Lord Shadow

Chapter 1403: KaijuIt is also because of this that she understood what the Crime Alliance was thinking in the beginning.          

Even if the pirate lords get the weapon, they might sell it in the black market    

And the black market belongs to the Crime Alliance. In the end, they would have a big chance of getting the trident.      

As for the competition between the Crime Alliance and the Pirate in this island, it might be the main plan. If the initial plan failed, then the Crime Alliance could still hope that whoever from the pirate side that get the weapon would sell it.      

Mary doesnʼt know whether she should thank Earthshaker or curses him. Because of the Earthshaker she now knew the importance that the Crime Alliance is attaching to this trident.    

Right now, her mind is calculating things. She closes her eyes. And she is frowning. Golden Face is waiting. Gray Becker stands not far away from Pirate Lord Mary, also waiting.    

It felt like hours but then Mary opens her eyes. It is clear that her expression is not good.    

She did the calculation. And there is one thing that was certain in her many calculations. She once again looks toward the wind barrier in the distance and she sighed    

Golden Face was puzzled. Why is she sighing? But then she said    

  ʼI could not defeat Raymondʼ she paused for a moment and said    

ʼEven if me and my first mate combined power to attack him, Earthshaker is not someone that we could defeat. It is a problem of quality and realmʼ    

Golden Face did not say anything. He determined to just listen.      

She sighed and said.    

ʼI might be able to fight Disk Formation levelers but that is normal Disk Formation levelers. Raymond is more powerful than that and his control over the Earth and the elements is masterful. The moment I set foot on that island, I would easily be beaten. And there is still Sofia. Say what you want about her, but she has Houyi Bow. That alone made her particularly dangerous.ʼ    

ʼSo, you are going to give up?ʼ Golden Face ask, his tone is very calm.      

It was like he already knows how she would answer. The temptation that he gave her is very tempting.      

He is quite sure that the Pirate Lord Mary would bite.      

Mary got up from her throne and then said    

ʼIf what you said is true, and that the trident on that island is truly the trident of Poseidon and not a replica, then I could not just watch it fall into the hands of any force.ʼ She is looking at the wind barrier but then she turns to look at Golden Face and said    

ʼEven if that force is Crime Allianceʼ Golden Face nodded and simply said    

ʼThe strongest would win. And if that is you, then I guess we have to accept it. It is better than the trident falling into the hands of Raymond and the World Governmentʼ    

Golden Face believe if he reported this to the Red Table, they would not blame him.  The world powers are no longer that antagonistic with each other.    

Right now, is the period of reconciliation. Other than the League of Freedom who have some hard on fighting with the World Government, most world powers are allied with each other.    

Even if they fought, the Three Great Powers, Pandemonium, the Republic and the World Government would stand strong together.    

If Raymond get the trident, that means the World Government got it.      

And with the cooperation with the Republic and Pandemonium, the sea would no longer be safe.        

Right now, because of the effect of reality merging during the Multiversal Convergence, the ten seas that was formed because of the Multiversal Convergence, become the perfect place to hide from the eyes of Heaven and from the surveillance of the world powers.    

Having the trident is like having an access key to all the seas. Golden Face knows that in the sea right now, it is an age of pirates.    

Once anyone from the world powers get that trident, this dominance ends then those pirate lords would also not have a good end.    

And it is also because he knows he got the true backing of one of the members of the Red Table that he dares do this.      

Mary frowned after she heard what Golden Face is saying.      

ʼI donʼt think that the Red Table would be very pleased that you made this kind of decision without informing themʼ    

Golden Face simply said.    

ʼWhatever the case, this is our organization problemʼ Hearing this Mary laughed and nodded    

ʼTrue.ʼ She then walks to the helm of her ship.    

Behind her is her first mate following closely behind. And not far behind is Golden Face. She sighed and said    

ʼWhile I am not confident of fighting both Raymond and Sofia, there is someone that I know that couldʼ Hearing this Golden Face was shocked.      

