One Piece Bounty Wars

Chapter 21 - Flying is Fun

Jack and Luke sat down at the table and waited until a woman with brown hair came to their tables and took their order. After eating their food Jack paid for the meal then the two went on their way to see more of the town. "This place sucks. There aren't even any tree's or lakes, just buildings and ocean" Jack commented. Luke couldn't refute his claims, but still spoke, "You do know this place's only purpose is a marine base right?" Jack knew this island was just a base, but it would still suck for raising a family. "Yes I know that, but people bring their families here so what do children do? They're probably bored out of their skulls unless they get taken to other nearby islands frequently. With places like this it's no wonder people get angry and feel the need to go out and adventure when they're older. I've been here for less than a day and I already hate it here" Jack complained lazily. They walked around, not really doing anything for awhile longer before they made there way back to the marine base. When they got there most if not all of the soldiers had woken up and were talking with each other. Before anyone of them could see Jack he pulled a white skull mask from nowhere and quickly put it on. When all the tied soldiers saw the two men coming towards them they thought they were going to be released, but when they noticed Luke they all paled. This was the man that had killed their leader and some of their comrades before beating them and was most likely the one that tied them as well.

"Greetings my little bean sprouts. How are you all doing? I hope you are taking in all those nutrients from the sun and growing strong" Jack said cheerfully beneath his mask. When everyone heard him their expressions turned to confussion, even Luke. "*Sigh* You all have no sense of humour. Anyway, here is whats gonna happen you sorry pieces of shit. You will stay like you are for another 3 hours then you will be released to go back to your jobs. The citizens of this town have pleaded for your continued survival, so if I were you I would thank them all and start doing your f.u.c.k.i.n.g job of protecting them!! Do any of you have something you would like to say?" Jack asked, the hate practically oozing from his words. None of the soldiers said anything, but that didn't seem to stop a certain blonde haired brat from making himself heard. "Untie me this instant!! Do you know who I am?!!" Helmeppo squealed like the pampered brat he is. "Well you will be there until morning ya little c.u.n.t. As for who you are, I would say the town bitch for the next few months until you work off all the damage that you caused and food and items you skipped out on paying for due to your delusional father. Anyway your voice really gets on my nerves so if you don't want to be gagged as well then I'd suggest you keep your mouth shut!!" Jack said cruely, not even trying to hide the fact that he really didn't care for this kid one bit. At the masked man's words, Helmeppo visibly paled. He couldn't rely on his fathers influence anymore. and knew he would have to make up for quite a bit of cruel things he did.

While Jack and Luke were waiting for the time limit to end, they went inside the base and helped themselves to anything they wanted. Jack made his way to a room with a vault and smiled with a greedy look in his eyes. 'Buggy won't have been here to rob them this time so there should be something of value here' Jack thought hopefully. Using his darkness power to rip the door off the safe he looked inside and saw a few stacks of berries and some small pieces of gold. Taking all of the gold and most of the stacks of berries into his inventory, Jack made sure to leave enough so that the marines could pay the wages of everyone here for the next month, then left the room to go to the armoury. He picked that place clean of any form of weapon before making his way back outside. He had explored long enough that the time limit for freeing the soldiers was almost here. Jack waited for about 20 more minutes before Luke walked out of the building carrying a small bag over his shoulder and a few decent looking swords. "Whatcha got there in the bag?" Jack asked curiously. "Just some reports on pirate sightings around the East Blue, marine patrol routes and such. Figured we can deal with a few people that the marines won't" Luke said, not trying to hide anything from his Captain. "Smart. Very smart. Works for me. Anyway lets untie these losers and get going" Jack said, sounding happy at the thought of leaving here. When all the marines were untied they all gathered around the two strange people that had just cut their bonds. "Now I don't want to hear of anything like what happened here happen again. As for the little blond c.u.n.t over their, wait until morning then untie him. Give him a days rest then send him to start working off what he owes to the town. You sorry lot will be in charge of that. Dismissed!!" Jack said loudly for all of them to hear before he and Luke started making their way to the docks. Jack had no intention of staying here longer than he had to.

