"Huh--the storm has finally passed." Mantodia pushed open the door of the house wet and walked in step by step.

"It's not that you are unwilling to recruit more people."

A tall and thin middle-aged woman with an average appearance but excellent figure followed behind her.

"Every time there is something, we have to do it ourselves. Please, we are the captain of the Pirates!"

While complaining, the woman picked up a towel to wipe her neck and her hair that was full of rain.

"Oh, haven't you said it many times? Our pirate group only accepts crew members who like insects or have the ability to worm fruits."

Mantodia answered his wife impatiently, while looking at the ant nest made of transparent glass in front of her with luminous eyes.

This was just customized on an island with glass a few days ago, with two kinds of ferocious ants inside.

His biggest entertainment activity recently is to watch them fight wildly for food when they are feeding them.

Or throw a 'huge' predator into it to cause chaos and massacre, and then watch the predator finally be consumed by swarms of ants and dismembered.

Just like now... he saw him pinch a fat green mantis from the wooden box beside him with his hands, and throw it in with a playful look on his face.

The woman looked at him helplessly and said, "Not to mention the ability of insect fruits, you have too high requirements for liking insects, and few people can stand it."

"Where is it taller, even if you can't completely accept insects, what else can you say you like?" Mantodia's eyes were closely watching the slaughter inside.

The woman covered her face and shook her head and didn't want to speak anymore. She completely accepted insects in her mouth, which meant that she could sit in a box filled with various insects for ten minutes!

Although they are all insects that do not bite very much,... because of this group entrance examination, there are only 76 members on their ship now.

For seven years, they basically recruit people every time they go to an island with people, and they don’t even have a hundred people yet!

The key is that their worm pirate ships are particularly large, and they are the type of large seaship that can carry seven or eight hundred people.

The normal sailing can still be carried out normally, but when they encounter excessively intense climate, they both have to go out to help.

But how can there be so many normal climates on this great route?

"Hey, if you can meet another person with the ability to fight with insect fruits, it is best to be other insects, such as ants, unicorn fairy, etc."

Mantodia looked at the mantis being finally dismembered and dragged into the ant holes on both sides with expectation. What he regretted the most about his wife was that she and he were the same insect species.

"The sea is so big, how can it be..." The woman was about to speak when she heard the sound of rapid footsteps and panic cry outside.

"Captain Mantodia! Deputy Captain Locksany!"

"A warship comes in front of you! Navy warship!"

Hearing this, the faces of the men and women in the house changed, and they knew that the trouble had come to the door...

At the same time, on the warship mentioned by the pirates, Barrett and Konoha team lined up in four rows on the deck, looking at the pirate ship opposite from afar.

"There are two cross-shaped zigzag insect forelimbs on the skeleton, and it should be the pirate group of insects."

Major General Dwight, who had previously hosted the special training camp trials, turned around and smiled at them: "They have been active in the first half of the great route for many years, and do not go to the world or enter the 'new world'.

"Captain Mantodia, with a bounty of 21 million Bailey, an animal-type insect fruit flower mantis form ability."

"Deputy Captain Locksani, the former's wife, offers a bounty of 12 million Bailey, an animal-type insect fruit sword mantis form ability."

"A mantis couple?" Barret nodded indifferently. Although he had never seen the insect fruit before, he had killed several animals.

Previously, he proposed to Lieutenant General Cornell to lead the Konoha team to conduct actual combat tests.

Because he already knew that he was going to the Navy headquarters with Vidal soon, and Lieutenant Benson and his team could practice the three-three tactics.

In fact, none of these teams are recruits, and the fewest of them have participated in the battles twice.

Most people have experienced four or five battles with pirates, some in the world, and some in the ‘park’.

Lieutenant General Cornell agreed, but asked his adjutant Major General Dewit to follow and he had to choose the right opponent.

The choice is not in the hands of Barrett and others, but Major General Dewitt is responsible for screening and decision-making.

"Just let them, the senior pirate group of about 20 million should be considered a choice for you, and according to the intelligence, their number is less than one hundred."

"Okay!" Barrett recognized the opponent, and Vincent, Ogden and other forty-five members behind him also began to adjust their mentality.

The battle is about to begin!

"All members are ready for combat!"

"You guys quickly put down the sails that were put away!"

"The gunners all returned to their positions to check the artillery!"

Mantodia loudly commanded everyone on the ship without hesitation, "It's still the same as before, be prepared to withdraw first, and don't fight if you can!"

He didn't need to think about the navy's troops and firepower configuration at all, because the navy is basically very fixed in this regard.

However, there are some differences in the size of the warship model, but the data on all models over the years are in his mind.

The warship in front should be of a medium model, with about eight hundred naval soldiers on it, fifteen artillery pieces on each left and right string, and three main guns in front.

So when they encounter naval warships, they don’t fight if they can, especially small-scale pirate groups like them.

Moreover, such single warships should not chase after them.

But as time goes by, the warship behind is still following them, and the distance is getting closer and closer!

"Can you meet a naughty man?" Locksani gritted her teeth and cursed, "One ship dares to chase us like this. I'm crazy about military merit!"

"Since that's the case, then fight. Anyway, they only have one, and the warship is obviously faster than us." A fierce light appeared in Mantodia's eyes.

"If we can slaughter them, our bounty will definitely reach tens of millions, and there will definitely be more people coming to join by then."

"You might have the ability to have insect fruits!"

On the warship, Major General Dwitter smiled, "It is indeed right to only bring one warship, which will make these pirates lucky."

He actually knew that doing this was very risky. Although the first half of this great route was called a "park", there were also some very difficult characters.

So he had already agreed with Lieutenant General Cornell that he would follow two warships behind them, which was a standard patrol lineup.

"Then I'll leave it to you next, let me see your achievements over the past few months!"