ʼIf its him, I think he could do itʼ    

It is fortunate that his shock could not be seen by anyone.    

ʼThe Pirate Lords hides deeplyʼ he said.      

ʼIt is not only you that knows how to keep secretsʼ Mary said, smiling a bit.    

Gray Becker who is behind Mary seems to frown and then ask    

ʼIs it himʼ    

Mary look back and nodded. Gray Becker then said    

ʼI donʼt like himʼ      

Mary smiles bitterly    

ʼI donʼt like him either.ʼ    

ʼWho are you talking about?ʼ Golden Face asked.    

ʼKaijuʼ they both speak in unison.    

Golden Face took a moment before he reacts    

ʼThe Pirate that replaced Yamamoto Shouji? That man?ʼ          

Gray Becker snorted and then said    

ʼIs he really human?ʼ he suddenly asks. Mary did not answer but Golden Face did not hear Gray Becker words as he is trying to recall what he knows about Kaiju    

Golden Face heard that a couple of months ago, there was someone who is called Kaiju that defeated Yamamoto Shouji.      

Yamamoto Shouji is the captain of the Soaring Sun Pirates.      

They are a mix of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnam, Cambodia, North Korean and many other Asian people    

After the establishment of the Seven Great powers, old regime crumbles. And even if it does exist, they are usually under the umbrella of one of the seven great powers.    

And the Soaring Sun Pirates terrorized the Asian seas and attack many of the Lotus Order ports all over Asia.      

During the early years of Lotus Order pacification of Asia, the Soaring Sun is one of the most headache inducing problems for the Lotus Order.      

Yamamoto Shouji himself is a powerful Pirate Lord who rules through fear and coercion. Which is like the standard operating procedure of pirates and crime empire alike.    

But, Yamamoto is truly heinous in the way he tortured people who betrayed him. Let say, he is very creative in inflicting pain to those who he deems his enemy    

So, much so that even his allies fear him. Surprisingly enough, the more he is like this, the more people doesnʼt want to be in his ship and many more wanted to betray him    

Fear and coercion only work for a time.      

But then Kaiju appears.      

From what Golden Face remembers, one of the pirates of the Soaring Sun pirate invited Kaiju to kill Yamamoto Shouji.    

Yamamoto Shouji is a Disk Formation levelers.      

That alone made him a powerful force.      

Granted, he rushes his promotion level but in the end, as long as he did not meet fight one on one with people from the Great Powers or those who have strong foundation, he could still remain a powerful figure in the sea.    

But he met Kaiju.      

Golden Face does not know how the battle was fought but he knew that Yamamoto dies, and Kaiju become the captain of Soaring Sun pirates and he was quickly inducted into a Pirate Lord status.    

Golden Face is quite surprised that Bloody Mary seems to be quite close with Kaiju.      

Golden Face tries to remember more about Kaiju but he doesnʼt know about this person much    

ʼDo you know much about him, Golden Face?ʼ Golden Face shook his head and then he said    

ʼOther than the fact that he defeated the previous captain and become a pirate lord, I donʼt know much about himʼ    

Mary chuckles bitterly and then she said.      

ʼWell, we donʼt either. We just know that he never dies. He is not the strongest in the world but he sure feels like itʼ        

ʼLet me go Captainʼ Gray Becker was about to surf the wind, the temperature around them had already dropped    

A trails of ice is already forming in the air but Mary hold him back.    

ʼI will invite him out. If you go there, his crew would drag you to become a scrubber on his ship just for laughsʼ    

Mary walk forward. In front is simply the sea but as she stepped on the wind, red aura seems to materialize under her feet.    

Teleporting and any spatial magic in the Turbulent sea is hard to succeed because of the special nature of the Turbulent Sea environment      

Hence, people like Mary who did not yet manage to be able to use space to her advantage could have the advantage here in this sea.      

Even outside the sea, she could not teleport. Even though she could fight a Disk Formation leveler, in the end, she is not a Disk Formation leveler herself.      

