The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Without saying a word, Jon knocked the mustache guy down with his elbow and sneered: "I can't beat the wolf, but I can't beat you?"

Ainz: ...

I don't know why, but I always feel great.

This may be the sequelae of being a corporate slave.

With a light cough, he pretended to stop him and said, "Alright, alright, little brother, calm down. Why can't we sit down and talk it over instead of resorting to force?"

Jon was not the kind of player who would take advantage of others and then go on to show off. He simply let out a sigh of relief and let the businessman who looked down on others go.

Seeing this, Ainz took the opportunity to suggest, "How about this? Why don't we go together? My companions and I would like to go to the place you mentioned, E-Rantel, and take a look."

The mustached merchant quickly scrambled to Ainz’s side and hugged his thighs. “Help! This guy… this guy is a lunatic!”

“How dare you, a mere cockroach…” Nabellar gnashed her teeth in anger and without thinking, she condensed lightning in her hands.

But before she could make a move, Ainz interrupted her, "Okay, Nabe, it's okay."

On the other side, Jon looked at him with amusement and reminded him deliberately, "Mr. Merchant, are you sure you want to form a team with these unknown people in the wild? It is true that they repelled the wolves before, but can you guarantee that they will not have any bad intentions in the future?

Hey, I am broad-minded. Since I have accepted the commission, I will definitely complete the task. I will not abandon you halfway just because you are so mean. You can rest assured about this~"

When Old Buck heard this, he thought it made sense.

However, given that the force of the elbow just now was so fierce, the man with a mustache was in a dilemma for a moment.

Jon smiled and said, "Anyway, we are only less than half a day away from our destination, so we can do whatever we want.

Either you fire me now and go on your own.

Then just bear with it for a while longer.

But let me make it clear first, if you dare to be sarcastic to me again, don't blame me for being rude."

Hearing this, Old Buck subconsciously took a half step back.

Actually, he was too complacent and always thought that his status was more noble than that of this wild adventurer.

If it was an old hand who was muddle-headed and only knew how to drink and gamble, it would be fine, but the guy in front of him was obviously a new comer, and he still had the recklessness of a young man...

Alas, miscalculation.

Ainz and Nabe listened to the conversation between the two quietly without saying anything.

After the exchange, Bone Overlord said tentatively: "Don't worry, my partner and I have absolutely no ill intentions.

Since we are less than half a day away from the nearest city, we will just follow you from a distance."

As he spoke, he looked at Jon and said, "Of course, I am also very interested in the God you serve. I wonder if I can treat you to a meal when we get to the nearest city? We can have a good chat."

Jon nodded, smiling brightly, "Okay."

……

……

Not surprisingly, Jon was complained about.

Although he did complete the task of escorting the caravan, his salary was reduced by 90% because of his poor attitude towards his employer during the mission.

After deducting various expenses and the agency fee paid to the Adventurer's Guild, the money he got was only enough for him to buy a few beers...

However, Jon's fundamental purpose of being an adventurer is not to make money, so he doesn't care about the amount of the reward at all.

After officially completing the mission, he came to the inn where Ainz and Nabe were staying.

At a secluded table in the hotel lobby, the three of them chatted casually.

Of course, most of the time it was John and Ainz who were talking, and Nabe just listened in silence.

It's just that when Jon did something "disrespectful", she would just say the names of some insects with a cold face.

Ainz laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, my partner is just like that, but she's not a bad person by nature."

To be honest, Ainz Ooal Gown was already regretting in his heart whether it would be better to bring other members of the battle maid group with him. If it was the eldest sister Yuri Alpha, it would definitely not be like this...

Of course, Jon knew what kind of person the 'insect expert' was like, and he generously said that he didn't care.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and as they talked, they finally turned the topic to the gods they had talked about before.

"Fei Fei, I see that you are a good person, so these words can only be heard by you and must not be spread outside." Jon said in a serious tone.

Ainz was shocked and quickly assured, "Don't worry, my friends and I will definitely keep this secret."

Hearing this, Jon pretended to be hesitant, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "To tell you the truth, I was just a half-baked boxer before, making a living by fighting in various underground boxing rings. But one day, when I was beaten half to death by someone, a figure suddenly appeared in my mind.

Please forgive me for not being able to use existing words to describe that figure. Anyway, when I saw Him, I knew... He was "God."

Ainz was stunned by this trick.

However, his cautious character prevented him from believing everything Jon said. He only asked, "When exactly?"

Jon smiled, "When? I think it was about half a month ago."

Ainz: !!!

Half a month ago?

Wasn't that the time when he and all the NPCs in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick traveled through time?

wrong……

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

There may not be a necessary connection between the two.

As if he couldn't sense the turmoil in Bone Overlord's heart, Jon continued, "God told me that soon a disaster that will sweep the entire world will befall here. And I am the messenger chosen by Him, responsible for saving the world when the end of the world comes."

"Haha." Perhaps because the words were too charlatan, Nabe couldn't help but sneer, "It's just a dung beetle, you're so arrogant."

Jon spread his hands and said, "What I said is true. Since that day, I have gained some abilities that I don't even understand..."

Halfway through his words, he realized he had said something wrong and quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The more he tried to cover it up, the more suspicious Ainz became.

