Episode 125
As the speedboat neared the center of the whirlpool, the sailors, anticipating doom, jumped into the sea.
No human could resist the whirlpools that even a ship with a screw could not overcome.
They were sucked into the center of the whirlpool before the speedboats.
The whirlpool then split the speedboat in two and devoured it.
The ships that saw that sight became even more confused.
They tried to break away from each other, but they only got more stuck together as if the noose was tightening.
The yellow tooth shouted in a terrified voice.
– Hey, f*ck! Are we really going to end up like that? Hey! Do something about it!
thud.
Boom! Boom!
The ships pushed each other to escape, sometimes destroying or capsizing each other’s ships.
– You! What the heck! You dare attack the command ship that the leader is on! Once we get out of here, you all gather together!
The carp cruise ship hit a fishing boat that was lined with steel pipes from bow to stern like a hedgehog.
The wind caused the boat to tilt and water to start leaking in.
– Oh, shit! I’m really going to sink. This butler! Save me! Do something about it! Please!
The solemn voice cracked and turned into a new voice.
“It’s Sakamoto’s voice.”
“The original voice was that of a new Sakamoto. Hehe.”
Only Bomi and Jin laughed.
The pirates tried to escape by any means necessary.
I lowered the lifeboat and tried rowing, and I also jumped into the sea and tried swimming.
But any attempt would only shorten the time of fate, and all the ships would rush towards the destination one after another like trains running on rails.
Finally, the first-line speedboat, the Chamsuri-class speedboat, was sucked into the maw of the whirlpool.
The speedboat tried with all its might to escape, as if making a last-ditch effort, but it wasn’t enough.
The pirates screamed in horror as they saw the speedboat being dragged into the water, split in two.
“iced coffee!”
“Save me! Please!”
In particular, the voice of the yellow tooth that had become so raspy was irritating to the ears.
– This butler! I just had to be the face madam. I got my teeth in and acted and did everything I was told. Thanks to that, our Goldtooth Pirates did well. But this time, I had a bad feeling. So I asked if I could just let you go this once. But you brought me here by force and made me suffer like this! Take responsibility. This butler! Answer me!
The yellow tooth screamed loudly.
He threw away his fancy captain’s hat, unbuttoned his shirt, and started swinging his sword behind him.
I guess this butler isn’t on a coast guard ship.
The place pointed to by the middle finger was a combat ship converted from a 40-ton fishing boat.
You could tell that a little extra effort had gone into the water-tight iron plates, but they didn’t look anything special.
A colorful, bountiful catch flag was still hanging on the stern.
And the number ‘864’ was written on the player.
I opened my eyes half-heartedly and stared at the number 864.
I think the ship that Lee Su-ho boarded was number 863.
But what are they doing?
Sailors on deck 864 were seen loading a mortar.
And other sailors were carrying RPGs, grenades, and what looked like homemade bombs.
Are you really trying to attack us now?
However, the aiming direction of the mortars and RPGs, and the direction in which the sailors carrying the bombs were looking, was not towards us.
Among them, a figure wearing a black mask was seen running around, changing the direction of attack one by one.
Although his face was covered, his calm and skillful commanding appearance seemed to be that person I had imagined, Lee Su-ho.
He was a former captain of a coast guard vessel.
At Black Mask’s direction, mortars fired, grenades and homemade bombs were hurled.
The direction from which the mortars and RPGs fired was toward what appeared to be a transport ship, and they focused their attacks on the stern where the cargo was loaded.
And grenades and bombs were thrown towards the port side.
Boom! Boom!
The bombs were thrown mainly towards the sea, but since the ships were already tangled together, the surrounding ships suffered great damage from the bomb explosions.
It was engulfed in flames and began to sink in the seeping water.
The startled yellow tooth screamed.
– Butler! What are you doing? Why are you attacking your own side?
But the butler did not stop attacking.
Grenades and bombs were hurled again, and reloaded mortars and RPGs opened fire on the transports again.
The pirates, who were initially at a loss and confused by the friendly forces’ attack, began to counterattack.
The pirates who were throwing bombs at the butler’s instructions were shot and fell.
“Haha. Dude, what are they doing? They’re fighting among themselves.”
Bomi pointed to number 864, which was spitting fire and giggling.
“Perhaps it’s trying to escape from the hidden vortex.”
“Huh! What does that mean?”
