As wave after wave of cannon fire came to an end, more than half of the coastal artillery and pirates on Pirate Island had already been destroyed.
Their morale had completely collapsed.
But before they could recover, the second and third volleys followed immediately.
The remaining coastal defenses were annihilated in an instant.
The pirates gathered around the harbor were stunned at first.
Then, once they realized what was happening, they turned and ran for their lives.
None of them could understand why the Golden Merry had suddenly launched an attack on Pirate Island.
Captain Sandstorm and the group of pirates aboard the ship were clearly their own people.
The Golden Merry was even flying a black flag!
A terrible possibility immediately occurred to them.
"Could Captain Sandstorm have betrayed us?"
"Did he actually bring the Lothar Kingdom's naval forces here to attack his own people?"
"That must be it!"
