Second Life: Welcome to Gaia

Chapter 55: Pirates!

Every team member, except Ye Yan, went to open the old wooden chests. There are eight in total and they hope they can get good things from them.

When they got near the chests, they could see adamantium locks on the chests, which means that they need the key, high-level skill and proficiency in lockpick, or high-quality tools. And in case they try to open it using brute force, their weapons should be, at least, of adamantium quality.

They start to think that this dungeon was made to play around with players, tempting them but denying to give them the goods. First was the red corals and now the chests.

While they became dispirited after found out about the locks, Ye Yan was congratulating himself for his wise decision. He had stayed in the cave exit when his friends went to the chest like hungry wolves. Because of this, he got a title!

The system judged him as a non-greedy person as he didn't try to open the chest and now he was blessed with a good title in the game.

.

[Non-greedy] (Title)

Description: You are a virtuous person that can't be tempted by treasures to commit bad deeds in the name of greed.

Effect: Permanently increase your luck and charisma by 2 points.

.

Ye Yan decided to comment about the title at the end of this dungeon run, or his friends' dissatisfaction would increase too much. 

Conan and Demon Fox looked suspicious at Ye Yan's almost smiling face. They knew that something good must have happened for him to be happy with cockroaches nearby, even if they are dead.

Even after receiving questioned gazes from his friends, Ye Yan kept tight-lipped. It would do him any good to speak about the title with them now. As Ye Yan said nothing, they give up trying to know.

They left the storage cave and followed the path to the wharf, where a pirate ship is docked.

They looked at the wharf's area from a distance. There is only the wooden wharf with some boxes scattered and a big pirate ship at the end of it.

The wooden pirate ship is 60m in length with 46 broadside cannons, 2 swivel guns, many fire barrels, and around 30 members of the crew could be seen working on the deck.

This part of the dungeon made everyone excited. They will have the opportunity to fight against pirates on a pirate ship, no less. 

Most of the members of the party had played pirates as a child, male and female. 

Conan was the one that most played pirate among them. He used a plastic sword, a black scarf, and his mother's black bra to make an eye patch. But his mother soon confiscated his makeshift eye patch. 

Afterward, she confiscated his plastic sword too because he was playing fighting with his friends like in video games. [span]They drew the life bar on the floor and marked it whenever someone 'drew blood' from the other.[/span] When someone lost a tooth, his mother took their tools away and forbade them to play fighting again.

There are around 30 pirates on the ship deck and maybe more inside they aren't seeing. They are very close together, thus it will be impossible to fight them separately.

In I Love Skooma mind, he imagined himself as an expert assassin, climbing the ship from its sides, cutting the throat of the pirates without the others notice what was happening, and throw them out of the ship.

Maybe in the future, he will have the opportunity of doing it, but now, he doesn't have the weapons, skills, and ability to do it yet.  However, he will strive to be a top assassin in the future. 

The race he chose is the better, in his opinion, for this class. The werecat has the advantage when climbing and his body can pass through many extremely narrow places that is impossible to other races. 

I Love Skooma sighed, thinking that he can only achieve these things in the future, and got ready to raid the pirates' ship.

There is no place for them to hide while passing through the wharf. The boxes are small compared to them and it would be ridiculous to even try. Mainly Ashardalon and Conan, both are from Dragonborn and half-orc races respectively, and not even two boxes stacked can hide them.

Ye Yan gave the idea of fighting on the wharf. In this way, they can fight a small number of pirates at the same time. The wharf has only 150 cm width (~5ft) and they can fight only three at the same time.

The wharf is about two meters above the water and there are many almost-impossible-to-climb rocks between the place they are and the water. And even if the tide goes up, they will have a hard time trying to reach them.

They decided to send I Love Skooma to attract them because of his agility but My Girl pesters them so much that they let him go do the job. Better let him do it on Normal Mode than in harder difficulty modes.

While the others waited next to the wharf, My Girl walking through it as if he was walking through the catwalk, moving his hips while doing it.

Soon the pirates noticed him, but for some unknown reason didn't attack right away, but start to whistle instead. One of the pirates even starts to yell obscenities to My Girl from the ship.

"Hey! She is a shemale! Do you really want her?" One of the pirates said to the one yelling obscenities.

"What about it? After months on the sea without a woman, even a table with a skirt would be attractive." The pirate answered his friend.

It's really hard for them to find a woman because of their ugly appearance. Some even reject them when they tried to pay for their services. And seeing someone now, they only thought they were blessed.

While they were looking at My Girl, he threw kisses at them very coquettishly and turned around, walking back to where his teammates are.

Ye Yan and the other were watching everything from a distance with their jaw dropped. They couldn't even imagine that such a thing would happen. Everything is too shocking to them. 

Seeing the behavior of My Girl, they threw hidden glances at Harpy to see her reaction because My Girl is her husband after all. But contrary to what they thought, she didn't show any reaction to the scene. In truth, Harpy is too used to it to mind about her husband's oddities.

"This is what you really can call a trap!" Conan couldn't help but say it to the others. "This is a honey trap in an entirely new level!"

Everyone, except the serious Harpy, nodded their heads when they heard what Conan said. They were still in awe about what they had just seen to say something.

My Girl walked back to them, still shaking his hips with a queue of pirates following him like zombies, without taking their eyes off his ass. If a cartoonist draws this scene, he or she would picture it as a woman walking and zombies with wolf heads following her.

When My Girl reached the end of the wharf, near their location, they got out of their hiding place and surprise attack the pirates.

Ashardalon changed places with My Girl and blocked the passage for the pirates to stay restricted on the wharf. Using his large shield, Ashardalon didn't let anyone pass through him.

While Ashardalon was tanking them, Ye Yan jumped over the pirates and used their heads to cross to the other side. He was too fast for the pirates to reacted, and when they did react, it was too late, because Ye Yan was already at their rear, blocking their retreat.

This time, Ye Yan acted as a top fighter, showing why others admire him. He used his fan open to slash the pirates and closed it to defend against their swords when needed.

Harpy and Demon Fox were on a privileged location, firing their arrows at the pirates in the middle, while Hello Kitty and Mage of the Cold Nights throw their spells on them.

As Snow White and My Girl have nothing to do because Ye Yan didn't take damage and Ashardalon was taking very little damage, both of them started attacking the pirates too, throwing needles at them.

I Love Skooma couldn't take them in a melee fight, so he took a boomerang he kept on his bag for this kind of situation and start to throw it at them. It deals less damage than throwing knives but, at least, he can't lose it as could happen with the knives.

Sometimes, Ye Yan would kick one of the pirates out of the wharf or they would fall because it was overcrowded and they staggered at taking an arrow or hit by the boomerang.

When it happens, Hello Kitty uses her lightning skills that could damage all those that fell in the water at the same time. 

Soon, every one of the 30 pirates was dead, leaving their weapons on the wharf. The loot from the pirates that fell in the water is as good as lost now, at least, they were of low quality because they were in the Normal Mode version of the dungeon.
