Chapter 15 - Chap.13 - Stealing a ship - Part.2

"Depulso" Rigel waved his wand, sending another undead pirate flying away. Most who saw this were either sent flying as well or were more concerned with running away. Even if someone actually saw the magic, when others told them, no one would believe them.

 

The five behind him grew increasingly excited, they even grabbed the swords and guns of sailors and pirates wherever they went.

 

Now armed, they looked ready to fight, but Rigel stopped the idiots and ran towards the harbor, he wasn't going to the dock where Hector Barbossa was attacking, but to the military dock near the Royal Navy barracks.

 

As a result, the number of pirates he was seeing was decreasing and the number of guards was increasing, fortunately, due to their age, most of the guards simply looked at them and ignored them.

 

Although the swords and guns at their waists made them suspicious, it was not the time to worry about that with the obvious attack underway.

 

Rigel ignored all of that, and soon he found the HMS Dauntless far from the coast. The ship was too large to dock in shallow waters, like a three-masted giant. Rigel was also interested in it, but although it left him tempted, he turned to the HMS Interceptor, utility was better than quality at the moment.

 

Well, from now on it would just be Interceptor.

 

(A/N: HMS stands for Her/His Majesty's Ship, the "Her" or "His" is defined by the gender of the current king/queen.)

 

Rigel could have waited to steal the ship with Jack and Will until tomorrow, but at that point would the pair listen to a brat? Even if they did, Jack would be the captain, as he always wants.

 

Although Rigel possessed magic, he didn't underestimate a guy who could walk through a hail of bullets without getting shot, be chased by the undead, ghosts, and all sorts of creatures, and still survive. So he seized the ship first and left the negotiations for later.

 

Currently, Rigel is dressed in damaged clothes, his hair is messy, and his face is even dirty with soil. After tidying himself up, he doubts the sailors would discover who he is, so he could enter Port Royal again to negotiate with Jack.

 

As soon as he arrived at the port, he noticed that the sailors were already aboard the Interceptor, struggling to get the ship sailing to support the civilian dock, but the attack was too quick and precise, by the time they finished, Barbossa would already be far away.

 

Currently, even the cannon fire was ceasing, they had probably already captured Elizabeth and the Aztec Coin.

 

Rigel, who had drunk the potion of courage, did not hesitate for a moment. The children behind him were very nervous, but for someone who grew up in such a precarious environment, courage was never lacking when it came time to act.

 

With Rigel leading the way, they drew their swords and guns and followed.

 

The youngest, George, struggled to lift his sword, it was truly comical.

 

As soon as Rigel entered, the busy men didn't notice, but he made himself noticed.

 

"Gentlemen!" A shout caught everyone's attention. They stopped, surprised, looking at Rigel in confusion, but the next moment, Rigel simply smiled and raised his wand. "Lumos... Maxima!"

 

The five behind them, as soon as they heard the first word, not only closed their eyes, but quickly dropped their swords and covered their faces with expressions of panic, they had already experienced this before, they didn't want to experience it again.

 

This time it was even worse, the environment was almost completely dark, the moonlight obscured by heavy clouds. They looked at the wand in confusion, but regretted it immediately afterward.

 

It was like looking directly at the midday sun after leaving a dark room.

 

The cries of pain were followed by sailors falling, and whatever they were carrying, they screamed, holding their eyes shut and rolling on the ground.

 

Rigel opened his eyes, blinking slightly, his eyelids still couldn't handle so much light, causing slight discomfort. He wondered if he should get some sunglasses.

 

The five behind them were much better, but they didn't even dare open their eyes, still blinded by fear of looking up.

 

Rigel ignored the five and began firing Petrificus Totalus everywhere, with his proficiency, the effect would only last a few hours, but it was enough. He cleared his throat, drawing the attention of his crew, who cautiously opened their eyes.

 

Rigel looked at them and unleashed his pirate spirit. "What are you waiting for?! Get rid of them!" he shouted.

 

The boys were speechless for a moment before starting to run off with surprised and hurried faces. The sailors still had their eyes closed, their faces marked by pain, but now they were all like corpses lying on the ground.

 

For a moment the boys thought they were dead, but seeing their chests still rising and falling, they sighed with relief.

 

Quickly throwing the marines onto the dock while Rigel began to look around the ship, including the interior.

 

It wasn't large, but it was sufficient, it could hold about twenty to thirty people. The downside was that there were no "captain's quarters," just a cargo area, a prison, and a "dormitory" full of hammocks.

 

The cargo area didn't have much in it, it probably hadn't been loaded yet.

 

When he climbed back up, the boys had already dragged all the guards out. Rigel waited for them to catch their breath from the exertion and reappear in front of them again.

 

"Well, my friends, now we have a ship." Rigel smiled, and the other boys also showed excitement.

 

"Captain!" Billy was the first to shout, surprising the others, but they all quickly followed suit.

 

"Captain! " x4

 

Rigel smiled, but while he was surprised, the Adventure Book reappeared before him, opening to a page.
