Chereads / GINKEN: Sea Storm / Chapter 266 - The Owl in the Dust

Chapter 266 - The Owl in the Dust

Timothy and his crew arrived at La Cadena de Narón. An island where Chiaki's supposed to be executed. La Cadena de Narón consists of five different vicinities.

One's the underwater station where the railway ends and stops the train from proceeding. It's the area where the foremost agents brought Chiaki. It leads into an underground tunnel that connects the massive stairs.

Two's the mainland, or in other words, the city. It's where people used to live until the world government decided to relocate everyone to La Isleta Cortada.

Three's the main office area, slightly lifted into the air and supported by four chains to not fall apart. To reach the top of town, people must ascend the stairwell that leads inside a waterfall, pouring down from the chained island's bottom.

Four's the caved tower with looping stairwells. Tower has only one entrance and one exit that leads to the bridge that connects La Cadena de Narón.

Five's the main execution site, known as the Forbidden Chain, where the world government tosses dangerous villains into the forbidden realm. But to reach the Forbidden Chain, one must journey throughout the entire area and pass three different gates. From shore up to La Cadena de Narón and the Forbidden Chain.

Timothy and his friends' borrowed ship sailed at the front of the La Cadena de Narón's shore. Kyora sharpened her view by blocking the sun's rays from blinding her.

"Hate to break it to you guys, but it doesn't look like we're alone." It drew others' attention, and they stepped next to her.

"What?" Ayuka grabbed a telescope and used it to look in the distance. She spotted an ongoing battle between the authorities and a group of individuals. "No way." Ayuka lowered the scope and smiled.

Yumiko gasped in amazement and grabbed her cheeks. "It's Kizu, Trap, and Bow! Even Oriyana and her sidekicks, Rika and Tinna." Yumiko added, followed by Kou's surprise. "Kira, Bruno, and Luca, they are here as well? I don't believe it."

Timothy's friends couldn't believe their eyes. "I don't recognize that girl, though," Kou added, seeing an orange-haired woman standing in a staredown against the authorities. "She looks like she's on our side."

Timothy opened his palm, looked at it, and shaped a fire. "Phoebe, Kizu, Trap, Bow, Oriyana, and her sidekicks. They came to help us. But I don't understand how they got here before us. Anyway, we should be grateful they came. If La Cadena de Narón is so dangerous, their aid in battle will surely come in handy." Timothy stood up on top of the crow's nest and looked down at his crew.

"Everyone!" They turned, looked at him, and listened. "Make sure to help them out! I'm going on ahead!"

Ayuka's eyes popped out of their sockets in shock. "And how do you plan on doing that?!" She asked, keeping his hands on her hips.

Timothy vaulted over the crow's nest and dropped down to the deck and on the opposite corner of everyone else.

He crouched, bent his knees, and placed his palm on the base. He received strange looks. Then, orange flames began spurting out from his feet and palm.

"Tim, wait! Don't be stupid and rush in there without a plan. You managed to contain yourself, so do it again, please." Begged Ayuka, trying to remain calm.

Timothy looked at her and bounced his head, turning his face solemn. "Oh, I'm not rushing in there without a plan. But some of my power returned. I'm going to launch myself further and skip these gates. At least one of us should get a head start. Trust me, Ayuka. I'm not gonna rush in without a thought." Ayuka remained silent, having no comment or response.

"As I said. Make sure to help out. I'm not keeping Chiaki wait for much longer than this." Timothy blasted out the fire and launched himself through the air at high speed.

The flames spiraled on the deck and created a shockwave, creating waves, bouncing the ship around, and even splashing the water around.

In the air, Timothy stretched his arms behind. He flared out another blast of fire to shift his trajectory and used it as a boost to cover more ground.

He continued blasting out a series of fiery explosions to maneuver through the air more efficiently.

A man laughed, surrounded by the marines. He held a mace in his hand, leaning it on his shoulder. "You're so pitiful, pirate. I expected you to follow your "Sea Wolves" captain. But in the end, you came to La Cadena de Narón on your own with some random individuals." He explained, keeping his deep voice.

"We're only here to keep you busy and give Tim enough time to help our forces," Phoebe explained, holding her repaired ropes. "What? Do you honestly believe the fire kid made it through the storm? Come on, in such salty waters, he most likely drowned. You must be crazy if you think your friend would fall from the skies like some kind of god. I'm going to destroy you and show you how inferior to the global government you pirates are!"

He pointed his finger in front. "Now, soldiers. Take her out!" The marines stepped forward and locked their rifles on Phoebe.

Suddenly, the man noticed a spark in the air. "What the hell's that?" He wondered, spotting the spark spreading out into a massive cloud of fire.

He sharpened his view into the air and noticed the unthinkable. "Back away, troops!!!" He commanded, shouting out loud. Timothy's right fist rapidly flared out orange flames that burnt brightly in front of the sun. "Pyro-Grand Smash!" Timothy shouted, speeding down to the ground at incredible speed.

He spewed out flames from his feet and increased the power. He neared the ground at amazing speed and finally punched his fist forward.

He slammed his fist into the ground, and the force of the contact unleashed a massive landslide of fire that piled onto the soldiers and swept through the street.

The ground shook, and the pavement split into bits as the shockwave ripped through the nearby structures, destroying them.

The soldiers got bombarded from a great distance while the man protected his body from the fire. After flying through the whirlwind, the soldiers dropped to the earth at various corners.

The fire wave passed the man as Timothy crouched, lowered his right arm, and grabbed the top of his wrist. His right hand charged up blue electricity.

He channeled electricity throughout his whole body and zipped forward at a higher speed. He neared the man and pressed his palm onto his chest, zapping his body and making him scream in pain.

The man's electrocuted body became immobile while Timothy's electricity sparked out of existence. Instead, he enveloped his hand with fire and burst it into the man's chest. It had enough force to blast him into the distance, scorching his skin.

Timothy straightened and looked behind him. Phoebe's mouth quickly sniggered as a bunch of soldiers from Harventona Park came running behind Phoebe.

"Well... this is an unexpected way to meet again, Timothy. But I'm glad you're okay."
