Chapter 790 - Whitebeard\'s Delimma

’Peu! Peu! Peu! Peu! Peu!’

"Ahhhhh!!!"

’Bam!’

(T^T)

The pirates felt unwilling and helpless, as they fell to their defeat.

Who did it turn out this way?

"No! No! No!

Impossible!

This isn’t real!

How can you alone take down so many people?"

Whitebeard gripped his beard tightly while watching his men fall in agony.

How can the men that he has trained for so long die just like that?

They hadn’t even displayed their skills before they were taken out.

How did the assassin do it?

Whitebeard felt like he was slowly losing his mind just from thinking alone.

He felt like even he might not be this assassin’s equal.

So if this bastard continued like this, then he might end up dying.

And how could he be willing to leave all his worth behind?

He was the 4th ranked pirate leader of the known seas, out of hundreds and thousands of new and old pirate leaders who had their own sh.i.p.s and crews.

Many people wanted his death so that they could take his place and gain wealth from tge pirate organization.

That’s right!

They as pirates own nearly all islands around the known waters.

(* Known because they haven’t travelled the entire world yet. So they still hadn’t passed through some oceans and seas)

Still, the organization is huge, and already has a base in the continent of Morgany.

.

Ages ago, their ancestors wanted to conquer Deiferus and claimed it as their new base.

But some stupid temple named the Temple of Dragmus betrayed them.

Yes!

They had a partnership deal with the temple and had even agreed to split the Deiferus with the temple.

So without a doubt, their plans had been shared with the temple since they were allies.

But who would’ve known that the temple would betray them by taking out many of the forces?

Funny enough, the temple was actually weak at that time.

So they only won because they knew all their plans and strategies properly.

And the stupid deiferus rulers now became grateful to the temple.

So at that time when they get in defeat, a small group of pirates settled in one of the embodies in the continent of Morgany.

And with time, the pirate association was formed.

It was now equivalent to a big noble clan in that empire.

The rulers allowed them to develop, but not to get too strong.

So they resorted to claiming 70% of the islands for their hidden operations and bases.

The pirate organization had pirates from several known empires from different continents.

One should know that the languages spoken within some continents were very similar to others.

Just like how Spanish speaking people could somewhat understand French, Italian and even Portuguese... Or how English is similar to Scots (Scottish language), the same could be said for some continents within the Hertfilian world.

Pyron, Veinit (language in Continent of Veinitta), Morg (continent of Morgany) we’re 80~90 similar.

That said, the pirates within these empires formed their association with little to no language barriers.

So one could imagine how huge the association was.

And Whitebeard who was ranked the 4th on the list, no doubt received a lot of wealth.

So how could he be willing to die and let everything that he had suffered for slip away?

.

Numerous thoughts went through his mind in a flash.

What should he do?

What should he do?

Was he going to stay here and die or escape?

A hundred years wasn’t too late for someone to get revenge.

So wasn’t it better for him to retreat?

As for his reputation, who would know about it if he didn’t say anything?

He wasn’t worried about his men gossiping because they too were in the same pot with him.

The more prestige, fame and wealth he had, the more they too had.

And even if they switched, no one powerful will take them in because no one trusts snitches.

If they could betray their former boss because of greed or extra coins, then they could also betray their current Captain too.

Bottom line, their faith was now closely tied with Whitebeard.

"Retreat!

Retreat!

Get the slaves to start pulling us away!"

The moment the pirates heard Whitebeard, they almost cried with joy.

Just look at their situation?

Did it look like they still had hope against this diabolical monster?

They almost screamed and jumped in cheers.

Many tried to carry their injured bodies along, but how could Landon let anyone escape?

.

Like lightning, he ran like a samurai, cutting everything in his path... Except he did so with his silencers.

As expected, his primary target was Whitebeard.

He ran across the deck and jumped onto Whitebeard’s ship and landed in a cool manner with both guns in his hands.

’Bam!’

--silence--

’_’

"Protect the Captain!!"

People started jumping down from the sails in the air, while others rushed towards him like crazy.

And amidst all the chaos, Landon didn’t even flinch.

What could they do to him?

He aimed and rapidly fired several shots at them.

’Peu! Peu!’

Everyone’s legs went soft and turned into jelly from fright.

Some secretly swore that if they did manage to escape, they would never play along the dangerous waters near Baymard and Arcadina.

Who would want to go against this sort of enemy?

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!"

Both guns fired at the same time, causing the enemies to m.o.a.n pitifully.

Whitebeard looked at everything and quickly ran away for his dear life.

And as he ran, he kept pushing people away while printing towards Landon in panic.

"Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him for me!!"

Whitebeard accidentally fell but didn’t feel the pain at all.

He kept running, hitting others and falling all through till he successfully locked himself up in his massive bedroom.

Those who had seen him earlier couldn’t help but be in a daze a little because they had never seen their Captain get this fl.u.s.tered up.

He looked dishevelled as if he was running from a ghost.

If even their Captain succ.u.mbed to defeat, then who were they?

His appearance and actions only caused their fear for the enemy to grow even stronger.

But who sent them to be on the losing end of things, they had no choice but to fight!

.

The battle went on with Lucia’s men also dealing with the remaining pirates on the other ship.

These pirates only retreated because they were now way less in number than Lucia’s team.

So they were now easily overpowered and taken out.

Landon dealt with all enemies on board the ship he was currently in, before slowly advancing towards Whitebeard’s bedroom up the stairs.

’Bam!

He shattered the door and slowly walked in and quickly looked around it carefully.

The bastard wasn’t in the closet, on the ceiling, under the bed, on the balcony, or within any other visible parts.

He was sure that Whitebeard made his way here.

And more proof was that the door had been locked from the inside.

So he could only be hiding someplace within the room.

Landon touched all the curtains and poked on the bed too.

’Crack! Crack! Creek..’

’Creek!’

Creek?

What happened to the ’Crack’ sound from earlier on?

Landon moved around the entire room and the wooden floor on this particular area squeaked differently.

’Creek!’

A trap door?