When they got to the docks Jack looked around for any other little sh.i.p.s like his, but all he found was a little row boat. Looking back and forth between Luke and the little boat Jack had a puzzled look on his face as he said, "Don't tell me you actually used that tiny little thing to sail around?!" He said pointing to the tiny boat. Luke looked at his litte boat then back to Jack before looking around the docks. "Well at least I got something!" Luke shot back trying to defend his little boat. Instead of arguing Jack walked over and raised his hand, and his little ship appeared. "This is just a starting ship. I already got our main ship all planned out, but for now this will do for just the two of us" Jack replied smugly to the wide eyed Luke. "I knew you could make them disappear, but not do this... It's amazing" Luke said after he came out of his daze. "If you think this was amazing, you just wait and see what happens when we start going" Jack said cryptically. They both jumped aboard the ship, then Luke looked at the map and pointed in the direction of a certain little island that Jack wanted to go to next. "Alright now hang on to something" Jack said evilily. Luke wasn't sure what his Captain was planning to do, but that smile told of bad things to come. Quickly wrapping his arms around the tiny mast, Luke waited for what Jack was going to do. Jack walked towards the back of the boat and held onto the side of the ship, then started to charge his power to act as a thruster. When he unleashed his power the ship was launched into the sky at an unbelievable speed. As they flew through the air a thougth occured to Jack, 'How the f.u.c.k do I land this thing?!'

Jack looked over and saw Luke was still clinging to the mast, but he had a big smile on his face taking in the view of the sea below them. "THIS IS AWESOME!!!" Luke shouted joyfully. "Lets hope we can survive the landing!!" Jack called out. That little statement had managed to silence Luke immediately. The ship continued to fly for another 3 minutes before it started to decend towards the sea. Just as the ship was coming in for heavy landing, Jack unleashed another charge of power, just not as powerful as the first one, and the charge managed to make them shoot across the ocean and land better than they would have originally. "Well... That worked better than I thought." Jack said happily. "From now on, I'm in charge of how we sail. We're gonna die if you keep doing that!" Luke shouted tiredly with a pale face. When Jack looked around he noticed an island in the distance and shouted excitedly, "This methood of travel is awesome!! We made it here in like 5 minutes tops!" Luke managed to get to his feet and looked towards where Jack was pointing. "I still don't like it" Luke said sternly. "We don't always have to travel like that, but you can't deny that it is really convienient as shit!!" Luke couldn't refute Jack's words and just grumbled to himself. "Lets just go to the f.u.c.k.i.n.g island. I've had enough of your shit for right now" Luke finally spat out. When Luke saw Jack heading for the back of the boat his face paled before he shouted, "NOT THAT WAY!! Lets sail normally until we get there." Jack just shrugged his shoulders before they opened the sail and started slowly making their way to the island.

Upon arriving at the island they both jumped onto the beach before Jack stored the ship. "I don't think I'll ever get use to that" Luke mummbled quietly. Jack didn't say anything, he just started walking towards a road that was indented between the cliff that surrounded the island. "So what are we doing here?" Luke asked curiously. "There is a pirate here that irritates me. He is pretending to be a butler for right now, but his plan is to kill a little girl for all her money in like three years. It would just make me feel a whole lot better if he stopped breathing" Jack answered back casually. When Luke heard that, his facial expression turned serious and he remained silent. As they made their way down the road, they saw some flags pop up from some bushes, followed by the sound of someone yelling, "You have entered the domain of the great Captain Usopp!! I have 8,000 men under my control, so it would be wise for you to turn back to where you came from" Luke just turned his gaze to Jack, who was rubbing his forehead with a scowl on his face. 'Of course I run into this little f.u.c.k.i.n.g c.u.n.t within the first 5 minutes. F.u.c.k!!' Jack cursed inwardly. Instead of answering or looking confused, Jack just started walking down the road again, Luke doing the same. They heard Usopp yelling at them as they kept on walking, but they didn't even acknowledge his existance.

