Once Carrot discovered signs of life nearby, her arms and back stretched backward for a moment before being brought forward with a large amount of force.
Her arms swung around from behind her back towards her front until her two hands clapped together.
Carrot was facing towards the fire that had spread out on some parts of the wreckage that was the remains of the ship, the force and wind pressure produced by that single powerful clap had reached the fire before blowing a lot of it out.
She repeated the same movement until all the remaining embers had gone out and there was no longer any danger. "Phew. All done but.. why is everyone down there?"
There was nobody that was on the deck of the ship and those that had already died had either been left to float in the sea or had sunk to the bottom of it.
Carrot looked around until she found the location to access the lower part of the ship then climbed down.
It was very poorly lit and there were several scents within that she had picked up on but many among them had a strong scent of blood.
"Cough..cough cough.."
"Agh.."
"Help.."
There were additional noises that came from further in which showed that there were still those that remained alive.
Her hand pushed at a door to open it but it seemed to be stuck so Carrot waved her claw towards it all of a sudden which resulted in it being cut in several places in a single moment.
The door had lost its support and its solid state so a single push from her had caused most of it to suddenly fall apart.
Carrot stepped inside and saw many people cowered together inside or they were too weak and injured to move. "Come on everyone. It is safe now. Help those get out of here if you have the strength to do so."
Not everyone was all that visible due to the poor lighting in the room but several figures within had started to move upon hearing the words of Carrot.
"Thank.."
"We will live.."
"They really sent help.."
"We are saved."
"Cough.. cough cough."
It took a little effort for everyone to work together but they had all reached the deck of the ship where they saw the sight of the MMA off in the distance and Carrot who was in front of them.
"Sigh.. it is finally over.."
Carrot knit her brows and asked. "What happened here?"
"So it was like this.."
They all went on to explain that they were all transporting important goods according to the request and that they had encountered a large attack from many ships.
Each of them had no flag and did not state their origin but each of them had been very organised like they had been well prepared and planned for the attack on the ship.
There were those that tried to put up a fight against them but they had been defeated while those that lived had been trapped with everyone else.
Everyone believed that they would die in that room, the attackers took someone from the room at times so there were some that had not returned while others returned injured.
Some of the people that were registered with the White Storm as mercenaries or adventurers had made enough contributions to be able to have their own Vivre Card made for them in times of danger so it would be easier to have a quicker response to save them.
There were some that had died so the Vivre Cards turned to nothing but ash, there were still some that remained alive among them so it was still possible to locate them more accurately.
Carrot put her hand on her chin thoughtfully and nodded. "Hmm.. we should.."
Just as she was about to come to a decision, there were suddenly several ships that appeared off in the distance in many directions.
They had just become slightly visible and seemed to be picking up speed as they closed in on the wreckage and the MMA.
"Its.. its not over.."
"No.."
"What bad luck.."
Meanwhile on the MMA, the pink haired robotic girl that was Val had looked off into the distance towards the many ships. "Hostile. Hostile. Many threats located. Prepare for battle!"
Her arm had suddenly started to move mechanically as the parts started to slot into place until a shield had taken form on it while a spear sword had appeared in her other hand.
A large Devil Ape that was sleeping had heard the sudden warning then rolled over to reach towards a large metallic bat before pulling itself up from the ground. "Ooooh!"
A scaly small creature with bat-like ears had showed a sinister smile as it cackled to itself with its head and arms raised to the sky. "Kakaka!"
A large snake that was curled up on a part of the ship had raised its body up as it untangled itself and looked even larger as it stretched out its body. "Hiss!"
