"Prepare then origin brother, it was nice to meet you." The panther jumped bellow the tree line, Lapu would soon follow. The two were in front of each other. The battle between the two man who both lost their village from the works of the white men, were about to battle for the hopes of their ally, a white man, how ironic.
Bishiou Pirate LapuLapu v.s. Oomenie Pirates Second Commander "Panther" Veshiro
"Why do you help that man origin brother." Said the panther.
The panther and griffin were in their hybrid form, clashing ever so often when they both gained enough momentum to spring back. The clash were claw against talon. As of that moment, no one was winning.
"Daeh...he helped me liberate my village. How about yourself?" Asked the griffin. It was almost comical how the two fought fiercely with one another, but ended up crossing fist.
The panther would not answer for quiet some time as the pair continued to trade blows. Lapu decided it was time to use his wings and flew up. The panther caught him by jumping from tree to tree, pining the wings of the griffin. As the two were falling towards the ground, Veshiro pushed off of the Griffin and landed safely on a tree. It was not the same for Lapu who crashed onto the ground. Veshiro began to speak.
"Leader killed all of the white man that destroyed my village origin brother. He disguised himself as one of them and killed them when they least expected it. Despite my hard life as a slave, I had a peace of mind that those white man who enslaved my people are now dead." Explained the panther, jumping from the tree to send a claw at the face of the griffin.
"If you do not mind me asking..." As he got up, the griffin dodged the claw that the panther threw at him. "...did you happen to have your powers at that time."
The panther stopped at mid attack and jumped backwards. "Why yes,it was given to me by the elder, how did you know?"
"This may come as a shock to you brother, but your Leader is not the man he says he is. What do you know of his ability?"
"I am aware that he is very skilled, though I have never seen his powers with my own eyes..."
"Brother, I believe that this Leader killed your village and sold you to slavery , for he has the power to multiple into different people."
"What no, it can't be..." Panther took a step back, grasping his head, as the sudden shock of this revelation really took him back.
"And this island, Gi island, was the center of illegal activities by this leader of yours."
"That's not true." Panther stop to consider what the enemy was saying. "Have I been played? How about yourself, your white man saved you also!"
"I'm afraid so brother. And I saw his power brother, he is not capable of duplicating himself like your Leader."
"I don't believe you..." Panther got on his battle stance, he dropped on all fours. Lapu began to flew once more but the panther was too fast and caught up with the bird man. Before he could fly, panther was already there in front of him, grabbing him by the legs tossing him to the ground. Lapu was slow to get up. This was because he wanted to make a point. He did not want to battle his own origin brother.
"Brother if I were to lie, our great creator would have sent someone or go down to the earth himself to punish me."
"I do not believe in that anymore...I don't" Panther was obviously confused, there was one way of proving it.
"I will show you."
"What?!"
"Origin Brother, I tell you that your Leader is indeed a good man." There was a moment of silence, Lapu was unsure whether the code was real. But luckily (or maybe not so much) the sky lit up for a moment, then a person crashed down to the earth in front of Lapu. This man had a mask of a jackal, carrying a sickle in one hand, and whip in another. He radiated with a mysterious aura, almost like a spirit.
"You have broken the code, Lapu of the Komugi tribe. For this sin, you must suffer the consequences." The jackal struck Lapu straight across the chest with his sickle, but Lapu was not wounded. "You will experience pain for the next 24 hours. Though in normal time. It will only be 20 seconds." As the entity of the jackal disappeared in a flash. And Lapu froze in his spot. True to the spirit's word, Lapu would not move for the next 20 seconds. But as he stired back to reality, Lapu let out a blood curling yell of anguish. Then he fell on the ground. The only thing keeping him up is to see if the Panther believes him right then.
"I...want to destroy him..." Now Panther was convinced. Leader was no good. 'It's true, the Origin...'
"For right now, we can't do a thing because my captain is going against this Leader." The griffin panted, it was difficult to speak but he got the answer he desired.
