Fox Finds New Trouble (Part 2)
~*~3rd POV (Makino)~*~
Makino runs across the town sweating quite bit while heading towards the mayor's house. She soon sees the mayor home and tries to run even faster. Makino slams open the door catching the may sipping on some tea. "MAYOR! We've got a problem!" She says sweating due to the distance between her bar and the mayor's house.
The mayor is in shock and stares at Makino until something clicks in his mind. "What's wrong, Makino!" He shouts as if he was panicking like Makino.
"It's Luffy and Kira…And the Mountain Bandits!" Makino shouts as the mayor gasp, and they leave the home in a rush. Hoping to save the two children before any harm comes unto them.
~*~3rd POV (Luffy, Kira, and Higuma with his Bandits)~*~
Kira is currently being held by some random bandit while Luffy is being held by Higuma. Both of them have some bruises and cuts because they were fighting. Kira just looks worse than Luffy because she did not eat the Gum-Gum Fruit.
"You've got a strange body, boy and girl." The bandit says who was holding Kira making Kira's eyes widen in horror.
"Oh, My, God… You're a kiddy fiddler, chu~!" Kira shouts in horror struggling in the bandit's grip. She did not want to be touch by the bandit that she currently thought as a child molester. The bandit stares in horror at Kira and got piss because she called him a kiddy fiddler. Kira basically earn a whack on the head making her whimper in pain causing the bandit to smirk in victory, but soon he got piss hearing Kira mumble something like, "That smirks only confirms it, pervert." The bandit just ignores Kira for now. While the other bandits and Higuma just ignores what Kira says while Luffy just looks puzzle for a moment not sure what a kiddy fiddler is.
"Our punches and kicks aren't hurting you at all, and you have fox ears and tail." Another bandit says that was next to Higuma on his left side. Kira's red ears twitch out in annoyance. "No, shit, Sherlock, chu~. I am a bloody fox, and Luffy is a rubber boy! God, chu~! You're so dense that Luffy seems normal!" Kira shouts out with a vein ready to pop as well as an eye twitching at the obvious observation and stating the redundant. Of course, this earn Kira another pop on the head from the bandit causing Kira to growl at him.
"HEY! WE GOTTA GO HELP LUFFY AND KIRA!" One guy hiding behind the fence with a moustache yelling in desperation at the guy who has a fuzzy head like he shaved it couple a days ago.
"ARE YOU CRAZY? THOSE BANDITS WOULD KILL US!" The fuzzy head yells back sweating out of fear both of them unaware of Kira's super hearing and before the fuzzy could say anything else Kira yells out, "IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO F**KING HELP, THEN SHUT THE HELL UP, $$*****, CHU~!" Earning her another wallop on her head cussing out the bandit along on the lines 'I will cut off your d**k with a butter knife and shove if down your throat while scooping out your eyes with a rusty spoon'. The three stay silent behind the fence looking very guilty because they were causing Kira's discomfort. Higuma stretches Luffy's cheek which made Kira get auto hit by the bandit who knew that Kira would say something about being pervert.
"DARN YOU! YOU BETTER TAKE IT BACK AND APOLOGIZE TO KIRA!" Luffy yells with his eyes dilated from all the rage and adrenal that is being pump right now. He prepares a punch for the Higuma which he saw coming. "YOU JERK!" Luffy scream out as he threw the punch and it stretches pass the bandit's head.
"There are some weird creatures in the world…" Higuma comments only making Kira just pulls an Excalibur face which is only intensify after what Higuma states next. "Eh, rubber boy?" Higuma says as he basically using Luffy's stretchable cheeks to sling Luffy to the ground.
"Oh, My, God, you may call Luffy a weird creature, but you are by far the weirdest thing I have ever lay eyes upon. And that is putting it mildly, chu~." Kira states with the same expression only to get hit which she bit into the guys arm this time. She had enough of this bull and wanted to kick some $$. Kira also did not want to be hit again by the kiddy fiddler any more. She runs to Luffy seeing if he was alright while the bandits look at them with smug look on their faces except for the one who got bitten. He looks like he was thinking of how to tortue Kira before killing her.
