Chapter 11: Protecting those who we care for.
Me: Sorry for the month long wait, school was in the way. Plus I took a short break from writing to get some inspiration. But I'm back and writing again. Now I want to warn you what I had originally plan for this chapter was suiting me. So I change it from the preview a little. But I'm done and hopefully I hope you like it. Now onwards with the Story YA-HA! (I read too much eyesheild 21)
Jack the Ripper's excellent adventure!: Jack and his Namaka are on the wired looking island. However jack is facing down a Gorilla wearing a Hawaii button up shirt and smoking a pipe.
"Allow me to tell you." Mako spoke. "About why Mikashi only trust me and only me, it all started when I came to this island. And found the door, I knew that it was something inside of this mountain. However, we couldn't get in."
Willis raised one of his eyebrows, "the hell, what does that have to do with Mikashi pit bull?"
"I'm getting to that." Said Mako. "We tried everything to get inside the building, we tried blowing it. Set it on fire with our Rum, everything you can think of. However, we couldn't get in."
Willis jaw drop as mako finished his sentence. While pointing at the DF user, Willis stammered, "y-y-you set fire to your Rum, you really are evil!"
"Let me finish the story, then call me evil." Mako said as he cleared his throat. "Anyway, like I said, we couldn't get into the village. So basically we gave up on the whole process of entering." Mako then licked his lips like a menacing dog, "that's when she appeared." Mako finished. Willis then raised his eyebrow again with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Who appeared?" Willis asked.
"Humph, if you want to know, then beat me." as Mako finished his sentence, he got into this fighting stance with both of his fist in front of his face. "Let me warn you, don't take me lightly for my appearances." Willis also gave a quick "humph" before crossing his arms together, "same for me, I'll show you what happen when you piss me off." Willis and Mako stared at each other for a short while, waiting for the other to make the first move. Suddenly, the words "Taju" came from Willis's mouth. About twenty clones appeared around Mako. Still in is stance, Mako stares around with his eyes.
"So…the clone thing again. When will you figure it out that it useless against me?"
From behind two doubles came into the air, shouting "Double straight forward!" charge forward towards Mako as he had his back facing the doubles. "Oh, so it two of them." The pit bull turned around and in quick motion, punched both of the doubles while shouting "Mako Hook!" Punching the double on his left with a left hook, and punching the right with a right hook. The two doubles disappeared like a mirage. Mako then stares at the remaining eighteen doubles and charges towards them. One double ordered two of the doubles standing by him to grab his arms and tossed him forward.
The two grabbed on to him and pulled him back a couple of feet. All three of them shouted, "Furte Slingshot!" and tossed the double towards Mako. While flying in the air the double spun around it leg for a roundhouse kick. Mako keeps running towards the double throwing a Jab punch towards the double. The two clash with each other in a stalemate, with Mako punch stopping the double roundhouse kick.
"This is too easy." Mako said as he grabbed the double leg while it was still in the air. The pit bull spun around with the double leg in his hand before he let go of it. The double flew towards a crow of doubles, hitting them and make them along with it disappear like a mirage. Mako turned around and stared at the remaining clones, "hmm…it about ten of him left to fight. If I can find the original, then the rest will disappear." Mako then raised his paws towards his face and makes the sharp nail come out. "That won't be too hard thanks to my devil fruit."
One of the Willis's spoke. "Come on mutt, show us what you got!"
"Humph, gladly I will."
It was like a wild dog finding his prey, Mako ran towards a bunch a doubles in fast pace speed. As soon as Mako face to face with one of the doubles, he didn't attack. In fact he continued running into the crowd of Willis's at the same fast speed pace. Mako stared at on Willis's and noticed something was different about him. "So….your over there!" Mako licks his lips and charged towards the suspicious looking Willis's. He then launches his claws towards Willis chest, Willis looked as Mako was coming towards him. "Shit, he so fast that I can't react in time!"
Mako claws pieced towards Willis chest. While Mako got the Real Willis, the other doubles disappeared like a mirage. Blood came through the holes that Mako pierced, Willis also spouted out blood from his eating area. Mako then closed his paws and made a tight fist. He shouted, "Mako jab!" and punched Willis in his face. Willis flew into the wall behind him creating a crater behind him.
The pit bull licked his lips as he finished his attack. Shaking his claw so the blood would comes off his claws. Mako then stared up top were most of the villagers were looking down towards the pirates fighting.
