Inside the Zoldyck family's small amusement park, a female butler was accompanying little Milluki as he played.
"I'm digging..."
Little Milluki held a toy excavator in his hand, scooping up a mound of fine sand from the ground and dumping it back into the sand.
"Not fun..."
After playing for a while, little Milluki frowned. In the curious gaze of the female butler, he disassembled the excavator and a remote-controlled toy car beside it, randomly scattering the components on the sand in front of him.
"Young Master Milluki, what are you doing?"
The female butler crouched down, looking at him assembling the different toy components together, and asked with a smile.
"Modifying."
Little Milluki glanced at her, his chubby little hands picking up the toy car's components, trying them one by one.
"Whoosh~!"
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed overhead, stirring up a gust of wind, blowing up a large amount of fine sand and leaves.
"An eagle!"
Little Milluki sat in the sand, looking up at the sky, his fair and chubby little finger pointing at the giant black eagle soaring in the sky.
"An eagle?"
"This... it's too big!"
The female butler also looked up at the black eagle soaring in the sky, a drop of cold sweat dripping down her forehead. She sensed a terrifying pressure from that black eagle.
In the courtyard behind the mansion, Silva and Kikyo sat on the grass, drinking tea and resting.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Silva's eyebrows furrowed, and Kikyo's movements in washing the tea paused as she asked.
"What's wrong?"
Silva didn't speak, only looking up at the sky. Kikyo, out of curiosity, also looked up at the sky.
"Boom!"
A huge shadow swept across the sky above the courtyard.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
A strong wind blew across the grass, stirring up waves of green.
"Dad, I'm leaving."
Illumi's voice echoed from above. Silva and Kikyo both gazed at the giant black eagle flying further and further away, their eyes filled with surprise.
On the back of the black eagle, Illumi looked at the shrinking forest and Kukuroo Mountain below. The giant eagle flew higher and higher, soon reaching above the clouds.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Above the clouds, the sky was clear, deep, and the air crisp.
White clouds formed various shapes, like continuous mountain ranges or towering snow-capped peaks, one on top of the other.
"Boom!"
Illumi, riding the giant eagle, flew past above the clouds. The light air was disturbed, and white clouds, like waves in the sea, began to sway and roll frantically.
"At this speed, it would only take 26 hours to reach Padokea Republic from Yorknew City."
"Of course, that's assuming it doesn't slow down and maintains full-speed flight."
Illumi sat on the giant eagle's back, his eyes transforming into golden Eagle Eyes, observing the continent below.
Even from ten thousand meters above sea level, Illumi could clearly see the various animals and transportation tools moving on the ground.
"If I keep going at full speed, the consumption of Ren will increase a lot. I should lower the altitude a bit."
Illumi sensed the rate at which his Ren was being consumed, deciding to reduce the speed to half of full speed.
After all, even with his amount of Ren, he couldn't maintain full-speed flight for 24 hours continuously. If he halved the flying speed, his continuous flight time could increase threefold.
"Let's lower the altitude."
Illumi controlled the giant eagle to lower its flight altitude. The air above the clouds was too cold, and even his constitution couldn't withstand staying there for a long time.
"Beep..."
At this moment, Illumi's phone vibrated in his chest. Illumi took out his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
However, after the phone was connected, all that could be heard was the fierce sound of wind.
"Troublesome."
Illumi complained softly, a large amount of shadow energy flowing from his body, forming a hemispherical black sphere, sealing off everything around him except for a "skylight" above.
"Illumi, is there something wrong?"
The sound of wind disappeared, and he asked.
"Huh? Can you hear me now?"
Illumi on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. That continuous, fierce wind sound had been torturing his ears quite a bit.
"I say... you're not flying in the sky, are you?"
Illumi's eyelids drooped, his mouth slightly open, wearing a speechless expression.
Recalling what his father had told him earlier, that Illumi had flown off on a giant eagle.
"Mm."
Illumi replied softly. Fortunately, he had lowered the altitude; there was no signal ten thousand meters above sea level.
"Is that your Nen ability?"
"An ability to fly, I'm so envious. You don't even need to take a slow-moving transportation like an airship."
"Even the efficiency of carrying out assassination requests will increase a lot."
Illumi complained to him over the phone. In a way, Illumi was also a workaholic.
"Oh, that's right."
"The client and target information has been sent to you, please receive it."
"That's all."
He ended the call very decisively. Illumi operated his phone to open the email.
"Nancy Nicolette, a pirate?"
