Chapter 236 – The Second Hero.(3)
Cold sea.
The winter sea is always full of pirates.
The pirates, each with a different story and reason, raided the ship at the top to collect sacrifices and left a lot of damage.
That’s why pirates have long been a big nuisance in the Empire.
And lately, there have been vicious rumors among the pirates.
It was rumored that a warship was roaming the seas killing pirates at random.
The pirates who heard this rumor snorted and ignored it.
Usually, these rumors were mostly false rumors spread by empires or kingdoms to curb pirates’ actions.
The captain of the Pearl Pirates here, Pearl Toner, was one of the pirates who heard rumors and thought it was the Empire’s masterpiece.
Pearl Toner was in a state where her mood skyrocketed because the ship that was passing by today, especially the ship of the caravan, was fired.
“Hwiyu~ Captain! Look at this! Sugar, salt… Kiya~ Even fruits!”
“Precious seasoning and dream-like fruit in the sea are the best!”
10 boxes of sugar, 20 boxes of salt, 50 boxes of fruit.
All of them were expensive foods that were difficult to obtain at sea.
In addition, sugar and salt were items that could be sold to the same pirates at a high price, or used to stab pirates as bribes.
Feeling really good, Pearl Toner shouted in front of the crew.
“You bastards! We did something big, so let’s play and eat today! It’s a festival!”
“Waaaaa! The captain is the best!”
“Let’s eat some grilled salt and some sweet fruit!”
The pirates in a friendly atmosphere were already salivating at the thought of eating sugar and fruit.
The aristocrat of the upper ranks, who had been suppressed by this, shouted.
Merchants to sell their goods were still waiting, but the nobles could not stand the short time the pirates left while they were tied up.
“You guys! Do you think I’ll be safe even if a noble touches me! If it’s not a waste of your life, release this right away. And if it goes out in front of me, I’ll spare your life!”
“Hee! Now, Viscount! What are you doing!”
“Eh. You filthy bastards! Get off now!”
At the nobleman’s cry, the captain of the ship next to him panicked and tried to stop him, and the Viscount pushed the captain away.
The viscount was conceited without even grasping the situation properly.
For the Viscount, who lived like a king in his own domain, the current humiliation was unbearable, and the sailors and captains who were servile to the pirates were like trash.
This was the pride of an aristocrat and the stubbornness that arose because he had an inferiority complex as an aristocrat with the lowest rank.
The merchants behind the nobility laughed at the viscount.
This is the sea and the enemies are Anhamuin’s pirates.
Pirates were cold-blooded criminals who did not pay for the name of nobles and only valued their skills.
But to put forward the pride of aristocrats here… Fool, it’s best to just calmly wait and get released. Did Na Dae-gi forget why we’re being held?
Merchants commonly scolded nobles and clicked their tongues.
Had I stayed still, half would have gone.
Pirates generally use fast hit-and-run tactics, so they always maintain 1 to 3 ships.
They have three pirate ships with Pearl Toner as their captain, and the top ship is fast, but it is not suitable for combat, so it is not very valuable to pirates, so they only take supplies.
At this time, merchants and nobles do not kill because they are dizzy.
They are also targets of plunder by pirates, and if a noble is killed by pirates, the surveillance of the sea becomes tighter.
Of course, it wasn’t about killing anyone.
“What is this idiot saying?”
As a pirate captain, Pearl Toner stroked his rough beard and thrust his sword into the viscount.
The sword pierced his shoulder neatly, and the viscount was bleeding and screaming in pain from his mouth.
Pearl Toner kicked the face of the viscount, who was making a lot of noise, and stepped on it.
“You’re making noise.”
Puck- Puck- Puck- Puck-
“Keah, cuaak! Shoulder… My shoulder!”
Haha! Guys, look at the aristocrat wriggling like an insect!”
Haha, that looks like an idiot, not an aristocrat!”
Pearl Toner smiled as he pressed the shoulder he had wounded with the sword.
The sailors also laughed and laughed at the nobleman as if in response.
Laughter filled the sea, and the viscount finally understood his situation and trembled.
Pearl Toner smirked as if she liked the look of the viscount and threw the viscount into the corner.
Now that all supplies had been moved, he intended to retreat quickly.
And at that moment, something flew and hit Pearl Toner’s shoulder.
Kwajik!
“What?”
What flew was an iron ball.
The steel ball smashed Pearl Toner’s shoulder, and Pearl Toner looked at her own shoulder, which was either shattered or bleeding, and she let out a hollow sigh as she did not recognize the reality of her moment.
