Ha. The time I put a major gap in my updating, it happens to be the time I use Ninjin's narrative. Figures. I'll update pretty soon to make up for it. I do not own One Piece. Reviewer thanks go out to Gryphon-san, Flower-san, Sakura-chan, Butterfly-san and Dixxy-san.
Inherited Will, Destiny of the Age
Chapter Thirty Seven
Ninjin: The Castle
Aisa is fucking awesome. I don't know how she got a shell to make wind, but it was cool. We got to run up the tunnel and beat up more guys. It was fun. Beating on the enemy makes me like a hero, like my sister. She was too cool. Yeah.
It took a little, but we made it to the top. There had been a lot of guards. When we did get outside again, it was damn bright. The sun hurt my eyes. The light was stronger than the torches in the tunnel.
"Come on! Let's get inside the castle!" Rika said. There were a bunch more soldiers, but Rika did that thing she does and made them all attack each other. We were able to get past them no problem.
"Fuck, this place is big!" Kappa said. We were inside and there was tons of places to go. The castle was really big on the inside with a lot of rooms and doors and halls.
"We're just gonna have to split up!" Rika said. "If we're gonna find Tashigi and Wapol, we're gonna need to cover a lot of ground."
"Why Wapol?" I asked. Rika smiled and used her "smart" look again.
"If he wants to get a hold of me that badly, I think I'll just take the fight to him." She turned to everyone and made her "smart" look stronger. "Paulie-ji, you take Piiman-kun and Chabo-kun and search the North Wing of the castle. I'll take Moda-chan, Tamanegi-kun, and Ninjin-kun to the South Wing. Kappa-kun, take Aisa-chan and search the towers. Castles have their dungeons in towers a lot, especially in places where dirt is too frozen to dig into. Tashigi-chan is most likely to be there. Any questions?"
"Yeah, why do I have to go with the lech?" Aisa said, pointing at Kappa.
"He knows what Tashigi looks like, is a pretty good fighter and probably can help you out if there's an issue. I want you to get a hold of Tashigi-chan just incase she's sick or something," Rika said.
"Makes sense," Aisa said.
"Then let's go before we're surrounded!" Paulie said. There were a bunch of soldiers starting to come from the halls. We broke up into groups and began fighting our way through the castle.
