Crime Prison Island

The Sea King Territory consists of three major villages: Blue Whale Village, Tiger Whale Village, and Seal Village.

Among them, Tiger Whale Village is the largest. It's bustling with traffic, filled with high-rise buildings, far more prosperous than Yamaguchi Village.

However, the streets are currently blocked, and the atmosphere is tense.

Countless shady figures walk among them, a palpable air of violence, like a storm brewing.

Killer Whale O'Brien and the Six Dragons retreated here, temporarily resting.

Soon, they also joined forces with Sea Snake, Sivina, Seal, and the Sea King one after another.

The war looms; the Sea King cannot remain idle.

He sat in the main seat, letting the Sea Snake hold the fort.

The discussion at the scene was intense, all agreeing that Tai Sui was complacent this time, Dragon Level weak, giving them a chance to defeat him in one strike.

The Sea King was originally just listening calmly, but upon hearing Sea Snake issue an order to concentrate all remaining forces in Tiger Whale Village, preparing to go all-in against Tai Sui,

he couldn't help but say, "I still think it's very risky."

"Don't forget our tradition... never put all eggs in one basket."

"Our advantage is the sea. As long as we retreat to the sea, abandoning all land, they can't do anything to us."

"If time drags on, they will retreat without the need for attack."

He was not wrong; this was indeed the most suitable strategy for Sea King Port.

In past wars, both the Third and Fourth Wars were of such magnitude; they couldn't win head-on and dragged it out at sea.

At sea, they could get supplies through the sea routes from Evil Dragon Castle, Vodka, and Golden Buddha Alliance.

On land, they had hidden nails in various villages, using the Silver Tower to disrupt the rear.

A war could drag on for years, and apart from dying continuously, no one could eliminate the other.

Unless someone could sweep through the four major cities of the Evil Dragon Empire and destroy them all in one go, Sea King Port would not perish.

Other forces had similar tactics, so over the years, the national wars waged again and again, extremely brutal and bloody, but in the end, the Three Kingdoms Nine Cities still stood strong...

Yet Tiger Whale coldly said, "Time is different now, Father!"

"We've been abandoned by the Evil Dragon Empire! We're facing Tai Sui alone!"

"If we retreat to the sea, can we ensure a continuous supply?"

The Sea King lazily said, "It's nothing more than changing from strategic support to a transaction; they also don't want us to be defeated by Tai Sui."

Tiger Whale passionately said, "Fine! Even if we still have supplies. But do you not know how fast Tai Sui is progressing?"

"He can be dealt with now, but in a few more years? Are we crazy? At that time, it won't be surprising if we hear he has slaughtered Caesar and Milan!"

Tiger Whale's words were full of fear of Tai Sui.

But he indeed wasn't wrong; Tai Sui's progress was like a dagger hanging over everyone's heads!

Other Dragon Level members nodded in agreement.

Even Sea Snake gloomily said, "The child is not wrong, in the long run, retreating to the sea to delay is simply waiting for death."

The Sea King pouted, swinging his slipper-clad leg: "Even if it's waiting for death, we're not alone."

"Many are more anxious than we are. Trust me, it won't be long; just drag it on a few more days, and there'll be someone to help us attack Tai Sui."

"There are countless people who want Tai Sui dead; why must we be the vanguard?"

His attitude was clear; he didn't want to fight.

Since Tai Sui was attacking them this time, why not just evade?

They had evaded before; why shed rivers of blood?

Why not withdraw offshore, exit the conflicts on Crime Prison Island, and watch the power struggles on the island with a smile?

This was the unique advantage of Sea King Port, to exit the chessboard.

But Tiger Whale was unwilling, gritting his teeth: "Confused, Father!"

"Because everyone thought like this before, that's what allowed Tai Sui to rise, the island a scattered sand, Tai Sui pulling strings, teaming up and fighting factions, thriving highly!"

"It can't go on like this! If we don't kill him, the future Three Kingdoms Nine Cities will certainly be destroyed by him."

"When he is invincible, even hiding at sea will lead to a dead end!"

"Rather than waiting for death, we should take a gamble, take advantage of his current internal instability; with only True Dragon Tiga following him, we should launch a full-scale attack to eliminate him!"

The Sea King sighed: "Why bother? If more of us joined or fewer of us didn't, it wouldn't make a big difference."

"If Tai Sui can ultimately overcome all and stand alone, then he's so powerful that our death wouldn't be such a regret."

"One survives a lifetime, and in the end, death is inevitable; with so many cushioning us from the front, we've done well surviving to the end."

Tiger Whale frustrated: "Father, I thought you started training to revive spirits, but you haven't changed a bit."

The Sea King calmly said: "I trained to do my best to protect all of you."

"As long as I stand firm, and the family flees to the sea, no one can destroy our family."

"You really think Sea King Port stands because of me? Or is it because of you?"

"When Little Seven fell, Sea King Port was already dead; it's just a matter of when it's buried."

"I only hope we can spend some time peacefully at sea as a family."

Tiger Whale fuming: "Father, you must join this battle!"

"Without you, we can't kill Tai Sui; this is our only chance in life. Will you participate or not!"

The Sea King couldn't counter him, sighed, and said: "Alright, you all retreat to the sea first. I'll personally deal with it, fulfill this hope of Little Seven."

