War

Taking the pitch-black apple and the green pear out from her desks drawer, Mizuki took them out and tried to complete the set.

[Reward chosen: Completion of set.]

[Generating..]

Suddenly, a purple and pink coloured light shot down from the sky.

In the pillar of light, a fruit materialized in the air. When the light dissipated the fruit fell right onto Mizuki's palm.

'A peach.' Mizuki thought as she looked at the 'fruit' in her hand.

The 'peach' seemed to be made of glass as it was reflective and had swirls of white pink and purple energies within it.

Mizuki inspected the item.

[Peach of Chaos - 1/3]

Mizuki retrieved the two other fruits from the system and appraised them together.

[Fruits of the New World - 3/3]

A sudden notification sprang out in front of every resident in this world.

[The Fruits of the New World have been uncovered and gathered.]

[Next phase of planet 1738 will now commence.]

[Congratulations to entities Chaos, Gaia and Thanatos.]

Seeing a mixture of dark purple, neon green, light pink, pitch black and bright white colours rain down from the sky onto the three fruits, Mizuki felt that something was horribly wrong.

Quickly trying to grab the fruits and stop whatever was happening from happening, Mizuki was only fast enough to grab a single fruit, the peach.

Feeling a tremendous pull on it as it was slowly rising into the sky, Mizuki only had one choice left to stop it.

She had a glint in her eyes as she bit down on the peach.

The glass peach broke and the energy swirled out. It was mana. A massive, massive amount of mana.

Before it could blow her away, Mizuki took another bite before shoving the entire thing down her throat.

Feeling her insides burn, she collapsed on the floor.

She had yet to realize that surrounding her heart was now a peach-shaped container.

Mana flowed strongly within her as Mizuki was just about ready to faint.

She heard the door to her quarters being kicked down and a few yells from her crew.

Some generic yells like 'What is going on?!' and 'What the hell!' all the way to 'Captain!' and 'Are you okay!?'.

Although it was simple and lacked anything unique, it would still be enough to put a smile on Mizuki's face. If only she had not cursed herself, ay?

When the glass around her heart strengthened yet again, there was now a swirl of pink energy flowing around her heart.

After the glass had finished its strengthening, notifications sprang out. Not for Mizuki but for everyone except her.

[Entity Mizuki has gained [Divinity] as the current hoast of [Chaos].]

[Seeking employment from entity Mizuki is recommended to everyone not possessing a divinity.]

Right at this time, Mizuki could finally start relaxing a little as the heat within her reduced.

Checking her status, she noticed that her mana was now in the.... about.. 20 digits?

Mizuki then received a notification right in front of her status screen before she could check anything else.

[Due to severe lack in strength, the [Chaos Divinity] will be sealed.]

Right at this moment, Mizuki heard yells and screams from people not belonging to her crew.

Looking outside through her now broken door, Mizuki saw 8 ships sailing towards their location.

Focusing on some of the yells outside, Mizuki stood up as she heard.

"It's the Pirate Lords! Sail for it!"

"Gooo!"

"*Crying*"

"Stop the f*cking crying and sail you land-loving ho*e!"

'The Pirate Lords?' Mizuki thought.

'Must be because of Tana.'

Stumbling to her broken door, Mizuki held her chest, the pain near her heart had yet to completely disappear.

Looking around, she saw a familiar face on a familiar ship right next to her own.

'Hinami..'

Hinami was currently staring at the 8 approaching ships with anger in her eyes.

"Oi, Hinami."

Mizuki spoke.

"!"

Hinami had just realized Mizuki and her current state.

"Si-"

"Not sisters. Don't have time so tell me about the pirates approaching us."

"Ah.. right right."

"Anytime now."

"Right! Uhh. Well, those guys aren't actually the 'real' Pirate Lords. They were killed nearly a hundred years ago. I am currently the last one alive, if any of the others were still alive I could sense their presence on the sea after all. Anyway, those phonies built a big crew and killed me while using my ship's curse and my crew's souls to power themselves up enough to kill the previous lords. My guess is that they succeeded and took their titles and ships. At most.. they are level 480. But they are far from the last Pirate Lords in terms of strength, before part of my soul was absorbed by them I was nearing level 700, the others were above me and we all had the same blessing of the Sparrow. The only reason I presume we lost is that due to the blessing we didn't have a single esper ability between any of our crews. Only the Lords. They were really rare back in the day after all."

"Most of that was useless."

"S- sorry."

"Most. Not all. I presume that they all have esper ability users and the like?"

"Yes. And good swordsmen too."

"Any important magic users in their ranks?"

"It has been nearly a hundred years or so. I don't know the composition of their crew."

"Well, it's good enough for now."

Mizuki took a moment to think.

"You gather all those who wish to fight. I'll set traps and produce some weapons."

"Why do you have to fight? I mean... I would fight them either way because they killed my childhood friends but you don't have anything to do with this do you?"

"They are most likely here for me. I did kill Tana and I won't run from fights."

'I have to get strong enough to use my Divinity after all.'

Hinami looked upon Mizuki with reverence.

"Got it! I'll go gather everyone!"

Hinami ran off to the top of her ships crows nest and started an inspirational speech that would bring tears to your eyes.

But Mizuki had already left and she is the main character for now so too bad :)

Mizuki teleported into the air and started setting up magic traps in the water and air.

A war was starting. One that would end in over 10 years.
