He brought down the bludgeon on Tail Red. She met the mast with twin blades and roasted them with jets of fire, smashing the club into burning splinters. Everywhere the wreckage went became a pyre. Now that Robin looked, some of the other ships were on fire as well. Most of the ships were on fire. Alright, all of the ships were on fire. Not that this was anything new to Robin.