"DARN YOU! I'LL MAKE YOU SO SORRY FOR THIS!" Luffy shouts at Higuma and starts to sit up while Kira glares at Higuma sticking her tongue out at him. Kira rolls her eyes hearing Higuma say, "I've discovered new life forms." Kira points at Higuma making him piss realizing why she was pointing at them.
"Maybe I'll sell you two to a freak show… I bet they'll pay good money for you two." Higuma says placing his hand on his chin like he was thinking. Kira just shakes her head and sighs at how stupid the bandits were and soon snaps to Luffy hearing him yell, "YAAAAHH!" Luffy ran towards Higuma with a wooden plank trying to hit him with. Higuma lifts up his leg saying, "You stubborn little… BRAT!" He yells as his stomp on Luffy's head making Kira very worry and run towards him to only get caught by another one of the bandits. It was a different bandit from the kiddy fiddler which made her partially relief, but a little angry at the same time.
"I didn't say anything to offend you both. I was just drinking and talking to my men." Higuma says trying to act like he was innocent, but Luffy and Kira glare at him as he steps a bit harder on Luffy's head.
"YES YOU DID! YOU'D BETTER APOLOGIZE!" Luffy yells as Higuma steps harder on Luffy's face making Kira struggle again even though her body was rejecting that idea. Kira could feel pain coming back since her adrenal rush as well as her rage begins to disappear. She felt like whimpering, but holds it in as well as the tears because the pain was becoming abundant.
"CURSE THAT LUFFY AND KIRA! WHY'D THEY HAD TO PICK A FIGHT WITH THOSE GUYS!" A guys yells inside a house looking out of the window with another guy standing next to him both looking torn on what to do. Unfortunally, their fear kept them from helping Kira and Luffy. Kira lost all respect to the men in this town knowing they were filled with a bunch of sissies who chicken out of any fight.
"MOVE YOUR FOOT…" Luffy shouts trying to get out from Higuma's boot making Kira feel worse for not being able to help Luffy. She feels so useless right now because she could not help Luffy at all. Kira's ear twitch picking up sounds of two people walking towards them and look over towards where the mayor and Makino heading in their direction.
"LET THE CHILDREN GO… Please." The mayor begs catching the bandits' attention making Kira feel both sorrow and anger. She was sad because this only prove how useless she was and angry because the mayor was force into begging for their lives. He soon bows in front of the bandits before beginning his plead, I don't know what Luffy and Kira did… and I have no intentions of fighting you people… But if its money you want, you'll get it. Just don't hurt those children!" The mayor basically trying everything in his power to convince the bandits to let Kira and Luffy go. Kira looks down where her eyes were cover over with her hair feeling like she rather die than to see this. She only stays here for a few days and already is treated like one of their own even if she was a complete stranger. Kira may be intense pain, but her tears were not from physical pain. The true reason she was crying is because she was touch by what they were trying to do for her and Luffy sake. Kira hears Luffy say "Mayor!" as if he too was in disbelief on what the mayor was doing.
"But I'm afraid it's too late. No one can save these brats now. They have done the unpardonable… They attacked me…" Higuma says as if Luffy and Kira did wrong, but Kira only reacted with an eye twitch of anger.
"And they called me names. I can't take that from these Rubber Spined and Annoying Fox Freaks!" Higuma yells as he stomps on Luffy's head twice to show how piss he was which did not help with Kira's anger as her growls intensifies.
"YOU STARTED THIS, BANDIT! YOU MOUNTAIN MACAQUE!" Luffy insulting Higuma causing me to smile at Luffy knowing he knew how to piss people off.
"YEAH! YOU PATHECTIC EXCUSE FOR A MAN LET ALONE BEING, YOU KIDDY FIDDLER!" Kira shouts out after Luffy say his piece because if Luffy is going to die, then so will she. Kira felt as if she did not yell her piece in, then she would regret it for the rest of her life.
"That does it. I'm not going to sell neither of you. I'm gonna kill you both!" Higuma says unsheathing his blade and prepares it to slash into Luffy's head. Kira struggles even hard trying her hardest against the pain to try and escape. She wanted to protect Luffy because he was like a brother she had wanted.
"KIRA! LUFFY!" Makino shouts trying desperately to think of something to save the two children.
"PLEASE FORGIVE THEM!" The mayor begs wanting the two children to be spare neither noticing Captain Shanks walking from behind them.
