Chapter 30 Treasure Worthy Of Risking Life...
The young lady was halfway into the grave. Commander Half Bra could see that there was no way that she could be saved.
Commander Half Bra told someone to prolong her life even if it was just a little as she listened to the girl's words.
The young girl was tenaciously holding on to life as she told her story.
It turned out that Commander Full Bra had gotten a very handsome price for escorting a merchant group. Surprisingly, the destination was these Black islands.
It was true that Pirates were pillaging scum that only knew how to steal and take. However, when it came to the sea, there was no one more capable than them.
They have even been instances in the past when governments and kingdoms employed their services.
This was one such instance.
A Merchant guild had assigned Commander Full Bra to escort a group of merchants to their destination.
Initially, the destination was not set, but the merchants were still willing to pay a handsome price for any waste of time.
In Commander Full Bra's books, this was free pay that had fallen on her lush thighs. She really did not mind this.
For some reason, the merchants were always holed up in their cabin. If one did not know right, then it was easy to say that something was amiss.
After going around the edges of the Blue sea for days, the Black islands were finally desired as the final destination.
However, from nowhere, came the pursuit of the black Eye pirates.
At First, Commander Full bra had thought of making peace. Especially since the Code of the Blue sea bound them as allies. However, Commander Tender Eye Drew first blood.
For some reason, he was willing to kill them.
Commander Full Bra's crew were Pirates, but they had been gotten unaware by Commander Tender Eye, as he attacked first.
Many died, and many were captured.
However, Commander Full Bra was still able to escape into the Black island with the merchants that she was escorting.
Commander Half Bra sighed. She now knew the general gist of the matter.
However, she also had a rich history with the sea. And in her knowledge of things, no pirate wanted to ever break the Code of the Blue sea.
The consequences were just too much. Even if it was the Pirate Captains themselves, no one wanted to be the unfortunate person that would serve as a warning to others.
The Code of the Blue Sea was just that Harsh in its terms and oath.
However, that did not mean that people could not be foolish from time to time.
In Commander Half Bra's experience of things, the only time that pirates were so willing to risk death was when it came to a particular thing.
And that was Treasure.
The Hunt for Treasure was the blood that pumped in heart of every Pirate's passion for the sea.
A pirate could literally die for treasure. It was the most important aspect of becoming a pirate.
The Greater the treasure, the greater the risk that the pirate is willing to take. If Commander Tender eyes was willing to take such risks to disobey the Code of the blue sea, then there was no doubt that this treasure must be a great one.
"What treasure is Commander Full Bra helping the merchants to find?" Commander Half Bra asked the young girl. However, her strength was little and she passed out. The Pirate women immediately sort to help the girl.
Just while Commander Half Bra was wondering what to do, she heard a low laughter that came from behind her.
She turned and to her surprise, it was the bald man she had fought earlier. He and all the other captured pirates were on their knees.
She walked to him and gave him a good smack on the face.
He spat out some blood. However, he still had that smug look on his face. "I won't tell you anything. But don't worry Pretty thing, Commander Tender eyes will find it. And when he does, he will use it and rule over the fourteen seas."
Commander Half Bra wanted to press forward, but she thought it unwise. She could see that determined look in the man's eyes. She knew that he was really not going to say anything. Pirates were also very tenacious.
The Bald man laughed hysterically.
However, his laughter suddenly froze when he saw someone approaching from behind Commander Half Bra.
It was an old man with a walking stick.
The old man leaned slightly into the walking stick as he approached. He had a bright smile that matched the morning on his face.
However, in the bald man's mind, this was the smile of a demon.
Eros stopped in front of the man. And then he squat low.
Even though he did not intend to hurt the man, the Bald man could not help but lean back in fear.
Apparently, the mind attack that Eros had given earlier, still had its working effects.
"Tell me!" Eros talked slowly and deliberately, "What treasure is..."
"It's an Anchored Stone! It's an Anchor stone." The man immediately spilt out even before Eros finished asking.
And then he coiled himself like a doughnut on the ground. Soon, there was a foul smell in the air.
The Bald man had peed himself.
"An Anchored Stone!?" Commander Half Bra had her eyes wide open in surprise she could not believe what she had just heard.
But she was not the only one. Even the other pirate women looked at one another and whispers soon started.
Eros was new in this world, but deep within the memories of the owner of this body, he found the myth surrounding the Anchored stones.
Well, at least he found a little of it.
The story of the Anchor stones was as old as the Old Golden Empire itself. That too was another myth.
It was something that Eros really did not care to think about at this moment. However, it is said that the Anchored stones were the crown jewels of the Emperor of that Era.
Each one of the Anchored stones had...