"Don't think I forgot about you guys up there." Mako yelled. He then turned to his crewmates. "You guys go up there and finish what we came here to do."
"AYE!" the crew called out. Most of them grabbed their sword and gun that was set around their waist and ran up the balcony towards the villagers. The one called Episu who also acted as the leader of the villager quickly order everyone to run towards the top of the mountain. The pirates chased hem leavening Mako and their enemies behind. "That will teach them to defy me." Mako said to himself. His attention then went towards Willis who by surprise was standing up. He was holding his chest while breathing heavy. The damage that Mako gave to him seems to greatly affect him.
"Damn….so …this is real combat?" Willis thought. "But, how did he find me?
"You're probably wondering how I found you." Mako spoke.
"Huff….huff….quit reading…my mind." Willis said weakly.
"Humph, well if you haven't noticed by now. I ate an Inu Inu no mi so I have the power of a dog." Mako then pointed towards his nose. "Meaning that I can smell you." Mako then got back into his fighting stance. "You see there is nothing you can do against me. My ambition of domination will be succeeded, and I will take Mikashi with me!"
"Like hell you will!" Willis spoke as he moves his hand from his stomach. "I'm stopping your so-called ambition, and taking Mikashi with me you sea gull!"
"I'm a pit bull you stupid excuse for a pirate!"
The two charge towards each other screaming and shouting their attacks. Willis shouting "Forward barrage!" and Mako dishing out some of his jabs to counter the palm fighting pirate.
-----------------------
Meanwhile
The Villagers made it towards the top of the mountain. Through this secret cave that leads towards the top of the mountain. "Hurry and seal off the cave!" Episu ordered. Two of the villagers pushed the rock that stood next towards the entrance of the cave, sealing the entrance. On the other side the Inu Akuma pirates made their way to the entrance. However, they stop due to the Rock that stood in front of them.
"How we going to in past this Rock?" one pirate spoke.
"If we had some bombs around then we could destroy this Rock."
"Don't we have some back at the ship?"
"Yeah…hey you over there go back and get some bombs for us."
The pirate nodded his head, but as soon as he tuned around he seen someone Standing behind them. "Oh…so you're still alive I see?"
---------------------------------
Back to the mountain.
"Yon!"
Four doubles of Willis appeared lined up around him, making five in all. All of the charge towards Mako, on jump in the air to launch a kick towards Mako. Mako however, blocked the oncoming kick. The other did the same as the first one, lining up behind each other kicking the dog pirate back some. The Real Willis charged towards the pit bull and punches the dog in the face. The Attack however….
"You think that hurt me?"
Didn't work….
"Aww crap…I forgot I can't throw a good punch!"
Mako lifted his leg into the air and kicked Willis into the ground. When the bandanna wearing pirate hit the ground, Mako then kicked him in his stomach and sent him flying a couple of feet. When Willis landed back onto the ground and rolled a couple of feet, he picks himself up back on his feet. "Damn, if I can just land one good hit on him then I'll be able to beat him." Willis looked around at the area for a bit, trying to wonder how he can defeat him. "I can't use the numbers game against him...he'll sniff me out." Willis started to think some more. Trying to cook up an idea.
"Of you not coming to attack, then allow me to attack!" Mako then ran towards Willis and started to throw punches. Willis started to dodge the attacks, still trying to think of an idea. Come on think, how can I disrupt his senses?" Willis then ducked and avoided Mako punches. As he ducked, Willis rolled around behind Mako and wrapped his arms around his waist. He then pick him up and suplex Mako behind while shouting, "Tatsu suplex!" suplexing Mako hitting his head. Willis then let go of the pit bull while the dog was flat on his back.
"Good, he's down; I just got to hide somewhere until I can think of a plan." Willis looked around wondering were to look. His eyes turned towards the restaurant that Mikashi worked at. "Maybe if I hid in there for a while, I can come up with a plan." Willis turned around ready to retreat to the restaurant but he stop. He turned towards the direction were a passed out mikashi laid. He turned around and ran towards her, picks her up, and places her on his back. He ran up the road that went up towards Mikashi restaurant. He kicks the door open and went inside.
Meanwhile Mako opened his eyes and lifted himself up. He looked around to see were the bandana wearing pirate. Not seeing him anyway, he decided to sniff around to track his scent. Once he smelled his scent, he let a grin go pass his face. "I see, so that's were he went." He said to himself. He walked over towards the golden fountain that stood in the center of town and sat himself by the fountain. "Well I better give him his last moments before it over for him."
