Chapter 1002 - Payback Time

~Drrrrrrrr~~~

The rain constantly poured In Fast Arms hair, making it stick together, creating silky-looking strands of hair parted out.

And as he kicked his opponent lying on the muddy grounds, his dark raven hair flipped back and forth, giving him a very domineering look.

~Splash. Splash. Splash. Splash.~~

The muddy waters accompanied Fast Arms’ kick, coating Josh’s entire body.

The pirates watched in glee as their enemy got repeatedly punched and stepped by the famous Fast Arms in their crew.

Damn. It felt good.

They also held reverence for him now because in their eyes, many had come up to deal with the assassin but ended up getting beaten and thrown away instead.

But Fast Arms on the other hand, quickly dealt with the situation, making them acknowledge him even more.

No wonder their Captain and a few other top crew members like Crow Face, typically gave more trust to Fast Arms.

Indeed. He always got the job done faster.

Swift and precise.

More still, he was number 318 on the crew and rookie pirate list.

Heh. One shouldn’t look down at that number.

Crew Captains have their own separate list, which ranks all pirate Captains in the organization.

But crewmates and rookies had a list of their own too.

Of course, one should know that a single crew alone could have 12,000 or more pirates assigned to it.

So imagine the number of pirates that actually exist when thinking of all the crews that existed?

Not to talk of the pirates who went undercover on land or those at headquarters.

For centuries, the pirates had been building themselves up to what they were today.

So one could imagine that it would be impossible to rank all rookies or phenomenal newbies.

Typically, the pirates only presented a list of 400 top rookies and newbies.

So for anyone to even be on the list was in itself remarkable.

And Fast Arms came in at 318, making many look at him with awe and reverence.

Who wouldn’t want their names on the list?

Even though some within the crew had fame, it was nothing compared to being on the list.

Their fame was only known to their crew and a few other crews, but those on the list would be known to all pirates, as well as many merchants, nobles and even peasants.

If people wanted to sail and heard that the pirate before them was the famous person they had heard about, of course, they would shiver in fright and may even be more humble than before.

The fame gathered by those on the list was something that every pirate dreamt of.

Not to talk of the rewards and perks for those on the list.

That’s why everyone strived to get on top.

.

Indeed. In the eyes of everyone here, Fast Arms had won their respect.

But while they looked at him with undying admiration, Fast Arms, on the other hand, was facing his own internal battles.

No. It should be that Fast Arms was secretly beating himself up instead.

At this point, his legs started to hurt like crazy, but he dared not show it.

What the hell was this guy’s body made of?

The more he kicked, the more pain he felt.

It was like he was punishing himself rather than taking care of an assassin.

The only thing that made him feel better was that the assassin seemed to be in agony as well.

It would’ve really crushed his confidence if the guy was still okay.

~Pah. Pah. Pah. Pah. Pah.

Old Crow Face watched the show for a bit in satisfaction before stopping it.

"Enough, Fast Arms! That’s enough.

We don’t want to kill the poor guy, now would we?"

Everyone grinned and created room for Old Crow.

"Get him on his knees."

Instantly, 2 other pirates stepped forth and harshly pulled Josh from the muddy floor while trash-talking him.

"Just a little beating, and you’re already this broken? Get up, you weakling!"

"Bastard! It serves you right for crossing us. Now get up!!"

Plop.

Josh was now on his knees while the pirates held his arms wide open.

His breathing seemed hoarser and heavier as he struggled to keep his eyes wide open.

He looked like someone who had just been through hell.

His appearance made the pirates feel very fulfilled.

Okay. Now, some of their frustrations had been dealt with thanks to Fast Arms.

Payback felt good.

.

Crow Face advanced slowly while observing the assassin.

Even though he knew the assassin spoke another language, he also knew that the assassin seemed to have a fairly moderate understanding of Pyron.

Right from the city, Old Crow Face had noticed that the assassin and his friends seemed to understand a few words from them.

Their actions led him to believe that these assassins were probably beginners with Pyron.

They might not be able to speak it, but they understand a little bit of it.

It was easy to tell this because the assassin didn’t react to some of the sentences they threw at them.

At times, the assassins looked at each other in confusion too.

This was during the time in the city when the assassins had disguised themselves as servants.

Of course, at that time, they thought that the servants before them were dumb who couldn’t speak.

It was only after they kidnapped the boy that they knew they were assassins.

And now, knowing that the assassin could speak an entirely different language made everything suddenly click in his mind.

It all made sense now.

This assassin, along with his friends, were definitely sent by forces outside Pyno.

But who?

Who was it?

Crow Fafe ran his hand through his hair calmly, taking off the excess rain, before smiling at Josh cruelly.

Well, whoever it was, they would soon find out

For now, he needed to first communicate with the assassin.

Even though he knew the assassin spoke a different language, he still tried communicating and breaking the gap between them.

The assassin already understood a bit of Pyno.

So if he also knew a few Pyno words, then things would go a lot faster.

Besides... Old Crow Face took himself as an intelligent man who was always up for the challenge.

So why not try his luck?