"Forgive me brother, that I raised my fist against you. How could I be so blind."
"Once we recover brother, we must join with my group, it seems that your friend is going all out against Kagaro."
The earth was trembling and a massive volcanic eruption could be seen. Rade and Kagaro were now reaching the climax of their battle, Lapu hopes his friend will be alright.
Back to James and Puro(Again)
It didn't take long for the pair to encounter Leyla again. This time she found her other two crew mates; Qui and Daz.
"Well now its two on three. What do you want to do here Puro?" James ask his hunting partner.
"How about I'll take that hoop girl and that transforming guy. You take that one smoke guy." Said Puro.
"Oy! What are you two talking about right there?! You think this is a game? Hunting us all down one by one?" Said the smoke user.
"Yeah I got him Puro." James then rushed Daz, scoring the first hit with an uppercut. Leyla and Qui attempted to aid their crew mate only to almost die from an arrow by Puro.
"I'm your opponent. You still got numbers on me bastards. Two on one seems fair, for me that is." Puro continued to send multiple arrows at the pair, shifting their focus to the arrow user. Qui transformed into a hoop which Leyla began spinning, then she created ten more that was identical to Qui. She began to shuffle the hoops and threw them at the marksman. In this time, Puro's sharp eyes kept track of where the transformed Qui was and by the fourth throw, he knew that Qui will attempt to get behind him. So as Leyla threw her fourth hoop, Kagaro intercepted it by sending three arrows at what he thought were pressure points. Qui returned to his human form and fell flat on his face, the three arrows were stuck in his glutenous. Leyla was easier to defeat as he simply appeared behind her and press her pressure point in her neck. Then she fell on the floor, falling asleep.
James was done with his enemy by the time Leyla was knocked out. Daz was on a distant tree stump, defeated by the much stronger James.
"Good. James let's return to the ship and regroup with the others." Said Puro, answering James' question.
"Alright then lets go." James ran toward where he though the ship would be but Puro threw a rock at his head and pointed the opposite direction. "Oh right!"
The pair continued their war back to the ship when they spotted familiar faces.
"Nanami! Sumi!" James and Puro ran towards them. "Oh, hi Vang" Ofcourse James hasn't forgiven the tactician. Puro didn't care.
"Hey James, Puro! We're heading back to the ship, we'll fill you in on what happened." Said Nanami as he gave them a quick hug. It was good to have their doctor back.
After running for sometime, James and Puro were caught up on what happened to Nanami, Sumi and Vang. Now it was their turn to share what they did.
"Well I'm glad you got that out of your system, but looks like I don't have to heal you two. That's good." Said Nanami.
"We were careful you know."Said James, he was surprise that the little man would speak next after him.
"James, Sumi find Isla. She should still be in that ship with Snowqueen. Right now we are really running out of time." Vang was worried. The rapid spread of the ashes caused the air to thicken making it harder to breathe. James wanted to protest but Sumi dragged him along warning him not to speak.
"Let's go to our ship then?" Said Nanami and continued their on their way. Puro, Nanami, Vang were together while Sumi and James went to pick up Isla.
It wasn't too long that the trio arrived back on the Bishiou Pirate ship. They encountered a couple of Oomenie Pirates but they weren't trying to fight, instead, the pirates were rushing back to shore to escape for the upcoming disaster. "They know that Rade is going to blow up the volcano." Commented Vang.
As the trio boarded the ship, Vang suggested that they should go to the location of Isla, James, and Sumi. Puro and Nanami agreed and they were off.
Previously
"Welcome to Gi Island Kagaro Ma! Where Volcanoes are supreme!" A red gooey substance escaped from the volcano, wrapping around the first commander. "Ready? Get Set. Go!"
Bishiou Pirate Kagaro Ma v.s. Oomenie Pirates First Commander "Hotshot" Rade
The volcano erupted.
"Why do you persist to challenge me Kagaro Ma!" Rade continued to throw a flurry of magma at the man. Kagaro's quick reflexes and years of training granted him enough time to dodge the magma before he could get hit.
