Seeing that this Prince Rong of the Great Qi Kingdom was indeed prepared, Pedro immediately suppressed his excitement. He was unlike Fujita whose home country Japan was very close to here, which meant he could quickly fill in the numbers should some of his men get killed. The difference was just that perhaps an experienced person had to be replaced with a newbie. On the other hand, if Pedro lost some men here, he would have to wait for half a year or even longer before the replacements arrive. During this period of time, he might be annexed by other pirates or wiped out by the Great Qi Kingdom's soldiers because of the lack of manpower. Therefore, unless he was confident that he could capture Qi Haoran, he would not take the risk.
It was also because his country was very far from here that he could boldly face this Prince Rong and kill him or capture him. After obtaining a huge sum of money, he could simply bring his people out of this sea area.
