Chapter 5: The Bird that stopped in Baratie

Part V

-12 years ago-

The boy looked at the back of his teacher while looking at the destroyed rock before him. He was serious and no words came form his mouth while he looked towards his hand. The metal prostheses clicked while he moved them and then turned his eyes back to his sensei "How do you call that technique? Sensei?" he asked seriously in his childish voice.

The sensei turned towards the black haired with green and red strand's kid with a light smile "What interested Kuryu?" the female said.

Kuryu looked towards the rock and then back towards his teacher, he couldn't help it. The world was cruel and sometimes it was necessary to do things…that…that, his mind blocked the though and looked towards his teacher "No…" he said seriously yet a bit ashamed.

"Hahahahahahahaha! Really boy you are amusing boy, no wonder I chose you." the female voice exclaimed and moved her left hand in front pointing it to the air "There is no such thing as one technique, it has variations Kuryu and it adapts to the user, depending on the person such is the development of the technique but all in all its called…" she moved her index finger back to her thumb and then like if she was only poking something she released it…

-End of Flashback-

"Shigan "Housshi"!" Kuryu shouted while he launched both of his hands towards Jazz with his index finger backed and as soon both hands were a few centimeters from Jazz he released his fingers hitting him on the torso. Like the first time he ever performed it, the effect was brutal: he could feel his index fingers perforating Jazz's body and as soon as the energy was unleashed into Jazz's body the man was sent flying thru the ship.

Li's eyes were wide open; her mouth as well and her body was trembling. Not because of what she had seen the monk do, in fact she was astonished to see the monk do such technique but what really got into her nerves was 'the' feeling. Like ice on her back, like if the world around her was closing, like a force that could not be stopped, like a titan that had entered the world…She could not understand it and nor could her body. The pain was gone but 'this' feeling had taken over her, like a new threat her body recognized as something beyond her understanding "Monk….What's wrong?" her voice trembled.

Kuryu looked towards his extended hands, he was trembling as well, he could not control it nor he could understand it but one thing he was sure: this attack was pure instinct of survival. He didn't want to make it or even use it but his body had moved on his own, the feeling had moved much more than only the ice on his spine but had actually forced him to survive, to use what he denied and to do something he will likely will never be able to forgive himself, while he looked at his index fingers that were dripping blood "This is…" his voice trembled as while his eyes turned towards where most of the crew was gathered.

Pure silence, for mere seconds, nor the sea or the air could be heard only a slight hiss and as soon as the hiss ended 'something' was sent flying thru out the crowd towards the broken mast. Whatever was sent it couldn't be seen only the impact on the wood and the damage the object had done thru it's flying path and a cloud of dust and debris along the ship.

Elina was no exception, her body was not moving, in fact she could feel tears going down from her eyes but it was nor because of pain or sadness. Something was wrong and she could not tell what was it but she was sure of one thing: Her body was asking to run, to get away from this place and as far as she could but at the same time her body denied her of all movement. She tried to shout but nothing came out till the sound of a light 'thud' was heard and her eyes moved towards the place from where the sound came.

"Get away from me! Stay away!" the shout came from Jackie, the girl had appeared running from the crowd with a face that matched the rest of the group. Holding a sword in hand "Dogs! Stop him Dogs!" he shouted towards the crew.

Elina had failed to notice but the whole crew stood frozen, like if time had been stolen from them, like stone figures just standing there without even blinking their eyes. Soon one of the dropped to the ground, his face made goose bumps move thru her body: eyes wide open, mouth closed, dilatation of pupils, skin white as snow and she could see blood dripping from their eyes, in the form of tears no cuts or anything just blood dripping from their eyes.

A step, then another and then another could heard from the frozen crowd, from it a figure came into view, walking slowly at each step that he made some one from the pirate group felled down to the ground with same expression as the former pirate. He stood at full height his red haired moved thru out the wind as did his garb, both of his hands in fist and one could see his face fully: his green eyes concentrated on Jackie and a smile, the smile even if you could call that a smile assured Elina that the feeling of ice on her back and the sensation of running away towards eternity came from this man "Musashi…" her voice trembled.

