Chapter 35.3 : Action

As he looked back at the shipwrights who were mopping up the rest of the shocked pirates with relative ease, Thresh, who was standing on top of the fence couldn't help but shake his head.

'It's a pity that they have to be so experienced when dealing with pirates...' thought Thresh before taking one final look at the pirates and jumping down from the fence.

Bang!

With how bad the law and order of this city had become recently, at least since he and the rest of the crew had come here, Thresh did not pay much attention to the gunshot that had resounded in the distance, and had continued making his way out of the shipyard without looking back in the slightest.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

Only a few moments later, gunshot after gunshot started resounding through the city, going for 2 straight minutes without pausing even one bit, causing even Thresh to faintly slow down his walking.

After listening to the gunshots for around thirty seconds, Thresh was finally on his way, and left the shipyard behind.

"Hopefully those guys don't involve themselves in this..." mumbled Thresh, already feeling as though Emily had somehow gotten herself involved in this trouble.

...

As she looked at the bounty hunter that was currently pointing his gun right at her head, a faint frown couldn't help but appear on her face.

"Do you have any last words?"

Upon hearing the words of the bounty hunter, the frown on Diana's face couldn't help but transform into a faint smile.

"Really arrogant, do you have any backup?" asked Diana as she looked at the bounty hunter in front of her.

A few moments later, Diana suddenly began looking around, seemingly searching for the backup of the bounty hunter.

Interestingly, in just a few moments, Diana actually discovered over a dozen bounty hunters hiding within various buildings, pointing their rifles straight at her.

A moment later, just as Diana was about to speak, a bullet suddenly travelled her way, causing Diana to suddenly move her head sideways, dodging it.

Only a few moments later, dozens of bullets suddenly began flying towards Diana, causing her to suddenly begin moving rapidly, dodging each and every single one of them.

Although not targeted against Diana, at the very same moment, gunshots suddenly began resounding around the city.

After dodging in place for just a few moments, Diana suddenly began moving rapidly, before arriving in front of the first bounty hunter in just a few moments.

In a single strike, Diana suddenly snapped the neck of the bounty hunter, before beginning to move once again.

In just under a minute, Diana killed over half of the bounty hunters that had targeted her, whilst the other half of the bounty hunters had successfully fled the scene.

Bang!

As she looked at the bullet that had just ricocheted off the side of her head, and was now lying deformed on the ground, a faint smile appeared on Diana's face.

"Impressive, but sadly too weak..." mumbled Diana as she turned to face the bounty hunter that was standing at the doorway, paralyzed in fear.

A fraction of a moment later, that very same deformed bullet suddenly pierced through the face of the bounty hunter piercing through the back of his head and through the fall behind her.

...

As she looked at the image showed on the screen in front of her, Morgana, who had been silent up until now, couldn't help but turn towards Simo, who was standing next to her.

"Simo, are you certain that there isn't any connection that can be traced back to us?" asked Morgana as she slightly moved her chair back, to get a better look at the image in front of her.

"No princess, we've made sure that the drug can't be traced back to us," said Simo, causing Morgana to slightly nod her head.

"That's good, get me some more information on this pirate and her crew," said Morgana, causing Simo to leave the room, leaving only Morgana inside to stare at the large screen in front of her.

'What sort of hardness does her skin need to have for the bullet to not pierce in the slightest...' thought Morgana as she did some math in her head.

After doing some basic math, which was most likely wrong, Morgana couldn't help but clench her teeth.

Even if her skin was half as resistant as she had calculated, no, even a tenth as resistant, this was by far the most resistant 'human' that Morgana had encountered since she had begun her studying.

Just as Morgana was about to sink further into thought, Simo once again entered the room, now holding some newspaper clippings, as well as some bounties in his hands.

"Princess, these are all that I could find on short notice," said Simo as he handed the clippings and bounties to Morgana, who quickly read through them.

In just under half a minute, Morgana had already gained quite a decent idea of her target's situation, causing her to fall into thought for just a few moments.

"You know... this option is really quite convenient..." mumbled Morgana, causing Simo slightly scratch his head.

'Subduing someone like that is bound to be extremely difficult, or did the Princess's research advance that far already?' thought Simo as he looked at Morgana, who was still deep into thought.

After around a minute of silence, Morgana had finally decided on what to do, and suddenly got up from her seat.

"Simo, stop diluting the dosage given to the pirates, increase it to the highest amount possible, but keep the dosage of the troops to the same level for now," said Morgana, causing Simo's eyes to suddenly widen, nearly popping out.

But even so, Simo did not say to disobey the orders of the princess, and bowed his head slightly.

"I understand Princess, I will inform the workers in just a few minutes, I'm sure that the results will not disappoint you Princess," said Simo before immediately walking out of the room.
