Chapter 407 – Fighting One’s Own Battles Pt. 2

Suo Jia calmly shot Whale a sideways glance, but was unable to keep a dry smile from forming on his face. At the same time, Whale spoke up, “Captain Suo Jia, if I recall correctly, you said that the next time we meet, you won’t make a move!”

Suo Jia bitterly chuckled as he nodded and answered, “Alright, since I already made the promise, I won’t do anything during this battle. Even if my entire fleet gets wiped out, I will just have to admit defeat. However…are you going to introduce that single-eyed fellow to me?”

Whale nodded and stated, “This one is my big brother, as well as a famous pirate around here. Everyone calls him One-Eyed Black Shark!”

Suo Jia nodded to indicate his understanding, although he was inwardly starting to panic. Truthfully speaking, they had all underestimated Whale; who would have thought that he could bring such a large pirate group with him? Although Xiang Yun had recently broken through a bottleneck, nobody knew exactly what kind of realm he had reached at the moment!

In comparison to the previous instances, everything about this battle was pointing towards disaster. But…as a man, he could not go back on his words. Otherwise, how could any of his words pull their weight?

As Suo Jia pondered over this, he nodded at One-Eyed Black Shark and said, “In that case, I’ll just go back. I absolutely will not take part in this battle. As long as you can defeat my brothers, we will be under your command!” Suo Jia turned and began to walk over to the side of the deck.

“Hmph!” Suo Jia had barely walked a few steps before One-Eyed Black Shark let out a cold snort. Hundreds of pirates quickly surrounded Suo Jia. At the same time, a great number of pirates came pouring out from the cabins. In the end, there were six layers of people surrounding Suo Jia.

Suo Jia shook his head in admiration when he glanced around and saw how easily 400 or so pirates had been gathered onto the deck. Although it was a Camus ship, it was a pirate ship through and through in the sense that it placed combat first and foremost. The storage cabins were filled with rations, and the number of ship members was more than double!

As Suo Jia was thinking this, One-Eyed Black Shark arrogantly declared, “Brat, don’t get too conceited. Where do you think you are? Do you think this is a place you could just come and go as you pleased?”

“Boss…don’t! Please don’t…” Although Suo Jia did not do anything, Whale began to grow anxious at the scene unfolding. He knew just how powerful Suo Jia was. He had already gone through so much effort to bind Suo Jia using their agreement. If his boss provoked Suo Jia now, wouldn’t he just be asking for trouble?

Whale still clearly remembered Suo Jia personally declaring to be a living god when at sea. Moreover, he had created a giant whirlpool with just the wave of his hand. That was a power that was not human-like in the slightest! In comparison, Suo Jia’s teammates were much easier to defeat.

Suo Jia simply turned away from One-Eyed Black Shark’s threat, and smiled at Whale. “I’m sorry to say, but as you clearly see yourself, it’s not me that wants to act, but they who want me to. You can’t blame me for that!”

Bang! Bang! Bang…As he spoke, Suo Jia stamped his right foot three times. Following this, consecutive Diamond Charges formed around him, and then proceeded to rush outwards in all directions.

The released Diamond Charges from Suo Jia, whose strength was already at the level of a Great Magister, could not possibly be compared with normal Diamond Charges. The powerful force caused the diamond icicles to shoot out like cannonballs swept with the wind. Its fierce blast caused the surrounding pirates to instantly shatter into ice shards.

After six consecutive stamps of his foot, the entire deck was cleared out aside from One-Eyed Black Shark and Whale, who were on the stronger side. All the other pirates had all been reduced to broken ice pieces covering the deck; the sight could not be more tragic.

Suo Jia proudly straightened his body in an upright position as he looked at One-Eyed Black Shark in disdain. “Was your damn head kicked in by a donkey? You actually tried to use these kinds of normal mariners to trap me?”

After seeing the hell-like scene unfold before him, One-Eyed Black Shark could only stay silent in fear. Only now did the realization suddenly hit him that the enemy before him was not the typical, local merchant. This person was an adventurer from outside the Greater Trade Routes. How could average mariners go up against such a figure?

Everyone at sea, regardless of whether they were pirates or merchants, hired mariners that were actually just normal people from various islands. They were very skilled in navigating the seas, but their physical strength was limited in fighting battles at sea. While they could be used to overwhelm by numbers, they were like vegetables waiting to be sliced up when faced against an overpowered mage like Suo Jia.

Whale stared at Suo Jia in fear, trembling as he said, “Hey! Don’t tell me you’re going back on your word? You promised me that you wouldn’t do anything in this battle!”

Suo Jia simply shrugged and smiled. “I did say I would not do anything, but there’s no way I would stupidly stand there and wait for someone else to kill me, right?”

“That’s…” Whale could not come up with a response to this. After all…Suo Jia had only promised to not make a move; if someone else tried to kill him, he had no choice but to act. This could not really count as breaking his promise.

Suo Jia then said in a slightly cheerful tone, “Don’t worry, if you don’t provoke me, I won’t actively attack you. Otherwise —and I’m not just boasting when I say this — I alone would be enough to completely destroy your small fleet!”

Both Whale and One-Eyed Black Shark had not a single doubt towards Suo Jia’s words after seeing the hellish scene that surrounded them. Suo Jia definitely possessed that kind of ability.

However…no matter how bad the situation seemed, one had to continue trying their best. Whale ground out through clenched teeth, “Don’t get too complacent. As long as you don’t make a move, you will definitely all die here today. Hmph…those three companions of yours are nothing to us!”

Bang! Bang! Bang… Suo Jia clicked his tongue in disdain. But just as he was about to fire back a response, a series of fierce booms echoed through the air from the left side.

Upon hearing the noise, Suo Jia, Whale, and One-Eyed Black Shark all automatically turned their heads to look in that direction. The three of them all saw a white line flash over the sea’s surface like a bolt of lightning. Wherever it passed through, the sky would be filled with brilliant white rays of light. One after another, the pirate ships were tilted at angles, and gradually sank to the bottom of the ocean.

“That-that’s…!” Both Whale and One-Eyed Black Shark could only stare dumbly at the sight.

Finally, the white line approached them. The next moment, the three of them were finally able to see it clearly: Xiang Yun was standing on a piece of wood from a broken ship, gliding over the surface of the turbulent seas like an arrow…

Xiang Yun was proudly standing tall on the wood, his face as calm as the surface of an ancient well. Each time he neared a pirate ship, he would abruptly make a sharp turn, and the glint of a sharp, ten-meter long blade would pass through, splitting each ship apart and sinking them. With the aura of a king, Xiang Yun continued advancing, instantly killing any pirate ship he encountered along the way.

Boom! Boom! Boom… As the three were still shocked beyond recovery, an even more condensed series of booms came from the right side. The three of them turned their heads in astonishment to see a golden figure flying through the air above the left side of the waters like a hurricane.

Although this body did not have wings, it used a great amount of centrifugal force to stay suspended in mid-air, and continue accelerating forwards. Waves and waves of golden battle qi in the shape of a wolf’s head shot out from the tornado. As each burst of wolf-shaped battle qi landed on the pirate ships, a large cavity would appear with a deep bang.

If Xiang Yun’s aura was like the sword of an arrogant king that could instantly kill anything, Roger’s attack was like an explosive machine gun. The bursts of golden battle qi poured down in torrents as if they were nothing. In just an instant, a pirate ship would have hundreds and thousands of holes punched into it, and then completely sink under the waves. Some even directly disintegrated in the water!
