We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 56 [The Shadowless Sword]

Wow…

The waves crashed against the sides of the ship.

On the deck of the "Angry Shark".

Upon seeing Xia En arrive, the armored knight An lowered his head somewhat apologetically and respectfully stood behind him.

If conditions allowed, An would definitely have taken out paper and pen and written it down.

[I apologize, but I am unable to wipe out all the pirates. I will need to trouble the captain to take action.]

In fact, the reason why Shane did not act immediately was because Ann volunteered to fight, wanting to fulfill the duty of a knight and help him clear away all obstacles.

However, the captain of the Furious Shark's strength exceeded An's expectations, forcing them into a protracted battle.

Shane easily understood his thoughts, waved his hand, and then turned to look at Baroque among the pirates.

"You're 'Mad Shark' Balrog?"

"To be on par with my knight, you certainly have some skill."

"If you surrender willingly, I will give you a dignified death."

Upon hearing this, Baroque's eyelids twitched slightly, but his face still contorted with rage, revealing the ferocity of a pirate, and he shouted.

"You want me to surrender? Dream on!"

"Brothers, follow me!"

Before he finished speaking, he carried his broadsword and charged towards Xia En.

During this process, Baroque's heart pounded violently, veins bulged on his forehead, his dark skin turned blood red, and white steam faintly rose from it.

In the blink of an eye, the merman's body visibly grew several centimeters taller, and his muscles swelled up.

This is a secret ability similar to "Berserk Mode".

This is also the origin of the name "Mad Shark" in Baroque style!

Boom!Boom!Boom!
With each step he took, the deck beneath his feet shattered, like the resounding beat of a drum striking the hearts of the pirates.

Seeing their captain charging ahead, the pirates on the ship were also inspired and charged toward Shane with strange cries.

Looking at Baroque, who was at the forefront of the attack, Shane stood calmly in place.

"Your courage is commendable, but as a challenger, you are not qualified."

"An, watch closely, I'll only use one sword strike."

boom!
Accompanied by the sound of wood breaking.

Xia En transformed into a black meteor, carrying immense speed and power, flashing across the deck.

The pitch-black shadows and the sword light merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.

For a moment, no one could even see his figure or the sword in his hand.

Baroque's massive body froze in place.

"Well..."

A strange sound came from Baroque's throat. He struggled to maintain his balance and shakily reached for his neck.

However, before he could even touch his neck, the head on his neck lost its balance and slowly slid to the side.

Blood spurted from his neck, staining his hands crimson.

"What a fast sword..."

A sigh of praise came from Baroque's head, which then fell to the ground with a thud and rolled to the side.

With exquisite swordsmanship and a physique even stronger than that of a prince's attendant transformed into a monster, the power of this sword strike has even surpassed the original!

Shaen named it—

[Shadowless!]

With Baroque dead, the pirates who had been charging forward just moments before instantly changed their expressions, losing their previous bravery.

Some people even dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, begged for mercy, and surrendered.

Most pirates were actually just a motley crew like that.

It would be a pipe dream to expect them to have a strong will and tenacious fighting spirit.

People who are accustomed to relying on violence will naturally feel awe and fear towards more powerful violence.

After looking around and confirming that there were no Secret Pathfinders on the ship, Shane left An there and jumped back onto the deck of the Black Swan.

The reason is simple. Isn't there a pirate ship not far away?
Looking into the distance, Xia En discovered that the pirate ship had somehow sailed off in a more distant direction.

It seems that the decision to abandon the hunting plan was made after discovering that the Black Swan's capabilities exceeded expectations.

But it's too late to be afraid now!
Xia En sneered, "Hmph, trying to escape?"

He walked to the helm and gripped the sturdy wheel with his hand.

Suddenly, a childish voice rang in my ears.

【Master, hello!】

[Enemy, bad!]

I want to help my master...

Hearing the message from the Black Swan, Shane felt quite gratified.

Although the change is not significant, Xiao Hei is still growing little by little, and now it knows how to take care of itself!

"What a good boy."

"Little Black, let's go!"

The next second, Shane felt the entire Black Swan ship tremble slightly.

In his perception, the ship seemed to suddenly come alive, and every part that carried his will seemed to be invigorated.

This is the potential benefit brought by [Communicating with the Ship's Soul], which makes Shane more adept at controlling the entire ship.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to perform such a miraculous action as "sudden stop".

Although the ship in front had been fleeing for some time, its speed of 12 o'clock was causing the distance between the two ships to shorten at a visible rate.

"Next time we go back to the island, maybe we'll have to get someone to install a ram?"

Xia En glanced at the three-masted sailboat ahead and forcibly suppressed the urge to crash into it.

At such a rapid speed, a direct impact with the other ship's hull would certainly have a tremendous effect.

With the Black Swan's 14 points of sturdiness, it wouldn't suffer much damage even in a direct head-on collision.

But the problem is, there are clearly simpler ways to eliminate these pirates.

It's not worth letting Xiao Hei suffer even the slightest harm.

As they drew closer, Joey called out, "This pirate ship is the [Black Mountain], with a bounty of 800 silver dragon coins, higher than the [Angry Shark]!"

This three-masted sailing ship was significantly larger than the "Angry Shark," and it clearly carried more pirates.

"It is indeed a big one. Well then, let you have a taste!"

Xia En had no intention of underestimating the ship. After a moment of thought, he used his mind to communicate with a cannon inside the ship.

【The Aberrant Cursed Cannon】

[Quality: Rare]

[Type: Component]

[Description: The cannon, enhanced by the "Filthy Crystal," has undergone a bizarre distortion in both its appearance and internal structure, making it something that should no longer exist in reality.]

Firepower, range, and accuracy have been significantly enhanced.

[After "swallowing" a cannonball and firing it, the cannonball is imbued with a "curse" effect, which has a certain probability of reducing the luck and attributes of the crew members of the ship hit.]

[Inflicts the "Poisonous", "Rotting", and "Evil Corrosion" effects on those hit by splash damage from artillery shells.]

[The cannonballs are delicious...]

This cannon is the product of the successful enhancement.

The effect surprised even Xia En.

However, the cannon's appearance also changed, with a smooth skin growing on its surface, sharp teeth emerging from its muzzle, and occasionally it could be heard making indistinct murmurs and whispers.

It can be said that it has become a living entity.

Fortunately, Shane's will still prevails over the Aberration Cannon.

"Pao, fire!"

With a command from Shane, the unmanned aberration cannon swallowed the shell and fired it fiercely towards the Black Mountain!
