Slash! Slash!
"Found every clue, even if its insignificant details!"
Every marine was busy looking at every hut as they tried to find every clue they could to pinpoint where the villagers planned to gather. Lieutenant Merv looks at the chaotic subordinates as they rummage to every hut while his gleaming eyes scan every place and stop at the back of the village - the humongous forest!
"Gather some of those who have decent scouting skills and task them to go to the forest!"
"Yes, sir!"
"And call Egor, I want him to lead them and I'll give him some instructions." Looking at the village with a background of a big forest, 'So all of you are there tsk tsk, thinking you might fool me but I know the history of this island better than you ignorant fools!.'
"Stop fooling around and set a campsite here! stop wasting your energy and make a feast as all of you will stay all night to hunt ignorant fools!"
"Yes, sir!"
In the marine ship at the shore, a guest appeared as he stood up face to face with Captain Jiggs who calmly sat and sizing up the man in front of him.
"Where is Drath Fang Pirates!?"
Captain Jiggs just put a piece of torn clothes on the table and blandly said, "You should not waste our time and deal with the current situations."
"Don't teach me what I should do, marine!" the bulky man turns around and with a forceful kick destroys the wooden door as it smashes to pieces, saying in a low voice "Teaching me what to do, dream on!" leaving with a snort.
Captain Jiggs just looks at the fading back of the man as he lifts a wanted poster of the man who just left, with a 45 million bounty in his head - Winged Jaw.
Reading the wanted poster makes his eyes dangerously gleam in the lampshade's light.
Splash! Splash!
Seeing her round stone get thrown farther away than her friends makes her jump in joy "Hahaha I won!"
"Jas, really has a talent for throwing things!"
"Yeah, let's change the game this time."
Right now, the kids are playing near the peaceful pond in the underground space underneath the Forest. The evacuation site got crowded, as the villagers arrived one by one.
Seeing this makes Jas think about her grandma 'Mom, where are you?'
"Waaahhh! the ill cat is here!" Jas turned her head to see her friend pointed at the black cat whose busy licking its paw but interrupted as a stone whoosh in its position.
"What are you doing!" Jas tries to scold them as she sees the cat agilely dodge the thrown stone.
"What!? a black cat is the representation of misfortune!" the kid who throws the stone argues back while picking some random stone and this time some of his friends also pick a nearby stone.
"Stop, the cat did nothing wrong!" Jas blocks them with her body as she stretches her arms wide, trying to cover the cat wholly.
"Jas, stepped aside!"
"That cat must be the culprit of why we are always in the hide!"
"Yeah! And also that Pate too!"
"T'-this!? How could you say that to Pate!?" Jas tears up as she remembers what her grandma said when she found about the tattoo 'You better distance yourself to Pate! Understand!?'
"Pate did nothing wrong! He is a victim too, I know you know it too. What will you do when that happens to you huh!? what would you feel when everyone is calling you a misfortune kid! a-all of you are bad!" Jas sobs as she tries to wipe her eyes, but it still gushes with tears "All of you didn't think what Pate is feeling right now after what he experiences."
"Jas, we're not friends anymore!"
"Me too! I can't see you as a friend anymore!"
The black cat just looks at them silently and after a while walks away without caring about them, unknowingly the black cat looks at the rock ceiling with many roots penetrate just to deliver the pure raindrops to the pond.
Everyone didn't notice that in the reflection of the eyes of the black cat, a silhouette of a young man is protecting the undersea with his monstrous strength and size as a - Guardian Forest and the villain, none other than but a human with powerful strength.
Fighting the wicked humans at the bottom of the sea is an enormous advantage to him, as he reaped many human lives. As for the evidence, it will be found in every part of the forest in which you will see every skeleton or body parts that rolled in a green vine.
Covered in green algae and mucus speeding the decomposition of their body than in the land. Every rib and skull was made to a vacation home like a coral reef of the little generation of the fishwheels.
While burying another bunch of human corpses as trophies in a one-sided battle they had earlier, thinking, 'What are they thinking? Sending their subordinates to graves?'
Underneath him, a surging domineering thought gushes out, making the undersea send powerful waves of shocks that alert every water monster in this area.
"Little Shrubs, my time has come. Beware, they will come in batches as they try to get a piece of my body and strengthen themselves."
"Ancestors! What do you mean!?"
"Depend this sanctuary with your life. I know you are not fighting for the favor you owe me, but you fight harder because this place has become your home, that's why -"
"I'll give you everything I possess, as I once was a member of the Sea God Legion of ancient weapon Poseidon, but now it would become yours, Accept - my life!"
Pate wants to stop his benefactor, but space holds him still as a powerful rippling power slips through his very core and makes him faint in pain.
But this time unbeknownst to everyone, destiny turns to be hard sometimes as two different powers were sandwiching the villagers when the Winged Jaw Pirates dock at the backshore of the island.
And with an eagerness to slaughter every pirate jump out with murderous vibes seeping out to their surroundings as they were led by the grizzly Torres who growls in the direction of the forest.
The growls were converted to a terrifying growl of a beast as it travels in the forest making the atmosphere eerie.
Torres, with a four meters height and like a grizzly bear body shouted to the excited pirates "Captain just flew to the hypocrite marines to settle some things and he permits us to satisfy our thirst! So go and hunt them and if you see marines - kill them too!"
"GRAAAHHHHH!" "WOAHHHHH!" "YYYEEAAAHHHH!"
"You guys, leave me a beautiful girl to f*ck!"
"Let me kill as I desire!"
"What is the feeling of torturing a marine!? Hahaha"
They rush into the forest as they are excited to take action because a week of inactions makes them a pack of bloodthirsty hyenas craving for a piece of meat.
