章 2985: Hunting Net

"Dispute? Our star pirate group boasts over 1,000 members. While we may not match the elite status of your group, we are far from weak. My strength rivals Pang Li's. So what if there's a conflict between us? Do you think I fear your leader?

"Fu Mi, you're clever. You must understand why so many star pirates have gathered here. If Pang Li refuses to relinquish the Sacred Body Stone and share its benefits, it's not a matter of whether he wants conflict, but whether we'll allow him to leave!

"I admire your skills. Once your group disperses, I'll extend an invitation to join ours. But ensure you bring Pang Li here. These people haven't assembled for naught. If he doesn't show, you'll need to explain. You know firsthand the difficulty of appeasing them."

Meng Kuo's words trailed off as a sharp voice interjected from the side.
