Chapter 144:
Immediately after killing the Kraken.
[Alert: You defeated Kra en!]
[Alert: Yu sucsfuly ra e!]
A partially erased notification popped up.
[Alert: Experience points gained!]
[Alert: Experience points gained!]
[Alert: Youve reached level 201!]
[Alert: Youve reached level 202!]
.
[Alert: Youve reached level 230!]
The ensuing notifications about experience and leveling up, while not entirely missing, were so faded that he had to squint in order to see them.
Maybe in a couple months theyll disappear entirely. What the fuck is up with this.
Otto was thinking as he jumped off of Elises sword.
*Crumble!*
*Crumble!*
At the same time, the [Golden Greatsword] that had been so brilliant in the previous battle was about to crumble into powder.
The formerly radiant golden sword was now a dull gray.
Due to the full discharge of its power during the battle with the Kraken, it had been completely exhausted.
Ugh. I cant fathom how much it would cost to restore this thing.
Otto grimaced at the thought of the maintenance costs of the [Golden Greatsword].
Fortunately, it was not completely destroyed, but it would require an astronomical amount of gold to feed it again before it could be used again in battle.
Thus marked the end of Ottos relationship with the Golden Greatsword.
Ottos pragmatic and efficiency-oriented nature made him uncomfortable with a weapon as cost-prohibitive as the Golden Greatsword.
Good work.
Elise welcomed Otto.
Are you all right?
Im fine.
Otto smiled.
Although his stomach was a little queasy, [Dragons Scottish Jelly had been effective.
It was the case with Camille last time, and is the same with him now.
A serious injury that should have taken months to heal had been cured in the blink of an eye.
Are you sure youre okay?
What do you mean?
Elise.
Well talk about it later. I dont think this is the place to talk about it.
Alright, and.
Otto knelt down on one knee toward Elise, and kissed the back of her hand.
Thank you so much, Elise. You saved me by coming, and truly, I cannot express my gratitude enough. Not just did you save me, but all of my subjects.
Well, you cant go around thanking me for something like this.
Elise flushed and looked away.
I merely raised my hand because everyone seemed to be in danger.
No, I know. It was hard for you to step up. I really appreciate it, Elise.
Elise didnt answer.
Otto looked up at Elise and beamed.
Your Highness, congratulations on your victory.
Camille walked up to Otto and kneeled before him.
Thank you so much. And thanks for the hard work, if it werent for you, Id be a water spirit.
I was only doing what a knight should do.
How Humble.
Otto huffed at Camilles usual steadfastness.
Pansy, you actually did something this time.
Kairos walked over and praised Otto.
Kaiross entire complexion was pale, and he resembled a gravely ill patient.
It was obvious that he had taken a lot of energy to force the Phantom Armor to its upper limit.
It must have been quite a strain for him to withstand the surging spiritual energy.
Lets go.
Otto pointed to their surroundings.
The battle is not over yet! Its not over until its thoroughly finished! Wipe out the remaining remnants!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Otto gave the order and turned to look at Averys pirate ship, the Serpents Tongue, in the distance.
Forty years? Thats a long time. But what the hell. Today will be your last day.
The [Red Goddess] then began to move toward Averys [Serpents Tongue] at a terrifying speed.

T-This cant be happening, its a dream, its a dream, this is just a dream, ahhhhhhh!
Avery was driven crazy by the sight of the three Kraken, all hacked in two.
The strength of three Kraken was more than the combined strength of all three Pirate Lords.
Depending on the circumstances, they were capable of defeating all of the Pirate Lords.
With the loss of such a massive strategic weapon at once, it was no wonder Avery was losing his mind.
And then.
*Splash!*

Depending on the circumstances, they were capable of defeating all of the Pirate Lords.
With the loss of such a massive strategic weapon at once, it was no wonder Avery was losing his mind.
And then.
*Splash!*
The [Black Fleet], led by the flagship [Tyrant], surrounded the [Serpents Tongue].
A perfect encirclement.
If the Black Fleet were to open fire, Averys band of pirates would be reduced to dust in the blink of an eye.
I. I Surrender!
Let us live, please!
Dont shoot, we surrender!
Averys men dropped their weapons and lay flat on the ground, not daring to rebel.
Even the navigator had taken the liberty of raising the white flag without Averys permission, an act that could be considered mutiny on board.
The battle was lost, and the tide was irrevocably turned.
Moreover, the [Black Fleet] was a symbol of the Pirate King Bardo, so it was no wonder that the pirates surrendered.
The position of Pirate King has been vacant for the past 200 years.
But now that there was a new pirate king, he deserved to be respected.
Thanks to this, Otto managed to take control of the Serpents Tongue without shedding a drop of blood.
I want you to search every inch of the cabin, pull out all the enemies that are hiding, and bring them to the Red Goddess.
Yes, Your Majesty!
Oh, and be sure to transfer any goods in the cargo hold as well.
At Ottos command, the magic swordsmen and soldiers of the Lota Kingdom Army combed through the [Serpents Tongue].
Avery remained standing, speechless, as his men were dragged away and the cargo hold was ransacked.
Finally.
Hehe Hahahaha Hehahahahaha Hahahahahahaha!
All alone, Avery began to laugh maniacally to himself like a delirious person.
Haha! Hahaha!
Johnson the parrot laughed along with Avery.
The outcome.
HaHaeeeeeek!
Avery strangled Johnson, and then put Johnsons head in his mouth and proceeded to gnaw on it.
*Crunch!* *Squelch!*
The sight of a large parrot being gnawed alive, especially a pet bird that had been pampered for the past 40 years, was disturbing.
Thats how unhinged Avery was.
He was completely consumed by madness.
How disgusting, that old man.
Otto commented in a cold voice.
Indeed, Avery was disgusting.
Even if he was a pirate lord by name.
Drake.
Yes.
Drakes response to Ottos call was respectful.
Go.
Otto motioned to Avery with his chin.
Go, settle your family enmity. Its your turn.
Thank you.
Drake bowed his head slightly in gratitude as Otto gave him the opportunity, then stepped towards Avery.
Will he be okay?
Camille asked Otto, a little worried.
Avery might be the weakest, but a pirate lord is still a pirate lord.
And now that hes half-crazed, hes even more dangerous to deal with.
Hed be a tough opponent for Drake, who was just beginning his journey.
Its sufficient.
Otto wasnt worried about Drake.
Dont worry about him. Hell handle it fine.
Is that so?
Even if it costs him a limb, so be it. This is Drakes fight, and he wouldnt want us meddling.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Otto trusted Drake.
The man who would be his vassal and in charge of his naval forces would kill the pirate lord Avery and avenge the death of his family.

