Waking up in a new body, straked with pain, lying on the wooden floor of a ship, Allen wanted to believe this was a prank, he remembered reading about people reincarnated as some fantasy hero from another world when he was a teenager but it was all power fantasy books that had some god or divine being pushing an ordinary man to be a hero.
This was not his life, he was a programmer for a renowned security corporation and had a life to live, not sure what the time dilation on the prank program was he needed to finish the stupid "quest" he got to anchor at the village and then see how he was going to get out of here.
"Battle stations" he cried using his skill, and the Orca crew moved to their posts, having over thirty giant meremen with killer whale origin was a fun addition to his situation and this seemed like it was going to be fun, the fact that the black and white people were all naked didn't bother him since this was all just a game.

"Fire Chasers" he read the command from his prompt skill list and the twin cannons at the front of the ship boomed, a small ploom of smoke washing the figurine at the head of the ship.

"Fire Chasers" he cried again when he recieved the message, thinking he should shoot faster he didn't wait for the system message this time before shouting "Fire Chasers" again.

The ship in front of him started turning its broadside towards him and he decided to try something else, he concentrated on the other ship, hands on the rudder and aimed his prow at the enemy's guiding ropes, holding his breath and waiting for the exact hight on the wave's crest he screamed "Fire Chasers", the boom was muffled by his concentration, he looked as one shot passed to the right of the other ship and hitting the water but his other shot hit the guides dead center, exploding ropes unwound as the main and stay sails of the other ship dropped on its decks

Not sure what the credits were for he decided to investigate later, another cannon bloomed on the other ship, but its broadside was mostly a wreck, he aimed his front battery at the firing cannon and shot the whole broadside at the other ship.

Wondering what the increased payment was for he shot one last time before the other ship was out of his port range, he turned the wheel but the enemy also responded this time turning its prow on allens' ship and maneuvering to stay in the shadow of his fire, it was pretty close by now and he decided to try and attack it with his crew of giant monsters.
The ships almost collided when he remembered to order the attack, instead he heard someone shout "now" from the other ship and people started swinging to his decks.
"ALL HANDS ON DECK" he cried ant the Orca giants materialised as if from thin air, wielding hammers and and saws of giant proportions they fell on the attacking people like an avalanche of flesh and doom, the "players" attacking his ship were shocked, stanging there staring at the behemoths trampling and smashing them to death in seconds, he recieved over twenty death notices from the system, oddly enough not all the attackers were "players" and when the last "player" died the others were quick to surrender.
[System: Notice 210M you captured the Devastatious' deed, would you like to add the ship to your fleet? Y/N]
"Yes, ofcourse" he said out loud, and the ship aura turned green in his vision, parts of it were visibly shattered and he had no idea how to fix it when the message popped up.
[System: Notice 210M ships in your fleet are damaged, would you like to issue a repair quest for
"Sure" he thought and the quest log popped in his vision, listing damages and resources and also pointing the nearest port was not the village he was going to before.
Looking towards the village he noticed a small fleet of boats making their way to him, but soon recieved the message.

And realised this was probably the crew from the other ship and them not being on it was the reason it couldn't fight, he positioned the Odacious between them and their ship and shouted "Surrender immediately or I will shoot you".
The first boat had some kind of mage on it because a lightning blasted at his mast when the "player" raised her hands, he aimed one of his broadside batteries at them and fired, the seven cannons boomed and the boat became a shower of water, blood and splinters, all the other boats stopped moving forward and were holding their hands up in the air.

Seeing the extra credits on one of the notes he figured the other spike was also from some high level "player" and decided to check on it later.
