Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ １
I remembered my face being very calm, with a hint of excitement when I was told by my superior that I was being stationed at Sabaody for a few weeks.
Sabaody is the one unique island which gives off peaceful and nice vibes as compared to all the other shitty places which has blood spilled onto them. Here civilians walk this land with a sense of self and a peace of mind. At least on one half of it anyway. It is also the stopping point where all pirates or criminals gather if they hope to make passage into the New World. A restocking center for new rookies who braved the first half of the Grand Line. What fools.
I remembered that my job is to keep tabs on the ruffians who entered the archipelago through the eastern side. I distinctly recalled the Kid pirates docking their ship along the empty coast lines of the Mangrove 5, one of the lawless areas of the archipelago. Sometimes I wonder why this area is the lawless zone. Maybe it's a strategy for the Marines to get a better grip of the criminals by legalizing the lawless zone. Or maybe it's the lack of manpower to keep tabs of every inch of the Sabaody in check. We have been losing a lot of marines later.
As of the situation of now, the Kid pirates are disembarking off their ship. Kid's maniacal laughter which torn through the air practically gave me a temporary sensation of tone-deafness. Flaming red hair and large build basically made him stand out from the crowd. His crew was no different. The Massacre soldier strode behind his captain, briefing a terrified looking guy who cowered beside him. A gothic bunch with an eccentric vibe emits out from the kid pirates. I felt my fellow marines beside me shivering like dogs. This spells trouble. I remembered taking out the den den mushi to report to marine base as per standard procedure. I precisely recalled that halfway through the first ten words that I managed to get out when the three marines beside me being ripped from the very places that they stood and flung onto pieces of cold hard metal machinery which wasn't there before. Magnetic powers. That is Eustass Kid's devil fruit power. Shit. Their endless whining has gotten them killed. None of those newbies lasted a minute against the 315 million rookie from the worst generation. I stood blinking for a fraction of a second at the blood spilling across the bubbled grass. I was lucky for I did not rely on the swords or metal with me. An annoying little headache surfaced within me. Now I supposed I should avenge their deaths.
Killer lunged at me with his cat like claws. I dodged it easily.
" Well, we have one more survivor huh. Is this all the welcome the marines can get us?"
Kid mused as he stepped over the bodies, raising his hand to recollect the metal swords and machinery. Killer mercilessly rushed at me with his claws. Having my cover blown, the sudden exposure to the unpleasant threat of the entire crew towards me in addition to the pending punishment that I will have to face if I lose my juniors too early, I did the only thing I could.
Throwing a fistful of sticky soap I nabbed from the grass into killer's unprepared mask, I made a mad dash for the little shrimp of a man.
He was expectedly weak. Within a second, I knocked him out and slung him over my shoulders. A torrent of sharp metals flew towards me. It looks like Kid finally caught wind of what kind of situation this is. This man, whoever he is, is important to him. Good. That means he is valuable. I do not want to stick around to face up the pirate captain. With deft movements, I jumped into my speed boat waiting for me at the bottom of the water streams and made off as fast as I could. I could hear shouting in the background and deflected yet more metal and even fire as they threw what they got at me. But I knew that the kid pirates could not follow me on water. Their ship is already too damaged.
I drove farther down into the water streams of Sabaody, into the mangroves forest and eventually back to Marine base.
Doing anything is fine as long as it doesn't come back to you. I believed in that. However, that one act is going to cost me dearly.