-------------
In the restaurant.
Mikashi started to slowly open her eyes. Looking at the ceiling fan above her, she wonder were she is at right now. Lifting herself up, she started to get a headache in her head. So she holds on to her head squeezing it a little. "So you're finally awake." A voice spoke. The ponytail girl turned to were the voice was coming from and seen the bandanna wearing pirate looking at her. "Willis, what are you….what happen?" she asked.
"You're so called 'aniki' punch you in the gut and you passed out." Willis said.
Mikashi eyes sadden when Willis told he what happen. "I see…Willis…can you do me a favor?"
"Yeah…what is it?"
"Please, don't fight Mako anymore."
Willis jaw dropped, "what…did you just say?!"
"Look, I know what I'm saying might seem stupid" Mikashi spoke "but please don't fight him anymore."
"Like hell I will!" Willis said. "That stupid seagull getting his ass handed to him (he's a pit bull Willis….) as soon as I figure out how to beat him."
"No please Willis…"
"Look don't worry about me, I'll be fi-"
"It not you I'm worrying about it's him!" Mikashi cutted in.
Willis looked at the cook with a surprise expression on his face. He shakes his head so he could snap back to himself. "Wait did I just hear that?" said Willis. "You mean to tell me that you're more worry about a guy who punched you, took over this village and killed folk for his own personal ambition?" Willis the cocked his eyebrow, "excuse me for saying this, but what the hell is wrong with you?"
Mikashi stood up and walked towards the window. "Look, Willis-kun, it just that I and he have a bond. He was the first person that ever gave me comfort in this sea."
"So….you love him then?" Willis asked, still with a surprise expression on his face.
"As a brother and nothing else." Mikashi said still with her back turned towards Willis. "Willis…did I ever tell you how Mako got into the village?"
Willis started to scratch the back of his head, trying to remember what Mako said. "Well that stupid seagull told me two stories, when he first came to the village and the door just appeared, then he said they couldn't get in, but somehow they got in."
Mikashi then took a deep breath and spoke. "That because I let him into the village…Willis-kun."
"Oh…..it makes sens- WHAT!?!?!" Willis yelled out.
"Those things he told you, some of them were lies so I wouldn't get involved." Mikashi then walked towards Willis. "When he came on this island he couldn't get in. the door had a secret switch that only the villagers knew." Mikashi then sat in a seat and started to explain some more. "That day….I was outside collecting shells for an escargot; however that's when I ran into Mako. Truth be told, I was scared of him." Mikashi then stared upwards, "but he shows me kindness that I've never seen before."
Willis started to moved his hands, "wait, wait, wait. You are talking about the same guy right?" Willis said. "Not only that, why did you betray you village?"
"Willis…" Mikashi spoke. "This village treated me like crap ever since I came here. I may be a nice girl Willis, but if it one thing I hate it's this Village." Mikashi then stood up and walked towards Willis, who was still sitting on the ground. She looked at him with a serious face that Willis didn't see ever since he came here. "That why…" she spoke. "I won't like you fight with Mako anymore." Mika then reached for her back pocket and grab a knife. She then pointed it towards Willis.
Willis looked down at the very sharp knife. He closed his eyes and stood up. "Am already bleeding from my chest, can we stop with the violence?"
"Shut up!" Mikashi spoke. "I already told you what to do, now do it!"
"Even if I did, I don't have a ship. Besides Mikashi, do you think that something like treating me will scare me?"
"I said shut up!" Mikashi spoke. "What do you know about protecting those you care about, and what do you give a damn about me, you're protecting this village but hurting that which I care about? I won't let you hurt Mako!"
Mikashi then held the knife tighter, and pointed it closer towards Willis's neck. Willis closed his eyes and begun to spoke. "You're protecting those who you care for; I may not know that feeling well for I haven't truly protected anybody." Willis then opens his eyes with intense look in them, "but I know damn well what it feel like to lose someone who is protecting you!" Mikashi eyes opened a little after Willis finished his sentence. "Mikashi…you may not know this, but I'm not about to open a can of whoop ass because I feel like it or for this village." Willis then did of the weirdest things after getting so intense…he smiled.
"I'm doing it because I want you to be my Namaka!"
Mikashi grip on the knife loosen a little. "Namaka?" she thought.
