A bird made up of blue lines was flying through the black night.
Its speed was incredibly fast, like a ray of light; with its faintly glowing lines, even if one noticed it in this pitch-black sea, it would be gone in a flash.
It had been gliding horizontally through the sky, when it suddenly dove downward.
At this very moment, on the pitch-dark surface of the sea below—
An exceptionally long and slender vessel was cutting through the waves, the calm water on each side splashing out as if slashed by a blade.
The whole ship was moving at a remarkable speed, clearly faster than the ordinary sailboats out at sea.
Perhaps it had something to do with the ship's appearance.
This narrow pirate ship was barely over 20 meters in length, with a width of only a few meters.
The ratio of length to width was clearly outside the normal range.
The slender hull carried three lofty masts, all rigged with horizontal sails.
