In the North Sea Region, not far from Iron Anchor Bay, lies the seashore of the Eternal Night Peninsula.
Upon the already dark and dimly moonlit sea, a thin fog arose, making several pirate ships flying black skull flags appear and disappear intermittently.
They looked exactly like the legendary and terrifying Ghost Ships.
One of the skull flags depicted a skeleton dragging a bloody, twisted worm's body—it was none other than "Woodpecker" Maltz's Chirping Insect.
This was also an unusual pirate group; influenced by "Black Sorcery: Ant Queen's Blessing," all its members had been turned into women.
The Chirping Insect had clearly adjusted its position in advance, its stern facing the Eternal Night Peninsula and its bow pointed towards Iron Anchor Bay.
It looked ready to weigh anchor and set sail at any moment.
Suddenly, a voice as thin and sharp as an insect's chirped, "Midnight has arrived! All crew to your stations! Do not leave your posts, no matter what you hear."