"I think I told you that before, I already want you to join my crew." Willis said. "And I was fighting that guy because he owned this Village and it people. Since you was apart of this village. I had to whoop his ass or at least try." Willis then sighed while he shrugs his shoulders. "But, if you really want to be his Namaka, then I can't do anything about it." Willis then started to walk towards the door. "I don't do this, but since I like you so much, I'll try to reason with the stupid seagull."
Mikashi drop the knife and let it fall to the floor. "He…really want me as a Namaka?" Mikashi started to think back to when Willis yelled at the whole village that he was going to take her away from the Village and make her his Namaka. She didn't believe him at the time because everyone she met expects Mako betrayed her in the end. "We...just met today…how can you call me a Namaka?" Mikashi thought. "And why go through all this for me?"Mikashi then bit her bottom lip, an ear rolled down her left eye. "And why I didn't believe a person who care about me this much!?"
Willis made his way towards the door and reach for the door knob. "It a shame…I really want her to join my cre..." Willis thought was interrupted however when a fist bust through the wall and punched him dead in the face. The punch sent him flying past Mikashi and through the wall behind him. The wall was blocking the outside world, Willis was sent through that wall.
"Willis!" Mikashi yelled out. She then turned around to were the fist came from and seen Mako standing from the hole in the wall. "That takes care of the animal confused pirate." Mako spoke. He then turned to Mikashi who was looking at him. He transforms back to his original human form and walk towards mikashi. "You alright?" Mako asked.
"I-I'm fine mako." Mikashi shuddered.
"That's wired…" Mako thought. "She hasn't stuttered to me since we first met." Mako then leaned towards Mikashi, "hey Mikashi, are you alright, hope your not mad about what I said and punching you. You know I had to make things believable…….Mikashi?" Mako noticed that mikashi was staring towards the Wall that the bandanna wearing pirate was sent through. He coked an eyebrow. "Mikashi don't tell me you're worried about that Baka of a pirate."
"B-Baka?" Mikashi said
"Yeah, he kept on saying shit like I'm going to make Mikashi my Namaka and take her away from this mess up village." Mako then chuckled a bit before speaking again. "It funny, I think he was trying to fight me because I told him that you're my Namaka."
Mikashi stood up and ran towards the hole in the wall. She pokes her head out to get a look outside and see if Willis was anywhere around, but she didn't see him. All she seen was the high ground below her. Mikashi started to call out his name to see if she could get a response. "Willis……Willis!" she yelled out. Still she had no answer. Mako stared at mikashi, wondering why she so worried about that Baka of a pirate. "Is she really worried about him?" Mako thought.
Mikashi then called out Willis name a few more times, "Willis….if you can hear me answer me please!" For a while, it was silent. Mikashi eyes sadden as she almost given up on finding him. Then, a voice called out. At first, the voice was low, but then it was getting louder and louder. "MIIIIIKKKKAAAAASSSSHHHHIIIII!" mikashi look around to see were the voice was coming from. When she look down, he face lid with a smile. She seen the bandanna wearing Baka climbing up the mountain at fast pace speed. So fast that he made it back up top to the restaurant before Mikashi could call out his name. Willis jump inside the restaurant and landed back onto the floor.
"Willis, you're alive. How did you survive that fall?!" Mikashi said with happiness in her voice.
"After I got hit and went through that wall, I summon a bunch of doubles to soften my fall." Willis said. The pirate crack his knuckles, "speaking of which, were is that stupid seagull?"
"Pit bull damn it!" Mako yelled out.
Willis turned his head and seen Mako staring at him. "So, you managed to survive. Hope you're ready for me to kick you ass." Mako spoke. Willis almost responded with a negative remark to Mako, but he held himself back because of what he said what he was going to do. "Look…lets talk this out. Much as I hate to do it, but you Namaka don't want me to fight you anymore. Since I like her so much, I'll do what she says."
"Hm…giving up are we?" Mako spoke with a grin on his face.
"Treaty is more I like it. (were did I here that from?)" Willis said.
"Glad that someone with your brain came up with something like that." Mako then licks his lips. "But, I can't let you leave this village alive."
Willis eye widen, "what do you mean…you can't?"
"I rule this village, and you and that white haired swordswoman have broke them, the only choice now….is death!" Mako then transform back to his pit bull form. Willis gave a quick "tch" before getting into his fighting stance. "Sorry mika-chan, but he won't listen for reason. Looks like I got to fight hi-"Willis speech was cut when a figure stood in front of him. The figured held its arms out and stood between Mako and Willis.
"You two, please stop fighting!"
