Chapter 11
As time passed, the number of victims increased..
The marauders navigating the rough sea looked horrified..
Bangjun decided that he had no time to do anything anymore and screamed as if there was nothing he could do..
“Everyone get out of the way! The pirates of the South Sea, this Bangjun is the one to deal with.!”
“I'm tired of waiting.”
Joo Seocheon welcomed me as if he had been waiting for me..
If he had wanted to, he could have defeated the Japanese pirates and dealt with Bangjun, but since there were as many as five pirate ships nearby, he acted like this to show overwhelming inaction so that they wouldn't get the wrong idea..
“Captain!”
“boss!”
“big brother!”
I heard people calling Bangjun here and there..
Not only the languages of Central Plains but also Joseon and Japanese were mixed together..
“I don't know what you're doing, but this is the end of your proud life. I'll finish it right away.”
Bangjun put his left foot in front and moved his right foot back..
The Japanese sword he held was called Nodachi (野太刀), and its blade was more than three feet long..
The blade is curved like a curved sword and has a single edge like a typical waedo..
That day had such an air of anticipation that even the slightest touch would cut it, and even at a glance, it was not out of the ordinary..
Also, another characteristic feature was that the middle of the blade had a wave pattern, like waves crashing..
It seemed like it was tailored to Bangjun, who is tall and bulky..
“Haenam Ildo Ryu (Haenam Ildo Ryu)).”
Joo Seocheon memorized Dobeop’s name instead of Bangjun..
“Wow, I can't believe I recognize this body's martial arts skills..”
Bangjun cocked his nose and looked proud..
Haenam Ildo-ryu was a martial arts method created by a military man in Haenam Island in the past, influenced by the Haenam Sword School and the Japanese martial arts methods..
It was once one of the martial arts that dominated Haenam Island, but it was a martial arts that eventually disappeared into history..
The biryeop wandered around Haenam Island and were eventually plundered by Japanese pirates and ultimately placed in the hands of Bangjun..
Before finding the pirate ship, Haenam Geompa taught me relatively detailed information about pirates..
‘Haenam Ildo-ryu is a style of art from both sides of the island..
Since the philosophy of death is included in the daily routine, you can avoid it at all costs..’
There were ways to block with self-defense techniques, but since ancient times, martial arts that risk everything on a single strike have unusual power..
There was no harm in being careful, so I decided to avoid it..
It's not as easy as it sounds, but it was a worthy attempt with Hyun-kyung's reflexes and physical ability..
“There will be nowhere to run now. Maybe it's because you made a fuss, but it's full of sharks down there..”
Bangjun laughed loudly..
Sharks carrying the blood of pirates flocked in..
“Before I cut you down, I have a question to ask..”
“There are so many dirty words. ask.”
“It looks like he is a top 100 master of the Jungwon Martial Arts. What is his name??”
Bangjun planned to increase his reputation by killing the brat in front of him..
‘No, it's not a baby.’
A warrior who has achieved the pinnacle of martial arts ages slowly..
Even though it appeared to be a contract, it was clear that it was in fact thirty to forty..
“This is Juseocheon of the volcanic wave..”
“……?”
Bangjun trembled..
“what?”
“It is called Juseocheon of the volcanic wave..”
“……”
Beads of sweat formed on Bangjun’s forehead..
“Captain?”
The pirates also looked at Bangjun with curious eyes, as if they felt something was strange..
Joo Seocheon also tilted his head..
“What, you are not me?”
Well, since it is the Seven Seas of the Supreme Heaven, it was easy to understand..
“No, it's fun to joke about..”
Although Bangjun stuttered his answer, he concentrated on examining Joo Seo-cheon's facial expressions one by one..
“Ji, Ji, Ji, there is no way that person who should be in Haenam Island by now is here. don't lie.”
“that……”
Joo Seocheon was about to answer but closed his mouth..
His eyes narrowed sharply..
‘Haenamdo? not midfield?’
The fact that he left for Haenam Island is the latest information that only those in the know know..
You don't know unless you have an information organization..
Zhuge Sang even controls information..
