The other adventure ships in the vicinity, already entangled in battle with sea creatures, suffered heavy losses without any warning.
Before anyone could curse, screams also erupted from the Barbary Pirates' ships:
"Why is the ship moving on its own?"
"It wasn't our gunners who did it."
"Damn it, the ship's alive! Watch out for the ropes!"
The whole ship beneath their feet seemed to come to life, and everything on it began to attack its own crew.
Especially the myriad ropes tied to the masts and spars, which writhed, twisted, and rapidly coiled around the Barbary Pirates and yanked them high into the air.
By the time they were hanging midair, each of them had already gone silent, becoming tragic corpses with broken necks, suspended from masts—a horrifying sight swaying in the wind.
The more these "killer pirate ships" killed, the stronger they became. In an instant, even the Low Sequence Transcendents on board began to face grave danger.
