At sea (3)
The luxury liner, the Trinio.
It was a tourist liner that departed from San Taylor and returned to the sea for about a day.
As many distinguished guests who visited San Taylor loved it, they had no choice but to pay special attention to safety, and it was common to set sail with a dedicated escort ship.
However, a sudden problem arose on the escort ship today, and it became a situation where only the passenger ship would go out alone.
Of course, the captain and the crew objected, but the order came down to leave because we couldn’t ruin the schedule of the high-ranking people.
Even if there is no frigate, the Trinio was built using trees that are reputed to be strong, and it also had a function to create a magic barrier around it that could block shells and enemy ships.
It was a story that even if you couldn’t fight, you could evacuate safely or call a rescue team with a signal flare and hold on until they arrived.
So the sailors cursed at their mouths, but they had no choice but to follow the instructions.
The passenger ship Trinio, which departed from San Taylor, reached the open sea and eventually encountered a pirate ship.
“Information leaked.”
Looking at the pirate ship visible to the naked eye, the captain of the Trinio murmured in silence.
Information about frigates was not treated so seriously, but it was not something that even a single pirate could know.
It must be that the spy is deep inside, or that the opponents are not ordinary pirates.
yeah, that’s probably it
After receiving a report of an approaching pirate ship, the captain eventually gave up on escaping.
With such a huge passenger ship, they couldn’t shake off the speedboat they boarded. It was decided that it was best to remain calm and wait for the rescue team to arrive.
“Shoot the flares and reassure the passengers until help arrives! Never make a fuss!”
The captain, who encouraged the crew and gave instructions, looked up at the red light flying into the sky for a moment, then turned his head back to the pirate ship.
Now he came within sight of the pirate flag and changed the captain’s thoughts to certainty.
Tug Pirates.
They are pirates rampaging in the sea around here, and they are based on an island somewhere, and the captain, Tug, is said to be one of the best in sea combat.
The imperial navy was frantic to catch him, but there was a reason they hadn’t caught it yet.
If he had gone out on his own, it might have been safer to collect the precious metals from the passengers.
“No, what a weak sound.”
He was the captain of this ship.
Above all, I had the duty to protect the passengers until the end.
The captain ordered the crew to retract the sails. The effect of the ship’s magic barrier was significantly reduced when it was moved, so it was necessary to engage in an earth battle in place.
Finally the pirate ship, which had come close to me, turned sideways, and one of its gun barrels fired.
The moment the passengers were about to cheer when they saw that the shell hit the magic barrier and could not go any further.
Kwaaang!
The shell exploded with a roar and the magic barrier was shattered powerlessly.
Passengers who saw it in front of their eyes froze for a while, and soon began to scream and fall into a state of panic.
“Kyaaagh!”
“The barrier is broken! We will sink!”
“pirate! The pirates are coming!”
“Where are my escorts and what are they doing?!”
The crew hastily tried to calm the passengers, but the already confused passengers couldn’t hear such words.
At that moment, four cannonballs flew through the air with a roar again, and the passengers shut their mouths at once and captured the scene with their eyes.
Did they say that people can’t do anything if they’re too surprised?
On the deck, as if time had stopped, four figures fluttered and flew outward.
aaang!
With a ringing sound in the ears, the broken trajectories of the cannonballs were thrown into the sea all at once, and the four people who appeared on the deck again adjusted their posture.
“Aww, this hurts so much. Isn’t Irina’s sister okay?”
“It’s because the sword I use is different.”
“It is evidence of lack of discipline. It hurts because I’m ignorantly trying to push it away by force.”
Scarlett, Irina, and Douglas were expressing their appreciation for the action of dismissing the shells calmly, but only one was markedly different from them.
“I, b*tch… … ! Whoa… … .”
Irvin, who was about to pour out harsh words, took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Not anywhere else, Rize was watching from behind, so he couldn’t say such a thing.
Besides, Rize was there, but those guys who did such a thing couldn’t be forgiven.
Irvin, who was forced to do this, glared at the pirate ship fiercely, and soon, as if he had found something, he stepped back from the railing and lowered his stance.
“dad? Are you flying again?”
Seeing Rize with a worried expression from a little distance away, my heart softened a little.
Irvin forced a smile and spoke with as little emotion as possible.
“Dad, I’ll be back for a while, so should I stay calm?”
“uh? Uh, yes, I will.”
Feeling something strange, Rize nodded, and Irbin looked straight ahead again and spoke to the three people next to him who were giving him suspicious eyes.
“Rize please take care of me. And the remaining shells.”
Kwaaang!
At that moment, the passenger ship was shaken by the intense force, and Irvin’s body went through the air like a shotgun.
It was tremendous power and speed, but it seemed a little short to reach the pirate ship.
Irvin, who had slowed down little by little, was not taken aback, and leaped again using the shells that flew right in front of him as a stepping stone.
Pew!
The shell hit the sea, causing splashes, and Irvin’s body, which accelerated once again, fell onto the pirate ship.
Immediately after, the three people who jumped from the passenger ship again and handled the shells once more landed on the deck and couldn’t hide their surprise.
“Oh, wow! How the hell did you do that?! Dad can do something like that, too?!”
“If you want to do it, you can do it.”
“I can do it too.”
“Ah, what’s wrong with my real sister? Let’s say great things are great.”
Scarlett knew why the two of them were so bluffing.
It was because Rize’s eyes, watching from behind, were shining excessively.
It was natural, if only natural, for Douglas and Irina to say such things at the sight of him falling in love with himself.
Of course, Rize wasn’t even thinking about the two of them right now.
