บท 14: Chapter 14
On the other side, aboard the Eternal Gale, facing the barrage of cannonballs raining down upon them, the crew members drew their long swords from their waists and began to defend themselves.
"Clang! Buzz!"
The sound of the swords resonated on the deck as countless sword glimmers were unleashed.
Before the cannonballs could even reach the Eternal Gale, they were already slashed apart in mid-air.
"Boom!"
"Thud!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In an instant, the sky above the Eternal Gale was filled with soaring flames, and thick black smoke lingered in the air for a long time.
"17 shots!"
"11 shots!"
"9 shots!"
"13 shots!"
...
The crew members reported their achievements to their companions in a calm voice, comparing their performances.
"Is that all they've got?" remarked a senior crew member, gazing at the nearby marine warship with a leisurely tone.
Another senior crew member responded in a cold voice, "If that's the case, it's quite disappointing."
On the other side, a high-ranking crew member stood on the ship's railing, holding a long sword. After hearing the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but laugh.
"The cannon barrage must be just an appetizer, right? Even at this distance, they can't come over, but their individual strength may not be weak."
"I hope they're as you say. It has been too peaceful these days, and after missing them, who knows how long we'll have to wait for something to alleviate our boredom," another senior crew member walked out and calmly spoke.
Upon hearing the exchange among the few individuals, the other crew members couldn't help but join in with teasing remarks.
"Hey, hey, don't just think about yourselves. We also need some help to pass the time."
"Yeah, yeah, when the ship gets closer, you better take it easy and not take all the people for yourselves."
"That's right, we each need a few too."
The high-ranking crew members turned their heads and responded with a smile to these remarks.
"That's not a problem..."
"You... Are you guys misunderstanding something?!"
Just as the crew members were chatting, Veya's voice suddenly came through, interrupting their conversation.
Everyone turned their heads with puzzled expressions, looking at Veya.
Only to see Veya pointing anxiously at the distant warship and addressing the surrounding crew members.
"Did we make a mistake in our course? We're sailing towards them now!"
"That... That's a marine warship! With that size of a warship, there must be at least several hundred people on board!"
"We barely add up to fifty people at best. Are we really going to engage in a direct confrontation with hundreds of marines?"
"Are we going to die?"
"No, am I definitely going to die?"
Veya looked terrified, stuttering as she spoke.
The crew members couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Once they realized, one of the average crew members couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Veya, do you still not understand the situation?"
High-ranking crew member: "Don't treat us as ordinary pirates, we're not like them."
Junior crew member: "It seems like you lack a clear understanding of our pirate crew."
Average crew member: "Hehe, are we being looked down upon?"
High-ranking crew member: "Although we might not be very strong, as long as we have the captain and Demiurge, everything will be fine."
As the words of the high-ranking crew member echoed, the surrounding crew members nodded in agreement.
"That's right."
"Absolutely right!"
Watching the crew members react this way, Veya's mouth hung open, her face filled with disbelief.
"These guys... Have they gone crazy?!"
"They must be insane, right?!"
"Dozens of people dare to challenge hundreds of Marines?! It's not enough lives to die!"
"I haven't even started searching for the great treasure. I can't die here."
Thinking this, Veya tried to speak up.
"But you..."
However, before she could even utter a word this time, a cold voice suddenly reached her ears.
"Shut up."
Hearing that voice, Veya couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably.
She was all too familiar with that voice.
"Captain..." Veya turned her head stiffly and called out softly.
Carnes, who walked past her, paused briefly and glanced at her.
"Non-combatants, just stand aside and watch."
Veya remained silent.
Carnes continued walking past her, while calling out, "Demiurge, you go ahead and handle it, I'll join you later."
Demiurge, following behind Carnes, immediately nodded and replied, "Understood."
With those words, a pair of wings suddenly sprouted from Demiurge's back!
In the next moment, his wings flapped, and he flew away from the Eternal Gale, heading towards the Marine warships.
"Swoosh!"
Witnessing this scene, Veya's pupils contracted in shock, rendering her speechless.
In contrast to Veya's reaction, the surrounding crew members, upon seeing Demiurge taking action, either sighed disappointedly or helplessly.
"Ah, looks like we won't be needed this time."
"If Demiurge and the captain are getting involved, will there be anything left for us?"
"Sigh..."
On the other side, on the Marine warship.
Smoker, who was about to inquire about the pirate group's information from his subordinates, suddenly caught sight of a person flying towards them from a silver-white ship.
Other Marine officers also noticed this scene.
It startled them, causing them to exclaim in surprise.
"What's that?!"
"Someone is coming this way!"
"Is that a person?!" Dasuki, looking at the figure with wings on his back, exclaimed in astonishment.
Meanwhile, Smoker unsheathed his weapon, "Jitte," and muttered disdainfully.
"Tch! A Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, huh?!"
Just as Smoker finished speaking,
Demiurge slowly landed on the bow of the warship.
Surveying the Marines on the deck, Demiurge politely smiled and spoke.
"For the first time..."
However, before he could finish his polite greeting,
Smoker had already launched an attack towards Demiurge with his "Jitte."
"Whoosh~"
"Swish!"
The "Jitte," made from Seastone, came crashing towards Demi
