Chapter 14: Chapter 14: War

I was shaken awake by a distressed Hanzo, he looked pale.

" Ugh? What's wrong Hanzo?" I asked.

" Please Law-sama save her." Hanzo exclaimed.

Looking at what he was holding in his arms, I recognized the little girl he had saved from prostitution. `wasn't she in the castle after winning the lottery?`

She seemed unconscious as blood was coming out of her head.

"Alright just place her in the infirmary. I'll be there in a second." I said.

While treating the little girl, I was horrified at what was done to her. It took me 2 hours to patch her up completely, she would live but what was done to her could never be reversed.

Clenching my fist in anger I tried calming myself, who was sick enough to do something of the sort to a child.

Leaving the surgical room, I walked out and was met with a worried Hanzo.

" She'll live, but with how much damage was done to her. It wouldn't surprise me if she decided to take her own life." I said with a sigh.

Hanzo clenched his fists as he was visibly trembling in anger.

"I'll kill them all" Hanzo said coldly.

" Let's wait for her to wake up first." I said.

---------------------

Hanzo was in a bad mood for the rest of the day, he kept walking back and forth in front of the infirmary waiting for the child to regain her consciousness. He wanted to avenge her, and it was understandable, with how much was done to her.

The poor girl was clearly tortured for at least a couple of hours. She had burn marks and brandings that could only be left by hot metal rods covering most of her body. She had whipping scars all over her back and one of her eyes was literally gouged out.

I did all I could with my devil fruit, but even I couldn't cure everything.

*Thud* Hanzo punched the wooden wall leading to the infirmary in frustration.

" Calm down Hanzo, we can't do anything but wait for now. Trust me when I say everyone wants to make whoever did this pay." I said from my laying down position.

" Mn" Bepo nodded.

" You bet we will!" Mikoto exclaimed while leaning on the fence of the deck.

Hanzo hearing us slumped down on the deck and started waiting in silence.

A couple of hours later, *coughing* could be heard in the operating room.

Hanzo quickly opened the room and ran inside as fast as his feet could take him.

The little girl glanced at the open door with clear fear in her eyes.

But once she recognized Hanzo's face she started crying in relief.

" *WAAAAAHH*" Her wails of sorrow could be heard even from outside the room as Hanzo tried his best to calm her down.

"*tsk* I'll be in town if you need me." Mikoto who was clearly worried for the little girl a couple of hours ago exclaimed as he walked out of the ship with his hands in his pocket. I could see him slightly shaking from anger.

It took Hanzo the rest of the day and the whole night to finally calm down the hysteric little girl. Even when she fell asleep she didn't want him out of the room. Fearing for her life if she was left unprotected.

He tried asking her for the culprit, but every time she started thinking about the traumatizing events she would start shaking in shock and utter fear. Unable to speak or utter any words on what happened.

Seeing as she needed to rest and couldn't manage to sleep due to the constant nightmares, I injected her with some sleeping drugs and forcefully put her to sleep.

--------------------------

" Well if she can't tell us who did this to her, we'll just have to find out ourselves." I said calmly with clear anger in my eyes.

" Everyone gather up! We're going to war!" I shouted.

Bepo who was sitting on top of the mast jumped down and landed gracefully near me, while Hanzo restocked his arrow and hoisted his bow.

" Let's go!" I ordered as we all walked out of the ship, Hanzo and Snow on my left side and Bepo on my right.

As we kept walking through the slums, we encountered Mikoto who was leaning against a wall smoking a cigarette.

Seeing us and our serious expression he threw down his cigarette, stomped on it and walked to my right side next to Bepo.

We kept walking at a leisurely pace till we reached the fort.

" Huh? You guys haven't left yet?" A guard asked.

Only to be met by an arrow straight to the forehead courtesy of Hanzo.

" Huh?" The second guard who just saw his compatriot die in less than a second. Exclaimed stupidly.

But that was already too late for him as Bepo jumped in front of him. And delivered an electrified punch straight to his unarmoured face.

Two more guards came running out of the fort as they heard the commotion.

Mikoto quickly rushed to the first one, dodging an overhead sword slash and punched the guard directly on the nose.

*Crunch*

A sickening crunch was heard as the guards nose broke under his fist. Not stopping there, Mikoto spun around and kicked the guards face knocking him out in the process.

