Chapter 04: Alicia and Prim.
-City of Feoh, (Roof) -
In human territory, two Dark Elves are hidden from the view of the humans of this city and the mercenaries and monsters that attacked this city.
"Chloe… how… is everything going…?" Asked Olga who was leaning on that roof, her fatigue prevented her from moving a lot.
Standing guard in front of Olga was her faithful assistant Chloe, who with a knife in hand was ready to face whatever it was.
"I've lost sight of him a long time ago," Chloe replied. "But if you look in a certain direction you will see how occasionally there are mercenaries or monsters that are sent flying." Said the Half-Dark Elf with a smile.
That meant that Luffy was fine and that he continued to defeat everything in his path and at the same time denying pleasure to the scum.
Hearing how everything was progressing well the tired Queen of the Dark Elves could smile.
In the end, the person she had pinned her hopes on was responding excellently.
However, it turned out that while the point where they were was relatively safe in a city under attack that place could turn out not to be so safe as to make them go unnoticed throughout the conflict.
"Oh? But look what we found here." A male voice could be heard. "And I was already saying that I felt a familiar scent."
Chloe, hearing that voice, fixed her attention on two small figures that climbed to the roof from the streets.
Those creatures were without anything covering their bodies which were red in color with pointed ears and bright yellow eyes.
Those two creatures were demons.
Monsters that were formerly serving the Country of the Dark Elves under Olga's command.
With enough effort, Olga managed to sit on that roof. So she could give those traitors a look with her beautiful amber eyes ... Olga's look told them that she thought they were trash.
"What are they doing here? Did they manage to escape after Vault captured them?" Demon number two smiled.
"Look at the pathetic state of that Queen." Demon number one said with a mocking tone. "Who would follow someone so weak?"
Yes, now that that magic power that had finished them in an instant was very weak there was nothing to fear for them.
"Shut up! If you dare to insult Olga-sama one more time I will kill you both, traitors!" Said an angry Chloe who stood guard with her knife ready to kill traitors.
"Alright then we're going to immobilize them first and then we'll make them ours!" Demon number one said with great encouragement.
"We are going to rape them!" And with that said in unison the demons rushed towards the Dark Elves.
Chloe reacted quickly and stabbed her knife in the eye of the demon that went towards her which was an instant death.
The demons might have underestimated her for having been captured on that occasion, but that was to the surprise betrayal of the Ogres, beings who were physically more powerful than them and greater in number.
So against creatures like them, Chloe had nothing to fear.
Unfortunately for Chloe even if hers took a few seconds it was more than enough for the other demon to get closer to Olga.
But sensing the danger the Queen of the Dark Elves decided that she couldn't just stand there waiting for that dirty demon to touch her body, so even if it was useless she decided to attack.
"Mera!" It was the answer of Olga who declared the name of her spell and pointed her scepter towards the demon that was going towards her.
Not even she expected something to say the name of that spell just by reflex.
That is why when a small ball of fire was launched from the tip of her scepter, it was unexpected for everyone.
"Aahh! It burns!" The demon who covered her face with his eyes shouted in pain when he was hit in the face by that small ball of fire.
While those flames weren't powerful enough to kill, they still did damage.
But the demon couldn't complain more about the damage caused by the fire because Chloe took the opportunity to drive her knife into the back of her skull.
"Agh…" Was the moan the demon let out before falling to the ground lifeless?
As Chloe had killed him, she no longer saw him as something worthy of her attention right now all her attention was on her Queen, whom Chloe was looking at with an expression of great surprise.
"Olga-sama? Was that it?" The Dark Elf Half asked who had a smile of genuine happiness.
"I shouldn't have been able..." Muttered the Queen of the Dark Elves who looked in amazement at her own hands. "By this point, I would not have been able to use magic." The use of Mera was a desperate attempt waiting for what miracle she could use magic again.
And said miracle did happen.
Such a fact-filled Olga with happiness, even though it was something as minuscule as being able to use more than one spell on the same day. For her, that right now was something she was happy about even though at the height of her powers she would have thought that someone who was happy to be able to use two spells in the same day was pathetic.
"But what a shame. If I had used a Merami, I could have killed him." Olga said to herself, She instinctively looked for a basic and weak spell feeling that in her state it was the best she could use.
But even so, on her face was a smile of true happiness since a long time ago she could use two spells in the same day, even though one of those spells was the most basic.
For her.
And finally with that Olga Discordia finally became unconscious from using magic. But unlike the other times, she ended up frustrated ... now she ended up unconscious with a big smile on her sleeping face.
