A droplet of rain fell on the pauldron of the Imperial Guards Captain, making a clear sound.
His eyes widened, just as the look in the eyes of his eight opponents changed when more and more droplets fell from the sky. The seven newcomers were simply confused, some of them turning their gazes up at the heavy clouds, with snakes of lightning dancing among them from time to time.
The next moment, a heavy downpour covered everything in sight.
"What the…?"
"Haha, talk about being sudden"
"No kidding!"
As these comments came from the seven, both the Imperial Guards captain and the leader of the pirates were spooked, since none of them sensed this rapid and highly unnatural change in weather coming.
"Something's not right, don't drop your guard", the pirate leader raised his voice to outshout the thunder coming from strikes of lightning in the skies.
