"It would be great if I could draw the Saint! Why is there a ghost ship after the sea monster!?"

Although Meredith yelled "Damn it!", the roars and noise coming from the boat made her expression tense.

Afterwards, the two men jumped onto the side of the pirate ship, and with a pop, the thick fog began to disturb.

It seems that the fog is not as thick when the pirate ship is very close to it.

This is extremely beneficial for the attackers. It turns out that this thick fog was man-made.

"Could it really be the ghosts of the sea?!"

"This is a great opportunity to see for yourself whether the dead exist."

Regardless, the most urgent task now is to rescue the abducted people.

Since it is not certain whether the rumored saint is related to the ghost ship, it is also impossible to determine whether the ghost ship will let non-pirates go.

Meredy used gravity magic, while Oscar used the "reflective wall" of his black boots to jump, reaching a height of about three stories in one breath.

Then they landed on the deck, only to see many pirates either lying on the ground or engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy.

There was only one thing that was different from what one had imagined, that was the attackers didn't look like undead at all, but rather just like ordinary human pirates.

Looking closely, a larger pirate ship was anchored on the other side of the one Milady and his crew were chasing. Its flag featured a skull and crossbones against a backdrop of surging waves...

"Uh~ Oh, so, should we just defeat the troops on both sides?"

"If anyone attacks, don't hesitate and repel them. However, we don't know what the ghost ship's intentions are, so if we can talk, then let's talk to them. Anyway, we must get to the cabin now. No matter what, we must first ensure the safety of Chiara and the others."

The pirate they encountered by chance showed his black teeth full of cavities and attacked the two of them. Oscar knocked him into the sea with his black umbrella and then told them the plan of action.

Meredith nodded in agreement and looked around for the door leading to the ship. Then she caught a glimpse of a group of people in the corner, carrying people on their backs and walking down the ladder connecting the two ships to the other ship.

It seems that the pirates from the ghost ship are carrying people onto their own ship.

"what!"

Then, Meredith noticed a pair of familiar rabbit ears. Perhaps she had been beaten, she saw Chiara's cheeks were red and swollen, the corners of her mouth were broken, and she had lost consciousness. She was being carried by a ferocious-looking man and was about to walk up the ladder to another ship.

Seeing her friend lying motionless, Miredy's mind faltered.

If someone attacks you, knock them down, and if you can, talk to the ghost ship side.

Meredith instantly threw the original plan behind her and rushed forward.

"M-Re-Dee-!"

"Hmm?"

The pirate carrying Chiara suddenly heard a girl screaming, and he couldn't help but look back.

Then he saw a girl with a ferocious look on her face performing a horizontal flying kick that defied the laws of physics.

“Flying Kick~~!!”

“Puwaa ...

Meredy's flying kick landed accurately on the pirate man's face, sending him flying off the ladder.

Then, Meredith let the thrown Chiara float in the air, and then gently hugged her in a princess hug.

There was only a loud splash and the sound of the pirate falling into the sea.

Then the people around shouted in surprise, "Ned~!", "Ned was kicked into the sea!", "What was that flying kick just now!?"

"You! You kicked Ned into the sea!"

The men nearby swung their machetes and attacked.

The man, using his superb balance on the ladder, delivered a sharp blow to Meredith's foot.

"Stop talking nonsense! You are the enemy of beautiful girls!"

Mireidi was seen holding Chiara in a princess hug, performing a mid-air somersault. The sight of a girl somersaulting while holding another, a move that defied the laws of physics, left the man, whose attack was in vain, stunned.

At that moment, Meredith's heel, which doubled the gravity to increase its power, hit the man's forehead.

The man swayed, rolled his eyes, and fell into the sea below.

"Another one has been knocked down!"

"They're not ordinary people, surround them!"

The pirates of the ghost ship changed their expressions and guarded both ends of the ladder.

"Miledi!"

Seeing that Meredith was surrounded, Oscar was about to rush to her side, but...

In an instant, Oscar felt creepy and immediately used the black umbrella to block his back.

Then there was a sharp sound of metal clashing.

"Huh!? Why did the umbrella deflect the knife?!"

"! When did you get behind me!?"

Although the opponent seemed surprised, Oscar was also startled because he had blocked the attack almost instinctively. Until just now, he had not noticed that someone had circled behind him. Oscar looked back cautiously, and what caught his eye was——

"Cat people..."

She was probably in her early twenties, and like the other catfolk, she gave off a soft, lithe appearance. Her figure was accentuated by a leather corset and white shorts. A pair of cat ears could be seen above her short, white hair. Her tail swayed as if calculating the timing of an attack, and her burgundy eyes gave off a powerful impression.

"I'll finish you off with my next strike!"

She seemed quite unhappy that the first attack was blocked. She bent down like a cat, and the next moment she attacked with unparalleled speed.

"So fast!"

"You're too slow!"

In the blink of an eye, the cat-man woman appeared in front of him, and stabbed Oscar's abdomen and feet with two daggers at the same time.

Because the distance was too close, Oscar could neither dodge nor block with the black umbrella.

So he decided to use the black coat as a defense.

"What!? What the hell! What's wrong with this coat!?"

