Chapter 300: After All, I'm No Demon Aiden raised his gun and fired through the bars, systematically shooting through the dominant hands of the pirates holding firearms. Once a magazine was empty, he unhurriedly reloaded and continued firing. Screams echoed one after another as pirates clutched their bleeding hands. Their guns couldn't fire; in this "gunfight," no matter their numerical advantage, they were nothing but live targets. "You really could have just used my divine word," Qimora said, standing beside Aiden, taking a drag from her slender cigarette holder. "No need," Aiden replied between shots. Before revealing himself, he had invoked the "Return" divine word effect. Within the duration and range of the divine word, the pirates' guns instantly reverted to their pre-firing state the moment they were fired.

Gather everything brought here and wait for my return. The rest, follow me to the cells. Get moving, you lazy bums!!" Pirate King Navia Drake expertly directed his subordinates. He dispatched some men to plunder supplies while leading the main group towards the cells. Although the primary objective this time was the jailbreak, robbery was, after all, their old trade.
