I’m a Bastard But You’re Worse!

After several minutes of uninterrupted screams, the Snakebone pirates ship fell into complete silence.

The massacre seemed to have ended.

Not long after, another vessel approached the pirate ship turned slaughterhouse.

On the approaching ship flew a simple skull flag. On the mast of the rather drab vessel stood a woman in a red dress.

Gahaha!! Looks like the job is already done!

The woman in the red dress, her white hair blowing in the wind, was Grace D.O. Maxwell.

The captain of the White Demons, the largest pirate crew of the southern seas the infamous pirate known as Draco Omari.

Damn, he really took out the Snakebones all by himselfguess he really is grandma and that mans son

The large man who contemplated the situation with an impressed sigh was Gourd, vice captain of the White Demons.

Gourd then instructed his subordinates to flank the Snakebones ship.

Whoa

After taking a closer look at the ship, Gourd voiced his surprise aloud.

It was drenched in blood, from the deck all the way to the mast. One would be hard pressed to find a spot not painted red.

The heavy stench of blood and death hung over the ship, as if to forbid any living beings from stepping on it.

On that ghost shipI was standing, alone.

Heyits been a while.

The White Demon pirates boarded the ship, looking slightly intimidated.

I then threw the knife I had snatched from the pirate at the woman leading them.

Ooh!?

The knife targeted her throat, just as I aimed, but Grace blocked it, as easily as if it was a ball.

I had expected that much. So I picked up a sword from a dead pirate and instantly closed in on her.

Hah!!

Hey now, that was dangerous!

Tchdidnt work, huh.

I swung the sword in a flash, but Grace caught the blade between her fingers, as if it was nothing.

Because of the bruises covering my body, I couldnt exert as much strength as Id hoped.

Whats wrong, did you mistake me for an enemy? Take a good look, dear, its your dear mother!

Yeah, thats why I attacked you, shitty hag!!

So I spat out, as I tossed the sword taken from the corpse away.

What are you sulking for? Is this your rebel phase? Or are you angry at me for making you act as a castaway to crush the Snakebones?

Exactly that, shitty hag!!

The Snakebone pirates were not exactly a menace in terms of fighting power. They were very cautious, however, and had eluded the White Demons tracking until now, making them quite difficult to catch.

To use a decoy, acting as a castaway, to make them drop their guard was not a bad plan by itself.

Butwas the torture part really necessary!?

I put all my weight on the pivot leg and unleashed a kick with all my might but Grace swayed and dodged it without effort.

Bweh!?

The kick landed on Gourd, who was standing behind her, instead. The unexpected impact sent him flying into the air, then into the sea.

Gahaha, dont be so angry! Mommy will be sad if her son hates her so much!

Dont make me hate you then!! I cant even remember you ever acting like a mother anyway!!

Grace took all my insults like nothing, laughing loudly as usual.

I finally realized that talking to her was pointless and picked up one of the pirates lying on the deck.

I left the captain alive, like you said. Interrogation, torture, I dont care, hes all yours.

The captain of the Snakebone pirates had suffered blade wounds here and there, but still breathed.

I kicked him in Graces direction, sending him rolling to her feet.

Gahaha!! Thats my boy!! Well done!

Dont touch my head!! Seriously

Grace tried to pat my head, but I dodged and headed towards the ships cabin.

These guys waresI can do what I want with the slaves, right? That was the agreement, right?

Right! The White Demons dont engage in that kind of trade!!

Really nowI hope I can find a good woman, at least

After going through something like this, I had to spend some quality time with a woman to cope.

Praying that the pirates had captured a beauty or two, I thus went into the cabin, where they supposedly kept their wares.
