Everyone looked at the man dressed in all black and quickly glanced through their memories to see if they ever recalled such a person on the scene this entire time.

The Pirates were confused, and so were Lucia and her crew.

The reason why everyone froze was because the minute the man appeared, there was a thick pink smoke surrounding the ships.

It only took 10 seconds for the entire smoke to vanish.

It was too mysterious and somewhat troubling.

So when it cleared out, they looked left and right to understand what was going on.

But then, they heard an ear-piercing scream which brought their attention to the man dressed in black.

Excuse me sure, but who are you?

And where did you come from?

They blinked in conclusion and even tried rubbing their eyes to confirm what they saw.

Did this man just appear out of thin air?

No!

That's not possible!

They weren't children alright?

The man is probably a high ranking assassin who hid his presence this entire time.

As for the pink fog, it might be a fart from a sea creature right?

Some boggles (whales) are pink in colour.

So won't their farts be pink too?

They had heard of this from some other pirates, but they never knew that they would be able to see these pink farts from the sea creatures in person.

Hmm... The smell was really comfortable and was nowhere near as bad as the farts from humans.

Yeah!

That makes sense.

Now all they wondered was who this assassin was, and more importantly, why was he here?

The skin across the assassin's eyes showed that he too was pale-skinned like themselves.

So why would he appear in the ships if these dark-skinned people?

Or could it be that he didn't hide in these ships but stayed in their pirate ships instead?

Was he an assassin out for revenge against one of their crew members?

Judging from the unwrinkled skin around the man's eyes, it was clear that he was a young man.

At this point, many had already come up with a scene where one of the crew members murdered the assassin's family on the sea, and now the assassin trained grew up and tracked his family's murderer for revenge.

If Landon knew their thoughts, he would only say they read too many Baymardian books or watched too many movies.

What sort of dramatic scene were they painting out?

He was here to rescue people, alright?

.

Lucia whose eyes were previously shut in anticipation for what was about to come, only heard a loud but ghastly scream instead.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"

She opened her eyes and was stunned by the scene before her.

She was so dazed that her brain went off for a bit.

Landon looked at her and spoke in Roma.

"I'm here to save you all.

Worry not."

"Saviour!"

Landon was taken aback in confusion from the awe he saw in the young lady's eyes.

Lucia's eyes lit up the second Landon spoke to her in Roma.

She was from the continent of Romain, and they spoke only Roma there.

Meanwhile over here, they spoke an entirely different language that she couldn't understand.

This man appeared from nowhere and could speak Roma.

Plus he said he was here to save them.

Coupled with the overwhelming feeling she had just now, she knew who he was.

Her visions had given her a sense of familiarity with her saviour, so she could tell if he was the real deal or a fake.

Even if someone disguised themselves as him, she would be able to tell the difference.

The minute she yelled saviour, her brothers and the rest of the crew looked at the man and trembled as it dawned on them about his identity.

Who apart from their saviour could appear out of thin air?

"Saviour! Saviour! Saviour!"

Landon & Pirates: "_"

.

'System, you come out now!

What the hell is going on?'

'The system does know the reason for their behaviour, but the host will have to ask them for himself.

All the host has to know is that these people are highly favoured and blessed by several Gods.'

'... System, why is it that your explanation makes me even more confused?'

'The system doesn't know what the host is talking about.'

'Uggh...'

Forget it!

It was better to handle the situation at hand now.

From the moment Landon appeared till now, only 2 minutes and a few seconds had gone by.

The pirates also woke up from their shock.

They called down and realized that this assassin was just a single person, so what was there to worry about?

Heh... Did he want to rescue these people?

No way!

They were their treasures.

Finders keepers pal!

The pirates were red with fury, but Landon's attention was on something else.

And that was keeping all his visitors alive and well.

.

"That's right.

I'm here to save them.

So if a single hair film their head goes missing, then I won't show any of you mercy."

--silence--

The pirates looked at Landon as if they were looking at a fool.

How dare he threaten them?

Did he know who they were?

Their Captain had over 85 ships scattered across the seas, with 2 island bases.

They were one of the fiercest pirates around these parts.

So wasn't he a fool to threaten them?

"Ho?

Brothers, did you hear him?

Apparently, he can take a fleet of 5 down all on his own."

Captain Longbeard sneered at the assassin's idiocy.

"Hmph!

What big words for such a tiny person.

Since you dared to threaten us, then you should be able to back it up right?

Let's start with 200 men first, aye?

Hmhm... That settles it!

200 of you will take him down while the rest will continue dealing with these dark-skinned people.

Remember, don't overly damage the merchandise."

"Eye-eye- Captain!"

"Good!"

Longbeard looked at Landon coldly.

To think that this little imp wouldn't even put him in his eyes.

Even the famous Pirate, Captain Smoke Eyes had to think twice before saying anything to him.

So how dare this twerp undermine him?

If he didn't beat this piece of sh**, then he wasn't the famous Whitebeard!... (Longbeard was the nickname Lucia gave him in her mind.)

He had already decided to capture the bastard and take him to his island base of torture.

No one belittles Whitebeard and gets away with it.

No one!