Li and Kuryu started at the man with open mouths wondering if it was a good thing to see him alive or a curse to even see him walking on the ship. He was not carrying his sword but for what it seemed he didn't required it, the man's eyes were concentrated on Jackie and whatever had been sent flying towards the end of ship.

"Come on, the fun is just beginning little girl…" the icy and sadistic voice of Musashi echoed the ship while a thunderclap accompanied it. His eyes turned towards the group and his face turned a bit serious "Piece of advice for you boyos….run away from here."

The words carried authority and power, he knew it and felt it, he wanted to run, run as far as he could and forget this feeling, whatever it was creating on him, he could only described it as death. The monk now was sure who created the feeling back on Shelltown and he feared this fact, that he had been wrong all along that the true enemy was sleeping besides him every night, he couldn't speak nor he could think he could only act. He jumped towards Musashi and threw a punch that should be enough to throw this man back to his senses or so he calculated but he never punched it, in fact he actually passed thru him…Passed? He landed expertly still trembling looking towards Musashi that walked towards the broken mast slowly.

"How…" the monk muttered as he got up and once again launched himself against the walking Musashi to once again just passed thru him this time he observed his hand and he saw it. The moment his hand made contact with Musashi's thorax it was engulfed in reddish blue flames as it passed thru it …but it didn't hurt, burn or ached, in fact he didn't feel anything, it was like if he was touching pure air. Once again the monk landed back to where the group was standing while he looked towards Musashi and greeted his teeth, not because of anger or fear, it was mere instinct that his body made him do, so much did this man made him feel.

Musashi seemed to ignore the existence of the monk and kept walking towards the broken mast with that icy smile on his face at each step a thunder could be heard on the distance and the sea became more violent, as if his sole presence disturbed the balance of nature. Soon he was before the broken mast and his smile grew even wider "Get up, the fun is just beginning!" he exclaimed maniacally while he looked towards the ground. No answer came back to him his smile disappeared and was replaced by a face of a sad disappointment "What? You are not getting up?" he asked with a small laugh at the end "Then, Let me help you!"

Lowell slowly opened his eye to see a hand coming towards his face, a white pale hand with fingerless glove and he knew it, death was coming to collect…The hand touched his face and the same feeling that had invaded him just a few seconds ago was back but this time he felt he wanted to grab his own skin and torn it away from himself and take the feeling away. It burned within him and he could feel them, tears, tears came down from his eyes while he screamed and screamed again trying to reach for some one to help him whoever could help him from this….this…

"Monster…" Elina muttered the words trembling almost to herself realizing the irony of reality: She called him a Monster but for once she actually believed those words. Musashi seemed to only be grabbing the man from the collar and raising him above his eye level but Elina doubted that he was only holding him because he could see One-Eye spitting blood every second as if somebody was forcing the blood up his throat…

"How is he…" muttered Li while her eyes continued to gaze wide open towards the man they had before them and suddenly she coughed blood and again and again, till she grabbed her mouth trying to control her own caught while in her mind she tried to figure out yet she didn't feel any pain or any sort of type of sickness which will usually cause this but then again that feeling in the back of her spine, that ice, it was not normal or it felt like anything she had felt before and the more she thought it and the more she caughted blood the more she supposed it was the feeling that made her bleed, hey eyes turned towards both Elina and the monk to only gasp in surprise.

