"It doesn't look like they are planning to listen."

Big Maestro said with a laugh.

"Would you? They are currently drunk in the feeling of freedom that they would rather sink to the sea as dead men than go back there."

Jeremiah said.

"Let's sink them then."

Ethan said and raised his fist into the air.

The cannons of a hundred battleships turned to face the criminal's vessel, and at the same time, fuses were lit.

BOOOOOOOM!

The seas shook violently as the cannons released their fury, blackening the skies even further with their thunderous explosions.

The criminals hunched behind the railings and braced for impact with frightened expressions.

"Huff…"

In that moment, Renette fluttered her long eyelashes shut and felt her martial soul beat inside her like a heart.

The cracks in her martial soul slowly healed, and with each passing moment, she was recovering more and more of her Immortal strength.

Her beautiful butterfly wings unfurled, and she took flight, spreading them wide as she hovered above the vessel.

"The Ballad of Fire and Smoke!"

Renette's sweet voice traversed through the air, and her voice had a magnetic effect on the cannonballs.

The cannonballs changed trajectories and started heading towards her.

She shielded herself with the butterfly wings, and then, the cannonballs struck her wings with a deafening explosion.

The smoke cloud was temporary, and when it was gone, everyone saw Renette, unscathed, smiling with her wings fully intact.

"Immortal Killer of the Red Sun!"

Ethan shouted with a grim expression.

They had already received a report of her escape and expected to encounter her here.

While he was momentarily stunned, he also realized that this was the perfect moment for him to make his Fleet Admiral debut.

If he stopped the escape of two hundred dangerous criminals, and the Killer of the Red Sun, he would already be hailed as a hero.

Stab!

Rochan stabbed the sword into the deck of the ship, and modified slightly by adding several dozen cannons to create a warship.

"Go to the lower decks, fill the cannons, and blast these bastards to hell!"

He shouted.

With serious nods, several of the weaker criminals rushed downstairs, as they didn't believe they could help much in the battle.

At least they could perhaps sink a few ships with the cannons.

"Let's sail through these motherfuckers!"

Rochan shouted.

A small-eyed criminal took the helm of the ship, as he used to be the helmsman of the Unibrow Pirates until he was thrown into prison.

They started sailing towards the encirclement of the navy battleships.

"We need a shield!"

Rochan shouted towards one of the Martial Kings, who had rather decent Martial Ability for this situation.

"Roger!"

The Martial King jumped to the front of the ship, put his hands together, and pointed them forwards as if his hands were the tip of a sword.

In front of the ship, a holographic shield appeared, looking like an ordinary military man's shield except it was ten times as big.

It was perfectly guarding the front of the ship, but that was pretty much it, as the sides were still exposed.

However, Rochan modified the ship once more and added some metal plating to cover the sides and complete the ship's defense.

In that moment, the criminals lit the fuses on the cannons, and as the ship sailed past several of the battleships, the deafening sounds of explosions came.

The cannons fired, sending fiery projectiles towards the navy ships, and they tore through the ships with ease.

"Ahh!"

"We are going!"

The navy soldiers onboard screamed as the water leaked from several holes, and started sinking the ship.

"Stop their advancement."

Ethan ordered with his arms behind his back while his gold cloak of the Fleet Admiral fluttered in the wind.

Jeremiah nodded and waved his hands, causing the surrounding seas to calm themselves down and the ships to stabilize.

In that moment, he summoned two waves of water to rise up, and they crashed into the criminals' vessel.

"Freeze!"

Jeremiah closed his hands into fists, and the water surrounding the criminal's vessel froze into a thick ice.

THUMP!

"Argh...."

The criminals stumbled as the ship stopped moving, as it was encased in ice, unable to continue forward.

"Jeremiah Arcanielago… I have heard that he has the power to control the seas. How can we even stand a chance against the man known as the Ruler of the Seas, who has the most powerful ability for any sailor to possess?"

One of the criminals said in fear.

"Sink that ship!"

Ethan shouted.

With that said, the over hundred cannons shot and smashed into the vessel, causing a flaming explosion.

KA-BOOOM!

The entire vessel exploded into a thousand fiery pieces, leaving nothing but debris floating in the water.

The dark night, and the surrounding ocean, had been illuminated by the destruction.

In the water, there were several burned corpses of the criminals just floating about, dead as can be.

However, the navy soldiers noticed that there was a great lack of corpses, as there should have been over a hundred and not just a few.

"They must be swimming underwater!"

"I saw many of them jump off the ship before the explosion!"

The navy soldiers shouted.

"We will not let any of them escape. Jeremiah, freeze the waters."

Ethan ordered.

With a nod, Jeremiah let out a cold breath, and as he jumped off the ship, he touched the water surface with his cold hand.

In an instant, the surrounding seas was clad in a freezing ice, and it even caused the battleships to freeze in place.

If anyone was really swimming underneath, they would definitely be frozen to a bone by about now.

BOOM!

In that moment, a metallic ship—an icebreaker ship—rose from the sea like a submarine, and on the deck, countless criminals were gritting their teeth.

When the cannonballs hurled towards their ship, they all jumped off the ship, and Rochan already expected what Jeremiah was going to do, so he created an icebreaker ship, and every criminal climbed onboard under the sea.

"Fire!"

Ethan screamed.

The cannons fired and tore through the icebreaker ship, but this time around, it didn't completely explode.

However, with the countless holes, it stopped moving altogether and even began to sink.

"We will have to fight for freedom!"

Rochan raised his saber sword high, rallying the troops, and as every criminal screamed hoarsely, they jumped off the ship.

With the iced sea, they now had a perfect foothold.

They landed on the icy ground and screamed loudly as they started running towards the frozen battleships.

"Men! Today we become legends and heroes of history! Do not let any of them live!"

Ethan screamed.

"Yeaaaaaah!"

With swords drawn, the navy soldiers jumped down from the ships, landed on the icy ground, and started running towards the incoming criminal force.

Their shouts echoed throughout the dark night, and at that moment, the two armies clashed in the icy battlefield.
