Novel & Cerita Blackbeard: Terror At Sea

The ocean roiled with fury as a shadow loomed beneath the waves, growing larger until a sleek, black form broke the surface, sending a cascade of foam. A massive submarine, its hull emblazoned with menacing skulls, emerged beside the aircraft carrier. Figures launched from the sub, the one in the lead marked by a black eyepatch and a gleaming iron hook for a right hand, his chin adorned with a golden-yellow beard.

The crew had secured the sails and tied down everything loose, but the main deck remained open, a perfect stage for what was about to happen.

He just opened his hand. The drive fell. It didn't make a big splash. It hit the water with a soft plink and sank instantly.

It stayed visible for a second, a haunting crimson eye, and then the Mediterranean swallowed it whole. The silence that followed was terrifying. It was the sound of a billion dollars vanishing. It was the sound of our safety net being shredded. "Beacon is dead," Leo announced, his voice sounding relieved. "Signal is gone. The cutters are slowing down. They’ve lost the lock."

The pirate leader Red Beard contributed more than 1,000 gold coins worth of personal treasures. Yes, pirate leader Red Beard Hel was unaffected by the Dead Cloud spell when he led a raid on the Mage Tower construction site because he was in the rear command post.
