…
Land that has been decreased to dust, those who were once living has forsaken their humanity in order to pique the hunger they are feeling.
God..?
What god..?
What is a God if the people who used to believe on him suffer and forget his name?
There is no such thing as God…
…only a make-believe dream of peace…
…
|Trust and Wishes|
Benn watched in awe as Chaos dances gracefully as he controls the crouching dragon of bubble he had made to distance the possessed friend of his. For some reason, Haruko seemed to react at the bubbles that Chaos was currently manipulating. It wasn't inflicting pain… it's just there was something with the bubbles that made him shifty and frightened. Right at this moment, Benn didn't know what to do. This fight… he doesn't know what to do. He knew it. He has no use here. But he can't afford the little boy getting harmed. If that happens his world might collapse completely with guilt and self-loathing.
"In darkness there is light, in light there is darkness. If fate has turned against you, you must stand tall and defy it! You and I knew the best how life is unfair. But it's not enough reason for you to forget everything forcefully." Chaos spoke calmly in front of the horrifying sight of the possession. It was not normal, even Benn himself can't deny the fear he feels inside. It was a humanly reaction to something unknown.
"Benn, can you place two talisman on his legs, one on the chest and two on the arms? Be careful, once he grabs you he's devour you whole with no hesitation. Also, do NOT use your gun. I won't recommend you killing your friend here." Then Chaos stopped in a strange position which also stopped the long dragon and dispersed into pieces of bubbles floating about in the air, pushing Haruko back with fright.
"It's time for me to use it…" his small fingers trailed on his check where the 3 tear drop marks were placed. Once he removed his fingers one mark was noticeably removed from his chin, at that moment long black marks swirled around his fingers. Marks that looks so similar to a devil fruit.
"…" Haruko let out a screeching scream that can terrify the soul out of weak hearted people. after that he charged full speed towards Chaos which alerted Benn.
Two on the legs…
One on the stomach…
Two on the shoulders…
Having that on mind Benn dashed to where Chaos was and took the child on his shoulder and manage to put one talisman on Haruko's stomach. The perpetrator doesn't seem to notice it.
"Good job Benn, keep running in circles. This ship is wide enough so you can manage. I'll recommend going for the legs first. Then if you successfully do so it will activate by itself immobilizing him completely for you to place on the arms. We need to do this fast because in order for me to take out Gluttony I must come in contact with the one that caused the vessel to be corrupted."
"What are you planning to do? Didn't you say once he manages to get you, he'll devour you whole right?" the concerned voice made Chaos softened his features. The child clutched tightly on the pirate's shirt with a hidden smile that could barely been seen by anyone.
"It is a risk I must take for the sake of many. And besides, I won't die in such a simple matter. You might as well know that I am half-immortal…" Benn went silent as if he already knew that, Chaos didn't say anything either. There was silence around the place where they run for their lives and the bubble filled scene.
"…Chaos… do you believe in rebirth?" the child's lip twitched hearing that word. Could it be that the man has already noticed?
"…because if ever we die and get reborn, I would like to be a responsible father to you." For a split moment something in both of their minds chimed. They both never said anything about it, right now they have to focus at the rampaging person at their tail.
"Benn put me down before you go left. I'll go straight ahead to lure him. Right now he is after me, don't worry, as long as you use the talisman to restrain his legs and hands I'll be able to return him back to normal. What I need now is for you to trust me Benn. No matter what… don't shoot him or try to get caught. I don't want to lose someone important to me… not anymore." Guilt once again heaved on Benn's chest. That day that he couldn't do anything for his two good friends…
"Alright." He said whilst throwing the shotgun to the ocean as a sign of him going to fulfill his promise.
"I trust you Chaos."
