Chapter 4 - CHAPTER4

(Johnnie crashes to a nearby table.)

MARINE OFFICERS

Master Johnnie, are you alright?

(Johnnie gets up.)

JOHNNIE

That hurts. 

(His face is somehow swollen from that kick.)

JOHNNIE

My handsome face. That Red hair will surely pay for what he has done! Hey, Red hair.

RYUJIN

…!

JOHNNIE

You do not know who you're messing with. My father is the commander of the marines. Once I report to him what you've done he'll surely decapitate your head. Mark my words Red hair!

(He gets up and leaves.)

RYUJIN

What's he talking about?

OLIVIA

That's Johnnie Morgens. He's the son of Henry Morgens who's the commander.

TENDA

You mean Iron Axe Morgens?!

RYUJIN

Who's that?

TENDA

He's one of the ruthless marine commanders in the whole of the East sea. Rumors have it that his Iron axe can decapitate over 100 pirates' heads.

RYUJIN

So he's that strong.

TENDA

Of course, he's strong.

OLIVIA

He's also holding a swordswoman captive.

RYUJIN

Why?

OLIVIA

The swordswoman was also trying to defend us from Morgens but she got arrested.

RYUJIN

She must be a good person to be defending you. Let's go Tenda.

TENDA

Eh… where are we going?

RYUJIN

To the marine base.

(The two arrive at a marine fortress.)

RYUJIN

They painted the walls blue.

TENDA

That's to represent the sea I think.

RYUJIN

You're smart Tenda.

TENDA

Ehehehe!

(Ryujin starts to climb.)

TENDA

What are you doing?

RYUJIN

Climbing. What the hell do you think I was doing? Going to the gate?

TENDA

Oh right.

RYUJIN

Geez Tenda. Even though you say smart stuff, you also act dumb.

(That hits Tenda's heart heavily.)

 

(The two reach to the top. In front of them is an execution ground where they find a brown haired woman being chained to a wooden pole.)

RYUJIN

Could that be the swordswoman?

TENDA

Yeah. I know her.

RYUJIN

You do?

TENDA

Her name is Skye Alderman. She has been hunting pirates and collecting their bounties. She's a bounty hunter.

RYUJIN

So she must be that strong.

(A girl passes and heads to where the woman is.)

TENDA

That girl was from the restaurant.

RYUJIN

Does she know that swordswoman?

(She gives the swordswoman some dumplings.)

GIRL

Here, have some. I know that you've not eaten.

SKYE

I appreciate your kindness but I can't…

(There's a gunshot in the air.)

JOHNNIE

Look who do we have here? A girl giving a criminal some dumplings. Do you know that's a crime, girl? Do you wanna be arrested?

(He throws the dumplings to the ground and steps on it. The girl cries and runs away.)

SKYE

You?! Why did you do that?

JOHNNIE

Are you that hungry, Skye? 

SKYE

I'm only left with 3 days. And when I get out of here… your head shall be mine.

JOHNNIE

Talk all you want Skye. But Lady luck is on my side. Hahahahahaha!

(He leaves as he shoots in the air. Ryujin heads down to where Skye is.)

SKYE

What do you want?

RYUJIN

I like you. So join my crew.

SKYE

Who are you?

RYUJIN

I'm Ryujin Nemesis. And I'm telling you to join my crew.

SKYE

I'm not going to be a pirate.
