After being redirected to the position of the Nash family's cargo ship, this last group of the Collins family had fought a battle against such an opponent!
That battle had been challenging for both sides since while the Nash family side had a Spiritual King on board, the Collins' side had cannons capable of destroying that ship...
Because of these factors, a great battle on the seas had occurred, with both sides losing badly. In particular, the losing side, that of the Nash family, had succumbed and had their ship sunken by the opponent's large cannons.
It was complicated to fight without a ship in the middle of the sea when none of those people could fly or had flying spiritual beasts around...
Consequently, the crew members of that ship, well, most of them were not high-level warriors and ended up dying due to enemy attacks.
However, those above level 40 fought against the enemy side, with some even managing to storm that warship!
