Not just anyone could reach the pinnacle of martial arts.0

It seemed ridiculous that someone of that level would become a pirate and plunder the seas, and Zhou Xuchuan couldn’t help but laugh.0

However, it wasn't necessarily that absurd.0

The Eastern Pirates weren’t a small pirate group.0

They were so large that they plundered across the entire seaboard of the East Sea and the South Sea during the fall of the Yuan Dynasty and the rise of the Ming Dynasty.0

Even in the early days of the new dynasty, there had been frequent punitive expeditions against them.0

More recently, pirate activity had increased to the point that the imperial court was once again considering a large-scale punitive war.0

The Eastern Pirates were a martial force that committed plunder not only in the Central Plains, but also in neighboring countries like the Empire of the Morning Calm and the Eastern Islands.0

So, if the leader in charge of the South Sea of such a force was weak—that would have been even stranger.0

It was no coincidence that they were the ones keeping the Nine Water Gangs from advancing into the seas.0

Fang Jun had been born as the youngest son of the infamous pirate Fang Guozhen and was raised with all kinds of support. He was talented in his own right and had fought in many battles throughout his life of plunder.0

"Harmony Realm?"0

Fang Jun was equally surprised when he saw Zhou Xuchuan.0

He hadn’t been able to follow the movements of the crazy brat standing before him. Now that he thought about it, he couldn’t even guess...0
