Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

"This is the last chance. Next time I will cut off his neck!" Jhin said coldly.

"Name!"

"Yu, Yuta."

The young man tied to the mast looked at his father's miserable condition and the other party's words that did not sound like a joke at all, and finally spoke tremblingly.

"Yuta! You can't give in..."

Bang!

Jhin kicked Zannick in the head, who was still trying to struggle, and knocked him unconscious.

"Sex... Ahem! Who are you? Where are you from? What do you want with him?"

Jhin, who was almost saying what Osi said, quickly changed his words and asked a more important question.

Seeing how rude Jin was, the Shandia boy wanted to say something, but when he saw the other party put the knife directly to his father's neck, he held back.

"I...I'm a candidate warrior for Shandia. I came from the Hidden Cloud Village. There was an emergency in the village so I came to ask my father to return to the village."

"What's the emergency?"

"The Sky Island people's gods are leading the gods to the village again."

"But there's been no news of the patrol sent out by the village to the White Sea, and my father's team hasn't returned in a long time since they went out to look for them."

"So the chief asked me to look for it."

The boy named Jutta told everything.

After all, he is just a thirteen-year-old child. Even though he has established the ideal of becoming the greatest warrior in the tribe like his father since he was a child, he is still not enough in front of a pirate like Jhin who was born in iron and blood.

Moreover, the chief had repeatedly told him before he set out that he must come back immediately after finding Zannik.

The village now has a serious shortage of warriors, and it will be dangerous to face those fully armed divine troops.

However, Jin was not interested in these "god teams" and "villages" and other messy things. But when he saw that the other party had begun to cooperate, he directly asked the most important question.

"Golden City—Shandora, do you know where it is?"

When the boy from Shandia heard the name "Shandora", his pupils suddenly trembled, and this scene happened to be seen by Jin.

"explain."

The sharp blade cut the boy's father's skin, and trickles of blood dripped onto the deck along the blade. Jhin was stimulating the other party in this way.

"I said!"

"Shandora was once our homeland! But hundreds of years ago, it was occupied by those Sky Islanders!"

After the boy roared, he looked at Jhin eagerly, and Jhin looked at Ossi.

"Well, this brat didn't lie."

Little Ossi nodded, then came to Jutta and untied the rope for him.

"Look at you, why didn't you just cooperate earlier? You let your father get stabbed so many times for nothing."

"And Jin, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why do you always like to create these bloody and violent scenes? Look how scared the children are."

The boy who regained his freedom looked at the girl who was younger than him but unusually beautiful with gratitude, and then hurried to his father.

"Hmph! Now that we know 'Shandora' exists, you guys are useless. Just kill them all and throw them overboard."

Jin continued to speak coldly, and the young man was so frightened that he quickly protected his father in front of him.

Osi followed him to Jhin's side.

"That's why I've already told you that it's not easy for people to grow up this big, so don't just kill people all the time."

"Every life is a unique miracle, can't we show a little respect..."

"Sooner or later, your naive ideas will cost you your life!"

"I'm not a fool. I can still tell which ones I can't let go of and which ones I can leave alive."

For example, the man in front of him lying in a pool of blood, although he attacked him first, he was not an unforgivable evil person.

On the contrary, he is a brave warrior who is willing to risk his life to protect his homeland.

Osi would naturally not kill such a person with a shining soul if possible.

Just when Osi and Jin started arguing because of their different ideas, Obe, who had been studying the weapons nearby, took the initiative to come to Zannick and stop the bleeding with a bandage.

"Lift his hands. This kind of penetrating wound needs to stop the bleeding first and then fix it. I'll bandage him now. You can go find two wooden boards later."

"Oh, oh, okay!"

The boy, who was originally a little at a loss, saw someone coming to help bandage the wound and quickly did what the other person said.

Ou Bei first bandaged the shallow wound on the opponent's neck, and then used the shield fragments that the boy found to fix his palm.

"Alright, there's no longer any risk of excessive blood loss. All that's left is rest."

After Oubei packed up the bandages and alcohol, he stood up and prepared to leave. It was then that Yuta realized that there was not a drop of blood on the other person's hands.

"Thank you! What's your name?"

"Ouba."

Oubey replied in his somewhat inorganic voice.

"And the person you should thank isn't me, but that red-haired idiot over there."

"Your father attacked her first, but she decided to let you go. Otherwise, all of you would have died here today."

Upon hearing this, the young boy Uta glanced at the girl who was still saying strange things to Jinn like "People are born from their mothers..." and decided that he must apologize to the other party on behalf of his father.

"Uh... Yu-Yuta."

At this time, Zannick had already woken up. It must be said that as the strongest warrior of Shandia's generation, his physical fitness was really beyond reproach.

After suffering so much torture from Jhin, he still woke up earlier than the Shandia warriors who were captured with him.

"Father, you're awake! I'm here!"

"you……"

Zanik wanted to say something else, but Jin and Ossi, who were in the middle of a debate, noticed him.

