Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 124: Threatening

Chapter 124: Threatening

The Clowns tie the Half-Wings while Palu fixes the holes on the galleon. He just makes it so that the ship won't sink while they have some talk with the Half-Wings.

"What do you want? Why did you target and attack us?" asks the enemy Captain after he woke up.

"Let's get to the point then. I want my parents' money back," says Palu.

"Your parents?" asks the enemy Captain.

"Bani & Diane, you should know them," says Cricket while drinking his booze.

"What? Those old fools are your parents?" asks the enemy Captain.

*BAM*

Palu hits the Captain's head very hard because he is pissed.

"You are the fool here who doesn't understand his situation. Now, hurry up and give my parents' money back," says Palu.

"Hahaha, I don't have it. We've spent all of it over these years. There's no way we will keep the money, hahaha," says the Captain while laughing loudly.

The Half-Wings members also laugh like their captain. They really don't understand their current situation. Palu gets very pissed and Cricket sigh before telling Jude & Mantis to return to their ship.

"Manba, don't let them die," says Cricket.

"What do you mean?" asks Manba confusedly.

Cricket doesn't answer and just gives his flintlocks to Palu. Palu catches them and then he starts to shoot the enemies with the flintlocks. He shots them on non-vital spots, so they won't die even though they're hurt.

Manba now understands what Cricket meant and why he ordered the girls to return. It makes Manba sigh because he needs to treat a lot of people now. But he doesn't feel any pity toward them because they are pissing him off too.

The others just watch as Palu shot the Half-Wings. These guys are not worth their pity at all. The Half-Wings have killed many people over these years. They even killed civilians in the past before the God stopped them, so they're just scums.

The Half-Wings grunt in pain after Palu shot them many times until he runs out of bullets. Manba then gives them a treatment using his medicine. But when the medicine touches their wounds, they scream even louder.

"Oi oi oi, are you really treating their wounds?" asked Deon.

"I am. I even used a very effective medicine on them. Although this medicine will make the wounds feel 20 times more painful. But this is a very effective medicine," says Manba calmly.

"A-Alright, just don't use that medicine on me when I'm hurt," says Deon.

The medicine is very effective just like what Manba said. The Half-Wings' wounds are closed shortly after that. But they keep screaming even after the wounds are closed because the pain is still there even now.

Furthermore, their scars are itchy, but they can't scratch them because they are tied. The Half-Wings are suffering a lot right now. It proves that medical knowledge can be very scary if used wrongly.

The Clowns wait for them to stop screaming while playing a card game like heartless people. But they can only wait, so it's better to kill their time by playing. The Half-Wings finally stop screaming after 15 minutes, so The Clowns stop their game.

"Now, tell me where's my parents' money," says Palu.

"I-I don't have it because we've spent it. P-Please forgive me," says the enemy Captain with a haggard face.

"I want my parents' money, not an apology. Besides, do you think I will believe that the biggest pirate crew in Birka doesn't have enough money for this?" asks Palu while crouching in front of the enemy Captain.

"I-I swear we don't have any hidden wealth," says the enemy Captain.

"Trying to be tough, eh? Let's see if you're truly tough or not," says Cricket.

Cricket tells Deon to take a long rope then he throws it at Palu. Paku catches it and ties it on the enemy Captain's ankles.

"I hope you like sky fish," says Cricket as he picks the enemy Captain on his collar.

Ruff then comes with a bucket filled with the brown stuff. He smears it on the enemy Captain's body and now the guy smells fishy, it's fish bait. Cricket then throws the enemy Captain to the White Sea without any hesitation.

"CAPTAIN!" yells the Half-Wings members.

"Shut up! Or you'll be the next one," says Palu, shutting them up.

It doesn't take long for big waves to appear on the White Sea. The waves are caused by the giant sky fishes that swim toward them after smelling the bait. Now the fishes are aiming to eat the enemy Captain.

The Clowns then watch as the enemy Captain tries to save himself. He can't swim in the White Sea because he is too heavy, unlike the fish. But he can jump around using the fishes' bodies as a foothold.

"Oho, he's quite good at this," praises Cricket.

"Let's make a bet on how long he can survive," says Palu.

"That's a good idea," says Deon.

"I think you can't do that now, a fish has eaten him already," says Manba while pointing at the enemy Captain who has entered a giant flat catfish.

"Ah," says everyone.

The Half-Wings watch in horror as their Captain got eaten by a fish. While The Clowns are very calm and Cricket looks for the rope that tied the enemy Captain. He grabs the rope and then pulls it strongly.

After Cricket pulled the rope, the enemy Captain get pulled along with the catfish. The fish get on the galleon ship while the enemy Captain is still inside the catfish's mouth. Palu then hits the catfish's head with his hammer and kills it instantly so Cricket can pull the enemy Captain out.

Then without asking anything, Cricket throws the enemy Captain to the White Sea again. The same thing happens and they get another fish. They keep doing it a few more times and start to use the other Half-Wings too.

The fishes that they caught have stacked, so they release the fishes now. Cricket looks at the scared Half-Wings and grins, "You are very good fish bait. Maybe you can work as our fish bait if you can't return the money."

"That's a good idea," says Palu.

"N-No, I-I'm sorry. Don't make me your fishbait again. I will tell you where we hide our wealth, so please don't do it again," says the enemy Captain.

The Half-Wings members also nod hastily after hearing their Captain. They don't want to be thrown as fishbaits and get eaten again. This will be a lifetime trauma for them.

The enemy Captain then tells them the location of the wealth. It is in a broken ship that they left on a hidden place in the lower White Sea level. This is a smart move to avoid it from getting discovered by anyone.

If they left it in Birka, then it will get discovered easier. But it will be difficult to guess that they saved their wealth in the sea. The lower level is also a place that rarely gets visited, so it's very safe.

The Clowns go there with the Half-Wings and check all the wealth. Surprisingly, the Half-Wings have a lot of wealth there, especially gold & silver treasures. Of course, The Clowns are very excited about this and they take all of it.

But those aren't the Half-Wings' real treasures. Their real treasures are a few bags of soil that they've accumulated over the years. They got the soil from some ships that they've attacked in the past.

"Done. Now, what should we do to you?" asks Cricket while grinning mischievously.