"Maybe things are really going to be better." A Chloe who stood guard while Olga slept soundly muttered to herself.
But even if she didn't want to think about it, it was just too weird that her Queen's magical powers had improved just when that boy named Luffy appeared in her life and saved her.
"If that human really is the reason why Olga-sama was able to advance a bit with her magic, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have him around." And with that Chloe implied that it was possible for her to accept Luffy.
The heart of the Half-Dark Elf began to consider the possibility of Luffy as more than just an ally who was born out of sheer convenience.
After all, one of Luffy's abilities was to turn others into his allies even if at the beginning the relationship was one where not all started friendly really the most dangerous skill of all.
-Streets of the City of Feoh-
Meanwhile, in one of the many streets of Feoh, we can see how two mercenaries have cornered two people who failed to reach the Church.
Those people are a little blond boy around ten years old dressed in villager's clothes and his nineteen-year-old older sister who was a blue-eyed blond girl with long hair and a good body.
These two people had the walls of a house surrounding them and preventing them from moving since in front of them were two mercenaries.
At least the younger brother tried to protect her sister from her by standing in front of her, even though he was only a child and had no weapons.
"Hehehe! Nothing can stop us!" One of the mercenaries laughed when he saw what was a clear victory that was about to be official in the absence of the surrender of the Warrior Princess who commanded the forces that were resisting them.
After that the doors of the Church would be opened and they could enjoy Feoh's women.
But that didn't mean they couldn't have a little fun before then.
"L-Leave my sister alone!" Shouted the little boy who was trying to appear strong before the mercenaries.
"Ahhh? And who do you think you are to talk to us like that brat?" Mercenary number one asked.
"N-No! You have to run away! They will kill you!" On her side, her sister was imploring her little brother to leave her
But he couldn't just abandon her since since her parents died it had always been just the two of them.
"Who is going to help them? Can't you see that the forces of this city are being eliminated?" Mercenary number two said cruelly, who was about to draw his sword to kill that child so that he could rape that child's older sister without problems.
However, on his question of who was going to help that younger brother he wished to protect the older sister from him.
"Gum Gum Jet Pistol!" And in response, a voice could be heard.
With that one of the mercenaries felt an immense pain on his cheek before being sent to fly.
"Gaaah!" Shouting was the only action that the mercenary could do.
"What was that?!" The remaining mercenary asked very confused.
And in response out of nowhere, a boy appeared right in front of him, actually, that boy moved at great speed but to the mercenary it seemed that this boy had appeared out of nowhere.
That boy had a straw hat.
"Ahhhh!" Shouted the mercenary number that was left when he realized that the boy was in the city.
That boy that Vault warned them that they should be extremely careful when dealing with him in the event that he appeared but that according to him that boy should not appear when he was in Olga Discordia's territory.
But that scream of fear was the only action that guy could take even a second later being knocked out by a fist to the stomach, a fist that was moving so fast that it was impossible for everyone else to see.
And just like that, two Black Dogs mercenaries fell in a matter of seconds. Now only Luffy and the two brothers were present on this street.
While the older sister was intimidated by Luffy in the younger brother's case.
"T-Thank you very much..." The blond-haired boy said shyly to his savior.
Even if his reddish skin that expelled steam was truly intimidating for that little boy that didn't matter since that boy in the straw hat had saved him and his sister as well.
"Don't worry, I'm going to give those guys what they deserve." Said Luffy who again ran away in the blink of an eye due to the speed granted by his Second Gear.
Thus, in this city under attack, those brothers stayed on an empty street after being saved from a critical situation.
"Really, we may be saved." the older sister muttered to herself who could barely contain her tears of happiness at the thought.
"Straw Hat was incredible!" That blond boy said with stars in his eyes when he saw how with great ease that boy had saved them.
In his heart, the image of a hero had been formed for that blond boy.
And thus creating an impact on people with just the presence of him Luffy continued his way in search of Vault.
Although Luffy did not know anything about this city or where each route led to him, he simply followed his instincts as he defeated everything in his path with a blow.
Knowing his luck, he could get to the right place if he continued to trust his instinct to guide him to where his opponent was as well as to guide him where another person who needed him was.
-With Alicia Arcturus, (In Front of the Church) -
And elsewhere a pretty pretty girl wielding a sword was in a very bad situation.
That beautiful blonde-haired girl was the Warrior Princess named Alicia Arcturus, who is also known as the 'Warrior Princess of Iris'. In addition, Alicia was also a cousin of another of the Warrior Princesses called Prim Fiorire of whom Alicia acted as Prim's personal bodyguard when she did not have combat skills.
