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

Chapter 36 Give them a beating, don't let a single one escape.

half a month later.

An unnamed island in the western sea.

Linus stood on the lookout tower atop the warship's mast, observing the island through binoculars. He quickly located the pirate stronghold, where their pirate ship was anchored in a narrow bay.

Linus immediately shouted at the deck.

"Lieutenant Loya, a pirate base has been spotted on the island ahead. Judging by the pirate flag, it should be the Ramus Pirates!"

"Ramus"

Loya flipped through the bounty posters and quickly found the corresponding target.

"The Skinner" Ramus, with a bounty of 550 million Berries, is a pirate known for his cruelty, especially his fondness for skinning his enemies.

Now that we've found it, we can't let it go.

Loya picked up his binoculars, observed the terrain of the pirate stronghold, and quickly made a judgment.

"Iska!"

"arrive!"

"You will lead two squads to land on the side of the island. Within half an hour, you must reach the rear of the pirate stronghold and block their retreat!"

"yes!"

Iska accepted the order in a deep voice.

Landing operations are the most arduous tasks. The environment on uninhabited islands is harsh, and it is difficult to advance even on rugged terrain, let alone to get around to the rear of the pirate base.

But she didn't complain.

When pirates are attacked within their base, they usually have two options: either confront the enemy head-on or hide deep within the island and rely on the environment to avoid them.

Loya looked at the others.

"Fempudini! Zango!"

"arrive!"

"Prepare for battle. Artillery fire will begin in half an hour!"

"clear!"

The marines quickly sprang into action, and Iska led two small teams of twenty men aboard small boats to land on the uninhabited island.

After half an hour.

The warships rapidly advanced into the bay, positioned horizontally towards the pirate stronghold, with twelve side cannons and two heavy cannons at the bow poised to fire.

Loya drew his sword and roared.

"fire!!!"

"Let's blow up the pirate ship first!"

"Give them a good beating! Don't let a single pirate escape!"

Instantly, the warships roared to life with their cannons.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Clusters of fire exploded in the bay, rendering the anchored pirate ships immobile and turning them into targets for the warships, where they were instantly engulfed in artillery fire.

"Enemy attack!"

Alarm bells were rung at the outpost.

However, faced with the sudden barrage of fire, the untrained pirates were thrown into chaos and were unable to mount a proper counterattack.

Captain Ramus, who was enjoying himself, walked out of the room in disheveled clothes. When he saw the warships in the bay, he panicked completely.

"Damn it, it's the Navy!"

They are no match for a regular army!

But instead of fleeing immediately, he went back inside, hurriedly packed the treasure into a chest, and then carried the chest to the island.

As a pirate, even in death, one must not abandon one's treasure!

As he escaped the stronghold, a beautiful female marine blocked his way, her cold gaze seemingly piercing him through.

The war ended quickly.

Without their captain, the pirates, fighting individually, were no match for the others. Apart from a few lucky ones who managed to escape into the island, nearly half of the pirates were killed in battle, and the rest surrendered.

Marines were cleaning up the battlefield.

Not long after, Finbdi came to Loya's side and whispered, "Lieutenant Loya, you'd better come and see for yourself."

"Um."

Loya followed Finbuddy to the back of the pirate base, and took a deep breath upon seeing the scene before him.

In the cramped wooden hut, which resembled a prison, more than a dozen women were imprisoned, each of them naked and extremely thin.

Several human skins were hanging outside the wooden house.

Upon seeing Loya and Fombardy, the women huddled together in fear, seemingly terrified of being chosen by Loya.

"Take them back."

"yes!"

Loya turned and returned to the shore.

The pirates knelt in a row, and Captain Ramos was also brought back by Iska; his face, covered in scabs, was repulsive.

According to custom, these pirates would be escorted back to the branch and then sent to the East China Sea court for trial and sentencing.

Loya coldly scanned the area.

"Thumbs up."

"second lieutenant!"

Loya pointed at Ramus and said calmly, "Skin him alive for me. Can you do that?"

"no problem!"

Zang Gao adjusted the brim of his hat.

Having been a seasoned pirate, he was used to similar tragic scenes. The more incompetent and low-level the pirates, the more they enjoyed torturing civilians.

Pirates also have different levels of skill.

"The rest of the pirates are all sentenced to death by hanging!"

"yes!"

Loya turned and returned to the warship, but Iska caught up with him: "Lieutenant Loya, what you did was against regulations. Criminals should be handed over to the court for trial!"

"Hey, Lieutenant Iska."

Loya turned to Iska, his smile unusually dangerous: "On my warship, my words are law, understand?"

"."

Iska's breath hitched.

She suspected that if she objected, she might be thrown into the sea to be fed to the fish; the man's eyes held just that kind of dangerous signal.

Fortunately, Loya gave her a way out.

"We are an emergency patrol team, responsible for protecting civilians. Wasting time escorting pirates will only cause more innocent people to be harmed!"

"Therefore, I have determined that for those unforgivable and evil pirates, execution is the most reasonable course of action!"

Loya stared at the girl.

"Understood, Lieutenant Iska?"

"clear!"

"Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

"clear!!!"

Iska responded at the top of her lungs, her cheeks flushed red.

"Ah ...

The screams of pirates came from behind.

Iska hesitated for a moment, then dropped her earlier skepticism and asked in a low voice, "Lieutenant Loya, what's the point of using vigilante justice against pirates?"

"I like."

"what?"

I said I like it.

Loya patted the girl on the shoulder, leaving her with a meaningful look.

As a superior, who doesn't have a temper? If someone makes him unhappy, he'll definitely retaliate tenfold or a hundredfold.

As for the rules, who made them? He's so eager to stand out, just so he can break the rules and even become the one who made them!

Half an hour later, the warship set sail.

In the bay behind, dozens of pirate corpses were hanging. The captain, Ramus, was not quite dead yet; his eyes rolled around on his face, which had lost its skin.

Warship, operations conference room.

The location of the unnamed island is marked with an X.

Their mission this time was not a aimless voyage, but a search for pirates along a fixed route.

There are countless islands in the sea, most of which are uninhabited and uninhabitable. Pirates usually hide their strongholds on these uninhabited islands.

Searching along uninhabited islands, receiving distress signals from nearby locations, and gathering pirate intelligence from two branches kept Loya incredibly busy.

However, the efficiency is very low.

Intelligence is time-sensitive; by the time they arrive at the plundered island, the pirates will most likely have already escaped.

After working for more than half a month, they only managed to eliminate three pirate crews, and the total bounty of all of them did not exceed 2000 million Berries.

We need to find a way to improve efficiency!

"Lieutenant Loya, our supplies are almost gone."

"Um."

Loya pondered for a moment, then pointed to the Organ Islands, which were only half a day's voyage from the warship, and had an idea in mind.

"Let's head to Orange Town for supplies!"

"yes!"
