Chapter 34.5 : Consequences

At the same time...

As Diana, who was standing on the deck of the Thunder stared into the distance, at the battle that was taking place not that far away from the location of the Storm Pirates, she couldn't help but faintly smile.

After taking a good look at the five merchants ships that were current being besieged by a single pirate ship, a faint smile appeared on her face, causing her to turn to Daniel.

"Daniel, temporarily change our direction, move towards the six ships in the distance," said Diana before turning to Emily, who was standing not too far away from her faintly smiling.

"I have to plan things right now, you can go lead the crew to deal with those rabbles," said Diana as she lightly waved towards Emily and entered one of the cabin's of the ship.

As soon as Diana disappeared, having gone to train with Thresh, who was also not currently available to do battle right now, Emily's eyes instantly lit up, causing her to turn her attention onto the six ships in front of the Thunder.

"Go faster you rabble, we need to get to those ships sooner," said Emily as she turned her attention onto the people that were currently rowing the thunder.

As soon as they heard the words of the Vice-Captain, the cannon-fodder, who always did menial, and nearly slave-like work for the rest of the crew immediately got to work, and began rowing much faster towards the six ships, allowing the already fast thunder to reach them in the blink of an eye, which meant that Emily, who was feeling extremely jealous at the moment, was allowed to jump into the fat sheep that were the merchant sheep without any resistance.

Whilst Diana and Thresh continued their training, completely oblivious to the things happening outside of the cabin, Emily was busy utterly slaughtering everything in her way, making way for the Cannon Fodder of the Storm Pirates to get to work and begin looting the ship, which was filled with valuables.

By the time the Cannon Fodder finished looting one part of the ship, Emily, as well as the people currently following her had actually managed to completely slaughter the inhabitants of the next area, which included rowdy pirates that were looting the ship previously.

With such easy working conditions, which were much better than the conditions on the ship itself, the Storm Crew's cannon fodder also felt quite happy, as they were easily made a large amount of money once again, for the third time in a row.

But even though the cannon fodder had filled their pockets, this did not mean that the crew itself did not become much richer, in fact, they managed to obtain 16 million berries from the looting of the ships, a number which made Diana slightly doubt the efficiency of looting marine bases at the moment.

Even under these conditions though, the overall treasure of the Storm Pirates without including the personal possessions of its members actually reached a total of 94 million berries, which would soon allow the pirates to make some much-needed improvements to their combat strength.

...

As he looked at the piece of paper in his hands, which clearly described his daughter's actions in the past few days, King Kusta, who had been mostly resistant to his daughter's actions up until now, nearly puked.

But even though the middle-aged king did not puke when reading the descriptions of his daughter's actions, he almost immediately fell to the floor, causing the Queen, who was standing nearby, minding her own business, to actually take action and catch the falling kind.

Merely a few moments later, Queen Lumi placed her husband onto the floor, immediately realizing the cause of sudden outbursts.

"What did she do this time?" asked the Queen as she stared at her husband, causing him, who had been relatively calm up until now, to suddenly grit his teeth and try to get up from the floor.

"It's nothing, I was just feeling a little bit sick, don't worry about me," said King Kusta as he suddenly got up from the floor, but even so, at the moment, the Queen was really not having his shenanigans, and immediately stopped him in his tracks.

"What, did, she, do?" asked the Queen as she immediately got into the King's face and snatched that piece of paper out of his hands.

Without waiting for Kusta to say anything, Queen Lumi immediately began reading what was written on that piece of paper before freezing.

"Both you and her have gone beyond the line, you should know that better than anyone Kusta, how could you allow her to do something like this, you must've known that something was coming!!" said the queen as she stared at the report of what had happened within that small town.

"You can't let her keep getting away with this, otherwise things will continue to escalate out of control!" said the King, right into his face.

Hearing the words of the Queen of the Trun Kingdom, his Wife, as well as of Morgana's mother, king Kusta couldn't help but fall silent for a few moments.

A few moments after that, King Kusta finally let out a faint sigh.

"I understand..."

...

As she looked at Simo, who was simply staring at her with an empty look in his eyes, Morgana, who had just arrived in the capital of the Trun Kingdom couldn't help but smile.

"Simo, it seems as though my actions have angered father and mother, so, what were their reactions?" asked Morgana, who was dressed in her signature dress.

After a moment of hesitation, and after slightly gulping, Simo finally took out a piece of paper.

"From this day on, as consequence for her reckless waste of human life, the status of Royalty of Princess Morgana Hahta is stripped from her, and she is then awarded with a bounty of 7 Million Berries," read Simo, causing Morgana to freeze for a brief moment.

"I guess this was to be expected father..." mumbled Morgana before smiling.
