CHAPTER 21
While drinking up in their rooms, Thomas can't help but notice how uncomfortable this girl is. She is supposed to be entertaining someone, and yet, she is just sitting there and was drinking booze. This just makes Thomas suspect more of her true identity. Since their personal information are classified, Thomas can't get anything from her as it would be too rude to force her to admit. As they drank, the others came back after a few minutes in private places of the pub. Thomas did not expect it, but it turns out, Henry got seduced too. Thomas laughed as Angelique scolded her brother as he is always like this, a womanizer. While Penny curses at Henry as she is telling that this is his goal all along, to find women out the seas. But Henry defended himself by saying that it was just all because of the alcohol and all, but then,"Alcohol? Oh, please. You only drank a single mug; don't tell me you're drunk after that? When you are one of the crew who always empties our rum supplies." William

CHAPTER 22
The next morning, all woke up in the Sailing Falcon and the Slooper of the Jack Pirates. Everyone has their heads throbbing because of the amount of rum they've consumed last night. Samuel and Henry couldn't even stand up because of the hangover. Thomas and the others such as William, Angelique, Penny, and Jeff stood at the main deck while having a cup of soup they made and was just relaxing. They were just laughing at how the others are puking at the starboard of the ship. They hade one too many drinks last night, not to mention the bill they received after drinking. It was a whopping 200,000 Pendz bill, and that includes everything. Smithy rose to the Falcon and went to get some soup. His head was also throbbing. As they sip their soups, William looked at Thomas,"What now? The girl is owned by Capone, we can't just—"Thomas then chuckled and looked back at William,"We're pirates, William. We plunder and we pilfer. A little bit of piracy and she will be our doctor. And besides, I k

CHAPTER 23
The next morning, everyone woke up and was getting ready for a big fight already. Rumors of a battle between Capone and the Jack Pirates have spread through town, that the bustling Red Island, has seemingly turned into a ghost town. No one dared to go outside, as they don't want to go out and be involved in this fiasco if it was true, which was the case as it is definitely true. Thomas came out of his cabin and examined the decks of the two ships, the ones at the sloop at the port of the Falcon in the harbor, Smithy and his crew are now preparing their guns for battle. And on the Sailing Falcon, everyone is also on the main deck and is either sharpening the weapons, checking the ammo and other battle stuff, some are scrubbing, but Jeff is nowhere to be seen. Thomas then went up to the helm that is above his cabin, and there he saw Jeff building something from scrap."What are you doing?" Thomas asked as he sipped on his coffee,"Oh, something that would be useful later. It is a weapon

CHAPTER 24
As Thomas approaches the impregnable fortress, Capone increased the defenses and decided to use his slaves as part of the barriers of defense, “Aren’t we overdoing it, sir?” Richard asked. Capone chuckled, “If you put it like that, then yes. However, we can never be too careful. This man has gained an infamous reputation in just a few weeks of being a pirate. Even the navy are keeping a close eye on him. He is a person which we cannot underestimate even though he is still a fucking rookie. Not to mention the fact that he is Edward Jack’s son.” Capone replied as he and his officers stood at the balcony. After a few more minutes, Thomas finally reached the gates of this fortress. And with the presence alone, he can tell that Capone has made his defenses to a degree that anyone that will try and dare to go through it think twice. But Thomas came here with all his guts, and he is not really scared of what is going to happen. Because saving Bonney is now his top priority, and since

CHAPTER 25
With the battle already raging down in the mafia’s manor, the citizens of Red Island are watching the battle from afar through some kind of a television, it is a big screen. They are just shocked and terrified of what is happening. Blood and bodies are already everywhere, and the battle just began at least 10 minutes ago. It has been 10 minutes, and those 10 minutes are as brutal as those shown in recent wars in various kingdoms. It was just brutal, and it is something that is not supposed to be seen by the children. However, everyone is watching, even the infants cradling in their mothers’ arms are there, witnessing something that might be the cause of their liberation from the cruel and tyrant Capone, although he really isn’t the leader or mayor of this island. He assumed his power 13 years ago, and since then, his brutal leadership has led the island to be considered as one of the most dangerous islands in the whole world, and it is not something they are to be proud of. The people

