“Look, C-Cap'n…”
“No more talk, aye.”
With that, Dragonbeard took his knife from its sheath and plunged it into Jugger's chest right up to the jewel encrusted hilt. A brief flicker of pain and shock flashed across the young pirates face as the blade punched through his flesh and pierced his heart. An instant later, he was gone.
Jugger's head fell towards his bleeding chest and his body slumped, but it was prevented from falling to the deck by the two burly crew members either side of him.
Dragonbeard withdrew his knife. It made a slurping pop as the steel was freed, causing Bobcat to wince. The captain wiped the blade on Jugger's trouser leg and returned it to its sheath.
“Right, lads. Over the side with 'im. But treat 'im with respect. 'E's done us a grand service so 'e 'as, aye.”
