It was a miracle the ship had even survive so long under pursuit. Even more, the fact that the pirate queen had managed to sink 60 ships of the Sinese Imperial Navy. Anyway, this only made Kenzo’s job way easier. Without wasting a single moment, the warrior charged towards the ship. It was still being guarded most of its crew. Many of them were working on repairs or making camp in the beach. The cove was a long distance away from the main shanty town, so no one could easily call for reinforcements. Kenzo had to finish all of them quickly in order to make it back in time.
Charging with Masamune in his grasp, the warrior swung the long blade at the first set of defenders that came his way. The male sliced through them as if they were made out of butter. Bells rung to announce Kenzo’s invasion, bringing a swarm of grunts that were easily dispatched by the swordsman. Little by little, inch by inch, life after life the warrior made it inside the ship, leaving behind him a trail of death and destruction. Punching through one of the walls of the ship, the mercenary finally made it to what he assumed to be the captain’s quarters.
It had been almost half an hour since he launched his attack at the pirate gang, but there were still no signs of the Pirate Queen. It seemed that most pirates had either died, been injured or escaped by now since none came to try and stop him. As he got inside the chamber, he saw the majestic piece of armor in full display. It was exactly what he was looking for. Taking it and storing it inside his pocket dimension ring, he turned around planning to return to Port Hargeon. However, he felt a weak hand grabbing at his toe before he left. Cheng Shih herself was dragging herself through the floor, obviously injured. It seemed that the wound had infected so she didn’t have much time left. With her dying breathe, she simply managed to mutter a single sentence.
”Never return it to Sin”
