Chapter 59: Infuriating Beyond Measure [Please Vote for Recommendation]-Holographic Pirate Era(Luo Qin)

Pirates! Drifting across the vast sea with limited fresh water, compounded by a certain laziness, few ever bother to bathe. Add to that their inherent ugliness, and it’s hard not to feel sorry for the audience.

“Captain, there are two kids.” A pirate immediately spotted Guina and Tang Shen.

The two stood openly by the shore, in plain view.

Though both held swords, the pirates barely took notice; Guina was too small, Tang Shen too young, his sunny smile radiating harmless innocence.

“Captain, let me have that little girl. She looks good—I like little girls,” said a scrawny pirate with yellow teeth, his eyes lighting up shamelessly as he eyed Guina.

“Let’s take care of business first. Don’t waste time. But you can tie her up now; once we’ve looted this island, you can have your fun while we make our escape,” declared the burly leader, wearing a battered hat emblazoned with a skull identical to their flag. He was the captain—and the ugliest of the lot.

With a mere wave of his hand, he seemed to decide both Guina’s fate and that of the island, grinning smugly and flashing his crooked teeth as he rallied his crew, “Follow me, and you’ll have meat to eat, money to spend, and women to enjoy.”

“Captain mighty!”

The underlings raised their blades, shouting excitedly, their faces twisted with savage joy, eyes red like wolves.

“Tell me, what’s the motto of the Butcher Pirates?” the captain roared.

“Burn it! Kill them! Take it all!” the crew shouted in unison, their voices swelling together. As they shouted, their eyes grew redder, their spirits soared.

Satisfied with their response, the captain didn’t wait for the ship to steady. He waved his hand and bellowed, “Go, boys! Let’s plunge this island into terror!”

“Yes, Captain!”

The pirates leapt ashore, charging toward the island, toward Tang Shen and Guina.

Especially the pirate targeting Guina, who rushed fastest, eyes wild like a beast, saliva nearly dripping from his mouth.

These pirates, hardened by a life on the sea, especially this crew, clearly weren’t strangers to raiding islands. Their bodies radiated a murderous aura; they were no novices to killing.

Their collective charge was imposing. Ordinary folk confronted by such vicious pirates would be terrified, unable to resist, fleeing in panic.

The pirates’ unrestrained conversation reached Tang Shen and Guina’s ears, and of course, Koshiro as well.

Koshiro was so furious he nearly sprang out, sword in hand, ready to cut them all down.

As a father who secretly cared for his daughter, how could he tolerate such hideous pirates insulting her?

Tang Shen’s sunny smile grew even brighter then, but deep within his eyes gleamed the fierce light of a predator.

After so long together, Guina had become a significant presence in Tang Shen’s heart. For some petty thug to dare act so brazenly—it was courting death.

He intended to slaughter every pirate, leave none alive.

Guina scowled fiercely, her small face set. She didn’t quite understand the pirates’ words, but she knew they weren’t good.

Faced with a mob of bloodthirsty pirates, neither showed a hint of tension, nor did they retreat.

On the contrary, after spending so much time with Tang Shen, Guina had developed a penchant for banter, and said bluntly, “Master, these pirates are so ugly.”

“They really are, uniquely ugly. I wonder how they have the nerve to call themselves pirates, maybe they scare their enemies with their faces?” Tang Shen nodded, mercilessly.

Guina: “......”

Koshiro: “......”

Scaring enemies with their faces? Even Guina was speechless. Only her master could banter with such skill; the entire sentence insulted their looks without a single crude word. She had much to learn—her skills were still lacking.

Koshiro’s face twitched; he knew Tang Shen’s banter could kill without remorse.

Pirates: “......”

Every pirate paused at Tang Shen’s words, their momentum faltering. The remark struck deep—opening a new world for them.

Who knew insults could be delivered so elegantly, without a single vulgarity?

This sunny, handsome young man’s tongue was venomous indeed.

The pirate captain, still posing at the bow, his face as hideous as an overripe eggplant, froze. His smile faded—he hated nothing more than being called ugly.

Years ago, he became a pirate because everyone mocked his ugliness. After killing someone in a rage, he fled to the sea.

Tang Shen’s insults, though devoid of profanity, struck him to the core.

Bang!

With a stomp, he leapt from the pirate ship, charging forward at full speed, eyes locked on Tang Shen, brimming with murderous intent.

He meant to kill the one who called him ugly, to carve him up piece by piece, avoiding the vital spots.

Tang Shen’s words referred to all the pirates, but the captain took it personally, wounded deeply by the word “ugly.”

“Tell me, pirates, why keep a gorilla on board? And such an ugly one, too. Do you use it to sharpen your swords? Is it that whenever you fight, you show them this gorilla and they surrender? Truly, your strategy is clever—I must applaud you!” Tang Shen grinned, then pointed at the captain as if he’d uncovered a great secret, raising his thumb in approval.

Indeed, the captain, covered in black hair and taller than the others, looked, from afar, very much like a charging gorilla.

Pfft!

Guina couldn’t help herself, laughing aloud, her eyes sparkling.

Many pirates stopped in their tracks, glancing back at their captain, hurriedly covering their mouths lest they burst out laughing.

In their hearts, they secretly agreed with Tang Shen. Looking closely, his words seemed to hold a grain of truth.

The captain, who was charging forward, was so enraged his already dark face grew even darker, his eyes burning, nearly spitting blood.

This insult was even more vicious than the last, calling him a gorilla outright. Especially with his underlings’ glances, he felt they truly saw him as one. The rage inside him erupted like a volcano, rising until it seemed he’d swallowed a cannonball, fury at its peak.