It was understandable that she was surprised, because two of the four slits on the coat's hem rose up to block the two daggers' thrusts. Not only that, the hem even entangled the daggers like a living being, as if trying to snatch them away.

The hem of the coat moved because it was made of metal wire with gravity magic, but the cat-people woman didn't know this, so she simply thought the coat was twisting strangely like a living thing.

"How disgusting!" the cat-man woman couldn't help but scream, and did a backflip to create distance.

"That's such a harsh thing to say." Oscar pushed his glasses up to refute her criticism.

"Why are you trying to be so cool? You're just a pirate! Don't think you can act so arrogant just because you look a little handsome!"

"No, you're the pirate, right?... By the way, did you just compliment me unintentionally?"

The cat-woman bent her legs as if refusing to talk, and her whole body immediately emitted a faint pearl-gray light.

"Look at me, I'm going to take care of you in one go! No one can keep up with my speed!"

"You're going to use magic? And without chanting!?"

Oscar was astonished, because the orcs were not supposed to have magical qualities. Although there were occasionally half-bloods who could use magic, their magical qualities were generally still on the low side, and being able to use magic without chanting was even rarer.

The cat-man woman suddenly disappeared just as Oscar was watching with wide eyes.

There was a thud, and brisk footsteps appeared behind Oscar, while her dagger had already cut towards the tendons of Oscar's feet.

The inherent magic "Acceleration" can accelerate thinking and even increase physical speed in proportion to magic power.

This is the magic of Katie Coogan, the cat-woman pirate.

No one would have thought that a pirate, and an orc at that, could possess inherent magic. An ordinary person would have been severing their hamstrings and collapsed before they could even react.

Of course, Oscar is no ordinary man.

With a clang, a hard sound was heard.

"You're kidding, right?!"

The black umbrella was stuck on the deck, blocking one dagger, while the other dagger was blocked by the metal plate hidden in Oscar's shoe sole.

"Sorry, you can't escape my eyesight behind my black glasses."

Black glasses sparkle, which is one of their functions - to expand perception.

Even though Oscar's pupils didn't have time to focus, he could see everything clearly.

Oscar stepped directly on the dagger. Katie suddenly came to her senses, and just before she was about to jump away——

"Please be quiet for now."

Oscar shot out a chain from his sleeve and tied up Katie directly, then put the chain on the horizontal pole (sail pole) on the mast used to raise the sail, and used the principle of pulley to lift Katie up.

"Aaaaaa!? You pervert! Idiot! Glasses! Let me go!"

Katie struggled hard, but Oscar shrugged.

Even Oscar couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat during the final acceleration. If he hadn't seen the moves of "God's Apostle" Esther beforehand, Oscar might have been caught.

Even so, Oscar adhered to the principle of not hurting others because she never attacked Oscar's vital points from beginning to end, and her attack on the abdomen also avoided the fatal parts.

A closer look revealed that almost none of the fallen pirates had sustained fatal injuries; they were simply unable to fight.

Oscar decided that there was room for discussion with the pirates from the ghost ship, so he turned around.

"Okay, Meredith—"

At that moment, a sharp clang sounded, and upon closer inspection, Oscar's chains were severed. Katie fell to the ground, seemingly hitting her hip hard, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.

"Hey, Chris! That hurts!"

"Hey, Katie, I saved you, why are you talking like that?!"

The other man was a man wielding a greatsword. He had a stubbled beard, dark blue hair and eyes, and was probably in his late fifties. The other pirates called him "Second Captain!" So that's how it was. Despite his unassuming demeanor, his ability to sever chains containing Azantium ore like paper, and the domineering aura emanating from his eyes, clearly embodied the oppressive aura befitting the second-in-command of the Ghost Ship.

"Hey, handsome guy with glasses, you're really strong, and you're armed with some amazing magic items... Who are you?"

It seems that he is different from Katie and is someone who can communicate.

Oscar thought to himself how lucky he was, and was about to speak when——

“Ah!?”

He suddenly heard a suppressed cry of pain and saw a figure crashing into the mast from the corner of his eye.

Oscar couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that such a thing would be impossible when dealing with a mere pirate.

Yet he couldn't be wrong.

That person was Meredith. The person lying on the ground covered with bruises was indeed Meredith.

A rush of water followed.

Oscar turned pale instantly.

Time goes back to earlier times.

When Oscar received Katie's first blow, Meredith, who was surrounded on the ladder, was also being hacked away. She hugged Chiara and flew up lightly to avoid it.

“Damn it! Just now, what’s with this guy’s actions!?”

Meredi's actions clearly violated the laws of physics, causing the pirates to cry out in surprise.

Meredy shouted at the pirates surrounding her:

"Where have you pirates hidden this girl's mother? Tell me now, and I'll spare your lives!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you pirate! Who's going to tell you? Let go of that girl!"

"Who are you calling a pirate?"

"No matter how you look at it, you're a pirate!"

Indeed, although the fake beard and eye patch had been removed, Meredith was still dressed as a pirate.

Meredith and the pirates called each other "damn pirates!"

Meredi thought that Chiara was hurt by them, while the pirates of the ghost ship thought that their companions were hurt by Meredi. Both sides seemed to be so angry that they had lost their minds.

One pirate took the initiative and launched a whirlwind attack, while the other pirate launched a chain of light.

"Sink."
