The proof of the pudding was in the eating!
Seeing Yang Ling defeat an alarming number of Octopuses, the pirates, in a state of shock, were more respectful towards him. Even the ferocious warrior Novgorod was completely convinced.
The Octopuses moved very quickly and were very strong. The pirates also suffered greatly at their unpredictable tentacles. But Yang Ling was even faster, with more precise attacks and was able to neatly dispatch a large group of Octopuses in a short amount of time. Six to seven Octopuses out of every ten that were killed had died at his hand.
They could not help but respect such power!
After turning defeat into victory and utterly crushing the group of Octopuses, they climbed on top of the big flat rock to recuperate and bandage their wounds. After the intense battle, even the ferocious warrior Novgorod was full of bloodstains, not to mention the female captain.
