Chapter 787 - Visitors In Danger
--Somewhere on the waters around Baymard--
.
The weather was nice and hot.
It was the perfect beach weather that anyone would love.
The weather itself called for peace.
But unlike the sunny ever warm weather, several people only felt cold at the moment.
On a ship, several people were currently under attack by some fierce pirates!
They were just 3 days away from their destination, so why won't fate just let them arrive safely?
All through their journey, they had faced one issue to another.
It was as if the heavens themselves were testing them.
And right now, just when they were almost crossing the finish line, 5 enormous pirate sh.i.p.s surrounded all 3 of their sh.i.p.s.
Presently, they had seen many people sail on what they would call the water roads.
And linking at it, it seemed like Baymard was a very popular place because sh.i.p.s were constantly moving and leaving only within an invisible water path.
It was like they had formed lanes on the water and only chose to travel along those paths.
But they on the other hand were afraid to join in because they didn't know if these strange pale skin people will attack them, capture them or even torture them.
They've already been through a lot since they had begun their travel.
So their only thought was to avoid conflict until they reached their destination.
Worse, they didn't even know if they spoke the same language as these people, so they dared not go close to them.
That's why they sailed very far away from the crowd of sh.i.p.s.
They had chosen a deserted ocean region and had only decided to get closer to the rest when they were hours away from Baymard.
For several weeks and days now, they hadn't met with any issues.
So their plan seemed perfect.
But who would've known that they would meet travelling pirates on these deserted paths?
The worse thing was that they were so far from the other sh.i.p.s that no one would really see whether these pirates were their friends or foes.
So no one knew whether they were under attack or not.
From a distance, everything just looked like tiny dots.
And right now, they felt doomed!
.
The air was tense as everyone quickly sheathed their swords in panic.
On the largest enemy ship, there was a 50 something-year-old man that had the most earrings in his ears, as well as the longest white beard that they had ever seen.
He also had an eye patch and the thickness and longest hair that they had seen on a man.
From the way the pirates acted, it seemed that this was their leader... Or as many would call it, their Captain.
Lucia, Andrew, Javis and their men all looked at the leader intensely.
In their mind, they still hoped that maybe these people weren't here to attack them?
The leader who they had now nicknamed LongBeard, squinted his eyes and looked at them in surprise and delight.
His thoughts were more on how much they would sell as slaves since they were dark-skinned.
They were rare for many.
So they should be more valuable than ordinary pale skin slaves, right?
Who knows... Maybe these dark Skinner people might even make them rich.
Longbeard's eyes twinkled with greed.
"Boys!
Take them down, but don't kill all of them.
They're our precious cargo."
With that, the pirates laughed playfully and made their move.
Lucia held her sword firmly as she watched the invaders jump onto their sh.i.p.s.
No matter what, they had to survive.
How could they die without seeing their saviour?
Then who was going to save their people?
She silently prayed to the heavens for forgiveness for what she was about to do.
.
'Ting!'
She countered her first attack with everything that she had.
All during their stay on that pirate island during winter, she along with her brothers and her men had fought almost every day for months, as they tackle more and more incoming pirates.
But even at that, compared she knew she was still very weak.
In fact, it was actually miraculous that she could survive until now.
These pirates had more years battling than she did, which made her extremely lucky since she was never trained or even had prior experience.
Pain!
Her palms turned red, and her body wobbled painfully from blocking her enemy's attack just once.
Blisters appeared on her delicate palm, making her struggle to hold onto her sword.
The enemy's sheer strength had completely overpowered her.
Was she scared?
Yes!
But she believed that if she used her head (brain), she would definitely be able to come out victorious.
That's why had kept her alive all this while.
She gritted her death and steadied her trembling hands while thinking of how to take down the giant before her.
.
'Ting! Ting! Ting!'
"Hahahahhahahahahahah!
Just look at how your hands are trembling?
Little missy, didn't they tell you
Weapons don't belong in the hands of a mere woman.
You see, I like you.
You'll make a good addition to my bed.
So why but drop the sword before I hurt you?
I don't want to accidentally slice that face of yours, wouldn't I?"
"Shut up!"
'Ting!'
Lucia didn't know what the bastard was saying, but the way he looked at her made her uncomfortable.
She already has a fiance that she loved dearly, okay?
The look in the pirate's eyes made her full utterly disgusted.
As for the pirate, she was even more mesmerized by her.
"Eh?
Little missy, what language are you speaking?
How can it be so pleasing to the ear?
Hahahhhahahah!
I've decided, as I'll ask the Captain for you.
How about that?"
'Pah!'
The pirate was shocked that he had just been struck by Lucia's leg.
He had been paying too much attention to her stunning face and her sword that he forgot about her feet.
Unfortunately for her, her attack wasn't enough to fatally injure him.
The pirate's lips spread wide, as he grinned coldly.
"Good!
I like my women feisty.
But, I'll have to discipline you first.
How dare you strike your master?"
'Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!'
The giant charged even more fiercely than before, proving that he didn't use his full strength earlier on.
This was bad.
Lucia's face turned pale as she was constantly pushed back by the brute.
And soon, she fell on the floor while trembling to lift her sword.
But her enemy was quiet and kicked her weird away before mocking her in the belly.
'Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!'
'Uhh!'
Lucia held her belly in agony, while the brute felt inexplicably happy with the scene before him.
"Hahahhahahaha!
B**ch
How dare you kick me close to my recreational seed bearer?
How dare you a lowly woman think of destroying my generations?
Heh!
Maybe you're like this because you think that you're too pretty for me.
If that's the case, then why don't I redesign that face of yours and force you back to reality?"
As the man was about to strike Lucia's face, her brothers who were also fighting more enemies almost went crazy.
"Lucia!!!!!!"
They yelled out in fright, as they seemed to be watching everything in slow motion.
And just when they thought all hope was lost, something miraculous happened.
'Ting!'
--silence--
(°0°)
Excuse me sir, but who are you?