Not only that but Alicia was one of the most coveted girls in Feoh, however, she had made it clear that she was more focused on her duties than on things like romance. After all, Eostia was still in conflict with the forces of the Dark Elf Queen.
When the attack on Feoh began, the first thing Alicia did was express her anger and frustration at the betrayal of the Kuroinu mercenaries. Along with the disbelief that they found the weakened part of the city wall.
However, she quickly recovered and immediately commanded the civilians to hide in the great Church while she and the Feoh defense forces tried to repel the attack.
At least she hoped Prim was safe the place where her younger sister (Even if she was a cousin to Alicia that didn't matter since for her Prim was her younger sister) had been hidden was one that very few people knew, only Alicia and a select group of trusted people.
For if she ended up losing, she at least could be reassured if Prim managed to stay safe.
And so Alicia threw herself into battle and showed why she deserved her fame.
Alicia had fought hard and had managed to stay relatively well, she with her skills with the sword and her speed managed to defeat whoever came on top of her and avoid being hurt.
But the whole term took a turn for the worse when she went to the front of the Church to check if everything was going well only to find a terrible scene.
There was a group of Ogres, some little demons, and finally six nuns.
Those kind nuns who always smiled kindly and were admired by children… now they were in a very bad situation.
A group of Ogres had in front of them some tables where the nuns had been tied and in front of them a group of demons that were clearly ready to take the purity of said nuns.
"P-Princess..." A nun with short blonde hair said clearly scared.
Fortunately, they still had their clothes ... but the demons clearly said that they were going to take them off to rape them.
"Heh, everything is going according to that guy's plan." Thought with a big smile the biggest demon of all who also carried a sword which indicated him as a leader.
While he and his loved ones simply wanted to start undressing those nuns 'that man' made it clear that everything had to go according to his plan.
The demon leader was curious because of the change in attitude since after Olga Discordia's capture one would be more relaxed with his plans but hey, things were like that.
Apparently, those who were not mercenaries were not informed of the defeat at the hands of Luffy.
"Although you know, since we are not totally heartless we could reach an agreement." The Demon Leader smiled. "If you give up and are willing to take the place of those nuns then we could let them go free."
"Please princess don't do it!" I begged the nun with black hair and glasses who knew that if that happened it would be the end for Feoh.
But in the end, Alicia just couldn't let them be raped.
"I understand..." And finally, Alicia gave her answer with a lot of resignation. "But just promise me that you won't do anything to Prim."
The Demon Leader gave a smile as he got what he was looking for. The Plan was almost complete with this.
"Of course, we promise." Said the Demon Leader, although perhaps relying on the words of those associated with the Black Dogs was a bad idea.
"N-no…" Said the short blonde-haired nun upon hearing that. She knew that now a real nightmare was coming for the women of this city.
All because Alicia's nobility and desire to protect prevented her from sacrificing those nuns which the enemy seemed to know since they gave her the option to surrender and save them instead of simply raping them.
"Wonderful! It is because of that nobility that prevents you from sacrificing others that my hopes were pinned on this plan!" And there a voice belonging to an older man that Alicia knew very well resounded in front of the Church.
And coming from one of the multiple routes that led to the Church that was in the exact center of the city a person appeared, an elderly man.
"Beasley!" Alicia said in panic when she saw that the oldest Minister of Feoh was there since for her Beasley was still that Minister who cared about Feoh and who always helped her manage the city well.
Although what he said Alicia believed that she did not hear well.
"What are you doing here?!" She said with concern. "It's too dangerous!" Since Beasley was a Minister, not someone who could fight.
If he stayed out in the open, no doubt some mercenary or monster would kill him.
"You still don't understand? You must be a woman with a lot of trust in others." Beasley sighed when he saw that Alicia did not understand what was happening despite being obvious. "But I guess it's things like that that make you so desirable." He said the old man with a smile.
Alicia couldn't help but feel a chill at that smile for some reason that smile was very different from the smiles that Beasley always gave.
"You are so naive." One of the demons scoffed. "Why do you think he is so trusting and why has no one attacked him?" The demon asked with a smile to see Alicia's face when she knew the truth.
Alicia knew the truth after thinking about those words.
"Besley... you..." Alicia said looking at Beasley with a look that showed that she could not believe that betrayal since Beasley had been like a father figure to her by always being there.
"That's right, I am an ally of the Black Dogs and I was also the one who told them about the weak point in the city walls." He said with pride in his voice. "I bet everything on this plan and it was definitely the right thing to do." Since Alicia, he had given up.
