It has been about a week ever since that pirate event, during those days not much happened, but saving up this weeks spins, I decided to use them.

Spin 7 daily spins

[Congratulations, 3x rare drops, you have gotten the following]

[5000XP + 2000XP, Flintlock, Magic capacity + 70, Canister/Buckshot shells, 1x custom uniform, 1x custom dress.]

It seems I also got quite the haul from this week's daily spins, it said if you save up a week of spins, the droprate of rarer items increases, so it was true.

So, what is the custom uniform and dress?

[Custom uniform will take the form into whatever uniform you imagine, you can edit it a few more times before equipping it, once equipped, you can no longer change it. same applies to dress]

Seems pretty nice, bring up my current stats.

I'm going to be heading to a Port, so having no crew would be kind of suspicious, even though the merchants know, I doubt they would spill the beans considering I saved them having their beans..spilt.

Purchase crew, yes

[-10,000XP, Skill ‘Crew’ acquired]

[Would you like to summon crew for your ship?]

Yes

Suddenly, spots of bright light appeared on my ship, roughly 50 people materialised out of nowhere, it seems they are just working as if they have been doing it for the past several months.

Suddenly a girl walks up to me, she seems to be wearing leather jacket which goes down to her waist, she is also wearing a bright blue vest underneath it, she is wearing white trousers with bright brown boots, she has a flintlock with a white ivory grip, with a bright bronze barrel and metal lining, on it’s side is engraved ‘XVIIIe’.

“Thank you for the second chance captain” she knelt to me

“Eh?, what do you mean second chance?” (me)

“We have died but have been given a second chance to serve under you, our lives belong to you, should we mutiny, our soul would be torn from us and we shall die, if you die, we die” she replied

“I see, and your name is?” (Me)

“My apologies, I am Momoi Sakuro” (Momoi)

“So you were reborn from this world?” (Me)

They said they were given a second chance, I might end up bringing someone from my own world here.

“We are neither from your world or this one” (Momoi)

“You mean all of you?” (Me)

“That is correct, captain” (Momoi)

It’s a shame, but it cannot be helped, unless someone with such luck as mine dies in a similar fashion, I doubt I would meet another earthling like me.

Several hours later

[Mission: survive, Reward: 5,000XP 5TP]

What. The. Fuck.

Several chills when up my spine, no human language could explain the amount of fear that I felt at that very moment when I read that.

[Alternative Objective: defeat the Ironback Septopus, Reward 20,000XP 25TP]

I instantly yell at my crew to battlestations and alert the merchants to prepare for combat. Alerted by my sudden command, they all hurried to their positions. Momai gave other commands, designating certain crew to certain roles. As I said before, it seemed as though they have been doing this for a while, yet they have been here for less than a day.

If that thing gets my system to tell me to survive, it is not a pushover.

My crew man the broadside cannons, while I control the 2 turrets, while the ship was initially a 600 crew ship, since I autonomise the majority of the systems, many crew were just guards. They also don't need to eat or drink like me, but doing so give me more supplies for the ship, somehow...

Underwater ahead of us, is a huge dark shadow. It's easily longer than my ship, and I’m 100 Meters long!

The merchants started screaming.

“Iron back Septopus!” (Merchant crew)

“Iron back!” (Merchant crew)

Upon emerging from the water, the creature somewhat resembles an octopus, with several major differences, firstly, instead of a giant sack for a head, it's more like a cone, this chitin like stuff shines like iron and is probably where it got its first name, secondly, the middle tentacle on the back is much larger, probably to grab ships that it tends to headbutt, if you think about it, it’s kinda like a giant aquatic facehugger with the tendency to smash faces instead of hug them.

As It got closer I started opening fire, the explosive shells hit but did nothing.

“tch, iron back indeed” (Me)

After firing a solid shot at it, the shell cracked a bit, a little bit of a cyan luminescent liquid oozed out, and it went back underwater.

“Yep, I pissed it off” turning away from the merchant ship, trying not to get it mixed in the brawl that's about to ensue, I command all crew to avoid using explosive shells.

Eventually a huge tentacle wrapped itself around the ship, the various railings and fencing bent, but the ship held its main structure up without a hitch.

*Bong*

*Bong*

The sound of the shell banging against the side of the ship was heard by everyone.

Without a second thought, I made my 2 turrets fire explosive shells at the tentacle and it split in 2 with a bloody mess, half of my ship was now glowing, even though its daytime.

*KREEEEEEE*

The monster squealed in pain, as it raised its head to hit us at another angle, it was met by a face full of fire and lead, at that moment I yelled.

“FIRE!” (Me)

*KOOM KOOM*

*KOOM KOOM*

Several cannons fired with a wide array of solid shots, buck shots and I even opened up with explosive shells.

The Buckshots tore the smaller tentacles off, the Solid shots shattered its shell, and the explosive shells made a mess of its fleshy face.

No creature could come out unscathed from a salvo such as that. It flopped onto my deck dead.

The crew and merchants rejoiced at the victory.

[Mission complete, survive the Ironback Septopus, Bonus objective completed, Total Rewards

25,000 XP 30TP]

“Whew, seems even sea monsters will soon come to fear me” (Me)

I said as I wiped the sweat from my forehead, Now that I come to think of it, I never saw myself ever since I was reborn, and looking at others I feel way shorter than before. At that moment I felt a bit worried.