"I am not fighting for myself First Commander, I am fighting for the will of the Bishiou Pirates." It was Kagaro's turn to send several bone projectiles at Rade. To counter, Rade simply raised his hands and a magma wall prevented the bones from reaching the first commander. Instead, the bones melted halfway after piercing the molten wall.
"Excellent, then I am fighting for the will of my Father." Rade finally jumped from his volcano and engaged in hand to hand combat with Kagaro.
The First Mate accepted the challenge of the first commander and threw a punch at his enemy. Rade dodged the attack and countered with a kick of his own. Kagaro received the kick by grabing the enemies' legs. Then he attempted to throw him. Rade was now off balance and could not counter. So Kagaro threw him back to his volcano but this time, on the bottom, creating a small crater where the first commander hit.
Rade was slow to get up, obviously surprise by the counter.
"Had enough then?" Asked Kagaro who had no sign of fatigue.
"I could ask you the same!" He put his palms to the ground and a jet stream of magma flowed from his hands, this propelled Rade in an upward position. "Let's dance, shall we?" Rade held both hands forward, with the palm facing Kagaro and in a similar manner that he used to push himself up, a jet stream of magma raced towards the first mate.
Kagaro was able to dodge but his clothes were burnt. "You're targeting my legs?"
"Ofcourse, why not?"
"I don't know"
"Well with no legs you can't move, then you die easier, you dig?"
"Rade you don't have to fight me"
"Oh why?" Rade continue to throw magma at Kagaro.
"Because your father isn't the most honest man"
"Well we are pirates but my father is the kindest in the sea. It is you who destroyed his island!" Anger began to show with his next attack, two giant fire ball was sent flying to the bone man.
"Your father didn't tell you did he?" Kagaro created the strongest bone sword he could and used it to slice the magma in two, luckily he was able to slice the two molten ball, but his bones was really hot, he now began to feel the heat.
"Tell me what?" Rade was beyond control now. The volcano erupted for a second time. This time Rade controlled the magma and sent it towards Kagaro.
"The Bishiou Pirates destroyed his Gi Island because it was the center of illegal activities!" Kagaro tried to avoid the magma as much as he could but he felt a burning sensation in his left leg. His skin was beginning to burn. "Ahhhhhhhh!" Kagaro jumped as high as he could with his one good leg and avoided the magma tsunami.
"That couldn't have happened!" Rade shot a magma ball at Kagaro while he was mid-air. But his focus was beginning to falter. His mind was beginning to run different scenarios. His father couldn't have done that, could he?
Kagaro was lucky that time. The magma that was ready to squish him missed by a hair. There was no way he could counter that attack midair. "Think about it. How did he show up when you all needed the most help."
"No... stop!" Rade sent multiple magma ball at his enemy. All were not well aimed and missed terribly.
"Think Rade. How did he happen to show up right when you were on the peak of your destructive spree."
"It's because of...destiny?" He was unsure now.
"How about for Carla? How did he show up when she almost took her life? Tyro and Raine when they were on the verge of death with their hunger? And Veshiro, how was he sold into slavery?"
Rade attempted one more time to strike Kagaro, but the bone man was quicker stabbing the first commander in arms. Rade fell on the floor, the Volcano stopped its activities and Kagaro was able to relax
"It's finally over."
"How could I lose."
"You lost your will. Your father is going to be killed by my Captain."
"He won't father is supreme. A god among man. He won't be beaten."
"You forgot to mention a liar."
"He is no liar!" Rade attempted to get up but couldn't all the muscles in his bodies were exhausted. If he had the will to get up, he could. But the fighting is over, he lost to a superior opponent. Not only that, all the things Kagaro was saying started to make sense. The more he thought about it, the more it began to all click together. The mysterious nature of his father, the uncanny timing with all the members of the Oomenie pirates. Those were all false scenarios created to lure them in. All of them. "Damn it!" Hotshot of the Oomenie pirate smashed his hands in the ground, creating a massive crater, magma began to ooze from the earth only to cool down. Rade exerted his last energy in that punch and fainted. Exhaustion finally caught up with his mind.
