Sea Devil Three continues where Sea Devil Two left off. The Sea Dragon continues to ply coastal ports with their marketing wares --- and making a huge profit. This, alone, tends to encourage the coastal pirates to kill the crew and take the ship with its riches. There are two attempts to take the Sea Dragon, which failed. The first occurred before the Sea Dragon went into Taiwan to pick up the relief force. The second occurred as the Sea Dragon accepted a large replishment crew from the Chinese National island of Taiwan. On their way to Quemoy Island off the coast of China, the pirates struck again. This time the ChiNat troopers were incredibly important to hold off the pirates.