Avery.
Drake stood in front of Avery with a powerful gait.
I have come to settle an old score.
Drakes eyes, which were a mix of browns, blues, and greens, glowed fiercely.
Hehehe Hehehehe!
Avery tossed the chewed up parrot away with a flick, and wiped the blood and feathers from his mouth with his sleeve.
Did you say Drake? Hmph, I can tell at a glance, Heheh, that youre Williams bastard, Hahaha!
Avery drew his pirate sword in one hand and his pistol in the other.
Now, to think A mere brat like you Hmph dare to defy me, Avery, the pirate lord Do you think you can defeat this Sea Serpent Avery!
*Clink!*
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Avery squeezed the trigger like he was having a fit.
Drake, who had barely rolled to avoid the bullet, closed the distance between him and Avery.
*Clang!*
Drakes sword clashed with Averys.
*Clink!*
Drake squeezed his guns trigger.
*Thud!*
Avery tripped Drakes leg and then pulled the trigger.
Drake managed to roll over, narrowly avoiding getting a hole in his head.
It was a strange fight, but maybe this was what true pirate combat was all about.
A pistol in one hand.
In the other, a pirate sword.
Drake and Avery tangled in close quarters, and the duel was tense and exciting enough to keep onlookers on the edge of their seats.
And then.
*Fwooosh!*
A roaring fire began to rise on the deck of the Serpents Tongue.
*Crackle!*
Geometric patterns appeared on Averys pirate sword as it blazed.
Ill send you to be with your father!
Avery swung his blazing pirate sword and attacked Drake fiercely.
*Crackle!*
The searing flames, like a serpents tongue, threatened Drake with its scorching heat.
On the burning deck.
Ugh!
Drake was gradually cornered by Averys attack.
Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Avery broke down in glee, his eyes lighting up.
*Slash!*
The blazing pirate sword slashed through Drakes chest.
Ugh!
Drake grunted in pain.
Not a drop of blood trickled from his slashed chest.
Averys blazing pirate sword had cauterized the wound.
Hmph! Ill send you off before I go to my own hell, so you can wait with your father. Hahaha!
Avery sneered at Drake as he let out a maniacal laugh.
*Ooohhh!!*
Drakes pirate sword began to emit a blue aura.
This is!
Drake suddenly felt a sword technique enter his mind.
Pirate King Bardos sword technique?
That wasnt all.
*Whoosh!*
A powerful surge of energy emanated from the pirate sword.
The Sword is not designed to command the [Black Fleet], but rather to be a kind of artifact, imbued with the power of the Pirate King Bardo.
Heheheh! Die! Williams bastard!
Avery swung his blazing pirate sword.
*Clash!*
Drake raised Bardos pirate sword and parried Averys strike.
..!
Averys eyes went wide as the shock of the moment hit him.
Its not me who will die, but you.
Drake swung Bardos sword, unleashing the sword art of the pirate king of 200 years ago.
*Fwooosh!!*
The Aura that erupted from Bardos sword smothered the flames that were scorching the deck.
*Clash!* *Clang!*
The tables were turned, and the battle continues.
Harnessing Bardos power, Drake overwhelmed Avery.
No way! How come! Why!? Arghhhhh!
An unearthly scream burst from Averys mouth.
The power hed craved his entire life.
The raw force.
The power of the Pirate King Bardo.
And now it was in the hands of a mere child.
It was too much for Avery to swallow, and he refused to accept it.
I will slaughter you and take Bardos power.
At that instant.
*Squelch!*
Drakes sword plunged into the center of Averys chest.
Cough!
Avery coughs up blood.
*Thud*
The pistol in his grip clattered to the deck.
A brat like to this Avery to Williams child
*Tap*
Drake pressed the muzzle of [Blood Vengeance] to Averys head.
You wont have a chance to atone even in death. Hell is the only place youll ever go.
This doesnt make any sense.
This is vengeance for my family.
*BANG!*
The muzzle of the [Blood Vengeance] spewed fire.
*Thud!*
A headless old body tumbled across the deck.
Drake paid no more attention to the dead Avery.
Instead, he turned on his heel and made his way to Otto.
*Thump!*
Drake dropped to one knee, facing Otto, and bowed his head.
My name is Francis Drake, and I greet His Majesty, the King of the Kingdom of Lota.
