When Zheng He was pretending to find one of his crew on the pirates’ ship, Ethan aimed his gun at
him, but suddenly some rope swingers knocked all of the pirates out and they disappeared into the ocean.
Zheng He returned with his crew in triumph as they had won the battle and started to prepare for a journey
