The Siren System Pirate

Chapter 20: Crossed Tridents



As Captain Goob and Captain Flora are engaged in battle, the Daisy pirates begin to emerge from the ship with weapons and dark and evil glares eager for murder. "Aha! I'm no beast fighter but I'd jump at the opportunity to kill myself some pirates!" Evelyn jumped at the proudful voice next to her and saw a Large Muscular man in intricate heavy armor and a large sword. He looks at her and says, "Dear Girl. You're so young but watching you, you're so strong. I'm the owner of this dear water park. The name's Popeye S. M. Spinach. S. M. stands for Sailor Man. Growing up, living in a garbage can I had only longed to build a waterpark to make people happy and these sea beasts and pirates ruin it. I will intervene and aide you with these pirates as you fight the monster!"

"This Spinach is an odd fellow," Evelyn thought. He had gray hair, a short gray beard and a mix of gold and green color eyes. "That's not normal."

"Are you talking about his eyes?" Freya asked. "It's common for the richest people in the world to get their irises tattooed with gold. I for one think it's tacky."

 "So you're going to fight the pirates, Mr. Spinach?" Evelyn asked.

 "Nope," he answered with a smile. "There are still people here who need to get to safety and leave until I reopen again." He walks away as he starts to help people outside.

 She rolls her eyes and looks at the beast who's recovering from the Daisy Pirate ship shooting it with a cannon. Looking at the HP bar, Evelyn couldn't help but laugh that the cannon was barely doing any damage. What the cannon did do was create a smoke screen that the beast didn't attack without knowing what it would be attacking.

 The Daisy Pirate's that left the ship made it to the shore and were walking to Evelyn. "Before you come any closer, can I help you?"

 A tall pirate in a green shirt said, "We would love it if you could die for us. We recognize you and you have a pretty bounty on your head." He holds up a wanted poster with Evelyn's face on it.

 She looks at the poster and then looks at them, "What about the rest of us?" She asks.

 "You're the lowest so we imagine we kill the weakest one first." A pirate in a red shirt said.

 "Okay," She said. "Cool. Now tell me, which of you has powers and read the wanted poster?"

 They looked among one another and a pirate in a blue shirt said, "Our Captain is the only one with powers on our crew."

 "So they can't read the special case," Evelyn smiled.

[Your life is being threatened]

[Mission: Kill Daisy Pirate Crewmembers]

[Pirates Killed: 0/25]

[Reward: Loot]

"Loot?" Evelyn managed to whisper.

 "You might be disappointed, and you might be lucky," Freya laughed.

 "You're laughing AT me, aren't you?" Evelyn thought to her with a content tone.

 The pirates lunged at Evelyn, and she backed up immediately and dodged a lot of their sword attacks with ease. When she would see an opening, she would use her heated gauntlets to punch them.

[Pirate Killed – Shattered Ribcage: +15 points]

[Pirates Killed: 1/25]

"Excuse me?" Evelyn thought.

 "No time to explain if you don't want to die," Freya said.

 Evelyn dodged another attack from a pirate and then an oncoming sword attack she could not dodge, she attempted to grab the sword and caught it and then it melted at the point where she had grabbed.

 The pirates who had all saw the sword melt backed up. "You have got to be kidding me." The one in the green shirt said. Who also now seemed to be the leader of this squad of the pirates. "Our swords are steel. Their melting point is 1371 C (2500 F). There is no way she could have done that with her bare hands."

 She looked down at the tip of the sword lying on the ground and the end that looked like it was cooling down, but with no doubt looked like it was melted off. "I don't have time to think about this," she thought as she heard the monster wailing from another fire from the Daisy Pirates Ship cannon. She kicked the blade off the ground and now controlling the heat of her gauntlets cooled them down enough to grab the blade and throw it at two pirates that were close by and goes clean through them both.

[Pirates Killed – Piercing Gone Wrong: +30 points]

[Pirates Killed: 3/25]

"Piercing gone wrong?" Evelyn thought.

 "That knife went through their nipples," Freya answered.

 "That's awfully specific," she thought.

