Chapter 11 (2/2)

They had become imprisoned by the sofa.

I’m also a prisoner so I can’t really complain.

After everyone finished their preparation, I issued a command as the Big Boss.

「Starboard!! Target the slave s.h.i.+p on the starboard! You guys, don’t hurt the slaves!」(TL: Starboard = front-right side of a s.h.i.+p. Google it)

「「「AYE AYE SIR!!!」」」

The 『Pirates of the Round Table』 turned to the slave s.h.i.+p and ran straight using wing magic. Everyone was armed. They had eaten their fill and the morale is good. Still, let’s not be careless.

***

「P-Pirates!!!」

A watchman on the slave s.h.i.+p yelled with a loud voice. In response, the crew showed up with their swords, bows, and staffs.

「Don’t let them get close! Ready!! Fire!!」

The slave s.h.i.+p crew put magical power in a cylinder and release stone cannons, but all of them are blocked by my 『Gravity Wall』 and sink into the ocean.

「We need to make them spit out where they got these slaves from! Try not to kill all of them! If it’s impossible then you can kill them! Forward!! Everyone, Forward!!!」

I jumped on the slave s.h.i.+p while stretching the 『Gravity Wall』 before the pirate s.h.i.+p hit it, meanwhile Paddle and Peddle created a wind barrier to reduce the impact on our s.h.i.+p.

I hopped on the slave s.h.i.+p and slash a crew and a wizard in the back with my 『Sonic Blade』.

Thanks to Seven Arthur’s special ability『Hold Back』 the bodies are not cut, they were alive but groaning in pain.

Following me, Barbarossa and Roxas jumped on the slave s.h.i.+p.

(TL: Need help on this one: 俺の後に続いてBarbarossaやRoxasも飛び乗り、暇な時に練習していたのか船員を感電させて身動きを封じたり、炎上させてそのまま海に落とし消火もさせたりしてた。)

There are about 10 slave s.h.i.+p crew on board, they should be knocked out in less than a minute.

Suddenly a muscular man showed up 「You are strong. However, I am the grea- 」 but he was knocked down after eating a 『Sonic Blade』. I wonder what he was trying to say…

After tying all the crew, we discovered 10 slaves in captivity.

Apparently, they were frightened knowing that we were pirates.

「Don’t be scared. Even though we are pirates, we are fighting the empire. For now, let’s get you guys out of here」

「You’ll let us out?」

「Can I go home? Can I meet papa and mama?」

「Yeah. We will take you as far as this s.h.i.+p can go. From there, we will ask the guards in town, is that OK?」

「Un! Thank you, Mr. Good Pirate!」

Good pirates, eh? How can a pirate be “good”?

「Big Boss, this is a magical cage. If someone try to force it open, it will cause pain to the slaves inside. We can’t pick the lock」

Paddle who was a.n.a.lyzing the cage told me.

Magical cage is it? Do you really need a key?

I took out the 『Thieves King’s Wire』 that I used when jail breaking and inserted it into the keyhole, the door clicked and opened.

When the jail door opened, the slave s.h.i.+p captain looked at me in disbelief.

「No f.u.c.king way… The key is in my shoe soles!」

He hid it in a troublesome place. Maa, if I didn’t have this 『Thieves King’s Wire』 I could interrogate him and search the whole s.h.i.+p for it. But because it’s troublesome, I just used my special wire and opened it without effort.

All the slaves are women and children.

There were no 『Subordinate Collar』 but all of them were tied with rope. Several people seem to be beaten… painfully.

『All Area Heal』

They were surprised when I used wide area recovery magic, especially the beautiful looking woman with golden fox tail. Maybe she’s a mage.

I was glad that there were no scar left, but I must not use this carelessly.

「Barbarossa, please bring them to the s.h.i.+p. Roxas, prepare the bath and some hot meal. Everyone else will help Barbarossa and Roxas. Someone interrogate the crew. Find out where they capture the slaves. You may do whatever you want with them」

Everyone nods and moves according to my instructions. I headed to the captain’s cabin and tried to find any material about the empire, but someone shows up on the map at the end of the s.h.i.+p.

***

I began to walk following the map but I ran into a wall. There’s a person. But it’s a dead end.

I looked back and stared at the captain, he panicked and turned his face away. Suspicious…

「Hey, what is in this thing?」

「N-nothing… It’s just a wall」

He looked even more suspicious…

I remembered a karate move and hit the wall with it. When my fist hit, the wall crumbled down with a loud noise.

Before me was a small room and a single prison.

However it was not a normal prison, chains with some pattern were wrapped around the iron grid and created some sort of seal.

I got into the small room and saw several dull silver lights s.h.i.+ning on a body.

There was a woman hung on a cross.

Surprise surprise… Someone stole my translation…

I don’t know whether to feel grossed or honored, then I decided to get angry instead.

Lastly, thank you for supporting me
