In a few hours they would reach Sentora, and Marco was piloting the ship with calm, Alice had a spyglass and was looking around the sea, then she found something interesting, it was another ship, but it had a black flag with a skull over it.
Alice: Hey Marco.
Marco: Yes?
Alice: There is another ship that is coming towards us.
Marco raised an eyebrow before asking.
Marco: Describe it.
Alice: It is made entirely of wood, and it looks similar to us, except for that black flag with a skull drawn over it.
Marco got excited and said.
Marco: They're pirates, they want to steal from us!
Alice: Is that so? ...The pirates are all humans…
Marco: Who the hell cares if they are humans or monsters?! They are equal in front of my eyes, and if they want to attack us, we will fight back!
Marco turned the ship's wheel and moved towards the pirate ship, then Marco put an hand over the lever and pulled it even more, increasing the already fast speed of the ship.
Marco: Alice, hold your ground! We will smash them flat!
*Ding*
*Special Quest: Destroy the pirate ship*
Alice realized what he meant and panicked.
Alice: Wait a minute! We can't just go against them, our ship would be destroyed too!
Marco: Alice, dear Alice… I put the metal armor over the ship for a reason, and this is the reason… Now, let me have fun…
[Meanwhile]
In the pirate ship, there was a woman with a long black coat and red short hair, she looked around 30 and 35, and was grinning towards the strange ship that was going towards them.
Captain: Hahaha! They want to fight us… Well, girls, turn the ship and show them the cannons!
Crew: Aye, Ma'am!
This pirate woman was a great fan of the Captain Selene, and she once dreamed to be a pirate too, she grouped together other fans and beaten all of them, becoming the captain.
They seen a strange ship, which seemed covered in metal, that was going towards Sentora, they didn't knew that Marco used metal to build that ship, because they thought that it would make the ship too heavy.
Their ship turned to its side and shown the cannons, meanwhile they saw a red light coming from the ship, they didn't knew what it was, so they checked it and found a man piloting the ship surrounded in an aura which created 1 tail, which slowly became 2.
The captain smirked thinking that they would gain more money, and slowly got at the board of the ship to yell.
Captain: SHITSTAINS, GET HERE AND GIVE US ALL YOUR TREASURES, OR WE WILL SHOOT YOU!!
The captain, when she finished to talk, she turned towards her crew, giving her back to Marco and Alice.
Captain: Do you see it, girls? Maybe one day you will become captains of your crew too, and you need to be intimidating like me.
Everyone looked at her in admiration, while a girl from the crew looked with a hint of fear and raised her hand.
Sailor: Captain!
Captain: Yeah?
The sailor pointed at her back, and said.
Sailor: Look!!
The captain turned her head towards Marco's ship, and was fulfilled with fear.
Captain: OH FUCK!
Then the captain immediately runned towards the ship's wheel while saying…
Captain: No no no no no… NO!
The captain thought that they could get away, because Marco's ship was not decelerating, instead, it was going even faster against them, but before she could talk, the ship increased speed even more, and heard a yell.
[BMG Naruto Shippuden- 4th Hokage]
Marco: HELLO MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!
Alice: Kyaaaaaaa!!!
*Crash*
Marco's ship penetrated the captain's ship, and it was still ok thanks to the metal armor protecting his ship.
Captain: CHILL DOWN!! CHILL DOWN DUDE!!
Crew: He's fucking insane!/ ILLIAS HELP US!!!/ I don't wanna die like this!/ Why did I follow her?! I could just sell sandwiches!/ Kyaaaaa!/ OH GOD NO!!/ MY RIBS ARE BROKEN!!!
Marco: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
Marco developed his third tail and his aura increased even more, then he started to smash everything with his tails, making holes everywhere in the captain's ship.
No one from the other side could make any sound due to seeing the disaster they brought themselves, they were feared around Illias Continent, each one of those sailors could fight a monster themselves, they were so near to become like Captain Selene…
And now a random Psychopath is literally piloting his ship INSIDE theirs, he took the word 'R*pe' and took it to another level. Now they were sinking, and everyone was screaming like crazy, even Alice in the Psychopath's ship, feeling fear for Marco's definition of 'Fun'.
Marco's ship didn't have a scratch thanks to his metal armor, and his aura disappeared, then he started to leave away from the sinking ship and turned once again towards Sentora.
And from this moment on, no one would know what happened to the feared captain and her crew.
*Ding*
*Special Quest[Successful]: Destroy the pirate ship*
Meanwhile, Marco was laughing while slowing the ship to a normal speed, and Alice, who calmed herself, turned towards Marco with an angry face.
Alice: Are you fucking... CRAZY?! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY SHOT US?!
Marco: Don't worry, everything was under my plans…
Alice: PLANS MY ASS!!!
Marco was laughing while Alice was getting more pissed off.
[Later]
Marco and Alice finally reached Port Natalia, and Alice was kissing the ground while disguising herself in human form, she was even letting out some tears of joy.
