So as long as John spotted an armed merchant ship, he could simply rob it?
That merchant vessel had just given him an idea.
Meanwhile, aboard the pirate ship, one of the flagmen noticed the signal flags being sent by the armed merchant ship.
His face instantly turned pale.
"Captain! Something's wrong!"
"Another ship has appeared!"
"No... that's not a ship!"
"That's a warship!"
"A battleship!"
"It's the strongest warship in the Lothar Kingdom—a Loren-class battleship!"
"It carries hundreds of cannons!"
"It's practically a moving powder magazine at sea!"
Captain Mad Shark quickly received the report.
Even someone as insane as him immediately sobered up upon learning that a Loren-class battleship had entered the battle.
For a moment, he was completely stunned.
"How is that possible?"
"Our intelligence clearly said that no Loren-class battleship was operating in this area!"
"If that thing fires even a single full broadside at us, we're probably all dead!"
