Rise of the Malactric Heir

Later that day, just after nightfall while everyone was eating dinner, the ship suddenly shook as though it was being forcefully stopped by something.

"Is it another storm?" Nina inquired as Adora's eyes began to glow red as she heard a commotion on deck.

"That doesn't look like a storm," Adora said as she stood up.

"So, what exactly is it?" Aerav questioned.

"Your highness," a crew member said as he rushed into the living room, and she looked at him.

"What's the problem?" she asked.

"It's the pirates they were talking about," he panted in response.

"I see," Kyris replied.

"Is anyone hurt?" Adora asked.

"No, but they have the captain, and I don't think they realize it's your ship," he replied and Adora smirked.

"Then let's leave it that way and go see those pirates," she suggested.

"Your highness, it's dangerous, and they are cruel," the young man replied and Adora patted him on the shoulder.

"It will be fine, go back to work and relax," she said as she walked away, leaving the others wondering what she was about to do yet they followed her.

"So captain, will you surrender this ship peacefully or will I have to take it by force?" the pirate asked as he shoved the captain to kneel before him, at the same time Adora arrived on deck, when she saw that she clenched her fists in anger.

"What's going on here?" Adora questioned.

"Oh, you have guests," the pirate captain said as his men pointed guns and swords at her and the others.

"What are you doing on my ship?" Adora questioned, her gaze fixed on the captain, who smirked.

"Who are you?" the captain asked as he was about to order the others to kneel before him, but Alix grabbed his arm and drew him in for a closer look.

"They are not going to kneel in front of you," Alix stated and the others smiled.

"Then I will deal with them," the captain said as his men aimed at Alix.

"Damn it, what are pirates for in this age? I have met pirates before, but they are not as bad as you," Adora said and he chuckled as he shoved Alix away from him.

"You are quite rude; who do you think you are?" "I don't care what you say, we pirates have more rights over the sea than you, and we won't work under any stupid royals' rule," he replied and Kyris sighed.

"Man, you should really watch out, she is going to kick your ass now, and I am not going to stop her, we don't mind having pirates around, but if you are going to try to rule the seas and do wrong things, you are as good as dead," Kyris said.

"You bastard," he shouted as he was about to hit Kyris but Alix punched him to the floor.

"Shut up, you're annoying as hell," Alix said, and the guy smirked as he stood back up.

"You guys will set a good example for those who come after you," he yelled as his eyes glowed purple and tentacles began to form from his hand, and Adora sighed.

"That is one gross ability," Kyllan said and they all looked at gum then he smiled.

"How valuable is your ship to you?" Adora inquired as his tentacles approached her neck.

"As one's life," he replied, and her eyes turned bright red.

"I will kill you with your ship and crew," she said as she leaped into the air, and they looked at her.

"Is she going to kill them?" Alix questioned.

"Yeah, she will, she punishes people for their actions, and he obviously killed many, Adora doesn't mind getting blood on her hands," Kyris replied, as the captain looked at them.

"Adora, you say?" the captain asked and Adora went onto the pirate ship deck.

"Say your goodbyes," she advised.

"You are the mother murderer, according to rumors," the guy said, and Adora's entire body began to glow red as she vanished and reappeared in front of the captain.

"What did you say?" she asked.

"He is really making things worse for himself," Kyris said while his eyes glowed blue and suddenly all of the pirate crew's weapons from their hands began to pull and they released them then Kyris tossed them into the sea without even touching them.

"Do you or anyone else have any evidence that I murdered my mother?" She inquired, and they looked at her before she looked at Alix.

"Would you sink the ship for me?" she asked and Alix's eyes became as red as the iron claw that started to appear on his hand.

"It's forming on its own, my powers are strange," Alix thought as he jumped aboard the pirate ship and placed his claw on the deck's floor.

"Let's see what you can do," Alix said, as the claw began to glow red and blue and the floor began to crack.

"Add a little more strength, think about this practice," Adora said as he pressed the claw down, causing the entire ship to shake while Aerav and the others watched.

"Captain, how many ships have this man taken down, and how many people has he killed?" Adora questioned.

"More than 50 ships have been lost in the last two years, and many lives have been lost with them all because of him, am I lying?" the captain asked as he rose on his feet and the pirate captain scoffed.

"No, you are not; most of them were just rich people flaunting their wealth at fancy parties," he replied.

"No matter what happened to you in life, you have no right to take that many lives," Alix said, and Adora smirked.

Alix's body glowed brighter, and Kyris' eyes widened as he stared at the boy.

"There is something oddly familiar about that energy he is releasing, I have sensed something similar before," Kyris muttered as the man pushed Adora away from him, wanting to stop Alix from taking his ship apart.