Illumi looked at the target information in the email. Moreover, she was a female pirate, a pirate leader with hundreds of subordinates.
They frequented the seas connecting the continents of Chimera and the Ozma Federation, which people called the Chaotic Triangle Zone.
These pirates robbed and kidnapped various ships traveling back and forth between the various small countries within the Triangle Zone.
"From here to the Chimera Continent's Triangle Zone, even with continuous flight, without resting for a single second, it will take two days to reach."
"I'd better take an airship."
Illumi accelerated, lowered altitude, and flew toward the nearest city.
He now truly experienced all the benefits of an airship. Airships were indeed very slow, but their advantage lay in their convenience and comfort.
You could sleep in the room whenever you wanted, drink whatever you wanted in the bar, and there was a restaurant, where you could eat whatever you wanted. They were very suitable for long-distance flights.
Unlike now, he was sitting on the giant eagle's back, without even a sip of water to drink.
An hour later, Illumi boarded an airship heading to southern Chimera Continent.
Chimera Continent, the sea two hundred nautical miles west of the Chaotic Triangle Zone.
"Woo woo woo..."
On a luxurious yacht, a group of people knelt on the ground, shaking their heads and wailing "woo woo woo." Their hands were tied behind their backs, and their mouths were taped shut.
There were ten people in this group. They looked at the pirates standing before them, their eyes filled with pleading.
"Boss, we've really caught a flock of fat sheep this time."
A lean man with a black bandana tied around his head stood in front of a hostage, using the AK-47 in his hand to lift the hostage's chin, and grinned.
His skin was tanned black by the sun, and coupled with his wiry physique, he resembled a black monkey.
"Shut your damn mouth!"
A domineering female voice came from among the pirates, making the wiry monkey shudder. He closed his mouth and quickly stepped aside, clearing a path.
"Tap..."
A black-haired woman wearing denim shorts and a black tank top, and combat boots, walked out from the pirates. She had beautiful features, a hot figure, and healthy tanned skin.
Hidden beneath her hot exterior was a domineering aura. If she were in a society with a peaceful country, there would likely be countless men willing to kneel down and lick her toes.
She was the leader of this group of pirates, Nancy Nicolette.
"Fat sheep."
She came in front of the hostage, crouched down, and slowly ran her fingers over the other's cheek, sliding down her neck, over her collarbone, and then toward her cleavage.
"Woo woo..."
The hostage was also a beautiful woman, a blonde beauty. At this moment, her eyes were filled with pleading and fear.
"Glurp..."
Many pirates looked at that beautiful figure, their cheeks twitching slightly, their throats gurgling.
Don't misunderstand; they didn't covet her body, but rather felt awe, but within that awe, there was also a strong sense of respect.
Nancy was skilled at managing these natives of the Triangle Zone.
First of all, to deal with them, you absolutely couldn't be polite in the slightest. The more ruthless you were, the more they would be convinced.
On the contrary, if you were polite with them, you would instead incite these people's rebellious nature.
In this chaotic sea, life never settled down, and people became pirates every day, and people became fish food every day.
If you wanted to live like a human being here, you had to be ruthless.
Therefore, Nancy often scolded and beat her subordinates, and those who violated the rules she set were also directly shot and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Anyway, there were many people who wanted to be pirates. You could just stroll around any village in the Triangle Zone, and the manpower would be replenished immediately.
Among the ten hostages, there were five men and five women, three of whom possessed model-level figures and beautiful faces.
"Woo woo..."
They knelt on the ground, their mouths "woo wooing," their hearts filled with regret. If only they hadn't come out to play.
But even so, they hadn't expected that they would encounter pirates. This was two hundred nautical miles away from the Triangle Zone.
Logically speaking, ordinary pirates only operated within the Triangle Zone. Especially since the sea area they were in was close to the Kag Continent's territory.
There were Kag Empire naval patrols nearby. How dare these pirates, how dare they be in such a place...
"Rip..."
Just as they were regretting, Nancy tore off the tape on the blonde beauty's mouth and smiled.
"Do you know who we are?"
The blonde beauty first nodded repeatedly, then said.
"I know, I know."
"As long as you can guarantee our safety, we can pay the ransom."
The blonde beauty spoke simply. Knowing that they had been kidnapped by pirates, their goal was definitely ransom. It was better to pay the money than to rely on the Kag Navy to rescue them. It was better to pray for a tsunami to bury these pirates in the sea.
