They all call me Great Master

Sakiri was using "Abdel's Pyrokinesis"!

And it was even at level 4 "Abdel's Pyrokinesis"!

Arthur, who also possessed level 4 "Abdel's Pyrokinesis," easily confirmed this with the Entry-level "Storm" perception of his General Puppet.

In fact, when the other party's First Mate, that 'Bluebeard,' ignited the flames, Arthur had already speculated.

However, the cautious Arthur did not take it lightly because he "knew the enemy and knew himself."

He liked to keep cards hidden.

What about Sakiri, known as the "Devil of Dokiman Island"?

Probability would suggest he would also have one or two cards hidden up his sleeve, right?

Otherwise...

He couldn't possibly have survived this far just on luck, could he?

As Arthur thought this, facing the incoming blaze, he simply raised his hand—

The Storm arose again!

This time, the wreck of four ships was completely obliterated.

Wood chips and twisted metal, like shields, protected one of Arthur's vests, 'Horton.'

Of course, most importantly, the gold coins, gold bricks, and so on from the four ships all disappeared without a trace in the "Storm."

They were all absorbed by 'Horton,' replenishing his energy.

The power of the General Puppet was undoubtedly impressive.

The Entry-level "Storm" ability was indeed a unique existence under Arthur's command.

Even during regular combat, Arthur was slightly inferior.

But the consumption was also immense.

Just now, the seemingly effortless battle had consumed one-third of the General Puppet's energy, and a full recharge required 6000 Gold Coins or continuous bathing in moonlight for 60 days.

That meant, the battle just now had already cost Arthur 2000 Gold Coins.

On a normal day, Arthur would probably have felt quite distressed for a while.

But now it was different!

It's not that under normal conditions, the General Puppet's efficiency in replenishing energy through food, sleep, and bathing in moonlight had significantly improved.

But rather...

Gold was not lacking before his eyes!

Would pirates lack gold?

They would!

Their greed makes them perpetually short of gold, forever tirelessly chasing after gold!

But they are only short of gold, not without gold.

Especially for a pirate group with a considerable reputation.

Many pirates' favorite thing to do is to convert the plundered items into gold and store them in the ship's hold until they can't fit anymore, then choose a deserted island to bury it as a contingency fund or retirement fund.

However, it is exactly because of this that the seeds of internal strife are sown.

The reason that the pirate groups near the coast disappear is more than half because of these buried golds.

Because pirates are also salaried.

Simply put, a part of that buried gold, aside from what is due to the captain, most of it belongs to the crew.

But oh, how alluring gold is!

Who wouldn't want to take a bit more?

Thus, it's commonplace among pirates for captains to murder crew members and crew members to murder captains.

This also led to that widely circulated saying—

Betrayal and being betrayed are the destiny of pirates!

However, the "Devil of Dokiman Island" pirate group doesn't need to worry about this.

Because the gold on the ship all belongs to the captain, Sakiri.

The crew members can only receive a miserably tiny bit of salary.

Rebellion?

There have been!

They were all turned into torches by Sakiri.

Moreover, Sakiri also targeted the crew members' families.

So much so that for a long time, no one was willing to join the "Devil of Dokiman Island" pirate group. Ordinary people feared Sakiri's cruelty, and Sakiri's crew feared even more, but with the joining of 'Bluebeard,' this phenomenon changed—It was not just that 'Bluebeard' brought enough men, but also because 'Bluebeard' displayed the power gained from Sakiri.

Such power attracted those madmen of the seas.

No one understood the importance of power better than the pirates.

Thus, when rumors spread, the "Devil of Dokiman Island" Pirate Group gathered ample manpower, and their fleet swiftly expanded to be one of the formidable pirate groups in nearby waters.

Of course, those madmen were turned into mincemeat by the "Storm" of the General Puppet.

The gold that Sakiri always carried with him on the ship also became the energy of the General Puppet.

Arthur felt the abundant energy of the General Puppet and waved his hand again—

This time it wasn't just the shipwreck remains.

Seawater!

The seawater was sucked up by the tornado and poured directly on the Blaze that was about to touch the "Wreckage Ship Shield."

Hiss!

When the Blaze met the seawater, steam immediately rose.

However, the momentum of the Blaze was not hindered and still hit the "Wreckage Ship Shield."

Boom!

The firelight flickered in the steam, and the loud booming sound seemed like the roar of thunder.

Sakiri's roar was deafening—

"Go to hell!"

The exploding fireball split into 9 Flame Arrows that scattered in all directions.

It wasn't that Sakiri didn't want to aim at Horton.

It was the steam that obscured his view, making the Devil of Dokiman Island's captain unable to see where Horton was, forcing the Flame Arrows to shoot randomly.

Simultaneously, another large fireball was "borrowed" from a pirate beside Sakiri and blasted into the steam.

Sakiri's idea was simple—using the high heat of the flame and the airflow from the explosion to disperse the steam and increase the temperature to burn Horton.

The idea itself wasn't wrong.

If, however, Horton, controlled by Arthur, had not left the area, this would have indeed been feasible.

But as soon as the steam spread, Arthur had already maneuvered the General Puppet out of the Abdul's Pyrokinesis attack range using the regime of "Storm."

Much higher up, making use of the General Puppet's vantage point, Arthur watched as Sakiri threw one fireball after another into the fog formed by the steam.

'A ritual focused on recovery?

Or a secret technique?'

Arthur observed Sakiri.

By the time the third fireball was thrown, Sakiri's breathing became rapid, but after taking a few deep breaths, the rapid breathing stabilized, and he could even throw a fourth fireball, although his breathing became rapid again as he threw it, but quickly, after a few breaths, it steadied again.

Immediately, Arthur became interested.

If it's possible to recover physical strength...

Could it also recharge the energy of the General Puppet?

From the fact that activities like eating and sleeping could obviously restore physical strength, it was clear that physical strength was also a form of energy.

Thinking of this, when Arthur saw Sakiri gasping again, he spared no effort, drawing on the gold while vigorously propelling the "Storm"—

Swoosh!

Intense winds whipped up, causing the sea to churn.

The remaining ships in the port of Coconut Island bobbed up and down.

And when a cloud brought in specifically by Arthur arrived, lightning fittingly struck down.

Boom!

Electric sparks flickered, and thunder rumbled loudly!

Some ordinary pirates were already scared by this spectacle.

These people wet their pants as they ran toward the island's shelter.

The captain of the Devil of Dokiman Island Pirate Group, Sakiri, also changed his complexion.

Sakiri hadn't expected that effeminate Horton to be so strong.

It wasn't just the wind; it was a storm!

Seeing that cloud and the thunder, the captain of the Devil of Dokiman Island Pirate Group immediately thought of the Earl of South Los and, thinking of the Earl, he did not hesitate and turned to run.

He too needed to enter the shelter.

Only there could he avoid the thunder.

And just as the captain turned to flee, 11 invisible Wind Arrows that had been concealed in the wind for a long time and were charged up shot out abruptly—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Puh! Puh! Puh!
