Chapter 471: The Tyrant Pirate Group Joins the Flying Pirates
Unfortunately, trouble finds you even when you're minding your own business.
The Tyrant Pirate Group was not ostentatious in secret, nor did they actively seek trouble.
Their growing reputation was inevitable, as people would always come looking for trouble.
When the trouble was resolved, more and more people learned of their strength.
This time, an Affiliated Pirate Group of the Flying Pirates actively provoked them.
Being low-key did not mean fear, much less retreat.
As the son of Hades, Grado's heart was extremely arrogant, especially on The Great Sea.
Moreover, as the descendants of those Great Pirates who once shook The Great Sea and still do, and as outstanding individuals among the hundreds of thousands of students who were excellent graduates of the Royal Military Academy, their ambition was not low.
Their morale was also high.
Naming the Pirate Crew the Tyrant Pirate Group said it all.
Although they didn't actively provoke others, anyone who dared to find trouble with them was buried in The Great Sea.
This time, Grado still didn't take action.
This Pirate Crew was directly annihilated by several members of the Tyrant Pirate Group, leaving none alive.
As an Affiliated Pirate Group of the Flying Pirates, the obligations between the two sides were mutual.
When necessary, Affiliated Pirate Groups would provide combatant strength to the Flying Pirates, and the Flying Pirates would stand up for them when they were bullied by other Factions.
However, if they actively sought trouble and were then eliminated, it could only be said that they were courting death.
No one would specifically stand up for such a matter.
However, the Captain of this Pirate Crew had a bounty approaching 300 million Beli, ranking high among the many Affiliated Pirate Groups.
This led to the Tyrant Pirate Group catching the attention of the Flying Pirates.
Being able to destroy a Pirate Crew that had been famous in the New World for a long time was enough to show their strength, especially since only a few members were dispatched, and they were very young.
The Captain had never even taken action.
The current Flying Pirates especially favored young Strongmen.
Actively inviting others was not a shameful thing.
Being favored by the Flying Pirates was also an honor for other Factions.
It represented their recognition.
Didn't many members of the Rocks Pirates, which had already developed, also get invited one by one back then?
Charlotte Linlin was like this, and Byrnndi World was also like this.
The Tyrant Pirate Group had long anticipated this and did not refuse the invitation from the Flying Pirates, becoming the twenty-third Fleet Captain of the Flying Pirates.
The invitation from the Flying Pirates only meant having the qualification to become a Fleet Captain.
To truly secure that position, they still needed to gain the recognition of other Crewmates, especially since the Captain was a relatively unknown figure.
Compared to the rumors, some people only believed what they saw.
Without any declaration, the Flying Pirates directly assigned dozens of islands adjacent to the Tyrant Pirate Group's Territory for the Tyrant Pirate Group to guard.
They also sent several thousand Pirates to this Sea Area.
The first thing to do was not to subdue these Pirates, but to deal with those who were unwilling to accept Grado becoming a Fleet Captain.
There were members of the Flying Pirates, as well as other Affiliated Pirate Groups.
There were even some who had worked hard to become Fleet Captains.
Among these Fleet Captains, some were originally members of the Flying Pirates, some came from Affiliated Pirate Groups, and some were directly invited by the Pirate Crew.
The latter were clearly more valued.
Those directly invited started as Fleet Captains, representing strength and potential.
Goenitz and Char were both like this, and they also showcased their powerful strength.
There was no shortage of jealous people.
Goenitz, at least, had already made a name for himself in the Sky Arena, and many within the Flying Pirates knew his strength.
"Godspeed" Char and "Heavenly Path" Pain also originated from the Sky Arena and had already established Pirate Crews, making a certain reputation for themselves on The Great Sea.
But the Tyrant Pirate Group was just a small Pirate Crew, with a member count not exceeding three hundred.
Their only famous battle record was using an Affiliated Pirate Group of the Flying Pirates as a stepping stone, which was clearly difficult to convince others.
The invitation from the Flying Pirates could, of course, be refused, like Goenitz who delayed for a year or two citing insufficient strength.
After all, unlike Goenitz, the Flying Pirates were not clear about Grado's strength and didn't even know Grado's name before this.
This did not prevent them from judging the Pirate Crew's strength through their battle records.
According to intelligence, only five people were dispatched by the Tyrant Pirate Group to annihilate that Affiliated Pirate Group.
As the Flying Pirates grew stronger, under the elite guidance of the second-in-command, Reinhardt, the Flying Pirates also possessed their own set of management system.
With such an enormous Territory and complex Factions, orderly management was necessary.
But if they accepted the invitation from the Flying Pirates, the news would spread within the Flying Pirates.
Those looking for trouble would come one by one.
Only by truly proving their strength would the Flying Pirates officially announce them as the new Fleet Captain.
If they lost, then it would simply mean they did not currently have the qualification to become a Fleet Captain.
It seemed that the number of Fleet Captains in the Flying Pirates was quite large now, but which one hadn't fought their way out from tens of thousands of Pirates?
Every single one was an outstanding individual among the Pirates of the New World, possessing powerful combat strength.
Some had already reached their peak, while others were still growing rapidly.
Since they were already exposed, there was no need to hide anything.
The Tyrant Pirate Group could just use the Flying Pirates to develop rapidly.
Grado personally took action.
Five Affiliated Pirate Groups of the Flying Pirates were decisively annihilated, including two Great Pirates with bounties exceeding 300 million Beli.
And within the Flying Pirates, several well-known Great Pirates with bounties of several hundred million were also slaughtered by Grado.
Without the slightest bit of holding back, they were utterly destroyed in the scorching magma.
Grado's name as "Tyrant" was completely established, and no one dared to question his position as Fleet Captain.
As for the dead Pirates, who would care?
Even their number multiplied by ten couldn't compare to the importance of Grado alone.