"Beasley… How could you?" An Alice asked whose voice indicated how affected she felt by this betrayal on the part of a man she thought of as a father figure.
However, sometimes it was better not to ask those kinds of questions as the answers could be quite devastating.
"Since your parents died, it was my responsibility to see that you grew up well and that you were a strong woman." Beasley began to explain without any guilt or remorse.
Alicia only listened wanting to know why someone who was respected by everyone in Feoh would become a traitor.
"So for years I saw how you grew I saw how that little body of yours became so beautiful and developed." Said Beasley who was looking at Alicia in a perverted way. "But since it would have been impossible for me to make you my wife I decided it was better to take you by force."
"T-That's why you allied yourself with the Vault mercenaries?!" She said with a fury and disgust that was palpable before the traitor for a father figure to clearly say that he planned to take over one's body, it must certainly be a disgusting feeling.
It was admirable that she managed to at least maintain enough composure not to burst into tears over the catastrophic situation.
"It was the best chance of all and because of how Feoh is losing and with you declaring surrender I must say it ended up being worth it," Beasley said. Of course, if this didn't work he would be undoubtedly stripped of his wealth and status but since this worked he would keep it all together with Alicia.
"Truly this was easier than I thought." There was the voice belonging to another man approaching.
Said the man who was walking towards the Church was the Vault himself who participated directly in the attack on Feoh. After his last failure, Vault wanted to ensure an outright victory.
But the most remarkable thing was the girl who was walking in front of him.
"Prim!" A devastated Alicia shouted when she saw how her younger sister was in front of Vaut, who had a sword pointed at the pink-haired girl.
It was clear that if she tried to escape her Vault would hurt her.
"Thank you very much for the information on her Beasley hiding place of hers." Vault smiled. "If you hadn't said it no one would have found it."
Vault was referring to the fact that Beasley was one of the few people who knew where Prim had been hiding thanks to Alice believing that he was a henchman who would help Prim escape if Feoh fell.
"S-Sister..." Said a Prim who had tear traces in her eyes due to the situation.
Since Vault explained to him on the way to the front of the Church that Beasley had betrayed them and that very soon Feoh would be Kuroinu territory plus what would happen to the women of the city.
And what would happen to Alicia.
"N-No…" Alicia whispered when she saw that she herself had condemned Prim by revealing that information about her hiding place to Beasley.
"It is that noble personality for which I decided to attack this city first." A smiling Vault commented. "Knowing her personality I knew it would be easy to force her to surrender just by doing something like that." Said the Leader of the Black Dogs who pointed at the nuns who they were being seen as a piece of meat by the Demons.
Only Vault's order was enough for them to smear those virgin bodies.
"Just remember your promise." Beasley said sternly who didn't like the way Vault was looking at Alicia.
Oh, he didn't care if other men touched Alicia's body or had sex with her (After all the prospect turned him on) but her virginity was definitely his possession, after all, he betrayed this stupid city to get it.
"Don't worry that you can have Alicia's virginity." Vault said to Beasley "But due to the inconvenience I will take Prim's purity." Failing with Olga had left Vault really wanting to have 'fun' with a girl's body.
But as breaking his word would bring problems to his reputation (Being that it would be difficult for people to want to ally with a leader who breaks his promises) Vault had to refrain from taking Alicia who frankly would be more fun to rape than Prim.
A person with that honorable attitude would certainly give her more satisfaction than Prim's innocence.
"No, don't you dare touch Prim!" Alicia yelled with all the hatred towards Vault that she could conjure. "They promised me that if I gave up on her they wouldn't do anything to her!" Said Alice who was pointing at the demons who were simply smiling.
"You really have to be very stupid to believe that any of us would keep our word to her, hahaha!" And so Vault began to laugh. "We had the total advantage and we had no obligation to accept anything, even an idiot would have seen it." The Leader of the Black Dogs smiled cruelly.
Alicia looked at the ground completely embarrassed when she realized that due to the situation, she thought without taking into account the consequences but her desire to save the nuns was such that she made a very drastic decision without considering other possibilities.
"You are very cruel…" muttered a Prim who could hardly contain her tears when she saw how twisted those people could be.
Especially Beasley who always seemed to be an older man who was more concerned with his job as a minister and in the end he turned out to be a horrible man.
"Do it." I command a smiling Vault to those Demons. Seeing those nuns who believed in God so much being raped by creatures like these would undoubtedly lift his spirits completely after the last defeat that left him wanting to taste a woman's body.
Then the Leader of the Black Dogs turned his attention to Beasley.