 "You three, go get her!" The green shirt pirate said. Three guys walked up with two of them holding pole blades and the last holding a baton with a spiked ball and chain attached to it.

 The two with the pole blades rushed at her and from the distance attempted to attack her. Their attacks were swift and were surely skilled at their weapons. Too focused on dodging, She didn't notice the pirate with the ball and chain come behind her and swing at her. She focused her fire on slowing the trajectory of the ball, caught it, burned off the chain and used the spiked ball to slam the pirates face into the ground and reading the other two pirates momentum carrying them too much to dodge a flying object, chucked it at them ripping an arm off each of them and as they crashed to the ground, took their spears and stabbed them in the chests where they laid on the ground.

[Pirates Killed – Ball to the Face – Sorry Excuse for a Skewer: +45 points]

[Pirates Killed: 6/25]

"We really need to talk about these names after this is over," She thought.

 "I'm not the one making these names," Freya said. "Also, why are you just toying with them?"

 "Toying with them?" Evelyn asked, keeping her eye out for the next pirate to attack her. The silence from Freya gave her time to think and then laughed. "Oh right."

 "Dammit! Everyone, charge her at once! She can't melt all our swords and she can't dodge all of us!" The green shirt pirates said.

 Evelyn stood straight, held her body out ready to take all of their attacks head on. Every pirate swung their weapons at her. Slices from above, stabs, swinging of swords from the left and right. Over and over and over again she stood there and watched them trying to cause her harm until they all backed away.

[Skill: Flame Body (Passive): Active]

Each and every attack from their weapons melted on impact as Evelyn stood still. She was now beaming with excitement. "I'm more of a brawler, boys. Now that this is a fair fight, face me like men and fight with your fists."

[Pirates Killed: 25/25]

[Mission: Kill Daisy Pirate Crewmembers Completed]

[Reward]

An interface showed up that read 'inventory'. "What's this?"

 "You're loot," Freya said cheerfully. "This is called the inventory. It's a way for you to carry items without actually carrying them. Certain people and beast drop items and depending on the item will be transferred to your inventory."

 Evelyn looked at the interface and noticed five slots were filled.

[Flask of Rum]

[Pouch of coin (7)]

[Lockpick (3)]

[Pamphlet: Rodney's on Sharsen! The Sea's Greatest Burrito Palace!]

[Wanted Poster: Evelyn Black]

"Well look at that! Click on the coin in your inventory!" Freya said. She did so.

[Coins tally: +12, +4, +2, +15, +5, +8, +1 = +42 coin]

"Woah! Ain't that gre-"

[Point results: 375. Reward: +75 coin]

[Coin: 117]

"That's right! I forgot about that! But look! You're rich!" Freya laughed.

 "Right? A pirate with money," She looked around at the shops that were not technically destroyed. "I should go on a shopping spree," She said with complete sarcasm in her tone. She looked back at the monster who was still in disarray from the smoke of the cannon fire but still in a lot of health.

"Hurry! Get him on the table!" Taco instructed Kanaka and Jackson as they laid Wasabi on table of the infirmary attached to Taco's room on the ship. Like any other hospital, the room was completely white.

 "I feel like shit," Wasabi moaned.

 "Shut up you oaf! That monster cracked four of your ribs and I'm going to need to go in and fix them or else they'll puncture your lungs and die!" Taco said looking through his supplies.

 "You good here?" Kanaka asked.

 "Yes, go help captain!" Taco demanded.

 "No! Don't leave me here!" Wasabi called out.

 Angry, "didn't I already tell you to shut up!"

 "Come on Doc! You know I hate needles!" Wasabi cried out.

 "Then learn to dodge better!" And Taco jabbed a needle into his arm and Wasabi passed out. "I swear," he said. He then strapped Wasabi securely to the table, grabbed a knife and carefully sliced down the center of Wasabi's chest.

On top of the wall of Waterworld, Captain Goob and Captain Flora were in a heated battle of captains.

 "You're not some glorified Sea Beast Hunter Flora! You're a damn Snake!" Goob cursed at her parrying a stab from her trident.

