As the old man walked through the woods, he heard a sudden loud boom and felt the ground shake beneath his feet....
He turned to see a large plume of smoke rising into the sky, and he could feel the heat of the explosion on his face....
For a moment, he was frozen in shock, unable to comprehend what he was seeing...
He had heard the warning by kann, but the sight was more horrifying than he had ever imagined....
...
He turned to see the giant octopus thrashing about on the ground, smoke and debris rising up around it...
His vice captain had launched a green stone at the creature, hoping to take it down, but the old man couldn't believe what he was seeing. He had never seen anything like this before in his long life, and he was shocked to his core....
His jaw dropped open in horror as he watched the octopus writhe in agony, its tentacles flailing wildly...
The old man couldn't help but feel a deep sadness for the creature, even though it was supposed to be their enemy.
He stumbled backwards, feeling sick to his stomach, as his comrades whooped and cheered at their success.
"What have you done?"
he cried out. "This is madness!"
But they didn't seem to hear him...
The old man felt a sense of helplessness wash over him. He wished he could undo what had just happened, but he knew it was too late....
As he looked back at the octopus, he saw the creature barely able to survive, its once vibrant colors now dulled and lifeless...
The old man couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt and regret wash over him....
He knew that he would never be able to unsee the horror that he had just witnessed....
"This is not what we came here for,"
he said, his voice filled with sorrow.
"We came to explore the wonders of this forest, not to destroy them. What have we become?"
.
.
.
The Pirates gathered around the fallen beast, their bodies still trembling with the adrenaline of the battle....
They knew that they had just witnessed the full power of the Gatling gun, a weapon unlike any other....
But this new weapon was beyond their imagination.
As the sun set over the island, the sound of the Explosion was still echoing in the air,
the Pirates reflected on the sheer magnitude of the firepower they had unleashed.
They knew that they had just made history.
...
"Alright, i know that you want to get the treasure but get the medicine and bandage,
somebody, Go to the captain's cabin and get a box with a red plus sign on it.....We must save this octopus "
As soon as Kann said this, the three girls started tying bandages on the blood-soaked arms of the octopus, two people went to the ship to bring first aid box ....
Kann ignored the old man and the little girl who were still in shock and came close to the octopus and placed a hand on its head....
"As I said, if you survive, you will become our pet and if not, in you will go to our stomach...
Now don't think that if I wanted to make you our pet, then why didn't I make you a prisoner earlier, and why are you being made a pet in such condition.
It's just because I wanted a brave partner which you have just shown....so you are our official member now, and just don't lose hope, you will be better then ever."
On hearing this, the octopus shook its head lightly....
Seeing this, Kann smiled a little and only then the first aid box came, opening which Kann started giving the medicine to the octopus....
Although it was meant for humans, it is better than doing nothing....
"Fast...we need to act fast,
collect all the treasure and take our new member to the ship..."
Everyone nodded and went to work ....
In no time, they overboard with the treasure and the octopus...
"We need to reach the first island as soon as possible, Drop the sales and go full speed ahead..."
kann said this and three people started taking down the sails...
seeing this, the little girl were puzzled once again.
"Grandpa, why are they taking them off? If they want to go quickly, then they should put more sails on, shouldn't they? Then why are they taking them off"
Chloe asked...
"haha...Even if this ship starts flying, I will not be surprised anymore, although it is not possible but you understand right? I have neither heard nor seen what they have done till now. I'm starting to doubt my intelligence"
Chloe nodded,
Kann was listening to both of them from a distance and she could not help it.
she said..."Who said this ship won't be able to fly? hehe..just wait and see for yourself, and little Chloe, Everyone knows that our ship could run through the see without sails but they do not know how..
I am sure your old man also knows but he is in such a state of shock that he is not able to say anything."
"Tell me awesome lady, how is this ship going to sail?"
Chloe asked in a cute tone...
"Haha...we are using something called Engine.
that's all i can tell you, even our crew doesn't knew anything about it. it's forbidden and only me and the captain have information."
Hearing this, a look of dissatisfaction came on her face...
"Don't be sad...just watch and see"
and then the Blakk pearl left for its grand journey...
