(There are discrepancies between the timeline of this book and the original work. There is no need to think about it. It was all adjusted by the author. For example, in this chapter, when Alrita appeared, the timeline was adjusted to have eaten the slippery fruit.)
On the vast sea, a pirate ship with a strange shape was faintly moving, the ripples of the sea were dragging behind it. At the stern of the ship, several drunk pirates were laughing wildly. Next to them, a thin and tired boy bowed his head and held a rag to wipe the fallen wine stains on the deck.
"Wipe it clean, Keby, or Captain Alrita will not be happy." The bearded pirate's face was ferocious.
Korby's body shuddered. His face turned pale as he crouched on the floor, desperately wiping the gaps between the planks of the ship. Not far away, the crisp sound of slender heels clacking against the planks of the ship could be heard. A pair of slender pink trousers entered Korby's vision, and the footsteps stopped right in front of him.
"There's something dirty here, Korby. Did you clean it up properly?!" A soft, clear voice drifted into Korby's ears, causing his teeth to chatter uncontrollably.
"Clang!"
In the next instant, a slender heel struck him squarely in the chest. Korby felt his breath catch in his throat as his frail body was sent flying into the air, crashing into the thick and sturdy mast.
His body slowly slid down like a wall hanging from a mast. Colby stared blankly at the vast ocean, his breathing labored. Suddenly, his eyes widened, revealing an incredulous look of hope.
"Marine's warship!"
His body fell on the deck, leaning back on the mast, Keby looked at Alrita's beautiful devil face, showing a pale smile: "The Marine is here!"
Alrita suddenly turned her head and looked behind her, and suddenly her face changed. A dark blue Marine warship quickly emerged from the edge of the sea, the white Marine flag was fluttering in the wind, and under the blue seagull picture was a well-equipped Marine formation.
"Lieutenant Yarlin, we found pirates ahead!"
Hearing the soldier's report, Yarlin, who was closing his eyes in the bow, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at a lonely pirate ship in the distance with a cold smile on his mouth. "It seems that our luck is good, full speed chase, get ready to fight!"
The order was passed down, and some of the navy on the deck began to load their flintlock guns, while others drew their standard long swords and stood side by side on both sides of the ship.
The cannons on the bow of the ship also turned, and the smell of gunpowder spread out. There were also a few navy officers on the deck of the ship who looked nervous.
"Are we going to engage in a boarding battle?" A petty officer asked.
"What else?" Yarlin asked.
"Lieutenant Yarlin, I request that you arrange for soldiers to protect us." The Second Lieutenant's expression changed. "As officers, we only need to command the battle."
"Oh ~" Yarlin narrowed his eyes, the white gloves were taken off, revealing a strange dark hand. He coldly sneered: "You are wrong, as officers, you have to be the first to step on the deck of the pirate ship."
"Lieutenant Jie De, I hope you can be the first to set foot on the pirate ship, and be the first to behead a pirate as a military medal." Yarlin glanced at the Lieutenant, his fingers clasped on the hilt of his sword. Compared to his fist and dagger, he was not used to this kind of long weapon.
"You are crazy!" Lieutenant Jie De's face suddenly changed. As a lieutenant who was used to commanding from the back, how could he listen to such a ridiculous order? He immediately roared: "You have no right to order me, Lieutenant Yarlin, my rank is higher than yours."
"On this warship, I am the only officer, Lieutenant Jie De, I advise you to immediately prepare to execute the order, the distance to the pirate ship is less than 200 meters." Yarlin visually estimated the distance, the sword in his hand was vertically upright, and handed it to Lieutenant Jie De, and said: "Take the sword and prepare to bravely kill the pirates, this is what a Marine should do, not cower and be afraid of death."
Yarlin's voice was very loud, and his low voice echoed throughout the warship. All the Marine soldiers focused their eyes on him. Lieutenant Jie De's face was red, he stared at Yarlin with hatred and said: "I refuse to execute this ridiculous order, and do you really think that you are the officer of this ship?"
Jie De glanced at the Marines around him and shouted: "My soldiers, come and protect me!"
When his voice fell, there was a commotion among the Marines. Several Marines came out from both sides of the ship and walked towards Lieutenant Jie De. These Marine veterans were his original subordinates. Even if they were recently reorganized, but they were still branded with Lieutenant Jie De's label in their hearts.
Yarlin glanced at the Marines standing on the warship without any expression. Some of the Marines' faces were angry, some were indifferent, and some were hesitant. He glanced at these faces one by one, and then coldly stared at the Marine soldiers who came out and said: "Stop, go back!"
Several Marines froze for a moment, two of them stood still and didn't dare to move, the rest looked at each other and continued to walk forward. Jie De's face showed a proud smile.
"Oh ~"
Yarlin's eyebrows drooped, and the corners of his mouth rose. He suddenly gave Jie De a cold and stern feeling. His heart jumped, and he saw a flash of light piercing his eyes. A thin line of blood cut open his neck, and blood sprayed out. His head soared into the sky.
Several officers who were watching the play next to him were stunned.
The Marine soldiers who were walking forward were also frightened. They looked at the evil head rolling on the deck, and there was a chill in their hearts.
At the same time as Yarlin waved his sword, ten Marines rushed out from both sides of the ship. Without any explanation, they quickly approached the Marines who had just separated from the team. From beginning to end, they didn't make any sound and just chopped them to death.
Blood splashed and gathered on the deck, and the pungent smell of blood rushed into the nose of every Marine. The ground was paralyzed with miserable bodies.
In the silence, Yarlin inserted his sword into the body of Lieutenant Jie De and said in a cold tone: "You don't deserve to be a Marine!"
The officer next to him was pale and his legs were trembling.
Yarlin didn't look at them, but glanced at the Marine soldiers and said: "I don't care whose soldiers you used to be, and who commanded you. From now on, you are just a Marine of Navy Branch 153, and you will listen to the command of Yarlin."
"I know that many of you have suffered unfair treatment. You have been excluded by your superiors. Your pay has been deducted. Your military achievements have been embezzled … But with me, none of this will happen. I will give you the fairness you deserve. You will get full pay. Every pirate's head that you cut off with your own hands will become your military badge and reward!"
"And what I want you to do is very simple. Absolutely obey my orders. You give me absolute obedience and trust, and I will give you absolute fairness and justice!"
The smell of blood filled the air. In the strange silence, the sound of breathing began to become rapid, excited, numb, indifferent, resentful, or hesitant people's eyes gathered on Yarlin. He was like the center of the world, firmly occupying all their vision at this moment.
"We are a group. I am your superior. You will obey my orders. You will become the sword in my hand. Use the blood of the enemy to dye my uniform red. And I will use my life to maintain the dignity and justice you deserve!" Yarlin pulled out the sword from the corpse, and the blood dripped down the sword to the ground. He roared out: "Now listen to my orders, board the ship, kill all the pirates, don't leave a single one alive, and dye our uniform red with blood!"
"Roar!"
The murderous aura was boiling!
