Chapter 20: The Past Comes To The Present/The Holocaust Revealed

To say that he was nervous was one thing, but for him to say that he was scared was even worse. Why does he feel a haunting aura whenever he is around this man? To actually see him again after he went on his wild rampage so many years ago is really making him feel like he's suffocating. He could literally hear the blood pumping through his veins as he got closer to where his father was. He was even more shocked once they walked into the room to see Ivy smiling from ear to ear as she talked to him.

Her dazzling emerald green eyes lit up in excitement as soon as they landed on Hody. She slowly got up from his father's bedside and walked over to him to give him a reassuring hug and a soft smile.

"Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Hody Jr. asked almost frantically. Hody (His Father) chuckled lightly as Honey came to sit by his side.

"I'm fine; it's all thanks to your old man." Ivy said in a playful manner. Hody Jr. gave a sad smile.

"Thanks old man, I owe you one." Hody Jr. said with a smile.

"You kept your mother safe while I was walking around with my head up my ass; it's more like I owe you a million. You did well, and I'm really proud of you. Do you think you could forgive your old man for his past mistakes?" Hody asked as he sat up from the bed, grunting slightly because of the wound he received while he was protecting Ivy.

"I already did a long time ago." Hody Jr. said with a small smile.

"That's good to hear. Although, that wasn't what I was expecting." Hody said with a small chuckle.

"Now what will we do about this mysterious character named The Holocaust?" Honey asked with a serious face.

"Honestly, I don't know who he is and I don't know why he wants Ivy so badly. Was there anyone you had an altercation with while you were stuck with that Celestial Dragon, Ivy?" Hody asked.

He starred at Ivy with a blank expression as she gave an irritated facial expression. Even Hody Jr. noticed the dark aura around Ivy as she looked as if she was about to dump hot lava on someone's head. Honey broke the silence when she began to laugh at how much Ivy had caught on to some of Hody Jr's ways.

"Well that's an unusual reaction." Honey said as she giggled a little.

"It's the same one she used to do when she was about to kick someone's ass." Hody thought as he felt a bead of sweat roll down his face.

"Well the problem won't be fixed unless you tell me who it is, Ivy. So do you even know who this person is?" Hody asked hesitantly.

"I could never forget that b**** even if my memories were removed. She's Saint Charloss' sister, Shalulia." Ivy said as she felt a vein throb wildly on her temple. (I censored that word since it probably won't show on the site anyway, or will it?)

"I should've known that saving you that day was way too easy and that it was gonna catch up with us in the long run." Hody Jr. said as he chuckled lightly.

"The best thing we can do right now is to just keep her under a close watch. As long as she's in a safe place and she is with at least 2 or more people while she is out and about she'll be fine." Hody said as he looked at Hody Jr.

"You heard that Ivy, that means no more running off on your own. You need someone with you whenever you want to go outside, so don't try any funny business." Hody Jr. said with a glare.

"Yeah, sure, fine, but what are we gonna do about the bubble head who wants me on a silver platter?" Ivy asked Hody with a bored expression. Honey giggled when she noticed that Ivy completely ignored Hody Jr.

"For right now our main priority is to keep you safe, since I already have that fully taken care of, getting her out of the way is easy. The only thing we have to do is get rid of her puppet, which is The Holocaust." Hody said with a serious face.

Out of the blue there was sound of deep laughter. Everyone in the room grew silent and wide eyed as the sound was coming from inside of the room. The first one to spot the source of the laughter was Ivy. There in the far corner of the room sat a Den Den Mushi that was attached to the wall and the microphone was hanging off of the receiver.

"It seems like you have a great plan there Jones, but unfortunately you were right about you being too old to play those same games you played a few years ago. This is the new age of Fishmen and it's obvious that you're not as up to date as you were in the past." The Holocaust said in a mocking tone.

"It seems like I have a few rats in my group. What is it that you want? You didn't just let yourself be noticed to show us how skilled you are, so what is it that you wanna say?" Hody asked as he stood up.

"Haha! Fine then, I'll cut down to the chase. I'm gonna take your sons little human girlfriend so I can get a nice reward for her from Saint Shalulia. Any problems you have with that plan you can take them up with her." The Holocaust said.

"And what makes you think that I'm about to just let you take my daughter-in-law?" Hody asked as his blood red eyes shined with anger.

"You don't have much of a choice considering the fact that you're surrounded right now." The Holocaust said flatly.

Hody chuckled as he pulled out a hand held cannon and shot it at the door, leaving the men who were outside of the door under chunks of rubble. He then grabbed Honey as Hody Jr. did the same to Ivy and ran down a secret tunnel that was hidden behind the wall. Ivy held onto Hody Jr. as he ran not too far behind his father and mother. Soon they all reached the end of the tunnel and what they saw shocked them.

"How have you been, Jones? It's nice to see you again, but unfortunately I have a job to do and you're in my way." The Holocaust said as he stood some feet in front of his men as they blocked Hody and the others.

"You? It can't be possible; you were supposed to be locked away like the rest of your crew. How the hell did you manage to escape?" Hody asked hesitantly as he looked up at a familiar face that smiled down at him in a tainting manner.

"You know this creep?" Ivy asked as she was still being held in Hody Jr's arms.

"It's funny how the past catches up with you in the future, right Hody? It's even funnier that one of my most favorite little disciplines has come to love the things I hate most. For you to become so weak to an insect like a human is damn pathetic, but not every man loses to a soft heart. I guess I'm gonna have to beat some sense into you after all, even though I'm against hurting my own kind, I can't let you tarnish the pride of fishmen." The Holocaust said in rage as he glared at Hody.

"Honey, take Hody and Ivy with you and get them to somewhere safe." Hody said in a serious tone.

"No, I'm staying with you. You're already wounded; I can help you beat them all faster." Honey said as she stood firm in her place behind him.

"Honey, get them to somewhere safe! You're the only one who knows where those tunnels lead to. Don't worry about me; I can handle him on my own." Hody said as he glanced back at her. Honey nodded hesitantly and ran back through the tunnels.

"You better come back alive." Hody Jr. said to his father as he ran after his mother with Ivy still in his arms.

"Now let's get down to business, Arlong!" Hody said as he faced off with his old idol.

I bet that just made few people sh** themselves! I honestly didn't know what to say Arlong was to Hody so I just branded him as his idol. I could've actually said that he was his old mentor but I didn't do that. I hope you all like this chapter and please review. Also, don't forget to tell me if you see any errors. I kinda rushed this in to you guys so I know I might have a few.
