Chapter 14 - chap 14: HAVING FUN

Luno took the letter and wrote thank you, then he asked for a small camera, compared to the camera that had been sold by the public, the Cadwell Family had no shortage of geniuses, one of the family members managed to make a small camera, and now Luno asked for it.

He also wrote down the ritual of calling his messenger, and several other little things.

It didn't take long for the messenger to come back to him and give him a reply letter and a box that he believed was a camera.

Lucine didn't go first and made a small comment "your family is interesting" and turned into a fox with 9 tails and went to the spirit world. Leaving Luno speechless. Luno sighed, and checked his camera.

The design of this camera is not much different from the steam design of today, with a gold finish and some Star decorations that he believes are symbols of the Cadwell family. Luno lifts the camera and flips it upside down then presses the shutter button.

A flash occurred, temporarily blinding his eyes, he rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, sure to still be less than perfect with cameras from modern times, but this was better because it was not as big as the cameras sold in the Society. Luno checked the results from that camera and couldn't help but be surprised, the results were colorful! In this day and age, every cinema has not touched coloring. So Luno was a little surprised,

Why didn't they try to make a film or a color camera? I don't know, Luno also didn't know that the upper nobility would hire a painter for color photographs. And only the lower group couldn't hire a painter.

Luno smiled happily, he checked his camera and found a hole to hang it, Luno looked around his room and coincidence found a black ribbon on his desk, he hooked it up with his camera.

His hand also grabbed the half-face mask and kept it in a small bag on his waist.

After finishing, Luno looked at himself and smiled.

"Okay, there's no time to think about what will happen in the future, if I can change fate a bit, then I'll do it, but if it turns out that fate isn't on my side either... What can I do?"

With a new spirit, Luno nodded, went out of his room and walked casually towards the cafeteria where danitz—Gerhman.

"Yo! Gerhman, what gossip are you dropping?" with Luno's Casual Movement pulling up a chair and sitting across from Gerhman, ignoring Danitz next to him

Danitz held back his complaint and spoke on behalf of Gerhman, "Gerhman wants to know what a pirate looks like" hearing that Luno just said 'oh' cheerfully, and looking at Gerhman, he raised his eyebrows, confused as to why Gerhman was looking at him with a strange look.

His hand waved in front of Gerhman's eyes, Gerhman came to his senses and stiffly lowered his gaze, I don't know what this 'faceless man' was thinking, and Luno was also a little disappointed that he couldn't see or hear Klein's thoughts.

Besides the German, Danitz also looked at him complicatedly, Luno looked at him back and he saw Danitz coughing once and asked in a hesitant tone

"um, Mr. Cadwell... How can you-" look more beautiful than before. That's what Danitz wanted to ask, but for some things he hesitated, which ended up creating an awkward atmosphere.

Luno tilted his head in confusion, "what happened with me?" his amber eyes rolled to Gerhman who was still staring at the floor, he frowned, didn't get an answer from the two, Luno could only sigh lightly and stood up, approaching the window, completely letting his back face towards them. His eyebrows furrowed, his instincts telling him if they acted like that out of shame and... Fascinated??? What the hell?

Lucine... that flirt fox, this must be her job. Luno didn't know what powder the beautiful fox was spewing out, but he had several theories, one of which was demoness charm. The fox in the myth here is the embodiment of beauty, almost similar to a siren that will try to charm anyone on the radar to go in its direction. This fox was also like that, Luno remembered himself almost falling for the Fox's charm. And can only sigh..

The next time I meet her I have to ask what powder she sprays... If it's my guess then now Klein and Danitz... ah I have to wear a mask. Its annoying  Luno clenched his fists, his eyes narrowed he felt he could hear the laughter of the cunning fox from a distance in the spiritual world.

At that moment, the room had been silent for several minutes, until finally Danitz broke the awkward silence on the table.

"Mr. Cadwell sit down, and order something, I'll pay for it."

Luno's ears twitched, but he still looked out the window, then sighed. He grabbed his small bag and took out a half-face mask, an ordinary silver mask and put it on, then he turned around and sat back down in front of Gerhman.

"I've always wondered why Just Elland would suddenly quit the Navy. By then, he was already an Arbiter."

At this point Luno was a little relieved, finally they didn't act strange! Fucking fox...

