Chapter 6 - When the clouds turn dark

The Megalodon is the largest ship ever constructed and the pride of the Sharkolas. It is armed with 200 cannons on each side and has one large cannon in the front.

The Megalodon serves as the mothership for the entire Sharkolas army because it is both a large battleship and a large carrier, there's a door in the back of Megalodon where they fit their battleships, the area is so big it can carry 100 battleships, since Megalodon is so enormous, strong, and resilient, it must be a really innovative ship.

I never heard about the Megalodon after war the with Sharkolas ended, i thought Erelia Empire destroyed it or sold it, there's also some rumors that Erelia are planning to claim it as a reward for saving the world from the Sharkolas invasion, i've never thought to see this ship in this place.

I found the ship when i was just paddling in the early morning, Acacia is still sleeping after practicing hard to learn how to use Lightning Spells.

I couldn't see it clearly at first due to the dense fog, i thought it was just a big mountain, but you can never deceive a pirate's eyes, so when I realized it looked like a ship, my eyes widened as if I were seeing one of my dead rivals

I then quickly wake up Acacia, and asks her to use "Sunshine"

After the glowing ball from the sunshine spell exploded, i see it clearly, the Megalodon herself.

"That's the ship old man" Acacia said while pointing at the Megalodon

"What!" I exclaimed

I can't believe it, why this ship was here? did Erelia dispose of it? did someone stole it? or was Sharkolas managed to save their glorious ship? I got so many questions on my head, cause if the other countries find out that the Megalodon is actually in the Erelia empire hands, another war might break out again.

I don't want that; a lot of people have already died in the Sharkolas Invasion, which is what made me decide to cease being a pirate and which caused me to become more aware of the world.

When the Sharkolas Invasion was over, I first saw the faces of the dead soldiers' families. It was heartbreaking to see their tears and cries, but one of the kid that crying on the port, looked out at the calm sea and yelled, "I will never forgive whoever did this to brother!!" I then asked myself, "Will I get forgiveness?" but my arrogant heart didn't care enough to answer it, until i saw her.

She is the wife of one of my pirate pals, who I betrayed in exchange for the gold-filled treasure box that we discovered. I stabbed him in the back and left him to fester in the water, and i don't feel any regret after that.

But not her—she is aware that I killed his wife, and when she spotted me, she rushed over and tried to choke me before shouting at me, "Why! Why! WHY!"

I can't speak, and it's not because of her trying to holding me, it's mostly because of all the memories coming back in my head, that i choose to forget, "Why did i choose to forgot it?" I asked myself.

She then look at me with tears in her eyes and said "Why you killed him?"

And that's when I realized that the real reason I killed him was because he was an abusive husband who liked to beat his wife for no reason at all.

When I tried to stop him, he asked me to leave them alone, so I did.

But later, I ran into her in a bar, and she thanked me for trying to stop him. We spoke for a short while, and during that time, i saw that she is actually quite attractive and kind, after that while sleeping, i can't stop thinking about her, she doesn't deserve what is happening in her life, i wanna save her and so i did, after killing him, i give her a letter saying her wife have gone missing and give her all the money on the treasure we found.

Upon remembering all of that, i said "Sorry" and told her why i killed him

"You don't need to kill him, Kyle" she said while clearing her eyes from the tears

"What do you mean?" I asked

"Not everything can be solved by violence" she replied

"It's the only thing i know!" I shouted at her

"That's not true, Kyle, I still remember that conversation we had at the bar. You tried to ease my problems by making me forget about everything that had happened in my life by engaging in lighthearted conversation, and I think it was the first time I had ever smiled, you know?"

She then pardons me for what I did, hands me a bag of cash, and flees. When I glance at the bag of cash, I can immediately see that it contains the exact amount of cash that I had written on the letter I had sent to the woman.

It made me happy, and then I realized that all the kind individuals I had met were the kind of people who truly deserved to be in this world, unlike people like me that never deserved to live in this kind world. As a result, I tried to commit suicide by jumping over a cliff.

Barry Falcusta, however, stopped me. I had planned to fight him and let him kill me, but Barry stopped me instead, and arrested me, put me in a prison, and then gives me a punishment.