Eventually they arrived at a small town called Syrup Village. They didn't bother to stop anywhere for food, they just walked towards he big a.s.s mansion on the edge of town. When they got to the gates, some guards stopped them. "State your business?" One of the guards said. "Could you please bring me whoever is in charge here? I have something very important I need to discuss with them" Jack said politely. The guards looked to each other, then one of them went inside the building and came out a few minutes later following behind a man and woman. They weren't super old, but they weren't young either. The woman had long blonde hair, while the man had light brown hair with a well trimmed beard. 'I guess Kaya's parents are still alive right now' Jack thought happily. The man walked over and said, "I am Henry, the lord of this estate and this is my wife Layla. (A.N. I don't know their names so I made them up.) My guard said that you had something important to discuss with me, is that true?" Jack nodded his head towards Henry as he said, "Yes it is sir. If you don't mind I would like to show you a piece of paper. Once you see it, you will know why we are here" Jack said as he pretended to fumble inside his shirt, when in reality he was quickly going through the shop and purchased Kuro's wanted poster, then pulled it out.

Henry walked forward and looked at the poster, and as soon as he saw the man on it, his face paled. The man on the poster was the same man that he had hired a few weeks ago to be his daughters personal butler, the butler that was with her right this very minute. Henry was about to run into the house to where the man was, but a firm hand held him in place. "Not yet. If he realizes that you know, he will kill her. Send another staff member to call him to the garden, there I will deal with him" Jack said cooly. Henry realized that this was indeed the best course of action, so doing just like Jack said, he called for Klahadore to meet him in the garden. Layla looked confused as to what was going on, and when she asked about it, Henry told her to go and check on Kaya. A few minutes later Jack, Luke, and Henry were in the Garden sitting at a small table when a tall man, with well combed hair and a nice suit came walking towards them. "Can I help you sir?" The man asked, as he pushed his glasses closer to his face with the palm of his hand. "Well if it isn't the famous 'Kuro of a hundred plans'. I never thought you would act as a butler for one of your little schemes" Jack said mockingly.

At the strangers words, Kuro's face immediately darkened and he got ready to charge towards Jack, but before he could make a move, Jack appeared behind him and kicked the back of his leg, shattering it in an instand. Kuro screamed and dropped to his knee. "Were you really stupid enough as to believe that you could get this estate as your own? I think you are more delusional than Jango, and thats saying something" Jack said mocking Kuro once again. Kuro looked towards Jack with burning hatred in his eyes. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!! My plans always work!! They never fail! I would have had it all if it weren't for you!!" Kuro shouted with a crazed look on his face. Before Kuro could say anything else, Luke appeared right next to him and stabbed a sword through Kuro's heart. Henry had a horrified look on his face, as he and his family could have been killed by someone they had opened their home to. Jack saw the look on Henry's face, and had an idea of what might be running through the mans head. "There is nothing wrong with trying to see the best in people. Kuro was a master stratigist, and knew how to play the part, and he played off your charity. Anyway, we will get rid of the body and get out of your hair. You can tell everyone that Kuro left with some strangers to go back where he belongs" Jack said calmly. Henry could only nod his head at those words, then went back into the house to inform some staff members that Klahadore had left the service. When he came back a few moments later, Kuro's body was already gone, and Jack and Luke were making their way towards the gate. "Wait!!" Henry shouted towards them. Running over to them, Henry bowed his head to them. "Thank you. If you hadn't come here, Kla- I mean Kuro might really have killed my family. I cannot even begin to pay this debt" Henry said, showing as much respect as he could.

Jack and Luke tried to play it off as if it was nothing, but Henry wasn't having any of it. He invited them to stay for dinner and even paid for some rooms in town at a nice little Inn. The next morning Henry and Layla said goodbye to them as they made their way back towards the coast. "Well that was nice. Met some nice people, killed someone that I didn't like, got free food and a soft bed. Alll in all I'd say this was a pretty decent trip" Jack said happily as they walked down the road. "You aren't wrong there" Luke agreed. "So which island do you wanna fly to next?" Jack asked cheerfully. That brought Luke to a stop mid step. "If you think I'm doing that again, you're crazy!! We can sail like normal people for a change" Luke said angrily. "We were just fine last time, so it should be fine this time as well. Besides whose the Captain here?!! Me thats who. Because there isn't anywhere I gotta be right away, we can sail normally, but we will be trying that again. Besides you might grow to like traveling while flying" Jack stated a little louder than was needed. "You're crazy if you think I'd like flying like that. Anyway lets go" Luke said tiredly as they reached the beach.
