The Black Pirates

CH. 22 – Battles in the Sea

The ship bearing a skull with a red flag was constantly sailing, the cruise was plastered full of calm, the gust of wind made Captain Lasha sit in the bow feel the air of the voyage.

Their voyage had far left the village of Anmala, now heading home to Muara Ujung Alsa Village.

They were in the middle of the sea, the atmosphere of the sea seemed lonely, Captain Lasha looked forward with binoculars, visible from the binoculars there was a large ship blocking their ship.

Captain Lasha stood up. “That ship, it doesn't seem to take sides. If they act, we'll finish them off!” He's making a firm voice.

“Ba–well, Captain!” answer all the men simultaneously. The ships are close to each other.

The ship that had been seen from the binoculars was covered with tiger fangs, wrapped in black cloth. They were a group of White Taring pirates.

The ship that looked far away. Now, it's crashed into Captain Lasha's ship. “Hey, what's wrong with you, why did you hit my ship?” Captain Lasha exclaimed loudly.

There's no answer. Captain Lasha again exclaimed loudly. The rope bridge was stretched, thrown into the ship Captain Lasha. The men, as well as the captains of the White Taring pirate group using a rope bridge, they got into Captain Lasha's ship.

When they were inside the ship, each of them had already drawn a sword, ready to attack.

“Everyone attack!” The pirate captain ordered his men. He is Captain Abka, a captain in command, ordering his men to attack Captain Lasha.

Captain Lasha did not stay silent. “All of you, face them!” Captain Lasha made a loud noise.

“Good, Captain!” They moved in unison, each wielding a sword.

Between the two groups of men attacked each other, in the midst of a fight between their men, Captain Abka and Captain Lasha spoke to each other. “For so long, I have never done anything wrong to you, why did you attack me?” Captain Lasha prepares to draw a sword.

Captain Abka smiled cynically, stroking the bushy beard. “Lasha, I have long been furious with you!” He pointed towards Captain Lasha using his index finger along with an angry facial expression.

Captain Lasha stared intently. “Try you mention what makes you angry?”

Captain Abka took a little walk, shrugged, then stared with a cynical smile. “Simplely, when you sailed two years ago, you prevented me from robbing the ship, you helped those people escape. You've made the biggest mistake. Stupid, you call yourself a pirate, but you changed the life order of a pirate, you do deserve to die, Lasha!”

“Abka, you know the title I have, you are impartial, you will drown in a bottomless ocean!” Captain Lasha clenched her hands, squeezing the grasp of the sword. He drew right when he finished speaking.

“Lasha, your principles remain the same as before, but you have changed the life order of pirates, you will receive—”

“Are you done talking? Heh, I'm sick of hearing your voice.” Captain Lasha cut, then whizzed.

Captain Abka's men intercept Captain Lasha's movements, but it's easy for Captain Lasha. He slashed the sword until they were all wounded, the incisions were painful, the blood spurted, they were sprawled sadistically lifeless.

Captain Lasha was again besieged as much as the eye could see. “Lasha, today you will definitely die in my hands.” Captain Abka laughed staring quite complacently.

Captain Lasha smiled, then jumped up, they all looked up, staring at the stepping, guessing where he was going to fall.

“Oh, yes. I haven't had a fight in a long time. Okay, Lasha. I'll face you!” Captain Abka looked up, staring as he pointed with a sword.

They sat. Around the gust of wind rang out, the silence of their gazes, Captain Lasha moved nimbly towards Captain Abka. Attacks are launched, they launch attacks with thrilling movements.

The slash of the sword launched by Captain Abka was easily repelled by Captain Lasha. “Your swordplay isn't bad. Heh, Lasha. Even if you're old, but your movements can be too!” Captain Abka attacked nimbly, his slash soaring into the air, the wind blowing.

Captain Lasha did not answer. He turned back, shaking the sword. So did Captain Abka, their swords clashing with continuous slashes, endlessly they both missed the attack, Captain Lasha made Captain Abka move backwards, she continued to retreat all the way to the wall of the ship.

Captain Abka was pressed, the sea was clearly visible from the glare of the eyes, if he did not step forward, he would be splashed to the surface of the sea water.

Captain Lasha is still launching an attack. “Give up, Abka!” On the sidelines of the fight Captain Lasha spoke loudly.

“I will not give up, today you must die, Lasha!” Captain Abka made a loud noise.

Captain Lasha ended the fight with a sharp incision, splitting wide right in Captain Abka's stomach area, the stomach spurting a deep red liquid, then stepping on it. Captain Abka's body was ejected from the ship, falling into the payload.

“You already know my title, but instead attack me, that is the result of your own mistake!” Captain Lasha squeezed the sword for a moment. Back, put it in the compang while staring the death of Captain Abka's body into the sea, the body slowly sank, the surface of the sea water that was originally bluish turned into reddish– blood color.

Sharks came in, gathered to eat the body of Captain Abka. Captain Abka's men were forced to retreat because they stared at the death of the captain who was very sadistic, clearly displayed in view.

Captain Lasha let them escape, for him there was no interest in finishing them off, for him Akma Jaya was much more important. “Ka–kapteen .. did you get hurt?” said one of his men embracing his hands, raising them to his shoulders.

“This is just a small scratch. Doesn't hurt!” captain Lasha replied showing a cut to his chest.

The wound incision caused Captain Lasha to lack a lot of blood, she started to feel dizzy. His men are still embracing, bringing Captain Lasha into the cabin. He slowly laid her down, then treated the gaping wound on the chest area.

“Captain, rest for a while, don't move much.” The man smiled. After finishing treating Captain Lasha's wounds. He's dipping a blanket.

The man walked out of the room, giving Captain Lasha time to rest, healing the cut on his chest. Captain Lasha rested closing her eyes. Their voyage continued after his men cleared up the mess that left the items scattered.

***

Despite the incident, now that they had reached Muara Ujung Alsa village, Captain Lasha rushed over and did not care about the injuries she suffered.

While, the healer was not aware of the arrival of Captain Lasha, the healer was busy researching the antidote that the kidnapper's boss gave—no name.

Tabra was next to the healer, listening and seeing the way the healer researched, long enough they researched. Right today, the antidote has been completed, just waiting for the Iris leaves as the complement.

Tabra was amazed to see the ability of healers in concocting potions. “Tabib, your ability is great!” He patted the healer's shoulder. They were happy, smiling at each other because they had completed the research on the antidote. Tabra ended with a laugh. They both laughed.