It was strange that pirates in the South Sea, and not an intelligence group in the Central Plains, knew..
It wasn't long before we arrived at Haenam Island and helped the Haenam Swordsman..
I still only know Haenam Geompa..
“what are you doing……”
with a plop!
What happened next was something no one expected.
Bangjun gave up his mourning and threw himself overboard..
“standing, captain?”
The pirates were dumbfounded and looked down at Bangjun swimming diligently in a direction that was neither Haenam Island nor Jungwon..
“shut up! Captain, do it yourself.!”
“Stand up, captain! shark! shark!”
“shark? Fuck you! I'd rather go toe-to-toe with a group of sharks!”
Bangjun looked up at Joo Seocheon and was horrified..
“Aaaah, sipal! It's Ju Seocheon!”
The pirates of the South Sea began to flee..
“where!”
Taat!
Joo Seocheon followed after him as if it were no problem..
He kicked the ground on the ship and threw himself overboard as if he were jumping, and then, energized by Yongcheonhyeol, stepped on the surface of the water..
Before you lose your footing, quickly take the next step.
Every time I put my foot down, the water surged up from my back foot, as if I was splashing in the water..
A group of sharks also ran away in surprise..
“no!”
Bangjun screamed and tried to dive..
“ok!”
Joo Seo-cheon snatched Bang Jun by the scruff of his neck and returned to the pirate ship..
Cooung!
The two men jumped high and landed spectacularly on board, causing the ship to shake violently..
“vs. alternative……”
“I just saw it……?”
astonishment and disbelief.
Those two emotions swirled..
Exclamations of exclamation erupted from all over the place..
It was natural to show force rather than human force..
Even though the man was not a god, he jumped on the water, soared to a height of more than one foot, and landed on the boat..
Since he was a sailor who especially valued superstition, everyone glanced at Ju Seocheon with reverence..
“Oh shit……”
Bangjun, who was a master of flower painting, did not even think about resisting, but just sulked with a tearful expression on his face..
“What are you doing??”
Joo Seocheon asked, but Bangjun fell asleep..
“Amcheonhoeji?”
“Amcheonhoe?”
Dan Lihua reacted with his eyes wide open as if he was surprised..
Jo Yang-seon didn't seem to have heard anything about Amcheonhoe, so she just tilted her head..
Bangjun kept his mouth shut and neither confirmed nor denied..
“Ha, your feet are wide too. Even the pirates are included?”
Sometimes the unspoken word is positive.
“explain.”
“……”
Bangjun didn't even try to make eye contact..
Joo Seo-cheon moved the sword to Bang Jun's neck and spoke again..
“Judging from the fact that he jumped overboard, he seems to be very considerate of his life, isn't he??”
“Ugh……”
“Okay, let's talk in the cabin.?”
The roots of Amcheonhoe, the bureaucracy tried every means possible to escape the purges of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the emperor at the time..
Among them, there were those who thought that by borrowing the power of the Japanese on the east coast, they could escape to distant places such as Haenam Island or other provinces..
So what I came up with was the inclusion of why..
However, it was not as easy as I thought.
Because the overall scale of the Japanese pirates was so large, they were actually as powerful as the Murim League, Sadocheon, and Madou Ise..
So, after much deliberation, I decided to plant a few subordinates and cooperate or take control of only the South Sea area..
The three seas of Joseon, Japan, and the central plains were impossible, but the one sea of the central plains was enough..
Afterwards, Amcheonhoe made various suggestions to the pirates of the South Sea through the infiltrated Chilseong privateers and Japanese pirates, or predicted the movements of transport routes and naval forces and increased its influence through stable and successful plunder..
Based on this achievement, they gathered power and gained recognition within the Japanese pirates, and as a result, they exerted influence on the Namhae region..
And one of them was the pirate Bangjun..
“Oh, don't get me wrong. Although it was once a member of the Amcheonhoe's Dogambu, it is now independent..”
“It was independent?”
The governor died in Nanman..
But the organization did not disappear when the leader died..
Joo Seocheon's head turned quickly..
“Are you saying that you betrayed the Dark Heaven Society??”
“Yes.”
