War 2

Using a rather big part of her mana, Mizuki threw spells of many different elements far into the sky and deep down to the sea.

Using the space element to stop all mana leakage, she prepared a few hundred daggers and bullets as she appraised the approaching ships.

...

Sitting in the air was a being that had just obtained Divinity. Bullets, knives and balls of metal came into existence all around her, they all had spells etched into them right after. Hundreds of them? No. Thousands.

"How much mana does the beast have?"

"No idea. But there was a massive spike in it a moment ago."

"And then it spread all around this place and disappeared."

The Lords were currently communicating through telekinesis as they prepared for war.

"Are you sure she is the one who killed Tana?"

"Positive. A member of his crew made contact."

"So he is dead. F*ck I had my eye on him too."

"Oh shut it, Samantha. You had your eyes on him for the past century."

"Stop bickering. Let's start questioning the two betraying birds already."

On the ships, there were 2 people of interest.

"I know the strengths of that woman's crew." Maryse said.

"I know the weaknesses of Hinami's crew." Lisa started afterwards.

"Perfect. Now if we get some idiots to listen to our Lucky Lord number 7 here then that's all who will fight us."

...

Teleporting back to the ship, Mizuki arrived right at the end of Hinami's speech.

Hearing how hundreds of Tier 3 and above individuals were erupting in battle aura and screams, Mizuki proceeded to kick anyone she didn't know recognize off her ship.

Mostly just some over the top mercenaries. They were teleported so they should be fine.

"Si-"

"What?"

"I finished rallying everyone up. If I am right then we should outnumber them by about one hundred."

"Okay."

Mizuki then went and gathered her crew.

"Oi."

And they gathered instantly.

'They are going to war because of me. I should seem apologetic to raise morale and trust.'

"Sorry, you're going to war because of me. Tomi go to my quarters and grab a black barrel I placed there. Shigoto you'll be going to the crow's nest to provide cover fire or cover lightning. Natyr, Salon prepare the cannons. Eric, you steer the ship. If possible then don't go into close-range combat, we are stronger in terms of long-range bombardment."

'Did she just apologize? And immediately move on?' Natyr thought.

'Damn,' She concluded, 'that's smart.'

"Got it Cap'n."

"Okay."

*Nod*

"You can count on me."

"And prepare for changes in weather, time, spatial and geographical location."

'What?'

'What?'

'?'

'What?'

"Well? Get to it."

Going to the front of the ship, Mizuki could hear them running to their posts. Well, one was climbing but whatever.

Taking out her weapon from her Inventory, Mizuki held it in her hand while her crew prepared.

'They should know what to do with the barrel of cannonballs.'

Mizuki had actually made some more cannonballs in her free time. When she was sitting on air, she teleported them to her quarters.

Why not the main deck? A speech was happening. Ever seen a speech get disturbed by a teleporting ball of death?

Minutes passed.

They were close.

Close enough for a few spells but that would make them more cautious than they most likely already are.

Waiting a little more, Mizuki could hear all her cannons being loaded.

Now it's only a matter of time.

...

Meanwhile, on the enemies side...

"Come on Lucky number 7!"

"Stop f*cking calling me that!"

"No."

"*Sigh* -Ahem-"

A loud voice could be heard, the seventh Pirate Lord named Seven. Audiokinesis user. Machete wielder.

"-Fair Sanctuary challengers! I am Pirate Lord Seven! Please, hear me!-"

"Thank god he is on our side. His tongue is golden yet sharp as a dagger."

"-We, the remaining Pirate Lords are here for one reason only! To kill the Divinity holder Mizuki Murasaki!-"

Voices could be heard from the ships opposing them. Murmurs.

"-The Chaos Divinity holder will bring death and misery to our humble world and its waters! One of our own, the young and naive Pirate Lord Tana was killed by that very person! The Pirate Lord Tana who had unquenchable kindness to even homeless strangers! He was the weakest of us due to him being heavy on pacifism and that demon killed him!-"

The murmuring grew louder.

"-Why follow the one who obtained the Divinity of Chaos?! The very thing that is more dangerous than death! Hear us people of noble lineage! Join us to kill the one who will undoubtedly end this world if we let her be! If we do not kill her now she will only grow stronger! Do you wish to be oppressed and turned into slaves with your families? Join us and let us kill this foul demon of calamity!-"

'Try this on for size!'

The murmuring grew louder.

...

The murmuring stopped.

Multiple pairs of eyes turned to Mizuki and her crew.

'This is troublesome. If I don't stop this I will actually have to fight 8 people who are all nearly twice my level or more alone to keep casualties in the crew to a minimum.'

Mizuki stood up and teleported to the sky, using [Siren Voice] and Sound magic, Mizuki said with a gentle voice that could calm anyone who listened to it down.

"Please. There is no need for violence, you may sail closer and we can talk this out face to face."

...

"Heh. The b*tch is scared."

"It might be a trap."

"There is no mana fluctuation around her or the surroundings."

"Let's go then. We are all nearly Tier 5. She can't do shit."

And at this moment. A silent notification appeared in every single entities status within the world. The first completely silent notification ever.

[Undergoimg World Evolution... ]

[Loading.. 10%]

...

"-We agree to talk, but we will bring bodyguards.-"

"Feel free to."

'Good. Not going exactly as planned but it should be fine.'

Mizuki silently teleported to each crew member and whispered one word in their ear.

'Prepare.'

This happened in the blink of an eye.

The moment the Lord's ships stopped near them, Mizuki recognized two people. But didn't care.

She also didn't mention them at all.

'They are close enough now.'

Mizuki slowed down time in a large area.

'Time for war.'
