Not until early the next morning,
did the fleet approach the harbor, towing the damaged pirate ships.
The sight of ships covered in scars making their way to the dock still caused quite a stir.
"What's happening, why are ships flying pirate flags docking?"
"Those are the Poison Blade and Red Crown pirate ships. I've seen their flags on wanted posters."
"They're approaching the Association's harbor; looks like they've been taken down by the Association's folks."
"The Poison Blade Pirate Group has been notorious for over a decade. How could they be wiped out so easily?"
"It seems the Association has taken drastic measures, the pirates have been too rampant on the trading routes lately."
"That's true..."
Everyone whispered among themselves.
Meanwhile, those who were gathering information quickly left the crowd to pass the news on.
Soon, the news that the Association had wiped out two pirate groups spread rapidly at the harbor and across the island.
