Chapter 481 Rotten Fish
pirate----
Upon hearing this word, Kathy paused for a moment.
Ah, yes, pirates.
Cathy had only ever encountered one group of pirates, but on that pirate ship, everyone was kind.
He spent a happy and unforgettable time on that ship.
In reality, most pirates were villains who killed countless people.
Looking back, if he hadn't been the navigator's son, would he have been killed too?
Kathy swallowed hard.
This is a dog-eat-dog world; if you're not a plunderer, you'll be a loser.
Cathy was robbed of her wealth, status, identity, and even the people she cherished.
He absolutely did not want to remain in this position.
However, he is unable to change this for the time being.
The pirate attack is now a disaster for Kathy.
The sailors on deck were in a panic, and the sails were deflected by the wind.
Meanwhile, a large brown ship was speeding towards them from the sea to the side.
A black skull and crossbones flag was flying directly above the ship.
Oops!
Kathy immediately rushed downstairs and looked up at Gus, who was standing bewildered in front of the railing, shouting, "Didn't you say that pirates had a pact with the government and wouldn't attack passing ships?"
"The agreement is only valid within certain sea areas," Gus said fearfully. "Peace does not extend to all seas—"
"Then run!" Casey shouted. "Don't stand there! Direct the ships to turn and get away!"
"I—" Gus's jaw trembled. "My men are all too panicked right now, and my ship is full of cargo. The storm just now has left the hold flooded. My ship is too cumbersome, while that's a speedboat!"
That's outrageous! "Since there's no escape, then fight! You should call on everyone to take up arms and fight!"
"I will also join the battle," the voice came from behind Cathy.
Turning around, Harriet was already beside him.
"Harriet? Are you feeling better?"
"We've already weathered the storm, haven't we—" Harriet said expressionlessly. "Mr. Gustav, we can fight too."
"But those are pirates, you understand? Ruthless pirates who kill without blinking an eye!" Gus spread his hands in fear. "My men are just ordinary sailors. Do you see that huge arrow? That's a pirate weapon. Do you really think I can defeat a ship with that?"
After saying that, Gus collapsed to the ground.
"Coward!" Casey shouted in her mind.
He knew he was weak, but he never admitted defeat.
Cathy has indeed encountered many dangers, but she has never bowed down to the enemy.
As Bekas once said, you should never show weakness unless you are putting the other party at ease.
Even if you're so terrified your heart is about to explode, you can't let anyone see the slightest hint of panic.
Kathy knew that this person was unreliable.
"It's okay, Casey," Harriet said again from behind, "Even if it's just me, I can definitely protect you."
Kathy turned around and looked up at Harriet.
Harriet looked serious, but Cassie could see the fear hidden in her eyes.
Cathy smiled and gently took Harriet's hand: "Don't be hard on yourself, Harriet. I don't need you to protect me."
"But----"
"It's okay," Casey shook her head. "After all, I'm the man. As long as you're by my side, I'm happy. So don't be impulsive, and don't do anything foolish."
This ship will be caught up with soon.
There are strong pirates, and Casey knows this better than anyone.
Harriet's power is not meant to harm people; Kathy has read the book "Life Never Ends."
Therefore, he understood that there were many people stronger than Harriet.
Harriet might not be able to defeat her opponent, and even Gus was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground; his men would certainly have no will to fight.
If they rashly resist, they will become the first to rebel and fall into an even more dangerous situation.
However, Harriet said, "But if necessary, I will still need to use your power."
"I'll listen to you, Cathy. Just give me your orders whenever you need them."
"Yes," Casey nodded with a smile.
Harriet is stronger than me, Casey thought, but she might not be able to assess the situation well.
Cathy led Harriet to hide below the cabin entrance, reducing the risk of injury and allowing them to have a clearer view of the situation above.
After a while, the ship jolted again.
To be more precise, it felt like being pulled from behind.
Kathy knew that the pirates had boarded the ship.
"Who is the octopus on this ship?" a voice came from the deck.
"I...I beg you, please don't kill me! Take whatever you want!"
Hearing Gus's pleas for mercy, Kathy peeked out slightly.
Dozens of grappling hooks were attached to the fenders and masts, and several pirates were sliding down the ropes. There were already more than twenty pirates standing on the deck.
Cathy turned her head back and whispered to Harriet, "There might be more than thirty enemies, Harriet. What do you think of our situation?"
After thinking for a moment, Harriet said, "There are also more than a dozen people on our ship, but they probably won't dare to resist. I don't have the confidence to deal with so many people at the same time. Besides, there is no soil on the ship, so I can't use the witchcraft I'm most familiar with. At least—I can't ensure your safety."
Am I still a burden in the end? Cathy thought with some frustration.
