I joined the group chat as Aizen in the Ninja World

Skirt-lifting maniac: It’s because she’s my best friend that I want her to stop. Sister Xiaonan treats us well, how could we do such a treacherous thing?

Lazy Little Kitten: I see. Even if you want to do it, you have to do it secretly, right?

Upskirt Maniac: Yes!

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Hehe.

Skirt-lifting maniac: I made a typo, I said it wrong!

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Too late!

Lazy Kitten: Hahahaha, Sister Xiaonan is furious! These girls are really born to be rebellious!

Fairy Chi Lian: You won’t rebel?

Lazy Kitten: I'm not a girl, I'm a kitten. Who could be mad at a rebellious kitten?

The villain from Soul Society: We were having a great time chatting, but I'm late.

Hatchet Girl: Yeah, I didn't see the whole process of Ali-chan from rebelling to running away in disgrace. Tsk tsk, she got the short end of the stick.

The villain in Soul Society: How dare Ali-chan, with her small body, rebel?

Skirt-lifting maniac: Not only does she want to rebel, she might also want to challenge Sister Xiaonan's position as the head of the family! This woman is so scary!

Lazy Little Kitten: Ali-chan is so thankful to have a good friend like you.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Hey hey.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Stop making trouble, I have some serious business to do now.

Closing the chat group interface, Xiaonan looked at Sarah who was walking towards him. "Have you thought about it, Madam Boss?" This tavern was Sarah's business, so there was nothing wrong with calling her Madam Boss.

"I want to know, who are your other accomplices?" Sarah took a breath and asked softly.

She was able to make such a gesture, which clearly showed that she was planning to cooperate with the other party. She also felt that the other party should have enough strength, and the other party's confident eyes did not seem fake.

"Do you know Trist and Graves?" Xiaonan blinked.

"The two of them?" Sarah's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "Are you kidding me?"

Sarah was naturally familiar with the names of these two people, and precisely because she knew them, she found it funny.

After all, these two were notoriously unreliable and fast runners, with nothing to offer besides maxing out their sneaky skills. Letting them deal with Gangplank?

"Do you think I'm joking?" Xiaonan's expression remained unchanged, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

Bang.

Just as she finished speaking, a dozen tall and strong men pushed open the door of the tavern. The leader was a one-eyed man wearing a sailor hat.

His eyes swept around gloomily, finally settling on Xiaonan. "You, come with me."

"Where are you taking her?" Sarah frowned and stood up.

She knew the burly man. His name was Orric. He was one of the lesser leaders of Gangplank's pirate band, deeply trusted by the Pirate King. His motive for coming was likely because Gangplank had set his sights on the woman before him, but Sarah feigned ignorance.

She obviously intended to save Xiaonan first, even though this would severely offend the pirate king.

But Sarah was not afraid, she still had some confidence in herself. She had hidden her identity for so many years, developing and expanding her power, all for the purpose of killing the pirate king.

Although her current strength might be inferior to Gangplank's, Sarah felt that she was already close to him. Moreover, it wasn't Gangplank himself who came to arrest her, but his minions.

If Sarah was afraid of even the other party's dogs, she would not be a famous bounty hunter.

"Lord Planck wants to see her." Orrick narrowed his eyes and glanced at Sarah, saying lightly.

"This is my territory." Sarah remained unmoved and slowly stood up. "She is my guest." Her right hand had already reached for the rifle behind her back.

"Relax." But at this moment, Xiaonan calmly pressed her shoulders and said with a smile: "Since the Pirate King wants to find me, I naturally cannot let him down."

"You want to go?" Sarah was stunned, with a surprised expression on her face.

She wondered if this woman was a bit too aggressive. How could she just wander around Gangplank's lair? In the eyes of the people of Bilgewater, that place was even more dangerous than a den of dragons and tigers. At least if you walked into a den of dragons and tigers, you might still be able to get out.

"Yes, after all, I am very interested in the Pirate King." Xiaonan said with a smile.

"You..." Sarah took a breath, and she saw the confidence in Xiaonan's eyes again.

Sure enough, this woman came prepared?

Sarah felt that this woman was no brainless fool; she must have some hidden agenda. It was even possible that she had already ambushed powerful assassins around Gangplank.

But is that kind of killer really useful to Gangplank?

