"Your Majesty, it is as the report said, the vast majority of the pirates that were previously present in the port of the capital have now begun fighting for an unknown reason, we are still trying to figure out why," said General Poef as he slightly bowed his head towards the King, who was sitting on his throne with a dark look on his face.

"What's the casualty estimate right now?" asked King Kusta as he looked at the general, causing a single bead of sweat to fall down the latter's forehead.

"The latest report says that the casualties are around 700, but they were quickly rising, it is unknown what level they have reached by now," said General Poef, causing the King to suddenly open his mouth without any hesitation.

"Poef, you have my authorization, begin engaging the pirates in battle, we cannot let this get anymore out of control, otherwise we might lose our deterrent effects against pirates, I think you should know very well what that means."

Poef then once again bowed his head as he listened tot the words of the King.

"Yes your Majesty," said Poef before finally raising his head and turning around, walking and walking out of the Throne Room, leaving the King to sit on the throne without anyone else in the room.

"The situation is a quite unexpected but not that bad, it might even be somewhat beneficial," mumbled the Queen as she suddenly appeared from behind the throne.

Not being surprised in the slightest by the appearance of his wife, Kusta immediately responded.

"That's true, although I didn't expect Morgana to have already come this far, but she and and Poef weakening each other is not a bad thing in the slightest..." mumbled the Kusta as he touched his beard, a ruthless light flashing through his eyes for just a moment.

Although Kusta did not like using Morgana like this, in the end, the king planned to repay his daughter, one way or another.

Hearing the words of her husband, Lumi, who was standing behind the Throne couldn't help but shake her head.

"I think you're far too focused on restraining Poef's power that you've ignored the snake that you've raised, be more careful, otherwise might never know if her bit is truly poisonous," said Lumi, causing Kusta to shake his head.

"You don't have to convince me of anything, I know my daughter well enough," said Kusta before waving his hand.

"Retreat for now, someone else is coming," said Kusta, causing a faint smile to appear on Lumi's face.

...

"This is really quite impressive, I really didn't expect something like this to happen as soon as we arrived here, that's quite a nice coincidence..." mumbled Diana as she stared at the battle happening on the streets below.

As she looked at the hundreds of pirates who had lost their sanity and were fighting like maniacs without any care in the world, only seeking to kill and destroy as many things as possible, Diana couldn't help but fall into thought.

"Food, drinks and prostitutes at brothels are the ways that the drug most likely used to spread, it takes someone with a lot of power and influence around here to do something like this, so the perpetrator was not a pirate..." mumbled Diana as she suddenly jumped upwards, from the roof she was standing on, and landed on an even higher chimney, allowing her to get a better look at the chaos below her.

But merely moments after Diana landed on the chimney, a faint frown couldn't help but appear on her face.

A moment later, Diana suddenly moved her head sideways, dodging a needle that would have otherwise pierced through the back of her neck, or at least would've attempted to.

A moment later, several other needles suddenly flew all around Diana, who now stood completely still, without even one touching her.

Seeing this show of peace, Diana, who was just about to begin fighting, couldn't help but faintly smile.

"You know, It's quite dangerous to threaten someone's life as soon as you meet them, you might never know if that person is angered," said Diana as she began looking around.

"I would gladly become your enemy if merely that was enough to threaten your life, but for some reason I don't think that's the case..." said a female voice coming from another roof.

Hearing that, Diana faintly smiled before turning her attention onto that roof, as well as the woman dressed in a Purple Dress who was currently standing on it.

"So what do you want from me?"

...

As she looked at the horde of pirates in front of her, who were charging right at her with seemingly no intention of dodging, Emily couldn't help but slightly laugh.

"Daniel, you protect the ship, I want to stretch my muscles a bit..." said Emily before suddenly charging right at the crowd, without any intention of dodging in the slightest.

Under the eyes of Daniel, as well as a few other rational people who were hiding in corners, the maniacs charged straight at each other without any hesitation, and attacked each other with bloodlust one would expect from sworn enemies.

Sadly for the group of maniacs though, it seemed as though the female maniac actually had something to back up her insanity.

...

As she stared at the thirty pirates who were coming closer and closer to her every moment, Emily, who was also running towards them had already completed her preliminary analysis, causing her to find her target.

Without any hesitation, Emily suddenly jumped right into the group of pirates, before immediately kicking the one who she had noticed was their leader right in the chest, causing the sound of bones cracking to resound within the port, and for the pirate captain to be sent flying right into the ocean.

A fraction of a moment later, Emily once again kicked another pirate with a similar amount of force, causing his chest to suddenly become separated from his body without any resistance, as he clearly lacked the same extreme power his captain had.

By then, three swords suddenly slashed down towards Emily.
