...

"Boss!" The vice-captain of the pirate gang trembled as he suggested to "Eel" Jaden, "Shouldn't we retreat first? Their weapons are too powerful."

Several leaders who hadn't participated in the battle and thus hadn't taken the drug a second time remained rational.

However, his suggestion received no response. The pirate leader stood dumbfounded, watching as the enemy slowly slaughtered the underlings.

"Captain Jaden?"

After calling out several times without a response, the vice-captain cautiously reached out and tapped Jaden's shoulder.

What happened next was beyond anyone's expectations. Jaden swiftly turned around at a speed almost too fast to see clearly, grabbed the vice-captain's throat with his right hand, and with a quick upward motion, lifted the vice-captain's feet off the deck.

A near-growl emanated from the pirate leader's throat, "Coward! If it weren't for your incompetence, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

"I... I..." The vice-captain struggled to pry Jaden's fingers from his neck, but no matter how hard he tried, Jaden's grip was like a vice, crushing his windpipe.

The surrounding pirate leaders were shocked by this sudden turn of events; no one dared to approach to intervene.

Soon, the vice-captain's face turned liver-colored due to lack of oxygen, and his struggling gradually weakened. Finally, he lay still, held by Jaden by the throat, his body swaying from the recent ordeal.

"Ah!" Jaden bellowed in release, tightening his right hand's five fingers.

His fingers dug viciously into the vice-captain's throat, tearing out a large chunk of flesh along with his Adam's apple, blood pouring out profusely.

"Snap!" The vice-captain's body collapsed onto the deck, fatally wounded in the throat, certainly beyond survival.

The remaining pirate leaders on the ship stared dumbfounded, unable to comprehend their leader's sudden, severe action.

They faintly sensed: this Jaden was no longer the leader who was accustomed to restraint, whose emotions were hidden.

Jaden stared at the vice-captain's body, gasping for breath, then suddenly looked up at the others.

From the pirate leader's mouth came a chilling voice, "What are you bastards still doing here?"

Why were they still here? Were they planning to jump onto the enemy's ship like those underlings and get slaughtered? Everyone thought to themselves.

"All of you, go kill!"

"All of you, go fight!"

"All! Get! Out! There! Fight! To! The! Death!"

The pirate leader roared at the top of his lungs like a madman.

As soon as Jaden finished speaking, a stray bullet flew in, piercing through one leader's head. The high kinetic energy of the lead bullet directly shattered his skull, splattering brain matter on those nearby.

"Splash!" Another leader jumped into the sea, swimming desperately towards a nearby navy warship that was nearly done with the battle.

Following him, the second, the third... eventually, all the leaders left beside Jaden jumped into the sea, swimming towards the enemy warship.

"We surrender!" "We surrender!"

They shouted loudly towards the naval officers and soldiers on the warship in the icy cold seawater.
