章節 174: Devon, The Pirate Lord

The two pirates locked in a heated duel were a study in contrasts. One, adorned in dark, serpent-engraved armor, looked menacing with his unkempt beard and raven-black hair. This was Captain Raldrik, known for his ruthlessness and fierce loyalty to the Dark Serpent Pirates. The other, in more practical leather armor with short, golden hair, was Captain Joren, a fiery and headstrong rival.

Captain Raldrik's voice carried a dangerous edge as he accused Joren, "I know you took it, Joren. A crate of my finest rum disappeared from my ship. You have something to do with it."

Joren's face contorted in anger. "I've told you, Raldrik. I had nothing to do with your missing rum. I've got my own business to attend to."

Raldrik scoffed, not buying Joren's protestations. "Old man!" he called out, summoning a weathered pirate who stood nearby. "Tell Captain Joren here what you saw last night."
