The Great Jewel

CHAPTER 11

"Is the prisoner ready for transport?" asked a muscular and blond man wearing a soldier camouflage fatigue and then a white and gold cape that says,

"Righteousness"

"Yes, captain, sir. The prisoner is ready for transport tonight at t in the evening." Angelique replied.

"Good, now, make us something to eat, we are starving as our food storage got emptied." Says this man that wears the same fatigue and has long black hair.

"Hurry up, you damn siblings! Be useful!" bellowed the man with ginger hair.

The siblings just nodded and went to their ship. As they passed through the marines, one of them suddenly spanked Angelique's butt and the other one groped her breasts. Thankfully, they let go immediately as they were too hungry to let their horniness get the best of them. When the siblings reached their ship's kitchen, Angelique couldn't help but cry. She has suffered enough, and even though they have already transferred units, these things still happen. Samuel doesn't know what to do either. He is too ashamed of himself, as he is the oldest between them and he is also the brother, and yet, he could even move a finger against those people. He is too scared; the marines are on a whole lot of different level. Since the marine corps focuses more on combat and combat alone, they are the most powerful group under the navy. And yet, even though they are under the navy, the marine corps of this world is the dominant force of all soldiers. The central government is in favor of them, since they are much stronger than the navy itself which they are under, everyone in the force just treats them with utter respect. However, just like idiots, there are some that abuses the power that has been given to them to harass people they see as weaker than them. And that is Samuel and Angelique. The lady lieutenant sat on the kitchen floor as she tried to stop her sobbing, because if she is to reveal to the others that she just cried, they would underestimate her even further and the bullying will just get worse. After a few minutes, Samuel finally finished cooking 5 dishes for their officers. Angelique washed her face and regained her composure as she and Samuel went down the ship to deliver the food to their officers. As they arrive and was putting the food on the table that has been set up, the man with the long black hair suddenly grabbed Angelique's hip waist and then pulled her towards him. Angelique was forced to sit on this man's lap, who is First Lieutenant Jimuel, one of the strongest marine officers in the sea of Koes. This man then started to molest Angelique. And just a few feet away was Samuel, and he was trying to contain his emotions as he really wants to kill this man. However, he is enduring it as if they fought these men right now, they would dead in just a minute as they don't stand a chance, especially against the strongest captain of the marines here. Captain Reggie, the blonde superior then noticed the boiling blood of Samuel, then he looked at one of his subordinates aggressively touching Angelique.

"Lieutenant Angelique, please go to the storage room of your ships and check if you guys have enough ammo. Because if you don't, we have some extra from our ships. Take Lieutenant Samuel with you." Reggie ordered.

Jimuel sighed as his captain really is a killjoy. Jimuel did one last touch on the poor lieutenant's breasts as the siblings went on their way to the ship. As they passed through the hundreds of soldiers under them, they can clearly see that even them are very pissed on what those people are doing. The siblings arrived at the storage room, as Angelique just burst into tears and can't hold it anymore. Samuel hugged his little sister as she sobbed with her too. They are frustrated as they can't move a single finger against them. And then, Angelique then looked at her brother,

"Sam, we will fight them later. We will commit mutiny."

Meanwhile, at the western village, the barrels are now being delivered from the princess to the pirates. Thomas counts the barrels, and the 250 are complete. Before they bring it in their ship, Thomas gave 10 barrels to the village as token of appreciation for accommodating them like this and helping them out. After doing that, the Jack Pirates stored their ship with the remaining 240 barrels of fine milk, and they will sell it where it is expensive, and the money they would earn is what they would share amongst each other.

