RED DEVIL SPADE 7
"Kora..." My eyes snapped open. I looked to Killer's worried expression. Behind Killer was Kid, I sit up and stared at both of them. "What?" I asked, Killer sit beside me, I stared at Kid, who had his whole arm wrapped in bandages, Kid sighed "I've got everything from Killer." I stared at Killer, he opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Kid "we're going to look for her, and I swear, we will find her, if we don't, I'm going to fucking blow a marine head quarter to fucking pieces so that the marines payed some attention at us" I looked at him and nodded "good, so, now that we have to look for her. Do you have any ideas where will they bring her?" Killer asked. Where will they bring her? They could bring her to impel down, but she's not that famous... I thought for it for a moment, before my gaze landed on a certain picture, I looked at the picture, and at her bag, and I tried to remember something... Something about eternal... Pose... "That's it!" Kid and Killer was surprised as I jumped from the bed, and began to search through Mira's bag, where is it... "aha, found it!" Kid and Killer gave a puzzled look as I took out an old eternal pose from her bag "if we follow this eternal pose, we will arrive at an island, when we arrived at this island, my and Mira's hometown is just 2 weeks away by rowboat, and I'm sure we'll be able to ask the citizen about Mira's and my hometown" Kid snatched the eternal pose from my hand and rushed out from the room, screaming and shouting something to the crew awaiting outside, "I think there's something missing..." Killer stared at me as I think "What could it be... We've got the eternal pose, what else could it be-" I froze as I remembered something "DAMN IT! FUCK!"
I jumped in surprise as Kora cursed aloud "what is it?" I asked the usually calm tempered girl, she began to yell incoherent words, and throws some things into the floor, when she calmed down a bit, she collapsed on the bed, covering her eyes with her arm and inhaled deeply "do you by any chance remember what month is this?" She asked, her voice shaking a little, she changed her position into sitting, supporting and covering her face with her hand "umm... It's... June right?" "Correct, and do you by any chance know when is Mira's birthday?" "No" "it's July 10! And guess how old she's turning this year? 17! And guess what happened when she turned 17? Her father promised she will become a marine! And... And... Fuck this shit!" She throws her hands into the air and messed with her hair, I sit on her side, put a hand on her back, and calmed her down, for a bit. I looked at her "it's still one month away, I'm sure captain Kid will try to get there as fast as possible, you don't need to worry" Kora sighed and use her hands as support, elbow on her knee, her hand was running on her hair, messing the already messed short black hair, she lifted her head to look at me, just then I realized she was crying "you promise?" She asked, her eye glassy, and fuck, she looked cute, I clenched her hand and whispered "I promise" before I hugged her and calmed her down, or at least, I try to. I looked at her when we parted, and kissed her.
Fuckfuckfuckfuck, this eternal pose is helping, but the ship's speed isn't, I tried to calm myself when I realized all metal object in the room was in the air, lifted a few inches above where they actually belonged, shuddering and shaking on the air, luckily, it's not flying all across the room. I ordered the navigators to advance at the highest speed. The ship got faster, and faster, but we're still far from the marines, considering we stopped to treat the injured ones, and that's fucking a lot considering the marine's bringing the whole fleet. Fuck the marines, we're not gonna make it, those marines ship are fucking fast. And they had fucking sea-stone bullets! The metals are lifting again, ready to fly across the room, I sighed, I really need to get some fucking rest...