"By the way, as with all this, I don't think I can bear to take Prim to my base to rape her. Do you have any problem with doing it in front of the church?" Said Vault who was licking his lips for how little he needed to take Prim's virginity.
"Well, I still have no problem with doing it outdoors." Said Beasley who did not see any major concern about the matter, in fact, her smile became even more wicked. "I must admit that doing it in front of a church will be interesting."
"All of you... You are scum without dignity!" Said Alice who was on her knees on the floor with tears flowing from her eyes.
In the end, she couldn't protect anything even though it was her duty even if she couldn't save Prim.
"Well, I was already going crazy waiting!" The demon leader commented that he was about to jump into the body of one of the nuns to begin desecrating it.
However, they made the mistake of all of them staying in the same position while the nuns were with their movements restricted. Clearly, they planned to throw themselves at them at the same time.
Normally they would have stripped them the first time, but Vault's direct orders indicated that he wanted to see everything from start to finish.
Anyway, all the Demons were at a perfect angle so that a single punch from a certain Pirate would defeat them all.
A certain Pirate who had just arrived in front of the Church.
At that moment the five demons were hit by a fist thrown at such high speeds that the spectators did not even see said fist. Since the demons were in a straight line from the angle of whoever threw the fist everything was easier.
"That?!" The first to react was Vault while the others tried to understand what had happened.
After all, it seemed that an invisible force had defeated the demons.
But the answer was given by itself when a figure appeared in front of where the nuns were.
It was Luffy.
"YOUR?!" A Vault shouted that alternated between fury and horror when he saw how that boy appeared who frustrated his plans to have Olga Discordia and her assistant.
"Who is that boy who interrupted our show?!" Yelled an angry Beasley who clearly didn't know what he was up against.
"They were they saved?" Said Alicia with a tone of voice that had a slight hint of hope. The situation had made her lose hope because she could not do anything.
Did the miracle that she desired really end up happening?
Prim and the nuns for their part could not say anything out of surprise, although inside the nuns were quite relieved.
Finally, the ogres who were holding the nuns were looking very scared at Luffy.
Seeing Luffy's body under the effects of Second Gear, the instinct of the Ogres began to shout one thing at them: That man is too dangerous.
And this time they trusted his instincts.
Leaving the huge wooden shields where the nuns were tied on the ground the Ogres ran away as fast as they could.
So there were only two people left in Luffy's path.
"HOW THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?!" Vault shouted when he saw Luffy, It had to be some kind of illusion or someone similar, it was impossible that he had arrived so soon in the city of Feoh in an instant all the mercenary's composure had vanished when he confirmed that it really was that same boy who prevented him from enjoying Olga Discordia's body.
"I found you, Bulk!" Luffy said with a smile on his face as he had found that guy again to finally give him what he deserved.
"It's Vault, damn it!" The Black Dogs of Kuroinu replied angrily who realized something when he replied to our hero. "Now that I think about it, I don't know your name! Who the hell are you?!"
"My name is Luffy!" Finally, the boy in the straw hat revealed his name to Vault. At this point, Second Gear finally stopped working and Luffy returned to normal.
"How can you be here?" Vault asked since that boy should not know that he was planning to attack Feoh, that plan was only among the members of his group.
That boy should still be in Olga Discordia's castle!
"Did he enlist the help of that Queen?!" I mentally shouted a Vault that I deciphered as Luffy had arrived since with Olga's magic it was possible since she could at least use one spell a day.
But that would mean the impossibility for the Queen of the Dark Elves to help save this city full of humans.
"The only thing that matters is that I'm here to kick your ass." Said Luffy that he was serious, something reserved for those who had made him very angry.
While Vault had earned Luffy's scorn before seeing his men attacking innocent people in such a way due to his orders ended up confirming in Luffy's eyes what kind of scum Vault was.
On the part of him, Vault knew that this threat was very real and that this boy could easily meet it with one of those powerful stretching blows.
And Vault was smart enough to know that any confrontation between them would end in his defeat.
So thinking fast Vault used the only real option of his to have a chance.
"Kyaa!" A girl's cry was heard.
Vault had grabbed hers by her arm to her Prim and with another arm of hers put her sword close to her neck The threat was very clear. If Luffy did something, Prim's head would roll on the ground.
"That kind of heroic people wouldn't attack in this situation." Vault himself said to himself as he held his sword close to Prim's neck. Vault was confident that this boy who was saving people would not sacrifice someone else.
However, Luffy only continued to look at Vault neutrally. No one could tell what he was thinking.
But who acted first was neither Vault nor Luffy but Prim.
"H-Hey… do it!" And finally with enough effort to gather the courage it was Prim who spoke. "Attack!"
