Chapter 7 - Discovery

Shun stayed in his hut for a whole day without doing anything, just eating what he needed.

After settling some of his thoughts and emotions, he got ready and left his hut heading to the city, with only one goal, to find information.

Shun went to some clandestine places. After investigating these places, he didn't find many useful things.

The only useful information he got was that a couple of days ago, a shady deal was made between the Frause nobility and an unknown pirate group, but he knows absolutely nothing about this supposed deal, nor what it was about, which pirate group it was, or which noble.

While organizing the information he had, he was in a small-time bar, where many pirates and criminals gathered. Shun was dressed all in black, with a hood covering his face, for his short stature of 1.60 he looked very dwarf compared to the criminals and pirates here.

Although for his age he was taller than the average normal teenager, his body was still growing.

At a table not far from Shun, there were three men.

The first of the men had purple colored hair tied back in a short ponytail situated on the top of his head and had dark skin, the second has black colored hair with a disk style and a square face with a slightly large nose, and the third man has short orange colored hair parting to the sides, revealing his forehead and a rather pale skin tone.

They were chatting happily and you could tell they were drunk, so it was very easy to hear what they were talking about.

"Danny, I tell you following Captain Eldorrago we will get lots of gold and women hahaha" Said the orange-haired man as he laughed wildly at the purple-haired man who seems to be named Danny.

"Yes, Donny is right, we have to follow him, we could see it the other day, in the big deal he made with the Frauce nobility, if we follow him we will get rich" Said the black-haired man accompanying the argument of the orange haired man named Donny.

They seemed to be trying to convince this Danny guy to join the pirates of the Eldorrago capital.

Shun got to thinking and he never heard that name, he didn't know much about pirates either, but what caught his attention the most, was the part about the deal with the nobility a couple of days ago. So he decided to continue listening attentively.

"Alright fuckers, you convinced me HUASHUASHUAS" Said Danny laughing loudly and cheerfully, while he raised the glass of beer and toasted with his colleagues.

"Although Captain Eldorrago is very violent, he is still very strong, and just because of that I will follow him, he deserves our respect for his strength" Danny added, in his voice a certain fear of this Captain Eldorrago was noticeable.

"Yes, the captain is very violent, I still remember how he left those 3 brats while they were begging for mercy hahaha" Donny said while laughing and remembering this event.

"Hahaha those brats, they brought it on themselves, for listening to things they shouldn't have" The one with black disco hair joined the conversation.

"Yeah poor brats, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time" Donny added with an amused tone, seeming that such a situation was somewhat funny.

*Calm down...calm down...* Shun thought as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes to control his anger.

As Shun listened to this conversation, a fit of anger grew inside him, but he restrained himself, even though he wanted to gut them right here, he knew he couldn't, there were too many eyes, and besides they were 3 adult pirates against a pre-teen.

Shun waited a few hours until the 3 drunken pirates decided to leave the bar late at night. Shun followed them stealthily, unaware of their presence.

He could hunt wild beasts without them noticing his presence, so stealthily following 3 drunken pirates was a piece of cake.

Shun decided to kill two and leave one alone so he could interrogate him. Even though he was planning his first assassination, he didn't feel nervous, the only thing he felt was anger and hatred.

While the three pirates walked staggering and chanting, Shun took out his bone knife and prepared to attack waiting for the best moment.

Just as they reached a street that had little illumination, he decided to act. He moved stealthily like a cougar hunting its prey, the 3 pirates did not notice as they were chanting and Shun made as little noise as possible, as he approached their backs.

Shun's first target was the guy with the black hair color, as he was farther away from the other two, so he was easier to kill.

When he got behind his back, he quickly stabbed his Achilles tendons, which made him scream in pain and kneel without knowing what was going on.

"¡AAARGH! DAMN WHO DARES-"

Before he could continue cursing, he saw a knife go through his throat.

His last thoughts were who did it, and why?

Shun pulled the knife out of his throat and watched as the body fell stiffly, he felt no satisfaction, only an emptiness that would not be filled.

*The first one is done" Shun thought as he moved quickly.

This happened in a fraction of a second, and quickly Shun approached his next prey, Danny. Although they had a small amount of time to react, it was very short, besides they were very drunk and there was very little light.

Because of all this Danny could not stop Shun's attack.

Shun could see perfectly in the dark, thanks to his strange ability, he could see the silhouettes or auras so it is very easy to see his movements.

He jumped at Danny with all his strength and plunged the knife into his heart, killing him instantly. Shun fell to the ground along with Danny's body.

"W-who w-who are you cof...." Danny said with difficulty as he coughed up blood and slowly closed his eyes.

Shun stood up quickly and looked at Donny with his pale blue eyes, at the sight of such eyes this pirate felt a shiver all over his back.

Donny didn't know how to react, in one minute, this dwarf killed two of his friends if they can be called that, "Y-you know what pirate gang we belong to, brat...?" asked Donny in a trembling tone.

The answer didn't come and Donny was hit by a jab-style punch that gave him no time to defend himself and gave him a bloody nose. Although it was not that strong, it was very fast and accurate. Thanks to Shun's speed and the darkness this pirate could not react to the blow.

Shun followed with jabs, one from the right, one from the left, Donny couldn't defend himself, he didn't understand how this brat could see in this darkness.

What he didn't know was that Shun was using his strange ability to see Donny's silhouette or aura.

So it was easy to see the weak points in Donny's posture. Shun got tired of hitting Donny and pulled out his bone knife.

Donny was getting desperate because he couldn't attack, but when Shun pulled out the knife it gave him a chance to attack.

He gathered all his strength and threw the strongest punch of his life, as he knew if he missed he was likely to die.

"DIE DWARF!" he shouted furiously.

Shun could see the direction of the punch and with a quick and precise step to the side, he dodged it as if it was nothing.

Donny passed by Shun without being able to stop, Shun attacked him with the pommel of the knife, hitting him hard on his forehead.

PUM!

Donny fell straight to the ground in a pitiful state, what scared him the most was that this dwarf never said a word since he attacked them. He didn't even know why he was being attacked and who his attacker was.

Donny shouted very angrily as he was getting up from the ground.

"SNOTTY I'M GOING TO KILL YOU-"

Before he could get up completely and finish his sentence he received a knee to the head that broke his nose and knocked him unconscious.

"Is yelling the only thing you know how to do?" Shun said speaking for the first time.

After that he pulled a rope from his waist and tied Donny up, clearly showing that he was already prepared for this situation.

He took Donny to an alley to be safer and to be able to interrogate him calmly, then he slapped him several times and Donny woke up with a frightened expression on his face.