“stylish… … !”
Honest feelings flowed from Rize’s mouth.
Rize clenched her fists and recalled the sight of Irvin flying to the pirate ship several times.
Then I decided to make it one of my goals in life.
‘I must follow my father and do that!’
If Irvin heard it, it was a great goal that he could blame himself for giving in to his emotions.
* * *
Tug Pirates.
The names were famous.
No, in reality the captain is more famous.
Still, I thought they wouldn’t have much of a relationship with me, so it was a group that I didn’t bother looking for.
I didn’t even know about today’s raid.
He hadn’t paid any attention to this, and this incident would have been just about shooting threats and robbing passengers of the ship.
But you said you did something like this when I was there and Rize was there?
Also on Rize’s birthday trip?
I had to take responsibility right away.
cooong!
“come out.”
I deliberately trampled the floor and threatened.
When I told them to come out, the pirates exchanged puzzled glances, but they did not rush to attack.
It must be because you saw me jumping from a passenger ship and stepping on a shell to fly all the way to this place.
There was a risk, and if I failed, I would be very embarrassed, so I didn’t do it, but this time I had no choice but to do it.
Because I couldn’t see them firing again.
“Are all the ear holes pickled in seawater? Come out with the shell-shattered bastards and the head you gave the order.”
After saying that, the pirates looked at each other with a murmur, and among them, the bloody-looking guy spat and stepped forward.
“This bitter… … ! Did you think that if you come alone to the pirate ship and ask us to give it to you, we’ll take it! What does a little ground dog look at proud pirates!”
“Ohhh!”
“Even the knights on the sea are no good to us!”
“Have you heard of the Tug Pirates? Your balls, which are the size of beans, will shrivel?”
When one came forward, the pirates all tried to insult me with profanities and obscenities.
I didn’t expect it, but since the first round of negotiations broke down, there was only one thing I could do.
“Then let’s find out.”
“What are you looking for? Even now, stick out your butt and get between my crotch… … !”
Kwaaang!
Ignoring the bullsh*t, I stamped my foot again, and the deck was smashed to reveal the lower level.
I saw the gunner who was hesitant to fire even after loading the shells, so I jumped down and kicked him as hard as I could.
“What, what?!”
“catch! Catch and kill!”
“He went downstairs!”
The pirates inside rushed at me, unfazed, and I grabbed the loaded cannon, pulled it hard, and spun it.
“Uh, uh?!”
“I-I’m crazy!”
As the muzzle headed toward them, they scattered in confusion, and I took the embers from the first one I knocked down and set the cannon on fire.
Kwaaang!
The shells fired with a deafening roar ripped through the interior of the cabin.
I didn’t stop there, and while cutting off the guys in my way, this time I turned the muzzle at the end and fired.
Unlike the shot just before, I saw the pirates coming down the stairs caught in the shells and flying away.
I should have waited a little longer before shooting.
I tried to fire one more shot, but I missed it because of the pirates who came down and surrounded me as if I was surrounded.
“This, this thwart… … !”
“Isn’t this a complete crazy dog?”
“I’ll peel off the skin, dip it in rum, fry it, and eat it!”
So what now?
Originally, I had planned to destroy the cannons and break the masts to get rid of the mobility, but I changed my mind when I saw the guys swearing at me.
If I leave these guys alone, they’ll attack again, but is there any reason to do so?
Wouldn’t it be convenient to make everything with fish rice?
As I was tapping the floor with the tip of my sword while thinking about that, they were also unable to attack hastily, perhaps because of the way I showed them.
“Let me ask you one thing, are there any slaves or captives on this ship?”
“Swallow, what bullsh*t are you talking about again?”
“It looks like he’s trying to find his side, but it’s a pity, but this is a captain with only the elite!”
From noble mtl dot com
“why? Are you finally scared? Do you want me to open the stomach and take out the intestines?!”
Well, then it was reassuring.
I raised my sword and lowered my stance, and as the pirates, who had been noisy at the sight of it, kept their mouths shut, there was a sense of tension in the cabin.
There was no need to use Limit Break against these guys.
As my body was ready to run at any time and waiting for the right time, the patience of the pirates reached its limit first.
“Joe!”
“Oohhh!”
The appearance of the chaotic ones was like a wave.
Fuhuaaak!
All I could do was wade through the waves and paint over the blood.
There were so many pirates that it was annoying to count them all, and at the same time I cut them. Among them, there were those who attacked their own side because their limbs were not aligned, so it saved them a lot of trouble.
As I rampaged once, a circular encirclement was formed around me, and the remaining pirates began to hesitate.
I smirked and flicked my sword, provoking them.
“Have you lived only with your mouth, sea beggars! Aren’t you just this scared to attack? It’s a waste of the seal dicks you guys have eaten so far. Shall I take it off myself?”
The pirates were furious with him, but they couldn’t attack like before.
There were dozens of pirates rolling around on the floor, while I had no scratches, so I realized the difference in skill.
Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to go from my side this time.
The moment I lowered my posture again.
cooong!
A large man came down from above with a dull sound.
His casually grown beard was tied back a little at the ends, and he was holding a wooden barrel of wine in one hand and drinking it down, while holding a single-edged ax in the other hand and slung it over his shoulder.
Decapitator Tug.
As if he didn’t feel any tension at all, he gulped down his drink and tossed the glass roughly.
“Fah! I was sleeping comfortably, but were you the one who woke me up?”
I had no intention of answering.
The moment he lowered his glass, he immediately kicked off the ground and ran out, swinging his sword at his neck.
