How did we get here?
Chapter 20 - The Strongest Among The Weakest

Chapter 20 - The Strongest Among The Weakest

Mikey's ship is about five meters away from the abandomed one. Mikey stops before his ship crashes into the other one and summons three spectral pirates.

He sends the spectral pirates over to the other ship.

"They will explore the ship, once they return I'll get all the information from them." Mikey says.

"That's a good strategy, this way we can prevent any surprise attacks." Ragnar says.

(BOOM!)

Just when Mikey sends his pirates in, the ship explodes, creating a huge fire cloud.

Lucy's hair changes to blue and she creates a big water bubble that shields everyone. The fire cloud dissapears. Mikey's ship somehow didn't catch on fire. Lucy starts choking because of the spell that she used.

"Are you okay Lucy?" Mikey asks her. She keeps choking for a few seconds but regains her breath.

"Yeah, I am good now." She says completely soaked.

"Wait guys, it wasn't this foggy a moment ago was it?" Zoro asks.

He is right, a really heavy fog appeared all around them.

"What's going on here?" Ragnar asks.

Could it be, someone's attribute? Mikey thinks to himself. Fog...

"There are ships around us." Ragnar says. "We're in trouble."

Mikey can feel it, the cold wind, the ships circling around them. He smiles.

"Well, we asked for this didn't we?" He says. "Not like we can back down anyway." He adds.

"That's right." Lucy says. Everyone prepares their weapons, Mikey summons a bunch of spectral pirates.

"What about your green ship?" Zoro asks.

"I still can't use it, because that Kraken destroyed it." He says. "We'll have to do without it."

Mikey orders his spectral pirates to start loading the cannons, but they didn't load them with normal cannonballs. The thing is, Mikey asked Zoro personally if he could make some kind of an explosive powder with his attribute and Zoro did it, all of these cannonballs are coated with an explosive powder that explodes at high friction.

Ragnar and Lucy are both aware of this aswell. This means that when the ship and the special cannonball collide, it will automatically explode because of the extremely high friction.

(BOOM! BOOM!)

Mikey orders his pirates to shoot two cannons in the fog.

(BOOM!)

One of the cannonballs actually hits the target while the other one misses completely and doesn't even explode.

A few silent moments later, silhouettes of five whole ships can be seen near Mikey's ship, three of them are turned sideways, as if they were preparing to shoot their cannons. And two of them are heading straight for Mikey's ship.

"What now? We need to act quick!" Zoro says in distress.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"Lucy! Can you create some kind of a huge wave and send it at one of the ships?" Mikey asks.

"I should be able to. Which one?" Lucy asks.

"One of the ships that's turned sideways." Mikey says.

"Alright." She says as her blonde hair turns blue.

"Ragnar, can you take care of one of the ships by yourself?" Mikey asks as the two ships close in on them.

"Sure, you'll take the other one I assume?" Ragnar asks.

"Yeah, I'll send a few soldiers with you." Mikey says.

"What should I do?" Zoro asks.

"I am giving you the command of my soldiers, they'll listen to you. Take down the other ships. Lucy! Please protect the ship, if it sinks we are done for!" Mikey shouts as he flies off to the other ship.

Mikey lands on the ship, Ragnar lands on the other one.

Mikey looks around to see that he is surrounded by a strange type of monster that he hasn't seen yet. As one of them closes in on him, he realizes that it's not even a monster. The person before him looks almost like a human, just with a few different traits. Differently shaped eyes, longer nose and a strange hair color.

"Captain! This guy looks just like you!" He says in English? This "human" can speak English? Mikey asks himself.

"Huh? What do you mean like me?" A female voice is heard from behind Mikey. He turns around to see a young woman standing in front of him. She's definitely a human.

She's wearing tight clothes with a decolletage that highlight her womanly features. She's holding what seems like a flint knock pistol in her hand. She is a redhead with light brown eyes. Mikey's guess is that her ethnicity is probably European. She's beautiful.

There is the number 301 above her head.

"Well shit, another player huh?" She says without noticing the number one above Mikey's head.

"I am sorry but you set off my trap, I can't let it go to waste now." She says as she points her gun at Mikey.

"Are you sure you want to attack me?" Mikey pulls out his Duskblade and points it above his head. The woman before him realizes that he is Rank 1 and starts almost shaking in fear.

"Are you seriously ranked number 1?

She then realizes that she saw him fight against Claudius in the colloseum.

"Wait... you're the one who fought in that arena and defeated that insanely huge guy... isn't that right?" She asks.

"Yeah, that's me." Mikey says. "And my group isn't weak either. Rank 7, Rank 11 and Rank 222. Ragnar is probably clearing out your other ship by now."

(BOOM)

Multiple explosions can be heard in distance.

"And that's probably Zoro using his explosives to destroy your other ships." Mikey says. "You still sure you want to do this?"

One of the woman's crewmates comes up to her and whispers something to her.

"THREE ALREADY!?" She shouts at him.

"Yes madam." The crewmate says.

The man told her that three of her ships have been already destroyed.

Suddenly the fog behind Mikey clears as a really strong wind literally pushes it away. Lucy and Zoro are heading towards Mikey.

The woman hesitates for a moment, she then sees the numbers above Lucy's and Zoro's head.

"I... I give up." She says with a complete defeat and anger in her eyes.

"Captain, you can't be serious!" One of the crewmate says.

"Since you have seem to lost it, we will fight them on our own!" Another one shouts.

"YEAHHHH!!!!!" They all say as they charge at Mikey.

"You idiots, you haven't seen what that man can do!" She shouts as a last resolve to stop her crew from commiting suicide by fighting Mikey.

Mikey looks at Lucy and Zoro he gestures for them to not intervene. He puts his Duskblade away and takes his usual battle stance.

The woman falls on her knees and watches as Mikey absolutely single-handedly demolishes her crew. However, Mikey makes sure not to kill a single one of the crewmates. That's also the reason why he put his Duskblade away.

Mikey beats up everyone who dares to face him. Once he beats up about half of the woman's crew, the other crewmates realize that there is no chance for them to defeat Mikey.

They surrender.

Mikey comes up to the woman who is now at his mercy...
