Pirate Invasion

-As the food gaming team finished fighting a crab

Apple Pie: "Hey look! Is that a ghost pirate ship?!"

Apple Pie pointed at a torn up ship. The ship had many holes but it can still move on the sea without sinking. The flag on the ship is a white skull with black as the background colour. The flag is a bit torn up as well. This ship gave the viewers a feel of a ghost pirate ship.

Pineapple Pizza: "Looks like we are fighting against ghost pirates next!"

Pineapple Pizza raised his sword towards the ship.

omelet ketchup rice: "The ship turned and headed this way."

Chips&Fries: "This is not good. We only have 8 people. I can see at least 10 people on deck. There should be more inside the ship."

corn & fish maw soup: "What should we do, leader?"

Che Ba Mau: "Retreat! Use magic to destroy the ship while arrows to damage the people on board."

-Meanwhile on the ship

Pirate: "Captain! We found 8 people on the beach."

Captain: "Oh? Then there might be a village nearby. What do the 8 people look like?"

Pirate: "Their equipment looked like most of the normal quality equipment we have seen so far. But after confirmation, it has been confirmed that it is even worse than the worst quality."

Pirate: "All 8 of them are level 18. And also, 5 of them are females."

As soon as that pirate finished reporting, his captain smacked his head with his palm.

Captain: "Are you stupid!? Even at this time, you are thinking about women?"

Captain: "We ran out of food and we need supply immediately. We can play women whenever we want when our supply is safe. But now? Women are food to us! Understood?"

Pirate: "Yes captain!"

If we are in serious danger, I might get killed and be chewed to the bone. The pirate thought and cold sweats started dropping on the back.

Captain: "Order! Follow those people."

Pirate: "Captain! After they saw us are heading that way. They started retreating!"

Pirate: "They started shooting fireballs and arrows at us."

Captain: "Only magic and arrows?"

Pirate: "Yes captain!"

Captain: "Then we are fine! As long as there are no bullets coming this way, our ship won't sink."

Captain: "Even if it started sinking, just jump off and swim towards them."

Captain: "Make sure not to kill them. They might be heading back to their village. Then we will follow them to their village."

Pirate: "Yes captain!"

-Back to food gaming team point of view

Chips&Fries: "Our magics and arrows had no effect on the ship. They were all blocked by the pirates."

Che Ba Mau: "Keep retreating! We can't sink the ship then give up attacking until the pirates come down."

corn & fish maw soup: "Got it."

Then the 8 food went into the forest.

Not long later, the torn up ship arrived on the beach. Multiple rope came off from the ship. Then multiple pirates went down the ship from the rope.

Pirate: "Captain! Our targets went into the forest! Do we follow them?"

Captain: "Move the remaining supply off the ship! And send a group to follow the targets! Make sure do not kill them until you see a village nearby! Understood?"

Pirates: "Yes! Captain!"

Pirate: "What about the ship? Captain?"

Captain: "Sigh, old buddy, bye."

Captain: "It's too damaged. It's better to build a new one."

Captain: "Is it all here?"

Pirates: "Yes captain!"

Captain: "Good! Carry these supplies! We will follow our targets and plunder their village!"

Pirates: "Ooo!"

…

Pirate: "Come over here, girl!"

corn & fish maw soup: "No."

corn & fish maw soup shot three arrows rapidly towards the pirate. One arrow missed, one arrow blocked, one arrow dodged.

Chips&Fries: "Fireball."

Pirate: "Woah girl, casting fire magic in forest will result forest fire."

Chips&Fries: "Forest fire will delay your actions."

Pirate: "Ho, you thought it was that easy?"

The pirate used his cutlass to cut the fireball in half. The fireball disappeared completely.

Pirate: "My cutlass can block magic effectively. For low level magic casters like you aren't even my match!"

Apple Pie shot an arrow towards that talking pirate. He jumped backwards to dodge the arrow.

Che Ba Mau: "Retreat back to the base first! Don't fight for long!"

The pirates heard their conversation and looked at each other with joy and greed.

Pineapple Pizza: "By the way, aren't the NPCs in this game had like super high intelligence?"

Carolina Reaper: "It is super realistic."

omelet ketchup rice: "Yup, they felt like real humans."

…

Pineapple Pizza: "Huff, huff… I have never felt this amount of pressure before."

Healthy Mushroom: "So this is how the criminal feels when the polices pursued the criminals."

Che Ba Mau: "Rest well. Me, soup, rice and mushroom will guard the first 3 hours. The rest guard the last 3 hours. Once rest up, move immediately."

-On the pirate side

Pirate: "They began resting."

