Chapter 11 - Mercy

Galan was standing over a pirate, who was tied to a chair, not a single part of him untouched by blood. Corpses strewn across the ground as Galan held a pair of hand held shears, he clicked them and put one of the pirates remaining fingers in between the blades as he said "Where is Captain Pilston."

The pirate trembled and shouted "I told you! I don't know!" Galan nodded, "Alright." as he slowly cut the pirate's finger off, the pirate screeching in extreme pain, rattling the chair and chains he was tied up in.

Galan didn't care at all, reaching out and grabbing the pirate's dick, putting it in between the shears as he repeated "Where is he." The Pirate panicked and shouted quickly, "You're crazy! You're the devil! Please don't!"

Galan squeezed and said without emotion, "Tell me where he is." The pirate shouted "He'll kill me!" Galan replied slowly "You die now or later. It doesn't matter. You're not getting out of this room alive. The difference is I torture you until you die, or kill you quickly. You can choose."

As the Shears tightened slightly, the pirate shouted "Wait! Wait! Okay! He runs drugs through this town to the other islands in the West Blue! I only receive a shipment every 2 months! The ship comes and we unload it before they leave! The next shipment is in a week! That's all I know!"

Galan tightened the shears and the Pirate shouted at the top of his lungs, "I swear! I'm telling you the truth! Please god!" Galan paused and asked "You don't have the manpower to move all that cargo, who do you sell it to?" The Pirate swallowed and replied quickly "I always keep a cut of the cargo and redistribute through my underground channels! You know, the traffickers and dealers! My ships only go through 3 islands!"

Galan asked again "Which ones." as the shears moved slowly, the pirate shouted "Oh god! Please stop! I'm telling you! Please don't!" Galan looked at him flatly and he let out a breath, saying "Ruin Island, Topstop Island, and Disco Island! That's all I know! I swear!"

Galan asked "The Traffickers, where do they hunt?" The Pirate shook his head and Galan tightened the shears, saying "Speak." The pirate shouted in pain, saying "I don't know! I only sell to them! They only buy the heavy shit! Probably to kidnap the girls! I don't know where they go! I'm only a distributor! The cargo comes to me and I spread it out! If I knew where they were I would've went to buy more girls!"

Galan frowned and the Pirate shouted quickly "Wait! Wait! I mean! I mean, they put the drugs in the girls and sell them as a special package for an extremely high price! You get a slave and drugs at the same time! I saw 'em do it once! Terrible thing!" Galan frowned and asked "Where?" The Pirate sweat heavily and said "I-I-I-" Galan narrowed his eyes and the Pirate shouted "OKAY! I remember! It was… Uh! What was the place called! Fuck! Crowned Island! The-The one with all the Mountains! We went there for a new deal because the Marines intercepted a shipment! But it wasn't a base! They were just meeting there to arrange a new shipping plan! We traded goods as a gesture of goodwill! That's all I know! I swear! Please let me go!"

Galan snorted and thought about it, asking "That girl you were with, how old was she?" The Pirate froze and cried, screaming "HELP ME! SOMEONE PLEASE!" Galan snorted and snapped the shears shut as the pig screeched, ringing outside of the room and echoing in the empty hallways.

A few minutes later

Galan walked out of the room, wiping his hands as he said "Clean up crew requested, Sector 16- Area R." The snail on his shoulder nodded and replied "Yes, sir." Galan walked out of the building and came to a group of Marines taking care of the girls.

Galan frowned and looked around, there was a girl and a few Marines missing. He closed his eyes and walked away, raising his hand, saying "Stay here."

Galan came to a back alley to see the Marines having their way with one of the girls, but this girl was part of the Pirate's crew, willingly or not, Galan hadn't figured it out yet. But she was struggling and looked like a tough girl as she was being raped.

She grit her teeth and was being held down.

Galan walked over and the Marines looked at him, saluting "Lieutenant-Commander!" Galan didn't say anything, his face flat and unchanging. He looked down at the girl, before pulling out a pistol and scattering her brains all over the ground.

The Marine on top of her froze and looked up to see Galan staring at him. The Marine said "Sir, she was just another scum!" Galan said nothing, his face emotionless as he looked at the other 2 Marines before shooting them both in the face.

He stepped on the Marine on the ground, pressing his face into the brains of the woman before executing him as well.

Galan wiped the brain splatter from his gun and looked at the executed woman on the ground before walking away.

He figured he was doing her a favor before the other 2 could get to her.

Galan returned to the group and a Marine ran over, holding a box with a bunch of snails connected together inside. He held up a snail, saying "Sir! A call for you from Admiral Kong!"

Galan picked up the snail as someone asked "Where's Ben, Tonto, and Gera?" Galan pointed his thumb to the alley, saying "Some piece of shit got to them before we could." The Marines were aghast, running over with their rifles as Galan said "Yeah." to the snail.

The Snail woke up and said "You dickless fuck! Get your ass back to base! I got a new job for you!" Galan replied slowly "I'm not done. I got a lead on Pilston's crew with Slave and Drug rings." Kong shouted "I don't give a fuck about those small time faggots, Soldier! You're needed for a big time war!"

Galan frowned and asked "What happened?" Kong fell silent before saying "Bear's dead." Galan raised his brows, replying "Really." Kong snorted "You can show a bit more emotion for the death of my Mentor, you motherless asshole. He died fighting the Captain of the Rocks Pirates. Looked more like an execution if you ask me. Poor son of a bitch was barely human when we found him."

Galan lit a cigarette as the Marine holding the snail trembled, tearing up. Galan sighed and exhaled a mouthful of smoke, sighing "A real shame. I kinda liked that asshole. What happens now?" Kong laughed in anger, "What happens now?! What happens is every one of those rat fucks get hunted down to the ends of the Earth! I want them shivering in their rat holes eating their own shit to survive!"

Galan blinked flatly, "And then?" the snail grinned "And then, I let you off your fucking leash, you dog. You're free to go buck wild on these motherless fucks. Every single one of 'em. Other two Admirals dropped out of the race and the higher ups are pushing pencils, moving documents. You're due back at Base for the Funeral in 3 months, finish what you gotta do by then otherwise you'll be sucking dick for food when I find you. Clear?"

Galan exhaled smoke from his nose as he replied "Crystal, Fleet Admiral." Kong snorted, "Time to stop hunting rabbits, Rear Admiral. We're fishing for sharks now." before he hung up.

The Marine put away the snail, wiping his eyes as he said "Congratulations, Rear-Admiral!" while sobbing. Galan looked at him and smiled gently, "Don't cry, Drew. Fleet Admiral Bear was a hero. Just like the rest of us." he wiped Drew's tears away, rubbing his head as he added "We still got a job to do."

Drew nodded and ran off as the Marines came back from the alley with low spirits. Galan smiled sadly at them, "Fleet Admiral Bear has passed away. We're due for a Funeral in 3 months. We need to finish up here quickly." The Marines tightened the grips on their guns and nodded, "Yes, sir!"

Galan sighed, "Thanks, boys. Get on the ship, we're going to Ruin Island first." the Marines passed him and went to the ship, bringing along the drugged sex slaves. Galan's smile faded and he exhaled smoke, muttering "Sharks… eh?" as he walked towards the ship, boarding it and sailing away.
