CHAPTER 1173: CHAPTER 1171: BLACK SKULL

The female pirate leader played with the small firearm in her hand as if she were performing a magic trick. She swayed her curvaceous body and slowly walked past everyone, seemingly inspecting her prey.

The sound of her boots clicking on the deck echoed with a steady rhythm.

At that moment, Wang Dadong and Jun Tianzui’s expressions slightly changed, not because the female pirate leader was beautiful, but because of the vintage firearm in her hand.

They had seen this thing during their previous missions. It could only load one bullet, but its power was comparable to a Barrett sniper rifle.

If struck, even a Sacred Body would be pierced through.

Internationally, this firearm that can only fire once yet has immense power had been given a very fitting name: Hand Cannon.

As the name suggests, a large cannon in the palm of one’s hand, indicating its formidable power.

The Hand Cannon is very small and easy to conceal. If used suddenly in a confrontation, it could completely annihilate an opponent several levels stronger.

It’s quite similar to the hidden weapons in martial arts movies.

Due to its tremendous power, the recoil when fired is extremely strong. Not only is the gun body made of a very rare alloy, but the shooter must also have at least a Peak of Mortal Realm Cultivation.

Otherwise, their hand would be shattered.

This means that the female pirate leader is at least a Peak of Mortal Realm master, possibly even stronger.

It seems that capturing thieves by taking down their leader won’t be easy. Even the Undying Heavenly King might struggle and could be seriously injured by the Hand Cannon.

"Take them away," the female pirate leader said calmly after scanning everyone.

Everyone was escorted onto the ship and locked in an iron cage, surrounded by pirates armed with heavy weapons, leaving no chance of escape.

The pirate ship slowly set sail, dragging the Queen behind, heading to an unknown destination.

Most of the people in the group were women, and their faces were ashen. They were just a group of urban white-collar workers unaccustomed to such a scene.

Movies about pirates often showed how brutal they were, robbing valuables and sometimes taking lives. Women, in particular, faced inhumane treatment.

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

After all, life on the island is usually dull, and these pirates have no scruples. To them, women are a precious asset.

Somali Pirates have grown immensely, almost forming a complete miniature society within certain areas of Somali Waters.

They even have shops, hospitals, casinos, and more.

In the world of pirates, women are often used as currency to exchange for other goods.

In some sense, women are even more valuable than cash.

After all, cash isn’t very useful in this place, whereas women are different.

They are something every man needs.

After sailing for more than a day, the group felt the ship stop shaking, indicating they might have docked.

A few minutes later, a pirate announced that they would be taken ashore.

The group was brought onto an island.

The armed presence on the island was even stronger, comparable to a small military force.

Apart from Wang Dadong’s group, many others had suffered the same fate of being captured by pirates.

Numerous merchant ships were docked at the port, all taken by pirates, who were busy unloading cargo from them.

Of course, the pirates didn’t do it themselves but held guns to the captives, forcing them to work. Any resistance would result in being shot dead.

Here, the law seems nonexistent; the only rule is martial force.

Women were even more tragic, marked with clear values based on their looks and figures as soon as they landed. Pirates could trade gold or other items for them.

On the island, women were treated as commodities.

A black skull flag hung at the port, emblazoned with the words Black Skull.

This likely represented the pirate faction’s name.

The port’s bustling activity was incredible; one dared not imagine the number of pirates on this island, likening it to a bustling city.

"Hayinde, how did you get so many beautiful girls? Sell them to me, and I’ll let you make a fortune," said a pirate selling women, his eyes lighting up when he saw Wang Dadong’s group as he hurried to the pirate leader who captured them.

"Get lost, these people were personally captured by the Chief and will be handled by them," Hayinde retorted angrily.

"Oh, the Chief captured them? What a pity," the man regretted, his gaze sweeping over the women, swallowing repeatedly, having not seen such beautiful women in a long time.

Each of these women was a treasure. If he could get one, he wouldn’t sell her immediately, but enjoy her for a while before renting her out, undoubtedly making a lot of gold.

Here, women could be sold or rented out, as not all pirates could afford them.

Especially beautiful women, who were outrageously priced.

A woman of Lin Shiyan’s level might sell for several kilograms of gold, affordable only to those of high standing on the island.

However, renting one was much cheaper.

A few hundred grams of gold were enough to have a turn.

Clearly, the island had formed its own system, akin to a small country.

The two conversed in the local language, which the women couldn’t understand, but they could guess what was being discussed.

The pirates were treating women as trade goods!

All the women bore expressions of anger yet felt helpless.

"Heh heh, you know the Chief only likes men. If I get a chance, I’ll definitely come to you," Hayinde grinned slyly to the man.

"It’s settled then!" Upon hearing Hayinde’s words, the man beamed with excitement. If Hayinde hadn’t said these women were taken by the Chief, he might have bought one to enjoy himself right now.

"Sorry, this is my fault," Lin Shiyan said with guilt. If she hadn’t led them out to sea, they wouldn’t have been captured by pirates.
