A savage growl roared from its mouth, and its face, marked with special symbols, contorted into a terrifying expression. It stared intently at the boy in its field of vision, wishing it could devour him alive.

Of course, this anger was not due to the damage to surrounding ships or the casualties among his men!

This urgent need to vent anger stems from this embarrassment!

Utterly embarrassing!!

If you lose your men, you can recruit more; if you lose your ships, you can build more and plunder more.

However, once this unprecedented decline is established, his power and his rule will suffer the most fatal blow!

I will never allow anyone to challenge my authority!

"come!"

"Come on, you brat!"

He roared, his eyes bloodshot, his nerves taut, his slender rapier pointed directly at the boy in his field of vision.

Huang had no reason to refuse such a request. He slowly raised his right hand and placed it on the hilt of the blade. His cold posture, with his foot on the ram, exuded a strong bloody aura at this moment.

Like this cruel pirate leader, he was not a good person.

Both even share similarities: their hands are stained with countless blood, and they bear the burden of countless lives lost.

However, the difference lies in:

All those he killed were his enemies, all of whom wanted him dead.

But the seemingly imposing pirate leader before them was actually stained with the blood of ordinary people, commoners who were powerless to even kill a chicken.

So-called authority and power are all created by bullying the weak!

【Clear Mirror, Still Water - Open!】

The oppressive, bloody atmosphere grew even stronger.

Faintly, it seemed as if the dead souls were wailing and howling all around!

These are certainly not the vengeful spirits from this island, but rather the souls that perished under the blade of Huang!

[The Night Parade of Ghosts - Revealed!]

One after another, illusory figures of shikigami appeared on its back. Unlike the Night of the Massacre, the one at the top was no longer Yukari, but Hououka and Kyūjōra, followed by eleven other yokai, including Iruizuki and Jinmenju...

The black demonic aura that suddenly appeared was much more vivid and solid than that night!

After all, the strength of the monsters has doubled!

It leaped off the ramming horn and landed steadily on the deck, its sharp blade seemingly singing a bloodthirsty song with its sheath.

As the distance closed, the surging aura relentlessly pressured the crazed pirate leader.

And in that instant of contact, the 'sticky' and nauseating smell of blood, and the ghostly howls that seemed to come from 'the underworld', caused this seemingly fierce and insane middle-aged man to involuntarily bend half his body, and the rapier he was tightly gripping fell onto the deck with a 'clatter'!

At the same time, the pirate leader, burdened with endless blood debts, felt a blur before his eyes, and the approaching boy vanished from his sight.

but!

But he knew!

He knew it perfectly well!

That guy was right in front of him, right beside him!

The sudden surge of blood, the constant roaring of cells, and the violent trembling of the body were all warning and alerting us to one thing!

Invincible!

The person before me is invincible!

‘Squeak. ’

'Squeak! '

The 'slight' sound of the wooden planks being crushed pierced through the roar of the surging waves, striking the man's nerves directly.

It's almost here!

That guy is approaching!!

'Boom. '

Overwhelmed by the weight, he suddenly collapsed to his knees on the deck.

“Hehehe…”

The violent, terrified gasps seemed to expel all the breaths he could ever take in his life. His ten fingers, pressed against the deck, trembled and shook incessantly, leaving clear handprints on the long-uncleaned deck. Cold sweat poured down his face.

As the young man arrived, his figure gradually came into view, and he slowly raised the horizontal sword in his hand.

At the very least, make him remember what he looks like, and let him live in fear even in purgatory.

"Please."

Suddenly, a faint sound rang out.

He was a pirate leader who was forced to the ground simply by being confronted with his imposing presence.

At this moment, he finally realized clearly what a terrifying being he had provoked!

"Please, spare me, spare me! All my wealth, everything I have, is yours."

His voice was humble and his tone trembled as he pleaded, and he struggled to lift his head, while the arrogance and madness that had been etched on his face vanished completely.

Huang remained unmoved, merely staring coldly at him.

"I am willing, I am willing to submit, I am willing to become your most loyal servant, I am willing to serve you for eternity, I am willing to do everything for you!"

He suddenly pulled up the boy's trouser leg, his eyes filled with primal fear.

"it is good."

The cold words were uttered from the boy's lips.

In an instant, like a spring breeze or a sudden burst of light after darkness, a glimmer of hope for life suddenly appeared in the eyes of the pirate leader, who was as lowly as dust.

But the voice that followed was still cold and distant.

It is still filled with hatred and loathing!

"Would you be willing to do anything for me?"

The pirate leader, who was clutching the devil's trouser leg, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

"Then go to hell!"

"Don't go the wrong way, you scum."

Cold indifference filled Huang's eyes, and the horizontal sword in mid-air moved without the slightest hesitation.

As blood stained the deck, a terrified object, with a thud, plunged into the azure sea along with the rocking ship.

At the same time, pairs of grayish-white phantom hands eagerly reached up from the seabed, vying to drag the unseeing creature back into the ocean.

The area around my ears became a little quieter.

Huang slowly withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on his surroundings.

They were a group of trembling pirate crew members.

"Ready to go down together?"

"Otherwise, your leader will be lonely."

The moment he finished speaking, the undying karmic fire surged from beneath his feet and engulfed everything around him. No matter how desperately his pirate companions pleaded, the boy standing in the flames remained unmoved.

As for jumping into the sea?

Ah.

The giant waves are still raging.

For these villains, this place is a dead end!

Any struggle is futile.

There is no escape.

At the same time, after seeing the flagship engulfed in flames and the escort boats, none of which survived, they...

The remaining pirates who stayed on the shore also panicked.

A frenzied roar erupted at that moment, and in an instant, several turrets issued a unified command:

"fire!"

"fire!!"

"Fire at the flagship!!!"

At this moment, they couldn't care less about anything else. There was only one possibility that caused the flagship to plunge into the sea of ​​fire: their leader had been killed!

Otherwise, how could one possibly fall into such a predicament?

"But........"

"But what if the boss is still alive?"

One of the pirates responsible for launching the cannonballs hesitated. He squatted behind the giant cannon, tilted his head back, and asked the most practical question.

After all, they had all witnessed the leader's bloody methods. Once they disobeyed, death was the easiest thing to do. What was truly terrifying was being trapped in endless torment!

Moreover, at this point, it's only the flagship that's on fire, and everything is still uncertain.

As for the unseeing object rolling and falling into the sea, they did not see it due to the surrounding giant waves, the angle of the ship's movement, and the great distance between them.

Upon hearing this, the minor leader in charge of the artillery position trembled violently, clearly having also considered the terrifying consequences.

However, the sounds of artillery fire from other positions could already be heard.

A fierce look immediately appeared on his face, his ferocious appearance like that of the dead pirate captain reborn!

"Then let's wipe them all out!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling, bone-deep coldness, and a sinister smile, seemingly unintelligible, even crept across his lips.

'They've been lording it over everyone for so long, it's time for a change of leadership.'
