”We’re under attack!!” the sentries screamed as a barrage of cannonballs flew through the air, whooshing mere inches away from the masts or landing just short of the large vessel and into the sea. The ship rocked violently at the rippling effect of the attacks, shaking Kenzo off his feet. Merry had stayed inside their cabin, considering he didn’t fare well in humid places. As Kenzo made his way up the deck, he quickly took notice of their enemies.
There were 2 large ships within firing range, black flags hoisted high above their poles. The had the same symbol as the ones in the hideout they’d busted before. Seems like their prey had come without them needing to weed them out.
An evil smirk grew on Kenzo’s lips, roaring him up for battle. As the ship’s crew ran around in confusion as they tried to man their battle positions, Kenzo jumped over the deck and onto the railing before propelling himself into the sea. Any outsider that saw him would have believed him to have thrown himself off, but that was far from what he intended. In an instant, a bright light materialized out of nowhere and summoned Kenzo’s flying cape, lifting him high up in the air.
The battle lasted for hours, until eventually a victor had been decided. Kenzo had managed to completely capture the 2 vessels, incapacitating most of the crew and securing their explosive cargo so they couldn’t blow themselves up in retaliation. Most importantly, he’d learned a vital piece of information.
Buried within a secret compartment in the captain’s cabin, a map had been hidden in a hurry. Kenzo smiled at his luck. He now held a map pointing to the first warlord’s hideout.
