Chapter 38: Pirate

Editor: Atlas Studios

Da Fei glanced through the post against him, expressionless. He was not surprised. After all, Da Fei was the man who treated the entire server.

All he did was PK him till his level dropped to zero, was it not? Did they think they could verbally abuse him to death? And they wanted to chase him all over the server? What a joke! That was why he said that local servers were too small. However, this could not be compared to the past. He was a professional player who was playing to make a living now. If he had too many enemies, that would make things difficult for him. Although he only had one enemy now, his popularity was simply too dazzling. Even if he did not kill others, others would want to kill him. That would be really troublesome. Damn Raging Sea of Blood, he was really good at killing with a borrowed knife!

The important matter on hand was to find a way to get rid of his Red Name. He had collected a lot of rare Boss information. If he sold them, it should increase his Reputation by quite a bit. Regardless, it was information left over from the past when he played. It was not so easy to take him down.

Then, Da Fei continued watching the Epic Hero's interview and sighed.

—System Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are three unknown ships approaching you, please be alert!

Unknown ships? Da Fei was shocked. He ran to the deck and looked through his telescope. Indeed, three ships were approaching him from his left, front, and right!

A sailboat! Most suitable for a Pirate!

Some affluent large pirate ships were no different from ordinary Kingdom warships. As long as they did not fly flags, it was difficult to identify them. But, if it was a sailboat, it must belong to a Pirate. A sailboat referred to a boat with sails on the deck and a rowing room in the bottom cabin. The two rows of long oars protruding from the bottom of the ship made it look like a large centipede. The advantages of this kind of boat were, needless to say, the ability to use both wind power and manpower. It was also as fast as a dragon boat in a race! The advantage was especially obvious when traveling against the wind. In short, if one was targeted, it was unlikely that they would be able to escape. A battle would be inevitable.

The disadvantages were also obvious. After all, the bottom cabin would need to row the boat and so, the draft would be very shallow. It would not be able to withstand strong waves and so would not be suitable for sailing in the ocean. Therefore, it was easy for a merchant ship to avoid it. All it had to do was stay away from shallow waters. Another disadvantage was that the ship was not tall due to the shallow draught. It would be difficult to board a large ship with high sides, and it required the pirates to have a certain amount of combat skills.

Da Fei had been targeted! He would not be able to escape. In addition, it was a three-sided attack. There was no way he could win the battle. What should he do?!

Da Fei was momentarily stunned. The Great White Shark appeared, and now the pirates were approaching as well!

System, how can I believe that you are not putting on a show?

—Boom! Boom! Boom! Three black signal flares on the three pirate ships shot straight up into the sky trailing black smoke. Although he did not understand what it meant, he was certain it was not a good sign.

They were getting closer. Da Fei could already see the deck of the pirate ship through his telescope. There were numerous pirates on its mast. As it was hard to board a big ship due to the sailboat's short hull, the pirates were all standing on the mast. Once they made contact, they would cast out cables with claws on them and trapeze over to the target's mast or deck like acrobats. They could also slide down or climb up like Tarzan. It was a hazardous job.

The stunned Dafei finally came to his senses.

Did the pirates not see that big figure in front of him? Even if they thought nothing of him, they should accord the Great White Shark some respect.

The only way was to get someone else to do the killing. In other words, he would lure the mobs over to help kill his enemies. He was a master at that. Regardless of whether it was a success or failure, this was his last and only resort.

Da Fei walked to the mast where the mooring rope was tied. The cable was already pulled tight and on the verge of breaking. The mast also creaked loudly.

Da Fei tried to pull and shake the rope, but it did not budge. Then, Da Fei stood on it like a tightrope. Since there was such a big pile of stuff in the shark's stomach, it would probably get irritated if he shook the rope? Once it got irritated, it should react or something, right?

Da Fei tried to jump on the rope again. Bang! The water in front splashed and the entire ship shook—there was a reaction!

He continued to jump!

—Boom! The waves rose!

Da Fei was so shocked he shrank back! He had better not play the fool and end up harming himself instead of the enemy.

The pirates approached noisily but could not help but become silent when they saw the Great White Shark pulling the ship! The speed of their boats suddenly slowed down!

It was time to see some blood! Da Fei immediately rushed to the artillery cabin at the bottom of the ship and took aim at the crowd of people on the pirate ship. He fired loud shots! Screaming ensured!

—System Message: You have killed one pirate and gained 40 EXP!

—System Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the pirate!

—System Message: You attacked the pirate ship, causing -78 Damage!