A disaster sweeping the world...

You're not talking about yourself, are you?

There are also 'messengers of God' and 'unknown powers'.

Why does this feel so much like the setting of an isekai light novel?

Ainz thought to himself, "Shouldn't the time traveler be the protagonist? How come I'm the villain? But I still can't jump to conclusions."

With a thought, Bone Overlord quickly came up with an idea.

Through the heavy steel helmet, a red light flashed in his empty eye sockets.

Even characters with cumulative levels above 90 cannot be completely immune to the charm skill used by him as 'Transcendence of Death'.

But what horrified Ainz was that the man opposite him who claimed to be a messenger of God showed no signs of feeling anything at all, and continued to eat and drink as if nothing had happened.

While eating and drinking, he called out, "Fei Fei, come and eat too. I feel a little embarrassed to be alone."

“Me? Haha, forget it…” Ainz spoke in a dry voice as he activated Forced Calm.

Jon smiled and introduced the place to Ainz as if he knew nothing. "This is the border of the kingdom, and it is also an active place for adventurers. After all, as you know, monsters are usually born in places with lush forests... If you want to register as an adventurer, I can apply to the guild for you.

But even if you are strong, you still have to start as the lowest-level adventurer in this foreign city-state..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the logo on his neck and said, "Just like me, start from the bottom."

Whether or not you can become an adventurer is not urgent at the moment; the most important thing is to clarify the issues related to the gods.

Although there was no definite evidence, Ainz had already imagined a clichéd plot of "The Demon King and the Hero" in his mind.

what?

You ask who is the devil and who is the hero?

Needless to say!

If the handsome and heroic JOJO is not a hero, then it is even more impossible for this pile of evil-looking skeletons to be one.

Thinking of this, Ainz felt like a cat scratching his head, and he became curious about the strange abilities that John had mentioned.

In his opinion, it should be a cheat or something like that bestowed by the gods...

I just don't know which is stronger, those unknown abilities or the world-class items I possess?

“I must get complete information from JOJO.” Ainz quickly made up his mind.

However, there are many ways to obtain intelligence, whether it is by getting close to others or by forcing questions, there must always be a specific procedure.

After repeatedly using detection items to confirm that John was just a rookie with an overall level of 3, Ainz hesitated for a long time and decided to take a risk.

"Maybe it was just an accident. The so-called messenger of God may be immune to mind control skills, but he is definitely not immune to direct damage skills. Just try it out. If he gets angry, just say you were joking..."

After arranging the advance and retreat routes clearly, An Zi raised her hand and a spark emerged from her fingertips.

"Oh? Feifei, are you a magic caster? I didn't expect that you, wearing armor and holding a big sword, can also master the power of magic." Jon smiled with hazy eyes.

With a snap, he picked up the huge cross that was at hand.

"What a coincidence, the same as me."

With a hum, time stood still.

Everything in the world lost its color in an instant.

During the period of stillness, Ainz's consciousness was still able to move, but the passive ability of 'Forced Calmness' was triggered dozens of times!

"Eh? What's going on?!"

"Time-related skills? But why is there no chanting and no pre-casting animation..."

"No, how can a human with an overall level of 3 use time-related skills!"

"It should not be an active release, but some kind of protection similar to a passive skill."

Too many questions filled Ainz's heart.

Looking up, I saw a figure shrouded in white light appearing behind 'JOJO'.

Ainz could not see the figure’s specific features, but he felt that his heart had been greatly shocked...

It seemed like a moment, and also like thousands of years, and the time around finally started to flow again.

Ainz fell backwards as if struck by lightning, collapsing in the chair.

“Lord Ainz, what’s wrong with you?” Nabe noticed something was wrong with Ainz the first time and stood up immediately.

Then she turned her head and glared at Jon.

"How dare you plot against the Supreme Being, you ignorant sow-woman!"

Qiao En blinked his innocent eyes, "Plotting? What does that have to do with anything? Fei Fei, how come you're drunk if you didn't drink?"

“Don’t be so rude to Lord Ainz!” The magic power around Nabe suddenly increased.

But before he could make a move, he was interrupted by Ainz, "That's enough, Nabe. I'm fine."

His silly maid is really not afraid of death. If Ainz could sweat, I'm afraid her sweat would have turned into a river by now.

He had no doubt that if Nabe attacked JOJO, the special protection on her would explode and destroy all those who were hostile to the "Messenger of God"...

“But Lord Ainz!” Nabe still refused to accept.

Ainz's tone suddenly became stern, "I've told you many times that you should call me by my real name, Momon, when you are outside."

In an instant, the shudder from the depths of the soul rushed from the soles of the feet straight to the brain.

Nabe lowered her head tremblingly, "I... I understand, Mr. Feifei."

Ainz breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at his own hot-tempered maid with a mixture of fear and disappointment. "If you do this again, I'll have your sister take you back and ask you to reflect on your actions."

Nabe couldn't help but imagine the scene.

——Being abandoned and even hated by the supreme being is even worse than killing her!

Ainz had no time to think about Nabe’s feelings at the moment.

Now, his mind is full of how to deal with JOJO.

Although the opponent was very weak, the divine protection he possessed was a powerful force he had never seen before.
