The witch thought I am a Demon God-Chapter 510 - 300: Recruiting 100 Professionals Troops and the Ghost Captain, Phantom Pirates on the Sea_1
At the Transfer Port, the Ghost Ship arrived, and from the broken down ship emerged a lineup of seemingly ordinary pirates. They all wore tricorn hats and outdated sailor clothes that seemed decades old. But they were not ghosts; they were made of flesh and blood. Moreover, they weren’t particularly handsome.
With the disembark of these dozens of pirates, everyone at the port was frightened and scattered, each one shouting, ’The Ghost Ship has arrived!’
On the street, a little boy innocently observed the Ghost Ship Pirates disembarking at the pier while asking his mother. "Mom, why do they say they are from the Ghost Ship? They look just like regular humans."
"They have flesh and blood, just like you and dad."
"Dad is even more handsome than them."
The boy’s mother looked terrified at the approaching Ghost Ship Pirates, covering her son’s mouth.
As the pirates approached, a thin layer of frost formed on the ground, and an unearthly coldness permeated.
The Ghost Ship Captain leading the pack was a young man dressed in a tricorn hat, a golden-hilted curved sword, and a black gun strapped to his waist. He looked down at the boy and woman next to him, and as he opened his mouth, even the mist in the air crystallized.
He said, "I am Captain Dardani Crook. Tell me, where are the evil people the Valji Family wants me to find, Ivita Augustus?"
The woman clung to her son in fear, looking hopefully at the Ghost Ship Captain. "If I tell you, will you leave? I heard that they are recruiting professionals on the street over there."
She pointed in a direction.
The woman pleaded, "My son is not even seven years old yet. Please let him live; let him see more of this world. I beg you, Captain Crook."
The next moment, a gleaming curved sword darted towards her. It looked like the blade would pierce both her and her son— skewering them like kebabs.
The woman’s face turned deathly pale, full of despair. In a place where everyone had already fled, who could save her?
But just then, Ghost Ship Captain Dardani Crook suddenly drew a scimitar from his waist, countering the First Mate’s sword with his.
First Mate Clark of the Ghost Ship looked incredulously at his captain. "Captain, why won’t you let me kill them?"
Ghost Ship Captain Dardani Crook said, "Why kill a child and a mother? Although we are indeed pirates, the dreaded Ghost Ship, we are not demons."
Ghost Ship Captain Dardani Crook surprisingly sheathed his weapon in public, then raised both hands skyward, shaping a holy number ’4’. This is a very regular prayer gesture of the Church of the Lord of All Things. He spoke like a devout believer, "Please forgive me, the Almighty Heavenly Father~ Today, I am going to commit a deed that displeases you once again, but this time it is to help my friends from the Valji Family and to get rid of the demon described by the Valji Family."
"Amen~"
Dardani looked at his First Mate and said, "Destroy all the pirate ships on the seashore, as well as all the ships currently moored in the Transfer Port that could potentially lend the demon Ivita their ships."
"At the same time, we move towards the Valji Family mansion. This time we aren’t aiming to exterminate the evil Ivita, but to rescue the members of the Valji Family who have been kidnapped by him. This is our duty as friends and our obligation as believers to the Church of the Lord of All Things."
"Let’s go."
The Ghost Ship Pirates strode past the woman like an army, scaring her into collapsing to the ground with her child in her arms. At this time, the child in the mother’s arms saw the reflection in the puddle on the street. And he finally understood why these pirates were the dreaded Ghost Ship Pirates.
Because in the water’s reflection, these seemingly ordinary pirates were seen draped in ragged, rotten clothes, with decayed faces and swollen, foul-smelling eyes—a bunch of decaying corpses.
Their true faces were fully revealed in the reflection of the water.
The sea is the place that reflects the truth best.
The child covered his mouth and heaved. As the Ghost Ship Pirates were almost done passing by, one pirate at the end of the line suddenly turned his gaze towards him.
The child was frightened and tried to run, but he tripped over his feet and fell down in his mother’s arms.
The pirate from the Ghost Ship threw back his head and laughed heartily. His companions — the First Mate, the Boatswain, and Captain Dardani Crook — all laughed uproariously. In the puddle’s reflection, it was a row of decaying corpses laughing.
Very eerie.
Some of the Ghost Ship Pirates raised their weapons and charged toward the beach. They lit torches, setting the pier and the ships on fire, while others were en route to the Valji mansion.
The weakest of the Ghost Ship Pirates were all second-tier official knights, and they were all undead, so it was no wonder that they had intimidated the pirates ashore as soon as they landed.
At the shore of the Transfer Port, several tri-masted heavy-duty ships and dual-masted medium-sized ships sank due to the fire.