The monk was in a very similar status as herself but Elina was a whole different story, she was not spitting blood but vomiting blood and whatever she had on her stomach. Her eyes cried endlessly like an endless waterfall yet she made no sound her eyes were concentrated on Musashi as if trying to see what was the trick behind all this, trying to find an explanation for what she was feeling but with no avail. Once again her body ejected fluids and blood from her mouth, as if her own body rejected her own existence at this moments "It makes no sense…"

"I am impressed!" Musashi's voice exclaimed while he smiled at One-Eye as he tightened his grip on One-Eyes collar "You are able to hold yourself…even at this distance." He said seriously while he moved one of his hands from Lowell's collar and pointed it towards Baratie in a tight fist "You are worthy opponent yet….Justice must be done." He said seriously while he opened his fist.

On Baratie, Zeff gazed towards the place where both ships stood and at the new storm that now surrounded them raged thru out the sea. He had stood in silence since the moment they felt that itch on their spine and went gone inside to only find that the boys carcass was no longer there only his titanic sword laid on the ground and big hole on ceiling of the restaurant could be seen not to mention that most of the customers had gone to either the bathroom to vomit or had passed out in the middle of their meal. Zeff and the rest of the chefs only gazed at the situation open mouthed none muttering even a sound.

"What's this Owner…." Carne said trembling towards his boss "Why my body keeps trembling and and and I can barely speak properly Owner!"

"W-W-W-What you mean T-t-t-t-trembling!" Patty said nervious while he tightened his grip on his bazooka "E-e-e-e-e-everything is o-o-o-o-okay!"

"As it is asshole!" shouted Sanji trembling while his eyes gazed towards the two ships "Old man! What's this?"

Zeff eyes gazed seriously at the ships "I felt something similar before on the Grand Line but…" he gazed towards his arm, it was trembling and his eye twitched a bit "But it was nothing like this….not even close."

"But what is causing this?" shouted Sanji.

"Who…" Zeff answered.

"Old man?" Sanji's eyes widened.

"The question is: Who is causing this not what is causing this…" he answered seriously.

"PATCH!" Sanji shouted while he sprinted towards the sea to only found himself pinned down to the ground by Zeff himself "Old man!" his eyes turned towards Zeff's face…. What he saw in the man that saved his life so many years ago made his eyes widened and his body trembled a bit.

"Don't you dare to move…" the voice of Baratie's owner no longer was solemn or serious this new voice carried fear, while his eyes turned towards the two ships on the distance "I cannot let you gamble your life, when one is already in play…"

Sanji's eyes looked towards the master chef with a whole new fear and shouted in desperation "PATCCHH! PATCH!..." again and again towards the air while he fought Zeff's grip trying to free himself.

"Damn it boy, please don't die…" Zeff muttered to himself.

This last thought of Zeff was interrupted by a hissing sound that came from the inside of the Baratie and to be more precise from the blanket where Musashi's lifeless body once stood and it was the blade it was humming…the blade was humming?

"Stop it…" he murmured, the pain his body suffered after his last action could barely move or stay conscious and right now he was regretting it but then again how could he know this was going to happen? The man the others called Musashi had saved him a few moments ago but now he wondered if he was glad to be saved or will he regret he being alive for a long time to come.

For Patch the pain that he had endured after this last attack he had used against One-Eye had left him almost defenseless and weak. Also this new feeling, the pain in his body kept him distracted of this feeling that surrounded him, lying on the floor and looking towards the people that surrounded him. Most of them were either on the ground unconscious or on their knees vomiting blood and whatever they had eaten before this trip, only two stood on their own two feet looking at a spectacle he could not see but whatever they were seeing was not good, in fact he could be sure that what they were seeing was making them cry and they had not blinked, their eyes were frozen on the moment, this two were a women and a girl that seemed to know One-Eye and tried to persuade him from killing people. Right now, sadly for him, he could only watch and count the minutes as he looked at his right hand that was a few feet away "13 minutes, huh, I wonder if I will make it this time…" he muttered to himself.

She could barely stand and some how her heart was the only thing keeping her from collapsing, Lowell was at wrong she knew that but….her eyes focused on what lied a few meters from her. She could not see Lowii but she could see the red garb flowing thru the air and also that man's hair, he had saved the passengers but Lowii didn't deserve that no, he was only trying to protect her. She wanted to move but….

