Chapter 904 - Plot Change

Four weeks passed after the opening of the Guild almost every day they got a request to some distant place to do something for them.

Of course, the guild accepts it if they can give a good repayment for them and they will ensure the safety of their member.

But that is not important, what is important is Astrea and Melan who are doing a hidden mission this time.

Before Xin leaves, he leaves a special mission for both of them. And that is to ensure the safety of his classmates, Ains, and his teacher Zephyr.

They are in a large battleship conducting an experience for a new Marine that is about to graduate, the ship only has Zephyr and a student.

No escort because they felt that doing some light exercise will not be bad at all for them.

Zephyr also brought his family, his wife, and son to do a light vacation to a southern island, one of the bases of the marine, this is also Zephyr rest day.

But something happens in the middle of the trip, an unknown pirate suddenly appears, almost cutting the ship in half, and wounding 12 students in the process.

Seeing all happening, Zephyr hurriedly asks for his wife to hide while leaving Ains protecting them, he then dash to fight the intruder.

An intruder is a man with a stocky figure, with prominent scars going down his left eye, across his neck, and around his left arm.

He has bushy blond hair with two braids coming down either side of his face and similar to a pretty known pirate in the new world but he looks more despicable than that honorable man.

He has a black bandanna and black eye patch not even covering one of his eyes. His legs are disproportionately small for his build and his nose also appears to be perpetually runny, evocative of his simple-minded nature.

"Who are you! Why Are you attacking us!" Zephyr's angry shout.

He can fight now if he wanted to but he can't do that, there's the only student on the boat, he can't let any of the people inflicted on the fight.

What he wants is to buy enough time for a backup to arrive, to get the student to a safe place with his family.

"Can't you see? I'm a pirate… and pirates and marines usually fight each other right? Are you a fool?'

"Stop talking to him my son, just kill them so that we can get their loot."

The one talking is an elderly woman with blonde hair. On her shirt, she sports a skull symbol that is similar to a jolly roger, except that it has pigtails and no crossbones. She wears a green hat, a pair of sunglasses, and a leopard-print vest.

"But another idiot is asking me.."

"I said finish it already?! Do you want to starve in the basement again?"

"Hiiii!!! I'm doing it now , mother."

The man holding a weapon jumps and attacks Zephyr, Zephyr can easily see that the man only packs with raw power but in fighting, he looks more amateur than his weakest student.

Every attack shakes the boat, the man slightly getting an advantage because Zephyr doesn't want everyone to swim in the sea where the giant sea king is waiting.

But still, it did not prevent the man from destroying half of the deck while Zeffry is getting wounded from time to time from his abnormal strength.

"Stop, do you want to get your student to die here?!" The small woman took a gun and pointed it to the head of one of the students making Zephyr forget to dodge the next attack.

"Despicable!!"

"Hahahahaha this is the sea, everything is possible if you want to win!!"

"Die oldman!"

Swish!

The man's weapons swiftly cut in the air, Zephyr grit his teeth and use all his power to cover his arms with hacky but he is not sure if he can prevent the attack from cutting his arm.

After all, he discovers that this huge baboon actually has Haki, an abnormal Haki that activates without this man though that all.

Clang!

"Ha?"

Both Zephyr and the man were slightly shocked.

Astrea who party the attack shook, she did not expect that the attack of this idiotic man actually powerful for even her to feel it.

"Who are you?! Why am I stopping my fun!"

"Master order to escort this boat, you have already destroyed half of the deck and almost killed the Master's Teacher, you need to pay compensation for this."

"Die, woman!"

Clang!

Astrea's petite body slightly shakes from the attack but this time she firmly holds her ground.

"Yoru powerful, but this is not enough, disappear already."

Using her raw strength Astrea grabs his head slam in the gourd, then kicks him upward making him free fall in the air, she then opens her wing to fly up in the air using both hands holding his sword she hits the man using the flat surface of her weapon making him fly like a baseball ball.

Meanwhile, Melan grabs the old woman and casually throws it towards where the man flies, of course, she calculates it all so that the older woman will fall in the water.

"You guys are?" Zephyr confeud looked at them and asked.

"Astrea-chan! Melan-chan! You guys are actually here!" Ainz, who came out to check what happened, was surprised to see both of them here; she didn't expect to see the merge.

"They are?"

"They are Xin's friends, they are pretty strong but I don't know the level of their strength." Ainz said.

"So you guys come here because of Xin."

"That's right, Master said to guard you guys while in the journey, we are already following you for almost all the time," Astrea said.

"Matter… worry….. So he asks us to follow to guard you guys….. " Melan said.

"Hayz~ it seem im getting old, even my student hire a bodyguard for a simple trip, but anyway, you girl a huge help, if you want you can sit with us for the rest of the journey,"

"Thank you then."

"Your welcome, your presence is a huge help for me and my students."