Hearing danitz's question, Luno didn't want to answer it, however it wasn't a problem, for him if the person didn't cause trouble or looked at him with a hostile gaze then he was a friend.

Because of this mind, Luno Cadwell was able to survive various threats. He takes advantage of the situation, however a foolish person will not last long in a world like this.

"So what?" Oh Gerhman asked, Luno pulled his lips and smiled lightly. He ordered spicy food while the two of them talked.

"Haha, I just found it strange. We all suspected that he had joined MI9, and that he was using his identity as a captain to monitor the sea routes."

Luno just looked at him and then leaned back on the chair, his silver mask reflecting the light in this room. No one knew what he was thinking.

Five minutes later their food arrived, Luno cut the fish meat and ate it casually, not caring about his noble nature, this place wasn't a ball or a salon so what was I acting like a noble for?

 The melodious tunes of a violin resonated amidst the sounds produced from the slight contact between the cutlery and plates. The blue and open sea outside the window rippled quietly, and everything seemed perfect.

His eyes stared at the sweets on his table so he picked them up and began to eat them slowly, sweetness flooding Luno's tongue, but the calm changed when someone reported that there were pirates in this area. Gerhman glanced at the person, not only Gerhman, but almost everyone in this cafeteria stared at the person.

Holding back an amused smile, Luno ate his sweets calmly, until they were finally finished. Seeing Gerhman's gaze, Luno finally chose to help Danitz.

"I don't think it's because Danitz... this path is indeed rare there are pirates, but if there is then it is not from the Golden Dream" after his calm words, Danitz looked at him with gratitude, Luno could even see the ears and tail of the dog on Danitz's body, making his lips tremble in laughter.

"That's right! It has nothing to do with me!" Gerhman looked at him with a skepticism that was well wrapped up by a calm expression. He chooses to believe in Luno now. But he still wants to prank Danitz.

"Guess."

Guess? You son of a b*tch! Danitz was so furious that he almost cursed.

He maintained his smile and said, "Your wisdom is enough to judge everything."

At that moment, Elland quickly asked about the situation. He stood up and said to the panicking first-class passengers, "There's only one pirate ship. We have enough power to deal with it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your rooms in an orderly manner and await the arrival of good news. Believe me, the damage caused by chaos far exceeds whatever damage those pirates can do. I don't wish to hear rumors in the future that although we, the White Agate, had succeeded in repelling the pirates, a handful of passengers had fallen and injured themselves."

Luno spoke in a small tone, "can I come to your room? I'm just alone, I'm afraid someone will come in and hurt me" with a helpless expression.

Do*shit! Danitz cursed silently, Gerhman nodded, didn't say anything else, Luno smiled and went to room 312 with Danitz and Gerhman, the expression of fear was gone, and there was only an amused expression. As if all of this is just a game for Luno to play.

"I thought you two were going to temporarily take over the White Agate and try to keep it safe from harm," Danitz commented inside room 312 as he closed the door,

Luno snorted, he sat in the chair ignoring Danitz.

Klein glanced at Danitz, then went to the window, and looked out. He saw a large ship with a red skull flag fluttering as it cruised towards them. There were chimneys and sails.

"Know them?" Klein held his hands in his pocket and stood behind a thick glass window.

Danitz walked to a spot diagonally behind him. After looking into the distance for two seconds, he said, "Red Skull. A small-medium band of pirates.

"The captain is Sea Wolf Johnson with a bounty of 900 pounds. The first mate is One-Eyed Anderson with a bounty of 500 pounds."

In the pirate world, a bounty was an important reference point that determined one's status and standing.

"Huh, piles of money..." Luno commented simply, he justified his mask. Danitz froze as he recalled the previous incident, and couldn't help but shudder in horror.

Klein was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Do they know you?"

Luno smiled broadly, he grabbed his camera and prepared himself. No one is aware.

"Of course!" Danitz instantly straightened his back. "They're qualified to participate in distinguished gatherings between pirates. I once kicked them in the ass."

As expected of a famous pirate worth 3,000 pounds... Klein's asked without a change in expression, "Do they have binoculars?"

"That's an essential item. Even if a ship is placed under control, there will be sailors standing on the observation deck, using binoculars to observe the surroundings to prevent any surprise attacks," Danitz replied scornfully.

