"Huff…Huff…Huff…Huff…"
Looking at the large guy who is now on the ground, I feel my body relax a bit, and my breathing becomes uneven.
Even though the fight didn't even take 20 seconds from start to finish, it felt like it took hours.
'I am not a violent guy to begin with, but thank goodness that my barbaric side was able to act on the need.'
Just when I was a bout to let my guard down and focus on my next move, a voice responded from the deck.
"OI! What was that noise!"
"I saw it, that deadfish-eyed kid just beat down Fiadh!"
"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
They are the rest of the pirate crew!
"Damn!"
I couldn't help but curse, The danger is not out yet, no, it was even starting.
"What to do-"
"Capture him!"
"Fire!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
With no hesitation whatsoever, the sailors started shooting their guns at me.
Tak!
Tak!
Buff!
Tak!
Buff!
"AHH!"
Tak!
Tak!
I got down to the ground the moment they started taking out their guns.
But I wasn't fast enough, as two bullets hit my leg and the left arm I was using to protect my head with.
"S-Shit!"
While I screamed from the sudden pain, I started crawling to the corridor while dragging my leg and arm.
Seeing the blood flowing from my arm and leg, I started panicking.
Thankfully, my breathing was according to the Hamon rhythm. And the ripples started flowing to my injured limbs.
Feeling it controlling the projectiles out of my body, I was able to get the bullets out, and the wounds started closing.
'This was fast, but I am not complaining.'
"Oi! Stop shooting you dumb suckers! You are only wasting bullets and damaging my ship!"
I could hear the voice of the captain shouting at his crew. I can't imagine myself being thankful for him, but I am.
'But I still need to get out of here. And I also need a weapon-'
"He should be injured now! Get up there, use your swords and grab him for me!" the Captain's voice resounded again.
"Aye, sir!" the crew responded to the captain.
"Damn it!"
Hearing the sound of the swords being unsheathed, I couldn't help but curse again.
'Just when I was grateful to the shitty Captain! No, there is no time for that! Quick! I need a weapon!'
I wanted something to pay for the Box and get a gun. And looking around, I saw the rope I was tied with.
Pulling it towards me and even using the Hamon to control it.
Opening The Box and putting the whole rope inside it, I hurriedly close it and wish for what I need right now.
'A gun and magazines.'
As I wished, the Box responded, and the other side of the Box opened.
With urgency, I flip the Box and take out its contents.
There was a gun and five magazines, which is more than I hoped, but I will take them gladly.
The sound of the pirates' steps was getting closer, I left them no time for that and peeked my gun-holding hand out of the corridor and started shooting in their direction.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
"AHHH!"
"He Has A Gun!"
"FU*K!"
"TAKE COVER!"
The cowardly pirates acted fast and retreated up the stairs.
"IT HURTS!"
"How Can You Still Talk When You Are Shot In The Chest?!"
"There Is No Blood!"
"It didn't go through his skin!"
"Fu*k You Are One Lucky SonVaBitch!"
'What?'
When I heard the words of the pirates, I took a look at the gun in my hand.
'Damn! It is a rubber bullet gun!'
While it is usually okay, as I don't want to kill anyone. This is a real battle here, and I could die at any moment. So, having a really dangerous weapon is preferable.
'I can actually do something with this.'
I only tried it once on the island, it could work even better here.
Taking a deep breath according to the Hamon rhythm, the Hamon flows to my gun as I take the shot.
The gun sound reverberated, and the sound of something breaking reached my ear!
Another shot, and something else breaks. But this time, I hear someone scream in pain.
'It worked!'
What I used right now was the Hamon Crush Overdrive!
When I first invented it, I thought that I could use it in combination with a gun.
I just had to compact the frequency of the ripple in the bullet before shooting.
Using the same method, I take another shot.
The bullet landed, and I heard more breaking sounds and screaming from the filthy pirates.
"What Is Happening?!"
"What Was That?!"
"That MotheFcker Got A Powerful Gun!"
"Get back! Get Back!"
"From where the hell did he get that?!"
"Could he be…!"
"Fire! Fire!"
The gun shooting resumed, and seeing the current situation, I couldn't continue like that.
Even if I got more firepower, it just gave me an advantage and didn't solve the problem.
'I can't jump into the water. Even if I somehow was able to get away from the ship and wasn't rained with bullets, I am now injured.'
'Moreover, I don't want to be helpless in the storm like what happened before.'
Can't expect to do the same thing twice and get different results, it would not be just stupid in my case, but plain suicidal.
'Then the best course of action for me now is to make use of this ship. But this group of sea thieves that are lost in time won't let me.'
'Also, I don't trust them either.'
With all of that into consideration, I got a crazy idea in my mind.
'The only way for me now is to take down all the bastards on the ship!'
'Or to get a strong leverage over them so I can negotiate with them.'
'Which will also require me to take most of them down.'
'The two ways require me to take a lot of them down, so the way for me forward is clear.'
"I will have to take over the ship!"
'Damn, that sounded edgy as hell.'
Even though I am thinking this way, a smile crept over my lips.
Looks like Hikigaya Hachiman also enjoys violence.
Since I decided to take over this ship, I need to take down the crew.
The sounds of bullets being fired are still resounding, the projectiles hitting the place I am in, and the shards are flying around me.
'I have to stop this, I also need to distract them, and I need to get the upper hand!'