***

It is finally the time, Penny with her group and then the Jack Pirates are now heading to where they discussed as the time of transport closes. They are all ready, no one will hesitate. Because if they win this, it would be a big achievement, but if they fail, then it would be the biggest mistake they have committed and the pirates would be imprisoned after a week of being pirates, and that would be embarrassing. They are now in position, while hundreds of navy soldiers are marching through the empty street and was now pulling a big cage at the middle of them. Thomas knew it won't be that easy to get to them as the security would be tight as the man that is being move is dangerous. Thomas saw the man inside the cage. A bulky man with black hair just like Captain Keaton, his brown eyes are all but looking at the floor of his cage as he just accepted his fate that once he arrives there, he will immediately be executed. Henry knows all of this. Since he was born, he was already hated by many, especially the royal family, for being a descendant of a notorious pirate that implanted a clue in this island. However, what the others did not know is that the clue is not a thing, it is a person. And the clue is Henry himself, he knows the location of the next island that needs to be reached by the pirates looking for the treasure, however, Henry is not the only clue. Only one pirate knows this clue, and that pirate is now getting closer to the treasure as they took a shortcut. Henry has never been ashamed of his status as a descendant. When he was 15, he joined the gate guard as the king acknowledged his strength for some reason. But then, 5 years ago, hordes of pirates came to look for the clue. Those evil pirates plundered the cities, the kingdom was almost at the verge of collapse back then, but that is the reason on how he met the princess. The only person who was so kind to him other than his mother. They spent a lot of time together, they shared common interests of milking the cows, and so they became best friends. However, just a few months ago, the king knew the connection between his daughter and Henry, so, to protect Tina, the king imprisoned Henry and is now being transferred to a different prison. He did not do anything wrong; it is just his blood made him a criminal that he is not. Henry knows that Tinas would go such lengths to save him, but it is too late already. Even if he is saved, Henry will not be safe in this island anymore. So, he is better off being transferred somewhere where the kingdom is safe, especially Tina. The rescue group has now split up. Thomas went to the right and was hiding behind crates, but then, that is when he noticed something. 4 men wearing camouflaged uniforms. Jeff then looks, and he quickly recognized who the blond man at the middle was,

"Cap. That is Captain Reggie, the strongest marine captain in Koes. And the other 3 besides him are his underlings, the three are all First Lieutenants. Then, the two navy lieutenants Penny was talking about." Jeff explained.

The group gasped, as this made the retrieval operation impossible. With over 800 men and 6 high ranking soldiers, it would be impossible to retrieve Henry, especially when he is at the very heart of the group where the hundreds and the 6 officers. Everyone is now hesitating to act; however, the Jack Pirates are still waiting for the orders of their captain. Thomas just looked at the soldiers and was calculating a plan. And then, as he accidentally raised his head to high, Angelique who was at the right side of the line saw him. When Thomas made eye contact with her and she did something, Thomas knew they had to continue the mission. Angelique winked at her, she knows they are here, however, Thomas sensed no hostility in her, and that wink was just a casual wink. It was if she was signaling Thomas to make his move. He turned to his group and told them that they would continue the assault. Because Thomas knows, mutiny will rise once they attack. Penny then sighed as this is a suicide mission, however, it is worth a shot. And she does not why, but she is trusting Thomas a lot right now. In any case, Thomas released the signal by releasing firecrackers up in the air. As the firecrackers blow up in midair, the soldiers stopped and looked up. At first, they thought it was just a simple celebration of the citizens that a prisoner is now leaving their kingdom. However, Reggie is feeling something else. And without any warning, and without him ever expecting it, the middle part of the line suddenly exploded. All the officers were blown away. Captain Reggie and his 3 officers regained their footing, and that is when they saw, 600 soldiers and 2 lieutenants, committing mutiny,

"You damn woman wretch! Do you know what you have all done?! Mutiny's punishment is public hanging! You dirty bitch!" bellowed Jimuel.

But then,

"We got much more to worry about, my lieutenants. Look around, this is an ambush." Reggie claimed.

And sure enough, they are now surrounded by the Jack Pirates, with the captain, Thomas Jack standing in front of them under the full moon. The marines and their remaining 200 soldiers prepared themselves for them. Thomas then drew his sword, and pointed the tip at the captain,

"Jack Pirates! Plunder them!"
