“What kind of deal are we making? Are we going to hold off attacking each other? Or do you have something else in mind?” The one who had asked was General Abdur. He was not only concerned about the arrival of their leaders and the request of avoiding or hurting their opponents, but from… environmental enemies as well. The two looked at the shore, not far from the boat. As their eyes met the creatures in the water, both the General and Pirate Tommy glanced their eyes once more at the faraway land, where figures of four-legged creatures and the like lurked within their surroundings. They weren’t alone on this island.“Even if we fight against each other to the death, I believe those… monsters up ahead would be the victor, not us. Have you fought one of the marine beasts before, General Abdur?” asked Pirate Tommy.Little did General Abdur know that Tommy and the rest of the pirates led by Captain Arata had fought thousands of these swarms of creatures. And they were fucking annoying.
“FOR THE TIME BEING, UNTIL WE CAN HEAR ANY NEWS FROM OWARI, WE SHALL TREAT THESE PIRATES AS TEMPORARY COMRADES! WE WILL NOT SEE THEM AS ENEMIES, RATHER THEY ARE NOW GUESTS! LET US CELEBRATE WITH OUR SUCCESS AND PREPARE A BANQUET FOR EVERYONE!” Everyone cheered when the soldiers from the Kingdom heard such blissful news. The same had been experienced by the pirates when Tommy told them what had happened between him and General Abdur and they were now free to wander towards the camp.The only unspoken rules pirates and soldiers had to follow were… teaming up against monsters or intruders, exchanging goods and resources such as alcohol, spices, meat, and other food, and exchanging information regarding the mission on hand if there were any. The latter could be talked about, but the former were something they could figure out.As soon as the two representatives announced the word, the pirates stepped out of the ship and went towards the soldier’s base. Other pirates remained on the vesse
“Is it true… that the pirates and soldiers for now aren’t… fighting?” Those were the words Francoise asked, and so was the rest of the team. Margarette, Azure, Rudy, and Odette had their eyes widened in surprise. But this time, it was more of a dumbfounded moment for them.“I don’t understand… Why on Kepler are we… having a truce?” Azure still couldn’t believe what she had heard from the General and Tommy. Azure knew Tommy would never lie to her… unless his family was at stake. But she doubted that. She somehow knew Tommy would not mess it up, since he was with her by the time they were still working with Captain Israel and Captain Blackbeard. So he wouldn’t lie… Azure and the others wanted to know the bottom of this… surprise. However, there wasn’t any more they could learn from here. In fact, the pirates and the soldiers wanted to know more about the situation with their leaders, which was the other way around.But since there was no fight that would be done, General Abdur releas
After the conversation the pirates and the knights had, they continued conversing with each other. But, at the same time, Wexi made her own move. Tommy and the others barely knew who Wexi was. And when she disappeared, the only explanation Master Wexi told the pirates was… she had something to do besides following orders from Owari. And she wasn’t lying. But what Master Wexi had in mind was… to inform Owari what had happened back at the camp and the soldiers had the pirates in their grasp. Even though, on the outside, the soldiers were working together with the pirates, the knights from the Kingdom still had the upper ground. At least, that was what she thought.However, there was one thing she had to think about. And that was…Making the most out of it. It won’t be too long until Wexi and her subordinates meet Duke Owari and Captain Arata on the heated battlefield…………….Owari and Arata’s SideThe pirates led by Captain Arata and the soldiers from Duke Owari’s side met and had an agr
Captain nodded to himself as he knew those troubles and hard work he had been through was worthwhile. This was the fruit of their labour. After defeating countless monsters and running away from those soldiers from the Kingdom, he could finally have the Lunar Herb - that one thing he needed… to cure Kirameki. But before Arata could even tell Kirameki to digest the herb, his sister looked him in the eyes and uttered, “Are you sure… you’re going to give this… to me?” Kirameki knew this herb was only for her. But she saw what the system had shown her older brother. She knew that somehow this herb could be made as a bundle of potion, so the entire population who had the same sickness or even worse illness than Kirameki could be cured. Nevertheless, Kirameki cared about her brother. So she left her fate to him. It didn’t take a few seconds before Arata nodded once more and faintly smiled. He had already made up his mind, and there was nothing that could stop him. This time, Kirameki wasn
Owari had finally reached the treasure island and found the odd-looking skull. And when his eyes glided on the ground, he noticed footsteps belonging to three people - two for children and another for a youngster. After what the scouts did, he knew Arata had finally arrived at the chest, and maybe he had already collected the treasure. But there weren’t any exits besides the one they had gone through. So Owari knew he would meet Arata soon enough. And he did. “Captain Arata… I know you’re in here somewhere… Leave my child alone, and the two of us could have the fight of our lifetime!” Owari didn’t care if Rex was listening to him or not. The only thing he wanted was to exact revenge on the death of his wife by killing all pirates and the people related to them. But for now, Owari’s focus was on Arata alone. As soon as Arata heard the sound of Owari’s voice… he immediately went to the two children and whispered. “Okay, listen. Kirameki… Rex…You two should hide somewhere away from h
“I know… And I don’t care.”Owari didn’t give any chance for Arata to move as he rushed to the side, stretched his arms, and conjured his spell. The old mayor knew that casting his abilities willy-nilly would either be met with an opposing prowess by Arata or something that could surprise him and end the fight that soon.So Owari didn’t go all out and studied Arata’s moves. The spell he had cast was none other than a blue fireball, enough to even call a volcano a joke. These flames should suffice in burning an active volcano or even turn a demolished island into dust if Owari really wanted to. He had used this spell against an adult dragon. And it died. The only time the ability was negated was when the dragon had known a water-type incantation, and that foiled Owari’s plans.Even though his spells were just a minimum of his arcane, due to his overwhelming mana, Arata should have no chance in defeating him. The only way for Arata to win this fight was… to have more power than Owari hi
“Owari! I can do this all day if I have to! Nobody’s going to win like this!”Saying that Arata could do this all day may have triggered. So when Owari knew that was also the case, he tried to exhaust Arata. But he couldn’t. Despite Owari’s effort, Arata continued launching the same attacks all over again, as if he was just a mimic - a copy of the original. But Owari was better, and he knew this.So… instead of continuing this magical fight, Owari had to make another move. He created the distance between him and Arata and soon brandished his cutlass sword. “Come at me, Arata! I know you have a fucking weapon with you! Use it, and let’s see who’s the victor!”Arata wasn’t a stranger when it came to using the sword. He too had a sabre in his hand, which he used to defeat enemies and kill monsters. And now, he had to defeat his rival - a Japanese dude who also got reincarnated in this world.Arata did the same and showed his sabre. It was an irony. Pirates should wield a cutlass sword,
