Carlotta's Daily Report-Chapter 91: Still not safe

The pirates were in a state of chaos, completely unprepared for how assertive Amelia was. The leading pirate couldn’t help but repeat himself.

"We are a subsidiary of the Soul Reaper Pirates!"

Who in the Starlight sea would dare not show face to the Soul Reaper Pirates?

Amelia dared not to.

She controlled the alchemy ship and fired a light cannon, instantly reducing the leading pirate to dust, making him vanish before the eyes of the others.

This scene left the remaining pirates pale and trembling.

"I’ll say it again, submit or die."

Amelia’s gaze swept over the rest.

Under the threat of death, these pirates couldn’t remain defiant, especially since they weren’t particularly brave or principled. They quickly knelt down to show their submission.

Amelia checked her soldier list, but no new names had appeared yet, indicating that their submission wasn’t genuine.

Under normal circumstances, she will take her time to gradually add each person to her list. But now, she didn’t have that luxury and had to resort to more drastic measures.

She boarded the pirates’ ship, a sword appeared in her hand, and with a swift motion, she beheaded a nearby pirate. The scream and the sight of their comrade’s death shocked the remaining pirates into submission.

The simple way to make someone submit is through fear.

She intended to instill fear, using the most direct and brutal method to force the others to submit to her.

Carlotta sat quietly on the ship, watching.

She knew Amelia’s goal, even guessed why Amelia wanted to subdue these pirates.

In just a short while, Amelia had killed more than half of the pirates, their blood staining the pirate ship red, the pungent smell of blood mixed with the sea breeze.

But the effect was significant. Under the massive slaughter, the remaining pirates, disenchanted, finally submitted completely to Amelia, their names appearing on the soldier list.

"Clean up your ship, then head in that direction."

Amelia gave the order, pointing in a direction where Alistair and the others were currently located.

If Alistair and the others were to pursue, they would likely come from that direction. Amelia was sending these pirates to meet them.

The pirates dared not disobey Carlotta’s orders and immediately set about cleaning the blood-soaked ship.

During this, the Moonlight didn’t need to stay. After Amelia returned to the Moonlight, the alchemy ship cut through the waves and continued on its way.

Amelia returned to sit beside Carlotta, remaining silent for a while before saying, "Am I being too cruel?"

Carlotta looked at Amelia in surprise, "What?"

"I said, am I being too cruel?"

"You? Impossible, Amelia is the gentlest girl in the world."

Carlotta couldn’t help but laugh.

"Gentle as a marshmallow, I’m almost falling in."

She didn’t voice this thought, just looked at Amelia with a soft gaze.

Amelia held a special place in her heart, and after last night’s events, she had an irreplaceable uniqueness.

She couldn’t quite articulate her feelings towards Amelia anymore.

Seeing Carlotta’s smile, Amelia couldn’t help but smile back.

The Moonlight continued to sail away, encountering more monsters and pirates along the way.

The monsters were simply blasted away. As for the pirates, Amelia used the same method, subduing as many as possible.

However, subduing pirates in such a short time with harsh methods wasn’t easy. There were instances where she wiped out an entire ship of pirates without any names appearing on the soldier list.

But Amelia persisted because... Alistair and the others were truly heading south.

...

On the sea, members of the Carlisle family, the investigation team, and the Fenwick family were flying in three separate groups.

Alistair glanced back at the Fenwick family, feeling angry. These Fenwick family members had been following them, making it difficult to act even if they found Amelia and Carlotta, as these people would certainly interfere.

Even as a noble himself, he found himself hating noble privileges for the first time. If it wasn’t for their noble status, Amelia could have so blatantly protected Carlotta?

Just as Alistair was feeling irritated, someone beside him said, "There’s a fleet of ships over there, it seems like pirates."

Alistair initially didn’t want to bother with pirates, but then he thought better of it and said, "Let’s go ask for some information."

The group descended from the sky, floating above several pirate ships, a sight that left the pirates pale with fear.

Flying without any external aid clearly indicates that these were no ordinary people, but powerful beings one shouldn’t mess with.

