Chapter 2937: Duel

On the pier of Bloodhoof Island, the place was already empty. The West Sea King had not set any traps; instead, he had adopted a posture of having waited for a long time.

In the water, the deck of the *Doom* unfolded. Su Xiao walked along these planks onto the pier. Behind the pier was the entrance to Bloodhoof Island, where several skeletons were still nailed to the giant rocks on both sides of the entrance.

Seawater dripped down from the tips of Su Xiao's hair. He lifted his feet to move forward, while Cursed Ones rushed past him from both his left and right sides.

After landing on the island, Su Xiao discovered that the buildings within the port had all been destroyed. The West Sea King had been forced into a desperate situation with no retreat left.

Most of the West Sea King's industries were gone, yet his elite pirates remained. This was somewhat strange; logically speaking, more than half of the pirates under the West Sea King should have defected. That was just how pirates were.

Judging from the current situation, those elite pirates were clearly prepared to fight to the death alongside their side. What had given them this motivation?

After passing through a large area of ruins, Su Xiao arrived at a field of flowers. Everywhere were *Manmi* flowers. After these flowers bloomed, they resembled foxtail grass, with pale white flower spikes.

*Manmi* flowers had a powerful analgesic effect and high addictiveness, with no obvious hallucinogenic effects. Within 1 to 2 hours after eating them, one would completely lose the sense of pain.

In front of the flower field, the West Sea King sat on a wide wooden chair. Standing to his left, right, and behind him were several hundred pirates—the number was over 950—all of whom were elite pirates.

A hundred meters apart, pairs of eyes stared at Su Xiao. No one shouted; they just watched him coldly.

"I have... had enough. What kind of monster are you, anyway?"

The West Sea King spoke. He had been stunned by the beating. Under normal circumstances, fights between pirates weren't this ruthless; they usually went straight to the point, killing the opponent first and then seizing all the industries under the opponent's name.

But this time, Su Xiao had first taken a knife to the West Sea King's industries. After having the income channel of Magic Sea gold coins, Su Xiao didn't care about these industries at all. To him, they were meaningless; striking the enemy's morale was what was important.

The West Sea King lowered his eyelids. A hound crouched beside his leg. This hound had a sturdy build and wrinkled skin; its size was a circle larger than Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth.

"Xiang Bubu, you kill it in a moment."

Baha spoke with a wicked grin.

"Woof?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at the fierce dog opposite. If it were a 1v1 head-on confrontation, it felt that the silly fool opposite could finish it off in 20 seconds at most, and it would be finished off quite thoroughly.

"Woof!"

Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was panicking inside, its aura could not lose. That look clearly said: 'Silly fool, come and die.'

The fierce dog opposite looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and after a moment, it lost interest. Xiang Bubu had been looked down upon.

"Slaughter them."

The West Sea King pointed forward with one hand, and all the elite pirates around him took large strides forward.

"Kill them all."

As soon as Su Xiao's voice fell, a flock of crows soared into the sky from where the *Doom* was located and began to circle overhead.

Caw, caw, caw.

350,000 Black Curse Crows formed a huge vortex in the sky. The power of the curse descended, beginning to suppress the enemy's vitality recovery.

【Notification: You have suffered the 'Sacrificial Luck' effect. Your Luck attribute has been reduced to -12 points (this is a constant debuff). This effect will be lifted after leaving the designated range.】

【Notification: The enemy leader-level unit has activated the 'Sea Battle Encouragement' effect. All enemy units will receive a buff: Strength, Agility, and Stamina real attributes +12 points, Luck attribute +8 points, and HP increased by 4600 points.】

【Notification: When the enemy's morale exceeds 85 points, all enemy units have a probability of awakening 'Sea Hatred' when attacking, causing the attacked unit's body energy to stagnate, thereby causing a 0.5 to 1.2-second immobilization effect.】

The West Sea King, a hundred meters away, was not to be outdone. A quaint ring on his index finger was emitting a faint light.

"Trample these scumbags into mush!"

A thin and stern-looking pirate drew the sailor's knife at his waist and charged forward with large strides.

Amansi stepped forward to meet him. Its rapier seemed to be burning with gray flames, looking somewhat illusory.

Clang!

The sailor's knife and the rapier slashed against each other. The surrounding *Manmi* flowers splattered, and an impact spread out.

Without too much provocation or cursing, the chaotic battle unfolded in a short time. Roars and impacts spread, and pits appeared on the ground.

In the first dozen seconds of the chaotic battle, the Cursed Ones and the elite pirates were still fighting on the flower field, but before long, both sides discovered that this was a terrible decision. This was not on a ship; there was no need for restraint.

Bang!

A bald pirate flew backward. The Cursed One that blasted him away chased after him with large strides. In this Cursed One's hand was a very thick iron chain, with a ship anchor attached to the end.

Not far away, blood splattered. The Hangman, Wo, had a ferocious grin on his face. His fingertips were covered in the enemy's skin and flesh; this was torn off by his grip strength.

"Continue."

