Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 25 "Caution" Can Also Be a Weakness

The Black Cat Pirates, a certain base.

As time went by, the spies sent out by the Black Cat Pirates returned one after another and waited quietly at the base.

On the appointed day, the small boat that led the way appeared on the shore and took the scouts back to the Hundred Plans Braku.

This is one of the Black Cat Pirates' usual tactics, which effectively avoids being ambushed by the Navy. Even if the Navy follows a small boat, it is much easier to escape pursuit on the open sea.

Moreover, the Black Cat Pirates are not afraid of clashing with the Marine branch at all.

Half a day later, the small boat rejoined the main ship.

The spies gathered on the deck.

The number of people was one-third less than when they left.

Being killed by other pirates, betrayed, or missing the return time are all common reasons and can be considered normal losses.

Pirates fight each other constantly to seize territory, and they also grow stronger by devouring their opponents.

A few manpower losses are nothing to the Black Cat Pirates; they can quickly absorb other pirate crews to replenish their ranks.

On the deck, Chloe sat in the captain's seat, raised his hand and pushed up his glasses with his palm, his eyes behind the lenses were icy cold.

"Tell me, what did you learn?"

The pirates' palms were sweating with nervousness.

Their Captain Crowe is a cruel and ruthless man, and they will surely be killed if they return without any gains.

Captain Crook hates trash!

"Captain, I'm in Orange Town."

"captain."

The pirates reported the intelligence they had gathered with trepidation. It was mostly about the wealth and poverty of some villages and towns, as well as information about some local rich people.

As is customary, the captain will choose one as a target for plunder.

It's not enough for the target to have money; the difficulty and efficiency of the raid must also be considered. Dragging it out for too long can easily attract the navy.

Although they are not afraid of the navy, clashing with the navy would not benefit them at all; it would not only deplete their own fighting strength but also hinder their plundering of treasures.

After the report was finished, the deck was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Kro lowered his head slightly, resting his chin on his hands, and remained silent. His subordinates who knew him well knew this was a sign of dissatisfaction.

The pirates held their breath.

The Black Cat Pirates have limited territory, and there are only a handful of towns suitable for plundering and that are also wealthy. Unless they expand outwards, they don't have many targets to choose from.

However, expanding outwards means clashing with other powerful pirate crews, and their captain is rather cautious and doesn't like taking risks.

They had no choice!

Kro took off his glasses, picked up a silk cloth and wiped the lenses, feeling even more dissatisfied and disgusted with the current situation.

These subordinates are all useless!

Pirates are all trash!

Zango, holding the brim of his hat, slid backward to stand beside Kro, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Now it's time for the grand finale!

"Captain Crowe, I've come across some very interesting information that might interest you."

"."

Kro paused slightly as he wiped his glasses, then stood up.

"Come with me."

The two arrived at the captain's cabin.

Zango briefly recounted his experience on Glass Bead Island, omitting the dancing incident and emphasizing instead the wealthy family he had discovered.

The Sirob family!

They not only sponsored the Funky dance competition, but also had a private luxury ship, and were personally received by the mayor of Glass Pearl Island.

Such a wealthy man would actually live in an ordinary village, and coincidentally, Syrup Village is located in the territory of the Black Cat Pirates.

There is no more suitable goal than this.

After pulling off this job, they can live a carefree life for at least a year.

"How pitiful. They clearly possess countless riches, yet both husband and wife are sickly and look like they won't live for many more years. Their only daughter is also thin and frail."

"If I could marry their daughter, wouldn't that be like rising to the top in one step?"

"It's a pity, they're about to be finished."

Zango spoke eloquently, seemingly already envisioning the scene of the Syrup family being razed to the ground by the Black Cat Pirates.

He does not mean that.

Kro's pupils contracted, and an overwhelming sense of joy welled up inside him. Wasn't this exactly the way he had been hoping to clear his name?

After infiltrating the Sirob family and gaining their trust, he could cause the Sirob couple to "die unexpectedly," possibly without even having to lift a finger.

The little girl left behind, all alone and helpless, could be manipulated at will.

Of course, he had no interest in becoming a wealthy man's son-in-law; all he cared about was the other person's status and wealth.

Even little girls have to die!

Zango grew increasingly excited as he spoke, urging impatiently, "Captain, let's get going!"

"No rush."

Kro raised his hand and pushed up his glasses.

He wanted more than just wealth; he also needed stability. Letting his foolish subordinates run amok would only ruin his plans.

Not only can they not plunder the Syrup family, but they also have to prevent other pirate crews from intervening.

In addition, he must personally verify the authenticity of the plan before he can feel at ease!

"Zango, move the boat to the waters near Xirob Village!"

"clear!"

-

On the other side, there's Glass Bead Island.

After a wonderful two-week trip, Keya was satisfied but also felt deeply exhausted. She preferred a quieter life to the excitement outside.

She was homesick.

The Silobu returned to port.

Inside the cabin, Loya hung up the Den Den Mushi (a type of telephone) that was supposed to be in contact with the branch office, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt relieved after being on edge for half a month.

Finbuddy immediately came over.

"How is it?"

"It's safe!"

Loya laughed.

"By the way, Finbdy, how did you convince Colonel Rhodes?"

"hey-hey."

Finnbudy was somewhat smug.

"I stood on the rooftop all day!"

"."

Loya remained silent for a while, then silently gave a thumbs up.

Branch 153, Operations Conference Room.

All branch officers and captains assembled.

Nautical charts are hung on the wall, with more than a dozen surveillance locations marked on nearby islands, centered on the island where Xiluobu Village is located.

"Lieutenant Lipa, you are responsible for guarding the eastern coast of Xirob Village!"

"Sergeant Morgan, you're in charge."

Colonel Rhodes was assigning tasks.

Previously, Finbuddy brought back three members of the Black Cat Pirates, and from them, he learned about the Black Cat Pirates' rendezvous point.

Although they couldn't defeat Kuro with this, it wasn't entirely useless. The surveillance ship they dispatched tracked the small boat that made the rendezvous and eventually confirmed the direction the Black Cat Pirates had left in.

Judging from the flight path, the Black Cat Pirates are most likely heading to Syrup Village, which gives Colonel Rod more confidence in Loa's plan.

"Listen carefully, monitor the waters near Syrup Village 24 hours a day. Report to me immediately if the Black Cat Pirates are spotted!"

"clear!"

The officers' eyes were menacing.

Not only did they fight pirates, but the Black Cat Pirates also killed a large number of Marines from the 153rd Branch, a bloody act of hatred.

No one will forget the crushing defeat six months ago!

End of the meeting.

Colonel Rod arrived at the rooftop and gazed in the direction of Xirob Village.

"That kid should be here soon."

A smile spread across Rod's face.

He was quite shocked when he first learned about Loya's "plan to eliminate the Black Cat Pirates" from Finbuddy.

This cannot be described as mere fantasy.

This is utter nonsense.

He couldn't possibly gamble the safety of the entire branch with just one plan. Even if it turned out to be a farce, the manpower and resources invested by the branch would be an unbearable cost.

However, under Finbdi's "threat," he reluctantly agreed to wait and see and made some preparations, thinking that they might come in handy when he attacked Crow later.

It wasn't until Loya and F.F.B.D. actually captured the hypnotist Zango that he truly took Loya's plan seriously.

Loya's single-handedly annihilating the Tulip Pirates was like a shot in the arm for him. That kid is more promising than him and will definitely become a pillar of the 153rd branch in the future, or even go further!

He decided to go "crazy" with Loya!
