26 The famed ship, Karakoa! (1/2)
”Get in!” Madame Soledad pointed to one of the rooms that glowed a beautiful blue color.
”Eh?” Pedro was confused. The Madame said he can pick any room he wants, but the room Madame Soledad tells Pedro to get in was an unfurnished room. It looked like an interrogation room made of steel with huge glasses that were probably two-sided. Yet, the blue light on the floor glowed beautifully.
”Tsk!” Madame Soledad pulled Pedro and pushed him inside the empty room.
”Ahh... Madame? Is this my room or your room?” He was confused seeing Madame Soledad enter the room and the metallic door automatically closing.
”Neither! But if you wanna stay here, you can!” She coldly replies as she faced a panel full of buttons glowing in blue light with numbers located beside the door. She then pressed the lowest number which was one.
”Authorization required! Please place your hand on the scanner screen!” A voice suddenly spoke somewhere in the room. While a blue light shone beside the panel full of buttons.
”Authorization my ass! I'm gonna wreck you, part by part if you don't get me to the first floor in minutes!” Madame Soledad angrily placed her hand by the scanner screen that it was about to shatter.
'An Elevator?' Pedro uttered while still being confused.
...
On the elevator control area, one man was sleeping on the chair while the other one was eating a bowl of noodles. When the man eating a bowl of noodles heard someone scream on one of the elevators he quickly looked at the security cameras placed and saw the irritated Madame Soledad, He quickly placed his bowl of noodles aside and reached the elevator radio, he pushed a button and spoke.
”My apologies Vicealmirante! First floor! right ahead!” He quickly controlled some complicated buttons and made the elevator move down smoothly and quickly, Making it so that Madame Soledad and Pedro won't feel dizzy when they reach the first floor.
”This voice! Zexau! then Xajua! you're slacking off again whilst in duty! you're dead when I see you again!” Madame Soledad was angered and Zexau, the man who was eating noodles in the elevator control area had a grim face. He then slapped the bald head of the sleeping man, Xajua.
”Ouch!!! What's that for!” The angry Xajua complained to Zexau. Zexau ignored him and just pointed to the screen in a scared manner.
”Oh!!! Hi Vicealmirante! How... how was your trip?” Xajua suddenly looked grim and was like someone whose faith was sealed and death was scheduled.
”Xajuaaaa!” Madame Soledad screamed on the top of her lungs, as they descend in a slant manner and Pedro was able to see the beautiful underwaters where fishes were around... other than that he was shocked to see the real ship Madame Soledad was telling.
It was a massive sword looking ship with two smaller swords looking ships as an outrigger. (It actually looked like a sword blade from a katana.)
'Wait a minute! Based on its looks... Ain't this the famed ship, Karakoa? During the continental war and start of the Dark realm continent exploration, an isolated NPC ”government” group existed and it was called Bearth Human Organization... BHO! They were a collective group of NPC humans from all over the Bearth that aims to protect the sacred ”god's continent” and regain the stolen lands which were the Dark realm continent.' He had a sudden realization based on the beautiful underwater look he sees while they were going down the elevator
The overall progress of reclamation of the dark realm continent was too slow that even during the time Pedro died and reincarnated, the reclaimed land didn't even reach ten percent. This was because players were too afraid to explore the dark realm continent and feared that they might lose their own plot of lands. Hence, to show their participation at the least, some sent their ”excess” or ”cannon fodder” forces into which none came back.
They all had one consolation in their minds... ”At least we didn't get in the BHO's bad side!”
