Chapter 499: Barbossa’s tavern

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Only the bartender appeared like a civilized person within this bar. Above his skin tight socks, he wore baggy jeans and a suit with large buttons. Over the suit, was a chinese-looking coat, and beneath it was a beige shirt without a collar.

Noticing the trio gathering in, the standoffish bartender mumbled.

"Only rum and beer, how many mugs?"

Sheyan bluntly placed a golden guinea onto the counter, as he spoke.

"Our time is limited, we only hope to obtain some information from you; your wonderful drinks doesn’t entice us."

The bartender released a sly laugh as he accepted the golden nugget offering a reply. Then, he continued.

"Only rum and beer here, how many mugs?"

Sheyan’s expression changed.

"We ain’t here for a drink."

The bartender revealed a crafty smirk and replied.

"You can leave then."

Sheyan suddenly burst into hysterical laughters.

"Interesting, truly interesting. Looks like you intend to deal vilely with us?"

The bartender sneered.

"Ferrer, someone wishes to stir up a row."

Clinking their beer mugs nearby, several stout but strong brutes immediately responded to the bartender’s call and marched towards them. Cracking their knuckles, they slanted their heads and casted malicious glares to survey Sheyan and the other three.

The leading bulky brute had curly chest hair, and was probably the one named Ferrer. He warned.

"Ye scums best scuttle off, or yer wish for me to drag yer lot out?"

The bartender sinisterly announced.

"These rookie idiots aren’t aware of the rules, but wish to buy information from me, eh?? However, they are pretty generous, delivering such a block of booty. On account of this golden nugget, Ferrer, how about you chop off only a hand before allowing them to scram."

Sheyan was currently rushing for time, how would he have time to bullsheet with him. Sighing, he shook his head.

However at this moment, Canbi actually trudged forward with a gloomy countenance and bellowed furiously.

"Ye bunch of scurvy dogs. To dare disrespect th’ cap’n, ye be deservin’ of death!"

The eyes of the thick-biceps-round-waisted Ferrer immediately widened largely; feeling as though his dignity had been provoked, he instantly swung a vicious punch at Canbi’s face.

Simultaneously, Canbi unleashed a ferocious punch to greet the incoming punch. Two equally brutal and uncouth pirates were on the verge of an intensified pummeling of fist!

As for Ferrer, his strength had reached an entire 40 points, a figure that overshadowed most average contestants with highest attributes of 30 plus points. Against them, 40 points would suffice for an overwhelming suppression, and even deal crushing damages against some contestants.

However, to Canbi who obtained the monstrous ‘Ogre Gloves’, a disparity stretched further than the naked eye could see!

Kacha! A crisp fracturing resulting from the sudden outburst of Canbi’s punch.

Instantaneously, Ferrer was smashed flying into the air by the tremendous outburst of energy, as his arm became utterly distorted like chopped firewood. Sprawling limped and paralyzed on the ground, blood frothed out endlessly from his mouth……

Yet another violent tremor befell this tavern, as dust soared before scattering gently. Originally, none within this terribly chaotic tavern noticed the rising commotion here; yet when Canbi made his move, he instantly attracted everyone’s attention!!

In spite of that, those few pirate ruffians by Ferrer’s side were still unaware of their predicament. Watching their boss getting oppressed, they pounced forward one after another.

Canbi appeared like he was exceedingly familiar with such tavern fistfights, as he lunged forward while laughing ludicrously.

Kacha! Kacha! Blunt echoes pierced the air as his elbow struck against the chest of the right pirate ruffian. Instantly, that pirate’s chest caved in, with blood spraying wildly out of his mouth. The bar’s originally stale air was now fuelled with a fumigation of blood stench.

Meanwhile, grabbing a steel rod, the other pirate ruffian slammed it over Canbi’s head. The pulverization released a muffled sound, as Canbi’s body staggered instantly.

In this instance, Sheyan realized Canbi’s life force was shockingly low. Evidently, wearing the gloves had resulted in his defence and survivability weakening by a relative degree.

Nevertheless, how would the trio just sit idly while watching Canbi get marauded?

With a trampling kick, Sheyan blatantly kicked a pirate ruffian spinning unknown rounds into the air. That pirate ruffian could only hear hazy wind sounds, as his vision turned black.

Reef and Mogensha weren’t willing to lag behind; unleashing kicks and punches as they flipped the pirates in this tavern upside down.

Observing the grim situation, that bartender attempted to flee. Instead, Brother Black lifted his rifle single handedly, before ushering 5 consecutive shots to puncture into the bartender’s thighs. The bartender immediately fell like dog eating feces, blood flushed out his nostrils and even his front teeth had been knocked out.

At this moment, the pirates in this tavern finally understood. Actually, this bartender, who was named ‘Dark Widow’, tried to earn dirty loots by cheating strangers. Instead, he was eventually stomped down onto a ‘hot grilling plate’.

Although Canbi acted as meek as a sheep in front of Sheyan, his pirate savageness was on full display at the moment. Feeling the huge swell on his head, his eyes glint viciously.