No matter how wide Amcheonhoe's feet were and how powerful it was, it was difficult to completely control the Japanese pirates..
Japanese pirates are not settling anywhere..
Move your residence and spend half your life on the sea.
Just as the absolute power of the emperor did not extend well to the provinces, the power of the Amcheonhoe also had its limits..
Moreover, Bangjun was not a member of the Dark Heaven Society from the beginning..
I just accepted the offer from the Japanese pirates they sent along the way..
Like Maeng Kang, who was the lender of Jeoklim Eighteen Houses, it was close to a cooperative relationship..
I only joined to take advantage of them..
“……Hmm.”
It was a pretty plausible argument..
But I couldn't completely believe what he said..
A pirate like no other, and isn't he the most vicious of them all?.
Even a fool won't believe it.
“If you want to persuade, do it right. Even if you betrayed the Amcheonhoe in the first place, there is no way your head would be hanging on your neck..”
Traitors are not tolerated in the Dark Heaven Club..
No matter how far out to sea you are, Jade Fortress will come to you..
“It certainly might have been like that in the past..
But, thanks to you, Joo Seocheon, there is nothing I can do about it..”
“It's my fault?”
Bangjun shook his head up and down..
“okay. You, no, you and the defeated army weakened the power of the Amcheonhoe. When the Amcheonhoe was short on hands, they gritted their teeth at my betrayal, but had no choice but to request that we at least maintain a cooperative relationship..”
Bangjun joined the Amcheonhoe and worked for them in order to gain authority within the Japanese pirates..
However, as it gradually achieved results and stabilized over time, skepticism arose about Amcheonhoe..
“The purpose of Amcheonhoe is the collapse and conquest of the Jungwon martial arts group..
But to me, midfield is fine..
I have no intention of going back to that place at all..”
Bang Jun is the son of Bang Guk-jin, who has already become a traitor, and has long been known as the son of a pirate..
Even if I return to the central plains, the only thing waiting for me is death..
To him, the central plain was just one of the areas to plunder..
My family was also hiding on a ship or on a nearby island that was a base for Japanese pirates, so I didn't want to return home..
“The only reason I joined in the first place was because I wanted to use them to dominate the South Sea. The purpose was achieved, and the Amcheonhoe was not the same as before, so I took the opportunity to betray..”
Bangjun is not a pirate who is only strong and greedy..
Like a pirate who ruled the seas of the South Sea, he was also smart..
Amcheonhoe provided the Japanese pirates with transportation routes, shipping routes, and the location of their naval forces, and received a large share of plunder..
Among them were secret ledgers of officials and martial arts of clans..
Above all, it had many uses as it was responsible for secretly transporting materials and people..
The problem is that, given that we were about to prepare for a great war, giving up on it would have been quite fatal..
Of course, there was a way to take Bangjun’s place..
However, Bangjun's influence was greater than expected..
Most of the time I was in the sea so I couldn't keep my balance..
If Bangjun is lost here, Amcheonhoe will have to work hard again..
The problem was that I couldn't afford it..
Didn't they drag in the Demonic Cult because they didn't have enough hands?.
‘Ha, indeed. If this is really true……’
Even though he was martial arts, his brain was also extraordinary..
I made great gains by taking advantage of my surroundings and the situation I found myself in..
“Trust me. It's true.”
“Did they get the information about me so quickly??”
“It's not just information.
I received a request to either tie you up in Haenam Island as much as possible, or deal with it..”
“Even though lives are involved, I think that's being too gentle..”
Dan Lihwa huffed and crossed his legs..
Bang Jun glanced at Dan Lihua's thighs, swallowed his saliva, and then returned his eyes to their original position..
“Unless you're crazy, you're a monster... … No, there's no way I'm going to fight the Sword God head-on. i don't want to die.”
Although Bangjun was not the head of the eight organizations like the Chilseongsa or the Dogambujang, he was still in a middle position..
As a result, I received a lot of information..
I had received dozens of requests to determine the location of Ju Seocheon, fearing that he might have moved by sea..
He was one of the people who knew very well what an absurd monster the Archenemy's greatest nemesis was..