Sarah had a question mark in her mind, but decided to take a chance. "Okay, I'll go with you!"

968 Raising a Tiger to Cause Trouble

Bay of Bones.

This is one of the largest outlets to the sea in Bilgewater and a naturally formed mountain stream.

The Bay of Bones isn't actually the original name of this stream; it was originally called Moon Bay. As the name suggests, this stream is where Bilgewater can see the most beautiful moonlight.

Legend has it that Moon Bay was the first place the Moon Goddess from Mount Targon set foot upon her descent. Hundreds of years ago, when Bilgewater was still part of Shurima, it was a romantic haven for lovers.

But now, this romantic place has become a veritable uncanny valley.

Near the strait, a series of upright pillars stood in the middle of the mountain stream. Pale white skeletons were hooked to the pillars with ropes. Dozens of crows circled the two pillars at the rear, slicing away at two black-robed figures who were still alive, their flesh being plucked away bit by bit by the crows.

This is undoubtedly a cruel punishment that makes people want to die but cannot.

However, aboard the massive pirate ship in the middle of the strait, Gangplank leisurely admired the brutal spectacle, a creepy smile on his face. "Not bad, really good! These two are truly talented! As if they were the secret guards of Noxus, they haven't even uttered a word at this point!"

"The boss is still the best!" A burly man in a sailor's cap, sitting right beside him, flattered him, "He figured out the identities of those two secret guards right away!"

"Yeah, it's incredible!"

"The boss is the boss!"

There were waves of agreement from the audience, and Planck's smile deepened.

"Boss, I'm afraid Noxus won't let us go." A thin man standing to Gangplank's right said worriedly, "They've lost so many men, there's no way they'll let us go."

"So what?" Gangplank said nonchalantly, taking a bite of the pear in his hand. "Why would I be afraid of them?"

"Boss, you're incredibly powerful, so you're not afraid." The lean man knew the Pirate King's character and took a breath. "But Noxus is no pushover either. They're sure to make some moves."

"Nonsense, of course I know!" Planck sneered and stood up.

He was the King of Bilgewater, so he was no idiot. Noxus, as the overlord of the East, was certainly no good.

But Planck was not very worried about these petty thieving secret guards. What he was really afraid of was not the secret guards, but the Black Rose.

It was a female-led organization in Noxus, and its leader, Leblanc, was said to have existed for millennia. If the Black Rose targeted him, a pirate king from a remote village would probably find it difficult to resist.

But Gangplank wasn't panicking. At least he couldn't show any panic in front of his subordinates. And even if Black Rose came knocking on his door, Gangplank wasn't without a trump card.

"These scum are just pawns, the real big fish are still to come!" Planck said, clapping his hands lightly.

Two tightly bound men were brought up. They were Graves and Drizzt.

"Don't you have anything to say about the bait thrown by you two big fish?" Looking at the two people in front of him, Planck grinned with yellow teeth.

"I do have something to say." Graves raised his head and said seriously, "Can you guys tie me up a little loosely? I'm about to vomit up my last meal!"

Snapped.

Just as he finished speaking, the pirate next to him punched him in the face, and a big bump suddenly appeared on the right side of Graves' cheek.

"We should have said everything we needed to say, Lord Gangplank." Drizzt took a breath after taking a look at his friend's miserable state. "We were only asked to do this; we didn't come here to cause you any trouble."

"You said it was a woman investigating me, right?" Gangplank toyed with the rifle in his hand, his expression amused. "A woman with a big bag of gold, and she's also very beautiful?"

"Damn it, I've told you several times!" Graves was obviously dissatisfied with his asking even though he knew the answer, and then he was hit hard again.

"A woman like this looks like a fat sheep." Plank stroked his beard thoughtfully and said calmly, "But you two losers are offending me over a fat sheep?"

"We are just doing it for money, sir." Trist's tone still seemed calm.

"Tell me who she is." Planck didn't believe this notorious old liar and put his rifle to his head. "I don't believe you haven't checked her out!"

"I don't know." Trist was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not lying to you, I really don't know." As he spoke, his fingers behind his back flipped lightly, and a blue card was pinched in his palm.

"Really?" Gangplank put away his rifle and remained noncommittal. "Then you're worthless. Drag them down to feed the crows."

