The look of disappointment on their faces vanished immediately, and the pirate officers perked up:
"Deputy leader? I know the Dragon Cavalry had such a position since its inception, but I've never known who the deputy leader is, let alone met them."
Someone was more concerned about the deputy leader's strength:
"What level is the deputy leader? Even a peak-level Official Knight might not be enough, right?"
Bess let out a signature owl-like laugh:
"Hoo hoo hoo... There's no need to worry about strength, in fact, among the pirates roaming the Golden Sea, many have heard her name!"
"Are you saying... it's her? Is the deputy leader a powerful female pirate?"
As they were discussing, Baldwin, who had been observing the pirate fleet outside, suddenly interjected:
"Look, they're making a move!"
Whoosh—
Standing on the flagship of the pirate fleet, the bald wizard of the Curse School tore off his wizard robe, revealing a body of knotted muscles covered in bluish-black tattoos.