If Vault was really so scared of that boy it must be for a reason. That's why Prim decided to trust the strength of that Luffy guy, although at this point that was the only thing she could do.
Even if she cost him his life, she would do it so that Vault would be defeated and Alicia would be safe.
"Prim!" A horrified Alicia yelled upon hearing her sister's words as she would be hurt.
"Shut up!" Said a nervous Vault who knew that Prim was his only protection from Luffy.
Luffy just needed to strike faster than Vault could move and for someone like him that was possible.
Now he just needed to find the ideal moment as Luffy could see that his threats to hurt Prim were indeed real. Even setting up Gear Second could be dangerous as the move he would make would make Vault nervous.
Fortunately, Vault was so focused on Luffy that he didn't see how Prim's face was dangerously close to the arm he used to hold her back.
Opportunity Prim seized to bite Vault's arm with all her might.
"Khh!" She was heard from Vault as she felt the pain from Prim's bite, which caused him to leave one side of his body exposed to him.
Luffy saw the opportunity for him!
"Gum Gum Snake Shot!" Shouted Luffy who threw an arm towards Vault. Luffy's arm waved when thrown, which made it resemble the movement of a snake.
With his open hand, he was able to grasp the right side of Vault's body more specifically on one rib.
Unlike many of his techniques that relied on simply hitting or kicking his opponent in one way or another, the Snake Shot was different. Luffy created her in case he needed someone strong enough to withstand his fists to let go of someone due to pain.
It could be seen as a situational technique but Luffy decided to create it knowing that it could be useful his instincts told him so.
And in the end, this instinct ended up hitting the mark by being useful to him at this time.
"GAAHHH!" Vault screamed in pain as he felt Luffy squeeze the right side of his body, specifically on a rib.
The pain of that attack was such that Vault could feel that his rib had been broken, thus the libero immediately to Prim and he ended up on his knees on the ground with no signs of being able to get up soon as he was still very sore.
Prim for her part was on her knees on the ground after that traumatic experience, she did not have the strength to move for now.
That only left Beasley as the only problem and the Traitor Minister was looking very nervous at Luffy.
Beasley was not so foolish to believe that he would get out of this without problems, he knew that without Vault or the monsters, he was defenseless against that boy so strong and with strange powers and an Alice who would surely want revenge.
Of his options, there was only one left.
"H-Hey." Said a nervous Beasley to Luffy who was now looking at him angrily, probably noticing that he was an ally of Vault. "Would you like to work for me? I am an important Minister of this place, I promise you fortune and women."
Luffy just looked at him with cold eyes.
"What do you say? I can make you give a fortune if you join me and bring me Alicia" Beasley said in an attempt to reverse what had suddenly gone from a good situation to a bad one.
However, Luffy was preparing to stretch his fist to knock that old man down.
Luffy was ready to just knock him down with one fist, although someone beat him to it.
SLAP!
The sound of a slap was heard echoing through the place.
Who caused that sound?
It was the hand of a Prim that used all of her strength to deliver that slap.
"Prim..." A surprised Alice murmured when she saw that her sweet and innocent younger sister (although her cousin would be more precise) had slapped someone else.
After all, Prim was a girl who had never hurt anyone, the fact that, unlike the other Warrior Princesses, she didn't know how to fight confirmed it.
"You are a horrible person!" Shouted to Beasley a Prim that had tear trails beginning to form in her eyes.
This was the first time she had done something like that as Prim believed that within her was not the will to hurt someone else. But knowing that Beasley was planning to do horrible things to Alicia, Prim couldn't help but let her emotions take over and cause her to hurt someone else for the first time.
"You are a bitch!" Not being able to bear it anymore, Beasley decided to forget her precarious situation and attack Prim directly.
But before he could put a finger on top of her, Luffy appeared in front of Beasley and got in front of Prim at great speed.
Seeing Luffy there Beasley stopped in his attempted attack, leaving his fist in the air.
Luffy was now in front of Beasley while Prim was safely behind him.
And now that they were face to face with Luffy there was only one thing to give Beasley.
Luffy stretched both of her arms back to gain momentum and then sent them forward.
"Gum Gum Bazooka!" And with that Luffy slammed into Beasley's chest.
The old Traitorous Minister felt in that instant more pain than he had felt in his entire life and blood came out of his mouth. He was sent to fly in a straight line first but with the second he would gain altitude.
However, Luffy did not calculate something that 'something' was the person behind Beasley.
Vault who was still on one knee on the ground was right in front of the path that Beasley would be sent flying.
So not only Besley but also Vault were sent flying outside the walls of the City of Feoh.