There are things that she could not do.      

And it is also because of this, even though she had fought many Disk Formation leveler, she only had killed two Disk Formation leveler in her years of becoming pirates.      

And the two Disk Formation leveler that died under her hand dies because they are too stubborn.    

If they choose to run away, even with all the power that Mary had she could not be able to chase.      

If she could not teleport even outside of this sea, how could she teleport in this sea that even Disk Formation levelers find it hard to teleport?      

But she could fly. However, there is a certain weight to her that pressure space. She is after all a giant.      

Golden Face did not follow.      

He stays there with Gray Becker, waiting.    

In front of them Mary flew forward, the red aura become even more visible and her speed become faster    

She passes through thick mist and fogs that always appears in the Turbulent Sea and disappears from the eyes of Gray Becker and Golden Face.      

Golden Face choose to wait in the cabins while Gray Becker barks orders to the crew of the ship. The protection dome once again activated.      

Even though Golden Face is in the cabin, and even though he appears calm, he could not shake this feeling of anxiousness.    

ʼhe said I should trust my instinct moreʼ he mutters to himself. His feet could not stop shaking up and down and he shakes his head    

ʼI got to get out from this roomʼ he thought to himself.      

So, he did not stay long in the cabin. He was only in the cabin for five minutes before he got up to the upper deck and look toward the island.      

If Mary is late, and the trident falls into either the hands of Raymond or Sofia, he would vamoose out of this sea      

He once again looks toward that island. It seems that a battle is still ongoing. It is hard to see through the wind barriers and any sound of explosion is muted by the whirring sound of the wind barriers    

There is not only the people that enters the wind barriers that is present in the island.        

There is also monsters that is spawned inside the island. Like it is some kind of a special dungeon for levelers    

Another five minutes pass and Golden Face is at the verge of breaking in anxiousness but then he heard the sound of the wind that is different from the sound of the wind barrier    

Even though the protection formation around the ship isolate the sound of natural wind, the sound still enters his ears.      

He looks toward the helm and he saw Mary.      

ʼWhat the hell?!ʼ he thought as his eyes widened. That is because he saw something behind Mary.      

A twenty-five feet figure flying in the sky. The presence of this figure seems to crack the space around him and forces the wind flow to divert from it.      

ʼLike a gigantic monsterʼ that is his first impression of that figure    

It has the face of a man but it looks like a monster.      

A powerful aura seems to shroud this man    

Gray Becker who is standing on the edge of the ship suddenly appears beside Golden Face. Golden Face was not startled and he look toward Gray Becker    

He could immediately see that Gray Becker is tensed.      

ʼIs that...ʼ Golden Face did not yet finish his question before Gray Becker answer    

  ʼYes, that is Kaijuʼ Gray Becker entire body seems to become tense. And he is not the only one. Golden Face look around and he could tell all the crews of the ship look toward Kaiju in the distance like they were about to face their greatest enemy    

ʼI do not like this idea at allʼ Gray Becker said. He sighed and then he shouted    

ʼPut down the formationʼ      

A droning sound sounded all over the ship a second later.      

The protection formation was disabled, and Mary landed on the ship. A second later, Kaiju landed.      

SSBOOM!    

SPLASHH!    

The moment he landed, the entire ship tilted to his side, the sea water rises up to the air. The entire ship felt like a bomb just landed on the middle of the deck.      

The floor of the ship bends and a powerful pressure seems to have descended from the sky.      

This is the first time Golden Face saw Kaiju and the feeling of seeing it makes him feel like he is in front of one of the members of the Red Table.    

The pressure coming off from him is truly coercing.    

It is the same feeling of powerlessness he would feel when he is face to face with the members of the Red Table.      

This pressure could also be felt by everyone in the ship.          

The wind around him seems to be repelled like a wave of power that keep repelling the wind and this wave become stronger as seconds passes by.      

Kaiju the Pirate Lord of the Soaring Sun Pirates has come!
