"Hard to port! Get away from that damn Storm!"
"Where's the Boatswain? Take some men and throw anything non-essential overboard! We can always plunder more money if we lose it!"

The scattered Pirate Ships and noble merchant vessels immediately chose to detour the moment they detected the Storm.
In their experience, only a Five-Masted Sailing Ship could maintain basic stability in a storm like that. An ordinary three-masted ship, with a hull barely fifty meters long, couldn't even match the height of a single wave.
"Look! A ship is heading into it!"
"Who's that brave?"
"Is that the Bai Ke Li?!"
"Black Jack, that bastard is back?"
"He's as reckless as ever, choosing to cut straight through. Is he in that much of a hurry to get to Avad Island?"
"Quick, quick! Cut the crap and get this ship on a new course! We're going around!"
"Activate the Array! Faster, faster—"