"Emergency withdrawal!" Shouted a mercenary who saw his leader flying through the air, he began to run outside the walls at the same time that his screams made the message spread.
With that, all the mercenaries and monsters that were standing immediately escaped through the main gate of the city but at the same time they left the fallen on the ground. Everyone who was defeated by Luffy was left on the ground absolutely exposed for someone to deliver the coup de grace.
"Ah, damn it." Said Luffy who realized his mistake. "Inadvertently I sent Bulk flying."
Luffy had said that he would defeat it directly to Vault and hand it over to Olga and that was what he planned to do except that now by mistake Vault was out of his reach.
But seeing that that guy attacked again even after being defeated once, Luffy had no doubt that Vault would get back on his feet and fight.
The next time Luffy had to make sure to defeat him directly as he had done with enemies like Kuro, Don Krieg, or Arlong. If Luffy didn't do it like that then it wouldn't be a real defeat for that guy.
The City of Feoh had been saved at least, although some damage to the structures and some women who were raped instantly as well as men who tried to protect them could not be avoided at least much was saved compared to the total defeat that had occurred. It happened without Luffy showing up.
And little by little the hope that it was possible to defeat Kuroinu began to sprout in the hearts of the people who began to hear that they had been repelled.
-Ten minutes later-
We found ourselves in front of the doors of the Church which were still closed since Alicia did not think that it was better to let the people out when it was confirmed that all the enemies had left.
Those present were Luffy who was preparing to go to where he had left Olga and Chloe.
But he couldn't do it since around him were the six nuns that he had saved just before the demons took their purities. They were thanking Luffy for saving them.
However, those nuns who served God did not know the irony that they were thanking a D. Since those who had the 'D' in their names were the 'Natural Enemies of God' after all.
Prim and Alicia were also present.
Alicia was talking to her two subordinates about the situation after the attack and to find out what the damage was.
Prim was by Alicia's side since her older sister wanted to have her close to her after what happened even though now there was no danger. Yet seeing Prim close to being killed by Vault activated Alicia's more protective instincts.
But the pink-haired girl's thoughts were focused on a Luffy that she had not stopped looking at since it was all over.
After all, it was Luffy's appearance that prevented everything from ending in a tragedy and that she and Alicia could retain their purities along with many women in Feoh.
"Inform the soldiers to kill the fallen enemies," Alicia said to, two of her bodyguards who nodded.
One thing that could be noticed was that Luffy showed no reaction whatsoever to the 'armor' of Alicia's two bodyguards (armor that left a lot of skin exposed ... and that was, to put it mildly).
In fact, if it were any other man, then there would have been blushes and nosebleeds in Luffy's case (whose sexual desire was null enough not to flinch when he saw Boa Hancock naked) he didn't see anything strange.
"Yes!" They both said in unison and immediately ran to inform the other soldiers.
Now Alicia focused on the nuns who were still around Luffy who didn't look uncomfortable from such attention.
"You, please go to the Church and try to calm the people down," Alicia asked in a kinder tone to the nuns since they were not soldiers.
"A-Alright." Said the nun with black hair and glasses who, like her companions, did not want to separate from Luffy as she felt safe next to the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
After all for those nuns who almost lost their purity the mere presence of Luffy made them feel much more secure even when there was no longer any danger of anything.
"But could you at least tell us your name?" The wavy brown-haired nun asked shyly.
"I am Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy." She officially introduced herself to our hero.
"Thank you very much for saving us Luffy-sama." Said the nun with black hair and glasses with a voice full of reverence towards the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates that seemed like she was speaking to a holy being.
And surely she had appeared at the right time to save the purity of all the nuns and make opponents as superior as the mercenaries and their monsters flee.
The others said similar words of thanks before leaving.
And giving their last thanks to Luffy the nuns went to church to help calm everyone down, especially the children.
With that, the only ones left were Luffy, Alicia, and Prim (who was looking shyly at Luffy from behind Alicia).
So Alicia decided to take action since she was the most capable and approached Luffy while Prim was behind her.
"My name is Alicia Arcturus." Finally, she formally introduced herself to Luffy.
"And I am Prim Fiorire." Now it was Prim's turn who managed to speak without stammering.
"We are both Warrior Princesses of the Alliance of the Seven Shields and those who are in charge of the City of Feoh." Alice continued.
"I really disliked those guys so I would have hit them even if no one said anything to me," Luffy said.
Luffy's attention was focused on Prim who was the one who attracted his attention the most during their fight.
And the pink-haired girl felt Luffy's gaze focusing on her.