 "I'm a pirate! Why would I fight fair?" Flora laughed as she rebounded an attempt to stab Goob with every block he deflected. Another boom from the cannon from her ship hit the monster again. "Just look! There isn't much that monster can take before it goes down! Yet you're here unable to stop us as a lot of my crew is down on the ground attacking your crew!"

 "You bitch!" Goob yelled out going on the offensive.

 They clashed tridents swinging from the left and right. Interlocking the spokes and parrying blows. It was constant with neither captain letting up on power. The fight got more intense as crystals from Goob's staff and wood chippings from Flora's staff would touch with such power from clashing together that they would ignite around them.

 They then began to integrate their powers the longer the fight went on. Goob would use his power to push around his gravity in positions that Goob thought she wouldn't be able to dodge in as well as casting crystals from the ground trying to pierce her.

 Flora's power was different. A power like Kanaka's that seemed like it would only be useful on land. She was able to cast plants and control them to her will or give them life. She summoned two tree's and they started to charge at Goob and his only way to avoid them was to use his crystals to push them off the wall.

 "I must admit," Flora said while he was breathing heaving, hair wet from the sweat, face gleaming. She takes off her Captain's jacket, throws her hair back and ties it into a ponytail. She then takes her shirt off and it only in a green swimsuit top. "I'm really impressed by this battle. I'm really getting turn on by how good you are with that trident of yours." He tone was now seductive instead of hostile.

 Captain Goob started blushing when she was undressing and in her state now, was gawking at her and couldn't speak.

 Fawn landed on the wall in front of Goob and with a fan crafted by crystals, swung it and slapped her cousin across the face. "You know, maybe fighting a woman isn't your strong suit if you're so oblivious to not see her casting aroma gases around your feet."

 Goob looks around Flora so see the gas Fawn was talking about, "Shit."

 "That was really not nice. I have too many men with too many close relations on my crew so when I meet a man without any history to me, I just want to get my rocks off," Flora said. "You honey, are ruining my fun. What are you even to him. Is this your wife Captain Goob?"

 "Worse," he laughed. "She's my overprotective cousin."

 "I see," Flora smiled. "Then do you want to take me on?"

 "As much as I want to, no," Fawn responded. "I'm no match against a Captains Trident."

 Goob, who was now not paying attention was standing at the edge of the wall saying, "How the hell did you even get up here," And saw Bobo on the ground next to Laylee with a catapult Bobo mush have summoned.

 Then saw Evelyn on the other side of the beach from them with a large number of what looked like dead people around her, she was summoning a large fireball. He looked at The beast who was shrouded by cannon fire and gunpowder. He looks back at Evelyn whose fireball was getting larger. He then looked back at the sea beast. Then his eyes got wide as he was looking back and forth between the two until he yelled, "HOLY SHIT!" He grabbed Fawn and threw her over his shoulder completely and did a swan dive off the side of the wall into the water below.

 "Did he seriously just run off like that," Flora laughed. Once she turned to the beast, she saw why he had jumped. Evelyn's large fireball was hurling at the sea beast and once it contacted the gunpowder swirling around it, it ignited into an explosion.

"That was beautiful," Evelyn smiled as the notification popped up.

[Yo-La-Lu Wrath Passive Level 4 has activated]

[10% HP reached. Attack power and Speed doubles. Defense down 5%]

The smoke around Yo-La-Lu disappeared and Evelyn could see that from the explosion, The Cannon off the front of the Daisy's ship was now unusable. Or rather, gone. The beast rose up staring at Evelyn and lunged. Evelyn ducked out of the way until she realized that Evelyn was not its target. It started feasting on the dead Daisy crewmembers that were around her.

 "I'm not thinking you should have hosted those pirates to ash," Freya said.

 "That would have been overkill," Evelyn said.

 "Right. No, this is overkill," Freya said.

 Evelyn was looking at Yo-La-Lu's HP bar that was now at 25% again. "No," she said. Does that mean she reverts back to being less weak and strong and again at 10%?"

[Yo-La-Lu's HP recovered. Wrath stackable skill has gained an additional stockpile when reaching 10% HP again]

Evelyn just stares at the message, "Shit."
