The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 216
Episode 216:
A large number of pirates suddenly appeared and made a lot of noise.
“Lots of meat! Lots of drinking! Anyway, load it quickly!”
Liona gaped as she saw the scale of the pirates passing by.
And then I looked at the snowfall.
As if he couldn’t believe that Kang Seol could easily do such dangerous things.
Boom… Boom…
A huge troll came out of the depths of the bar.
It seemed to be about the same size as Jamad, but there was one difference. Unlike Jamad, who was surrounded by dense muscles, his body was made up of soft lumps of fat.
The troll with a big belly was a pirate working with Julia.
“Departure? Hmm… It’s annoying…”
Boom… Boom…
The troll disappears through the giant door exclusively for giants.
Liona and the rest of the group quickly followed behind.
Earl Brispin moved to recall the stragglers and soon appeared with a dozen sailors.
Everything went well.
The smile on Julia’s face clearly showed this.
Naturally, it was expected that the same would happen in the case of snowfall.
If you leave like this with Julia, a big-time pirate, there is a high probability that you will get a happy ending.
‘No, it’s not like that.’
Even if the transferees were ostracized somehow, they would not have given up on the Yeongsaeng Church.
‘As long as we are aiming for a clear target, the joy of the fallen, we will continue to follow.’
And they could possibly have followed Julia’s ship and attempted to intercept it.
‘We can’t let that happen….’
Can we prevent that situation by getting on Julia’s ship? Snowfall could not easily give a definite answer.
If, by any chance, the ship was wrecked in the aftermath of a collision, the ship would have to engage in a grueling chase with Yeongsaenggyo again.
‘I’ve had some luck so far, so it’s a shame, but there’s no guarantee that I can continue to avoid it.’
There was no need to overdo the work when the reward was already determined.
The only mission given to Kangseol is to drop Liona off at Zonia.
After thinking for a moment, Kang Seol remembered a memory and called Ur.
‘Ur.’
– What’s going on?
‘Do you remember what I said before?’
– What do you mean by what you said before?
‘That’s what we said in the Braggland Mountains.’
– Ah… I remember. Didn’t you reject it back then?
‘Is it still possible?’
– Well… things are different then. It may or may not be possible.
‘why?’
– If you were to ask me that now, you would be targeting Bria, right?
Ur immediately saw through Kang Seol’s intentions. Kang Seol nodded in the affirmative.
– I can’t tell what the opponent’s level is, but assuming they are at a fairly useful level, I would have to use powers other than the stored magic power to wipe them out.
‘chamberlain?’
– For example, your vitality. Your body will probably collapse in the aftermath. Probably gonna die.
Kang Seol grinned and conveyed his thoughts to Ur.
‘So…’
Ur, who heard Snowfall’s plan for a moment, smiled and answered without thinking for long.
– ha ha ha! That’s your thinking! As expected, you are crazier than I imagined.
‘So what’s the answer?’
– It’s not my taste, but like you said, it’s not a bad idea to go fancy.
With Ur’s consent, a terrible plan was completed.
The result was something that only snowfall and Urur could guess.
While Kang Seol was secretly formulating this plan, preparations for departure proceeded quickly.
Rattling…
“Load it carefully! “If you spill even one drop, I will drain that much of your blood!”
“Hehehe… My hands are shaking. Can I take a sip beforehand?”
“Okay, I’d like to see Julia put your head in that oak barrel.”
“Someone give me some water, that bastard is so dirty.”
Julia’s ship was no different in size than the large merchant ships anchored in the port.
Moreover, since various parts were modified to carry out battle, its actual power would be even greater.
Liona, Brispin, and Chadorf were already on the ship, and Snowfall faced Julia waiting for him at the dock.
“Do you know about me?”
“In moderation.”
“Then you also know that I have never once broken a promise.”
“okay.”
“I guarantee that Princess Liona will arrive safely in Zonia.”
A contract guaranteed to succeed.
Julia was claiming that now.
He kept his promise, so you should keep your promise too.
“Did you see the last of that bastard Santos?”
“I guess you could say I saw it in person.”
Because he was Santos.
Snowfall knew well the relationship between Santos and Julia. That’s why I wanted to ask. Is the relationship still like that?
“Does his death mean anything to you?”
Santos, the person involved, is probably also curious.
Julia answered with eyes shining with ferocity.
“Shut up and keep your promise.”
And then he breathed heavily.
“That bastard… how… did he die?”
* * *
Julia was born in a weak country west of Pandea. An extremely poor country where most of the people live and are involved in crime.
Of course, Julia also followed a similar path as others.
She became a pirate at an early age.
The swordsmanship taught to her by a swordsman who took care of her as an orphan when she was young made her famous as a skilled person in a short period of time.
Julia, a rose that blooms in the sea.
She escaped from a poor country and became a captain operating a privateer ship for a rich country.
Many unusual people also passed through her ship. Several pirates later grew up to become big pirates.