With the requirement needed for me right now is high, the only way for it is to get an item to help me turn the situation around.
And immediately, I got a clue for the equipment that could help me.
'This could work, with it I can level the field. To get the advantage, I will require another thing.'
From the five extra magazines I have, I take three of them and put them inside the Box.
After wishing for what I want, the other side opens, and I take out the needed objects.
In my hand now where three Smoke Grenades and a very small water bottle.
The Smoke Grenades will give me the distraction and the cover that I need to take them down.
As for the water bottle, this will be my advantage.
'I was able to do it when I was fishing before, this should be the same.'
With the plan and the equipment in my hand, all that is left is for me to do it.
'I will need to do everything in a fast sequence. Don't overthink it, just act!'
No need for hesitation, I take the pins of the grenades off one by one and throw them at the crew.
"Huh? What is that?"
"YOU IDIOTS, IT IS A BOMB!"
"DAFUCK!"
"He GOT BOMB!"
"THAT LUNATIC MOTHERFU*KER IS GOING TO KILL US ALL!"
The voice of the panicking pirates reaches my ears. Looks like they thought I was using normal grenades.
'That is unexpected, but it's good, they are in chaos!'
"ABANDON THE SHIP!"
"ABANDON THE FU*KING SHIP!"
"JUMP!"
"JUMP!"
Puffffffffffffffffffffff!
Puffffffffffffffffffffff!!
Puffffffffffffffffffffff!!!
The Smoke Bombs started generating a lot of smoke, and in a few seconds, the whole deck was filled with smoke.
Some of the pirates jumped before the smoke started, but that is okay. The rest are still on the ship and are in the range of the smoke cover.
Then I start breathing with concentration to the rhythm, quickly I start channeling the Ripples through my injured arm to the small water bottle.
This will serve two things, first, it will help my injured arm to recover and stop the wound.
Secondly and most importantly, the Hamon concentrated in the water will eventually flow back to my arm, then to my body, then to the deck, and will finally make contact with the pirates on the ships.
In a few moments, I was able to feel the life force of the pirates on the deck, and I could almost see them like I were wearing night vision goggles.
And of course, the best thing is…
'They can't see me!'
Readying my gun and taking aim, I shoot the filthy sea bandits.
BANG!
"AAHHHHH!"
BANG!
"GAAHHH!"
BANG!
"OOHHHH!"
Using my special bullets in my hunt, it only takes one bullet to take down a pirate.
"I CoughCough* breath…"
"I CAN'T SEE!"
BANG!
"COUGH WHO IS SHOOTING?!"
BANG!
"AAAHHHH!"
"DON'T SHOOT YOU BASTERED!"
"IT IS THE LUNATIC LITTLE SHIT!"
BANG!
"Coagh HE IS SHOOTING FROM ABOVE!"
"STOP HIM!"
"SHOOT!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG!
"GAAHHHH!"
BANG! BANG!
Bullets were flying everywhere, it was complete chaos.
Unfortunately for them, while they are shooting blindly at me, who is fully behind cover, and only the muzzle of my gun is out. I knew exactly where they were, even without seeing them.
BANG!
"AAAHHHHH!"
BANG!
"OOOOHHHH!"
Click!
One bullet, one pirate, my magazine is empty, so I had to reload.
"THIS ISN'T Cough WoRKING!"
"HE IS GOING TO KILL US!Cough"
"YOU FU*KECough THROW AWAYCough THE BOMB INTO THE CoughSEA!"
"THROW IT!"
"THROW IT!"
'Sorry, I can't let you'
With my gun loaded again, I now aim at anyone who is trying to get close to the bombs.
BANG!
"AAAHHH!"
BANG!
"GAAAHHHH!"
Any brave one trying to get hold of the bomb is taken down with one bullet.
BANG!
"YAAAHHHHH!"
Any braver one trying to climb the stairs will get the bullet, too.
BANG!
"OOOHHHHH!"
And lastly, any coward trying to jump from the ship is shot too.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
I can hear their screams and their desperation, usually it will be unnerving, but eerily, with every one of them down, with every scream of pain, with new ones on the ground, I was feeling increasingly relieved.
That would have been a very alarming sign for me, but I didn't care about that now.
I want them down!
BANG!
I want them still!
BANG!
I want to feel…safe…
Click!
The second magazine is empty.
Just when there are only two pirates left standing, the bullets run out.
But luckily, I had the last magazine in my pocket.
Click-Clack!
The new magazine is on, and my gun was reloaded.
Splash!
One of the two pirates left jumped when I stopped shooting.
'Well, let's get this one down and see what to do with the re…'
/A throwing Knife at his unguarded back/
'What was that?'
I immediately turn around to see a wet pirate climbing sneakily over the ship's side fence and holding a knife ready to throw it.
"Whaa…!"
The pirate was visibly surprised and wanted to hurriedly throw the knife at me.
Not giving him the chance, I aimed and shot at him hurriedly too.
BANG!
"OOOHHHHH!"
Splash!
The sneaking pirate was shot and fell back into the water.
But I wasn't paying attention to him as I was thinking about what that voice was just now.
'Did he tell me himself? No, it didn't sound like it. And why would he do that when he is trying to sneak on me? Then what is it? Did I hear the voice of his thoughts? But how cou…'
Vizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
While I was in my thoughts, I heard a loud and dangerous sound!
Turning my head to it, I saw a two-headed axe spinning like a cyclone, soaring toward me.
…
