"A pirate? That's not right!" Konchuu seemed to be in disbelief of this idea. He, the Mayor, Niwa, and others had taken the flag to the Mayor's home. Set inside his large kitchen, the Mayor was able to spread the flag out on his table. Though the flag didn't take up all the table's surface, it was certainly large to cover the majority of the table.

"Well, Konchuu, it may not be true, but he does bare similarities to this flag." The Mayor took a closer look at the Jolly Roger. It was a skull that wore a red bandanna on it. There are two swords pointing down next to the skull, one on each side. Behind the skull was another sword, larger than the other two swords.

"Can anyone recall such a flag?" The town's people didn't answer. It was either due to fear of getting injured or the surprise of such a flag. Niwa seemed scared at the thought of a pirate living with here.

"It can't be true. Why would a pirate be here in the first place?

"I'm not sure. It is very possible he is a victim of the storm. Still, we don't have any proof that he is a pirate. So lets not jump to conclusions."

"Hey, Niwa? Is Zassou still in your house?"

Back at the house, Auron was still asleep. The setting sun's light still shined on his bandaged up body. He seemed unconscious, as he eyes were closed and his breathing subsided. During this time, Zassou slighting opened the door to the room from the hallway. Zassou checked to see if Auron was still asleep. He opened the door quietly and walked inside. He was carrying a jug filled with some sort of liquid. He tip-towed quietly into the room, inching over to Auron's bed. He continued till he reached the left side of the bed, due to the bed being in the corner. He placed the jug on the little table next to the bed. When he looked at Auron before heading back. Auron's eyes opened up wide and fast!

"Still, we should keep an eye on him. We have no idea how dangerous he could be."

"Mayor. MAYOR!" A man had busted through the front door of the Mayor's house, tired from the running. He walked over to the Mayor, carrying a piece of paper. Some of the citizens seemed to wonder, especially Niwa and Konchuu, what the man brought.

"We're not sure who it may be sure, but it looks important for you to see." The man handed the piece of paper to the Mayor. As the Mayor looked, his faced turned into a face of concern and surprise.

"I believe we have an answer to our dilemma. This...is Auron's wanted poster." The Mayor revealed the paper to the surrounding civilians, shocking everyone in the vicinity. It was Auron's wanted poster. However, the face on the poster is different from Auron's face today. Despite the shorter hair and missing sunglasses, it was definitely Auron. However, it was the bounty on the poster that surprised everyone.

"60 million bellies. We have been taking care of a 60 million bellies pirate."

"Good God, Zassou!" Niwa ran out of the house and straight to her home. "Please, God. Let Zassou be alright."

"Who the hell are you?" Auron's eyes seemed to fix on Zassou, who froze in his position in terror. It seemed like he soiled himself by accident as well.

"Oh...uh...my name...is Zassou." Zassou seemed to affix to Auron. He was surprised to see Auron able to sit up once more. Zassou remembered about the jug and picked it back up and handed it to Auron. "I...uh...I found it near where you were sleeping, sir. I thought it might be yours, so I brought it to you."

"Thanks, Zassou." Auron took the jug and placed in front of him. He used his right hand to open it, as his left was still injured. It was revealed to carry Sake, which Auron prompted to drink out of it. After Auron finished drinking, he said, "Thanks, Zassou. I guess the Sake hit the spot." Zassou only smiled and watched as Auron went back to sleep.

(From here, the dialogue takes place as the scene goes on.)

"I don't think we should do this. It just doesn't seem right."

"But Mayor, look at what we got here. 60 million bellies. Think of what we can do to this town. Most of the citizens seemed to agree with that idea."

Niwa is seen still running towards her house. He opens the door and quickly runs upstairs.

"I don't want to take advantage of the situation. He's just a confused person."

"But Mayor, what if..."

Niwa, quickly opens the door that leads to Auron's room, and finds her son, still looking at Auron. Niwa sighs a heavy sigh and hugs her son, knowing he's alright.

"No! This man is like any one of you. If you were in his situation, would you want to be turned in? No. We need to help him. The best we can do, I think, is help is recovery and get him a boat to the sea."

"All right, Konchuu, we'll due it your way. Still, it will be a while for him to recover to his original strength."

The Next Day...