Luno then found a problem, how could he have photographed the scene with his current position? In between, he suddenly remembered! His sequence 7 ability! The 'shadow servant' bright eyes glanced at the Pirate, then smiled brightly.

Gerhman and danitz didn't seem to notice it, it was good, Luno called shadow,

A shadow of itself moved and began to form a person with dark blue hair and amber eyes, that black sclera was Luno's shadow! Shadow Luno looked at him with a flat expression, Luno looked at him with a smile, then handed over his camera. Shadow luno picked it up and disappeared fusing into the shadows in the room.

Luno didn't need to give orders, as his shadow could also see Luno's thoughts.

"During such times, will the captain and the first mate use their binoculars to observe us?" Klein originally wanted to address them as 900 pounds and 500 pounds, but he found it a bit impolite.

Klein still have some attitude huh Luno looked at them with a shake of his head.

"Definitely, they have to keep track of their target," Danitz replied, slightly puzzled.

He didn't understand Gehrman Sparrow's goal for asking such questions. From his point of view, if he had his powerful strength, he definitely would've allowed the Red Skull pirates to approach, find an opportunity to board their ship, and then eliminate everyone.

Klein tilted his head and looked at Danitz before revealing a gentlemanly and warm smile.

"That's good."

What do you want to do? Don't smile like that! Danitz suddenly panicked and summoned the courage to fight back.

"Take off your wig," Klein calmly ordered.

"Oh! I understand," Luno looked at Danitz with a touch of amusement.

Ah? Danitz was puzzled as he slowly removed the wig from his head.

Klein took out a special bottle of extract from his secret pocket and handed it over.

"Wipe your eyebrows and face clean."

"..." Danitz was even more confused. However, he was unwilling to throw himself into an irreversible situation unless he was really attacked, physically. He had no choice but to do as he was told, removing the disguise on his face and restoring his original appearance.

Putting away the small metal bottle, Klein opened the window and let the sea breeze pour in.

"Stand here and look outside," he pointed directly behind the window and said to Blazing Danitz.

Danitz warily walked over in a daze and stood firmly behind the window.

Klein observed for a few seconds, then he calmly said, "You have two choices. One, crawl out and hang there in an eye-catching manner. Two, you get held by the collar by me and hung there in an eye-catching manner."

"PFfft— " Luno watched this with a wide and warm smile. While restraining himself so that he wouldn't choke on his saliva.

"What do you want to do?" Danitz blurted out.

Klein revealed his amiable smile again.

"Show you to the pirates. I believe Vice Admiral Iceberg's fourth boatswain holds sufficient weight to persuade them to retreat."

"No, don't do that!" Danitz subconsciously rejected the notion.

"Danitz just do it, rather than you turning into a pile of money~" Luno replied in a playful tone. Danitz froze, and then he looked out the window and saw it.

He could imagine what the people from the Red Skull pirate crew would think when they discovered him. Either Blazing Danitz had been captured, and there was a very terrifying powerhouse on the ship, or the ship was already being targeted by Vice Admiral Iceberg, and that other pirates were to immediately keep their distance.

And the way I'm hung up decides which thought they would have... Danitz thought sadly.

Klein smiled even more genially.

"I'm a very easy person to get along with, really—as long as you do as I tell you."

Luno ordered his shadow to seize this moment secretly, and hide the flash.

*Click

His shadow did what he wanted and took this moment secretly, a moment where Gerhman smiled while looking at Danitz, as if he was a priest who was just going to give a splash of holy water with persuasive words. At this moment, Danitz once again felt the indescribable sense of hunger. He felt as if his flesh and soul could be torn from his body at any moment.

After weighing the pros and cons for a second, he half raised his hands, gritted his teeth, and smiled.

"I'll do it myself."

Holding back his anger and grievances, Danitz turned and climbed out of the window. Using his balance and strength from years of experience, he hung himself off the cabin with his forearm.

"Don't try to escape. I'm not a patient man." Klein's face turned cold as he gently reminded.

Phew... Danitz resisted the urge to release his forearm and jump straight down.

On the pirate ship in the distance, the crew responsible for observing the White Agate sent a message to Sea Wolf Johnson.

"Boss, there's a weird guy hanging out the window over there!"

Johnson was stunned for a second. He raised his binoculars and placed it in front of his eyes.

