...

Since two hours ago, the system prompts in my mind have not stopped. However, the initial prompts for dozens of kills have now changed to mostly one kills and a small number of multiple kills.

Li Yan knew that Smoker had already landed and started to take action.

After all, during previous naval battles, Li Yan received dozens of reminders each time, and even one prompt numbered nearly a hundred people. These were naturally the results of naval cannons. If one cannon blast blew up a warship, the results would be natural.

It's very big.

Although I have always felt that the system update was a bit useless, the 100 meritorious service for each non-bounty pirate was almost insignificant.

However, this dozen of Creek Pirates made me feel better.

More than 3,000 pirates, that's more than 300,000 merit points if converted, which is simply more than the total merit points that Creek and his several cadres can get together, right?

In short, there is no need to worry about Smoker. The key is...

What's going on with Warner?

It’s been so many days and there’s been no movement at all!

Although the other four branch heads who set off at the same time as him could not be said to have completed the assessment, they each made progress.

But Warner...

After so many days, Li Yan has not seen any system prompts related to Warner.

This guy is obviously the strongest among the five of them in terms of ability and strength. Could it be that he is just so unlucky that he has not been able to meet even a single pirate until now?

Apart from that, Li Yan couldn't think of any other explanation...

East China Sea, the sea area near Koto Island.

"Are you sure that group of pirates are on Koto Island?"

"Yes Colonel!"

"Great, what about the three guys?"

"I didn't find it around, so I think it was thrown away!"

"That's good...that's good. Let's move towards Kotto Island at full speed!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Speaking of which, Warner is feeling very frustrated right now.

In fact, he went to sea and encountered a group of pirates just after leaving the waters of the Eighteenth Branch.

Although the bounty of that pirate group is not much, only the captain is 1 million, but it is still meat, right?

Warner immediately commanded the warship to catch up, but just when he was about to catch up, a small boat appeared out of nowhere. It was the kind of small boat that could only fight with three or five people at most.

This is not the point. The point is that when this pirate discovered the small boat, he immediately turned and rushed over, hoping to capture the three people on the boat so that he could threaten the navy.

However, Warner, who thought that the civilians who had been captured by the pirates were suffering from headaches, only discovered after commanding the warship to approach...

The pirates were all lying on the deck, and the three people on the small boat were checking the stack of bounties on the deck of the pirate ship.

At this time, Warner still didn’t know that those three guys were bounty hunters and that he had been intercepted!

Well, although I am very depressed, there is nothing I can do about it. It is natural for bounty hunters to hunt pirates, right?

After Yu said hello to the other party and told them that if they wanted to redeem the bounty, they could go to the nearest branch of the Eighteenth Branch, he commanded the warship to leave, and the three bounty hunters also drove the pirate ship towards where Warner pointed.

The direction went.

Originally, the matter should have ended here.

But I don’t know why. It was obviously going in the opposite direction. One day later, when Warner discovered a pirate ship again and launched a pursuit, he was intercepted again. The key is that the people who intercepted the pirate ship were still the same three guys yesterday.

As a result, before Warner could say anything, one of the three men, carrying three knives, questioned Warner first.

"Didn't you say that direction is Corona where the 18th branch is? Why didn't we arrive after sailing for a whole day and all night?"

"And you didn't sail in the opposite direction to us yesterday, so why did you encounter us again today? Are you following us?"

When I went there and heard someone say this, Warner felt bad.

I've seen people who go too far, but I've never seen anyone who goes too far!

Hell, I'm following you, but you clearly went to the 18th branch yesterday, how could you show up here again?

"See for yourselves, who is following whom?"

Taking out the chart, pointing to the place where they met yesterday and the location of the 18th branch, and then pointing to the current location, Warner said angrily.

Someone looked at the map, then thought deeply for a long time, and finally said something that made Warner directly break through the defense.

"So...are we lost?"

"Yes, of course it is. Is it possible that it's still us?"

After being speechless for a while, Warner once again told them the direction of Corona Island, and even watched the other party sail out of his sight. After confirming that it did not deviate, he commanded the warship to continue setting off.

But the problem is...

In the next three days, no matter how Warner changes his route, in short...

Every time when encountering pirates and about to catch up, these three guys would always appear out of nowhere, without even knowing that they had strayed off course again.

So, five full days passed, and Warner didn't catch a single pirate, and his spirit was even in a state of semi-collapse.

No, when his subordinates said that there was a pirate group on the island in front of them, Warner's first reaction was to ask, have you found those three guys?

After receiving a positive and definite reply from his men, he cheered up and commanded the warship to go to Kotto Island.

But, just as I was preparing to dock...

"That pirate ship over there...does it look familiar to you?"

"Colonel, it does look familiar, but it doesn't have a pirate flag. I can't remember where I saw it for a while!"

Okay, forget it for now, get ashore before the plague god appears!

"It's the colonel!"

A group of sailors, some with guns and some with knives, looked fierce and vowed to wipe out the group of pirates on the island to vent the resentment they had suffered in the past few days.

But when they found the pirate camp on the island...

But everyone was dumbfounded!

The three bounty hunters who had been pestering them like a nightmare for five days were currently sitting around the campfire, leaning against a huge wild boar.

There were already more than twenty pirates lying on the ground around them.

Well, no wonder the pirate ship without a flag on the shore felt a little familiar just now!

only...

Is this over yet?
