The Thousand Mask Warrior

Open Mouth Gaping

Some of the last boats of the pirate group Annam and Champa who sailed against the direction and tend to stay away from the smooth ride Jayaseta and his entourage, suddenly stopped rowing. All the pirates inside saw the arrival of a small boat with some

the person inside was heading towards them, paddled splitting the river currents rapidly.

“Prepare yourself. Our coming to question them seems not to be well received. They may even feel threatened,” Narendra said.

He and Katilapan were on the front side of the boat, with Jayaseta sitting unsettled in the middle of the boat, paddled by Siam and Ireng and Dara Cempaka sitting at the very back. They all held their weapons.

Just a moment ago, the six men had managed to convince the skipper to sell one of the small boats belonging to lancaran to them. They do not need to tell long stories, because of the bargaining ability of Katilapan and Narendra who have long experienced as a sailor and the price of heirloom keris blades that look so beautiful and expensive from their heirloom boxes.

Their intentions are round. Being on a smooth run will be dangerous for the movement of Jayaseta and his colleagues if it will suddenly be attacked by pirates or anyone else. Not to mention this means they will sacrifice more people namely the crew, the guard soldiers of the ship and the passengers and the skipper. The decision got off the ship and went straight towards the source of the problem, its secrecy and confusion itself.

Allegedly, the pirates who had been hiding their weapons behind the boat immediately stormed when they saw who was coming closer.

“Beched! It turned out that Jayaseta was coming closer to them. Our plans changed!” a Champa pirate, who appeared to be the leader, exclaimed to his subordinates in several boats in the last row.

“But the other boats have gone ahead, according to the plan to help our other troops,” said one subordinate.

“Let them walk first. We don't have a choice. If it is our main target even who surrendered, we serve it. Don't you think if we manage to kill the Thousand Mask Swordsman, what will we get?” continued the leader.

During this time the members of the New World in the country of Siam, Annam, Champa, Burma and surrounding areas often hear the name of the Thousand Mask Swordsman who is so famous and famous. They even have a special task to be careful of the warrior and better to lead him to be faced directly by special forces with higher levels in their group, he said, in his attempt to offer the warrior participation, or be killed.

However, until so far, not a few of them are so curious about how great the figure, which is heralded as having silat abilities that are so picky.

So, when the opportunity came alone, they both thought to try out the abilities of the swordsman and look for evidence of the truth of the story and story.

Slowly but surely, each of the pirates in some of the boats picked up their weapons, which were pieces of spiky bamboo used as javelins. The bamboos were as big as a palm, slender yet pliable and strong. Excellent for use as a throwing weapon. Spear will be quite expensive when used as a javelin, in addition to the cost of manufacture and maintenance as well as spear eyes made of metal. This great battle, the pieces of pointed bamboo made sense. The boats that Ireng and Siam paddle are sliding faster and faster splitting the current towards the group of boats of the pirates. Up to the distance of the throw, the hard command is called by the leader of the boating pirate group. “Serang! Throw your spears at them!”

The rain of pointed bamboo stems hit Jayaseta's boat. Katilapan and Narendra swiftly fended off the attacks. Even Ireng and Siam were forced to fend off the pointy bamboo stalks that were speeding towards them with their oars.

PRAK!

PRAK!

PRAK!

PRAK!

The sound of crackling cracks and broken bamboo rings heard the words. Batnag bamboo and its fragments decomposed and ejected into the river. The initial attack with perhaps ten pointed bamboo sticks thrown towards Jayaseta's boat failed completely and completely. A second attack will be carried out soon.

Ireng and Siam rowed the boat as quickly as possible.

Just when the pointed bamboo javelin was about to be thrown by the pirates as a second attack, Jayaseta's figure was high-pitched from the center of the boat like an eagle welcoming prey. His body floated high with the knowledge of body twisting centered on his legs and shoulders, by pushing both feet on the hull of the boat. Jayaseta was deliberately silent in the middle of the legs and his two other colleagues in silence from earlier to get the right time and distance.

With courage imposed by determination, against his toughest enemy, water, and the inner strength he has accumulated, Jayaseta decides to settle this as a form of accountability for his plan.

Each pair of pirate eyes rounded in shock and open mouth gaping saw the appearance of a figure that radiated terrible power in the air to then descend down towards a boat that was closest.

Jayaseta tracks the two pirates down hard, throwing them into the river. Jayaseta apparently used the bodies of the two pirates he was tracking earlier to catapult his body back into the other boat.
