Hidden Dragon treated Ambrose like a brother and had high hopes for the younger man. Who
else was qualified to be the next captain, if not Ambrose? There was one man, though, who
stood motionless in pride.
That man was Loro Chandler, Hidden Dragon’s right-hand man; he had formidable strength in
battle. His position in the Blood Shark Pirates ranked higher than most, even that of the Blood
Sherlock Four Sisters. After Hidden Dragon’s death, he should have been the captain. It was
simply unacceptable that everyone decided on Ambrose instead.

Loro looked around and said, “This area is extremely dangerous; we should get away from
here before discussing who will be the next captain, and yet here you are, just handing the
fleet over to an outsider!” Loro stared judgingly at Ambrose. “Kid, how long have you been in
the Blood Shark?
What gives you the right to be our captain?”

The pirates looked hesitant at one other; they did not know what to think.
Ambrose looked back at the man without a care. “I do not think that I have the right to do that. So what do you say
we do now?”
It was the truth. Ambrose was not interested in being the captain of pirates.
“If it were up to me, I say we give up on that monk and leave. Then we decide who gets to be the next captain,”
Loro said coldly.
Ambrose frowned. “You don’t want to avenge Hidden Dragon?”
“Of course, we will take revenge, but we have to focus on retaining our strength right now. Captain was defeated
because of his arrogance, and now he is at the bottom of the ocean,” Loro responded pretentiously.
Indeed, Loro did not intend to avenge Hidden Dragon’s death. Instead, he had his mind full of plots on how to
deceive everyone and become the captain.
Ambrose saw right through Loro’s intention and sneered, “Bullsh*t, you might be able to trick some innocent kids
with that, but not me. Let me tell you something, I am not interested in being captain, but now thanks to you, I
want that position.”
“Fine, fine.” Loro locked glares with Ambrose in disdain. “Let’s see how good you are without that Tyrant
Hammer!” Then, with eyes as cold as ice, Loro rushed toward Ambrose with a fierce punch and said, “If you can
take this punch without your Tyrant Hammer, I’ll acknowledge you as our captain!”
All the men were stunned by the fact that Loro would make such a sudden move against
Ambrose. Everyone knew that he was powerful; he was only second to Hidden Dragon, a level
five Martial Emperor. On the other hand, Ambrose was still young. Although valiant, his
strength relied primarily on Tyrant Hammer. Without it, he would not stand a chance against
Loro.
“Brother, watch out!” Eira gasped. Heather was also tense.
“Bring it on!” Ambrose did not even fret at the sight of Loro’s attack. He took a deep breath
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand raised an arm to block Loro’s punch. Baam! As the two arms came into contact, Loro felt a
wave of power push against him, and he backed up a few steps uncontrollably. A stream of
blood appeared from the corner of Loro’s lips. It was clear that Ambrose had the upper hand.
Ambrose was young, and he had also been the New World prince, fed with rare herbs and
medicine since birth. He had followed Yang Jian into battles for years, and his experience in
countless combat had forged him into a warrior not inferior to Loro.
Loro felt as if he was restrained and held in place—frustration and disbelief raged within him.
First, he glared at Ambrose; he could not wrap his head around the fact that he did not even
come close to defeating Ambrose, even when his opponent did not have the Tyrant Hammer.
Then, just as he tried to process the situation, Ambrose trotted toward him with a calm
expression and slapped his cheek.
Snap! Ambrose did not hold back; he swung his palm in full strength. Loro was sent flying
toward one of the ships a hundred meters away. He spat a mouthful of blood in pain as he
landed. Ambrose was beyond furious.
Hidden Dragon had always treated Loro well, but the moment he died, Loro immediately
plotted to take over his place as the captain instead of trying to avenge his death. Ungrateful
men like him were disposable at best. The entire fleet was shaken as they witnessed the fight.
They had been right about Ambrose; he was worthy of being their captain.
