Chapter 262 Sky Fall

"Cannons are set and ready!" Apollo shouted from the lower deck.

They often had their cannons ready, just in case they encountered any enemy ships along their journey. However, Apollo still had to make sure each cannon was loaded with ammunition and properly aimed before they could be fired.

"Fire!" Mars commanded with a fierce tone.

In the lower deck, Apollo sighed and lit the fuse on the first cannon before moving to the second one. He did that to each cannon, and once he reached the final cannon, the first cannon exploded with a deafening boom.

A cannonball shot through the air and crashed through the hull of the enemy ship.

Boom, boom, boom—the cannonballs shot from each cannon, one after another, creating a symphony of destruction.

However, then a pleasant and low-pitched voice traversed throughout the air.

"Lalala~"

As if the sea listened to the pleasant voice, a fifty-meter-high wave appeared in the path of the cannonballs.

The cannonballs flew straight through, but the wave absorbed their impact, causing them to lose all their momentum, eventually causing each cannonball to land on the sea.

Boom, boom—the sea exploded all around the ships.

The force of the explosion sent shockwaves rippling through the water, creating a powerful surge that threatened to capsize the ships.

However, since the explosion happened underwater, the ships didn't suffer any damage.

"Reload, and continue firing!" Mars shouted while his cold, blue, and silver eye with a star-shaped pupil looked towards the red-haired woman on the enemy ship's deck.

She was wielding some kind of mace that had a glowing, ethereal aura around it. It also had some kind of wave symbol. It almost felt like the special mace had some kind of connection with the sea.

'The Mace of the Sea King. He actually gave this to her? What were they doing in here for him to trust her with such a valuable magical weapon?' Mars clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Boom, boom, boom—a storm of cannonballs flew from the enemy ship and rained upon them, threatening to sink the ship to the bottom of the sea!

Mars quickly sprang into action, and with a single punch, he sent a wide-range shockwave attack that swept the cannonballs away.

That wasn't all.

The cannonballs, with equally powerful force, rebounded off the shockwave and flew back towards the enemy ship.

Loud screams reverberated from the enemy ship as they didn't expect the cannonballs to come back at them.

However, the sea exploded in front of their ship and wrapped around the cannonballs. A massive tentacle, made of sea water, tangled the cannonballs into its grasp. and threw them back to the Black Heart.

Mars was slightly taken aback and was about to throw another punch, but then he felt the air current shift, as if something was approaching from behind.

He turned around and saw the white-haired person reeling in his fist.

"Whoo..." Zero closed his eyes before throwing a straight punch. "Zero Impact."

Swoosh—wind picked up and slammed against the dozens of cannonballs, stopping them mid-air!

Jake, the Starborn miracle, sprang up into the air and kicked the cannonballs with incredible force, sending them back to the enemy ship.

He used the cannonballs like they were mere footballs, scoring a direct hit on the enemy ship and causing a massive explosion.

Boom—the side of the enemy ship's suffered a catastrophic amount of damage, causing the water to infiltrate the ship.

"Lalalala~" The Red-Eyed Bonney's voice turned more rapid and powerful as she raised the mace high above her head.

Swoosh—but then a figure appeared in front of her with a burning gaze.

"?!" Bonney's eye widened in shock.

"What were you doing out here, I wonder?" Mars grinned hideously and slammed his fist across her beautiful face, knocking her to the ground, causing her grip on the Mace of the Sea King to slip.

Before the mace could fall to the depths of the sea, Mars picked it up and grinned. "A nice weapon."

"G-give it back!" Bonney screamed desperately, half of her face bruised and battered with a broken nose and swollen eye.

"Captain Bonney!" Her subordinates drew their weapons and rushed at Mars.

"Hmph, peasants." Mars swung the mace, sending Bonney's subordinates flying across the deck.

Their cries of pain filled the air as they crashed into barrels and crates. Most had broken bones, and their weapons clattered to the ground in defeat.

"Y-you won't get away with this..." Bonney said angrily. "The Sea King will avenge us."

"Hahaha..." Mars grinned and leaned closer to Bonney. He reached out his long tongue and licked her face, savoring the taste of her fear.

Her face paled and trembled like a frightened bunny.

"Maybe that's what I want?" Mars posed a question before grinning and raising the mace high.

"W-wait!" Bonney screamed. "S-spare me, and I'll let yo—"

Smash!

The mace crashed into the skull of the former great pirate captain, ending her life and silencing her pleas for mercy.

"Y'all nothing but ugly whores when compared with her." Mars grinned and cleaned the blood with an old rag.

He then turned to the frightened pirates and smiled menacingly.

Back in Black Heart, Ambrose and others heard the sound of bones cracking and screams fading away like a broken recorder.

They knew that Mars had taken care of the pirates for good.

After a while, Mars landed back on the deck of Black Heart, his clothes clean and straight, with no drop of blood in them.

"Take everything you can find on the ship, then bring them to the lower deck." Mars said as he returned to his quarters.

The crew quickly scrambled and boarded the Red-Eyed pirate ship and saw the aftermath of the fight.

Each pirate had their skulls mashed in with a blunt object, leaving a gruesome and bloody scene.

"Let's do this quickly." Apollo said as he saw water rising below the lower deck. "This ship sinks soon."

Everyone nodded and separated as they scattered to search for any treasures.

Ambrose trotted down a dimly lit corridor, the water level already reaching his knees.

After a while, he came across the captain's quarters, which was exactly what he was looking for.

Inside, Ambrose found a dusty desk covered in old maps and yellowed documents.

The bookshelves had old nautical novels and weathered logbooks.

"I suppose I'll take this." He grabbed the maps and documents and was about to leave, but then he found a hidden compartment in one of the drawers.

It was only visible because there was a small latch sticking out as if it were hurriedly closed.

After opening it, he discovered a pearl with a cracked surface that shimmered faintly in the dim light.

It was different from the teleportation pearl, as there was a strange glowing eye inside, as if it were floating in water.

"What is this?" Ambrose picked it up, and suddenly a notification appeared before his eyes.

[You acquired the item "Sky Fall"]

[Sky Fall: An ancient artifact that lets you teleport a large object by will—the downside is that the large object will appear in the sky and fall down to your decided destination]

'This must be the item that this pirate group used to fall from the sky. It is very cracked, so it would seem that this only has one or two uses left.

'This is a very valuable item, even though the downside is quite big. It could fetch a high price in the right market.'

After remembering that he would have to give this to Mars, a thought of greed arose in his mind.

'I can hide this in my inventory. No one will ever know.' Ambrose looked around the empty cabin and then carefully put it inside his inventory.

'Time to see whether my inventory manages to hide from Mars.' He thought and closed the drawer before leaving the cabin.
