"What's this damn quake? Did we encounter a storm? What was that useless navigator doing? He didn't even tell us to be prepared for a storm! I m gonna crush him to pieces for this mistake."
Suddenly Pachin came running inside the captain's room.
"Captain! Its a ship! I-It came falling from the sky"
"Wtf are you out of your mind? How can a ship fall from a sky? If you are messing with me I will mess up your head into a million pieces you fool!"
"H-hai captain"
Everyone gathered on the deck of the ship and stared at the beautiful ship in front of them.
"Looks like you were right. It looks like a pirate ship to me but i have never seen that flag before. Hey Dolman do you recognize it?"
"No captain. It seems like they are some newbie pirates since I have already memorized the flags of all the significant pirates in the whole north blue."
"What is up with their weird flag though. Why is the skull all round and blue?"
"Such a lame and stupid flag. Just goes to show how lame these pirates would be. They got a nice ship though. Lets raid it make it our new base instead of sinking it. It will be a waste of such a nice ship"
"Right. The only thing I don't get is how they fell from the sky though"
"Hehe captain maybe these noobs ran into some seaking which tossed their ship all the way over here. Talk about lame and stupid hahaha"
"wahahaahaaa ya you are right. Maybe they just lucky and managed to steal this ship from some noble and sat out to become pirates in the ocean like its a children's playground. Lets teach those kids how rough the real world is. Alright everyone get ready to plunder and kill, but be mindful of the ship. We don't want it damaged since it will be our new base!"
"Yeah!!"
Just as everyone started screaming and shouting in excitement, they saw a small head pop up from the deck of the other ship. A cute little girl with pink hair then came down from the cosmos to their ship and now stood in front of all the Bochan pirates.
"Etto... Hi everyone! My name is Milim Nava from the star demon pirates. We are kinda completely broke at the moment so we came here to take your treasure since we are pirates and that's what pirates do. Now everyone please hand over all your treasure before I steal it from you" said milim in her playful childish voice.
"What the hell? Are these really a bunch of kids playing pirates? This kid looks especially cute too. Lets capture them all and sell them to salve traders. Kids fetch a nice prize on the slave market, especially cute girls like this" said Dolman.
"Yosh! We will be having a big feast after this, so lets get to work boys! Catch her alive and any other precious slave you find on that ship and bring them here" ordered Bochan.
"Hehe that our captain. As merciless as ever. He won't hesitate to even kill children if it benefits him"
With this 4 of the pirates came forward to tie milim with a rope.
"Wahahaha Looks like rimuru was right. You people won't do this the easy way. Ok looks like its playtime for me!"
Saying this milim then immediately held the hand of the pirate trying to hit her in the head and just casually tightened her grip a little, which led to the bones of the pirate getting cracked, and then taking the stance of a bowler about to pitch a ball, flung him high in the air. He landed into the ocean 300m away.
" So who's next?" taunted milim with a sly smile.
The pirates immediately got scared and backed off.
"Oi oi looks like this kid's got some strength to back off. Looks like a good match for you Dolman. Go crush this kid."
"Yes captain"
"Oh no now the kid is gone. Dolman is the second strongest person here and captain's right hand man. He is the only one here known to have survived after taking a hit from our captain and was able to actually fight back. He is also a master of various martial arts and other fighting techniques. On top of that he -" And then they saw their vice captain Dolman getting flung in the same direction as the previous guy, only this time 3km away.
"W-w-whaaat? even Dolman was defeated that quickly? Captain please save us from this kid!"
The captain immediately wore his 10 ton heavy armor and took his 15 ton heavy hammer as if fully prepared to go all out in this battle.
"Huh. looks like I underestimated you kid. You are really strong. To be able to defeat my strongest subordinate like that. Looks like I have finally found a good match for myself. Ok then kid I will take care of you pers-"
"Just stop you bickering already. I m getting bored" shouted milim and immediately came running towards the captain and with one punch infused with ryou shattered his armor without damaging his internal body and then home-runned him too. The captain landed exactly at the same spot on top of Dolman.
The rest of the crew-
"WHOOOO! 3 homeruns in a row! Now I can go and brag to Ramiris and Veldora about my achievement. Hehe they will surely be jealous by how good I m noda! I m the best noda!" exclaimed milim while jumping happily.
"So which one of you is next?" asked milim.
"We give up!" shouted all pirates together while kneeling in front of milim.
"Please forgive us milim sama, we will give you all of our treasure right away. Please spare us"
"OK the bring all of your treasure here before i count to 20. 1...... 2......."
"H-hurry up everyone!"
And they started rushing and collecting everything they had on board.
"12.... 13...... "
"Make haste everyone!"
......
"19..... annnd 20. Lets see here. Wow that's a lot of treasure! Thank you everyone for your cooperation. It was nice doing business with you" said milim in her cheerful childish voice again.
"H-h-hai! It was our please milim sama"
"Ok then I m going now. Oh and remember. We are the star demon pirates, or stardom for short, and our captain is Rimuru Tempest. Go and spread our name as far as you can"
"Hai milim sama we will do as you say" they replied while trembling in fear.
With this milim left their ship and returned on the cosmos with all the treasure.
"Good work milim out there."
"Yep. You did it perfectly milim" said rimuru.
"Hehe Of course noda"
"Ok so now that our money problems are solved, lets continue our adventure!"
