"Uh..."
Diogo groaned in pain and could no longer hold himself up, falling backward onto the ground. His head rested against the wooden bed, exposing his sun-darkened neck.
Diego sneered, raising the scimitar high, ready to hack at the neck.
"Bang!"
Bruno drew his dagger and blocked the scimitar with a swift motion.
"Diego, what are you doing!"
"Humph, what does it look like? I'm going to kill him!"
"We agreed, the captain cannot be killed, only imprisoned!"
Bruno roared in anger.
"We still need him to command the other two ships!"
"Right, we can't kill the captain!"
Carpenter Ivo wielded a shortsword in one hand, and oddly enough, held a shield in the other—something rarely seen on the ship. It was likely he had made it himself.
"Diego, spare the captain's life for now!"
Matim's eyes flickered for a moment, also speaking up to persuade.
"Humph!"
Diego resentfully sheathed the scimitar and then suddenly lifted his foot, viciously kicking Diogo in the stomach.
