“Had enough?” I muttered, and stood in front of the four mercenaries struggling to pick themselves back up from the ground. “I’m assuming that should be enough to crush your pride. Or do you want me to trample it more than you could ever imagine?”I was… caught in a bad mood from these people. And when I finally lashed out my worries, I fought and overwhelmed them. Thankfully, I pulled my punches. But the next time they wronged me, these mercenaries could kiss their limbs goodbye. When the dust settled, I became the victor and the last person standing out of it all. I didn’t even have to use my sabre from the fight. I overwhelmed these imbeciles alone using only one spell from my [Corsair] ability, which blasted them with ten times the damage against the wizard.The man, who I assumed was the leader of their pack, shook his head and crawled towards me. “No… Please… We had enough,,, Please don’t… kill us.”These mercenaries and the merchant understood that I was already an enemy of th
Azure and I walked back to the Abandoned Barnacle and met the rest of the crew. A few days had already passed, and we were now ready to set sail. We didn’t have to wait for the merchant to run, even though a lot of money was placed on the table and a freaking project would occur. Azure really thought the chieftain would handle it all and he wasn’t the type of person to run after holding a large sum of money in his hands. I thought he was going to be a governor that would collect all funds and use it for his own benefit. But he was dealing with the pirates and the people. And this was a different world, and everyone around here, specifically the ones following Captain Israel, were kind people. Our next stop was the Black Grim Dragon’s nest, right beside the Hundred Island of Sand Trek. The proceeding mission would lead us back from whence we had come from in order for us to collect the Lunar herb marked on the map. Not to mention, it seemed we had more pirates on the deck. These peop
Amidst all of this, Kirameki went to me with a worried face. My little sister followed me to the forecastle. She heard everything. Azure was baffled and had her eyes widened in surprise, unsure if this was part of the plan. But I let it be and told Azure everything was alright. “Don’t worry. I plan on telling Kirameki about this in the near future… The moment just became fast forward, since Kirameki is already here to listen to it. Now, return to the deck and tell everyone everything’s alright. I just have to talk for a short while with my sister. I’ll come up right after. And tell them to avoid visiting this place unless it's urgent.” “Okay, Ca… Arata. We also have a surprise for you upstairs. We’ll be waiting for you.” Azure then came back to the deck and attended to the pirates and prepared the ship to an immediate sail. Kirameki and I were left alone inside the forecastle. My sister wanted to say something, so she went behind me and wrapped her arms around my body. She then
Third Person Point of View______________________________Captain Israel met her fall and was no longer the second Captain of the ocean. But she was replaced by a man who had been transported in that very world. His name was Captain Arata. The moment the pirates chanted his name was the moment everyone knew what was about to come. Rumour spread like wildfire, and it had also reached the Governor of the Kingdom. A man sat inside in his municipality, with a pile of notes resting on his deck. It was a peaceful afternoon. He was about to finish his work when a messenger came and disrupted his peace.“S-Sir! G-Governor! Thank goodness, you’re here!” the courier panicked, and fell flat on the floor. By the time he found his footing, the messenger fixed himself and caught his breath.“This better be good. Tell me you’ve found the pirates, or else I’ll have you deported to whence you’ve come from.”The man, who was the governor, was in a pretty bad mood. After all, he had finished hundreds…
Prologue Owari Ryutarou___________________________“You know the difference between watching a documentary of a lion eating a zebra and a zebra running away from a lion?” the man in front asked me a question, while casually walking on the aisle of corpses and bones piled like a carpet. This place was called Skull Island. Even an elementary student would guess the name of the island unlike some buffoons I knew. “It’s the fact where you choose which side you are on. If you first watched the zebra getting eaten by the lion, you’d feel tragic for the zebra. But if you watched the lion eating the zebra, you’d say it’s the circle of life."The sound of heavy wind and rain rang in my ears, a testament to the power and strength of the forces of nature. But really though, it was better than listening to whatever nonsense this nutjob standing over me was spewingAs I came to, I found myself on the ground, having been beaten by the fellow in the pirate hat. I tried to stand up, only to feel m
Owari’s Journey Begins!_________________________________I could still remember that day. I was six years old when I first went to my elementary school, and my older brother, Fubuki Ryutarou, was a college student. However, he also had a part time job at the nearest convenience store. Fubuki had been juggling those two things all by himself just to cater what we needed inside the house. We lived in an apartment that could fit in an elephant. It was also the cheapest one my brother could afford. But I didn’t care about any of it. All I wanted was for me to live with my brother, and I would be the happiest kid in town.After our parents died, it was just Fubuki and me. Fubuki made a decision, and he planned on finishing his school while helping me get any job that I wanted. He became my brother and a parent. I wanted to help him and asked if I could find myself a part-time job as soon as I become a highschool student, but Fubuki insisted that I should focus on my studies and top every
Owari Ryutarou After 30 years later ________________________ “Have the medicine ready,” I uttered, and instructed the man to do as I said. “I want to see my patients, pronto, and see if it would work this time.” “As you command, sir.” The secretary beside me wanted to refuse, but couldn’t, since I owned the place and they were working for me. As we marched on the labyrinth hallway, we eventually reached the end. And that was where my laboratory was located. The drug I had been working on was called “Miracle Drug”. It would not only cure cancer but other sickness as well without receiving any repercussions or side effects to the human body. Some scientists believed this was impossible. But those fools didn’t know the value of my work. I was superior then and more intelligent than those dimwitted civilians! I suggested those colleagues of mine examine the drug inside a live human, but they offered a cadaver. A fucking dead body won’t do shit for my medicine. Were they mocking me
I expected that the Miracle Drug would be finished by tomorrow morning, before the sun could even show up in the sky. Until then, I had to prepare myself for the speech and show to the world what I had done… The families of those criminals who had died received compensation just to make them shut up. Nobody should know what was happening inside this laboratory. At least, that was what I had suspected. Until someone leaked the happenings through the whole world. The moment I got out from the laboratory, dozens of police cars waited for me outside. And it wasn’t just them. There were also reporters standing by, filming the rest of what was about to happen. Right next to these journalists were scientists and other physicians that I was not familiar with. “Mister Owari Ryutarou, we have a police warrant, and you are under arrest! You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against
