At this moment, Skull Bay was in chaos.
The surviving Skull Bay guards frantically reported Sabrino's death.
This news, like a bombshell, instantly sent shockwaves through Skull Bay.
They found it hard to believe that a fleet of seven ships, equipped with a large number of precious Sea Stone bullets and cannonballs, had been defeated by Red Hawk.
Moreover, Red Hawk had threatened not to spare Skull Bay.
When the news spread, the entire Skull Bay seemed like a lit powder keg, exploding into an uproar.
People's eyes widened, their faces filled with shock and fear, unable to comprehend Red Hawk's terrifying strength.
On the streets of Skull Bay, the descendants and families of pirates also received intelligence that Red Hawk was about to attack.
Their faces were filled with panic.
"What should we do? Will Red Hawk Andy really come to kill us?" A middle-aged man, his brows tightly furrowed, his face full of anxiety, said with a trembling voice.
"He definitely will! King Sabrino died by his hand, so why would he care about us small fries!" An old man next to him sighed, his cloudy eyes filled with fear.
"Why don't we run away quickly? Staying here is a dead end!" A young woman, her eyes red, cried out, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Where can we run to? In the entire West Blue, who doesn't know Red Hawk's name? Where can we hide?" A burly man shook his head helplessly, his face filled with despair.
——
In the Skull Bay palace, the ministers were also in a complete mess.
They sat together, arguing back and forth, but no one could come up with an effective countermeasure.
"We must immediately organize the army to resist! We cannot just sit here and wait to die!" A general suddenly stood up, slamming his hands on the table, and shouted loudly.
"Resist? Can our soldiers be a match for Red Hawk Andy? King Sabrino with seven warships wasn't his match, what do we have to resist with?" A guard general retorted, a hint of tremor in his voice.
"Then let's surrender, maybe we can still save our lives that way." Another minister suggested softly, his voice full of helplessness.
"Surrender? Do you think Red Hawk Andy will spare us? Since he said he would destroy Skull Bay, he will definitely show no mercy!" The general glared furiously at the minister who suggested surrender, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.
Just as the ministers were arguing fiercely, a soldier ran in frantically.
"Rep... report! Red Hawk Andy has appeared outside the harbor and is sailing towards us!" The soldier's voice was filled with fear, and his body trembled incessantly.
Hearing this news, the ministers' faces instantly turned pale, and the once noisy council hall immediately fell silent, the air filled with a suffocating stillness.
"It's over, everything is over..." A minister slumped into his chair, muttering to himself, his eyes filled with despair.
His body leaned limply against the back of the chair, as if he had lost all his strength.
——
However.
Apart from the ministers, generals, and pirate families and descendants in the palace, most of Skull Bay was made up of commoners.
Ever since Duke (Bones) ruled here and made Skull Bay a World Government affiliated nation, they had been subjected to exploitation every day.
To become a World Government affiliated nation, one must first pay exorbitant Heavenly Gold, which is protection money, and this money, of course, comes from the commoners.
Moreover, for every 10,000 Berries of Heavenly Gold paid, they had to pay 30,000 Berries, so they had lived a very hard life all these years.
Now, upon hearing the news that Red Hawk was about to arrive at Skull Bay, they showed no fear at all, but rather a faint anticipation.
They hoped that Red Hawk would eliminate all those pirates.
At this moment, Andy, riding his motorboat, sped across the sea like a black lightning bolt.
His eyes were cold and firm, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him.
The sea breeze rustled his hair, as if it were the prelude to the slaughter he was about to unleash.
As the motorboat gradually approached the harbor, the people on the shore saw Andy's figure and, instead of running, they gathered directly.
"Skull Bay, I'm here." His voice was deep and cold, like the whispering of a demon from the netherworld, echoing over the harbor.
"It's Red Hawk Andy! He's really here!" Someone in the crowd shouted, a hint of tension in their voice.
"Red Hawk, please save us!" A scrawny young man, his eyes full of anticipation, shouted loudly.
"Save us!" People echoed one after another, their voices rising and falling.
"Wuwuwu... Red Hawk, please, you must eliminate those hateful pirates!" An old woman, tears in her eyes, pleaded.
"Red Hawk..."
The cries and shouts of the commoners rose and fell, and the entire Skull Bay plunged into chaos.
Looking at these sallow, bloodless commoners at the harbor, Andy was instantly bewildered.
What was going on?
"Hey!"
"Do you want to die? I'm a great pirate with a bounty of 110 million Berries!"
"You actually want a pirate to save you, this is an insult to me!" Andy roared at his surroundings.
At this moment, an old man with a hunched figure and white beard, supported by a little girl of about seven or eight years old, walked out unsteadily.
"Red Hawk."
"Please, save us, we really can't go on living."
"Duke (Bones) and his people are simply beasts; if they continue to rule here, we would rather die by your hand." The old man's cloudy eyes were filled with tears of hatred.
"Yes, Red Hawk, please save us!"
"Red Hawk, we really can't go on living..."
"Wuwuwu..."
More and more people gathered around, crying and shouting, hoping that Andy would eliminate Duke (Bones) and his group, so they could live.
Although Andy had the reputation of West Sea's Ultimate Evil, now, they had no other choice; for so many years, only Andy had been able to penetrate Skull Bay!
Now Andy was their only chance!
This was the first time Andy had encountered such a scene, and he felt a headache coming on. Should he really kill them to set them free?
That's impossible!
"Bastards!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Now Duke (Bones) has been eliminated by me, and most of his adopted sons and daughters are dead, leaving only cripples!"
"You have so many people, why don't you do it yourselves!"
"With so many of you, a single spit from each of you could drown them!"
"Don't bother me!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill all of you!" Andy roared angrily at his surroundings.
Before he had even finished speaking, he left the harbor at an incredibly fast speed and rushed towards the palace!
...
The people around the harbor were somewhat bewildered by Andy's outburst, standing dazedly in place.
Only after Andy's figure had completely disappeared did they slowly come back to their senses.
"What Red Hawk said... seems to make sense..." A young man muttered softly, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"We can do it ourselves too..." Another person echoed, a hint of excitement in their voice.
"That's right!"
"We can also do it! Now that even Sabrino is dead, they definitely won't be our match!" Someone in the crowd shouted excitedly, their eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry and follow Red Hawk!"
"Charge!"
"Follow Red Hawk!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, all the commoners seemed to have their inner flames ignited, picking up various tools as weapons and roaring as they charged towards the Skull Bay palace.
Footsteps and shouts intertwined, forming a powerful force that swept towards the palace.
