867 Ending

Rumble!

As the ironclads fired one round after another, Blackbeard's forces suddenly greeted cannon fire.

One wooden ship after another exploded under the bombardment. Before the pirates even had a chance to show off their bravery with their boarding battle skills, the cannon fire tore them to pieces and sank them to the bottom of the ocean.

"Scatter!" Blackbeard closed his eyes and issued an order from atop Monster. "Scatter and break out!"

In a split second, the pirate force suddenly scattered and tried to break out in all directions, much like a pack of wolves that had just lost its leader.

Despite knowing that taking this course of action was equivalent to admitting defeat, Blackbeard had no other choice.

After all, if he were to try to stand his ground, all the forces under him could be eradicated.
