Chapter 12 - Blood Pact

Swoosh!!

Josephine and Nioh appeared on the ground through the beam of light from the starship, and calmly moved their gazes on the dirty faces of the men and women before them, all armed.

"Oh my god! That armor is so bright!" A pirate whispered, staring at Josephine's armor.

"Don't get close to her... Those are all Grand class armor, even the leaders can't defeat her easily." A woman whispered back, her face grim.

"She is just a master rank, stage 4... But with those equipments, she can easily kill a half heavenly rank... Let alone us, who are just master, sky and core ranks." Another added.

"Who are you invaders?!"

The pirates made way, as a man with a deep scar on his cheek marched forward, he was armed with a rare class spear, and was in a leather armor.

"Invaders?" Nioh chuckled:

"I like the name." He added.

The man frowned and pointed his spear at the two:

"Go back from whatever hole you crawled out from, or else we will strike!!" He spat out.

BAM!!!

The pirates all raised their heads to the starship, seeing all the cannons, numbering hundreds now aiming down at them.

The Pirates instantly fell into chaos, one attack from those cannons was enough to wipe 80% of their number... And with their number, it will be a bloodbath.

'Although the cannons are empty, they surely do the job' Josephine thought and yelled, rising her sword into the air:

"You guys have two options!! Which Is, surrender and work for us, or die here with this planet!!" She yelled.

"Insolent!!!"

Josephine and Nioh looked ahead, as another figure walked towards them.

"Queen Josephine, that is the first leader, and founder of the pirates, Blood eye. No one knows her real name. But this one eye bitch is one evil bastard! I also heard she is more than 500 years old." Nioh whispered, while Josephine nodded.

The woman stopped before them, she was in a black T-shirt and pants, with a long red cape behind her.

"You are just a Master rank with good equipments, what gave you so much gut to come here and spat out nonsense?!" The red hair leader asked.

"You must be the leader of these pirates---"

"We aren't pirates! We are a free nation! Not subjected to rules!" Blood eye cut Josephine off.

'A heavenly rank, stage one warrior... If it wasn't for my equipment and the starship, I won't even have the gut to stand in her presence... But...' Josephine smirked:

"You already know my conditions, you can choose!" She said, lowering her sword.

Blood eye raised an eyebrow. She raised her head to the starship, then at her people behind her.

"So you will attack if we don't submit?" She asked in a low dangerous tone.

Before Josephine could reply, a voice sounded:

"So stubborn... I dislike those who doesn't listen to instructions."

Everyone raised their heads to the starship as a beam of light shot down from it, slamming into the ground behind Josephine and Nioh... And before their eyes, a shirtless figure walked out, his cape sweeping the ground behind him.

Blood eye frown slightly, feeling the dense amount of celestial energy emanating from the newcomer.

'What is this?! Even this wolf lady doesn't have this much celestial energy?! Then how can a soul formation rank have it? Is he hiding his main rank?!' She thought in mild confusion.

"My King!"

"Husband!"

The two bowed, making way for Sunny.

'Husband? My King?? So these guys are royalty?! That explains the starship.'

She fixed her gaze on Sunny:

"Is the Beastify nation waging war on us?!" Blood eye asked.

"War?" Sunny scoffed:

"You guys are too insufficient to get our attention." He said arrogantly.

".....?"

The pirates were stunned by his words.

"Then why are you here?!!" The scar face man with a scar yelled in rage.

Sunny turned to him, and unleashed his pressure on the man, forcing him to his knees.

"You!!"

The man gritted his teeth, his fist clenched in anger:

'What is this?! I can't even move my body?!!' He thought in mild horror.

'No way... the second leader is a grandmaster! But he can't even resist this stranger's celestial pressure?! He is indeed hiding his true strength!' Blood eye thought and said:

"Release my man, please!!"

"Your subordinates should know when to speak and when to be quiet... Next time, I won't be so merciful." Sunny said redrawing his pressure, and the man sighed in relief, slowly getting to his feet.

"Ok... Why are you here then?" Blood eye asked.

"I will move straight to the point." Sunny said with a smirk and continued:

"You and your race will work for me! You will become my troops, and will always be under my command!"

"....?"

The pirates were speechless.

"What made you think we will agree?" Blood eye yelled.

Sunny chuckled:

"I know you are all in a... How should I put it, a predicament... I can help with just a snap of my fingers... By joining me, you won't have to worry about food, shelter, celebrations, women, or men... And most of all money... If you accept my offer today, each one of you will receive ten thousand Galaxy crystals, and you as the leaders... Will surely gain more."

"Ten thousand?!!"

"Wow! That is more than what we stole last time."

"I can't believe this?!"

"With that money, my debt will be cleared!"

Sunny snapped a finger and a scroll appeared before him, and with a wave of his hand, it floated towards Blood eye.

"You already know what that is..." He said.

"A Blood pact scroll?" Blood eye muttered in mild surprised.

"Yes... That way, you all can't betray me... If you do, you'll die on the spot!"

".....?!"

Silence.

Sunny turned around, and paused:

"Become my troops, and enjoy life... You won't be wearing rags then, but all elite class equipment and weapons... Which will be available to those who are completely loyal to me."

The beam of light shot down, and envelope the three:

"I have a scroll for every one of you... You have ten hours to decide. Tomorrow... We will know your decision."

With that said, the three floated into the air and entered the starship, leaving a group of stunned pirates behind.

"Ten hours." Blood eye muttered staring at the starship.
