nAfter adjusting everything, Trey gripped the lever and held it right.

nHere goes nothing.

n~Bruuuum!

nInstantly, the ship reversed so fast, throwing almost everyone on the ship onto the water.

n

"Ahhhh!

"

n~plop!

nTrey reversed the ship towards its left, which caused too much force on one of the ropes.

nOn the enemy ship, some of the dragias had already noticed this problem.

n

"Primates! Primates! The wooden railings attached to one of the ropes is threatening to break.

nBefore sliding to the enemy's ship earlier on, we had secured it around 3 wooden railings.

nBut now, it's threatening to break!

"

n

"What?

"

nLinvor and Jimosen looked at each other in dismay.

n

"Quickly! Get more rope immediately and tie it to the main rope.

nFrom there, secure the ripe on more railings and other structures around the ship.

nWell, what are you waiting for? Move! Move! Move!

"

nThe dragia who reported the matter left hurriedly to do as he was told.

nThis was the first time that they had ever faced such a problem.

nTypically, the rope they tied to swing to the enemy's sh.i.p.s always stayed in place.

nAnd could only be destroyed if the enemy cut the rope with a knife to prevent them from crossing over.

nForget it! They were sure that no one, not even the pirates, had faced such a scenario.

nA massive chick of their wooden ship was threatening to detach itself and fly away.

nSo how could they not be scared?

nDo you know how much it'll cost for maintenance?

nMore importantly, in this Fall season that's coming to an end, welcoming winter... this ship would have leaks and floods due to this problem.

nLuckily, only one ship was affected.

nAnd the fact that they would soon take over Baymard, made them feel that it wasn't so bad.

nAt least, they could do any other repairs after.

n.

n

"Everyone! Get ropes! Get more ropes!

nDon't let railings break!

"

nChaos quickly filled the place as everyone started running around, doing the best they could to help out.

nToo bad their efforts all went in vain.

nBecause the moment the announcement was made, everyone could hear a loud breaking sound.

n~Crack!

nTheir faces turned pale, and their hearts sunk deeper.

n~BAM!

nA large chunk of wood, about 4 feet wide, quickly broke free from the ship in a flash.

nIn the end, the overly thick rope was still the victor.

nTrey, who had successfully pushed all the 'zombies' away from his view, looked out the front glass and smiled when he saw the wooden structure following them in the water.

nHeh. Things weren't over yet.

nHe quickly moved in another direction, breaking free from the last time too.

nWith that, he stopped reversing.

nGood. The show can finally begin.

n

"Windsor, Jina, Carl, Maito, Zoka, Leah!

nThe 6 of you will go out there and cut the rope. We don't want these massive wooden pieces following us around. It'll be our downfall.

n2 people can focus on cutting the rope, while the other 4 will keep them safe.

nFigure things out yourselves.

nNow go!

nAnd remember, there are still a few dragias out on the deck.

nSo move carefully.

nAnd, make sure to take the safety rock climbing ropes at the emergency box over there.

nI want everyone properly secured to each other.

nWe don't want any of you falling off the ship, now do we?

"

nThe 6 nodded:

"Yes, Admiral.

"

nWith that, all 6 un-strapped and hastily stood next to the door.

"

nTrey looked at the green glowing button before him before briefly glancing back at them.

n

"Preparing to open the door in 3...2...1...

"

n~Tchakap!

nThe door automatically opened, and all 6 came face to face with a few Dragias... most of which were lying on the floor.

nThe moment the last person stepped out, Trey shut the door tightly.

nNow, it was all up to them.

n.

nThe moment the door opened earlier on, someone who had been latching on to the door handle, quickly attached them.

nWindsor quickly kicked the person back with his legs, sending them rolling like a bowling ball, hitting a few who wanted to stand up and fight.

n~Bam!

nThe battle was on.

nSeeing that everyone was trying to find their center of gravity from the abrupt steadiness of the ship, the gang dashed forward to the front, attacking those who dared to stand up or leave their support.

n~Bam. Bam. Pah. Pah.

n

"You all die for me!

"

nOne of the dragias angrily left the metal railings he held onto at the side of the ship, and quickly ran towards Windsor with a dagger in his hand.

nBut Windsor ducked to the side, grabbed the hand holding the dagger as if he wanted to dance.... before using his other hand to grab his opponent's shoulder and kick his belly 4 times, making him arch over in pain.

n

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

" The dragia yelled in pain every time he was kneed in the belly.

nBut that wasn't the end of his beatings.

nWindsor then let go of the man's shoulder, flexed his arm and delivered a downward blow with his elbow, directly on the dragia's shoulder blade.

n

"Ahhhhh!

"

nF***! It hurt like hell.

nIt hurt so much that his grip on his dagger loosened, which gave room for Windsor to seize it.

n

"Damn you!

" The dragias barked in rage.

nBut Windsor couldn't care less and hurriedly threw the guy overboard.

n~Splash!

nJust like that, everyone fought their way to the front.

nFortunately, there weren't many people who had stabilized themselves yet.

nSo they were quick.

nAnd the moment they secured the bungee cords around their waists to the railings at the front, they did 'okay signs' towards Trey, who was now watching them from the glass window.

nGood. They were all secured.

n.

n

"You bastards! We'll get you!

nWe'll get you even if it's the last thing we do!

"

nThe enemies on deck looked at the 6 as if looking at dead people.

nWith that, they all rushed towards the 6 Coast guards like crazy.

nTrey watched their actions and couldn't help chuckling up a bit.

nIt was now his favourite part of the game.

nThis should be fun.
