Chapter 2048 The Man in the Dark
- Basked in darkness, they stealthily made their way to the mountaintop and arrived at the cave entrance under Winston's lead. It was a perfect hideout, and the pirates would not be able to find them easily even if they entered the island.
- Meanwhile, out at sea, two ships engaged in a fierce battle. The bodyguards that Willow had brought along this time were well-versed in naval combat, and they were trained sailors as well. With their skills, they quickly led the pirate ship toward the outer seas. Little did they know, five silhouettes floated in the dark ocean—a part of the pirates' plan.
- They speculated that the crew had already taken refuge on the island, and if they managed to capture them, they could force the ship to lower their defenses. Moreover, kidnapping was their specialty. And yet, they had no idea that someone else was awaiting them on the island.
