Where did my thicc Pirate Empress sis go, and why is this hairy old dude popping up instead?

Is the game company messing with me? Is this a joke?

I’m dead serious, WTF.

Bring back the Pirate Empress with her massive tits, damn it, hurry up!

Comments:

– [Look at this noob panicking lol]

– [LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

– [I was ready to drop my pants the moment the Pirate Empress showed up, but then this hairy dude appeared and now I feel like trash]

– [Did the devs lose their minds?]

– [This is too much, WTF]

Title: Honestly, there’s not much difference between the Pirate Empress and the Pirate King

Both are 8-head tall.

Both have big chests.

Both have thick thighs and hips.

The only difference is that one’s a bit hairier.

Comments:

– [F*ck.]

– [You kinda left out a lot of details, huh?]

– [Why didn’t you mention the difference in their abs and waistlines?]

– [Dumbass, if the Pirate Empress gets lipo, their measurements would be similar]

– [Oh]

– [You’re such an idiot]

Title: Hey, old-timers, isn’t it supposed to be the Pirate “Empress”?

WTF, old-timers, you said it was gonna be the Pirate Empress, but instead, we got this hairy old dude.

Did you trick me, dad?

Are we gonna go hunt for the One Piece next?

Damn it, I never thought we’d end up as Navy scrubs.

– [Take that back… what you just said…!]

– [LMAOOOOOO]

– [LMAOOOOOOOOO]

“Things are heating up.”

“Yeah.”

The gallery was exploding with nuclear-level rage over the fact that the boss wasn’t the thicc Pirate Empress but a bearded old man.

Especially the newbies who had just created their clans were reacting the most violently.

Title: WTF, it’s only been 1 day since I made the clan

Content: You damn devs!

Was it that hard to let us live happily ever after?!

You!

Damn!

Bastards!!!!!!

Comments:

– [Why are you so mad?]

– [I just got 3 clan members and was about to start a chill countryside life, but now everything’s ruined]

– [LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO]

– [Oh no]

Of course, in this situation, the newbies were trying to escape their clans to find a brighter future… but…

Title: How do I leave the clan?

For real, I wanna leave the clan and just live alone.

But I don’t know how to leave the clan. There’s no button in the status window menu.

Comments:

– [Oh, the system doesn’t allow you to leave within a week of joining]

– [And even if you leave, the clan’s influence stays for 3 days, so if the clan gets targeted, you’ll get attacked too LMAO]

– [WTF, this game’s trash] (Author)

Amidst the chaos, our superhuman, who had been watching my actions with curiosity, looked at me with sparkling eyes.

“As expected, Commander, you foresaw all of this!”

“Of course, I didn’t endure all this for nothing.”

And whether the gallery was on fire or not, the event was going to proceed as planned, step by step.

So, I decided to finally use the gacha I had been saving up.

Even though, along with Ignis, Belial, and Pashtira, my cruiser fleet led by the Overseer could handle most pirate invasions without breaking a sweat.

But, you know, the more firepower you have, the better.

So, I was ready to pull out some NEW firepower to counter those damn pirates.

But, of course, I forgot one thing at this point—my terrible luck. And the result of my pull?

[Common Equipment Box x10]

[Basic Destroyer x1]

······

“Ughhhhhhhhhh.”

After saving up for over three months, my 150-roll gacha spree yielded zero superhumans.

All I got were normal-grade ships—basically, the ones I could already produce.

Feeling my sanity slipping, I decided to take a day off, blaming it on my deteriorating condition.

==========

Meanwhile, at the exact moment Icarus was crying over their 150-roll disaster…

—————————————-

<Event>

<The Main Force of the Pirate King has been spotted!>

<Survive the onslaught of his fleet, known as one of the worst villains in the universe, and create your own legend!>

—————————————-

“Damn it.”

Just by sheer coincidence, because they happened to be closest to where the Pirate King respawned,

out of countless clans,

the leader of the “Hummingbird” clan, consisting of about 10 users who were the first to face the Pirate King, was spewing every curse word imaginable.

“Clan Leader, what do we do?”

“What do you mean, what do we do? If you don’t want to die, fight back.”

“Well, yeah, but…”

Since the clan was formed by newbies trying to cheer each other on, everyone was a newbie, and their superhuman firepower was… questionable.

The commanders gathered at the clan leader’s base all had looks of anxiety plastered on their faces.

But even so, they couldn’t just run away from this situation.

“Besides, our gacha luck hasn’t been that bad, right?”

“Oh, right…!”

“We’ve got an S-Class Cruiser and even an SS-Class Destroyer!”

Unlike someone who just wasted 150 rolls with nothing to show for it,

thanks to beginner’s luck,

while their superhuman forces were lacking, their fleet was actually in decent shape.

And it wasn’t just one person—all 12 members of the clan, including the leader, were in the same boat.

“Our plan is this: while the S-Class Cruiser, Baltimore, leads the cruiser fleet in a firefight… the SS-Class Destroyers, Kazemaru and Max, will flank the Pirate King’s fleet.”

“Hmm.”

“Sounds good.”

“Honestly, isn’t this the best formation we can pull off?”

“Plus, Baltimore is a defensive type, boasting the highest defense stats among cruisers.”

“So, half of our superhuman forces will be assigned to Baltimore to hold off the pirates’ boarding attacks during the siege.”

They were pouring out the best strategy they could come up with, determined not to go down without a fight.

But their determination lasted less than 30 minutes…

-KABOOOOOM!!!

“Ah… AHHHHH!!”

“Ba-Baltimore got one-shotted!”

“What the hell is that?! What even is that?!”

-ZZZZZZZZZ… KABOOM!

“Are you kidding me?! Every time they fire, a cruiser gets blown up!”

“The flanking force with Kazemaru and Max got wiped out!”

“How are there so many of them?!”

“Clan Leader, this is really not working.”

“Ugh, this game is so messed up.”

Facing users who had just started using cruisers as their main force,

the Pirate King brought out battleships—two whole tiers above cruisers—in a blatantly unfair move.

With each shot from the battleship’s ridiculous main cannon, a cruiser wasn’t just damaged—it was outright destroyed.

Watching all their carefully laid plans crumble, everyone’s morale shattered, and they hit the surrender button.