"Ugh————"
Kathy sighed, then shook her head with a smile.
"So, what if I told you to just let them do it?"
"I—I'm not entirely confident of winning either, I'm sorry, Casey."
At least Harriet is calm now, and Cassie looks at Harriet calmly.
In that case, let's wait and see how things develop for now.
Kathy looked up and continued to observe the situation above.
"Perhaps other pirates will choose to let you go. In fact, Governor Cyril talked to us about long-term vision, saying that we should leave a few fish to escape so that we can have another good harvest next year. But what does that have to do with me?"
"No, no—ah!"
Then came screams.
Kathy's heart pounded like a deer's—those people were going to slaughter everyone!
He finally understood why, before meeting Henry, his impression of pirates was so terrible.
Ha! Pirates are truly scum!
As Casey was pondering, she suddenly felt her eyes being dazzled.
Looking up, he saw a curved blade reflecting sunlight into his eyes.
The man holding the knife revealed a greedy smile.
Kathy didn't dare to move for a moment.
Just then, a tall figure blocked Cassie's path.
"Harriet————"
"I'll hold them off, don't worry, Casey!"
Ah, Harriet is so reliable.
But Casey gritted her teeth, this is my fight!
"Move aside, Harriet."
"But----"
"Trust me," Casey said firmly.
Harriet didn't say anything more and stepped aside.
Kathy gripped the iron sword at her waist with one hand as she climbed upwards.
Just as he poked his head out, the knife came slashing down.
Kathy was prepared; she drew her sword and held it above her head.
Good weight!
The opponent's strength was too great; after the impact, the back of Cassie's blade injured his shoulder.
But that's all it is—it's just that it's a little stronger.
As expected, the pirates were just a rabble; they had not received any systematic training.
Kathy was indeed very weak, especially when he was a boy.
However, he was taught by the world's most powerful knight, and despite his poor talent, he still knew some basic swordsmanship.
He has grown a lot in the past two years and is much stronger.
That's why Kathy dared to take the risk and climb out of the cabin.
He was confident that he could at least withstand one blow.
"Hmph! Not bad, ha, of course it's your sword that's good!"
Cathy ignored him and immediately climbed onto the deck, Harriet following close behind.
Kathy looked around and then found the person who most resembled the leader.
So he yelled at it, "Are you an octopus?"
Upon hearing this, the pirate next to him stretched out his knife: "Shut up, you piece of trash."
Harriet raised her hands, and Cathy whispered "Calm down," then shouted, "I'm too cowardly to talk to a shrimp. When a tsunami hits a ship, I can only hide underwater like an octopus. That's really cowardly."
The person Kathy was staring at narrowed their eyes.
The pirate next to Casey angrily brandished his sword, shouting, "You're asking for death!"
"Wait!" shouted the octopus-like figure.
Then, the person slowly approached.
"Kid, don't think you can talk back to me just because you know a few words of Hai language."
Kathy calmly replied, "You'd be better off letting me live than killing me."
"What do you mean?"
"Your boss is Cyril, isn't he? He's an acquaintance of mine. Take me to see him, and you'll be rewarded."
"ha!"
The other man laughed, spreading his hands and scanning the other pirates on deck. "Do you think I'm stupid? You think you can get away with just giving me a name? Clever tricks won't save you, kid. You just overheard our conversation, hahaha—"
"Hahaha—" The other pirates echoed with laughter.
Kathy then said, "Cyril, the lookout."
Upon hearing this, the octopus's smile vanished abruptly.
Kathy continued, "I also know Benson, the talkative Benson."
"You're saying the traitor is being nosy?"
Hmm? Casey frowned. A traitor?
The octopus continued, "Why don't you just say you know the Navigator?"
“I do know the Navigator,” Casey said, “and Cyril had a voyage with the Navigator.”
Upon hearing this, the octopus's mocking expression vanished instantly.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Who exactly are you?"
What am I? Cathy felt she had heard this question many times, but—perhaps this was her chance to answer it.
After a moment's thought, Casey gave her answer: "Cyril is my master; he taught me archery. Now do you understand? You can't kill me, or Cyril will kill you."
"Ha! I killed you, and he won't even know."
"He knows I'm going to see him, and if he can't see me, he'll definitely investigate. Since you're his subordinate, you should have reported his movements to him, right? Are you sure he won't find out?"
The octopus stopped talking, but stared at Cathy with a fierce and cold gaze.
Cathy suddenly felt like laughing, and it took a lot of effort to stop the corners of her mouth from turning up too high.
He knew he had already won.
He took a few steps forward and brought his face close to the other person's, their noses almost touching.
At such close range, the other person's gaze was exceptionally sharp, but Cathy showed no sign of backing down: "So, little octopus, you have no choice but to obey this rotten fish!"
