Just as the captain was about to shout, "Stop the ship and prepare to fight to the death," a hand suddenly clamped tightly over his mouth.
His eyes widened in shock, fury flashing across his face.
Twisting his head, he was stunned to see that the one silencing him was none other than his most trusted first mate.
The first mate kept one hand over the captain's mouth, the other restraining both of his arms.
"If you want to die, fine—we'll grant your wish," he growled. "But if you plan to take the rest of us down with you, that's where we draw the line, Captain."
Without hesitation, the first mate grabbed a length of rope and tightly bound the captain, tying him up from shoulders to feet.
The captain glared daggers at him.
"I treated you well, d*mn it! And this is how you repay me?!" he shouted.
His eyes then swept across the rest of the crew.
"What the hell are you all waiting for?! Kill this traitor!"
But no one moved.
Instead of rushing to his aid, the crew stood silent, heads bowed, avoiding his gaze like they hadn't seen a thing.
It finally sank in. He had been completely betrayed.
"You spineless b*stards," the captain snarled. "You think handing me over will make them spare you? D*mn it all—if I die, you're all going down with me! The Emperor will never forgive—mmph!"
Before he could finish, someone stuffed a rag into his mouth. The foul stench made him gag and struggle violently, muffled grunts escaping as his face twisted in rage.
The first mate stared him down coldly.
"Shut up already. You expect us to die for a selfish prick like you? You really think we didn't notice you stashing away food for yourself each time? You think we didn't see through your games?"
The captain fell silent.
He hadn't expected his secrets to be so thoroughly uncovered.
"Hoist the white flag," the first mate ordered. "Stop the ship. Wait for them."
With that, the crew jumped into action.