She could not move and even at her age she was standing stiff as a rock before Robin, who as well apparently could not even speak or move as herself. She had lived a long life and seen many things in her days but this, this, she could not even place a word or a description to this feeling, whatever it was, it was keeping her from even blinking, her eyes hurt and she could feel could tears were forming while her gaze was concentrated on the man they had before them. She could not see Lowell but she could see this man and she knew this feeling came from him.

"MOVE DAMN IT!" Li shouted towards her body, her eyes were fixed on Musashi, she had to stop him even if this man had threaten the life of innocent people he didn't have to die no…NO he will not die yet her body seemed to define destiny differently "BASTARD! STOP IT!"

Li's shout seemed to fall into deaf ear as Musashi only rose One-Eye even higher smiling at him "How does it feel? To be the one facing death?" he asked with that icy voice and as he barely spoke One-Eye spitted more blood yet this time it came with a scream and Musashi smiled at him as his eyes turned towards the sea "Here it comes…."

From the sea and to be more precise from the Baratie an object traveled at a speed that made the angry ocean calm as it passed. The dark blade moved above the ocean fast and straight as bullet humming as it made its way towards the ships. The sword seemed to be answering a call, a call from it's master while it flew thru the ocean cutting thru air and water alike making a small wave thru the sea while it passed.

"Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth…." The monk repeated to himself out loud with eyes closed and his hands in a praying position before his face, a mantra, he had been taught well and he had seen this mantra calm people even at the brink of death right now he prayed that it will bring some peace to his body. He repeated the words again and again to himself and the more he repeated the less his body trembled and soon he began to stand up while the repetition that once began as a simple mutter began to grow in volume and intensity till the moment it became a shout, a shout to the world it could be described, a shout the echoed thru out his entire body "HATRED DOES NOT CEASE IN THIS WORLD BY HATIN, BUT BY NOT HATING; THIS IS AN ETERNAL TRUTH." the moment he finished he launched himself towards Musashi "WAKE UP YOU DAMN PEDOPHILIC-IDIOT!"

Musashi only turned towards Kuryu seriously and then back to One-Eye ignoring him fully "Any last words…" these words were accompanied by the arrival of Musashi's black sword to his hand and then pointing the tip of the blade towards One-Eye's neck "I insist: any last words?"

Kuryu greeted his teeth in anger "PEDOPHILIC-IDIOT! WAKE UP!" he moved both of his metal finger prosthesis backwards hearing the clank of mechanism moving within them, he knew, he was pushing his body parts to the limit, he had suffered too much damage against Jazz and his body was right now paying the price. He flexed both of the metal fingers together and moved both of his arms backwards his eyes concentrated on Musashi and his blade, he could still feel that force coming from him. The feeling that for now it was kept at bay within his heart, as he got nearer and nearer to Musashi, this attack would have killed a normal man but Musashi, he could take the punishment or so he prayed but he had to stop him one way or another. He was a step from Musashi who stilled ignored the incoming monk and now Kuryu prayed that this will work, that the attack will at least make some damage on the man that seemed to have become invincible he launched both of his hands towards Musashi side and flexed back both of his metal fingers yet the speed was too much, at the moment he flexed them back he realized, he had lost them and if this attack didn't work, well he prayed to the path to give them some sort of miracle "KISHIGAN!" he felt something as now his useless fingers connected with Musashi's body and a light smiled appeared on the monks face.

It disappeared, Li realized, her body no longer felt it only a memory of it remained but nothing else of that feeling. As her eyes looked towards where Musashi once stood, now only Kuryu stood besides an unconscious One-Eye "No time to waste…" she though as she got back to her feet and ran towards the monk and One-Eye "Is he out…" she asked seriously towards the monk with both his sword and dagger in hand facing a big hole on the ship that had been done apparently by Musashi's body.

