Chapter 342: V3 Ch 24. Rallying the forces

While I was considering what to do, the morning came.

Victoria was still sleeping. I cautiously separated myself from her and dressed.

“Mhm… Ah? You are awake?” (V)

“I am. I will go wander around.”

“Sorry but you cannot… At least without my escort. Father would be fine with you being near me but he will be mad if you exit this room alone.” (V)

“Then let’s go to a restaurant?” Victoria went stiff.

“You can’t?”

“Ha-ha-ha… Work…” (V)

“No problem. Can we at least have a breakfast together?”

“Well, this can be easily done~!” (V)

After the breakfast I had a lot of time to think. Our date with Victoria was disrupted but it doesn’t mean I can be resting now. I remained in her room, since she said I wouldn’t like her work, or sitting all day watching her paperwork. Her balcony had a nice view at the harbor.

I noticed that some of the ships disappeared during the night, and some of them were preparing to head out. The attack on the pirates was approaching.

I remembered the yesterday’s events and decided to save Veronica. Pretty girls must not suffer this kind of a treatment.

While the pirates cause mayhem, I will find her and rescue.

I waited for the night, and waited for my skills to activate. I managed to use my evasion to squeeze out of Veronica’s arms without waking her up. After a couple of minutes I confirmed that she is sleeping, and like an assassin, I made my way through the palace. The candles and lamps were doused, and I stealthed to the outside.

With my night vision I saw how the ships set sail out of the port. It was the entire fleet.

After I reached the port, and the water, I jumped into the sea and sailed by the waterfront all the way out of the city and proceeded to my ship.

---

The next step was obvious. I sailed at maximum speed, right towards the rendezvous point with the pirate messenger.

On my way I did not encounter Benezio ships and escaped their waters with ease.

[Haaa… If only I could cash this paper…]

Because I escaped, I couldn’t cash the bank note I received as my reward. Those 10 gold coins were my hope to refill the torpedo stockpile. I am not a battleship, so they are my only chance to sink the huge ships without becoming a Swiss cheese.

I opened the statistics, and for no reason pushed the bank note into the transparent screen.

Puff, and it disappeared. However, it gave me the entire promised sum. It was delivered right to my account, and I could take out the cash anytime.

[Phew, this one is dealt with.]

It was the easiest payment I received.

When I approached the rendezvous point, I saw a somewhat small ship with huge sail masts.

I approached it and dropped the anchor at short range.

“Hey, pals! Where is the recruitment booth?” I shouted to them.

“Thank God, we thought nobody would come! Go to the main base, Her Ladyship said you know where it is!” I waved to the crew, and headed where I was directed. Two days later I steamed into an ambush.

It was not related to either side, it was my old friend, the kraken.

I was suddenly attacked by a huge tentacle and barely avoided it. The sea monster relentlessly attacked me but my high speed and maneuvering saved me. Still, I was too close to be safe.

I dropped several depth charges and set them to explode at depth.

Several minutes later the kraken returned.

It was fast, it was huge, and it was not going to let me run away. I must be the largest prey it ever saw, and it was the largest sushi I ever saw. The conflict of gourmets was inevitable.

‘Splash’

I released another sternful of depth charges, and small bubbles of water occurred above the drop zone.

‘Splash’

Despite the continuous bombardment, the kraken was at most repelled but I saw no signs of it slowing down or being wounded. Its main body was too deep to be affected by my previous shelling tactic, and it could quickly evade the slowly sinking barrels of explosives.

My enemy was skillful, and I was resourceful.

I turned to the closest island and reached shallows. The kraken was foolish enough to follow me.

Its huge body was clearly visible through the water, and so were the depth charges.

The first drop was evaded but the longer the fight continued, the more worn out was the octopus.

‘Splash’

It received a close explosion and was disorientated. I turned around and dropped everything that fitted on the stern rails.

BOOM

The kraken’s shocked body surfaced and I jumped on top of it, with an entire air army of seagulls following.

By the evening I had the entire ship stockpile filled with octopus meat. And a huge body towed after the ship.

“I… I accept this gift…” Alba was looking at my towed array of tentacles. Even after I filled my belly and fed the entire legion of seagulls, I had more than enough meat to donate to the pirates’ cause.
