After tying up the unconscious pirates, Ning and Saphandra decided to wait for the ship to get close to their ship before getting off.
"What about the beast that made them invisible?" Ning asked. "Is it gone?"
"Someone here most likely just summoned the beast's abilities rather than the entire beast," Saphandra said.
"Right, I keep forgetting that's even possible. Like how you are using Little Blue's skills," Ning said.
They waited for a while longer and the pirate ship was noticed by the others. After making sure that the pirates were truly unconscious, Ning left giant notes that read 'PIRATES' on the boat and teleported to the far side of their own ship.
There was already commotion in the night as the ship guards had realized they were being attacked by pirates.
So, when they got ready to attack and instead noticed a bunch of people tied up on the deck, they couldn't help but be confused.
