27: Rule-breaking! Sorry, I'm the administrator!

"Aha—"

The Red-haired Monster yelled, and two tongues of flame shot out from his palms, facing downwards.

He launched himself into the air like a human rocket.

The fire traced an arrogant parabola across the night sky.

Bang!

With a dull thud, the Red-haired Monster's feet slammed heavily onto the deck of ferry no. 0819.

The wooden planks beneath his feet instantly charred black, emitting acrid white smoke.

"Hehehe..."

The Red-haired Monster's laughter was lewd, his eyes glued to Xia Xin's long legs and Xia Lai's deep V-neckline, unable to tear away.

Behind him, several of his underlings, carrying machetes, swung over using the iron chains.

Each of them grinned like Zhu Bajie entering the Silk Web Cave.

"Hahaha! This ship is mine now!"

The Red-haired Monster pointed at Chen Du's nose, saliva flying everywhere: "What? Scared silly? Weren't you trying to recruit me just now?"

Chen Du didn't move.

"Yes, I did want to recruit you."

Chen Du slowly wiped his hands. "Just now, I asked if you wanted to join. Do you remember what you said?"

The Red-haired Monster froze, then laughed even more wildly: "Ha? What I said was a question! A question, understand? I think a donkey must have kicked your brain..."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Du interrupted him. "What matters is that you responded to my invitation."

He turned to look at Li Yaozhi beside him, grinning mischievously: "Study Committee Member, what did that divination say again?"

Li Yaozhi's face was pale, and she gritted her teeth: "Great fortune!"

"Very good."

Chen Du happily snapped his fingers.

The next second, his dark eyes were covered by golden data streams.

[Captain's Authority Activated]

[Detected crew member's intention to insult and attack the Captain.]

Chen Du slowly raised his hand, and facing the bewildered Red-haired Monster, he softly uttered four words:

"Immediate expulsion!"

Buzz—!

Without warning.

A dazzling, blinding golden light membrane suddenly rose from the deck and slammed into the Red-haired Monster.

"Wha...what the hell is this?!"

The Red-haired Monster didn't even have time to scream before he was rapidly flung away!

With a jolt of the light membrane, he was directly ejected from the ferry.

His body hung in the air.

Below, was the deep sea, dark as ink, churning with an aura of despair.

"Ahhh! Boss, save me—!"

The Red-haired Monster frantically flailed his limbs, flames spewing from his palms, trying to take flight.

Just then, the calm seawater suddenly exploded.

Dozens of slimy tentacles, covered in suckers and barbs, burst out of the water, eagerly coiling around the Red-haired Monster's body!

Creak... The Red-haired Monster didn't even let out a second scream before he was twisted into a pile of minced meat.

The tentacles were not satisfied; they instantly retracted into the deep sea, pulling the minced meat with them.

On the sea surface, only a spreading dark red bloodstain remained, along with a few gurgling blood bubbles.

Instant kill.

This was a dimension-reducing strike from the rule level.

The sea wind howled, and a deathly silence fell over both ships.

The pirates, who had just been clamoring for a feast, now had their eyes practically popping out.

"This...this is sorcery?!"

"Boss! Wh-what do we do?"

Meanwhile, on ferry no. 0819.

The girls, who had been panicking, now looked at Chen Du's back with eyes full of shock and adoration.

This was their Captain.

In a flurry of words, a powerful enemy was turned to ash.

"See!" Chen Du spread his hands, shouting at the petrified Blood Hand opposite him, "I told you, if you want to join us, you have to follow the rules. The consequence of defying me is very severe!"

"Do you still want to continue, Baldy?"

At the bow of the opposite ship.

Blood Hand's face had twisted into a purplish-red.

He was dead.

The Red-haired Monster was his only ranged talent user, and he had been inexplicably fed to the fish!

"You... are... courting... death!!" Blood Hand roared to the sky.

Crack crack crack—

Blood Hand's bronze skin rapidly withered, and the next moment, it turned into hard granite!

He swelled up by a circle, transforming into a two-meter-tall Rock Giant.

[Talent: Petrification, B-rank]

"Lads! All out attack!!"

Blood Hand stomped heavily on the deck, and the enemy warship, under his immense strength, shifted sideways again, fiercely pressing against the side of ferry no. 0819.

"That pretty boy is the Captain! Don't waste words with him! Take him down directly!!"

"Leave those long-legged girls for me! The rest are yours!!"

As their boss broke down, the pirates' eyes also turned bloodshot.

"Kill!"

More than twenty desperadoes charged over using grappling hooks and the gangplank connecting the two ships.

This time, there was no rule protection.

"Tang Ran!"

Chen Du took a step back, his voice cold.

"Here!"

Tang Ran, who could no longer hold back, roared.

Her corpse king bracer on her wrist seemed alive, black vein-like patterns spreading up her arm, quickly covering half her face.

Her wild face became even more hideous and demonic.

"Big guy! You seem pretty durable!"

