A mysterious man wore a small device on his ear, and on his back a metallic wheel spun, containing pistols and swords. He pressed his device, and it unfolded around his eyes, forming a frame resembling glasses, then he moved with lightning speed.
Before any of the pirates could comprehend what was happening, he approached one of them and whispered into his ear in a calm voice:
"I see dead people."
Then, in the blink of an eye, he aimed the pistol at his head and fired, causing the pirate to collapse to the ground, drenched in his own blood.
The pirates recoiled in shock, while their leader watched the mysterious man with astonishment.
The mysterious man moved with extraordinary lightness and flexibility, fighting with acrobatic motions and using his pistols and swords with mastery, as though he were enjoying the battle.
And while the clash raged on, the pirates' leader's face turned pale for a moment, and memories began to flood his mind… He recalled the stories he had heard in every port about the bounty hunter who showed no mercy, the man whispered about in rumors as though he were a nightmare roaming the seas. A man said to possess exceptional skills and unique weapons, someone from whose grasp no one ever escaped…
After the mysterious man had eliminated most of the pirates, only the captain remained, still holding the merchant, desperately clinging to any chance of survival. At that moment, the captain stammered and shouted in a trembling voice:
"You… you… are Travis… the bounty hunter!"
At that moment, the mysterious man stopped and looked directly into the eyes of the pirates' leader, then said in a calm voice: "Now you understand the truth."
The captain's hands trembled as he pressed his blade against the merchant's neck, trying to maintain some control, then shouted nervously: "If you don't surrender, I will kill him!"
Travis slowly lowered his weapon, his eyes still fixed on his opponent. But in a split second, before anyone could realize what had happened, the sound of a gunshot echoed, piercing straight through the captain's head.
The captain fell to the ground dead in an instant, while shock and disbelief spread across everyone's faces.
Travis looked at the captain's lifeless body on the ground and said with a confident smile:
"In combat, strength alone is not enough; speed, precision, and agility are what make a fighter exceptional."
After the battle ended, Basil finally came out of the kitchen, loudly wondering about the cause of all the chaos while chewing his food, unaware of the scale of the catastrophe that had just unfolded.
Basil stood in the middle of the ship and looked around, seeing the chaos and bodies scattered everywhere. He said in surprise with a smile on his face: "Good heavens! Why didn't anyone tell me there was a party? I would have brought more food!" Then he began laughing at himself while taking another bite.
Travis had already begun cleaning his weapon calmly, so he looked at Basil in surprise and then said with a laugh: "What a strange young man you are!"
Meanwhile, Hamza was bewildered by the behavior of Basil and Travis, unable to understand how they could laugh in the midst of all this chaos. Nevertheless, he was also amazed by Travis's skills and strength, and Travis became the talk of the ship after restoring hope to everyone following this critical situation.
Travis stood amid the wreckage, slowly raised his hand, and removed his glasses. At that moment, all eyes turned toward him, and soon everyone's eyes widened in shock.
The guard who had fled at the beginning of the attack… was in fact the famous bounty hunter Travis!
Everyone was in shock.