The 4th guard came running in my direction expecting to take me by surprise as I still hadn't unsheathed my sword.

[Room]

The usual blue transparent room extended from my palm and easily covered the whole castle.

Ducking under the sword slash the guard threw at me, I extended my right hand and struck him chest.

[Mes]

*plop*

The guards heart popped out of his body. As he looked in complete shock and horror at his at the empty cube in his chest.

[Shambles]

I quickly teleported the guards heart in my hand.

" Now tell me? Which one of you tortured Mika?" I asked while squeezing the guards heart lightly.

The guard immediately squealed like a pig, and started telling me everything in detail.

The king of this country apparently had sadistic tendencies. He enjoyed torturing people more than anything. So he first decided to start starving his whole population, enjoying seeing them die from hunger.

But after a while that wasn't enough, none of his citizens had any of that spark in their eyes. They all had lost hope. So he created the lottery game, promising fortune and a good life to anyone who managed to win.

Hope was regained in his citizens eyes, and nothing was better for him than destroying someone who had managed to win the lottery. As they felt that their hardship was finally over. He would crush them completely and bath in their hopeless tears.

Having heard enough I crushed the guards heart in anger. Killing him instantly.

Unsheathing my sword form it's scabbard.

[Amputate]

I slashed my sword diagonally in front of me, splitting the whole fort in half, and the terrain around it.

[Takt]

I pointed my finger to the sky, making the top cut float upwards. Twisting my hand to face the ground, the floating structure followed my command as it flipped itself and was now facing the ground.

The screams of the people that were still on the ground could be heard as well as the scream of soldiers that were holding on for dear life to the floating fort.

Slamming my open palm on the ground, the giant floating castle followed and was forcefully slammed on the ground. Killing thousands upon thousands of soldiers under its debris.

*huph* I was already breathing heavily, I really need to work on my stamina.

"I'll leave the rest to you guys." I said with a smile.

My whole crew looked at me with a 'really!' look on their faces.

*tsk* Mikoto exclaimed before he started walking on the castle debris looking for any survivors to kill.

" Snow could you find the king for me?" Hanzo asked his wolf in cold tone.

*Awooo* the wolf howled before running into the debris in search for the king.

Bepo seeing that everything was taken care of, laid on his back and was about to rest.

" Bepo, look for treasure and supplies." I ordered.

" I'm sorry." Bepo said with his grave depressed voice as he slowly stood up and was about to get to work.

" Forget about it I'll do it myself!" I said.

[Scan]

I quickly scanned the debris and with a grabbing motion, every treasure and food supplies inside the castle appeared at my feet.

The large mountain of gold, berries and food was impressive. That greedy bastard had enough to feed the whole village for years, but just hoarded everything for himself.

"Bepo put all the treasures and supplies we will need in a bag." I ordered.

" Hai Captain!" The 11 years old bear exclaimed and immediately got to work.

A couple of minutes later, Snow walked toward us with a blonde brat in his maw.

" Ah let me go! I am the king!" The spoiled king kept shouting while Snow completely ignored him.

"I'll have you on stake for your insolence!" The king kept shouting

Snow dropped king Joffrey at Hanzo's feet. Who immediately punched the blonde to the ground, straddled him and started beating him up.

"Ah please someone help!" "I'll give you money!" "Guards anyone please help!" The king kept shouting but no one came.

After the 5th hit the king lost consciousness, but Hanzo didn't relent.

Hanzo kept punching and punching for what seemed like hours, the king skull was caved in and he was long dead but Hanzo didn't stop. As blood kept spluttering on his clothes, face and hair.

Seeing as Hanzo fists started bleeding, I went to stop him.

" Why? Why did it have to be her? If I hadn't helped her…" Hanzo said as tears started falling from his eyes.

Hearing his words I stopped in my tracks not knowing what to do.

Hanzo was suddenly sent flying as Mikoto smashed his fist into his face.

" You don't know the future you Baka! So stop bitching about it!" Mikoto shouted before walking away and started helping Bepo put the treasures in a big brown bag. "Now stop being a bitch, and help us this treasure ain't going to carry itself!"

" What did you call me?" Hanzo asked menacingly, making Mikoto repeat his words without care. The two soon started fighting around without care for the treasure.

The gloomy atmosphere completely gone, I started laughing out loud at their interaction. And was soon joined by the whole crew.
