This kid is incredible!
- He fights with Nidam on equal terms!
Through the flying wood chips and clouds of dust, the battle could be glimpsed from time to time. A little further from the epicentre of the battle, the crew members could not contain their amazement. Those who had previously mocked Murphy now stood there with a shamefaced look - everything that was happening completely contradicted their ideas.
If two thugs had started such a massacre, they would not have been surprised. But one of the combatants was even smaller and thinner than them, yet he stood firm and did not give in - this was beyond their comprehension.
And now, when these two had been exchanging blows for a whole minute, it seemed that this little guy was even gaining strength with each blow!
This violation of the laws of nature completely turned their picture of the world upside down, practically depriving them of the ability to think.
Nidam was also well aware of the situation. Her greatest asset, her enormous strength, did not give her any advantage. The small figure opposite her possessed incredible strength, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not break it.
This couldn't go on like this!
Nydam leaned forward, using her large frame to her advantage, and put all her strength into one crushing blow.
Boom!
The tense fight was immediately interrupted - Murphy retreated half a step back. Nydam, taking advantage of this gap, did not pursue him, but retreated deeper into the captain's cabin.
A heavy combat chain with a ball appeared in her hand. This was her cabin, and the weapons were naturally stored here. Nydam's thought was simple: if there were weapons, then why continue the fist fight with the boy?
This frail body - one hit with the chain is enough for her to win!
Shuh! Shuh!
The huge battle chain rhythmically cut through the air in her hands as if it weighed nothing. Even a simple swing created powerful air pressure.
- You bastard, you asked for it! Try this!
She grinned evilly and charged at Murphy, her massive form and heavy weapon resembling a giant war chariot.
"D-damn it, she's asking for it," Murphy muttered, the excitement already fading in his eyes.
Needham's reaction instantly deprived him of all interest. He had only matched her strength because he wanted to test himself, but that did not mean he was ready to meet this fearsome weapon head-on. And since Needham had made such a choice, Murphy had abandoned the idea of a simple power struggle as well.
However, fighting with bare hands was a certain limitation. Weapons were important, and the issue of finding or buying them had to be resolved in the near future.
As Nydam approached, Murphy could already feel the wind from her movements. He bent his knees slightly, then pushed off sharply and ran straight towards her.
In the blink of an eye, Nidam was in front of him, her battle chain whistling as it sliced through the air from top to bottom.
Poof!
Murphy stopped abruptly, avoiding a crushing blow, and the chain's momentum drove it into the deck.
He covered his face with his left hand from the flying chips, and at that moment he moved with a light jump to the side of the Nidas.
He lifted his right leg and kicked her hard in the knee. Nydam lost her balance and began to fall to the side.
Murphy used the recoil to push off and fly into the air, landing directly over his opponent's head. He then spun in mid-air and used the force of rotation and gravity to bring his right foot down on Nydam.
Nidam didn't even have time to pull her chain out of the floor, and could only instinctively cover her head with her hands.
Boom!
The impact of such enormous force slammed half of her body into the deck beneath her, and she lost consciousness for a moment. At that moment, she probably didn't even suspect that this brief moment of unconsciousness would become eternal for her...
In combat, losing consciousness is a terrible thing, especially in front of an opponent who knows how to take advantage of any opportunity.
And as luck would have it, Murphy was just that kind of person. He didn't wait for his opponent to recover, didn't waste time talking before the killing blow. Instead, without stopping, he continued to build up strength in his falling body and stomped with all his might on the huge head below.
Krr.
Since Nidam had drawn her heavy weapon, she had managed to utter only one threat, and she had no more opportunity to speak. Her neck twisted at an impossible angle, and the life left her body.
However, she herself asked for such a miserable death.
Bam! Bam!
Murphy, looking at the massive body, was still unsure and delivered a few more kicks to the crooked head.
In this world, living beings had incredible vitality. What seemed like death was often just a dying state, and after treatment they could return to life as if nothing had happened.
For example, that Mori that Nidam hit twice - his chest hadn't even moved until recently, he was on the verge of death, and now he was staring at Nidam's corpse with wide eyes. And his eyes were so wide that even the frame of his glasses couldn't hide them.
Perhaps the noise of the battle woke him up, or maybe he was just playing dead?
Murphy scratched his chin thoughtfully with his index finger, but soon pushed the thoughts aside, no longer thinking about them.
In the end, it didn't matter to him. He simply didn't want to suffer unexpected defeats, and he didn't want to face an enemy he thought was dead in the future. And now, after destroying the enemy, it was time to collect the spoils!
— Is it all over?
- Did Nidam lose?
- How is this possible?!
From afar, shouts could be heard - a dozen pirates were looking at the battlefield with their jaws hanging open, as if in a dream.
They thought the battle had just begun, but it was already over. Even more incredible was that the mountain that had been pressing on them for years suddenly disappeared.
For a moment, everyone was frozen in stupor, but then, as their brains began to work again, emotions that had been suppressed for years burst out like a volcanic eruption.
- Is it really over? Are we free?
- Hahahaha... She's dead!
- Wait, let's check if this fat woman is still breathing. By the way, I want to give her one more blow!
— We must thank our savior!
Sometimes freedom comes suddenly... People screamed until they were hoarse and roared at the top of their voices.
Murphy watched as a middle-aged pirate, tears streaming down his face, spread his arms as if embracing the entire sea, crying and laughing at the same time. And if the whole scene were to be summed up in one sentence, perhaps it would be that everyone suddenly went crazy.
Murphy couldn't even imagine that all the members of this team were so deeply depressed. After all, as a random passerby, it was quite difficult for him to understand.
He ignored all these wild, uncontrollable displays of joy, but simply took the chest and went up on deck. Their celebration could go on for a long time, but he was too lazy to do it. The chest was more important than any consequences.
However, looking at the combination lock in front of him, Murphy was quite puzzled.
- Eight-digit combination lock, great!
It is not surprising that Mori, having looked at this lock, did not even try to open it and immediately despaired. Going through the combinations one by one - how long would it take?
Absolutely hopeless. Well then...
Murphy gathered all his strength and with all his might pulled the lid of the chest!
Krr!
It's that simple!
They were truly fools, no wonder they were oppressed!
