Chapter 1466 Turncoat

Stillwater stared at Ning, confused. "How do you know this belongs to Yolan?" she asked.

Ning scratched his chin, wondering how well Yolan had managed to keep his treasure a secret. "How did you get this treasure if you didn't know it belonged to Yolan?" he asked.

"I..." Stillwater thought for a moment. "I came across it somehow. I cannot tell you how."

Ning took the flute and looked at it for a moment before smiling. "Do you know why you did not know this was Yolan's treasure?" he asked.

Stillwater gave a confused look. How was she supposed to know why she didn't know?

"He didn't use it publically, I guess?" she said.

"Yes, but the question is why," Ning said.

"I don't think I'm aware of any reason. The best I can think of is that it does something incredible that made him want to hide it," she said.

"Something incredible..." Ning said as he slapped the flute on his palm. "I suppose for a pirate, it would be considered incredible."

"What does it do?" Tony asked, curiosity building up within him.

"Why are you asking me?" Ning said. "You know the answer yourself."

Tony frowned. "I do?" he asked.

Ning tossed the flute to Tony who caught it and looked at it carefully. He looked at the design, the swirling blue pattern that was only visible close-up. There were specks of white on the blue too, as though images of a large wave where the white was the fizz on top.

Tony's eyes narrowed as he looked at the entire thing, the descriptions matching something he had read a long time ago about.

"Are you going to tell us how you gained this treasure?" Ning asked. "Or are you going to leave just like that?"

"I cannot tell you," she said. "I'm sorry."

Ning nodded. "I see. Thanks for telling us," he said and waved her away.

Stillwater left, confused and wondering why he thanked him in the end.

Tim had already returned to his room, so Tony remained alone on the couch, looking at Ning curiously. "Why did you thank her? She didn't tell you anything," he said.

"Oh, but she did, didn't she?" Ning asked. "She didn't tell us directly, but she gave us enough information."

Tony frowned. "Did she?" he asked.

"I'm going to sleep. You can tell those two the information if you are curious tomorrow morning once they wake up," Ning said and left.

Tony remained bewildered and after a while returned to his room to sleep.

The night was peaceful, and because of how soundproof the penthouse was, none of the three sleeping could hear what was happening outside.

At some point close to dawn, pirates had gathered on each side of the town, each understanding that they needed to take care of the other party.

Yolan and his group had made an alliance with Silvereye and the remnants of Ironheart Sam, as well as anyone who was unhappy with how Stillheart pirates owned the majority of the land in Rumgrave.

On the other side, Stillwater had allied with Redfist to declare war against the Greenskull pirates for collaborating with a government and thus turning against pirates in general.

It was difficult to say just what the consequences of someone betraying them at an unfortunate time would be. They would be devastated. They couldn't let a traitor live among them.

They had to kill the scum of the scums. As such when early dawn came, the entire Rumgrave island was engulfed in a large war between two incredibly big factions that fought each other until only one side remained.