And here was a whole group of such powerful beings, enough to make the pirates’ legs go weak just from the sight.

Alistair’s gaze swept over the frightened pirates, and he asked sternly, "Have you seen an alchemy ship appear?"

The question caught the pirates off guard, their expressions turning slightly peculiar.

Seeing their reaction, Alistair, who hadn’t held much hope, suddenly perked up and demanded, "Quickly, which direction did the alchemy ship go?"

The pirates, startled by Alistair’s attitude, quickly pointed in the same direction, indicating that the alchemy ship had gone that way.

...

On the Moonlight.

Amelia narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing the location of Alistair and the others through the soldier list. As expected, they had encountered the pirates she had deliberately sent.

Through these pirates, she had misled Alistair and the others in a wrong direction.

That direction was also south, but it deviated significantly from the actual route she and Carlotta were taking. If they continue south from that direction, they will never meet her and Carlotta.

’Successfully misdirected them. Next, I’ll arrange for a few more groups of pirates along the way to ensure continuous misdirection.’

Amelia thought to herself.

Then she lost the sense of that part.

After receiving the pirates’ guidance, Alistair, while pleased, didn’t forget to kill all the pirates before heading in the direction they had pointed out.

Before she could feel relieved about this, Amelia suddenly looked up at the sea ahead, her face showing a grave expression.

Carlotta looked at the sea ahead, her expression equal grave.

A massive fleet was crossing the sea, with pirate flags fluttering in the wind. The flame pattern on the flags was particularly striking.

This was the Blaze Pirate Crew!

Not just an affiliated pirate crew, but the Blaze Pirate Crew itself!

Among the many ships, an alchemical ship can be seen, its steel body extremely conspicuous, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.

Red Flame, the deputy captain of the Blaze Pirate Crew, was a tall, red-haired man. Standing on the deck of the alchemical ship, he looked at the solitary alchemical ship opposite him, his face also showing a strange expression.

"It’s not an alchemical ship from the top ten pirate crews... As far as I know, the only pirate crew outside the top ten that still possesses an alchemical ship is the Rose Pirate Crew, right?"

Red Flame’s eyes suddenly lit up, staring intently at the pirate ship.

Ever since the Rose Pirate Crew obtained the Pirate King’s treasure on Lionheart Island, many pirates had been searching for the Rose Pirate Crew all over the Starlight sea. After many days of fruitless searching, they were almost despaired.

But Red Flame never expected that the fleet he led would encounter the Rose Pirate Crew’s alchemical ship.

"Brothers, we’ve found the Rose Pirate Crew. Everyone, follow my orders, surround them immediately and capture them. The Pirate King’s treasure must belong to our Blaze Pirate Crew."

At the mention of the Pirate King’s treasure, all the pirates’ eyes lit up, and they roared with excitement, controlling their ships to surround the Moonlight.

...

On the Moonlight, Carlotta and Amelia stood side by side, their expressions grave.

After watching for a while, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief: "It’s not the main force of the Blaze Pirate Crew, just one of their fleets. The leader is a deputy captain from the Blaze Pirate Crew. We’ve seen this person on Lionheart Island, a man named Red Flame."

"As long as we can handle it."

Carlotta held the Magic Whale Horn and had already pressed the button on it.

When two sides meet at sea, there’s usually little suspense, a big battle is inevitable.

As the Blaze Pirate Crew approached, Carlotta immediately turned the Moonlight sideways, firing a barrage of energy cannons. The intense light instantly engulfed a nearby pirate ship.

"Boom!"

With the sound of the explosion, the pirate ship was directly sunk, the pirates on board screamed in panic as they fell into the sea.

Seeing this, Red Flame shouted loudly, "All of you, just form a perimeter, don’t get too close."

Facing an alchemical ship, having ordinary ships approach is completely useless, even if some ships are equipped with cannons.

Only an alchemical ship can deal with another alchemical ship!

Red Flame immediately maneuvered his ship, the Blazing Flame, to charge forward. As it approached, the Blazing Flame seemed to ignite, charging at the Moonlight with a savage ferocity.

The Moonlight was undaunted, also charging forward.

"Boom!"
