Pirate: I Can Repel Everything

It wasn't just the two of them. The villagers had caught on too. At last, they understood what had happened.

Then every villager started shouting. They went wild.

"They're dead! Every last one of them! Hahaha..."

"Those damned Fish-Men! I'll avenge my Pops. Even if they're dead, I want to stab them again!"

"No, no, we should thank the Chris Pirates! They're the ones who helped us. Thank you, Chris Pirates! May heaven watch over you!"

"Our saviors! I'll put up a tablet for you at home and pray that heaven protects the Chris Pirates, keeps your journey smooth, and spares you from harm."

"Long live the Chris Pirates! You're a shining example to all Pirates!"

"And now we do. We're full of hope for the future. We can't wait to see what's ahead."

"When our adventures are over, Nojiko and I will come home.