Tang Ran took two running steps, and like a cannonball, she slammed into Blood Hand.

Boom—!!

Flesh and blood clashed with granite.

A shockwave erupted, shattering several wooden crates nearby.

Tang Ran stumbled back three steps, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, but the excitement in her eyes grew even more fanatical: "Awesome! So satisfying! Again!!"

And the Rock Giant, Blood Hand, was actually knocked back half a step by that punch, cracks appearing in the rock layer on his chest.

"This woman... what immense strength!" Blood Hand was shocked.

But he was, after all, a veteran survivor, extremely rich in combat experience.

"Bone Snake! Take your men and go around! First, capture those useless women as hostages to disrupt that kid's mind!"

Blood Hand roared, then lunged at Tang Ran again, his stone fist smashing down with wind pressure.

In the crowd.

A man as thin as a bamboo pole gave a sinister smile.

His body twisted strangely, and several stark white bone spurs protruded from his spine.

[Talent: Bone Hyperplasia (C-rank)]

"Hehehe... little beauties, big brother is here."

Bone Snake avoided the main battlefield and, with several henchmen wielding sharp blades, plunged into the group of girls.

"Ah—!!"

"Don't come over!!"

The girls immediately fell into a chaotic mess.

Terrified screams rose and fell.

Although Li Yaozhi tried her best to remain calm, gripping a watermelon knife, her trembling wrist betrayed her fear.

"Is this... the real world?"

She watched a pockmarked pirate, grinning hideously, reach out for the skirt of a girl nearby.

Rip!

The expensive Chanel haute couture suit was torn open, exposing her thigh.

"Help! Captain!" The girl, terrified, collapsed to the ground, crying out in despair.

Pfft!

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed.

Xia Mo, wearing a tight leather suit, emerged like a ghost from the shadows.

The dagger in her hand had already slit the pirate's throat.

Blood gushed out, splashing all over the girl.

"Don't scream! Retreat if you don't want to die!" Xia Mo's voice was cold, and her face was not looking good.

Because there were too many enemies, and most of her side were helpless girls.

And... Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two stark white bone spurs flew through the air!

Xia Mo's pupils contracted, and her body instinctively performed an extreme dodge.

But to protect Ye Qiu behind her, her left arm was still grazed by a bone spur.

The leather suit ripped, and blood stained the leather.

"Little sister, good moves, but unfortunately... you have to carry a burden?"

Bone Snake licked his lips, his Bone Blade swirling like wind, tightly entangling Xia Mo.

He was a C-rank talent, and a specialized combat type.

Although Xia Mo had high burst damage, her awakening time was short, and her combat experience was insufficient, so she was steadily pushed back.

"Damn it..."

From above, Xia Xin's recurve bow was trembling.

She shot an arrow through a henchman's chest.

But the next second, more pirates charged forward.

The defense line collapsed.

These pirates were like a pack of wolves smelling blood, savagely tearing at this ferry laden with beautiful women.

"Wahhh! Don't come over! I told you not to come over!!"

In the corner, An Nuonuo screamed with her eyes closed.

Her adorable first-love face was covered in snot and tears.

A lecherous man was lunging at her with open arms.

At that very instant.

An Nuonuo instinctively extended both hands and pushed forward fiercely.

The air was compressed to its limit, then exploded!

The lecherous man was like he had been hit head-on by an invisible truck; his body flew back over ten meters, slamming hard into the opposite ship's cabin, unable to be pried off.

Air Cannon?!

The surrounding pirates were stunned.

This little loli, who seemed the easiest to bully, was actually a heavy artillery user?!

"Nuonuo! Keep going! Blast them to death!" Ye Qiu shouted, grabbing a bottle of alcohol and, regardless of its effectiveness, splashing it directly at the charging enemies.

Although the girls began to resist, the situation continued to deteriorate.

The disparity in strength was too great.

Tang Ran was sent flying by a punch from Blood Hand, slamming heavily into the railing, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

"Cough cough... Damn it... this Rock Man... is really tough..."

Blood Hand stepped over Tang Ran, his eyes fixed on Chen Du, who was standing at the bow giving orders.

"Pretty boy, have you used up all your trump cards?"

Blood Hand grinned menacingly, approaching step by step, "Your women, your ship, I'll take them all!"

"Next, I will play with them one by one in front of you, to let you know what true despair is!"

At this moment.

The deck was a mess.

Cries, shouts of battle, and the sound of blades entering flesh intertwined.

An aura of despair enveloped everyone.

However.

Facing the relentlessly advancing powerful enemy, Chen Du remained unfazed.

He chuckled softly, "In my dictionary, there's only 'transaction'."

He lowered his head.

His gaze fell to his feet.

Zhou Qian was huddled there, trembling and clutching her head.

Her tattered maid outfit could no longer cover anything, and her body was covered in dirt and bloodstains from the chaos.

Feeling Chen Du's gaze, Zhou Qian looked up, her eyes full of fear: "Cap... Captain... don't kill me... I don't want to die..."
