179. Another salted fish

Charles fiddled with the crystal vase in his hand, staring at the swarm of insects flying chaotically in the thick black smoke. He didn't even know what this was all about.

The sailors tracking Anatasiya and Belisa, who were identified by the Patrolling Army, were all under Chatham. Among them, the two most formidable ones, one named Red-beard Morgan and the other called Poison Bee Jack, each had an Extraordinary Object they claimed to have brought up from a deep-sea treasure. If they had been with Chatham at the time, Charles might not have easily controlled the situation.

With these two Extraordinary Objects, Red-beard Morgan and Poison Bee Jack roamed the seas and had some fame. They were once well-known pirates but now are notorious slave traders.

They were also unlucky. Belisa shot through Poison Bee Jack's Bag of Insects with a single shot, causing him to lose control of the swarm, which backfired on him.
