Chapter 79: The Strange Axe

Chapter 79 - 79: The Strange Axe "Rankyaku!!" Kuina shouted angrily. A deep blue slash directly blocked all the cannonballs that were rapidly fired toward them. The explosions in the air sent smoke rising throughout the shipyard. Except for Ryuen's original five, everyone else at the scene was stunned by Kuina's move. Even the gunners in the shipyard momentarily forgot to fire their cannons. But how could Kuina and the others give them another chance to fire? The four girls immediately charged forward. "Shigan!" "One Sword Style, Tiger Hunt!" "Ha!" The four girls swiftly knocked down enemy after enemy, as if cutting through vegetables. Seeing this, Spegg's eyes filled with fear. He didn't expect these young girls to be this strong! What was even more terrifying was that one of them actually used her foot to deliver a slashing attack! At that moment, he realized why Hog had come to seek revenge with such confidence. With these people helping him, his cannons and rockets were no match for them! Run! If he didn't run now, he'd lose his life! Just as Hog was still in a daze, he snapped out of it and charged at his uncle, swinging his axe! "Scumbag, take this!" Hog roared. Hearing the roar, Spegg instinctively looked back while fleeing, and the next moment, his face turned pale with fear! "No!" "Hog! Don't kill me~~~~~" "Thud~~~" Before Speg could finish his plea, Hog's attack reached him. The sharp axe cut a deep gash across his chest. "Ah!!!" "No! Hog~~~ I'm your uncle~~~ Don't kill me~~~" Spegg's screams echoed throughout the shipyard. He struggled to push himself backward, enduring the searing pain from his chest wound. On the other side, under the relentless attacks of the four girls, the people in the shipyard were on the brink of collapse. When they saw their boss fall to the ground, they lost all courage to fight back. "Run!" "Run!" "They're demons!" The guards and henchmen, with looks of terror on their faces, scattered in all directions. Seeing this, the four girls didn't chase them. They were just small fries—what mattered now was making sure the main figures couldn't escape. "Spare you?" "How come you didn't spare my parents back then?" "You scumbag!" "My dad treated you like family, gave you the best treatment, but you conspired with others to kill them!" "To hell with you, uncle!" The more Hog spoke, the angrier he became, and with a furious kick, he sent Speg flying! "Ah!" "Bang! Bang~~~" Already severely injured, Spegg was hit again by Hog's full-strength kick, crashing into the ground and losing consciousness. But Hog didn't plan to let him go. He walked over and stepped on Spegg's chest. "Ugh!" The intense pain immediately snapped Speg awake. "Uncle Spegg, where is my dad's axe?" Hog's face was filled with rage, looking as though he wanted to release all the suffering he had endured over the years. The four girls returned to Ryuen's side, and they had no intention of intervening any further. "In... in my office... in the secret room... I know I was wrong, don't kill me, Hog..." Speg gritted through the pain and answered in a broken voice. After getting the answer he wanted, Hog didn't waste another word. He grabbed Speg and started walking toward his office. All the way, Speg continued to cry out and beg for mercy, but Hog seemed completely deaf to it, his steps heavy and determined as he marched to the office. "Leah, aren't you going up to check?" Ryuen asked, looking at the girl hiding behind him. Hearing this, Leah snapped out of her thoughts. She shook her head firmly and softly said, "Don't worry, I believe my brother can handle it." Ryuen nodded in understanding but didn't say anything further. About ten minutes later, Hog walked out of the office. At this moment, the axe in his hand had turned into a massive weapon, its dark sheen giving off a striking presence. The axe's handle and blade were tightly connected, and it was at least three meters long! Just looking at it was enough to leave an impression. "Brother~" When Leah saw Hog, she excitedly ran into his arms, quietly crying. "It's okay now. I've avenged Mom and Dad!" Hog gently said to his sister. "Mmm~~~" Leah sobbed quietly. "Captain, this is the axe my father left me." Hog smiled as he spoke. After avenging his parents, Hog felt a sense of relief. Ryuen took the massive axe and carefully examined it. It wasn't very heavy, maybe just a little over 100 pounds, but Ryuen could tell that the material of the axe was special. Most axes are made of steel, but this one was crafted from a unique metal. It looked similar to steel but had a higher hardness and toughness. Ryuen swung the axe a few times and found that its weight was balanced and it moved smoothly. He couldn't help but praise, "This is a good weapon, a truly rare one." Hog smiled and said, "Yes, this axe has been with my father for many years. He used it to build many ships. Now, it has finally returned to me." Ryuen nodded and handed the axe back to Hog, saying, "Take good care of it. It'll be a great help to you." Hog took the axe, his eyes flashing with determination as he said, "Don't worry, Captain. I'll use it to protect our team, and our ship." Everyone laughed, and although they were joking, their hearts were filled with hope for the future. "Alright, it's time to head back," Ryuen said quietly. The mission on Cozia Island was over. They came as five, but they were leaving as seven. "But... Captain, where's our ship?" Hog looked around and asked. Leah was also confused. There was no ship here, so how were they going to leave? "We didn't come by ship, Hog. You'll find out in a minute," Daisy said with a mysterious smile. Then, Ryuen whistled. After a few seconds, an eagle's cry suddenly echoed from above! Seeing Ryuen, the black eagle seemed happy and dived down, quickly landing beside him. Hog and Leah were both stunned by this sight. Ryuen patted Little Black's lowered head and said, "Let's go, back to Cocoa Village~~~" With that, Ryuen and the others quickly climbed aboard. Hog was even more confused now—were they really going to sail out on this massive bird? "Hog, Leah, don't just stand there, get on~~~" "Huh?" "Oh~~~" "Okay, sister, let's go~~~" --- ---- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
