere permeated the tavern, and the guy's sobs immediately evoked empathy from those around him.

"They... they simply do not treat us pirates like human beings! I've never seen such a heartless bounty group... oooh..."

"They even killed the captain, I think they are simply killing for the sake of killing! You know that they can get more bounty if captured alive, they don't care at all!"

"Hey, what's the use of talking about this? I think you are all escaped pirates too. A friend told me that the pirates over on the Iron Road were almost killed to the last one by one ship, I guess it was this one."

"There's no future in being a pirate now, it's really too dangerous! I'm telling you, I've decided this time anyway, I am going to find an island, like Ryukyu Island, and live the rest of my life in peace."

"Yes, it's too scary. I admit we pirates have a bad reputation, people describe us as murderous bandits. But if we are bandits, that ship is the devil! In all the years of the Azure Era, I've never heard of anyone being so vicious to pirates, and I wouldn't be a pirate anymore anyway."

...........................

A 65m warship was traveling across the sea near the Textile Road.

Raine was unaware of how people were talking about them in some tavern, and he was now depressed.

"Hey, it's so hard to find a pirate ship..."Raine shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, the same thing on Road of Steel was happening again on the Textile Road and pirates were getting harder and harder to find.

"Life's been hard on me!"