“I received a request from the Amcheonhoe, but I had no intention of carrying it out..
Because I didn't want to get involved, I didn't go near Haenam Island and was just wandering around the nearby waters..”
‘Is it true or is it a lie??’
The better my head worked, the more alert I became..
Just looking at the expression makes you feel like you're going crazy because it's so unfair, but in reality, it's all a lie and it might have been an act..
I couldn't believe it yet, so I put it in a corner of my head and continued talking..
“So, what is Namhae Yongmun doing? Is that place too??”
A mysterious sect that is unknown in both the past life and the present life..
The scale and force were unusual, so I thought it might be related to the Amcheonhoe..
“I do not know.”
Joo Seocheon's eyes showed murderous intent..
“I really don't know, so calm down.!”
Bangjun was scared and took a step back..
Although he was afraid, he spoke clearly..
“I swear to the sky and the sea that I don’t know much about the Namhae Dragon Gate. Do you think you will tell me in detail about the Amcheonhoe, who betrayed me in the first place and became a partner??”
“You must have heard something before that.?
If it’s Namhae… … No, it's done..”
The Amcheonhoe members have limited information about each other, unless they are the leaders. This is a secret that has been with me for a long time..
The Japanese are busy with their own territory and work..
Since there was no time to reach out to Haenam Island's power structure, there was a high possibility that he would not speak out..
There was a high possibility that he knew less than he did..
My mind was complicated..
Many thoughts ran through my head..
It was a little frustrating, but there's no use worrying too much now..
‘You will find out if you go to Namhae Yongmun..’
The face that was full of worry has cleared up a bit..
“Bangjun.”
“What, what?.”
“I heard the story well.”
“I'll do anything if it saves my life.”
Bangjun was a dog with a wagging tail..
The Joo Seo-cheon he saw was not a hero, but a monster..
“Oh, before that, I have a little question to ask.……”
“……?”
“Could you please tell me how much loot was looted and how many people were killed??”
Joo Seocheon smiled kindly and asked.
Bangjun quickly turned his head and looked..
‘If you want to save your life, are you telling me how useful I am??’
It was a pirate-like way of thinking..
“Don't worry there are too many to count..”
“okay. I guess I can dig it up with peace of mind. thanks.”
“Just kidding! I didn't kill a single person... … Hehehe!”
Powok!
Bangjun fell backwards with his fist stuck in his chin..
“I'll save your life.”
Ju Seo-cheon looked down at Bang Jun with cold eyes and plunged his sword into the lower part of his body below his navel..
“Big, wow! Promise and… … different……”
“Your life was saved, so there is no need to worry..”
Joo Seo-cheon grabbed Bang Jun's back, opened the door to the captain's cabin, and went outside..
The attention of the pirates who were tied up with ropes on board the ship gathered..
Everyone had a scared face..
After Joo Seo-cheon kicked Bang Jun's ass, he asked Jo Yang-seon to interpret..
“please spread the word.
‘If you don't want to end up like this, take out all your assets.' Called.”
When Jo Yang-seon said so, the pirates raised their hands..
“Is it all over now??”
Dan Lihua followed behind and asked..
Joo Seo-cheon put his hand in his arms, checked the book, and then nodded..
“Let’s go back to Haenam Island..”
The next day, the area around Haenam Island became noisy..
Not only was the pirate group that had been harassing the Namhae area for a long time subdued, but the loot was returned to the ship..
People praised Ju Seo-cheon's name, and when they heard that he was in the Haenam Geom Sect, they also praised the Haenam Geom Sect..
The martial arts captured from Bang Jun, the water-human arts, were not unrivaled martial arts, but they were still a martial arts of rising proportions..
The basic ability is to be able to breathe for a long time underwater using inner energy instead of air and to move freely..
‘It's not that difficult.’
Joo Seo-cheon absorbed Su-in-gong with all his might..
He had a body suitable for any type of martial arts due to his transformation, and had reached the highest level and had sufficient enlightenment..
In addition, it was said that martial arts is a species of martial arts, and the part that deals with the yin energy of Ilwol Shrine, which has the nature of yin and yang, is in line with hand crafts, so it was highly understood..
