A few days later, above the vast sea.
A ship flying the flag of the Kamui Pirates sails at a constant speed in the calm waters.
On the deck, Kronos lay on a lounge chair with today's newspaper in hand, reading it while enjoying the cool sea breeze.
The reason for reading the newspaper wasn't because he liked it, but simply to pass the time.
However, the content of today's newspaper surprised Kronos.
Because after many days, the Kamui Pirates were mentioned in the newspaper again!
Of course, it wasn't just the Kamui Pirates that were mentioned.
Also featured were Kronos' "Old Acquaintances," Monkey D. Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates!
And those pirates who belonged to one of the members of the "Worst Generation."
Due to the existence of Kronos and the destruction of the Kid Pirates, the personnel list of this "Worst Generation" has undergone a shuffle.
The original eleven members had increased to thirteen!
Among them, the Kamui Pirates had four members listed as the most notorious!
Kronos, with a bounty of 330 million Berries, was the first to reach the top of the "Worst Generation" list!
Other members on the list included:
Satoru Gojo with a bounty of 210 million Berries,
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki with a bounty of 115 million Berries,
Konan with a bounty of 113 million Berries!
"Captain! A large pirate ship was found to the northwest!"
Carent, who was on lookout duty in the crow's nest, shouted at Kronos on the deck.
Upon hearing the news, Kronos slowly put down the newspaper and looked up slightly towards the northwest of the ship.
"A pirate ship?" he whispered, a smile slowly appearing on his face.
"This is perfect. My ship still needs a navigator!"
Meanwhile, to the northwest of the Kamui Pirates, aboard the large pirate ship, hundreds of pirates were gathered on deck for a grand banquet.
At the peak of the celebration, a thin pirate quickly approached the center of the banquet.
He came to a man in a red captain's suit and spoke in a deep voice.
"Captain! There's a pirate ship in the southeast, heading straight for us!"
"Looking at their size, it seems they're not just any pirates!"
Hearing this report, the captain in the red suit, who had been happily drinking, immediately frowned.
"A pirate ship? Coming towards us?"
The thin man nodded confidently.
"Yes!"
It wasn't just the captain in the red suit who fell silent. Even the surrounding pirates, who had been enjoying the feast, gradually quieted down and looked at their captain.
"How many are they?" the captain asked.
The thin man thought for a moment before answering.
"The ship is small, and the number of people doesn't seem to exceed one hundred."
Upon hearing this, the captain slammed his glass down.
Boom!
Looking at the crew members who were still drinking, the captain raised his voice.
"Brothers, get ready! Grab your weapons!"
"We'll come back to drink after we take them down!"
As soon as the captain spoke, the pirates below shouted in unison, their spirits fired up.
"Grab your weapons!!"
While shouting, the pirates had already started displaying their weapons.
At that moment, a woman with long golden hair, a western sword at her waist, and a beautiful face approached the captain's side.
She spoke hesitantly.
"Bunir! This doesn't seem right."
Hearing her words, the captain named Bunir smiled calmly.
"It's normal for pirates to clash with each other."
"There's nothing wrong with it!"
"Also, you should call me Captain, Illya."
Hearing this, the blonde woman named Illya paused for a moment, then spoke again.
"Okay, Captain!"
"However, that's not what I meant to say."
"The fact that they dare to come straight at us..."
Before Illya could finish speaking, Bunir waved his hand with a smile.
"Illya, you don't understand!"
"You need to realize, we're not on a merchant ship now."
"This is a pirate ship, and you're a pirate now!"
"Fighting among pirates is normal!"
"You can relax!"
"You don't have to take part in this battle, just consider it a learning experience!"
"When it's over, we'll continue the banquet to celebrate your participation!"
"Hahaha..."
With that, Bunir turned around with a wide grin and left the center of the banquet.
Meanwhile, Illya stood there in silence.
Eventually, she sighed helplessly and said nothing further.
Soon after, under Bunir's leadership, hundreds of pirates armed with weapons gathered at the side of the ship.
Looking at the Kamui Pirates sailing directly towards them, Bunir took a moment to look through his telescope.
His brow furrowed tightly.
"Are these guys serious?"
Through the telescope, Bunir could see the ship coming toward them.
Compared to their own ship, the enemy ship looked pitifully small.
In fact, Bunir's ship was three times the size of the Kamui Pirates' vessel!
And, through the telescope, Bunir could see that there were only a few people on the deck of the other ship!
Just as Bunir was wondering, the thin man suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Th-that flag! I... I think I know them!"
Hearing this, Bunir froze for a moment.
He turned his head and asked.
"You know them? How many are they?"
The thin man swallowed hard and stammered.
"They're... they're on the wanted list... there should only be ten of them."
Upon hearing this, Bunir couldn't help but laugh.
This was truly ridiculous!
"Hmph! Only ten people dare to challenge us?"
"What do they think we are? There are hundreds of us!"
"Helmsman! Steer the ship toward them!"
Bunir shouted loudly.
What he didn't notice, however, was that the thin man who had spoken before had already turned pale, a look of fear on his face.
