Soon, the nimble swifts had searched the entire ship from top to bottom and did not find any explosives or other possible traps. Most of the crew members of the Double-Tailed Fish were also intact, but they were a little dispirited after being tied up for so long.
At this time, the two ships were about fifty meters apart.
The boat that had just been lowered from the Roaring Conch had just rowed to the side of the Double-Tailed Fish with the help of the sailors. They threw out a rope ladder and were about to board the merchant ship.
The seabirds' search had already come to an end, and the last image they sent back made Elvin's face suddenly change.
"This is …?"
"Don't go up, come back!"
Elvin had been so focused on searching the cabin and the crew that he did not notice a middle-aged man with two swords at his waist standing on the stern of the Double-Tailed Fish.
His posture was casual as he leaned against the railing, enjoying the whistling sea breeze mixed with raindrops. He did not care about the wind and rain, nor did he care about the navy that was close at hand!
Elvin's sailors might not recognize him immediately, but with his "Data Analyzing Vision" that recorded the information of all the wanted pirates, he recognized him at first glance.
Iron Bone William, a famous pirate in this area, was also the captain of his target, the Iron Bone Pirate Ship.
He did not have the time to think about why this pirate captain stayed here, but his pirate ship, Iron Bone, had already left alone.
[Sword Form: Wave Jump]
Without time to return to the cabin to retrieve his alchemy flintlock, Elvin shouted a warning as he quietly activated the secret sword technique that had completely turned into an instinct. He jumped to the surface of the sea.
After a few steps, he stepped on the waves and rushed towards the Double-Tailed Fish without any hesitation.
Thud … Thud … Thud …
Although Elvin's physical fitness was still far from Gör's, with the help of the secret sword technique of White Sail that even Gör did not master, Elvin could run on the water more easily than when Gör fought Skook the White Shark.

Elvin, who has improved a lot in every aspect, and has even fought against a veteran Knight level "Man Killer Fiend" (yep, ganging up on it counts too), is now full of confidence.
"Iron Bone William! Just give up and let me capture you! "
On the deck of the Double-Tailed Fish, a roar was heard before anyone arrived.
Of course, Elvin wasn't trying to get the pirate captain to repent, but to attract his attention and prevent him from attacking the navy soldiers who had climbed up the rope ladder.
These were all his future subordinates, so he couldn't let them die here for no reason!
Hu — —
The two ships were not far from each other in the first place. In just a few seconds, Elvin had already stepped on the seawater and landed lightly on the deck of the Double-Tailed Fish.
"Leave this to me. You guys go back first!"
"Uh, yes, Sir Captain!"
At this time, "Iron Bone William" seemed to have just realized the arrival of the navy. He looked down from the stern of the ship with a condescending attitude.
But his eyes were indifferent.
Obviously, the few navy soldiers who had climbed up the deck ahead of him, and even Elvin who was an official Knight, were nothing in his eyes.
Elvin raised his head and looked at the pair of gray eyes without showing any weakness.
A flash of lightning flashed across the sky and left an electric scar in the eyes of the two!
"Oh, a young navy officer!"
After a long while, "Iron Bone William" exhaled. His sigh carried a heavy sense of nostalgia.
Elvin, however, knew the origin of the complicated feelings in his sigh.
It was a bit absurd and even melodramatic.
This famous pirate was once a naval officer of the Kingdom of Tylon, one of the Tulip Alliance. He was born a commoner and had outstanding talent. He had repeatedly led his subordinates to make great contributions. He was the idol of many civilian sailors in the fleet!
But such an outstanding person with a bright future, because he was unwilling to associate with others in an operation, several of his colleagues suffered heavy losses.
After that, he was framed by a subordinate officer who had a vested interest in the operation. He was accused of colluding with pirates and endangering the safety of the kingdom.
But this subordinate officer had underestimated his strength.
When he excitedly held the arrest warrant of the fleet and personally presided over the arrest operation, he was killed by William, who had a strong character and could not stand the humiliation of a villain.
No matter what reason and difficulties he had for killing his superior officer, William could not turn back and would not be easily let off by the Kingdom's navy.
Faced with the arrest warrant of the Kingdom of Tylon and even the entire Tulip Alliance, William, who was desperate but tenacious, could not stay on land. He could only go to sea and devote himself to the pirate career that he despised the most in the past.
With his own talent and strength, he quickly formed his own team and hung the pirate flag of the "Iron Bone".
And as he became famous again at sea, his past was also dug up by some people and wantonly publicized. The officials of the Kingdom of Tylon were somewhat embarrassed.
But at this time, there was no turning back. "Iron Bone William" could no longer be a Navy William.
But some of his principles as a Navy William in the past were still preserved. He pursued the philosophy of "no killing". He only robbed and did not kill. If he took the initiative to hand over a quarter of the value of the goods, he would even protect him in part of the sea.
It was worth mentioning that in fact, this price was actually lower than the tariffs of some countries.
This guy was a complete anomaly among the pirates. But his strength was so strong that no one could underestimate him.
"Iron Bone William! Were you betrayed by your own pirate subordinates? Should I leave you here to die? " Elvin looked at the pirate captain on the stern. William was arrogant, but he was not one to look down on others. He opened his mouth to refute.
"Die? Haha, with just you guys? Although it was arranged, I, Iron Bone William, can't just run away like this.
Young man, show me what you're capable of. If you're not careful, you might really die! "
Accepting the terms of the fat pig from Wesker City didn't mean that William, who had always been arrogant and unruly, would completely abandon his principles. He would not go so far as to kill the innocent navy on a mission, but he could still make them run away the next time they saw him.
Being chased into the sea like a stray dog, he had a stomach full of resentment to vent. Slapping the navy in the face was one of his few reserved programs.
Moreover, up until now, he had never failed in this entertainment program!
"Take this!"
Clang!
The two swords at his waist were unsheathed. William held them upside down and rushed down from the stern like an eagle swooping down from the sky. Accurate, fierce, and fatal!
"Good timing!"
With half of his sword out of the sheath, Elvin did not dodge and faced the attack head-on.
Before taking up the position, Elvin had collected information on all the famous pirates in the kingdom's waters. Their personalities, origins, main deeds, the sword skills they were good at, the general Knight level, and so on. Of course, he did not leave out Iron Bone William.
Although a veteran Knight was strong, he could still fight.
The "Wild Charm" at his waist had been secretly activated.
Clang clang clang … Clang clang clang …
In the rain, the sound of swords clashing rang out. Sparks flew everywhere, and the two people were like two illusory ghosts, appearing and disappearing on the deck.
Both of them were Knight level experts who specialized in agility. They reached the peak of the battle the moment they came up.

This was all the information about Iron Bone William.
The database of the "Data Visual Field" was connected to Elvin's brain. The data displayed was based on Elvin's senses and knowledge, just more accurate.
He could only test the other party's data after fighting them personally. Only after knowing the other party's information could it be displayed systematically. In other words, if Elvin knew nothing about his opponent's sword skills, it could not be displayed.