CHAPTER 26
With everything already taking place, no one is staying put, even the citizens. They can all hear the thunderous screams, clashes of swords, and explosions from afar. But that is nothing compared to what is happening on the battlefield. The screams of the people being killed, all of them had their loyalties to their boss, and yet, they don’t have the guts to die in the hands of their enemies. The Jack Pirates are in control of the battle with it comes to dealing with the small fries. However, the officers are a different story. Everyone is now bleeding after just an hour into the fight, and it is not something to be happy about. Because if they are struggling to even scratch their enemies, then their chance of winning will be slim. William is having a hard time fighting Richardson, and this is the first since his last battle. He can’t land anything on Richardson, and that is him also using his boon. “What, are you tired already? It’s embarrassing, you are even considered as the Vice-c

CHAPTER 27
With the feeling of fear for the first time, the hybrid then felt the excitement surging through its veins. Its wings flapped wide, and the grin on its face became wider. “Thomas Jack, I’ll remember that name alright!” the hybrid screeched as it then launched forward for an attack. With a deep breath, Thomas stepped to his right and just swiftly avoided the attack of the hybrid. Earlier, because of uncertainty, Thomas was unable to avoid and become more agile. But right now, he is almost as light as a feather that is being blown by a wind. Every movement he makes, it was just so flawless, that the hybrid started getting sweaty and the exhaustion is now evident. With his previous intense battles, Thomas has learned a lot, and because of those battles…he became stronger. Parry…dodge…duck…jump…and slash. Finally, the hybrid got wounded by the blade of Thomas. “That sting, quite a sword you have there. I would like to add it to one of my talons!” the hybrid laughed. Now it all makes

CHAPTER 28
“What do you mean the son of Capone? Our source—” “Your source would not know, of course. Bonney is young, she will not know all the secrets. Do you think that a man like Capone would only do heinous crimes against other people? No. Because making me a lab-rat when I was still 4 is something he calls fun.” The hybrid says. “So, if that’s the case. Why’d you still want to stick around your father after all the things he has done and keeps doing to you?” Thomas asked. “He’s my father—” “He may be your father, but he does not see you as his son.” “I can’t leave him. He is my father, which is why I must stay loyal!” “Being his son does not justify the fact that he made you into a monster!” Thomas argued. He feels sympathy for some reason. The one in front of him is a monster who has killed more than a hundred men at least, and yet, he feels pity. Because the person in front of him is blinded by fear and trauma, which makes him more of a monster because of it. His wrongful loyalty to

*PROMOTION*
The commander of the 16th division approved of Vincent’s departure immediately since he is either annoyed or just doesn’t care less about him. Vincent will travel to the Central Continent by boat with the monster that’s in this cage and then they’ll take a helicopter to reach the HW of the Amazonian Tigers in Eagle City. It was 4 in the morning and Vincent and the monster is already aboard the boat. Trevor came along without him so that Vincent could have at least someone by his side in that time. Even if it’s Vincent’s sister who is the captain of that squad, Vincent is still impulsive and might do rash decisions, that’s why Trevor needs to be by his leader’s side. The boat then moved on and they started to travel by water. Trevor and Vincent are at this big room on the boat and as Trevor was going to read some magazines, he noticed something that looked weird. He looked at Vincent who is seated across the rooms. He was holding for dear life on the frame of the chair as he closed his

*FINAL PROMOTION*
Vincent brought his injured classmate to the school clinic. Once he lay her on the bed, he immediately went outside to leave the girl alone with the school nurse. He then started to walk back to his next class hoping that Champ has brought his bag with him so he wouldn’t have to climb ten floors just to get his bag in an occupied room. The bell rang and Vincent is still at the second floor of the Queen’s building and his class is supposed to be at the Bravery building’s fifth floor. Despite hearing the bell ring, Vincent just relaxed and kept on walking until he took a right and suddenly a panting girl bumped into him. The girl fell on the ground, and she struggled to stand up, maybe because of exhaustion or maybe there’s another group of bullies chasing her. Vincent balled his fists, getting ready to attack. He casually faced the hallway that the girl came from and no one was there, he looked at the girl again and noticed that she is his classmate, he doesn’t know the name but Vincen
