Chapter 304 Pirate Trouble-02

?Daniel concealed himself behind the thick foliage of a nearby shrub, observing the pirates. Positioning himself behind the one who appeared to be giving orders, he silently approached and, with a single leap, rushed towards the pirate leader.

In a swift move, he grabbed the leader and pressed the gun barrel against the pirate's head. The other pirates reacted, but they were too slow compared to Daniel's exceptional speed.

"Don't... move," Daniel signaled with his eyes and the tone of his voice, indicating that their leader's life was in his hands.

"Ok," Daniel raised his voice, scanning the surroundings. "Who can speak English?" he asked, but the pirates remained silent. Daniel then noticed one of them trying to position himself in his blind spot.

Bang!

In a split second, Daniel blew that pirate's head off, scattering blood and gray matter across the beach. The gruesome scene terrified the remaining pirates, nearly causing them to soil themselves.

In their eyes, Daniel's gun hadn't moved from their leader's head before they heard the gunfire, resulting in their comrade's horrific demise.

"This is what happens to someone who tries to do anything stupid!" Daniel shouted before continuing. "Ok! Who the heck can speak English?" Daniel, losing patience, wanted to dispatch these scoundrels quickly.

One of the pirates waved his hand, speaking in Japanese and pointing towards others hiding behind a plane wreckage on the beach that they were salvaging.

The hiding pirate raised his hands above his head and slowly emerged. This one looked different from the rest—his face was smooth, well-groomed, with no signs of stubble or a beard. He wore glasses, and only his slightly unkempt hair suggested forced labor.

"I... I can speak English! Foreigner! What do you want?" The English-speaking pirate asked Daniel, raising his hands and moving towards him.

"That's good... You!" Daniel pointed at the English speaker. "Stay right there, lie down on your stomach, and show your hands where I can see them." Daniel instructed, and the English-speaking pirate obediently followed.

While Daniel gave instructions, the other pirates whispered and signaled to each other. Suddenly, one of them, standing to Daniel's left, aimed his gun at him. Although this pirate's movements were faster than his peers, Daniel acted swiftly.

Bang!

Once again, a pirate's head was blown off. The other pirates, startled, chose to fight, refusing to believe that ten armed individuals couldn't bring down a single foreigner!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Daniel rapidly fired his gun at the pirates who dared to fight. The large-caliber bullets bore sizable holes into the pirates' torsos, obliterating them along with any illusion of armor they thought they wore. Against Daniel's special bullets, designed to dispatch vampires in a single shot, normal humans stood no chance. Their bodies were torn open, resembling the aftermath of being hit by heavy machine gun bullets.

"Fine, if it's not too excessive, I'll help you," Daniel promised. His softer side surfaced, unable to resist helping someone who reminded him of his former self.

The English-speaking pirate smiled brightly, as if seeing hope for the first time in his life. Then he stood up, glancing toward the pirate leader. The leader tried to speak something, likely the same threat or blackmail, as Daniel noticed a lot of repeated words compared to before.

However, instead of hesitation and fear, pure rage displayed on the English speaker pirate's face before the gun in his hand unleashed his wrath.

Ratatatatatatatata!

"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhgggghhhhhhhhhhhh Shineeeeeee—!!!!!!! kusottareeeeeee—!!!!"

The submachine gun in the English speaker pirate's hand rapidly sent bullets into his former leader's body, killing him on the spot.

Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!

Even when the magazine was emptied, the English speaker pirate seemed to still want to vent his rage. Daniel didn't know what happened in the past of this English speaker pirate, but this should be enough.

"Enough... He's dead," Daniel said and patted the English speaker's pirate's shoulder. The pirate then unleashed a cry as if all of his anger and frustration broke through the dam, crying out.

"You! Go!" Daniel used simple English, speaking to the last pirate. He wanted this pirate to go back and report to his remaining comrades.

The pirate quickly nodded in understanding and ran away, unaware that he was being followed by spy metal scarabs flying high above his head.

Daniel intended for the pirate to return to their main lair or wherever it was so he could follow him. He also wanted this pirate to report what happened to ensure the loyalty of the English speaker pirate. Daniel was certain that once this guy killed this lower-tiered leader, he wouldn't be able to return to their comrades.

Daniel waited patiently for the English speaker pirate to calm down while checking the video feed he received from the spy metal scarabs. He noticed that the pirate went to another salvaging site where there was another ship anchored in the sea nearby. It seemed to be a freighter ship that the pirates had captured and refitted with some armor and a lot of guns.

"Hey, let's go... er... you..." Daniel wanted to address the English speaker pirate but didn't know his name.

The English speaker pirate quickly calmed himself down and answered. "My name is... Kato Yuki. Yuki is the first name, and Kato is my family name."

"Yuki?? That mean snow? How cute," Daniel teased, but Kato only smiled lightly. This was not the first time others misunderstood his name, especially by foreigners like Daniel.

"No... It means courage. It uses different Kanji," Kato explained as he wrote on the sand to demonstrate the difference between the Yuki (雪) that means snow and Yuki (勇気) that means courage.

"Ohhhh, so confusing. I think I'll call you Kato from now on; it sounds more masculine to me," Daniel said without any teasing or disdain, expressing genuine curiosity.

Kato nodded, appreciating Daniel's understanding without using the information to tease or bully him, unlike the pirates or the bullies he faced when he was still a student.
