Pirate!SpainxPirate!Reader A Pirate's Life! Ch 30

RPOV  (Random POV)

"Captain, (Name) and her crew are getting closer and closer,"  A crew member says, saluting his captain.

"And?"  The captain's voice is gravely, full of annoyance.  He glances up from the chair he's sitting in, a snarl on his mouth.  Two women, who sit on each side of him, have one of their hands on his shoulder, and the other, caressing his arms.  "I don't remember wanting to kill a girl named (Name),"  He almost snarls.

"W-well, remember that Spanish kid?"  The crew member almost squeaks, shaking in fear.

"Spanish kid…?"  The captain, strokes his beard, thinking, a puzzled expression on his face.  Then, remembrance sinks in.  "Ah, that's right.  He owes me a life."  Suddenly, he connects two and two together, and a smile spreads across, his rotten teeth in full view.  "Ah, so it's her then?"  He laughs out loud, his head tilted back, his smile getting wider and wider in glee.  "I do enjoy seeing people in pain.  This will be easy and quick; women are easy to crack."

"A-actually, she's not like...erm....'normal' women,"  The crew member says, slowly backing up, until his back touches the walls.

The captain's smile falters slightly, then it returns, though this time, it's more curiosity.  "And what do you mean by that?"  He asks, leaning forward putting his hand under his chin.  The member quickly reveals a now crumpled piece of paper from his clenched hands, and hands it to the captain.

"This, cannot be her,"  The captain scoffs, pointing to the girl's picture, her smile cocky.  "I've done my research, and all I've found is that she's a freaking princess of a dinky little town.  This,"  He pauses and points to the picture of a girl, sneering up at him, "girl in the picture looks like she won't need rescuing; she doesn't look like a normal princess."

"B-but sir, it really is her; the resemblance is almost uncanny,"  The member protests.

"I was promised a weak life to kill, and I will get it.  I won't settle to battle her,"  The captain says, waving his hand airily.  He sits back in his chair, folding his hands over his lap, and closing his eyes.

"I didn't know you were scared of a little girl,"  A voice says, making the captain open one of his eyes.

"Yeah, I didn't come to work for you for you to be scared off by some piratess,"  Another voice chimes in.  Two figures appear in the doorway, one tall, and lean, the other short, and lithe.  

It's the two assassins the captain hired; Master Austin, master of far-ranged weapons, and Master Jirard, master of close-ranged weapons.

"I'll tell you what we're not going to do,"  Master Jirard says, indicating him and Master Austin.  "We're not going to back down from this so called famous piratess."

Master Austin nods, and flicks one of his blades out.  He fingers with it a while, before chucking it at the wanted poster.  The knife drags the paper out of the captain's hands, embedding it into the wall.  "We're going to kill her,"  He states calmly, like he was talking about the weather.

"We won't allow your nervousness of some girl, to destroy our job,"  Master Jirard says, turning around to leave.  "We'll be leaving now."

The two disappear, before the captain can say even a word.  Both his eyes are now open, his eyebrows raised in surprise.

"S-sir, should we do something about them?"  Th member asks his eyes wide.

"No, I want to see how this will end up.  Besides, the two assassins will be  good warning to her,"  The captain says, leaning back in his chair, and stroking his beard.  "And, this is my chance to see how strong this so called pirate princess really is?"  He jerks his head towards the paper, that is still stuck to the wall.  "A pathetic pirate wouldn't even come close to how much a money lot people will pay to have her head on a platter, so she must be strong."

He flicks his hand, dismissing the crew member.  "Go, tell the others to get ready for battle; I'm going to guess that she's going to come straight for us, after our little 'greeting' goes to her."

"Y-yes sir."  The crew member quickly exits the room, looking like a scared animal.

The captain dismisses the women also, asking to be alone.  With a sigh, the two women leave the captain to his thoughts.  Let's see if you can live up to your reputation of being the Demoness of the Sea, (Name)...
