This stretch of sea had pirates, but as the captain of the Denis Three, Captain Wheat Bran was not afraid of them.
As a vessel that represented the Dennis Clan, both Captain Wheat Bran and his first mate were Professional Knights. Moreover, the clan arranged for a Knight Squad to escort them on every voyage.
This time, for instance, there were more than a dozen Professional Knights on board, including some of Bronze and Silver Level.
As for the Fleming Clan of Screaming Island, the overlords of this sea region, they were indeed powerful. But their targets were passing merchant ships, and they only demanded a protection fee after stopping them, so they weren't actually very dangerous.
Over the years, the Fleming Clan had intercepted a Denis vessel on only a handful of occasions. Moreover, this time the ship was flying not only the flag of the Dennis Clan but also the Golden Mountain Range flag of the Wushan Clan.