"Let me go!" Graves didn't beg for mercy at this time, but shouted: "I don't want to feed the crows, I want to feed the fish!"

Bang bang bang.

The sound of punches and kicks rang out, causing Drizzt's mouth to twitch. This idiot, I really shouldn't have brought him along.

"Boss, the woman is here." At that moment, the guard at the entrance to the Bay of Bones came running over to report. "And she brought Sarah with her."

"Sarah?" Plank was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed. "How dare that woman come here?"

The bounty hunter Sarah was also a well-known figure in Bilgewater. Rumor had it that as long as the money was right, she would take any job, including assassinating the Pirate King.

Indeed, that girl holding two guns had indeed stood before him. Ultimately, she had escaped death at the hands of this pirate king.

Afterwards, Plank did not bring people to "capture Sarah". Instead, he admired this woman and allowed her to develop freely.

After all, Gangplank had no rivals in Bilgewater. He wanted to see how far this woman could grow, so he chose to "raise a tiger to harm her."

969 Noxus's Plan

of course.

Even if it meant raising a tiger to harm him, Gangplank was secretly monitoring Sarah's growth. He knew her strength and power, if not exactly, but he had a general idea of it.

He knew very well that with his opponent's current strength, he would never be able to fight him head-on. But he had chosen to come to him. Was it because he relied on that mysterious woman?

Sarah was usually very cautious, but now she was acting so uncharacteristically. It was obvious that the woman was quite capable.

Thinking of this, Planck's eyes gradually became cautious.

Just as he was thinking about it, bursts of booming cannon fire were heard from the sea level a hundred miles away.

A huge black ship sailed through the wind and waves, and the cannons on the bow burst out strong flames, venting towards the pirate ship not far away.

Bang.

The pirate ship's hull was hit directly and began to sink rapidly, visibly.

"What a powerful force!" A rather alluring voice echoed from within the cabin, revealing a hint of laziness. "No wonder that important figure in Black Castle is so anxious."

The voice belonged to a young woman with long black hair, wearing a luxurious lace dress. Her skin was exceptionally fair, like mutton-fat jade. Her cheeks were exquisite, and her peach-shaped eyes captivated the heart.

However, the cloaked man sitting next to the woman showed no admiration for the beauty, his voice as cold as a knife. "You're so high-profile, aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"

"My goal is to alert the enemy." The beauty's lips curled slightly, swirling the red wine in her glass. "It's also to demonstrate our Noxian dominance."

"Planck is not an easy weakling to deal with." The cloaked man said lightly.

"Of course I know." The beauty smiled and said, "After all, even the famous secret guards suffered a great loss at his hands."

"Waste has no value in survival." The cloaked man remained unmoved, his tone still cold.

"How chilling, Lord Tyrone." The beauty blinked and smiled, "Comparing your own subordinates to trash will probably hurt those members of the secret guards who admire you."

"I'm just stating the facts, Second Miss." The cloaked man said without changing his expression.

"I don't like being called Second Miss." The beauty raised her eyebrows and said, "Can you call me by my first name?"

"Miss Cassiopeia." The cloaked man was silent for a moment and then spoke again.

"Hmph, I wonder if that idiot from the Draven family has even reached Piltover." The beauty nodded in satisfaction and changed the subject, "I really can't understand why the parliament would allow that idiot to serve as a diplomat."

"He's just a foil." The cloaked man replied calmly, "The real commander is your sister."

"That's even worse." Cassiopena breathed, covering her forehead with a sigh. "She's even more brainless than that idiot. She even has muscles stored in her brain cells."

Her sister, Katarina, the unfortunate blade of Noxus.

In terms of looks, that sister was comparable to me, and she also had red hair, which made her look very attractive. But unfortunately, compared to me, her brain was like a broken string, and she always used violence to solve everything.

While it's true that violence can conquer weak nations, it's not enough to win their hearts and minds. Furthermore, Noxus still has something to ask of Piltover, hoping for cooperation. How can you expect cooperation if you're using violence?

Thinking of this, Cassiopena felt heartbroken.

The power of Hextech gems is clearly immense, as evidenced by this newly constructed battleship. Because it's powered by Hextech gems, its combat power is many times greater than that of ordinary battleships.

Moreover, the energy of Hextech gems can obviously be used not only on warships. In the future, this kind of thing will definitely be an extremely important strategic resource.