As the sun is up in the sky, Niwa's home seemed to be less as busy as it was before. Niwa was keeping an eye out for Zassou, who was playing with his toy ball. Niwa was sitting on a chair in front of the house, when the town's doctor exited her house.

"So, doctor, how is Auron?" Niwa wondered.

The doctor said, "He's doing fine. Surprisingly, he is recovering very quickly. Still, his left arm was still banged up from that wreckage, so he needs to keep the cast on for another day or so." Niwa was surprised. She had never heard of such a fast healer before. Guess it seemed like he would be leaving sooner than anyone suspected.

Upstairs in the room, Auron was busy putting his pants on. It was difficult, as his left arm what still unusable. After putting he pants on, he took a quick look at himself. He was standing at full height, with most of his bandages gone, only the left arm still bandaged. He looked outside the window in the room to see Niwa and Zassou down below. Though they didn't seem him, he could see them. He spotted Konchuu down the block, coming up to Niwa. It seemed like they were talking, but from Auron's point of view, he didn't know what they were talking about. He decided to continue to get dressed and moved away from the window.

"...so the boat will be ready by tomorrow. I just hope it would be enough for the guy." Konchuu had a disappointed tone in his voice when he said that.

Niwa seemed to smile and said, "Don't worry. I think he'll be just fine." Suddenly, they heard what appeared to be a crowd gathering coming from the beach area. As they turned down the road, they saw what was causing it-pirates. Niwa and Konchuu were terrified at this sight. It was a rowdy group of pirates, each one just as ugly as the next. Though each one looked the same, their main Jolly Roger was seen somewhere. It was a triangle-shaped skull, with a goatee and two guns instead of bones behind it. In the front of the crowd was their captain.

The captain was a tall, stocky man, with large arms and upper body. He was fair skinned, and had black hair. His hair was covered by his brown captain's hat, but his goatee was black as well. His face was triangle-like, as it didn't have any edges. He had a grinning feature to his face, like the Cheshire cat. He wore a blue coat, blue-and-white striped shirt, dark blue pants, and black shoes. He carries a large cannon-like weapon on his back, and had a sword strapped to his left side.

As the crowd walked on forward, the captain laughed, "Kalalalala! It's been a while since I've plundered a ton. I guess this town will be fine, or my name isn't Cyron Hogum. Kalalalala!" As they walked forward, Zassou's ball rolled to Cyron's feet. Before he could get the ball, Zassou was immediately picked up by Konchuu and brought to Niwa. Cyron looked down and picked up the ball.

"You should really keep such items out of reach." Cyron then threw the ball back to one of his crewmates. "I'll doubt you'll see that ball again. It's become a property of the Tri-Sided Pirates." Konchuu had enough off and placed Zassou next to Niwa. Konchuu, acting like a hero in this kind of situation, stood up to the Tri-Sided Pirate's captain.

"We're not the kind of people to take on, pirate. We had others just like you, thinking you can take all of our money. Well, not today." Konchuu let loose a punch to Cyron, but Cyron easily moved back to dodge it. Cyron retaliated with a punch of his own, knock Konchuu a few yards away. The entire pirate laughed at this attempted show of heroics.

"Kalalalala! You don't stand a chance against pirate, boy. I'll just show you how different we are." Cyron grabbed the cannon-like object on his back. As Konchuu was still on the ground, knocked for a loop, Cyron revealed the weapon to be a large, easy to handle cannon.

"Too bad you won't see what happens once we're done with you. Kalalalala!" Cyron fired the cannon at Konchuu, as Niwa closed her eyes while she covered Zassou's. While Konchuu stood in awe, the explosion occurred, causing a bright flash of light. Once the light subsided, Niwa, Zassou, Cyron, and the pirates looked on in amazement-Konchuu had survived. As Konchuu looked up to see who saved him, it turned out to be a large sword. However, Konchuu recognized this sword. "Is it really..."

"Guess you and the cannon have a thing in common, Cyron." In amazement, Auron stood in front of his sword, fully clothed and his left arm tucked away. Cyron was shocked to find somebody like this to appear and save someone. "You're blowing a hell of a lot of hot air."

Preview: Auron is ready to fight, but can he do it? Can he fight off the pirates with one hand in his sleeve? Or will the pirates get their way over Auron?

Author Notes: All right, it's starting to look good. Will still want some advice, please. Thank You.