This shot was like a fuse for a bomb. The volatile and disturbed Great White Shark immediately became like a torpedo and rushed towards the pirate ship on the right at an incredible speed. Boom!!!

The pirate ship rocked violently. The pirates standing on the mast fell onto the deck like dumplings into soup. The pirates holding onto the railings to stabilize themselves were exceptionally ferocious. They began to attack with flying axes.

The Great White Shark which was injured by the flying axes became even more violent. It slammed into the bottom of the ship, and the whole ship almost rolled over!

Success! Da Fei was elated and surprised!

—Boom! Boom! Another two smoke flares flew up. The pirate ship further in front approached the pirate ship on the right side, offering support. The pirate ship on the left side shouted and continued to approach SV Fly. What the heck!

How was he supposed to fight! This was obviously not a Trial Mission. Had he met real pirates? He was done for! He would not be able to protect the ship!

Da Fei's heart sank. He had already gotten a lot out of this trip, he would let loose and fight it out. Da Fei immediately rushed to the deck and got ready to cut the cable that held the Great White Shark back with an ax. It could then kill as it wished!

At this moment, the pirate ship on the left was already close by. It was a two-mast paddle boat which was just half the length of SV Fly. Da Fei could already see the pirates standing on the mast of the other ship wearing bandanas, armed with knives and grappling hooks.

"Wahahaha!" When they saw Da Fei, the pirates grinned evilly and threw a grappling hook. The hook caught on the side of SV Fly!

What the heck! It was too late to cut the cable!

"F**k!" Da Fei immediately rushed forward and shot the man who was coming over on the rope like an acrobat! -13!

—System Message: The enemy has been stopped by paralytic toxin…

Ah! The pirate suddenly let go of the rope and fell into the sea with a plop. Da Fei's eyebrow twitched! This sudden stop was like an instant kill!

Clatter! Clatter! Two more grappling hooks hooked onto SV Fly's gunwale. To the fanatical pirates, a few injured or dead comrades would not stop their attack.

Damn! No matter how many came, he would take them out! Da Fei dashed to another grappling hook and fired another shot—Plop! Another pirate was paralyzed and dropped into the sea.

At this moment, a wave of water rose between the two ships—Rumble!!! The pirate ship shook violently!

The Great White Shark was here! Wherever someone fell into the water, it would almost immediately appear! In water, its Attack Speed could reach up to 70 km/h!

Da Fei finally could not hold it in anymore and started laughing out loud! As opposed to a tall sailing ship, the frenzied Great White Shark would of course instinctively attack the low-paddle sailing ship. In front of such a bloodthirsty overlord with unpredictable movements, what chance could these three pirate boats have? Especially when the Great White Shark was about the same size as a pirate ship. Da Fei felt fortunate that he did not start a fight with the Great White Shark. Otherwise, how long would his ship be able to hold on?

The pirates quickly realized what was happening and immediately turned to retreat. The boat on the left was very unfortunate. The violent shaking caused a lot of water to enter the paddle compartment. The hull began to tilt and they could no longer escape. The pirates immediately ran to the other side of the hull, in an attempt to maintain balance.

Of course, Da Fei would not stand idly by. He immediately ran to the artillery cabin, pushed the Ballista to the port-side gun door, and then aimed at the group of pirates trying to balance their boat—no, no, no, he should aim at the leaking side! Which side should he attack? This question actually caused him quite a bit of internal struggle. Wahahaha! In short, he had managed to get through another scenario. He was a pro, an amazing pro!

Finally, under the combined attacks of Da Fei and the shark, the pirate ship sank. Hundreds of pirates fell into the water. They waved their swords in a final bid for resistance but eventually became ghosts under the Great White Shark's teeth. It was a frightening scene better left unwitnessed…

—System Message: You sank a medium-sized pirate ship, wiped out a pirate force, and gained 80,000 EXP! You achieved "Victory in Battle 1" and Command Power +10.

—Novice Guide: When you completely wipe out the entire army of your enemy, you will get additional rewards for Command Power achievements. The extra reward is based on the strength of the enemy troops and your Damage done in battle, Maximum 10 points.

Da Fei's eyebrows arched. He had won the battle single-handedly! This experience was terrifying!

As the sun set, the surface of the sea turned crimson red. After the war, the Great White Shark's scarred body floated sideways on the surface of the sea. Its blood flowed non-stop. With extensive internal and external injuries, it finally succumbed to its injuries and died.

Aye, how should this be put? This was the highest state of watching a fight on the sidelines. Da Fei sighed, sad at the demise of his ally. "I'll send you off!"