"Hey~ Are you awake?"

"The operation was successful. You are now a qualified girl."

"what?"

Zannick, who had been on guard and wanted to shield his son in front of him, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately touched his lower body, but he could not feel anything because of the splint on his hand.

"Pfft~ I was just kidding."

"Okay, so your village is called Kumogakure, right? It sounds like it's full of big brown guys..."

"Take us there first, now."

"You, what are you talking about! How could I possibly bring dangerous guys like you back to the village!"

Hearing that the other party was going to the village, Zannik immediately stood up despite the pain.

"Is that so? But your son just said that your village is being invaded by those 'God Team'. Is it really okay to continue to waste time with us like this?"

"What? Those Sky Island people are here again?"

Hearing this, Zannick looked at his son anxiously.

"That's right, father."

"The chief told me to bring you back as soon as I found you! The village's defenses are weak right now."

"hateful……"

Zannick was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

The population of the Hidden Cloud Village was not large to begin with, and now that he, the warrior captain, and two teams of guerrilla soldiers were missing, I was afraid that the Sky Island people would seize the opportunity to wipe out the entire tribe in one fell swoop.

"Choose."

Ossi sat on the side of the boat and looked down at the two of them with a condescending smile.

Chapter 130 Two Clans

"God of Sky Island, what brings you here?"

Under the statue of the great warrior "Kalgora" carved from island clouds, the chieftain of the Shandian people, wearing a wolf-head decoration and somewhat tattered clothes, asked the "God" of the sky island opposite.

Behind him were the fully armed and alert Shandia warriors.

However, the number of these warriors is not too large, only less than 200, and there are even some women among them.

In comparison, the opposing Sky Island God Team has more than 300 members, and each of them is equipped with sophisticated standard weapons.

"Chief Shandia, I have not come here to reignite the war, but for the future of both tribes."

Gan Fowle, the "God" of Sky Island, dressed in a gorgeous white robe and flanked by several priests, spoke.

He was only in his thirties at the time, in the prime of his life.

"Do not make jokes!"

Without waiting for the equally young chief to speak again, a Shandia warrior with a missing wing stepped forward and started cursing.

"You Sky Island bastards took our home away from us, and now you're coming here talking about the future?!"

"You can have peace! All of you Sky Islanders, get out of here. Return Shandora to us, and then we can talk!"

After he finished speaking, the Shandia warriors behind him echoed him, beating their shields rhythmically to show their stance.

Of course, the people on the opposite Sky Island were not willing to be outdone. They directly raised the bows and arrows in their hands.

"'Arpaiado' was given to us by God. Why should we give it to you?"

A member of Team God responded without giving in, saying that this was also the consensus of all Sky Islanders.

In fact, these Sky Island people have always had the habit of picking up things that were washed up from Qinghai by the strong ocean currents on the beach.

Among them, "soil", something that has never existed on Sky Island, is regarded as the most precious treasure by all Sky Islanders.

They called it 'Bath' and established a belief in 'Bath'.

This continued every day until four hundred years ago.

When the people of Sky Island arrived at the beach as usual, they found that the strong current brought up not those bubbles the size of fists and backpacks, but an entire island.

Everyone was stunned, some even knelt down on the spot to thank this gift from heaven and called it 'Apaiado', which means 'the holy land given by God'.

Then, naturally, a war broke out between the Sky Islanders who wanted to obtain "Bass" and the Shandia people who wanted to defend their homeland.

In the end, the war between the two ethnic groups over land came to a temporary end with the Shandia people being driven out of their homeland, Shandora.

But as a certain 'Father of the Soviet Union' once said - "This is not the end, not even the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning."

In the following hundreds of years, the Shandians fought a protracted battle with the Sky Islanders in order to regain their homeland.

The endless wars made both sides pay a heavy price. The population of the weaker side, the Shandia people, was reduced to less than one-tenth of what it was four hundred years ago, and they were on the brink of extinction.

……

Seeing their own men gradually losing control, Gan Fore and Chief Shandia both tapped their canes helplessly.

In fact, both of them were willing to achieve reconciliation between the two races, but the blood feud between the Sky Islanders and the Shandians for hundreds of years was no longer something that could be resolved by a few words from their two leaders.

Even though both of them hold important positions, they ultimately have to consider the opinions of the entire tribe, so they can only maintain a tacit understanding of trying not to start a war.

"Chief Shandia, I know that the conflict between our two tribes cannot be reconciled for the time being, but I am not here with any ill intentions today."

"Instead, I'm here to tell you about a great threat that both of our races may face."

Taking out a photo from his pocket, Gan For declined the companionship of the priests on both sides and walked alone to the Shandian side.

Amid the hostile and wary gazes of the Shandia warriors across from him, he handed the photo to the chief.

“Hmm? This, this is…!”

The chief, who originally had dead eyes, widened his eyes after seeing the scene in the photo clearly!

"What's wrong, Chief?!"
