16 Stab i (1/2)

”KYAHAHAHAHAAHA! Fullmont! I bet you never thought the day would come where all of us got together!” A heavy voice sounded out through the sky.

”All of you?” Fullmont raised a brow.

”Correct! For it is I! Red-Beard!” Shiro blinked as he looked at the man who really did have a red beard.

”And I! Black-Beard!” He turned his head to see a guy with a black beard

”And I! Yellow-Beard!”

”Blue-Beard!”

”Neck-Beard!”

”Tentacle-Beard!”

”Rainbow-Beard!”

Many other pirate captains with beards announced themselves from their own ships.

”Oi, you don't have a beard!” Shiro pointed out

”You brat! I'm Lip-Beard!” the man retorted

”THAT'S JUST A MUSTACHE!”

”And I am No-Beard!” this time a woman actually announced herself.

”And I is Prepubescent-Beard!” A toddler announced as he actually had a beard on him.

”So, you lot think you can take down the Vilmark do ya?” Fullmont spoke as three golden eyes manifested above him. A powerful pressure seemed to drown the skies as the other Captains released their own eyes in response.

Shiro felt himself buckle down as the ungodly pressure forced him to the ground. He clenched his teeth as he tried to resist it with all his power. However in an instant, all the pressure disappeared. Shiro looked up to the sound of footsteps approaching the front of the deck where Fullmont stood at.

”You guys might want to consider trying another time, since I'm here.” Miya stood infront of Fullmont as 6 golden eyes flared out above her. The power from her eyes completely invalidated the combined pressure of all the other Pirate Captains.

”Oh but you see this Captain Beard, came here just for you. Sword Empress!” A larger ship bursted through the dark clouds as Shiro saw the sight of a man who's entire face was literally just a beard.

”Oh? Are you sure you aren't overestimating yourself?” She smirked at his dramatic entrance.

”Aye. If I were alone, then there would be no chance of defeating you.” The Beard-faced Captain admitted with his arms behind his back.

”However, each Captain here has the same ironclad level 100 skill that boosts all fellow pirates here. Since we've all come together, you can imagine how serious we are about making this your grave.” From within his dark beard, his eyes could be seen glowing straight towards her.

Miya Sushi's confident expression didn't change as she placed her hands on the handle of her swords. ”Then why don't you show me your resolve before I cut you down.” Her eyes flashed menacing light as the pirates expressions hardened

*BOOM*

However, it wasn't any of these powerhouses who made the first move. Instead, on the deck of one of the pirate ships. A cold explosion startled everyone as the entire ship started to freeze over. The cry of a dragon sounded out as the Sword Empress smiled at the sight of Shiro assaulting a Captain completely out of his level.

”EXPERIENCE!!” was his battle-cry

Shiro POV

Okay, perhaps I didn't think this through. But dear gods that was fun! I think to myself as I pointed my blade straight at the tentacle-bearded Captain.

”PREPARE YOURSELF CUZ I AM BOUT TO WRECK YOUR SHIT!” I shouted despite being outclassed. I've noticed that the pirates that I froze over seemed to be breaking out of the ice. I'm guessing that thing they were talking about earlier about buffing their fellow pirates wasn't a bluff. These guys are pretty tough, if I didn't have Fafnir's armor then I would be dead right now.

”Kill the brat before he damages the ship any further!” I've noticed that while there are barriers to protect the ships from ranged attacks, it doesn't stop people from straight up jumping right through them.

I created two clones but they immediately shattered when the damn tentacle beard bastard used one of those floating eyes again! Seriously, the fuck is that anyway!? It's honestly supressing me, but I think Miya offset the pressure so it's not as bad as before.

Dodging magic blasts and kicking pirates overboard, I notice that I'm starting to get surrounded here. I don't want to waste too much energy on just this ship, but I might have to. Before I could use up more energy, someone seemed to have dropped right onto the group of pirates as the sheer weight of their armor crushed them to the next floor.
