Chapter 12: New weapons

Noah and his crew docked their ship at the island full of people, ready to resupply and possibly sell some of the weapons they had acquired on their journey. Xiang, the young boy who had recently joined the crew, had an idea.

"Captain, I found this ore on the monster island that could be valuable. If we can find a blacksmith, maybe we can trade it for some better weapons," Xiang suggested.

Noah was intrigued by the idea and agreed to help Xiang with his plan.

They wandered through the bustling town, searching for a blacksmith who could help them. Eventually, they stumbled upon a skilled blacksmith who was willing to trade with them.

After inspecting the ore, the blacksmith was impressed and offered to craft them some weapons.

They agreed on three tridents with fire aspects and six katanas with the same fire enchantments.

With their new weapons in hand, Noah and his crew felt confident in their next battles.

As they walked back to their ship, a bird suddenly flew by and dropped nine pieces of paper on the deck.

Each paper had a name written on it. Noah quickly realized that these were bounties, and each name belonged to a member of his crew.

"Looks like we've made a name for ourselves," Noah said with a smirk. "But we won't back down from a fight.

• Noha: 10,000

Leo: 6,000

Xiang: 5,000

Kaida: 3,500

Mei: 2,500

Jin: 2,000

Ryo: 1,500

Haru: 1,000

We'll take on anyone who dares to challenge us."

Noah then turned to Leo and Xiang and declared them as his left and right-hand men, respectively.

With his crew by his side, Noah felt unstoppable, ready to take on any challenge that came their way.

Noah and his crew set sail again, this time with a new addition to their team: the blacksmith's apprentice.

They were ready to face whatever challenges came their way with their newly crafted weapons.

As they traveled, they encountered several pirate ships on their way, but with the new weapons and their skills, they were able to easily defeat them. Soon, news of their victories spread across the seas, and they gained a reputation as a formidable crew.

One day, they arrived at an island where they learned of a powerful pirate who had been terrorizing the locals.

Noah and his crew decided to take him down and put an end to his reign of terror.

The pirate had a large crew and a heavily fortified base, but with their new weapons and the blacksmith's apprentice crafting traps and gadgets, they were able to infiltrate the base undetected.

A fierce battle ensued, but eventually, Noah and his crew emerged victorious.

They captured the pirate and his crew, and turned them over to the Marines in exchange for a hefty bounty.

With their newfound wealth, Noah and his crew set sail once again, determined to become the greatest pirate crew in the world.

And with their skills, determination, and new weapons, they were well on their way to achieving their goal.
