[This right here is a short chap lads. The next one will be the final chapter in this volume. The final one will be plenty long so don't be too disappointed if it takes a few days to finish.
My regards.

The time slowed down, Mizuki teleported her entire ship and crew along with Hinami's a few hundred meters away.
She then resumed the natural flow of time and activated her spells that were both in the sky and below the ocean.
Lightning struck down as wind flowed. Waves crashed as the sky turned dark above the ships.
Spears of light passed through the dark, not lighting anything up. It looked like a laser tag warzone.
Ice chains erupted from below as they grabbed onto ships and whirlpools spun them around, disorientating the crew on board.
It started raining spikes of earth and stone as the sails were all torn apart by fire and wind.
Mizuki did not stop there.
Aiming her hand precisely, she spoke.
"Start shooting."
She cut horizontally, aiming for the strong ones. A tear ripped through space as many people lost their heads along with one Pirate Lord who had less than enough Agility and Defence.
7 remained.
Listening as cannons started shooting around her and cursed lightning orbs made their way towards the ships, Mizuki did something out of habit that she has not done in a good while.
The spell on her soul shook a little.
She took a pair of headphones and started listening to music.
'Habits die hard. This doesn't seem like the situation for any rock, funk or retro. Let's go with classic.'
Mizuki unleashed her aura as she stretched.
She teleported above the ships and threw down hundreds of daggers with her Rapier in hand.
Every dagger hit a surface.
Most of that surface was the wooden and metal boats while some were at the bottom of the ocean.
Mizuki snapped her fingers as pillars of fire and strikes of lightning descended on the daggers and everyone in their vicinity. The daggers in the water shot ice spears up and electrified the water in the surroundings.
The lightning daggers on the boats had constant electricity zapping from them to everyone in a 20-meter radius.
The fire daggers just had a big pillar of fire with a diameter of 2 meters.
The ice spears were as big as the masts holding the tattered sails.
Mizuki landed on a boat and started decapitating people left and right.
Two more Pirate Lords died during this.
One to the chaos and sudden barrage of spells and another to the thrown daggers.
'They were not going to take my side anyway.' Mizuki thought as she decapitated another mercenary.
Running through the crowd, Mizuki changed the length of her Rapier the moment it closed in on an enemy. Even if it seemed like you dodged, you didn't.
Cutting a mercenary horizontally in half, Mizuki jumped and used her upper body as a throwing item.
The upper body flew into a nearby ship and exploded in fire, it had a dagger in it.
Jumping again, Mizuki vaulted over a mercenary and used his head to propel herself forward. The moment Mizuki vaulted over the man using her free right hand, she suddenly jerked her hand and turned the man's head a full 160 degrees.
Noticing the surprising number of level-ups, Mizuki didn't have the time to check it all out as she dumped every stat into Dexterity and Agility.
Running past and killing a few more mercenaries, no one realizes that the loading was done. Mostly.