Above all, ‘following a lesson’, which is the realization of imagery, shined..
‘It's not a great level, but it's only about half that level of training, so it's not that much of a problem..’
Breathe in and breathe out.
I cried while remembering the story of Suin-gong in my head..
Achieved the feat of a craftsman in just one day..
He achieved the achievement of the opposite sex in two days, and was promoted to Samsung on the fourth day..
There are a total of ten stars, so until half of them, five stars, there are only two stars left..
For reference, water crafts are more efficient when practiced underwater..
So I found a cave with water in advance and went in to focus..
The rank of major was assigned to the escort..
Perhaps because I was so focused, I didn’t even bother to eat anything..
Anyway, once you become an absolute expert, you can survive for a week or so without drinking a sip of water, so there was no problem..
‘While I'm at it, I should try learning Haenam Ildoryu too..’
When I looked into Bangjun's pirate group, I came across many things..
There were many martial arts, including those from the Jungwon and Saeroyi martial arts as well as Japanese martial arts..
There was really a lot to go through..
Among them, if I had to choose a martial art that was useful, it was definitely Haenam Ildo-ryu..
It was significant as a method of swordsmanship..
However, since I opened it with a sword that was not a sword or a sword, there was a misalignment..
But it wasn't a big problem.
Haenam Ildo-ryu was, in fact, the only Ilcho style method..
I don't know if it was necessary to link up with Chosik, but it didn't matter because it was a martial arts skill that only kills with a single blow to win the day..
It was optimal to spread it out, but if you somehow pushed it to the limit, you could replace it with a sword..
Originally, Haenam Ildo-ryu was a martial art that was created under the influence of Haenam Geompa and Japanese..
There was no big problem even if I switched to a sword..
‘I didn't have enough sword skills, but it worked out well..’
I was able to learn about quick swords through Haenam Ildo-ryu..
The swords of volcanoes include Nangeom, Hwangeom, and Sangeom..
It's not that there wasn't a sharp sword, but it wasn't as great as the season..
As its name suggests, Manjunggeom is heavy..
‘Haenam Ildo-ryu, or rather Haenam Ildo-ryu?.’
Joo Seocheon successfully improved Haenam Ildo style..
Meanwhile, Haenam Island was noisy in many ways..
“They said Bangjun was caught by the government office.?”
“I heard it was subjugated by a master of the Jungwon martial arts group..”
“Master of Jungwon Murim?”
“Yes, I'm talking about Geomshin Joo Seo-cheon..”
“Even so, does it make sense for a young man who is only a mere mortal to be the Seven Seats of Heaven? There must be something wrong with me.”
“Still, the great thing is the same.
Don’t they say they subdued that killer Japanese pirate?.”
“To be honest, I didn’t like the recent actions of the Haenam Swordsman… … Maybe I'm misunderstanding.”
Haenam Province, which had been out of touch with Jungwon for a long time, learned many things, but was not so quick to believe them..
Humans are creatures that are hard to believe even when you see them with your own eyes..
If it was news from across the sea, there was no need to worry..
Even though he believed that he had subdued Bang Jun, a powerful man in the South Sea and a notorious pirate, Geomshin treated him as nonsense..
However, when Namhae swordsman Wi Il-hae came forward and spoke in person, the level of disbelief changed to half-confidence..
“Joo Seocheon… … No, what does it matter whether Joo Seocheon Daehyeop is a swordsman or not? He is the greatest of all the greatest.”
“Cancer, whatever.!”
Joo Seocheon’s popularity soared in Haenam Island..
Whether there is truth about inaction is second..
The important thing was to eliminate the pirates and return the loot to the ship..
“Come on, stand in line.!”
Bangjun, the captain of the pirate team, was both greedy and suspicious..
He even created a ledger to keep track of in case someone among his subordinates stole the loot..
Thanks to this, we were able to easily find the source of the looted items and return them..
In addition, they added various things as compensation for the damage done so far..
They also distributed money to the poor..
The Haenam Geompa was also able to take a breather by solving its material and financial shortage with this looted item..