She was then forced to recognize reality by her pain starting from her shoulder and covering her head.
“Quaaaaagh!!”
I grabbed her shoulder, where her blood was flowing, and the pearl toner rolled across her floor.
The pirates looked around in surprise and finally saw the girl hanging from the railing at the end of the ship.
Her girl was smiling as she tossed her iron ball in her own hand.
If they were ordinary pirates, they would have been crazy about women and tried to attack them right away, but they couldn’t move because of the pressure they felt from the girl.
The girl smiled and rose from her seat.
Behind the girl was a warship she hadn’t known since.
Only then did the pirates recall the rumor.
A warship that slaughter piracy.
“No, that’s ridiculous! Are the rumors true?”
“Ughhhhh!!”
The pirates panicked at once, and Pearl Toner stood up and shouted, enduring the pain.
“Don’t be confused! There’s one to one over there, and that’s a woman! Push forward with numbers!”
“That’s right! There’s only one person over there!”
“Why are we scared!”
At Pearl Toner’s cry, the pirates barely escaped panic.
Rather, blaming themselves for being frightened, they bravely rushed at the girl.
Aaaaa!!!
The high spirit of the pirates, but the girl laughed at the pirates.
Then he put the iron ball he was holding in his hand between his fingers.
An ordinary iron ball, but to the girl, the iron ball was the most useful weapon for using her abilities.
Whoop-
A whirlwind rose from the girl’s fingers, coiling around her iron ball, and her ball was fired at high speed with the wind.
The iron ball became a bullet and pierced the body of the pirates.
The pirates were surprised to see their comrades fall and splatter blood.
The girl got up from her seat and picked up the sword that had fallen on her floor… The massacre has begun.
The girl, Mistral Reisen, put wind on her sword.
One image was as sharp as a sword, and the shape was like an air cutter that compressed the wind.
Even simply putting it on a sword would be dangerous to pirates without armor, but Reisen didn’t stop there and swung the air cutter.
The air cutter increased its size around the sword, wrapped around the pirates, and clamped them down.
Chew! Chow!
The pirates did not recognize the air cutters in time and their bodies were dismembered.
The inside of the ship was stained with the blood of the pirates, and those who were held captive felt hope even though they trembled in fear at Reisen’s ability.
On the other hand, Pearl Toner, the only one of her pirates who knew how to handle her magical powers, barely avoided her air cutter and struggled to get away from Reisen in fear of her.
She couldn’t completely avoid it and her legs were cut off, but she didn’t care and tried to get away as far as possible, waving her arms.
Her wound was getting worse, bleeding from her shoulder, but she didn’t care to think about it.
Raysen calmly approached the pearl toner.
Then she smiled brightly and raised her sword and thrust it slowly into both of his shoulders.
Pook-
“Quaaaaagh! That, stop, stop! Please stop!”
Hearing clearly the sound of it cutting through her flesh, Pearl Toner stirred her hands and struggled.
Reisen puts a total of four swords into each of his shoulders without getting in the way.
Of course, the bones in his shoulder were shattered, and Pearl Toner, who was unable to move both arms, was crushed in pain, and Reisen…
“Mmmm, subjugating pirates is surprisingly fun!”
Smiled contentedly.
Then, he took the pearl toner and threw it into the sea, saying that.
His face was full of satisfaction and joy.
———————————
The calm sea, Senia made pirate hunting a pastime, and soon Reisen and I joined the procession.
Subjugating pirates to appease the boredom brought about by the open sea was funny, but since it was fun and helpful to the world, we moved more actively.
In the first place, the tower I wanted to go to was a place that would take 10 days even if I went quickly, so I planned to dive and move as soon as I got closer.
That’s why even if you fall into another place for a while, you only need to go nearby, and we enjoyed subjugating pirates with excitement.
I had plenty of time anyway, so I wouldn’t stop it if it wasn’t dizzy.
Asuna was the only one who steadfastly enjoyed sea fishing, but sometimes I would cook the Octopus or Squid-like Monsters she caught with lightning and enjoy them.
Surprisingly, the sea seemed like a fun place.
It was very rich and overflowing with things to enjoy.
Well, the pirates dealing with us must be suffering enough to poop blood.
I sympathized with them a little, thinking of the pirates we had sunk ourselves and the pirates we were seeing less and less often.
Still, there won’t be any big complaints even if the beauties you can’t see in this sea die as enemies.