"Captain's in a bad mood, and the slow winds aren't helping, even though we got some machines, our first speed source is of course, the wind." I frowned as Killer's word echoed in my head, but as he said that Kid is in a bad mood, that means Kid really cared for Mira. Well, at least there's one bright thing in this... As soon as I saw the whole crew was as worried, I immediately knew that we're not gonna regret joining this crew. I packed my bag, and tidied Mira's stuff, when I reached at her personal belonging, I sighed as I picked at the ancient old pictures, papers, threats written by numerous pirates that we used to raid, den-den mushi numbers from those who's stupid enough to flirt with Mira, letters... Dang, she kept those ancient old love letter from an ugly playboy, but it was fun, we used to raid his money, just then Mira told him she doesn't like him, ahh, good old time, when I finished, my eyes landed on a particular picture on the floor, lying there (almost) innocently, I picked it up and stared at the backside of it, I squinted my eyes and I could make out a writing, very small "R. Yumi...? Wait... Mira would never write that name on this picture, it's not her writing... And who would even write this small and neat? Definitely not Mira nor her father" I put the picture down and, without anything better to do, I walked to the dining room, when I sat on my usual table, a paper at the table inched slowly to the other side of the table, I snatched it without thinking much "whose paper is this?" I asked out without thinking much, some of the crew walked towards me "Kora-chan, have you ever heard of vivre card?" "Don't call me with chan, but yes, I've ever heard of one, it's the card that could move to wherever their owner right?" I flipped the card over and noticed a small writing "Killer..." "Yes?" Said man walked over to the table " this... Who wrote this?" I asked, pointing a very small and neat writing at the middle of the card "the shopkeeper, they always did that, they write the name of the owner at the very bottom of the card, always at the middle, extremely small writing, all vivre card shops did that, dunno why" I thought for a moment and asked again "you could tear the paper to give it to someone else right?" He nodded "yeah" "but it'll never burnt, get wet, or get destroyed" he nodded again "yeah" "except if the owner's life is in danger right?" He nodded again "yeah" "and... It will show you where the owner is! That's it! You can write on vivre card, that mean it's not that different than a normal paper, say, can you print a picture on a vivre card?" Killer seems a bit lost, but answered anyway "maybe... It's technically, still a paper...?" I throw the paper into the air, not caring how the other was shouting about how expensive the paper is, and ran to my room. Where is it? I swear it's over there just a mi- there it is! It has moved about ten centimeters from where I last see it, there's no doubt that the paper was actually a vivre card, the vivre card shop always write the name at the middle, Mira's father cut it half, and print a picture of Mira, her mother, and him on the other half to be sent to Mira, that way Mira won't throw it away, and he can always track where she is, very smart, if only I realize this sooner. The paper inched slowly again, I snatched the paper from the floor, and noticed something on the corner of the paper... It's... It's burning! SHIT! Mira's life is in danger! I ran to the dining room while clutching the paper tightly on my hand "KILLER!"
The door slammed open when I was laying on my bed, already closing my eyes and almost falling asleep "who the fuck is that?" I groaned, I really don't want to deal with any other shits, this is giving me more than fucking enough headache. "It's... About... Mira!" Killer said while panting slightly, he has been running all the way from the dining room to my room after talking to Kora. I sat on my bed "okay, what is it you got this time?" "you see, that old picture of Mira, the one when Mira's still a little girl with her parents, it's actually a vivre card" "...what!?" Killer walked closer and showed me the paper, the backside of it had a small and neat 'R. Yumi' writing "Kora figured this out earlier, when some of the crewmen was playing with vivre cards, as she said, Mira's father cut this to half and print a picture on the other half to be sent to Mira, Mira loves her mother, and she wouldn't even think to throw this thing away, even if she cut it, it'll still tell Mira's father about her location, allowing him to track her down whenever he wanted to, plus! The reason he choose to track her down after 11 years was because Mira's turning 17 next month, July 10th,if we don't reach her until next month, she will be forced to become a marine by his father, and seeing his father is a vice admiral, such thing was possible, you know, there are a lot of low levels pirates which are forced to work for the marines" as soon as Killer finished his long breath-taking speech, I snatched the paper from his hand when I noticed a slight burning at the edge of the paper "where is the vivre card pointing to?" "For now, it's the same direction as the eternal pose" "she's fucking dying! Can't the ship go any faster?" I asked with frustration, I had a feeling this is going to be a long week, and the winds are slower than a fucking snail "the machine capacity hasn't reached maximum yet, but the wind isn't helping, we could use the machine to maximum, but the wind will always help" "well, what are you waiting for then? Letter from Roger? Use the machine to maximum capacity while we wait for winds!" I barked, Killer rushed out from my room and shouted some order to the crewmen outside, I looked at the paper, it's still burning, but it was burning less than when I first see it, I hope she's alright... Aaarrgghh, this is because of those damned marines! Fuck this shit, fuck the marines!
I've lost my track on the time, I've passed lunch, so it might be around 2 or 3 on the evening, this place had no clock, and all that I know is, every few hours, some marine officer will come into the bars to beat me up, asking the where about of the Kid Pirates, and those idiot thinks I know, but even if I know, I will never tell them, idiots will always be idiots. The bars at the door rattled as a marine officer knocked his gun at the bars "Rise and shine prisoner, the vice admiral wish to speak to you" I glared through the bars, the marine officer opened the door, and the oh-so-feared vice admiral walks in, and the door was closed, I didn't bother to look up, beside, I know who just walked in. "Rokashi Yumi, you will learn to pay me more respect the next time I enter your cell" he said, yanking my hair so that I'm facing him "better. Well, as you know your crime as a pirate is unforgivable, however, seeing your bloodline, it would be such a shame if you're thrown into the jail, so, special for you only girl, I had another... Offering..."