Captain: "Send a group of people to keep watch. Make sure they never leave our sight. We will camp here today."

Pirates: "Yes! Captain!"

-A few days later

Carolina Reaper: "Did you guys noticed that those pirates didn't kill us."

Pineapple Pizza: "Yup, I think they want us to bring them to our base."

omelet ketchup rice: "No matter what, they will be surrounded there."

omelet ketchup rice: "That place is our respawn area after all."

omelet ketchup rice smiled with confident.

And at this time, all players received a system reminder.

"System reminder: Zorro's pirate army raid will arrive player base in 24 game hours."

Apple Pie: "Oh! Raid event!"

Healthy Mushroom: "Looks like our leader's choice is quite good."

corn & fish maw soup: "Of course."

…

unknown: "Hey, wanna suicide and go back?"

Abigail first looked at the system reminder then turned her head and gazed at unknown, only seeing madness and greed hidden deep in his soulless eyes

Abigail: "You only want my stuff in my temporary storage."

unknown: "Tsk, even if I do, so what."

unknown shrugged as if his plan was found out.

unknown: "I am only asking you. And you just thought that I want your stuff in your storage. You are not cute anymore, Abigail."

unknown stared at Abigail like a cursed ghost who wants to tear down everything.

Abigail: "Pfft, don't joke. We already knew what each other are like within these times."

Abigail ignore the pressure admitted in unknown's eyes. unknown saw this situation and decided to skip this topic.

unknown: "So I am guessing you are following me to Debashakala?"

Abigail: "Yup."

Abigail: "By the way, this game really needed a fast travel function. The map is too huge."

unknown: "Agreed."

About one game day later, the pirates arrived to the player base. The first time NPCs visiting player base in this world. Although their intentions are not quite friendly.

Zorro: "Charge!"

Pirates: "Ooooooo!"

Even with excellent battle state, and higher levels. The pirate side is in a losing position. One reason being pirate side has less people compare to the player side, about 200 pirates to 1000 players. Another reason is that players can respawn, but the pirates cannot.

-At pirate captain, Zorro's side

Shadow: "You are the pirate captain named Zorro, right?"

Zorro looked at this man, but he couldn't remember where he saw it. But it didn't matter what his reply is.

Zorro: "Yes I am."

Shadow: "I like fighting strong enemies. Teammates, don't allow other players or pirates disturbing our battle."

Behind him, 4 players were on watch out.

Cactus Head: "Sigh, Shadow's battle junkie mode turned on again. Fine."

Catnip: "I will support you!"

Lunch Box nodded.

Central Center: "If leader agreed, then I have nothing to say."

Lunch Box: "We begin once Shadow lost."

Shadow: "Haha! Not today!"

Then Shadow ran towards Zorro quickly. Shadow used minimum stamina to move as quick as possible. Zorro saw the speed of Shadow and quickly realized to block the attack.

*Ting*

The cutlass and the knife contacted with each other. But Zorro's power is much stronger than Shadow. The cutlass dropped towards Shadow quickly. Shadow moved his body a little bit. And he moved the angle of his knife then used a little more strength. The cutlass sliced the side of Shadow. If Shadow's position went left even 1 cm, He would have been cut open.

Central Center: "Every time I see Shadow's fighting. My heart is going to pound out."

Catnip: "Right."

While the cutlass was falling, Shadow moved again. Shadow stepped closer to Zorro. Zorro saw the knife is about to cut open his neck. He raised his left arm naturally to block the attack. Shadow's blade cut open left arm, resulting a medium size wound.

Shadow didn't stop his movement after cutting open Zorro's left arm. He quickly turned his body and turned towards Zorro. He looked like a snake climbing up a tree. Shadow immediately sliced open Zorro's neck and quickly stab Zorro's head with his knife using his right hand. While Shadow's left hand pulled out another knife to stab Zorro's heart.

After doing those actions, Shadow jumped backwards while pulling out the knifes immediately. Zorro's durability went from 100% to 98% because of the would on left arm, then quickly drop to 0. A level 101 NPC boss died to a level 23 player within 3 seconds just like that.

Shadow: "I thought it is going to be another hard battle. But he is too weak. I haven't even used my full power yet. I am quite disappointed."

Cactus Head: "It is because you are too strong!"

Catnip: "Yeah, how is that humanly possible?"

Lunch Box nodded to express his acknowledge towards Shadow's battle technique.

Shadow: "Boring, I am heading back."

Then Shadow headed towards the player base.

Central Center: "Tsk, that guy. Let's compete who kill the most pirates!"

Then Central Center took off too. Lunch Box shook his head. Then he looked at Cactus Head and Catnip.

Lunch Box: "Let's go."