He quickly discovered the strange fellow who his subordinate was talking about. The man's position was simply too eye-catching.

Isn't that Blazing Danitz? Johnson's brows twitched as he recognized the man.

How did he get on the White Agate? What's the meaning of him hanging outside? This is Vice Admiral Iceberg's prey? After a series of questions, Sea Wolf came to a conclusion.

He raised his right hand and said, "Everyone take note; stay far away from this area immediately!"

...

In room 305, Cleves stood by the window with the revolver gripped tightly in his hand as a precaution against the potential sea skirmish.

Donna's family was a little frightened. They didn't return to their respective bedrooms, but they instead sat in the living room, waiting for the bombardment to begin. Cecile and the other bodyguard, Teague, stood guard beside them, fully alert.

At this moment, a look of confusion appeared in Cleves's slightly-aged eyes.

After a few minutes, he took a step back, lowered his muzzle, and said to the people, "The pirates have left."

"What?" This development left Urdi Branch and the others surprised and confused. They had no idea what the pirates were thinking.

...

Room 312

Luno immediately ordered his servant to take a picture immediately,

Immediately before Danitz could correct his position, a shadow formed on the wall of the window and stood sideways, Danitz was startled and froze, his eyes widened at the sight of Luno standing sideways and sticking to the camera, and even more shocking to him his sclera was black.

Before he could do anything, the camera shutter sound was heard with a flash. Successfully taking the moment and expression of danitz.

Gerhman stared at the flash in confusion as he walked over, but was held back by Luno, Luno just shook his head and smiled playfully.

Seeing klein about to ask, Luno ordered his shadow to return, instantly stopping Gerhman from asking, and made him stare foolishly at the two people in front of him.

"This is one of the manifestations of my strength, there is no need to look alert" Luno released his hand and waved it chasing away Klein's insignificant thoughts, the shadow beside him gave the camera and then shattered into a black liquid onto the floor which instantly turned into Luno's shadow.

"Camera?"

Staring at Klein's gaze fixed on the camera in his hand, Luno adjusted his mask and nodded.

"It would be a great loss if I didn't take a picture of him, I could sell this portrait to some of the Golden Dream crew~"

"Dogs*it!"

Blazing Danitz crawled back and couldn't help but give a sneered.

"You're borrowing my captain's reputation! She really hates these kinds of things! And you give me the photo!"

Just wait for Vice Admiral Iceberg to teach you two a lesson! Danitz thought angrily.

Klein quietly listened and asked, "I remember her reward in Loen was 26,000 pounds?"

... This madman... Danitz couldn't find the words to respond.

"Nope~ this is my treasure! You don't have a right to claim it~"

"Bulls*it!"

….

"Captain, the Red Skull pirates have fled!"

A sailor rushed into the captain's quarters.

"They fled?" Elland lifted his telescope and looked quizzically at the calm sea, just in time to see the Red Skull disappear into the horizon.

He frowned, completely unable to understand how such a development could've occurred.

From his point of view, the White Agate's armaments definitely weren't capable of scaring off the Red Skull pirates. It was guaranteed that both parties would have to circle around each other dozens of times during the skirmish and fire multiple shots in order to ensure that the other party found them a tough nut to crack. Without daring to engage in a prolonged, they would then rationally choose to retreat.

Could it be that the Red Skull was just passing by and had no intention of plundering us? However, if they weren't here to plunder, why would they enter this sea route? This is the easiest place to be stopped by the naval fleet and the Church's ships. Even the Four Kings and Seven Admirals would still try their best to keep a low profile when they pass by the surrounding seas... Elland was filled with doubts, and he felt that things weren't that simple.

Being careful keeps one away from disaster, I mustn't be carelessness... Elland put away his yellow-brown telescope and paced back and forth.

He half raised his hand and said to the navigator, "We shall dock at Bansy Harbor tonight.

"Report our encounter with the pirates to the Navy and the Church."

According to their usual plan, the next stop for the White Agate would be the Tiana Port, and it would probably take three days at 13 knots to reach it. From Tiana Port, it would finally reach the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, the City of Generosity, Bayam.

And there was a faster way to sail from Pritz Harbor to Bayam, which was to stop only once in the middle of the voyage, at Bansy Harbor, about 120 nautical miles from Damir Harbor.
