Chapter 13: Lily Pirates Set Off! A New Adventure!
Once all the partying was over, the Lily Pirates got all the necessaries of a sailing boat. Water, food, and the like. The islanders even gave them a small sailboat, not unlike the one Lily had set off in. The sail was painted with their emblem.
"That's the last one!" Lily opened up a circle, and a barrel of meat materialized onto the small boat. Shizune sighed. "Damn, that was painful." He rubbed hishands together. "Splinters?" Lily asked. "Yeah." He replied. "Lucky you and your magic circles." Lily walked over to Shizune taking long strides. "Hold still." She grabbed his hands, holding them palms up. "Healing Circle: Magic Angel!"
A small yellow circle covered his hands, and a warm light emanated from it. The small splinters fell from his hands. Lily pulled her hands back, and Shizune gasped. "It doesn't hurt anymore! What's that circle you just used?" Shizune asked excitedly. "It depletes pain and heals minor wounds. It wouldn't be able to heal broken bones, or the slice I took from Caesar. But it can heal things like small cuts, and maybe very light fractures." Lily explained.
"Well, that aside, we should probably get going." Shizune stated. Lily and Shizune clambered into the small boat, and started untying the knots that tied the boats to the dock. One of the villagers came down the hill. She shouted something, then more villagers came. Then more. By the time the duo were ready to set sail, the entire village seemed to be in the area by the dock. They were cheering and chanting the names of the Lily Pirates!
Shizune stood up, and the crowd slowly dulled to a silence. "Everyone from the village. Thank you so much. For everything! But, I have become a man now! I swore my life to this feeble pirate crew! But I'll make it back here someday, a new man, after seeing the world!" He shouted, tearing up. The crowd went into a huge uproar, spouting deafening shouts and cheers.
Lily giggled, then unfurled the sail. The boat caught the wind, and started moving away from the village. It kept going to the point where the cheers couldn't be heard any longer. Shizune was still standing, and he eventually sat down after some time. "I'm gonna miss that damn village." He said, still teary.