"Uh, something wrong?" She asked nervously when she felt Luffy's gaze directed towards her.
"You really are stronger than you seem." A smiling Luffy commented to Prim in a compliment for the great will and courage that she showed despite not being a fighter.
In fact, when he saw her captured and heard that she was a girl who did not have combat powers, Luffy imagined Prim as one of those typical weak girls who began to cry in tense moments.
But after seeing her current in that way even with the danger of dying very close to her it was a pleasant surprise for Luffy who also earned her respect.
"T-Thank you..." Said a blushing Prim. In general, she was no stranger to compliments since many had tried to propose to her before but thanks to Alicia none of that could advance, all the compliments of those people went towards her beauty.
But this was the first time someone had forcibly complimented her. And with that pure smile, Prim knew that this boy was honest with her words in all of her.
"That boy… is he interested in Prim?" Alicia considered that because of how Luffy acted and that she herself interpreted it as a romantic interest in her sister.
Normally she would be against something like that since as Alicia was very close to Prim she would not admit to a man unworthy of being with her like those who loved Prim or because of her status and her money or because of her body.
But seeing how with her great power Luffy had saved them both and managed to make the mercenaries flee. Alicia was not so against her having an interest in Prim.
"Surely you must be tired after that fight." Alicia said with a gentle tone of voice with the boy who saved the purity of her and Prim as well as many more "We are going to take you to our castle."
Well after a good night's sleep, having eaten that great 'breakfast' with Olga and Chloe and finally that battle that wasn't so demanding, Luffy really wasn't too tired, to say the least.
But Luffy reminded someone that if he needed a good place to rest that Queen who was responsible for bringing him to Feoh on time.
"Wait! I still need to go get my two friends!" Luffy said when he saw that Alicia was going to take him to a castle that would make Olga and Chloe stay outside. "Without them, I would never have been able to get here." It was also remarkable the fact Luffy referring to those two as his friends, even Chloe who hadn't shown a very friendly attitude towards him.
"Oh, in that case, we must go for them immediately." Said Prim. "If they are responsible for bringing Luffy-san here then they are just as important in saving Feoh."
"If they are your allies, of course we will help them." Alicia agreed with the resolution in her voice, she was willing to help the savior of the city as much as possible, and her honor commanded her to do so.
Although of course, she had no idea of the identity of Luffy's 'allies' after all, the mere idea that a human was working alongside the Queen of the Dark Elves who was Olga Discordia would cross their mind.
Perhaps Olga should have bothered to inform Luffy a Dark Elf like her wouldn't exactly be welcomed with open arms in human territory.
But whatever happened here, the truth was only one: Luffy had again stopped Vault and his group of mercenaries.
The Black Dog's mercenaries would take a severe blow to his reputation as this defeat became known.
However, his leader was still free and the desire that was the formation of the Empire of Sex was still there even with the defeats that desire would not be extinguished until a total and absolute defeat was given.
Luffy was the only one who possessed the power to end Vault's dreams and break the will of his followers upon seeing his leader be definitively defeated.
The battle between Monkey D. Luffy and Vault along with his subordinates was still active. And it would not end until Luffy defeated the Leader of the Black Dogs for good.
But Vault was still scum and he was as persistent as a cockroach. This would only make his desire to conquer stronger, along with the desire to see Luffy's head cut off from the rest of his body.
AUTHOR'S NOTES:
And well here is another chapter, we are ready to save Alicia and Prim so I think the next chapter will be more transitional before going to help the next Warrior Princess. I think after rescuing each respective one. The girl would come to a transition chapter to calm down and see more interactions with Luffy.
Did everything seem to go well or could there be more?
Also did you like Prim's moment of courage that earned Luffy's respect?
Here I know that Prim is not strong and will not contribute much when it comes to fighting, but at least I wanted to give her a moment to shine to show that she is not only a girl who needs to be rescued and that she cannot do anything herself.
She will have a role outside of the action but just as important in her way.
On the other hand, I think that with Alicia it will be more complicated that is, I see her as a half-tsundere girl and I don't think Luffy even knows how to deal with it, although as always he will manage.
Unfortunately, Vault is still free due to Luffy's miscalculation but at least he is hurt and publicly humiliated but with his will intact from him to fulfill his dream.
As I say, unless the defeat at the hands of Luffy is absolute that guy will not give up on pursuing his ambition but as we have seen, continuing will mean more injuries at the hands of Luffy if these encounters are any indication.
Thank you for supporting this story, I honestly never expected it to be this accepted, it really makes me happy and I hope it continues to please.
See you, my dear readers.
