At present, above the East Sea, apart from the real pirates, there are mainly two forces.
The Sea Sand Gang predominantly controls the northern part of the East Sea, while the southern part is under the sway of the Giant Whale Gang.
Further to the south is the East Sea Gang formed by a group of bandits.
The true bandits inside, most of whom are the defeated samurais from Fusang Island, slinked away from their own island, so they dare not stay too north, close to their homeland, and naturally keep expanding southward.
Now there are also quite a few traces of these bandits in Lingnan.
And these bandits are also being utilized by the big smuggling families along the coast.
Overall, the power of the East Sea Gang is very frightening, but is too scattered.
The Giant Whale Gang is deeply involved with the Duke Wei Mansion which leads the Four Great Families, and now they are making surreptitious overtures to many lesser scholars and nobles.
