"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The harbor - quite primitive to call it - finds Ray showing up in and Seto sounds happy.
"Ooh, Seto. Apparently, the ship was able to protect itself. The pirates... well, if they're not dead, okay"
Looking at the twenty or so pirates folding a little further apart, Ray looks back and sees those connected to the rope he is pulling... the pirates caught.
There are about twenty of you.
In addition to the pirates that Ray encountered the first place he stepped down, the pirates found looking for suspicious places on the island.
Although it is quite an old ship, I also feel that there are slightly fewer than forty people to move the two ships.
(If it's the size of this island, there's still a chance that pirates are hiding somewhere we don't know... well, there's nothing we can do about it if we keep hiding)
The closest village to this island is the one Ray asked to visit earlier to crusade the pirates.
Enough distance with Seto's wings.
... When Seto's wings are sufficient, it usually takes a reasonable amount of time to walk around the ground.
Not to mention that if you were to swim and travel in the ocean, you would travel even more time.
It's hard to swim and travel that long, even if you're a pirate.
Besides, there are monsters, not just fish, in the ocean.
Swimming and moving such a place would be nothing but a suicide act.
In other words, if Ray takes both ships here, the pirates left on this island will live a genuine uninhabited island life.
(Well, maybe there's no denying the possibility that a boat or something like that is left behind, and there's a chance that we'll make the worst raft and get off the island)
It was decided that if we were to get that far, Ray would not be able to get any more hands on it.
"Become!?...... G, Griffon!?
A man who was taking the lead among pirates being pulled with rope by Ray makes a startling sound.
I guess it was totally unexpected that Griffon would show up in a place like this.
There was an incredible look on the words of the pirates, as did the other pirates tied to the pearls.
To those pirates, Ray gives a slightly surprising look.
"What, maybe you didn't know who I was? It seems to be quite famous among the bandits, and I thought you pirates knew about it."
Whimpering, Ray takes Death Size out of Mystering again.
"I thought you knew pretty quickly who I was."
That's what Ray said, but I guess the pirates saw Seto and finally understood who Ray was.
Many had a look of despair.
To make such a waste to the pirates, Ray gently shakes the death size and opens his teasing mouth showing the slaughter as if it were slashing and tearing the air itself apart.
"I think it's a shame you guys don't know who caught you, so why don't you just introduce yourselves? I'm Ray. Rank B Adventurer with a deep red alias.... the bandits told me to eat bandits and stuff, so maybe you guys would know better."
Several pirates draw their faces to the word bandit eater.
I'm guessing those people had some detailed information.
That's why we find ourselves blinded to the one we should call the messenger of ruin, and despair.
Still, I guess we can say that these pirates were still lucky if we tried to be like bandits.
If, like the bandits around Subrusta... like those who named themselves Unsullied Pure White, they would not have been captured alive in this way if they had done harm to the person they captured in various ways.
I didn't have a single prisoner because that's what I decided this pirate would only be bothered by if he did the kind of kidnapping... I guess I was really lucky to have been able to survive that it affected me.
"Well, for now..."
Mumbling that far, Ray ties the rope he had to a tree that was nearby.
"Everyone because I'm here. That kind of recognition, okay?
To Ray's words I asked, the pirates looked at each other for a few seconds...... eventually, they nodded.
(You're lying)
Ray half-intuitively decided that it would be a lie to the pirates' attitude that this was everyone.
In the first place, I looked around at places that seemed somewhat suspicious, but still didn't mean I looked around completely at everything.
Beyond that, it's no surprise that someone is hiding somewhere... or unaware of Ray's existence.
(chances are you didn't notice the sound of the first seto... maybe not)
The fact that I didn't hear that chirping probably wasn't supposed to happen.
Perhaps because there are people in the world who have a very high degree of concentration, and such people don't realize that they imitate things like screaming in their ears...
I don't think pirates who have an aside in such a country have such a focus, but maybe, really maybe, there was a chance that there was such a person.
"I'll tell you what, if it means it's all of us because we're here, then the people we find after this are pirates and nothing. As suspicious people, we kill them instantly.... you don't mind though, do you?
Some of the pirates draw their faces to the words that came out of Ray's mouth.
Seeing it, Ray, convinced that his predictions still would have been met, takes the death size out of the mistering and waves this look at him.
If it's normal, it seems difficult to have in a small body like Ray, the Great Sickle.
But Ray holds it with one hand, and it treats the Great Sickle as if what he has is a branch of a tree or something.
It was a casually wielded death size, but its speed and sharpness was such a powerful blow that it seemed to slash and tear apart the space itself rather than the air.
The pirates watching it are naturally blinded by the blow, just knowing that Ray has a deep red alias and is someone they call a bandit eater.
Maybe we felt like we were being put in ice on our spine when the current blow was being waved at us.
"For once, I'll ask you one last time for confirmation.... You're really the guy here and everyone, right? After this, if we find someone on this island, we'll slash them off because they're suspicious, but that doesn't matter, does it?