Alice: Finally I'm back in the ground… I've never missed you so much…
Marco: Oh, c'mon… It wasn't that bad…
Alice glared at Marco, and slowly said.
Alice: We will see who will feel bad when we will reach the inn…
Marco felt a shiver in his back, he took deep breaths and just said.
Marco: Alright… Let's go look around…
Alice stood up and cleaned her lips, then she followed Marco in Port Natalia, it was a city beside the sea, and even if it was the most near to Illias Continent, it was populated from both humans and mermaids, it seemed that other monsters are hated like in other places in Illias Continent.
The Mermaids could enter here thanks to a myth decades ago.
Alice: Hmm… Unlike Illiasport, this place is quite lively.
Marco: Well, people here didn't have the problem of the storms. And it seems that Mermaids are living around.
While they were walking, they were stopped from the voice of a mermaid who stood behind a stand, she had short blonde hair, brown eyes, and rugs as clothes, enough to cover her chest and waist, everything below the waist was a azure fish tail.
Mermaid: Would you like some Mermaid-made grilled starfish?
Marco: ...No.
Then Marco turned away, while Alice bought one, making the Mermaid happy, but when Alice ate it, she frowned and spit it on the ground, making the Mermaid sad.
Alice: This is really disgusting… Change immediately food…
The Mermaid slowly nodded and Alice walked back to Marco, who commented.
Marco: This is a really good town, except for the thing that permits only mermaids in the town…
Alice: By the way, where are we headed to now?
Marco: I would NOT like to go there, but we need to enter in San Ilia to the west…
Alice: Why?
Marco: That place is one with the most concentrated faith, even more than Illias Village… There will surely be statues of Illias or other things…
Alice frowned and asked.
Alice: And why should we go there?
Marco: First of all, I said that I would visit everywhere, and then I am interested on the knowledge in the library that is there.
Alice sighed.
Alice: Alright… If it's for that then it's ok… It's already a miracle finding someone who isn't interested in Illias like you, I hope you don't start to pray to her like a slave…
Marco smirked and turned towards her.
Marco: The day that will happen will be when Hell will freez-
Suddenly, he bumped against a mermaid, and both of them fell in the ground, Marco rose in his feet and recognized the mermaid. It was the same one who SHOULD give Luka a quest to pick a ring from the monster queen of the south, but he wasn't there anymore.
The mermaid was dressed in what it looked a semi-transparent blue dress, she had a lavender fish tail, and really light blue long hair, and for last, she had blue eyes.
Marco extended an arm towards her, and helped her getting up.
Mermaid: Thank you… I wanted to speak with you for a moment, could you listen to me?
Marco: Why not…?
Mermaid: You had a mysterious aura around yourself, and couldn't help to think that you weren't a normal person…
Marco: Mysterious aura?
Mermaid: Yes, we monsters could sense a bit about a person's aura, and even if yours is really small, it is still noticeable.
Marco glanced towards Alice, who kept her eyes closed. Then he turned back to the mermaid.
Marco: So, what's this about?
Mermaid: Oh right, I would like to ask you to-
*BOOM*
A large explosion interrupted her, and made a violent earthquake. Marco, Alice, the mermaid, and everyone else panicked a bit, but Marco stood calm knowing who created the explosion and where.
Everyone turned towards a building across the plaza that suddenly collapsed.
Mermaid: That building… Oh no, the Mermaid school!
Then she and the other mermaids ran towards the ruins of the building, it would be a funny scene if it wasn't for the possibility of the death of kids from the school that fell down.
Soon, the other people, Marco and Alice ran towards there too to check on the situation.
Civilians: What happened!?/ Isn't that the Mermaid school? What happened?!
Alice sniffed something and said to Marco.
Alice: I smell gunpowder… It seems like it was a bomb…
Marco: 'Now that I think about it… There are bombs, magic, gunpowder, but no one had the smart idea to make guns…' A bomb… Huh?
In the middle of the mess, in which, thanks god, no one died, Marco found another familiar figure, he was a tall man with pale skin, and long black and messy hair, he had even some facial hair, he looked like a beggar, but Marco already knew who he was.
Lazarus, the current leader of Illias Kreuz, a group which wants to exterminate every monster in the world, and the killer of his father, Marcellus, but Marco wasn't that angry to him.
He knew that it was accidental since he didn't knew that Marcellus' left eye wasn't working since the fight with the Monster Lord, and that Lazarus was regretting doing that even if he would hide it, but he wanted to give him at least a slap in his face…
*Ding*
*Special Quest: Slap Lazarus' face*
Alice noticed Marco's eyes concentrated on someone, and patted his shoulder, making him wake up and turn towards Alice.
Alice. What's wrong, Marco?
Marco: It's nothing… Just someone I know… Let's go, Alice, we need to find an inn…
Alice agreed to him, and eager to punish him with rape, so she followed him while grinning at what she could do to him when they reach their room while Marco's blood suddenly froze for a really bad feeling.