"I was wondering what was going on…" Captain Shanks comment with his hat lower where his eyes were shaded. Both Makino and the mayor were shock and surprise that Shanks was behind him. "Nobody came to greet us at the harbor." Shanks finish while looking at the scene before him seeing that Kira was in worse condition than Luffy. "Oh, it's you Mountain Bandits again!" Shanks say stating the obvious like the bandits earlier making Kira eye to twitch as well as her ears. Kira hears Makino say, "Captain Shanks!" Kira only guess that it was because no one expected him to show up.
"LUFFY! I THOUGHT YPUR PUNCH WAS AS POWERFUL AS A PISTOL." Shanks yell loud enough for Luffy to hear even though both of his ears are cover either by a boot or the ground. Luffy did not like that comment very well and currently in their situation, neither did Kira.
"...! NOT NOW, CAPT'N!" Luffy shouts in an angry tone because facial moment was difficult when your face is being step on. Higuma did not look like he doesn't care at all and just stare at Shanks like he was nothing more than an insect. "HMPH! You pirates are still here? Taking a break from your cleaning duties?" Higuma asks really not caring about Shanks or his crew on bit making Kira just sighs and shakes her head. She sees Ben and tries to wave to him only to get pop on the head which made Ben a bit piss as well as Shanks.
"I don't know what you want, but you better back off before you get hurt. Come any closer and we'll have to kill you… cowards." Higuma says as one of his men went to Shanks to point at gun at his head. He pulls down the hammer while pointing it at Shanks's head.
"Didn't you hear him? Come any closer… Or I'll blow your head off! Ha, Ha, Ha!" He laughs while pointing a gun to Shanks head while the others giggle like a bunch of school girls. Kira's eye twitches a bit as if she wishes to end the stupidity now.
"Hey! Best, you tell your lover over there to put away the gun. Seriously, he will become a dead man." Kira tells the man holding her causing Shanks to chuckle as well as Ben. Unfortunally, this comment earns her another hit which she bit in to the guy's hand causing him to move his hand away. The guy just glare at the little fox girl in his arms knowing letting her go was not an option.
"Kira's right. You're putting your life on the line by pointing that at me." Shanks say turning his head to look at the bandit with a calm expression while the guy with the gun looks shock.
"Huh? What're you talking about?" The bandit says as if he did not get the warning at all which made Kira's ear lower to where what is about to happen would not hurt so much.
"I'm saying it's not safe to point guns." Shanks say pointing at the gun causing the bandit to get too distracted to notice the meat loving pirate point his gun to the guys head. Soon a loud bang could be heard as the gun wielding bandit's corpse drop to the ground with a bullet wound through his head. All the bandits were in shock as well as the mayor and Makino, but for Luffy and Kira, they were amazed. Kira's ears and tail perk up in amazement which she will soon regret it.
"NOW YOU'VE GONE AND DONE IT!" One bandit shouts which made Kira wince and it continues to get worse. "WHAT'VE YOU DONE?" Another one of the bandits shouts this one closer to Kira making tears form in her eyes. "THAT WASN'T FAIR!" The bandit shouts out while holding Kira causes her to bite the arm he was holding me with. He screams while dropping her rather harshly on the ground head first. Kira is daze for a moment but is able to recover a bit to dodge the attempt of recapturing her. She knew that she must try to regain her senses fully before running anywhere. Kira manages to continue to doge until she was next to the dead corpse soon feeling very woozy from moving around while still recovering. Before the bandit could take another chance the pirates speak causing him to remember they were there.
"FAIR?" One crew member shouts as if it was the most usurp thing they have ever heard. "Stop whinning Land-Lubbers! You're not dealing with saints here." Ben says as if it was a fact and looks at Kira who just sat there staring at imaginary stars which made him really mad.
"WE'RE PIRATES! AND WE DON'T PLAY BY THE RULES!" Shanks shouts out at the bandits looking more focus and serious while everyone ignores Kira while she says, "Closet Monkeys steal underwears… Oooh, pretty stars." The pirates clearly knew that Kira is suffering from the concussions she receives in the bandits' captivity.
"THIS WAS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" The bandit with a bleeding arm that had held Kira shouts at them. The bandits knew that they were out of their league against Shanks' crew.
