Someone spoke up.
All the pirate captains present turned their heads in unison, their gazes falling on 'Babuzzi'.
As a seasoned pirate captain, Babuzzi felt a pang of panic under the scrutinizing eyes of many.
He said, "I'm not trying to make excuses for her. I can't be certain whether she's a spy for the association, but when she came in, she did mention the matter of the Pirate King's letter."
Then he added, "Search her Space Ring and see if there's a letter inside. That will confirm whether the Pirate King recognizes her. Besides, the Iron Barrel Pirate Group roamed the seas way before Gold and Silver Island had any association!"
This statement garnered quite a bit of agreement among the pirates.
The Iron Barrel Pirate Group may have declined, but it had indeed had its glorious moments in the past.
A pirate group with such infamy.
