Kapitel 41: Chapter 25 Short Arms Conflict_3

"I won't waste words with you. You, come here first." The Rear Admiral stopped in front of the pirate captain he had said he would kill no matter what, back in the cabin standoff.

The pirate, who seemed to be the captain, hung his head and dared not meet the Rear Admiral's gaze. The Rear Admiral placed his sword against his neck, "Speak, which one is the captain?"

Upon hearing the Rear Admiral's question, the pirate felt a glimmer of hope and mustered his courage to ask in return, "If I tell, if I give up the captain, will the General spare my life?"

Before he finished speaking, the Rear Admiral's sword had pierced through his left ribcage. Shocked, he looked at the Rear Admiral and then at his own chest where the sword had sliced through his heart.

As the sword was withdrawn, the pirate fell forwards as if his soul had been drained from him, blood pouring out beneath him.
