Chapter 76: The New Karakoa Main Crew!
"Step aside! You in my way human!" Faunia mocked the shocked beyond belief Aldo as she continued to charge towards the other wolves.
"Eh?" The nine people escaping, including Aldo, stared in Faunia who charged towards the wolves like they were her prey.
...
From a distance...
"Talia, be careful..." Mathew halted and warned as he saw the figure of Aldo and the other players with him.
"Players?" Talia hid behind Mathew as she glanced towards the group. Pedro's attention was shifted from the herbs and ingredients he was harvesting to the group.
"Hmm..." Pedro placed his hand in Mathew's shoulder as if saying 'Let me handle this!'. He walked towards the group as a short-haired woman felt Pedro's presence and grasped another set of a blood-red knife.
'Pen-Knife? Then... they are...' Pedro smirked as he approached the group. When he was meters away the other players noticed him.
"Sabrina?" Pedro frowned as the pen-knife escaped from his sleeves and started to rotate at full speed. The pen-knife's rotation was so fast that it looked like Pedro has a force field around him.
"Ped... Pedro?" Sabrina stares at Pedro with a frown as she inspects the familiar figure.

"PEDRO!" Sabrina rushed towards him, not minding the "Pen-Knife Barrier" protecting him. Her actions astounded everyone, even Pedro.

'Gentle Breeze... It is Sabrina!' Pedro had no choice but to halt his "Pen-Knife Barrier" as Sabrina inched closer to him.
Upon reaching Pedro, Sabrina hugged him tightly as if she missed him allot. Aldo and the rest of Pedro's group facepalmed themselves as they felt embarrassed by Sabrina's actions. His mother and Aunt frowned, as they were unable to grasp the situation unfolding right before them.
"I didn't think that their relationship would be at this level. I don't want to tolerate such... things or actions, but... I am not against it either." Pedro's father smirked as he held Pedro's mother's hands as if saying 'our son is a grown-up now!'. His father holding his mother's hands made his mother calmed a bit.
'It's not what you think! Uhm... Sabrina... what are you doing?' Pedro had an awkward smile as he witnesses the reaction of his parents, aunt, and his groupmate.
"Uhm..." Pedro blushed as his heart started to beat faster.
"Oh..." After a few seconds, Sabrina got back to her self and realized what her emotions made her do unconsciously. She also had an embarrassed look as her heart started to beat faster. 'What did I just do?'
"Uhm... It's not what you think! It's just... It's just that, I am glad... because after everything that has happened, the accident and stuff, I was still able to see Pedro!" Sabrina tried to explain while keeping her embarrassed look.
"We understand!" Pedro's father walked towards Pedro with her mother and aunt.

'Mother? Father?' Pedro felt a tinge of happiness as his attention was shifted to the two figures who were approaching him.
"Hahaha! Son! You look great!" His father patted his shoulder as his mother dusted his coat.
"Of course! To whom would I inherit this 'great' traits of mine? It's no other than you!" Pedro smiled as he hugged his mother and father.
"We miss you son!" Her mother whispered in a sad voice.
...
Mathew and Talia stood as back up, meters away from Pedro. They watch the events unfold. They can only act once Pedro took damage and falls back. And only upon considering that the situation is not hostile, that they can come out. This was their protocol when they face other players.
"It seems like everything is fine, should we head and pick the wolf corpses, brother?" Talia asked Mathew who was still carefully watching the other players.
"Let's go. If something bad happens, we have Faunia!" Mathew started walking towards Pedro and the group.
Swooosh!
"Young Lady! You're fast!" Mathew wore a serious expression as Sabrina pointed the tip of his knife to Mathew's neck while Mathew's newbie sword touched the side of Sabrina's neck. Sabrina didn't bat her eyes that were filled with killing intent.
"Who are you?" Sabrina asked as if she looked like a professional killer with no emotions.
"I am his subordinate!" Mathew gestured his head to point towards Pedro.
"Is it true?" Sabrina asked without glancing back to Pedro. She kept her attention towards Mathew.
"Relax! We're all allies here!" Pedro confirmed with a smile as he glances towards Mathew and Sabrina.
"Then..." Sabrina retracted her knife and stepped back.
'This girl... It seems like Expert Brother knew a player with high potential.' Mathew chuckled as he glances to Sabrina's Character.
"Oi Human! Enough with those hugging! Bof is about to rise!" Everyone, except Mathew, Talia, and Pedro who were already accustomed to Faunia's sudden appearing and disappearing, was surprised when she suddenly appeared beside Pedro.
'Who is this girl?' Sabrina frowned as she inspected Faunia. 'This...'
"Yeah... Mathew! Kindly continue gathering the corpses. Everyone... Kindly help us gather the dead bodies of the wolves!" Pedro instructed as they moved immediately. Aldo, Pedro, Mathew, and Sabrina went the furthest as they were the fastest among the group.
In less than ten minutes they were able to gather all the corpse that made the whole plains empty. The blood-splattered was sucked by Pedro and Sabrina's Pen-Knife that left the plains without any trace of evidence of battle.
"Brother Pedro!"
"Expert Brother!"
"Son!"
"Pedro, we're all done!" Everyone approached Pedro who was standing with Faunia.
"About my name... Please call me... Aron!" Pedro wore an awkward smile as he glanced to the confused Mathew, Talia, and Faunia.
"Then, Aron... we're all done!" Sabrina smiled as she walked in front of the 'Pedro Group' and Pedro's parents and aunt.
"That sounds better!" Pedro smirked as he and Faunia turned around to Naga Kingdom's direction.
"New Main Crew! Let's head back to our ship... The Legendary Karakoa!"
