Ian was chuckling to himself when a gunshot was heard, then three more followed in quick succession. Ian gave a sigh and said to the others," It looks like my time here is finished. I still have some old acquaintances i have to go see so, until we meet again you savages of the sea."
Ian got up and left in a flashy way just so everyone knew he was walking out of the room. He appeared in Hell's kitchen and was immediately surrounded by a squad of five female pirates. The brandished muskets at him and he raised his arms in surrender while smirking." Hey there Sindy, how's the left arm. Are you still operational with only half an arm oh great martial arts queen," Ian said holding back a laugh.
" You know god dan well I'm not," Sindy said raising a hook hand.
That was the tipping point since Ian broke into a laughter and laughed in her face with no constraint. Sindy could no longer hold it and shot at him but almost instantly, Ian's coat changed a light sky blue. A wall of wind stood in front of the bullet and it stopped instantly." If you came to attack me knowing full well I'm among the top three strongest pirate in the syndicate means you are nothing but a stall for time so I'm going to deal with you according to what you are worth," Ian said raising his saber.
The Saber said out loud," Get out of our way you useless fucks, we're going to be late for our engagement."
He dropped the blade and it sent a wave of air pressure at the squad and sent them flying through the wall. The barkeeper complained but Ian through at him a gold doubloon and said that that should cover it. The other crazy drinkers were just staring in awe and fear. Ian walked up to a table and grabbed a bottle of Spanish alcohol before walking out of the pub taking a big swig. Some of it drooled onto the side of his mouth so he wiped it with his coat sleeve. As soon as he stood there, a crowd was forming around him and that is when he noticed the scene he walked into. Before him stood Brill and John and apparently Pink was also there with her crew of female pirates." Hey slut, what are you doing to my crew?" asked Ian walking into the center of the battlefield.
" I'm here to take the lives of your first and second command, obviously," she announced proudly causing the crowd to murmur.
Ian vanished in a torrent of wind and reappeared behind Pink just to say," Now why the devil would you want to do that?"
This caused her to lose her composer for a second but Ian went back to where he originally stood and asked Brill without facing him," How many do you need?"
Brill looked confident and said that all he needed were two. No one understood what these two were talking about besides those two themselves. Ian smirked and complied to the second-in-command's request. His coat turned a deeper shade of blue, similar to the ocean, and water started to drip from his saber's edge. The water slowly came into being slowly building itself to form two identical forms of captain Ian. Brill then brandished his muskets and shot both the clones and they froze over. The clones creaked in movement for a second before raising there muskets at the foe. " My water clones need to be in my proximity to stay physical but with Brill's ice, the can at least use my muskets. Each is equivalent to a quarter of my full power but you should already know that since my wife told you that last thanksgiving, Marilda," said Ian with a grin.
She tried to shoot him but Brill shot her shot before proceeding to shoot her gun out of her hand." John, clear a path for me to the ship, we set sail in two minutes. Don't be late Brill," ordered Ian taking another swig of the alcohol.
Brill said," Aye captain."
Brill and the clones started a salvo of a shoot out there at the marketplace causing everyone to run helter-skelter in a panic. John started to put on a pair of bronze gauntlets with rubies on it. He punched the ground and a pathway was created with magma walls on either side. The crew was already on the Skull Diver. Ian got to the dock and met up with Salaah. The man is in utter despair but Ian felt pity for the man. He gave him a pouch of doubloons before climbing aboard his mighty vessel. He walked onto the helm where John was at the ready and shouted to all his men," SET SAIL FOR FINLAND YOU SEA SLUGS!"
" AYE CAPTAIN!" they shouted back before getting to it.
The sails were raised and the anchor pulled in. The ship left the dock but before it could get far, it started to snow. Then from the sky came Brill falling with a pile of snow. He landed with a chuckle with the rest of the crew before standing to greet the captain." Captain, I left our foe frozen in a block ice. That should keep them occupied for a while," Brill explained.
The ship started to sail north with an aim to avoid the English army while also avoiding their government. Not long after the god-slayer pirates left, the English forces arrived in metallic ships and from the leading ship came the lieutenant. His ship was the only one to dock and as soon as he got off, he questioned Salaah since English forces are not to set foot on Pirate Island." Hello old friend. I'm need of your assistance. I need to find a pirate by the name Ian and it seems i just missed him. Do you know where he is heading off to?" he asked.
Salaah was about to speak and say Ireland when he was literally stabbed in the back by Marilda. The old one asked her why she would do that as he lay on the ground bleeding to death. The lieutenant asked," What's a member of the syndicate doing here?"
" Come on, is that a way of speaking to your future sister-in-law. Remember, you only got your hands on captain Ian's wife because i sold her out," Marilda said as her eyes glew a bright pink followed by the lieutenant's eyes glowing the same color.
It was clear he was under her control. She ordered him to go around England through the south and pincer Ian before he enters deeper into English waters. He complied and got back onto his ship. Marilda then turned to face Salaah's dead corpse and had a moment of pure extasy. She even licked the blood that splattered onto her hand as if experiencing a sort of pleasure from it." I will get a chance to taste your blood brother. Just you wait," she said as Salaah's corpse stood back up.
Back on Ian's ship, the men were partying while the captain was in his quarters mapping their destination. Then a different commotion erupted outside his door that was not sea shanties. He decided to investigate and walked out of his quarters only to find a boy tied up and about to be executed by some random crewmate for the entertainment. It was clear as day that the boy before him was a stowaway from Pirate Island and even Brill confirmed that they found the boy in the lower deck. He was planning to hide in the engineer's quarters but it caused a loud enough commotion that Ian had to investigate. As soon as he saw captain Ian, he shouted," Father, help me!"
