Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Please read the attached Note:1

The pirates had surrounded Cersei, and her back was toward Will, making him mistakenly assume that she was Elizabeth Swann.

Unlike the main storyline, Cersei didn't lift her head to let him inspect her face, intensifying the mystery even further.

Will was about to rush toward her when a pirate confronted him, holding bombs in his hands.

He pointed at Will's feet and grinned like a joker.

Will Turner looked down to find another bomb sparking just in front of his feet.

However, when it came time to go off, it turned out to be a dud.

William smirked and raised his axe, but almost at the same time, another pirate came rushing at him from behind, and smacked the back of Will's head with a stolen silver utensil, shouting, "Out of my way, scum!"

William lost consciousness on the spot and fell back.

Several Contestants were eying this scene, for the axe and the sword used by Will had already gained the conditions to become Items.

They just needed to grab them, and then use them to kill 10 Contestants associated with pirates to turn them into Uncommon Items of Mid to High-level Sub-grades.

There were even chances of them turning out to be Top-level Common Named Items.

To the Contestants' utter surprise and dismay, the same pirate who had hit William's head, and who had disappeared after this plot according to the main storyline, didn't run away.

Instead, this unknown pirate, with a rugged appearance, crouched and picked up both the sword and the axe before breaking out in a mad dash toward the docks.

This?!

The Contestants almost cursed and chased him, taking out Items to finish him.

But after chasing him for a few minutes, they lost him; the pirate had disappeared into the thick of smog, which was already getting thicker and thicker.

"Fuck!"

"Motherfucker!"

"How could a Lead Protector let such a thing happen?!"

"Let's go!"

Just as these Contestants popped out of existence, the pirate they'd thought gone missing walked out of the smog as if he had materialized out of thin air.

There was a shaggy and rugged beard on his mud and filth-covered face, and over his head, there was a tattered hat.

Yet, one could not find a single instance of lackadaisical thought on his face anymore.

It was as if the bearing of hoodlum was beneath him.

It was as if…

… his face didn't belong to him.

This pirate looked at the sword in his hands and frowned.

Then he threw the sword away like another piece of rotten iron.

The axe, however, had something special about it, like the pirate who was holding it.

This pirate was none other than Contestant Red, Kai Stormborn, the budding Faceless.

Kai had been aiming for the event related to William Turner and a pirate attacking him from behind for a long time.

The moment Black Pearl's pirates landed at Port Royal's docks, he killed another pirate (-not part of Barbossa's crew-) at random, who matched the profile mentioned in the main storyline.

Then, he waited for the said pirate to enter the area near William Turner.

The moment he saw one carrying a silver object, as described in the documents, he knocked him out and took his place.

None had been wiser to notice anything out of place because of his Acting, either.

Kai held the axe in his right hand, feeling its weight, and nodded to himself.

Both the sword and the axe weren't Artifacts, despite their appearance with William Turner, a major Side Character.

But, unlike the sword, the moment he held the axe, he had gotten a notification.

…

[

Congratulations Kai Stormborn…

You have triggered a Side Mission

…

Main Mission: Not Applicable

Side Mission: Will Turner's fury

Side Mission Summary: To defend his home, William Turner had armed himself with the axe, hoping to thwart the bloodthirsty pirates.

Alas! The young Turner couldn't accomplish his goals, losing consciousness because of an ambush.

The axe, however, still desires blood, fueled by William Turner's desire and fury.

Side Mission Objective: Kill at least 10 Contestants associated with Pirates using the axe

Side Mission Time Limit: Not Applicable

Do you accept the Side Mission?

…

A pleased look flashed in Kai's eyes, but this wasn't the time to indulge himself in the Side Mission.

A more pressing, and most important, task awaited him in Fort Charles' prison.

Jack Sparrow!

The moment Kai recalled the famous Captain's name, the matter of today's morning surfaced in his mind, making him frown.

Kai couldn't tell why, but he had a feeling that whenever he neared the main Character, his Luck, which was bad enough as it was, worsened even more.

It was like two binary opposite poles attracting each other.

Jack had the highest Luck one could hope to have in the Multiverse, it was known. So there was no effect of these extremities on him.

Kai, however, was a different case altogether.

The only thing in which he took solace was that he couldn't do anything about it.

Kai threw the axe in his MRB and, with a reddish pop, disappeared.

…

Over at Fort Charles' side, thick smoke and commanding shouts had taken over every nook and corner of the castle-like behemoth.

The prison cells of the fort were in the basement, but still way above sea level, propped up against a rocky cliff.

At this time, one of the many cannonballs, fired from the Black Pearl, bombarded the wall of a cell just by happenstance.

BOOM!

Rubble exploded everywhere with blasting fury, creating a gigantic hole in the prison's wall.

This wall, however, didn't belong to that of Jack's prison, but the one next to his.

There were half-a-dozen pirates imprisoned in that cell, and all bade goodbye to Jack, calling him unlucky.

From behind the bars, Jack watched the pirates run away after getting back their freedom.

In the sky, the clouds parted, and the dense blue moonlight of a full moon fell over Port Royal like a waterfall.

A stream of this moonlight even found its way into Jack's cell.

Captain Jack Sparrow then began to lure the dog, in whose mouth were the keys to all cells, using a bone.

At the same, Murtogg appeared in the corridor from where the stairs led down to the prisons.

Naturally, this Murtogg was Kai.

After taking care of the matter related to Will's axe, Kai rushed toward Fort Charles, putting on his marine uniform.

With chaos reigning all over, none noticed a stray marine heading toward the prison cells.

Kai was just about to step down when an unprecedented danger announced itself to him.

His eyes widened, and the sheer fatality of the threat his Instincts warned him of, gave him goosebumps.

What's this?! Kai shuddered and snapped back to look at the threat in its face.

Too late!

A sword plunged itself deep into his guts, and then a shot got fired at his chest, sending him flying back.

Kai fell down the stairs, rolling and tumbling, and hit the wall at the end with a loud bang.

For his attackers, the marine was deader than dead.