"Honestly, whether you're involved in my fight with him or not makes little difference."

Everyone agreed to make a final stand against Tai Sui; he had no choice.

So he proposed a compromise, stating that he alone would fight this battle, and let the family leave first.

But when the Tiger Whale heard this, its whole body shook, creating a psychological shadow.

Even the Sea Snake was affected, both speaking in unison: "No!"

The Tiger Whale said excitedly, "Don't go one by one to be sent off!"

"This is the last chance, I must seize it! If we fight, we must use all our strength!"

"Otherwise, I would die with regret!"

The Tiger Whale was truly unwilling; from his perspective, one could understand why.

Tai Sui's rise to power had cast a huge shadow over him.

Initially, what was it? Some small fry? A Tiger Level who got chased by the Yakuza, gained fame after the battle of Yamaguchi Village, and entered the Tiger Whale's sights.

But that was all; the Tiger Whale didn't consider it seriously.

Even when Wan Kai emerged, the Tiger Whale held absolute contempt, so when Fujihara Tomohiro reported that he would resolve it, the Tiger Whale agreed without hesitation.

The outcome was disastrous; all dispatched died, Fujihara Tomohiro failed.

At that time, the Tiger Whale still had many chances, but the Seahorse's importance made him hesitate, reluctant to personally act, so he casually sent someone to make minor moves.

The result was indeed minor, but looking back, Tai Sui's power surged, defeating all the Dragon Level people he sent and even killed back to Sea King Port.

The Tiger Whale could never forget the horror of the Demon Tree incident in Seal Village and the subsequent despair during the prison break at Sea King Port. He was no longer a match for Tai Sui.

Kritos was also captured.

Finally persuading the Seahorse to kill him, but the Seahorse died too.

In this great battle, he sent six Dragons, all Dharma Bodies, yet Tai Sui fought against all six alone.

Reflecting deeply, the Tiger Whale regretted more and more, thinking if only he had acted earlier with overwhelming force to kill Tai Sui, or taken it more seriously, all this wouldn't have happened.

One by one, sent off until now no one is left, except his father, Sea King.

Yet the Sea King also said he would go meet him alone? Let the family leave first?

Screw that!

Tiger Whale's eyes reddened: "We must go all in!"

Every time before when he went all in, he could win, yet this time, he hadn't, no matter what, this time he would!

"Mother, do you support me?"

The Sea Snake looked at her husband and son staring at her, feeling hesitant inside.

Actually, the Sea Snake was very clear about how wise her husband once was, which made her fall madly in love.

To win this man, she used many means, such as secretly harming Annie during the early naval campaigns, causing her to die at the hands of the Navy.

Then, step by step, comforting and devoting herself, she finally captured the Sea King's heart, bore him a son and daughter, and completely chained him to her.

Unfortunately, the Sea King organized a massive naval campaign and ended in a disastrous defeat against the Six Gods.

Since then, the Sea King became more withdrawn from his career, but it didn't matter, the career was already established, so the Sea Snake took over the reins to hold the fort for him.

The Sea King focusing entirely on family was fine too; they were a very loving family, those were the happiest times for the Sea Snake,

All the changes stemmed from the start of the third war.

Maybe because the passion never cooled, others might not know, but the Sea Snake did. Under Caesar's invitation, the Sea King secretly participated in the second naval campaign and again suffered a devastating loss.

That was not all, but at the Sea King's most frustrated and desperate moment, he learned from the Navy about how Annie died.

Actually, it was mainly Caesar investigating how Shelly died; he didn't believe Shelly was dead, directly using his Black Players identity and spending a lot to have the Apostle investigate, and inadvertently learned the truth of Annie's death for free.

The Apostle also had a foul mouth!

The Sea Snake wished she could kill all the Apostles, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

The Sea King didn't erupt over this, saying what's past is past, she was still his wife, and the children were still the children.

But after that, the Sea King completely became a different person, wholly disinterested in everything; even when Brother Sea Turtle died, he chose to avoid battle.

Expressing that past events were like smoke, life ebbs and flows, and he was no longer the once spirited and gallant man of the past.

The Sea Snake was extremely frustrated, telling him anything was of no concern to him, he was in a state of apathy, looking like a mess in this lifetime.

If it were before, the Sea Snake would firmly trust the Sea King's judgment because his strategic vision almost never missed.

But this time, what kind of awful idea is it?

Isolating overseas, cowering as a family, giving up everything, and watching the island's stormy changes?

No matter who wins, their family's fate would be solely in the hands of the final victor?

Are they crazy? Whether Tai Sui wins or others do, there will be a monstrous force on the island, and their family will eventually die.

And the Sea King said about this, as long as they die later than others, they would profit?

Why not fight? They still had chances and even significant ones.

Tai Sui, Tiga, plus Apostle Solomon with ten minutes, they can totally fight.

At worst, if they failed, just sacrifice some people and retreat into the sea.

Far better than not trying at all.

This is really the last chance, if they give up, won't they regret it?

The Sea Snake couldn't accept the crumbling Sea King's judgment.

Finally, she said, "Since you say you want to protect the family, we all go. Will you still run? My man."

Sea King laughed, a hearty laughter, eyes completely relieved.

He finally stood up: "My brother died, I didn't go, my family is going to die, I still don't go, what meaning is there left for me to live?"

"A family should stay together."
