The barbarian had a lithe physique and a peculiar complexion. Amongst all the humans Von had encounter, this was his first time seeing one with brown skin.
A black robe adorned the barbarians body and his wooly black hair was tied up in a turban. His face was strikingly handsome competing with Von's in terms of looks.
After hauling him back to the yacht, they tied him to a chair and splashed the icy sea water on his face.
"Fuck!!" Hulu screamed as he jolted awake. He took in his surrounding for a brief moment before realizing that he had been captured.
"Shit" He muttered beneath his breath and quietly began thinking of ways to escape his current predicament.
His brain spun into quick analytics action and he came to a conclusion in just a minute. There was no escaping his current predicament, he was totally fucked.
In front of him stood the trio that had raided his home.
'Damn how the fuck do they have a ship, this must be one of the top three raiding parties. It must be the crimson sun pirates. They're the only raiding party with a ship and they are also in charge of migration and trafficking ' Hulu thought, coming to the most plausible conclusion.
He had been kidnapped by pirates. Since he was still alive then that meant that they weren't cannibals, there was still room for negotiations.
"W.. wh.. who are you pe.. people.." He stuttered in a shaking voice. While he was not usually one to show fear, the leader of the trio was definitely a monster, he could feel it. The same presence he felt when his family was slaughtered and captured by raiders was what he now felt emanating from this figure.
"Good question. Where are my manners, Von we forgot to give the gentleman an introduction." Johan said with a light chuckle.
"I'm Johan, the lady here is Maya and my boss over there is Von" Johan continued, introducing them all while also playing along. He could imagine what was going through the barbarians head right now.
"B.. bo.. boss!! " Hulu felt his despair heightening. So the were indeed pirates.
"Johan! you forgot to add peanuts!" Maya spoke with a mischievous smile playing on her lips, she was enjoying the look on the barbarian's face.
However to Hulu that smile was like a demonic grin in his current situation.
Peanuts who had been snuggling on Von's shoulders lifted her head proudly and let out an indignant meow as if to announce it's presence.
"Alright no more kidding, let's get straight to the point... Who are you " Von finally spoke, as straight forward as always.
Hearing his slow but chilling voice, Hulu felt his body quake and shivers ran down his spine multiple times. As expected of the Pirate boss very straight to the point.
"Me? I.. I.. I.." Hulu spluttered like a dying lamp, but still couldn't speak coherently.
"Untie him. He'll probably shit himself in fear if this goes on " Von sighed
"By the way no one told me the barbarians looked so.. different " Maya added.
It was only after hearing that that Hulu noticed the people in front of him did indeed look different from the regular savages and indigenous barbarians, they looked more like outlaws from the mainland instead.
