The battle could only be described as vicious as all those in the bridge room were ability users the attacks they unleashed were extremely destructive though there was no battle which could be as destructive as that of the two Captains ; Miller & Flapjack.
Unlike Flapjack's ability which was elemental in nature Captain Miller's was a physique type ability . Though these abilities are termed so there is a basis .
You see , as abilities come in all types and forms with some even bearing a resemblance to one another with only minor differences ,it became difficult to get a handle on exactly what each should be categorized for proper identification.
The early generation of ability users were able to solve this issue by sharing different abilities into three categories based on a set of general observations.
These three categories we're the elemental type abilities, the physique types and the special abilities .
The elementals just like their name suggested consisted of abilities resembling the forces of nature like lightning ,wind ,water and so on .
The physique types mainly consisted of abilities that changed a person's body on the genetic level giving them powers such as enhanced strength , intelligence and a whole lot more .
The special type abilities were just as their name implied ; they were special .
There was this veil of mystery which surrounded then as they always defied common sense . They were the least understood of all the ability categories .
Captain Flapjack's ability was called the Void devour flame famed for it's intense penetrative power , at it's peak form it was said to be able to pierce holes in the fabric of spacetime !
Captain Miller's ability on the other hand was called the Raging Titan as it transformed his body into a real titan whose strength grew exponentially with how angry he was , albeit not as huge as the titans of legends he still possessed strength reminiscent of one.At his full application of the ability he could reach a staggering height of more than five meters , taller than even Flapjack !
Since both ability users were powerful in their own right with both their talents being at peak transcendent grade , Captain Miller was being trashed by Flapjack like a helpless baby .
This was not due to Flapjack's ability being better than that of Miller's rather it was the result of a difference in their respective tiers .
While Flapjack was at the peak of the Journeyman realm, Captain Miller was only at the high tier of the Journeyman realm.
Though it might seem like there was not much of a difference between both tiers high and peak , just one tier you might say but that difference could define the outcome of a battle as it was an insurmountable gap .
For Captain Miller to be able to hold on till now was a testament to his talent and resilience , however he was already showing signs of weariness due how intensive their battle was .
One fatal slipup and he could risk losing to Captain Flapjack , and that fatal mistake came sooner than he expected .
He was originally aiming a punch at Flapjack's right chest due to an opening he found in Flapjack's attacks, however it was a feint and he fell for it.
Merely twisting his body with a grace that did not befit his hulking physique , Flapjack rammed his elbows right into Miller's head . Either he was reserving his strength for this moment or he simply erupted with greater power the force of this blow actually threw Miller away violently colliding against the metallic wall , unable to stand up he could only look as Flapjack walked up to him .
He wanted to stand up only to discover that his strength was leaving him . Flapjack's attack just now was no ordinary one as it employed the destructive powers of the Void devour flame causing a rampage in his organs .
At this point the other battles were already rounding up with a lot of casualties on the Happy Movers side .
Stepping on Captain Miller's chest with his huge metallic boots he stared at him before bursting into a manical laughter which was soon followed by those of his men .
" Huah ahah ahah , poor poor Miller you were given a toast but you decided to forfeit it , it a pity cause I would have loved to sell you as a slave but your desire for revenge would not allow that ."
" Your days are numbered you scum.
The CMA will eventually exterminate you and your kind . The only regret I have is that I won't be alive by then . "
" Then I have to make your regret a reality , men slaughter them all ."
All those wounded that remained had eyes of despair as the pirates raised their sabers and daggers to kill , Captain Miller unable to watch how they died and how he died closed his eyes when all of a sudden he heard a sharp whirr and the sound of objects thudding on the floor furthermore he was not dead yet.
" Is it the reinforcements I called for , were saved !"
With a hint of hope in his heart he opened his eyes only to see the headless bodies of all the pirates toppling on the floor . There was no spurt or spray of blood as the neck stump was already cauterized from what seemed to be a laser beam . He was so shocked that his mouth was wide open so much that it was probably big enough to fit a whole goose egg .
This kind of horrifying attack could only come from an ability user a powerful one at that. With joy in his heart he anticipated the entrance of the ability user when a boy that looked no more than sixteen or seventeen entered the room .
Wait ,wait ,wait ,this can not be the reinforcements he was expecting right as this was ridiculous. That attack just now he was probably sure that it was already bordering on peak Journeyman realm, this brat that was still wet behind the ears he refused to believe launched that attack .
The same thought was playing out in Flapjack's head as that beam was sufficient to threaten him , he was tense and on the look out for the hidden expert but there was no one except this brat . Thinking to himself, he definitely was not the one that attacked just now right as there was no origin energy fluctuations emanating from him . He was still musing in his head when the youth spoke.
Obviously the youth was precisely Dongfan Yue . After leaving the hall where he killed the pirate that was pursuing him he carefully toured the ship cleverly ambushing and exterminating any pirate he saw , if he were to count he probably slayed over twenty something -ish pirates which was nearly half the men of the Floating Lily pirates . Eventually he found himself at the bridge room where thankfully he was right on time .
Using the eye laser ability that he derived from that first pirate he launched one of the strongest beams since he got the ability killing nearly all the pirates in one fell swoop as they coincidentally were standing in a straight line .
"Oh ,I missed one ."
Looking at the last pirate that escaped the fate of having his head vaporized by the laser beam he attacked once more killing the poor guy .
"Sorry , I came late I had to deal with those pesky pirates on the way ."
" Yo , big man with the beard I presume that you must be Flapjack ,nice meeting you , am Dongfan Yue and am here to err catch you . Surrender now and await punishment from the CEA for the crimes you have committed ."
Flapjack ,Miller & every other person :⊙.☉
Silence ,and then Flapjack erupted out of anger .
" Good punk , trying to be brave in front of me ? I don't care who you are but I definitely will kill you ." Honestly speaking he was a little afraid of Dongfan Yue as he gave him a dangerous feeling , however as a vicious pirate he and danger have always tangoed with each other . Kicking Miller to the side he stared at Dongfan Yue while roaring ; "INFERNAL DEVASTATION!!!" A gigantic fire axe manifested and made its way towards Dongfan Yue,it's momentum imposing .
This was his strongest skill which he was extremely proud of , it was a sure kill skill as not even ashes would be left behind from his corpse .
" Cubey are you deri ..."
" On it already bro Dongfan."
" Okay time to finish this , I just hope the bounty on him still counts if evev if he's dead. " Was his thoughts as he closed his eyes .
If Flapjack heard him he would probably die out of anger , despite facing his strongest attack this brat still had time to muse about the bounty in his head ? This was simply infuriating .
Seeing him close his eyes like someone giving up , Flapjack was extremely elated only to feel all the hairs on his body rise up : a foreboding of danger . Right then Dongfan Yue abruptly snapped his eyes open releasing a dazzling crystal blue colored laser beam which silently destroyed Flapjack's attack and continued towards him .
This beam was so beautiful you would wish to freeze it in time as a work of art this however was from the perspective of the observers .
However Flapjack who was the receiver of the attack felt that if that blue beam touched him he would definitely DIE ! Calling upon all his strength he tried to move out of the beam's way , but how could you dodge a beam of light ? Maybe those ability users with a speed ability or those of the light element could ,he could not . He could only watch as the beam tore through his chest before finally disappearing .
Looking at Dongfan Yue one last time he fell face first on the cold metallic floor , he would never have expected that he would die on this particular raid and from a young boy at that ? He felt unresigned but he was already in the cold embrace of death .
Falling on his bottom Dongfan Yue heaved a sigh of relief .
Looking around the battered control room everyone was staring at him like a monster.
