Capítulo 76: Ban vs Vander Decken's crew
"It seems I'm outnumbered. How funny~"
Ban chuckled as he looked at the many fishmen that surrounded him. There even was one that towered over him, a fishmen called Wadatsumi if he had heard correctly.
Behing Wadatsumi, Ban saw a ship that looked more broken than whole, bearing the traditional Jolly Roger on it's sails. Writen on the sails with a big font were the words, Flying Dutchman.
"I guess you guys are pirates. Is that the right word? I am a bit confused as you aren't really 'sailing' the sea."
Ban continued, gazing at the tall and spindly figure of the captain of the Flying Dutchman pirates, Vander Decken.
Despite Vander Decken's bold and confident behavior from just moments ago, he didn't really look that reliable as a leader of his crew. He was rash, prone to anger outbursts and acted like a child throwing a tantrum when something didn't work out, the example being the axes thrown at the mermaid princess. His crew wasn't that much better either. They were just a bunch of weaklings, all waiting to see what he was doing or waiting for their captains orders.
Wadatsumi was a bit on the stronger side, but that spoke volumes seeing that the fishmen in question easily towered over all of them combined.
Vander Decken didn't take Ban's words kindly as he gnashed his teeth in anger.
"Men, kill him!"
Vander Decken yelled.
The crew of the Flying Dutchman pirates quickly swarmed Ban without an ounce of fear, all raising their weapons at the one who had angered their captain, ready to strike the sole man down in front of him.
Ban just looked at the bunch storming at him, a toothy grin finaly appearing on his face.
"Man, I really lucked out on this one! I was getting bored staying cooped down on this island with nothing to do. Good to see there are people as lively as you guys down here to relief me of this boredom~"
Ban chattered, as he easily wove a path through the pirates, knocking out some of them.
The pirates had no inkling as to what had just happened, as Ban was moving too swiftly through their ranks.
It was too easy, way too easy.
It was hard to belief this man was a fishmen, as he moved as well on land as they did in the water.
"Move out of the way!"
Vander Decken suddenly yelled, making all his crew members retreat at their fastest speed possible. They had a faint idea of what their captain was planning and they had no intention to be caught up in it.
"Oh? Is it something fun~"
Ban looked at the retreating crowd, as Vander Decken was the only one that was relatively close to him. The latter had all kinds of weapons lying around him, all carrying the same rose like marking.
"You are an annoying thorn that just won't disappear!"
Vander Decken yelled, as he nudged weapon after weapon.
All it took was a single touch, as each weapon flew towards Ban at an amazing speed.
Seeing this, Ban couldn't help it but grin wider, eventually laughing out loud in enthusiasm.
"This is really fun!"
Ban yelled as he dodged the weapons but they continued to divert their course mid air and made a straight path back to him.
Ban continued to dodge as the weapons continued to follow.
"How does this work? I wonder?"
Looking himself over once, not even bothering dodging a few of the weapons, he was certain there wasn't any marking placed on him.
Then how was the spindly man doing this?
While Ban was deep in thought, the weapons continued to rain down on him, gauging out flesh and cutting deeply through him. Blood seeped through the big holes in his body as the weapons continued to rain down on him.
"Yes, Yes, Die!"
Vander Decked shouted, excitement on the fore front of his mind.
The one man that ruined his plan was being killed by his own hand. How couldn't he be happy.
Waving his hand about in mid air, the weapons halted for a second before they all pointed towards Ban and pierced straight through him, nailing him to the ground.
Blood splurted from Ban's wounds, as multiple weapons dug deep into his body.
"Good job captain!"
The crew shouted, as they all sighed in relief at the quick death of the clearly too powerful enemy.
"No time to waste! Get me to the palace. Neptune and his sons should be away to fight the rebels. Now is my chance to get the mermaid princess!"
Vander Decken stepped back to the ship, ready to depart.
"Ah, I figured it out~"
A lax voice halted Vander Decken's steps.
"You placed the marks all over the place and changed the trajectory of their path. That way you don't need to place a mark on me."
Vander Decken looked over his shoulder at the origin of the voice, only to see Ban pulling the weapons from his body with ease, the wounds healing in an instant.
"H-How is this possible!? Who are you!"
Vander Decken stammered, a hint of fear finally appearing in hs eyes.
"Does it matter? Maybe it does, I don't know. Anyway, just call me Ban~"
Ban said as he took out the last weapon.
Weighing it in his hand, Ban nodded, throwing the weapon and Vander Decken and easily stabbing through two of his legs, making the latter fall down to the ground as the weapons, a spear, pierced his legs to the ground.
Vander Decken screamed in agony, his trembling hands wanting to grab the spear to tear it out.
"Ah, no no, don't do that. You'll bleed out if you do."
Ban replied, piercing Vander Decken's other legs and hands to the ground, making the latter unable to move from his spot.
While Vander Decken regained his energy to scream in agony, Ban swiftly took out the opposing crew, leaving the giant fishmen Wadatsumi as last as he smashed the giant straight in the face, leaving a slight indent in the shape of his Coureschouse.
As he held back a lot, that was the only visible wound.
Too bad it was still a bit too much for Wadatsumi, as the blow shook up his tiny brain too much, making him lose consciousness. He certainly had more than one crack in the skull, as well as a fierce concussion. Well, he wasn't dead, so that wasn't too bad.
"Now that everything here is handled, I should see how the captain is doing. She always gets the best opponents after all."
Ban chuckled, as he quickly tied up the bunch of stooges and wrote a quick note and stuck it to their head. Satisfied with his work, Ban quickly left to the city, not bothering with whoever might find these pirates.
For those who came across the pirates, the all would read the note as their faces would scrunch up in dislike.
The note said:
"I am a perverted stalker that likes young children. Please kick me hard when you read this."
Needless to say, the pirates got more than a few kicks from those that were hard working and worried parents.