If someone were to ask her about the romance of pirates, the first answer would be the sea, the second would be the sea, and the third would be the sea.
It was a job that had no value other than the freedom of the storm.
In particular, the pirates’ loyalty and strong friendship, as known to the outside world, were all dismissed as bullshit.
Because she was like that first.
In order to survive on a cramped ship, you couldn’t be guided by personal feelings.
I always had to stab myself in the back and watch my back to get to a higher position.
All the idiots who became pirates for their dreams died young.
She became a pirate to make money, and she thought that goal would never change.
You can do anything with money.
All other values were considered inferior to money.
And she faced judgment.
The privateer she operates has been captured by an enemy country.
At first, I believed I would be released soon. All she had to do was pay the ransom in the country where she was operating.
But after several days with no news, she began to feel anxious, and one of the guards told her shocking news.
“The death penalty has been decided, Julia. “Congratulations on the death of the dog.”
“What are you talking about… I….”
“The ransom negotiations have collapsed. “That’s good, witch.”
Only then did Julia realize the situation she was in. Now she will die in an enemy country.
Lonely.
“Is it time for the hounds to go into the pot? Haha….”
The shackles hanging from one leg and the iron ball hanging from the end made it difficult for her to walk even two steps.
A few days after that.
“It’s a prison break! “It’s a prison break!”
“Fire! “Turn off the fire first!”
“They are running away! catch!”
Grumbling!
Acrid smoke flowed into the prison where she was imprisoned.
“Waaah!”
“Kill! “Get out!”
Some of her subordinates quickly passed in front of her cell.
“here! “Here!”
Did I not hear it or did I not hear it?
“Waaah! “Kill them all!”
“There’s a lot of smoke! “Let’s get out first!”
Due to a guard’s mistake, all the prisoners in the prison escaped. Except her.
“Julia! “What about Julia?”
“I’m here…”
“You idiot, I can’t waste my time on something like that. “Run now!”
“….”
The place where Julia was detained was in the very corner of the prison. It was a solitary confinement that was difficult to access.
Now that the fire is raging, she is abandoned.
“Fuck… fuck…”
She knew.
There is no loyalty between them.
If something like this were to happen, she would have been the first to run away.
“….”
Even so, I felt lonely.
I hated this kind of death.
Kwasik-!
It was then.
The sound of a hatchet hitting the door was heard.
Kwasik!
Grumbling!
The flames can be seen even from here, so how did they get through?
No, who came looking for her in the first place?
“Julia! “Are you there?”
“Damn…Santos!”
Vice Captain Santos.
Although he was strong, he seemed to have one or two screws missing from his head.
he came
“Santos! “I’m here!”
“wait!”
Kwasik!
Kwaziik!
Kwazijijik!
The clear sound of an ax being struck.
Eventually the door burst open.
“Santos… His face…”
A face with crushed eyes and ears.
Santos appeared with burns.
“Voila! “I’m here!”
“You stupid bastard! “I should have escaped!”
“Shut up! “Don’t call me stupid!”
When he entered the cell and saw Julia’s shackles, he was speechless.
“Uh… this… really….”
“Throw it away, Santos. “You can live too.”
“That’s not something you should say with such trepidation. Fuhihihihi!”
“Why did you come… You too will die.”
Santos looked at Julia with kind eyes on his ugly face.
“Do not think of leaving a stain on the sea man’s path! “I’m going to take you out.”
“….”
“… I’m going to cut off your leg, Julia.”
“huh.”
“It’s going to hurt. “What if I die?”
“… Shut up and cut it quickly. Let’s die here…”
Kwajik-!
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Julia screamed so loudly that her throat went out.
Santos took out medicine of unknown efficacy from his pocket and poured a lot of it into Julia’s mouth.
“I don’t know what kind of medicine it is, but I brought it all!”
“You son of a bitch….”
“One is right! Look, the bleeding is stopping!”
Buuuuck…
Santos tore off her clothes and tied Julia’s legs together. Clothes that quickly become wet with blood.
But gradually I felt as if the bleeding had stopped.
“Huh… Huh…”
Santos started running, carrying Julia on his back.
Grumbling!
Quasi profit!
The prison collapsed.
Fortunately, Santos and Julia were able to escape first.
“… I was wrong. He said he became an asshole. “It’s not good to eat spicy food.”
“Fuhihihi! “What does it matter when I can go to the sea again!”
“You’re simple… ugh… I hope so.”
“That’s right, I’m simple!”
“… where are you going?”
“I prepared it in advance!”
The place he took her was a secret place that was difficult to find even on the island.
There was a one-eyed man there.
With a small boat.
“Julia!”
“Brick! “You’re alive!”
“Santos said he would bring you. “Really… you brought me here.”
“That’s it! “Let’s get out!”
But then suddenly I heard a sound nearby.
“Here it is!”
“There are traces of prisoners passing by!”
“Search!”
Rattling.
Santos threw Julia overboard.
“…Santos?”
“Brick! “Let’s go!”
“If you leave, I will kill you! Santos! Come with me!”
