Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Honegg ran to the beach with his n, and that was when he saw Wilton’s body. Tied around two wooden planks, he seed to have died in a similar fasion to the sailor he killed earlier. Even the wound on his stomach was identical as well. It was genuinely an ironic situation. However, the cut on his stomach appeared to be added post-mortem. The lethal wound was actually a small hole on his chest. He must have been killed by an arrow.
Just like the dead pirates on both of Wilton’s ships, the perpetrator left no clues around the cri scene. However, even a blind person would know who the culprit was. The Skeleton was here for less than a day, and the only person they had friction with was Zhang Heng. Both of them argued at the port, with Zhang Heng attacking Wilton’s ship in the end. Since his ship was severely damaged, he had no choice but to release the sailors from the Gentle Breeze. Admittedly, that was how they beca enemies.
Many who gathered there knew that this matter wasn’t about to be settled just like that, but nobody expected Zhang Heng to make the first move as well. All the while, he had the upper hand, so everyone was shocked when they saw how he tackled this problem. It was both ruthless and brutal.
1Wilton was one of the bloodthirstiest pirates Nassau had ever witnessed. He sliced open the stomach of a living man in front of everyone and even smiled while he was at it. That was enough to send chills down everyone’s spines. He was indeed a lunatic. Three hours after the incident, Zhang Heng used the simplest way to avenge the sailor.
A total of 200 pirates were brutally killed. When dawn arrived, the fishern had first spotted Wilton’s body, and the entire tragedy was unfolded before the people of Nassau. Conflicts were rather frequent amongst the pirates of Nassau. Typically, they would only argue over their dispute. Rarely, so resorted to physical fights. Even the most severe incident that they witnessed were two captains brawling with each other. None had ever seen an entire gang of pirates being annihilated, what more, by their fellow pirates.
Of course, anything could happen at sea with witnesses few and far between. Right now, this incident occurred at a busy port. Honegg was natuarally displeased. In the period of a night, the event had escalated and was blown out of proportion into sothing out of his control. After Honegg warned Zhang Heng, it seed that he was willing to make peace with Wilton. With the help of Black Prince Sam, the incident was supposed to end right there.”
As compared to Zhang Heng and Jackdaw, Honegg was more worried about the Skeleton, especially Wilton, whose absolute rciless personality was a rarity amongst the pirates. Birds of the sa feather flocked together, and now, Zhang Heng displayed similar brutality. Honegg began to worry that they would cause more trouble to Nassau. He then took another look at Wilton’s body. It appeared that Wilton had severely underestimated Zhang Heng. If he knew that Zhang Heng was coming at him, he would have killed Zhang Heng first even if it ant losing his flag.
“Where is he right now?!” asked Honegg furiously.
The mont Zhang Heng annihilated the entire Wilton’s pirate group, it ant that he was directly challenging Honegg’s authority. It appeared that yesterday’s warning was all but wasted breath. It was indeed an embarrassing mont for him.
Honegg’s man hesitated to answer his question. However, when he saw his boss getting angrier, he finally spoke up.
“Soone saw the Jackdaw’s pirates near Carina’s trading center. It appears they got a good yield during their last voyage. I think they are getting their share of money now.”
Honegg harrumphed and stord to the trade center without saying a word. His n looked at each other, and a smart-alec ran to tell Domingo about it. The rest were forced to follow Honegg as he looked for Zhang Heng. Soon, Honegg spotted Carina talking to Zhang Heng from afar and increased his pace. Zhang Heng instantly noticed Honegg coming at him in a mighty fury.
Honegg was one of the most experienced pirates in Nassau. He was a generous man when he was still a captain, even going as far as to give a ship that he’d robbed to his n. Rumour had it that half of the captains of Nassau were involved with him one way or another. It might sound like an exaggeration, but it proved that he had connections all over the island.
“Captain Honegg, how can I help you?”
Zhang Heng approached Honegg first and greeted him politely. At first, Honegg wanted to confront him about Wilton’s death but beca speechless the mont they t. After witnessing Wilton’s body and all the dead on the two ships, Honegg felt that Zhang Heng had changed. The Jackdaw had gotten famous in Nassau recently. The reason of their success had everything to do with their conflict with the black-market alliance. Since they lacked experience, old sea legs like Honegg didn’t pay too much attention to him.
After last night’s incident, Honegg unconsciously saw Zhang Heng as soone on the sa level as him. Apart from that, Honegg also realized that many pirates were lining up, waiting to receive their share of gold coins. Judging by the weight of their money bags, it seed Zhang Heng had another excellent yield. The prospect of getting rich made the pirates in line drool like little babies.
Zhang Heng’s capability of leading his n to good money had been proven once again. The Jackdaw was close to becoming a top-tier crew in Nassau. All they needed right now was so fa to make their na known. Attention from the conflict that they had with the black-market alliance wasn’t sothing they wanted, but rather, they wished to be known as the most successful pirate group of Nassau. Usually, there were no shortcuts around matters like this. After Wilton’s death, however, they had inadvertently made their na known throughout the entire Nassau.
Not only did Zhang Heng manage to deal with Wilton’s threats, but he also managed to instill the word that no one should ss with him. The na, the Jackdaw, had beco a bit of a hush-hush matter. This could be seen from the reaction of Honegg’s n. When they heard that Honegg wanted to confront Zhang Heng, they started trembling in fear. This fear and respect he earned ca at the cost of 200 lives. Other than Blackbeard who had attacked Charleston and killed two governor-generals, Zhang Heng was now the most highly respected individual of Nassau.