"I doubt it Miss Li but I am out of ideas…." Kuryu said smiling lightly while he felled down to his knees and at the same time the sound of clanking metal was heard. Kuryu's eyes moved towards the ground to only see his finger prothesis on the ground, it didn't hurt him, they were design that the moment they were detached from his body they were as well disconnected from his nerves yet right now he was "Useless….Damn it! Sorry Miss Li this is as much as I can do right now…." The monk laughed lightly at the situation.

Li looked towards the monk with a light smirk "The hell you are done asshole! We still have to save that speed-devil!" she said while tensing her legs and looked towards the hole and then back towards One-Eye "Well Cyclops here won't be doing any more damage any time soon." The weapon mistress said smiling "But now we have a greater problem at hand…fucking bastard…" she cursed.

He rose from the rubble without even a scratch and his once smiling face now stood a serious, a dark and serious face. He was impressed, truly impressed, some one had managed to land a hit on him while he stood like this and that was a feet worth of commending. He began to walk back towards his target, the one that should be judged while he tightened the grip on his blade and allowed it to flow again, freely and move thru out his body and out "Tenkei…" he muttered to himself and the icy, cruel and sadistic smile appeared once again.

Elina had barely gripped her breath once again as soon as "The Feeling" was gone but she had suffered too much and her body was barely keeping her conscious. She feared and knew she will passed out but she wanted to assure that everyone was all right…Her body felt it and as soon as she felt it she vomited once again yet this time she screamed as she vomited blood and some type of greenish liquid which she no idea what the heck was that once again, tears began falling from her eyes like a waterfall till her line of vision seemed hazy and watery if there was any way to describe it.

Li felt the "Feeling" once again yet this time she decided to face it, last time she was not ready for it but she had felt it coming from the bastard and she was going to hold her ground. The moment it touched her spine she shouted and cursed with all her might still she could feel her body trembling but less than before and her stomach seemed to be in full control rather than letting all of her fluids go down the drain. She took some air and began shouting again, as if the shout will make it go away but to no avail she could only keep it at bay to the point she could only stand and shout "BASSSSSTARDDDDDDDDD!"

From the hole he appeared once again, with sword in hand and the icy, cruel and sadistic smile appeared while his eyes gazed towards the monk and the weapon mistress while he began to walk toward One-Eye that still stood on the ground unconscious "I think I made myself clear boyos…" his voice echoed thru the air, his raspy and icy voice.

Kuryu for a moment felt he couldn't breath or even blink as the words left Musashi's mouth and he gazed at him surprised, not that he could do something about it but he had to admit it was something beautiful but terrifying what this man was able to create by just speaking and something told him that none of them held the power to stand against him and definitely not like this. He only greeted his teeth at him and smiled "You are not invincible…" he muttered under his breath.

Musashi looked at him and pointed his middle finger towards both Li and Kuryu smirking evily "Will see about that…" his raspy voice mocked, "For now stand out of my WAY…." The voice made the wind around him making his own red garb move and so did his hair revealing two green eyes that seem to command the world before them.

Li shouted again trying to keep the feeling at bay, the more he spoke he could feel the tingly sensation moving up her spine and she knew if she allowed it to reach she would probably once again find herself on all fours vomiting whatever was left in her insights. Her eyes concentrated on the bastard before her that right now she was starting to admit she had no chance whatsoever against this man or whatever he now was but she was not going down, no without trying to at least stop him from taking another life "BASTARDDDDDDDD!" she shouted once again.

Musashi smiled evilly towards the weapon mistress and then turned death serious "Your determination is outstanding Miss Li but within it you will find your own weakness…" while he moved the finger that was pointing towards both Kuryu and Li just a little towards the side barley noticeable for Kuryu and Li.

Both Kuryu and Li felt the force on their bodies it was strong and both would have been able to hold it but the damaged they had suffered defined the following moment. Li lost her footing and at the same time her ground towards the feeling and at the moment the force stroke them Li began to vomit once again while the force launched them thru the ship back towards Elina's side.