"Listen up… You can pour drinks on me, you can throw food at me… You can even spit on me. I'll just laugh that stuff off. But…" Shanks pause making sure that those words were sinking in for the bandits before continuing with his speech, "GOOD REASON OR NOT… NOBODY HURTS ANY FRIEND OF MINE!" Shanks shout at the bandits as serious as he could be with his teeth clenching and his eyes showing a dangerous spark.
"Friend?" Luffy says as if he was honor to be friends as well as that they consider him as his friend. Kira soon just stare at Shanks as if finally coming back to reality from her concussion land. Ben smiles at Kira as she smiles back showing her fangs as well as blood on her chin and clothing. He just raises an eyebrow as if questioning himself on whether to ask if that was even hers.
"HAHAHAHA! NICE SPEECH, VERY INTIMIDATING!" Higuma shouts unaffected by Shanks speech or very serious look on his face. Kira knew he was dead and soon remembers he does die. Unfortunally, it is because the local fish monster eats him. She suddenly felt sorry for the sea monster because to eat something like Higuma would cause any creature a bellyache. Kira's ears were lower as if she was saddened by something, but Ben thought it was due to the fact she could not help out. He did not know that it was actually pity for the fish monster.
"You pirates spend your time floating around in your little ship. AND YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND UP TO MOUNTAIN BANDITS? DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!" Higuma shouts at Shanks not fully grasping the fact that Shanks dealt with people far more powerful than he is. Kira just sigh knowing how this will end but did not say anything as she felt very tired as well as extremely sore. Higuma soon points at Shanks ordering his man, "KILL THEM!" Every one of his men charge at Shanks and them which Kira soon realize she was in the middle of the two. Ben basically stands in front of me with a cigarette in his mouth. The men yell out, "DIE!" while Ben takes out his long rifle and says, "Cap'n… I'll take care of this." Shanks seem shock at first but silently give him the okay.
Ben takes his lit cigarette and stabs it in the middle of the first bandit that had charged at them. The man fell backwards holding the spot yelling out in pain which Kira just stare at the fallen man noticing it was not two who held her because there was no bite marks. Soon the rest came yelling, "YAAAAA!" which Ben just takes his long rifle and hold it as a bat. When the bandits were in range, he swings his long rifle in one mighty blow. Kira is amaze by this and claps her hands rather fast showing she enjoyed watching everyone get K. by a rifle. Ben just places another cigarette in his mouth and holds his rifle pointing it towards Higuma while lighting his cigarette. Kira's eyes sparkle thinking Ben was bad$$ while her tail swings so excitingly. "You were saying something about Mountain Bandits and Pirates?" He says while pulling the hammer back from his rifle ready to shoot at Higuma. Kira soon fell unconscious because her body said that it was time to rest due to pain. "If you wanna fight us… You better bring a battleship." Ben simply states still holding his gun at Higuma who was in shock. Luffy, Makino, and the Mayor were amazed by how powerful he was.
"BUT… THE BRAT STARTED IT!" Higuma shouts in desperation sweating in fear and shaking a bit because he is panicking now.
"Doesn't matter, there's a price on your head, isn't there?" Shanks states as he remembers the bandit showing off his wanted posted to everyone. Kira just lay sleeping quietly next to a dead man's corpse as well as an unconscious man. Ben lifts up Kira's sleeping figure feeling her curling up to him from warmth. Higuma panicked and threw a smoke bomb catching everyone off guard while some states, "SMOKE BOMB!" Soon Higuma shouts out, "C'MERE KID!" grabbing Luffy.
"HEY! LET GO!" Luffy shouts trying to escape only to be capture by Higuma. Once the smoke clears both Luffy and Higuma were gone.
"LUFFY!" Shanks yell and soon turn to the meat eating crew mate and begins to yell with both his hands on his head, "OH NO! I LET HIM ESCAPE! WE'VE GOTTA SAVE LUFFY!" Shanks look as if he was a worry mother who just lost her kid.
"Calm down, Captain! We'll all go out and look for him! WE'LL FIND HIM!" The meat eating crew mate shout as well trying to calm down the over hype up Captain. Ben just grin at how the captain was behaving.