“Then everyone dies. “I know, you idiot.”
Santos struggled and fled noisily into the bright light.
“Voila! “I’m here!”
“There it is! catch!”
“Don’t miss it! “I haven’t escaped yet!”
The ship gradually moved away from the island.
It was the last sight of Santos that Julia still clearly remembers.
* * *
“My legs still get sore whenever there’s a storm. You idiot… pay more attention when cutting. So how did he die?”
“Fortunately, they captured the scout ship and escaped. “I suffered a bit because an arrow got stuck in the middle of my back.”
“… and?”
“He took refuge in Srika and became a worthy captain.”
“what? Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“And he died in the Alphrina Strait.”
“….”
Julia’s face turned black.
“You didn’t use the canal?”
“There must have been some circumstances.”
The Alphrina Strait was a notorious strait in the southeast. Although the waves were strong, there were other problems.
“If it’s Alphrina… surely?”
“Yes, my soul was stolen by Vitona.”
Beast Vitona.
A being who is also called the father of Sirens. There was a rumor that it had the appearance of a giant water snake and that if it was eaten, its soul would be taken away.
“How do you… know that?”
“Well… does it matter?”
“… no. It doesn’t matter. “I’m just amazed that you know so much about it.”
“My story is over.”
“….”
“You’re not planning on getting revenge on Bitona, are you?”
“I? Turned? Santos is a guy who lived a completely different life than me. He’s a crazy kid who came to the sea because of a dream. I thought it would be short-lived in the end. And Vitona is invincible at sea and is not something pirates can touch.”
“I get it. “Are you satisfied that you paid the price?”
Julia looked at Snowfall’s face and asked.
“Are you close to Santos?”
“… I guess you could say that.”
“Does Santos think so too?”
“maybe?”
widely-!
Julia threw the money bag into Snowfall’s chest.
“take it.”
“Are you giving it back?”
“I took on this job not because of money, not because of that stupid princess, or because of you looking angry.”
She turned around.
“It’s because of Santos.”
“… I get it.”
“Then let’s meet again when we meet again.” Again and
again…
She
stepped onto the deck.
Julia said to the pirate following her.
“Bring rum.”
“Is it starting already?”
“Shut up… and do as I say.”
“okay!”
Gulp…
Julia gulped down the rum in the bottle and immediately poured the remaining contents into the sea.
“Thank you, idiot. “When you don’t regret dying… I’ll come visit you.”
There is a popular belief that the news of those who sail the sea is transmitted through the sea. She didn’t believe that rumor, but it had to be told this time.
Meanwhile, Kang Seol was standing on the dock and looking at Liona and the others.
“Cut the rope and raise the anchor! “It’s time to set sail!”
Liona spoke to Snowfall on the deck.
“I think we’ll be setting sail soon. Come on…”
Kang Seol heard Liona’s words, but stood there as if nailed to the spot.
“Are you… not going together?”
“You won’t need me anymore, Princess. “You have achieved the last rule of dangerous distance.”
The final rule of dangerous streets.
Trust those who are trustworthy.
“Julia is trustworthy. “I will take the princess to Zonia.”
“But… it’s dangerous to stay here alone.”
“I’m always in a dangerous situation, so it doesn’t seem that big of a deal.”
Kang Seol calmly talked about breaking up.
“Thank you, princess, for enduring the long journey.”
“This… this….”
“I hope you achieve what you want. “This is… I mean it.”
If Liona had remained as weak as she was, Snowfall’s plan might have failed.
They did their best in their respective positions to achieve the current results.
“hey!”
Pak-!
Brispin threw an object.
Kang Seol accepted the item.
Sculpture of a black woman.
[Obtain the Joy of the Corruptor.]
“Take it! And thank you! “It’s all thanks to you that we were able to come this far!”
Chadorf also put his hands on his mouth and shouted.
“hey! Next time we meet, let’s be friends! Since you seem to be younger than me, I am at a loss. “You’ve worked hard so far… I really want to say thank you.”
Slurp…
The ship began to leave the dock.
“Over there!”
Princess Liona shouted urgently.
“I want to know this name… or even just the face…”
she said with her eyes moist.
“I want to know about you.”
Since Brispin knows the name, he will know it anyway.
After taking a quick look around, Kang Seol took off her stuffy mask.
His face was exposed to the setting sun.
The hand holding his mask touched the opposite shoulder. Just a light bow.
It was a polite greeting.
“I hope you have a comfortable trip, Liona.”
“I really… hope we can meet again! No me! I will definitely find you! Until then, stay safe!”
Kang Seol smiled.
[Princess Liona has entered the final exile.]
[It is unknown whether Princess Liona will succeed in her exile.] [
Continued adventures.]
[Rewards can be obtained only after all adventures are completed.]
[Next adventure It begins.]
[The thirtieth adventure begins.]
[Adventure 30. Jeopardy]
…
Snowfall puts on a mask again.
He remained here.
Because there is still work left to do.
