A Sea of Love That Transcends Boundaries
Chapter 3: The Wrenching Decision

After a grueling battle, the sea pirate Bartolomeo Vernandez Sagara surrendered, the island mista returned peacefully.

While the inhabitants of the island mista and crew Sea castatroupe rejoiced in front of the bonfire while eating food from the hunt.

In the silence of the dark night, Claozora stands on a cliff on Mista Island. His heart felt heavy with the weight of the choices he had to make, he was worried. Before him, the ocean waves broke down on the rock with an echoing sound, reflecting the fight that was going on inside him.

Claozora (whispers to herself): I have promised myself that my goal is to find treasure and take revenge. But Bartolomeo's love has infiltrated my heart and made things so complicated.

Isla (entering the place): Captain, what are you thinking?

Claozora (smiling bitterly): Ah, Isla. I was caught up in an inner battle within me that was hard to control. Between achieving my ultimate goal and following my heart.Where should I choose Isla?.

Isla (looking at her understandingly): Believe me, Captain, no one can make your choice but yourself. But remember, love and loyalty are not weaknesses, but rather strengths that can move the ocean (Go abandon his Captain)

While contemplating the words of Isla Claozora walked away from the cliff and towards the camp in the middle of the forest. The fighting frenzy had subsided, and the atmosphere calmed down again. He stood in the middle of his crew, realizing that right now he had to make a difficult decision.

"Kru, listen to me" Claozora said in a loud voice. "We have crossed many obstacles together, and all this is thanks to your hard work and loyalty. But now, there's a question I have to face alone."

His crew looked at each other, showing their confusion to their captain. They knew that Claozora's decision would affect the fate of all of them.

"I've fallen in love with Bartolomeo Vernandez Sagara, the pirate we fight here," Claozora continued. "This love disturbs our focus and our main purpose. I must decide whether I will follow my heart or remain true to our mission."

Rocco stepped forward. "Captain, we know how difficult this decision has been for you. But remember, we are Sea Castatrope pirates. We are bound by our code of ethics and obligations as treasure hunters.So as long as it does not become a barrier to our dreams whatever your choice, we will support you completely."

Claozora nodded, appreciating the loyalty and understanding of his crew. He felt an increasingly heavy pressure on his shoulders, yet he also felt the strength and vigor exerted by his crew.

"Maybe I still have to complete this mission," Claozora said in a determined voice. "Maybe this time, my love and my heart will have to wait. But we will handle this situation wisely. We will finish this battle and reach the treasure we seek."

With renewed vigor, Sea Castatrope prepared for the upcoming battle. They strengthened their preparations, honed their combat skills, and established closer ties with the indigenous tribes of Mista Island.

However, amidst all that, Claozora could not eliminate Bartolomeo from his mind. Every time he saw the vast ocean, Bartolomeo's face appeared in his mind. In silence, his heart remains torn between his love and pirate purpose.

In one of the fierce battles, the Sea Castatrope ship and Bartolomeo ship met in the open ocean. Dangerous attacks were launched from both sides, but Claozora's ability as captain and his ingenious strategy brought benefits to Sea Castatrope.

On the deck, Claozora and Bartolomeo meet in person. Their gazes intertwined with each other, reflecting the fight within their respective hearts.

"Bartolomeo," said Claozora in a low but emotional voice. "We meet again."

Bartolomeo smiled bitterly. "Claozora, I know how you feel about me. But we live in a harsh and merciless pirate world. Whatever happens between us, our journey is still different."

Claozora raised her sword with a firm decision. "Maybe we should be enemies, but I will never forget what was between us."

With quick movements, they engaged in a one-on-one fight. They fought fiercely, testing their combat skills and strength. However, even though they were trying to defeat each other, between the friction of the sword and the battle cry, there was an inevitable force that drew them to each other.

When the fight reaches its peak, Claozora and Bartolomeo find themselves stuck together in a tight state. In those unforgettable moments, there was a moment of silence between them.

Their gazes intertwined, and in a glance, Claozora saw a glint of the same feeling in Bartolomeo's eyes. Their love and desire is unstoppable.

However, before they could continue the moment, the sound of war cry from his crew broke through the peace. They separated quickly, returning to the raging battle field.A fierce battle ensued again, this battle lasted 3 hours, with a draw.

"Bartolomeo don't you get tired of this battle" Claozora said as he sheathed his sword" Bartolomeo put it this way, let's establish a partner together"

"What do you mean by Mitra?"Ask bartolomeo puzzled"Let's work together, won't our goals be the same" replied claozora.

Bartolomeo pondered for a moment...

"Hmm well let's establish partners together" said bartolomeo as he threw a pearl necklace"Save it, it's a sign that we're working together".

Claozora caught the necklace"Well by the old rules"Claozora retaliated by throwing a special gold coin bearing the image of a whale from the mobidick legend.

They decided to partner up and be in the same boat to celebrate the end of the battle all the crew went partying while drinking beer.