Seizing the head of that pirate ruffian who struck him with the steel rod, he repeatedly pounded his head unceasingly against the pointed edge of the counter. Amidst the blood-curdling scream of that pirate ruffian, Canbi unsparingly pounded his head till death!

Following that, Canbi brushed his hands as he strided largely towards Dark Widow who was struggling in a pool of blood. Grasping his hair, Canbi dragged his upper body off the floor, and spitted word by word in Dark Widow’s face.

"I heard yer intended to carve out me cap’n’s hand before chasin’ us out?"

His eyes filled with bitter resentment, as Dark Widow clenched his teeth and cursed.

"Do you know whose tavern is this? If Mister Barbossa gets wind of this matter, he will hang your skin atop chimneys! The women of your households will be sold off as whores……"

PA! Without concluding his statement, Canbi had released a slap to his face! Such was his barbarian like energy, that his slap easily shattered Dark Widow’s cheek bone. Blood oozed out of Dark Widow’s ears, and before he could struggle to utter anything, Canbi had already raised his hand again.

"Stop!" Sheyan suddenly commanded emotionlessly.

Dark Widow’s gaze flushed with delight, as he couldn’t help but offered a stammered wild laughter. Then, he smoked with an indistinct tone.

"You finally afraid? Then immediately kneel and beg for your lives a thousand times, mayhaps, I will spare your wretched life."

Sheyan ignored him but issued to the unconvinced Canbi.

"I still have matters to ask him. Remember, he doesn’t die and must retain his ability to speak and listen. However else, I leave it to you."

Dark Widow instantly choked on his conceited laughter. Instead, Canbi immediately seized him up with a malevolent smile, before pressing his right hand atop the tavern counter.

Dark Widow could finally sense horror, as the five fingers of his suppressed right hand wrestled incessantly to break free. But where would he find a freakish strength that could withstand Canbi?

In the next second, a incomparably shrilling shriek pierced into the air. Canbi’s punch had pulverized down onto Dark Widow’s right arm. The might of his fist was beyond imagination, as Dark Widow’s suspended right arm directly cracked with ‘kachas’ like a dried twig.

Following that, Canbi easily twisted it off, as Dark Widow’s right hand was bluntly snapped off with blood gushing out wildly.

Under such torment, Dark Widow finally crumbled internally and started pleading miserably for mercy. Sheyan squatted down, and spoke with great interest.

"How is it, you finally interested in conversing with me?"

Dark Widow’s face was blended with blood, mucus and dirt. His current state was the most pathetic of pathetics, the worst of all embarrassment.

At present, he didn’t even have the strength to speak, and could only nod repetitively like a pecking pigeon.

Sheyan then demanded indifferent.

"Has any abnormal event occurred on the island recently?"

Dark Widow panted before he squeezed out the words with great difficulty.

"If you’re talking about……Tortuga’s……latest circulating rumoured happenings, then nothing can surpass…various large emporiums purchasing precious and valuable objects with high prices."

Sheyan asked.

"Are you sure? Such a statement isn’t worth that seventeen guineas tossed to you."

Canbi then threatened by the side.

"Aye, two eyeballs, ears and a nose be a reasonable compensation."

Dark Widow’s body trembled as he pleaded.

"Wait!! Actually those lads purchasing valuable objects, would ultimately sell them off to the gypsies. Frequently, a shift in hands would yield 2-3 times of the purchasing price!"

Sheyan doubtfully asked.

"Really?"

"Yes really!!" Dark Widow shivered as he replied. "I swear on the grave of my ancestors!"

Same as the gypsies of the present world, those gypsies were experts in smelting, roaming and divinity; where tarot cards and caravans were the trademark of this ethnic nomads.

At this moment, the trio received notification from their nightmare imprint.

[ Hidden main mission ‘Breakpoint’ activated. ]

[ You receive 2 options. ]

[ Option 1 - Seek out relevant information about those precious valuable objects from reliable emporiums. ]

[ Option 2 - Seek out the gypsies and obtain relevant information by directly transacting precious valuable objects with them. ]

[ Warning: Option 2 will increase the mission’s difficulty again. ]

When Sheyan had entered this world, their mission difficulty was deemed as ‘B-’. However, after activated the hidden mission ‘Breakpoint’, its difficulty had scaled to ‘B’. If they currently picked option 2, then undoubtedly its difficulty would soar to ‘B+’.

This was a difficulty equivalent to that of eradicating the Blade Empress’s subsidiary forces back in the Starship Trooper world.

Despite that, factoring in the fact that Reef could promote as an official Growth-Hunter at anytime, and that Sheyan’s individual prowess had scaled to such a formidable state, a ‘B+’ difficulty wouldn’t necessarily be unacceptable.

Thus, the trio straightforwardly chose option 2. As expected according to Sheyan’s conjecture, this hidden main mission indeed had a time limit - it was definitely interlocked with the gypsies leaving before the morning twilight!
