Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: Calm at Sea

Ares: Are you sure about this?

Shun: What are you talking about?

Ares: You know very well what I'm talking about. Boy, I don't think he's in his right mind for this mission

Shun: It may be...

Ares: So why the hell did you bring him? You don't see how dangerous it can be. Not only that, Blackbeard is a monster, if the boy tries to fight him, he will die

Shun: He has been the one who chose this path, I can't stop him. If he has to die at Blackbeard's hands, he will die

Ares: Are you an idiot? They are the future, we cannot allow them to die

Shun: Don't try to give me lessons in morality, Ares

Shun: Do you really think it's fair to just leave it behind? The wretch Blackbeard hurt his loved ones, do you think he will sit quietly while we solve this?

Ares: I know, but, you're just putting at risk the life that someone else protected. If he dies, don't you think that Iseli's sacrifice will be in vain?

Shun: *Pointing to Eden* I think that idiot thinks the same thing, that's why he's here. But whatever he said to the little vampire, he's been driven by being here. They both know their lives are at stake, but they still decided to come

Ares: *sighs* Okay, but, leave me in charge of those two, I can't let anything happen to them

*Shun looks intrigued at Ares*

Shun: Okay, but why?

Ares: Let's leave it at that it makes me feel better about myself...

Shun: Okay. Just be careful

Ares: Why?

Shun: Those two have a very serious illness

Ares: Really?

Shun: yes... They have third-degree idiocy, very serious in both worlds

*Ares punches Shun and leaves his head nailed to the ground*

Ares: Damn idiot

Ares: *With a small smile* Don't worry, I've been with you for many years, and I still haven't been infected

Joan of Arc: Land in sight

Eden: Is this Death Island? It doesn't look as scary as its name

Shun: No, we're coming to Port Royal, the city of pirates

Alexbold: Why? What are we doing wasting our time here? The longer we delay, the more distance Blackbeard will take us

Shun: Don't worry, little vampire, Blackbeard will take a while to get to Death Island. But if we go if someone experimented, we'll die before we arrived

*The group moors the ship to the port, while they are watched in a threatening manner by several pirates*

*Several whistles and murmurs begin to be heard as the group advances*

Pirate 1: Hey young lady, don't you think you should be with a real man?

Pirate 2: Baby Don't want a little fun on our ship? We'll show you what seafarers do

Joan of Arc: Damn Pigs

Tiresias: It seems that young people today don't know how to treat a lady

*A small drop of blood is shown on Alexbold's finger*

Eden: Don't even think about it, you'll only create more trouble

*a drunken pirate approaches Shun*

Pirate 3: Oy... e Jo.. How much can I do for the chi-ca?

Shun: *With a look of contempt* What are you talking about?

Pirate 3: *With a perverted look* You know, to show him who's boss

Shun: *With a wry smile* Ahh, yes, I know what you're talking about

Pirate 3: So what is it?

*A rain of blood and the pirate's arms on the ground are shown*

Pirate 3: *Screaming in Pain* Damn bastard!

*Two pirates point their gun at Shun's head*

Pirate 4: Who the hell do you think you are cursed?

Shun: I don't have time to waste with you scum

Pirate 4: Shut up!

*Two shots are heard and the two pirates are shown on the ground*

Shun: Very slow...

Pirate 6: Surrender or else I'll kill her!

*Shun sees how the pirate has Joan of Arc trapped*

Shun: Hey, hey, you don't know what you're doing

Pirate 6: Drop all your weapons and surrender, if you don't want me to kill her

Shun: Hey dude, I recommend you let go, you don't know what you're doing

Pirate 6: Shut up, I'll kill her before you can touch me

Shun: *sighs* Don't tell me I didn't warn you

*Juana hits the pirate in the balls and then hits him several times that knocks him unconscious*

Joan: Don't you dare lay your hands on me again, scum

Unknown: Wow, wow, you seem to like to get attention anywhere you are, Shun

Shun: It's not my fault, these idiots sought conflict

Unknown: It's very rare to see you around here, what are you looking for?

Shun: *Smile slightly* How well you know me, Drake

Drake: I'm a pirate, I know liars very well

Shun: Let's talk somewhere else, it's kind of important

Drake: Received

Pirate 6: Wait there! Where do you think they are going?

Drake: Hey, scum. You'd better take your shoulders with your men Or would you rather I talk to Mary

Pirate 6: *With a puzzled face* No, we're going to get out of here, but don't say anything to Captain Read

*The whole group leaves the place*

*A table is shown where Olivier Levasseur, Mary Read, Francis Drake and Shun are seated*

Olivier: So what do you need from us?

Shun: I'm surprised to see the three of you together, what has happened in these years?

Drake: I think the same reason that brought them here

Shun: Sounds like that guy is more dangerous than I thought

Mary: Do you know what your goal is?

Shun: No, all I have is this

*Shun places a map on the table*

Mary: This is...

Olivier: The Island of Death

Shun: I figured you guys would know what's there and how to get there

Olivier: You'd better abandon the idea of reaching him

Alexbold: What did you say?!

Shun: It looks like you know what's in there

Olivier: The island is full of monsters and beings that no one could stop, beings that come from another world, once you enter there, nothing is the same again

Alexbold: Don't justify your fear, you're just a coward, king of the pirates

*Several pirates aim at Alexbold's head*

*Shun starts laughing*

Olivier: What's so funny Shun?

Shun: It seems like those words hurt your pride, Olivier. The boy's right Olivier, I'm just wasting my time here, none of the three can give me what I need

*Shun gets up from his chair*

Rous (Olivier's Pirate): Where do you think you're going? The captain hasn't given you...

*Shun stares at Rous causing him to start shaking*

Drake: If you need to get there, I'll take you

Mary: Drake? What do you think you do?

Drake: I'm not going to rot sitting here, if I have to choose a place to die, it's going to be the sea, not here

Shun: *Smiles* Okay, I'll wait for you at the port, Sir. Francis Drake

*Mary is shown with Drake*

Mary: What the hell do you think you're doing? You know very well that if you go to that island, you'll probably die

Drake: At what point did we start to be afraid of danger?

Mary: Are you sure what you want to go?

Drake: yes, I'm more than sure. I need to know the truth behind it

*Drake's arm is shown with a purple energy that has absorbed his arm*

Mary: Be careful, Drake

Drake: I'll have it

Olivier: Drake

Drake: Olivier, no matter what you tell me, I'm not going to stay

Olivier: Take care of yourself friend

*Drake clenches his fist and turns around*

Drake: Idiot

*Shun's group is shown on the boat*

Eden: Why did the others reject the offer? In our world it is said that pirates cherished treasures and adventures, over their own lives

Shun: You're not that far from reality, for them their life is adventures

Eden: Then why did they refuse?

Shun: They... They're cursed

*Eden and Alexbold are shown surprised*

Shun: It's very hard to perceive, but they're cursed. I don't know the details, but it seems that now we have another concern on that island, this will be very interesting

*An island covered in a thick fog and a large storm around it is shown*
