A shrill alarm rang out.
Weevil, who looked rather dim-witted, destroyed the side of a warship with a single blow from his naginata.
He leaped toward the warship, intent on killing.
The warship rocked violently, taking on water and listing. The soldiers aboard began to panic.
Ain, her hair sky blue, steadied herself:
"Everyone! Abandon ship immediately!!!"
Though briefly flustered, she quickly regained her composure.
She took command of the others, who had no idea what to do.
At the same time, she drew the two short blades at her waist and charged at Weevil.
The pirate ship surrounded by the warships was somewhat battered, its deck strewn with corpses.
Clearly, Weevil had slaughtered the entire Pirates Crew before the training ships tracked them down and surrounded them. The training fleet had simply happened to arrive then...
Miss Bakkin counted money as she shouted to Weevil:
"Son! Kill them all!!!"
With one swing of his naginata, Weevil knocked Ain back:
"Okay, Mom!!!"
Weapon in hand, he charged at Ain as she clutched her left arm. Their first exchange had lasted only an instant.
But even with both blades, Ain had been unable to withstand his tremendous strength. As she retreated, his blade had grazed her shoulder, leaving it bleeding steadily.
Ain hurriedly used Geppo to rise into the sky.
Weevil froze when he saw his target fly into the air, then crouched slightly.
Boom!
The deck shattered, and he shot toward Ain like a rocket.
Hovering in midair, Ain watched Weevil hurtle toward her, her pupils contracting sharply... Too fast...
Her feet never stopped moving as she used Geppo to retreat at full speed.
Watching Ain continue to back away, Weevil shouted:
"Don't run, little bug!!!"
"Aah!!!!"
He raised his weapon and slashed in Ain's direction.
An enormous crescent-shaped blade
