On the fifth day of their journey, Ivita encountered a two-masted pirate ship in the early morning. Their fleet, as always, went straight for it, attempting to get within the optimal range to fire their Seize-ship Iron Claws and capture the enemy ship.
But to their surprise, the pirate ship turned tail and fled the moment they saw Ivita's fleet.
Ten minutes later, Captain Sam entered Ivita's cabin to report: "Boss, I'm sorry, we were not able to catch up with those pirates. It seems that whenever they see us, they run away immediately. They must have some kind of speed-enhancing components on their ship, which left us far behind."
"It seems they have heard of us."
"But I believe there are still plenty of smaller pirates in this area who haven't."
Ivita nodded, and said to Captain Sam, "Then we don't need to chase them. How far are we from the Transit Sea?"
Captain Sam thought for a moment, then said, "We'll need two more days."