Kuryu could not help but admire what he was feeling and seeing before him, the force felt only as a little push on his body but it was more than a simple push it was a whole attack towards his spirit, he had felt it, in fact the whole mantra he had done previously to maintain the feeling at bay had been done in vain. His heart and mind once again were in chaos and now he knew he was utterly defeated and he knew that Li was probably on a similar situation.

Kuryu and Li felled down besides a stupefied Elina who was still crying gazing towards the demon before them. Elina could not move or even react since the moment the "Feeling" had returned. Right now still crying with no reason she knew that Musashi will save Haze, but at what cost? Will he stop as soon he killed One-Eye and Sparrow? Or will there be more heads on this ship? Heck, Will they survive?

One-Eye was still unconscious on the floor and Musashi walked towards him with a serious face. Till he was before him and once again he grabbed him by the collar and rose him a few centimeters above his eye level and smiled once again "Where were we?" he asked sarcastically.

One-Eye could only see darkness and he didn't feel anything, in fact he knew he was either death or was about to die. Right now he only felt remorse for one thing, he hadn't been able to say good-bye to Robin and Roza, he owed them so much and all thought he had lived a life of piracy and killed his own share deep within he felt he had done the right thing for those two, his whole life had lived only for those two and he had done it till the last moment and so he had no regrets. Only not saying…

"Good…" One-Eye barely muttered.

"Sorry? You said something!" he mocked while he moved One-Eye closer to his face with a titanic smile while thunders clapped behind him and the thundering wind caused both his red hair and garb to move.

Somewhere in this place between death and life he could see Robin and Roza on the cottage they owned, on that small island and he see himself seating besides them smiling and now he was sure he was in heaven.

"Good-bye…" he muttered once again.

Musashi's eyes seemed to regain the light that usually was within them and as caused of it he freed his grip from One-Eye letting him fall into his knees before Musashi, the moment One-Eye dropped to his knees the storm disappeared and so did the wind and thunder. The green haired boy began looking towards One-Eye in a way that looked like pity and as if recovering from a bad dream he began to breath heavily and gasp, as if wishing for air "You…." He turned his face from One-Eye "NOOO! JUSTICE MUST BE DONE!" once again the wind, storm and thunder came back with the shout that came from Musashi.

Did he love her? Lowell questioned for a moment, he always looked at her like a little sister of sorts but then again, he did love her, right? He had loved and that was just fine right? He had lived enough and right now he was paying for his sins, right? He had lived a happy life.

Behind One-Eyes long black hair a smile painted on his lips.

"I won't be dissuaded by mere pity…" the icy voice of Musashi stated and as if this words themselves had been pronounced by a judge he turned towards One-Eye raising his sword and pointing it towards his neck "This is Justice, true and rightful Justice…" he said while he moved back and pushed his black sword towards the swordsman's neck.

"BASTARDDDDDDDD!" she had regained conscious somehow and now Li was shouting and praying to whatever gods to make this man come back to his senses, if he had any.

"MUSASHI DON'T LET IT CONTROL YOU!" the monk had noticed that single moment when Musashi some how had gotten back to his own self and for a mere second it seemed as if the ol' pedophilic-idiot had gotten back to his own self and right now he was sure; Musashi was not the enemy, no, it was something deeper and darker "DON'T KILL HIM!"

Elina didn't shout she was now only moving towards her bazooka, she had one shot and she knew if she was able to land the shot on 'monster' the probabilities of getting him back to normal were 'better' than nothing yet she was barely able to move and the bazooka itself was heavy and somehow she knew she was not going to make it.

Patch was now pulling himself towards his hand and hopped to at least be able to help with the situation at hand, time war running out for him but considering the progress he had made till now: he will reach his hand in time but will he be of any help then? He felt it again, the feeling that had invaded him while the red haired boy was saving him, had been coming and disappearing from moment to moment but all in all the rest of the crew still lied on the floor or were vomiting their insights as his eyes traveled towards the girl and woman to only notice that one of them was not there…was not "Damn!" he cursed while he tried to move.

