30. The feast

A super-strong, full of hatred, powerful punch from this big mountain of muscle flown in the direction of the pirate.

The moment Roman’s hand should have hit the pirate a cracking noise was heard. The crowd gasped and everybody expected that the pirate’s skull cracked. A few seconds of silence and a terrifying scream of pain echoed across the waves.

“You know, you have some balls, too, I guess…” the pirate spoke in a low raspy voice.

What cracked was not the pirate’s skull. It was Roman’s hand crushed by the pirate’s.

“Cap’n’, do we raid them now? They open’ fire?” Kriyvski asked preparing his battle cry.

“Wha’? Kriyvski, do you remember why I’m missin’ my lef’ eye?!” the captain asked.

“Wha’? Why ya askin’ now??” the crew member replied.

“Big guy, do you know why I’m missing my left eye?”

“Arghhh!! Curses! You’re cursed, that’s why!”

“WRONG!” he looked at the lady and asked her “Do you, my lady, know why I miss my left eye?”

She was too scared to speak. She said nothing. Andrey wonde