“Look over there. The explosion caused a crack in the whirlpool. The ships that were all tangled up in one mass are being blown away little by little. And maybe the explosion… … .”
Boom! Boom!
Before I could finish my words, a tremendous noise rang out.
A massive explosion occurred at the stern of the transport ship, which was under heavy mortar fire.
Flames and flames shot up so high that it was blinding.
The explosion wasn’t just a single shot.
Various explosive sounds rang out in succession, as if gunfire, explosions, and shelling were all occurring at the same time.
The transport ship appeared to be loaded with shells, explosives, and bullets.
Bang! Boom! Boom!
A fireworks display unfolded above the water, with colorful sparks rising in time to the sound of an explosion.
The fireworks reflected on the calm waters were beautiful, but they greedily devoured the ships.
People engulfed in flames screamed and jumped into the sea like flying sparks.
“Wow! This is totally like the Battle of Red Cliffs.”
Jinman looked at the burning leaflet with wide eyes.
Oh! Now that I think about it, I think the Battle of Red Cliffs was a similar scene.
However, the difference was that it was not the enemy who attacked, but our own forces.
– Ah! Shit! This butler! You and I both got screwed by the pretense of justice. So you said let’s create a new and free community, not a Korea full of oppression and taboos. I truly believed what you said. If you were loyal and dedicated, no matter what you did, the community would take care of you and save you. But is this the price you pay for loyalty and dedication?
Even though his butt was on fire, Nureongi didn’t let go of the mic.
Is this the voice actor’s will?
The voice of the yellow tooth had changed from the angry Sakamoto’s voice to the dignified and resonant voice of Kakemusa.
– If I had known this would happen, I would have joined the Ark Church instead. At least they won’t set their followers on fire. Since you abandoned me like this, you, the butler, will never have an easy ending. Ark! Ark! The holy water purifies the world and saves everything… … .
Nureongni jumped into the water while reciting the prayer of the Ark Church.
Oh! This butler isn’t a member of the Ark Church?
Of course. Because Lee Su-ho apostatized.
So what about the ark that floated on Trash Island?
Not a diversionary operation, but just a coincidence?
The explosion not only shocked the eddy currents beneath the surface, but also created new waves on the surface.
Towering waves spread out in all directions from the explosion.
Most of the ships were pushed towards the center of the whirlpool by the waves created by the explosion.
Because of that, he met his fateful end sooner than planned.
The center of the vortex was revealed above the water’s surface due to the impact of the explosion.
The whirlwind blew, spewing foam higher than the foamy tide.
Boom! Boom!
A loud noise echoed through the center of the whirlpool, as if a giant grinder was spinning.
In fact, it sucked in the ships greedily, breaking them and tearing them apart.
The broken fragments were washed away beneath the swirling water, as if flushing a toilet.
The pirates screamed, but they had no choice but to share the ship’s fate.
The sight of the sea, which looked like a living predator, brought to mind the idea of a biological sea.
This is a hypothesis put forward by one environmentalist scholar: the ocean is literally a living organism.
It means responding to stimuli and moving according to one’s own will or instinct.
All movements of the sea, such as waves, currents, and the water cycle, are evidence of this.
That is why he said that if humans treat the ocean, which is a living organism, harshly by dumping trash in it and exploiting it, there will be a backlash.
Dr. Oh pointed out that this biological ocean theory became the theoretical foundation of the Ark Church’s plan for the great flood.
I didn’t believe Dr. Oh’s intellectualism or the biological ocean theory.
But when I saw the sea’s whirlpool swallowing up pirates so mercilessly, the sea felt like it was really alive.
Unlike the ships that were swallowed by the sea, some ships, including No. 864, were thrown out by the explosion.
It has moved away from the center of the vortex.
But with the bombardment, shooting, and even explosions, not many ships were left unscathed.
Even if you managed to escape the whirlpool, it seemed impossible to survive, whether it was a sinking ship, a ship that was half-broken and tilted, a ship with its stern blown off, or a ship with water rushing in.
At least the 864 that this butler was riding was fine.
Despite the large explosion, there was no major damage to the hull, perhaps thanks to the carefully installed steel plates.
The boats that were thrown out tried to escape the whirlpool.
Luckily, the outer wave they bounced off of had been temporarily weakened by the explosion.
The ships that could move slowly but steadily moved in the opposite direction of the whirlpool.
Ship No. 864 also went in the opposite direction, but on a different course than the other ships.
It came towards our Hallasan lake.
