Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 18 Bring the boat closer!

On the sea, the skull and crossbones flag, emblazoned with scarlet claws, flutters in the cold wind.

The pirate ship was predominantly dark and oppressive. Although it was only half the size of Lambert's merchant ship, it had large magic arrays on both sides that provided powerful propulsion, making it extremely fast, like a giant black fish darting across the surging waves.

On the deck, a group of strangely dressed pirates with fierce expressions stood, their blades gleaming with a cold light.

Lambert was terrified at just one glance at the pirate ship, and the champagne he had just opened slipped from his hand and spilled out with a hissing sound.

"Quick! Quick! Speed ​​up the boat! Shake them off!" he shouted in alarm.

Although the pirate ship, powered solely by magic, was far faster than his "Wind Demon" hybrid single-masted sailing ship.

However, when people are in a state of extreme panic, they will always subconsciously choose to avoid risks.

Even if doing so is completely useless.

"Yes, Captain!"

The merchant ship operator understood this perfectly well, but he still pushed the lever hard, extending the power to its maximum.

Just as he was about to turn the ship around, the mage with the Black Pheasant Legs stopped him:

"Hey! Don't be a coward running away from the battlefield! Isn't that why you entrusted us, Black Pheasant's Leg, to this situation?"

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the crew, "Simp Number One" shouted, "What's there to be afraid of mere pirates? Move the ship closer!"

Are you trying to boost morale this way?

Sitting under the parasol, Chase casually tossed a piece of pastry into his mouth, his impression of this sycophantic mage with black pheasant feet somewhat changed.

Of course, that's all.

A seemingly confident to the point of arrogance and mindless remarks can sometimes be inspiring, and might be particularly effective in the clashes between pirates.

but……

The ship they are on now is a merchant ship, and most of the people on board are ordinary workers who don't have much guts!

"Are you kidding me! Do you want us to have a direct confrontation with those pirates?!"

As expected, Captain Lambert was startled by his outrageous remarks and quickly went over to grab the number one sycophant by the collar, his beer belly bouncing excitedly.

He just wanted to escape.

Although it was a bit humiliating, compared to the pale-faced crew members huddled in the corner trembling with fear, he was doing quite well as the captain.

"Mr. Lambert, please calm down. Leave the fighting to us. You just need to stay in the cabin."

Ina, the female mage with fiery red short hair, immediately stepped forward to calm Lambert down, while raising her slender, white finger and pointing in the direction where the pirates had appeared.

The pirate flag fluttered in the wind, and in just a few dozen seconds, the pirate ship appeared at the stern of the merchant ship, with the two ships only a few hundred meters apart!

"It's over, it's over..."

Hearing the pirates' freakish and maniacal cries, Lambert's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, his fat face filled with despair.

Seeing this, Ina did not hesitate and loudly relayed the instructions to the crew around her.

"Those who can still move, quickly move everyone else to the cabin. Don't worry, we will definitely protect your safety!"

As Ina was arranging the crew, she caught a glimpse of Chase leisurely eating pastries out of the corner of her eye.

Why is this guy so calm? Is he scared out of his wits? Why isn't he moving away?

Or is it that he's not afraid at all?

The situation was urgent, and Ina didn't have time to think things through. Instead, she looked at her two teammates with a serious expression.

"Dassan, Buccaneer, prepare to fight these pirates with me! We absolutely cannot let them set foot on this ship!!"

"learn!"

After all, they were in the same team, so their teamwork was naturally excellent.

They understood each other's thoughts with just a glance, and quickly headed to the stern while spreading out their formation, maintaining one in front and two behind.

They were there to stop the pirates and protect the people and cargo on the merchant ships from harm!

The moment the three of them took their positions, the sound of machinery turning began to emanate from the stopped pirate ship's turret.

A dark purple magic circle lit up, and the dark cannon muzzle continuously accumulated energy, causing a violent gust of wind that stirred up the surrounding sea.

It was a small magic cannon, aimed directly at the merchant ship's magic sail!

"Dassan, I'll buff you up, please, block this attack!"

"Bookelvin, prepare to counterattack the pirates!"

Ina instantly realized the pirates' intentions.

The magic sails are the core power source of merchant ships. If they are damaged, the ships will become lambs to the slaughter!

Thinking of this, she raised her arms, palms facing Dasha Niu, the same Dasha Niu who had previously put Chase's mind at ease.

"Added Armor Power!"

With a low shout from Ina, two magic circles were created, covering Dasha's body with a thick layer of light.

Oh? You're an Enhancement Mage?

Chase, who was sitting not far away watching the melon, was a little surprised. He raised his eyelids and looked at Ina, whose fiery red short hair was swaying in the wind.

Compared to the ubiquitous fire magic, enchantment magic is much rarer and can cast supportive special spells on a specific character.

Unfortunately, the magic power is too low, so the attribute boost is quite limited...

Chess sighed softly and turned his gaze to Dasha as she twisted her body.

The guy's short-sleeved shirt and overalls had burst open from his bulging muscles, revealing his strong and muscular physique.

It likely uses superhuman strength magic, which is similar to close-combat magic.

So why wear overalls if you have this fighting style?

Isn't it a complete waste of money spent on clothes...?

Even fools like Natsu and Gray know to take their clothes off beforehand!

Chase silently cursed in his heart and continued to look at the last member of the team.

Bock Levine swiftly unfastened the iron box on his back and pulled out a magic sniper rifle.

Using the magic circle on the scope, he held his breath and made constant adjustments, locking onto the pirate captain sitting behind the pirates.

To catch the thief, first catch the king. As long as we deal with that pirate captain wearing a black top hat, the crisis will naturally be resolved!

Combining melee, ranged, and support capabilities, coupled with decisive, unified decision-making in a short period of time...

No wonder this squad had such blind confidence that they were able to protect the entire ship during the pirate attack.

There's something there.

Unfortunately, there aren't many.

Chase shook his head slightly, looked away, and continued to show off his snacks and desserts.

The captain's appearance perfectly matched Marshall's description, so it was certain that this group was the target of his mission.

When other guilds' A-rank or even S-rank mages encounter them, they all meet an unknown fate.

How could these three mages from a small, run-down guild possibly have a chance of winning?

hum! !

The deep rumble was like the roar of a beast. The pirate ship's magic cannon fired a cluster of lasers that tore through the sea before Buk Levin's sniper rifle could reach it!

"You mere magic cannon? I'll crush you!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the enhanced Dasha leaped high into the air to deliver—no, to forcibly block the attack.

He raised his fist high, the magic circle on it spinning rapidly, and swung it down with incredible ferocity towards the oncoming cluster laser hammer.

Boom!!

After a loud bang, smoke and dust billowed up.

Dasha twisted and lay heavily wounded inside the overturned mast, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and immediately lost the ability to move.

The merchant ship, having lost its power, slowed down drastically and came to a standstill on the sea.