Suddenly both Roza and Robin disappeared leaving him once again in pure darkness "So its me time…" he said to himself while his eyes gazed towards the darkness. He wondered, how was he going to die? Or what will feel like dying? Heck, as far as he knew he was already death…

"DON'T!"

The sword came to a cold halt a few centimeters from a small neck that was full of tears from some golden eyes that were gazing towards Musashi angrily "HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO DIE!" she shouted towards him.

Musashi looked towards the young girl before him, golden eyes, and brown long hair. His long black sword held in hand pointing towards the girls neck, the sword stood firm and unmoved before her neck "Move out of my way, little girl…" he said in his icy and cold voice.

"NO! I WON'T!" she stated angrily while slamming one of her small feet to the ground.

"I said….MOVE OUT OF MY WAY!" this new shout from Musashi seemed to disturb the air before him as if a gust of wind came with it and moved towards the girl before him making her hair move like if a hurricane was hitting her right in the face and making her shot her eyes a bit.

She coughed blood and cried in pain as the shout came from Musashi but she didn't move, not even an inch and kept standing her ground "NOOO! YOU WON'T DECIDE IF HE DIES MISTER!" she shouted once again towards Musashi, she barely had any voice left and the shout itself came accompanied by blood as she only stood before Musashi defiantly, not even trembling at the sight of his blade.

Musashi's dark eyes looked towards the girl seriously "That is your answer, little girl…" he questioned her.

"YESSS!" she shouted back.

The blade moved from her neck and Musashi moved towards his back while he looked towards the girl before him "You love him don't you?" the icy voice of Musashi questioned.

The girl suddenly became red as a cherry and even seemed to forgot before who she was or what was happening as she turned her eyes towards the side "Well like love him….well like that LOVE, I am not sure you know, it's very hard to say but, but, but, but, but…" she realized her situation and came back to reality "HEY!" she shouted "I STILL WON'T LET YOU KILL HIM!"

Musashi looked at the girl death serious as the wind continued to move his garb and hair "I won't…" his dark icy voice answered "What's your name little girl?"

The girl looked towards Musashi green eyes wondering what had stopped him, why only a shout from her, when a bunch of people who seemed to know him had been unable to get to him? "Robin, Robin Mayfield.." she answered shyly.

"I will remember that name, Miss Mayfield…" he answered and turned around from them and smiled darkly "Yet….this is not over right "little girl"!" he shouted manically while his eyes moved towards were the rudder stood.

There was Jackie the Sparrow, on her hands she was holding a sleeping Haze and on her neck she had a blade. Jackie's eyes were too open and tense for any human, her smile no longer a fearful smile but that of a mad man and all thou her eyes were full of tears it seemed like if her own eyes neglected the existence of this tears "How thoughtful of you to remember me dog! I was begging to feel forgotten!" as she held Haze a bit higher for him to look "As much I would like to stay here for the party, I must be going with the pouch here for some lessons on appropriate manners!"

Musashi smiled even wider "Ohhhh, you really think so?" he answered darkly while he moved his eyes directly towards Sparrow and as if he commanded it the air itself became stronger.

Jackie began to smile nervously "He, he, he, You are like me…Just like me!" she shouted crazily while she moved the blade closer towards Haze's neck while she began to feel the feeling, that feeling that chilled her spine and for a moment she began to actually fear something like a few moments ago, she was fearing this man.

"Ohhh All though I do admit I have so many similarities to you little girl and hate to admit it thou…." He answered sarcastically, while he raised one finger "There is one elemental and sublime difference that separates us both…"

"Ohhhh and what will that be?" Jackie teased Musashi.

"That I will keep on living on this mad world we know so well! And you….little girl…" The smile grew wider on his face "are about to die…."
