Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

Chapter 25 All Hands Hoay!! (2)



My mind turned blank.

What was this feeling?

Whether it was my faith in cementing itself or the fact that I might survive my days as a sea slave, I didn't know.

"AND OUR GUEST OF HONOUR, A BEAST SENT BY THE REAPER HIMSELF".

But what I knew right now, was that the man burning in flames was my captain, and I couldn't let him steer the ship alone.

He needed me.

He needed his crewmen.

Walking to the opposite direction of where the helm is located, towards a medium-sized bell. I grabbed it tightly and swung it with all my strength.

"RING!!" "RING!!!" "RING!!!!" "RING!!!!"

"DIDN'T YOU ALL HEAR THE CAPTAIN" I screamed at the top of my lungs "ALL HANDS HOAY!!!".

Sea slave or not, my death will not be on this godforsaken ocean.

…...

[ Wyatt's P. O. V ]

I was startled by the bells that were suddenly ringing behind me together with Mad John's sudden shouts.

Turning my head to the back, I noticed that he was no longer lying on the floorboard, but had now gotten up as was even the one ringing the bells.

Okay, after this, I am definitely giving him a promotion.

Still, I didn't know why my words could motivate him so much because all I had said were lines that I had memorized from a pirate movie and a few other shipwreck documentaries that I had watched.

I was a marine biologist, and although I hated my job, that didn't stop me from enjoying movies like that.

What the heck!!

Even my blood was pumping as I steered the helm, controlling the movement of the whole ship from side to side.

Still, I wondered why the helm or my clothes hasn't burned down yet because of the flames that were raging all around me.

I had an idea of why the wood hasn't caught on fire yet because of what Mad John has told me before.

But for the clothes, I was curious about why it hasn't been burned to ashes yet.

Yes, though I was happy that it hasn't because I didn't want every part of my body to be showcased to the outside world, still it seems that I would have to try some experiments, later on, to see what else the clothes were resistant to.

Regardless, I didn't want to be a flaming naked captain because that would be awkward.

"BAMMM!!!"

I looked towards the door that was suddenly swung open with force and my eyes were met with the figures of about 5 of my other crewmen.

It seems that they heard out screams.

Well, to be fair, with the way I and Mad John had been screaming, anyone who had an ear and wasn't deaf would have certainly heard us.

"BANGG!!" "SPLASHHH!!!"

The ship tilted to the side as the tiger whale collided with us once more.

Okay, I am starting to get annoyed by it.

Even though my body was set ablaze with the flames dancing all around me, I was only able to stay standing because of the unnatural strength that circulated through every fibre of my being. Through my flesh and bones.

If not, I would have already collapsed on the floorboard because of the aching feeling of my body squeezing out every amount of mana that it could out of it.

My hands were shivering. My flesh and muscles both tightened and loosened. My breathing turned rapid as I tried to feed my lungs with air in other to lessen the amount of stress that I was currently feeling.

Okay, I needed to end this!!

And I needed to end it fast!!!

But the billion-dollar question was, how?

"HEAVE HO!!"

I heard Mad John yell out one more time. And the men below started working faster.

Some of them empty the ship that was slowly been drowned by the water that had splashed in with a bucket, while the others tried to keep the sail stable and navigate it through the heavy winds and rising tides.

"BANG!!" "BANGG!!!!"

And it also seems like there were still some down below who were controlling the cannons as I could still hear the heavy sounds of its release.

So, this was what it felt like to steer a ship as a captain.

I liked it.

Sucking in the air around me as I filled my lungs till they reached their capacity, I yelled out.

"HEAVE HO!! PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT!!!"

They paused.

They looked at me as though they have just seen a ghost.

"SHOULD I REPEAT MYSELF ONE MORE TIME!!".

They immediately went back to work as though they had been broken out of a time pause.

How dramatic.

I snorted.

Turning my head back as I no longer heard the bells ringing, I saw Mad John smiling in my direction with a wide grin on his face.

I wonder what was making him happy.

Was it the fact that we are been chased to death by a magical sea beast in the middle of the night, or the fact that he had been burned a little too much by flames?

He was probabaly a masochist.

But I would need to confirm that later though.

I have already decided to keep him by my side and that meant that I was prepared to make him my right-hand man.

I mean the man was a natural at taking care of the ship, and even though I have watched a lot of pirate-themed movies in my days back on earth, I still knew that I would need someone who was more experienced in fulfilling that role until I have gotten a hang of it.

Still, for now, how the hell do I take care of the beast?

I saw Mad John's eyes widen as a huge shadow was suddenly cast above me.

A terrible premonition instantly crept onto my heart.

I looked up.

You fucking have to be kidding me!!!

What blocked my vision was the image of a full-grown whale with tiger strips all around its body together with razor shark-like teethes that were probably as deadly as they looked.