The Hangman, Wo, moved his neck. In front of him was a female pirate with several bloodstains on her abdomen.

With a bang, a gunshot came from diagonally behind the Hangman, Wo. He didn't pay any attention to it.

Clang, clang.

After two consecutive crisp sounds, a round bullet cast from black metal ricocheted twice in succession. It first hit a pirate's sword, then flew under a pirate's crotch in an extremely ingenious way, hitting the side of a large axe that had been chopped onto the ground, completing the second ricochet.

This bullet headed straight for the back of the Hangman, Wo's head. The Hangman tilted his head to dodge it. How could such an attack possibly hurt him?

The bullet flew past the Hangman, Wo's ear. Almost at the same time, the female pirate opposite him rushed over. The female pirate also noticed this bullet, and she dodged it after a misstep.

As luck would have it, more than ten meters behind the female pirate, a pirate holding a giant hammer swung it horizontally. He didn't hit the Cursed One, but he did hit the bullet. The bullet released an air blast and turned into an afterimage.

Puchi.

The bullet sank into the Hangman, Wo's shoulder. He didn't quite understand why this bullet kept flying near him.

Similar scenes occasionally appeared in the surrounding battle groups. Their side's Luck attribute was -12 points, plus the enemy's Luck attribute was +8 points, leading to a more obvious difference in fortune.

One point that could not be ignored was that the Cursed Ones' comprehensive combat power was stronger than the elite pirates under the West Sea King. Moreover, their side's trump card had not yet been revealed.

The Hangman, Wo, who had taken a bullet, was very unhappy. He no longer paid attention to the female pirate in front and charged toward the rear of his own camp with large strides.

Soon, the Hangman stopped in front of a large iron cage. Mad Dog, Kuike, was sleeping soundly inside. This guy's loyalty was too low, and he didn't care about the situation of the battle at all.

"Mad Dog, time to eat."

The Hangman, Wo, knocked on the iron cage. Kuike sat up, preparing to eat breakfast. Just at this moment, the Hangman suddenly grabbed Kuike's hair, and his sandbag-sized fist hammered Kuike's face repeatedly.

Bang, bang, bang...

After several consecutive punches, Kuike sat in the iron cage, a bit dazed. But in the next instant, he was furious. Gray-black hair grew all over his body, and he began to go berserk—that is, turning into a mad dog.

Kuike's clothes turned into fragments. He turned into a mad dog over five meters long. Pale yellow saliva dripped from the gaps in his full mouth of sharp teeth.

The Hangman stepped back slowly and signaled to the two Cursed Ones above the iron cage that they could open the gate.

With a creak, the rusty iron cage door was pulled up. Mad Dog, Kuike, rushed out and headed straight for the Hangman.

"This is the Captain's order!"

The Hangman shouted, but it was useless; Mad Dog, Kuike, swiped him away with one claw.

"Roar!!"

Mad Dog, Kuike, let out a roar, and layers of air waves spread. He pounced out, his huge dog head tilted to one side, biting a pirate. After biting the enemy, Mad Dog, Kuike's head swung left and right.

After swinging a few times, Mad Dog, Kuike, bit the pirate in his mouth to pieces in a few bites. Accompanied by shrill screams, blood splattered. Finally, Mad Dog, Kuike, swallowed the flesh and blood in his mouth. In just 5 seconds, an elite pirate died miserably.

Mad Dog, Kuike, began to look for the next prey. Soon, he set his sights on the Hangman, Wo, again. An interesting scene appeared: their side was in the advantage, yet the Hangman, Wo, had been getting hammered the whole time.

One by one, elite pirates fell. The West Sea King, who had been sitting steadily, couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and looked at Su Xiao, a hundred meters away.

The West Sea King was hesitating whether to use a certain secret treasure. After using that secret treasure, he and the enemy would enter a certain place. Even if it were him, he would not be able to leave that place in a short time. That was the place of the duel.

"Let's have a duel between captains, Captain of the *Doom*."

With a tinkle, the West Sea King tossed a silver coin. This silver coin flipped in mid-air and flew toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao discovered that the surrounding world had turned black and white, and the only thing with color left was the West Sea King opposite him.

*Banishment* detached from Su Xiao's sleeve, constructed itself into a hiltless rapier, and passed through a pirate's head. That pirate had no reaction at all and was not injured in the slightest.

This was a different dimension. The West Sea King wanted to duel Su Xiao in a different dimension...

"Big Beard, look at this."

Baha tilted its head at the West Sea King. Seeing that Baha also had color, the West Sea King's heart skipped a beat.

"A duel equals a one-on-one. A one-on-one equals... you one-on-one against all of us."

As Baha spoke, it flapped its wings, and a spatial vortex appeared. Amansi, Ghost Shadow, the Hangman, Wo, Tear, Coleridge, Sea Fury, and other Cursed Ones all walked in. They all had color on them.

Baha closed the entrance to the different dimension. It looked at the West Sea King in front and said:

"West Sea King, the way you delivered your head, that's awesome." ===== CHAPTER 2938 =====
