Chapter 478: Set sail!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Oh, why didn’t Sheyan receive a notification like them? Alright, to one that had attained a ‘Respected (3113/6000)’ reputation amongst the pirates, and one hailed as the Third Mate* of of the legendary pirate ship, The Flying Dutchman, his allegiance had been sworn long ago. Moreover, the label of a pirate had long been etched deep into his soul.

(TN: *Third Mate is the same term as Third Officer, i decided to change it as it would be more suitable in pirate context.)

By now, Sheyan had equipped the hidden title – Pirate Ringleader*. Due to the hidden title bestowing him with strength +2 and physique +2, he had to unwield an equipment to avoid a boundary breakthrough. Nevertheless, the property of bolstering all his party members’ offensive capabilities within a 30 metre radius, was enjoyed by Reef and Brother Black; hence, it was a worthy sacrifice.

(TN:*He acquired this ch 20 of the first PotC world (vol 3))

With Sheyan’s guidance, he and Reef proceeded to assist in rescuing the pirates. Instead, Mogensha resorted to heinous deeds, which was obviously, to commence a massacre! With the advantage of his shooting range, he gunned down the marines paddling in the water from aboard. This was practically an effortless target practice to him.

In this manner, not only could Brother Black receive an abundance of reputation (Sheyan and Reef naturally received a portion), but he could shamelessly hamper the contestants that pledged their allegiance to the british navy! Preventing foes from chasing up right at the get go, this self-delightful act was undoubtedly one that would anger even the heavens.

Very quickly, furious curses of several contestants drifted over. In spite of that, Mogensha remained aloof as he focused on gunning down the floating british marines. By now, the contestants had learned from him; following suit in a more glorious fashion. They didn’t attack marines but directly assaulted Brother Black, intending to strangle this unlawful brat.

But at that instant, Reef raised his hand, as a transparent ‘Faith-guard’ slithered over Mogensha’s body. Sparks scattered as the opponent’s assaults volleyed against the ‘Faith-guard’. Instead, their damage were totally absorbed by Reef’s outstanding ability.

At present, the individual combat prowess of the trio could be considered as near the pinnacle of this world. What more, they were additionally boosted by their Silver prestige party? In Mogensha’s perspective, long range attacks from other contestants didn’t prove to be a huge threat. Withstanding the long range firepower pressure, Brother Black proceeded to cleanse the british marines who were within his effective range in an orderly fashion. He then lit a cigar for himself, before he started retaliating against the contestants!

Following the fiery tongues spat out from his Golden AK, woeful groans echoed through the darkness. Regrettably, as it was impossible to rapidly dispatch a contestant, that brat who was on the point of demise was rescued by another. Besides, picking up dropped keys between firefights over the sea would prove challenging. Thus, Mogensha didn’t feel very regretful.

The present Mogensha to other long range combatants, was akin to the first time he squared off with Eros in the previous world; delivering an overwhelming suppression onto them. Furthermore, Mogensha’s ‘Beastly Instincts’ was an innate ability exceptionally suited to chaotic battles, resulting in an impetus of him alone suppressing several foes.

At this moment, he could faintly hear the terrified shrieks from the opposing distant.

"The enemy has encroached upon us!!"

"What approached us?"

"I swear on my necklace, I didn’t see any hostiles swimming towards us!"

"Heavens, what is this creature. Shit, its attacks are impeding my movement speed!"

"A summoner?"

"Quick slay it!"

"...."

"....."

Naturally, while Brother Black unleashed his bullets, he successfully activated the ability of his newly upgraded silver storyline grade ‘Viperwolf’s Beard’; summoning out those nasty alien lifeforms to pounce ravenously against his foes.

Caught unaware, those brats were obviously disadvantaged, and were nastily rummaged by the summoned viperwolf spirit. Fortunately, naval warfare was fought over an expansive sea area. The trio merely colonized a territory that currently floated with the most survivors, while the surrounding contestants could only submit to their circumstances; obediently distancing themselves to accomplish their mission, submissively yielding this sea territory.

By now, the trio had already rescued a total of 30 plus pirates. After being rescued, these uncouth and ugly pirates became evidently rowdy, as they started to brawl mutually amongst themselves atop the boat. Yet after Sheyan swept his incisive gaze through them, they immediately sensed a tremendously suffocating oppression; instantly turning well-behaved. With every vocal command Sheyan issued, those pirates immediately shivered with austerity, and implemented their tasks efficiently.

Mogensha and Reef turned a blind eye towards this rather common scene. Except, the other contestants who had pledged their allegiance with the pirates looked on with amazement; because the pirates they rescued were like fiends, lying brazenly on deck while cursing profanities whenever they wished....just by noticing the spiteful gazes of these vile pirates, they knew the pirates held them with utter disregard. Don’t even talk about the pirates labouring for them.

When those 30 plus pirates settled down, the trio suddenly realized a large swarm of finger sized fishes swimming towards them. These fishes had slightly phosphorescent scales. When the fishes swam to the broadside of the boat, they congregated together to form tiny words.

*****************************************************************

(TN’s IMPORTANT NOTE: This Tortuga (特图加) is a different Tortuga island from his first pirate of the Caribbean experience world’s Turtuga (土图加). Both changed to english is Tortuga. HOWEVER, this current Tortuga (特图加) should be the one in the pirate of the caribbean movie. The Turtuga (土图加) in the previous world, should be a made up port by author. To prevent confusion, I will address the first world’s one as Turtuga (土图加) with a U instead.

TN: Important terms to note:

Broadside battles (long range battles) – ships facing their broadsides to each other and firing cannons at a distance.

Naval Boarding battles (close combat battles) – to come up against, or alongside, an enemy ship to attack by placing men aboard the enemy ship. The goal of boarding is to capture, or destroy, the enemy vessel.

TN: note that for this pirate of the caribbean world, author combines elements from the game Uncharted Waters 4, and brings in a lot of magic aspects to this world. Therefore, the magnitude of certain specifics are magnified in this pirate of the caribbean world, and magic is quite a big portion here. For example: the sizes of ships (how many masts it has), the number of pirates on a ship, currency, some game elements fantasy stuffs etc.