"Oh...if Captain was here, he'd probably take you back to our ship. Alright let's go then." Kagaro did his best not to fall over, after all he only had one good leg, while the other was burnt and barely recognizable. Maybe his adrenaline helped him walked with the bad leg. "Nanami will fix me up." After hoisting Rade in his shoulder, Kagaro limped towards the direction of their ship.
With James and Sumi
"So you killed him huh?" James said as the pair dashed towards the ship of Snowqueen, where they left Isla to fight her battle.
"Well he really deserved it." Sumi defended her actions but she really was beginning to be bothered by her face, it really ached from all the punches she received from Speedy.
"No worries, I would have done worst." They were at their destination and the pair jump on the deck of the ship. There, they found the bodies of all the pirates they killed, all of them were Snowqueen's subordinates. To their surprise, they also found said commanders body laying face up with a knife in her stomach, she was dead. But Sumi stopped in her track as the cook of the Bishiou pirate lay face down on the deck, lifeless.
"Oh no..." Sumi rushed to the girl with James right behind her. Sumi gently turned her around and had her face up. "Isla, wake up." No response. "Isla...wake up." Still nothing.
"Isla! Get Up!" Yelled James, at that the cook stired awake, surprise to see her two Nakamas right there.
"What did I miss?" Said the cook as she began to cough. James immediately rushed to her side and picked her up, bridal style. Isla was in heaven.
"We'll catch you up. For now lets get back with the others."
"James they're here! They brought the ship with them." Exclaimed Sumi.
"Excellent!" Exclaimed James and the trio joined the others on their ship.
In her mind Isla was disappointed that James only carried her for a short amount of time, but she would cherish that time for the rest of her life. Nanami was the first to greet her and immediately went to work on her injuries.
"Nanami I'm glad you're back but you should rest! You were a prisoner!" Complained Isla, in truth she was just affraid of Nanami's unorthodox methods of healing.
"Nonesense, it's my job to heal, I'm a doctor for a reason you know. It's a promise to captain that I will never let any of you stay injured in my watch."
The volcano erupted a second time and the whole group hoped that the rest of their friends were alright.
The group was joined by Lapu, who brought the Second Commander of the Oomenie pirates with him, they were on guard at first but Lapu explained to them what happened. With just that explanation, the tension was gone and they treated the panther like a friend. Nanami and Lapu shared a moment to themselves, embracing one another for some time. Then they let go of one another at the looks everyone was giving them. Nanami went back to work on her patients quickly while Lapu went to look for something to do.
It wasn't too long after the second eruption of the volcano that Kagaro returned to the ship, carrying a sleeping First Commander that goes by the name of Rade. He was limping, and his leg was really ugly, it was horendous! Kagaro told them a similar story that he convinced his enemy that Leader was the bad guy and Rade believed him. The group agreed that it was a good day.
"Nanami I'm glad you're alright," said Kagaro "But you really need to rest." Nanami was already putting alcohol on his bad leg and began to heal his leg with her wide variety of herb collection.
"Shut it you, I told Isla the same exact thing. It's my job to heal, I'm a doctor for a reason you know. It's a promise to captain that I will never let any of you stay injured in my watch" Kagaro didn't have anything to say after that.
An hour has passed since the crew gathered back together. Kagaro was already standing and walking around despite wincing at the pain, making sure everything was in order.
"James, it's too calm..." Said Kagaro as he grabbed onto the rails on the ship.
"I agree." James was right beside Isla, who was now asleep by the medicine Nanami gave her.
Then a massive dust storm covered Gi Island and the ocean water began to tremble violently.
"Puro! What do you see?" Said Kagaro.
"Oh shit..." Said Puro, A giant wave was headed their way.
"Oh..." Was all the crew could muster before the wave fell on the ship.
