Landon sighed and quickly accepted his fate, even though he wanted nothing more than to choke the bloody system to death.

Why was it trying to make his time in this world hard?

Presently, he had a lot of work to do here in Baymard, not to talk of the fact that he had special guests over.

Additionally, this was the last week of August, meaning he just had 3 more weeks before setting off for his other mission in Deiferus.

According to the system, Julius Tudor would soon die and he had to safely put Henry on the throne.

And that wouldn't be easy, since most of his siblings were all hard nuts to crack.

Funny enough, immediately after that, he had to attend Penelope and Santa's wedding in Carona.

The day Julius died, was just 5 days away from the grand wedding.

The system was trying to kill him here, seeing that he had been robbed of his time.

And now, he had an additional mission before even setting off for the mission in Deiferus.

He could only squeeze family time between the gaps.

But what about his one time for relaxation?

His time was now fixed between family, missions, empire development, and so on.

But what about his vacation time for pure relaxation?

The system was clearly out to get him!

.

When he thought about the fact that he would be journeying to thousands of worlds with this same system, he felt like crying.

He was stuck with this bastard for a very, very, very, long time.

Who could be more pitiful than him?

'Pap!'

He rubbed his face helplessly and gave himself a little spanking on his cheeks to cheer him up.

Feeling a bit better, he hastily entered his time capsule and began writing down all the information that the system had given him about his target.

Of course, those in Terique have provided 60% of information about Marlo Jones, A.K.A The Baker.

So he just blended all the information needed for his mission.

From there he made his way towards the barracks.

He had to show and discuss it all with Lucius and the other military personnels.

And the earlier they got it done, the faster he could start selecting his team who would join him on this mission.

He was in a rush!

He had to carry this mission out fast, before setting out with another team towards Deiferus as well.

So there was no time.

And while he was preparing for his mission, The Baker had other things in mind.

.

--Magoon Island, Found Between Arcadina and Terique--

.

On a large island that belonged to the mighty Pirate organization, 3 main forces/ pirate Captains ruled the islands.

They were all under the top 20 strongest Pirates and had been awarded their own territories to develop their forces even further.

After all, the bigger they were, the more victorious their missions from the organization would be.

The island in itself was a huge one.

At times, one might look at the map and think that it was small.

But just like other Caribbean island countries like Jamaica, The Bahamas and others back on earth, the island itself was big enough to support many others.

That said, not all regions on the island had been used it given out by the organization.

They only gave out 15% of the island to those 3 pirate Captains.

The other 85% were kept for future pirates who performed exceptionally well.

And if any of the pirate Captains on the island died, the land allocated to them would once again belong to the organization and their crew would be absorbed and sent/assigned to different crews or captains.

They could also be sent to the main base in the continent of Morgany or given to new promising pirates as well.

That said, only 15% of the land was in full use, while the other percentage was left as a jungle for exploration and defence against invaders.

No one knew this island more than the pirates, so many who tried to take them down in their own land died without even knowing it.

The sinking swamps and deadly environment showed the invaders that they were dealing with something that was beyond their scope.

The island of Magoon was pirate territory, and not just anyone could waltz in as they damned pleased.

That's why the pirates took turns in setting up traps all over the island.

Plus, they had nature to look out for them as well.

Even though these pirates always looked like they were high off enjoyment, make no mistake, they were always ready for action!

.

Today, the island was lively as always.

Some pirates went deep into the forest to gather fruits and food, while others went to the highest point of the island that gave them a 360-degree view of the place.

Some stood in the west, while others stood on the east of the tall mountain-like structure.

There were people positioned all around it to keep a close watch on the waters for any incoming ships.

Of course back on the pirate territories, many ate, chugged down rum, battled with their swords, arm-wrestled, played instruments, danced, slept drunkenly all over their territories, danced and told exciting adventures as usual.

"It's true I tell ya!

There I was, on the open waters, lying on nothing else but a piece of wood minding my business.

But suddenly, something poked out of the water.

No!

2 things poked out of the water and swam around me in circles

But was I afraid?

Hell no!

I grabbed both things while still laying on the wood.

I grabbed them and lifted them in the air, only to reveal a mighty 2 headed Kown (shark)."

"What?

You lifted them in the air while still lying down?

Then what happened next?

Why are you keeping us in suspense?"

"Hey!

Why are you even asking?

Of course he ripped them apart with his bare hands.

Probably, that's why they call him The Divider!"

"As expected of his strength.

With him in our crew, who would dare go against us?"

(*0*)

.

The younger/newcomer pirates spoke with disguised awe in their eyes.

They clinked their jugs of rum and listened to the stories excitedly.

When would they be able to be as powerful as the divider?"

Many of the new pirates spoke out as they listened to the many takes of the senior pirates in their crew.

One of the senior pirates who had been laying down in the shade lifted his grass hat from hos face and glanced at the overly excited youngsters mysteriously.

"Have any of you ever heard of The Baker?"

Everyone searched their minds and looked at themselves in confusion.

The Baker?

Who was he?
