Black Sail

As the magic energy devices ceased their deep roar, the mist swirling around the ship was occasionally swept away by the sea breeze.

And then, the deity within the ship, shaped like a shuttle with hundreds of elegantly arrayed sails, was revealed.

The Sea God had stopped three sea miles away from Heaven Port, at Anchor Bay. The array of sails was retracted like a white rose folding in reverse. Accompanied by the clanking and screeching of machinery, eight gigantic anchors, each weighing hundreds of tons, sank into the sea through alchemically forged chains from both sides of the ship, halting the massive vessel, stirring up huge waves, and creating a fearsome spectacle.

Both the outer and inner cities of Heaven Port were attracted by this tsunami-like disturbance. Everyone went up to the rooftops or looked through the windows to observe the commotion at the dock, all deeply moved by this extraordinary sight.

Because of the recent political situation, many on the island had already fled to Iron Soul Island to seek refuge, knowing that a great battle was imminent. However, a small portion of stubborn people remained. Besides the port, more than ninety percent of Heaven Port’s island was undeveloped jungle with no value. When the time came, they could simply hide there.

But now, facing a battle of this scale, even the stubborn ones couldn’t resist the fear of being caught in the aftermath. They immediately gathered dry food, belongings, and wealth, and fled to the woods to hide.

At the very front of the Sea God’s hull.

The Black Sail crew was all there, except for Liszt.

"Damn it, I don’t know how to lose!"

Rein could already imagine his life in the castle with pools of wine and a thousand Furry maidens attending to him, his left arm fitted with a temporary iron hook.

Ox stood at the ready, waiting for Liszt to come out and give orders.