Seriously, I asked that with a serious look...... not even a laugh and Ray asks the pirates.
The pirates won't be able to say anything to Ray's words like that.
Here, I definitely don't want to imitate selling my buddies who are still safe.
But if you don't tell me you still have company here, now Ray will definitely kill the person he finds as a suspicious person.
Whoever saw Ray's words and actions could easily have imagined it that way, and for those who know about Ray, known as the Bandit Eater, the fear is stronger.
Eventually...... one of the pirates who was watching Ray like that opens his mouth.
"Not yet... ten or so people, I'm not here"
To the pirates who told him so, some of his other companions turn a blameworthy gaze, while others turn a gaze that they have no choice.
He was a pirate with such a gaze on him, but once he spoke, he probably decided he couldn't leave anymore. The pirate man turns his powerful gaze to Ray and opens his mouth.
"I taught you that not everyone is here yet. So if you find someone else, you're not gonna kill them as suspicious people, are you?
Now I would never forgive you if you were lying.
Ray thinks a little before opening his mouth to a pirate who turns such a gaze.
"Right, you can consider that area thoroughly"
"... Consider? We're not talking about this! Promise me!
The pirate man, still thought to be in his twenties, screams, accusing Ray of keeping his mouth shut.
But Ray, who is pointing that accusation at him, didn't think he was being blamed, or he was pointing his ning-roe gaze at the pirate man.
"You know, think about what you guys have been up to. You think it's that easy to trust?
If you say so, the pirates will also remember what they have done so far and will be unable to say anything.
Few people here have nothing dark behind them, so I guess that's natural too.
Ray opens his mouth again, anticipating the pirates having a desperate look.
"Most likely, you're not so vicious pirates. So... right. If you tell me where on this island you hid the treasures you've been saving, I promise you I'll keep them alive and capture them as long as I can, as long as they don't run away in vain."
Ray looked around in the cabin where the pirates lived, but there was no such thing as hatred and the treasures that the pirates should have saved.
In other words, the pirates should have hidden the accumulated treasures somewhere on this island.
(Actually, it's possible they're hiding it on other islands, but if someone thinks they might find it, they'll want to keep it close to themselves)
Where's your treasure? And, to Ray, who so turns his gaze, the pirates shut up.
"Hmm, where are your heads? They're catching you. You're not in there?
That's what Ray asks when he now realizes that no one among the pirates he's talking to has absolute authority.
At first, I thought the one who looked a little great was the heads of the pirates, but this way, when I saw what I was talking about, I could understand that they were apparently a little different.
So, from Ray's point of view, maybe you haven't caught your head yet, so I asked... some pirates change their complexion to those words.
"I see. Apparently, you don't have your heads in the midst of being caught. When that happens, the first priority is to capture your head... well, what's the matter with you?"
"Hey, wait! I'm the one leading this pirate!
A man screams who Ray thought was just a little bit of a great looking pirate.
"Heh... you're the one with the head.... for what it's worth, I don't seem to be much admired by my men?
If you lead an outlaw called a pirate, then naturally there is a lot of instrumentation on top, other than strength.
The pirate who said he was your head didn't seem to have either of them.
"There's no way. It looks like this, and I'm quite admired. It may not look like much."
"... well. I'll ask you a little later if that's a good word. I have more to do now than that. I hope you know exactly what kind of target you were after."
Tell him so, keeping the pirates cramping their cheeks intact, Ray approaches the ship... he notices the pirates fainting near Seto before, tie them up with rope for now, and then head back to the ship.
Not that it's a solid harbor, but made with the idea that if you can use it for now, that's fine, such a harbor.
So, if even a typhoon comes, you will definitely walk through the harbor that you won't be able to use and get close to the ship.
The two ships are both quite aged, but they approach the ships of those who still have more signs of damage and repair in particular among them.
The pirates don't know what Ray is trying to do and watch the action.
Try being pirates who know little about Ray, and he'll just look like Ray's trying to check out the inside of the ship.
Searching the ship - should I say searching the ship - is what makes you think of a man named Ray? and the pirates seemed strange, but Ray could not help but reach softly for the ship that was floating in the sea.
Ray doesn't even know if it's ready to board, or if it's made like this because it made the harbor simple.
But if I only knew that if I reached for it, I would touch the ship, that would have been enough.
Such Ray's actions were completely incomprehensible to the pirates.
What are you doing? Do what? What are you gonna do?
While such gaze is turned, Ray keeps the ship in mysterious storage.
For a moment... Exactly, for a moment, the ship disappears from the sea.
The pirates who saw it could only fall in love with it in such a way that they had no idea what was going on.
"Well, next time."
That's how keeping the pirates in love, Ray headed to the ship that was parked a little further away...
"Hey, wait a minute! What the hell did you do!
One of the pirates can be heard making noise, but Ray arrives under the other ship without looking concerned about it and touches the ship...... but frowns at the next moment.
"I can't store it, can I?