"Very well, 500 million Jenny, and you can leave."
"500 million Jenny?"
The blonde beauty and the other nine breathed a sigh of relief. With only 500 million Jenny, each of their families could afford it. The safety issue was presumably resolved.
"It seems you misunderstood. I mean 500 million Jenny per person."
However, Nancy wore a sinister expression, smiling insidiously.
"Hahahaha..."
The other pirates surrounding the hostages all raised their chins and laughed loudly.
"What a joke!"
"500 million Jenny per person?!"
The blonde beauty's eyes were filled with disbelief, and the others' eyes nearly popped out. 500 million Jenny per person, that would be 5 billion Jenny.
5 billion Jenny, 5 billion Jenny could buy ten of the yachts they were standing on.
"I don't want you to tell me that you can't afford it."
Nancy's expression was cold, her fingertip stroking the blonde beauty's cheek, sending chills down her spine. Looking at the two handguns at her waist, she could only nod in agreement with a dark expression.
"Very well."
Nancy's face revealed a smile again, and she licked the blonde beauty's cheek with her tongue, leaving a trail of saliva, making the blonde beauty shiver.
"Hehe..."
The surrounding pirates, seeing their boss's actions, revealed malicious smiles.
These pirates all knew that their boss liked women, especially pretty women.
It was just that their boss's liking wasn't the kind of liking that ordinary people had, but rather a more exciting kind. If it was too exciting, people would die.
"Take her to my room."
"Yes, Boss!"
Nancy stood up and stepped toward her pirate ship. Two pirates grabbed the blonde beauty's arms, forcibly lifting her and following behind Nancy.
And at this moment, in the sky above this sea, a black giant eagle was soaring.
"It's no wonder Illumi would transfer this request to me. Just finding the target is a troublesome matter."
Illumi stood on the giant eagle's back, his eyes transformed into golden Eagle Eyes, carefully scanning the sea below, searching for pirate ships, or ships hijacked by pirate ships.
"I've searched the entire Triangle Zone. Nearby is the Kag Empire's sea territory."
"These pirates wouldn't dare to rob ships in this sea territory, right?"
Illumi sat back on the giant eagle's back. To find this target, he had searched the entire Triangle Zone, personally investigating almost every ship. Many pirates were fed to the fish, and pirate ships sank.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Illumi's Eagle Eyes observed a yacht intercepted by a pirate ship. With a tremor in his pupils, he clearly saw a hot woman surrounded by many pirates.
"As expected of a woman who's become the leader of a pirate group; she really dares to rob ships in a place like this."
Illumi, through the behavior and performance of those pirates on the deck, determined that the female pirate surrounded by many pirates was his target.
"Let's resolve this as soon as possible. The Company has many things to solve on their end."
Illumi's face broke into a smile, and the giant eagle's wings flapped. With a loud "boom," it swooped down towards the two ships below.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
A strong wind fluttered Illumi's clothes and hair. A layer of transparent aura surged from his body, protecting his skin from being deformed by the wind.
"Tap."
On the yacht's deck, Nancy, who was walking, suddenly stopped, frowning.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Two subordinates, who were holding the blonde beauty, stopped, puzzled.
"I have a feeling... of being pointed at by a gun..."
Nancy's tone was low, standing in place. If someone had good enough eyesight, they could clearly see goosebumps rising on her body.
"A gun?"
The two subordinates, hearing this, couldn't help but look around, and even the blonde beauty did the same.
"But Boss, there's nothing on the sea around us besides us,"
Her two subordinates shrugged, feeling that their boss was being paranoid. There was only an endless ocean on this sea, besides them and these hostages.
"Not on the sea, but in the..."
Nancy seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up at the sky above her, her voice pausing.
"Sky..."
The pirates and hostages on the yacht's deck all looked up, their pupils shrinking, faces filled with disbelief.
What did they see?
A black giant eagle, like a black giant sword, carrying an earth-shattering force, descending from the sky.
"BOOM!!!"
With a loud crash, the entire yacht tilted completely, stirring up dozens of meters of water. Before the people on board could react, the yacht had already capsized.
"Help... help..."
The pirates on the ship screamed, falling into the sea along with the capsized yacht. The hostages who had been tied up also fell into the sea, looking at the surface of the water, sinking into a cold and desperate abyss of darkness.
"Boom!"
The seawater exploded again with a dozen meters of water. The black giant eagle leaped out of the water, carrying two figures on its back. With a flap of its wings, it shot straight into the sky.
