Bab 81: Chapter 81: Success !
...
After Edam dealt with the second Bishop, he carried the guy by making him float and follow him by his side, thanks to his Heaven's pearl binding him, he was in fact basically making his Heaven's pearl fly in the air which wasn't an incredible feat for him...
...However the same thing couldn't be said for the three girls... It was understandable, what the hell were these weirds golden floating balls that could stretches to bind on ennemy?
To which Edam replied with difficulty. "To make it short, it's my vitality coming out ?"
"Huh ?" The three and even five of them tilted their heads with questions marks all over their faces.
They clearly didn't get a single things out of this. Sure enough it would be easier to explain if they at least knew the basics of Haki but they didn't so...
"...Anyway, let's go back..."
But hey It was thanks to those golden floating balls that he didn't had to bother himself to carry the guy... phew...
"Put me down, put me down, I cursed you to an eternity of unfortune...!" Bishop finally stopped whining over his leg and started to cursed at Edam for five good minutes.
"Be quiet..." Edam said calmly and tried to ignore him.
"You! Don't you fear the gods?!"
"Not really no..." Edam said uncaringly and even thought thereafter.
'I already killed one... ah no two...'
"Ugh...If you let me go I could still save you from going to hell."
"Well I don't want your help, you should save yourself first from going there alright ?"
"Ah, I know if you let me go I will bless you and your family how about this son?"
"Don't call me son..." Edam glanced at him with a bit of annoyance starting to grow...
"All of us are the sons of God and and I have been chosen to guide you poor souls so of course I should be considered as your father-...."
Edam who was quickly fed up rolled his eyes and...
"Shut up..."
Pah!
Edam's leg performed a high kick and violently met the Bishop's head sending him straight to Wonderland.
"...Godammit..." Edam sighed a breath out and returned to walking along with the others who were looking at this with wide open eyes at him and only then everything returned to a peaceful atmosphere.
'He finally shut it at the end of the day...' They all thought as they reach the place where the hundred of people were currently waiting.
Zaz, Raffe, and Kuina had reach the place already after having tidy up the altar's place.
"Where is Leo ?" Edam asked the three.
"Heh! He lost to Janken so he was tasked to keep the captives over there." Zaz chuckled mercilessly.
Edam laughed at Leo's misery and then turned toward the citizens.
"Haha... what good seedlings!"
"Hoho, they reminded me of my younger self..."
"Gyohoho, true true..."
Edam smiled at their blabbering, he had to say that for people who were nearly used as sacrificial lambs they were rather lively, they were chatting with seemingly no worry at all.
An elder came to talk to him and even started asked some strange questions.
"Hohoho, how old are you son ?"
"...?" Edam then replied without thinking. "Oh I'm fourtee-... Ah no I'm fifteen this month..."
The elder eyes sharpen and he asked. "Do you have a girlfriend ? A fiancee perhaps ?"
"Uh... I don't but..." Edam replied with a small sweat in face of this question.
"Oh then what do you think-..."
"Father !" The elder was forcefully taken away by his son who apologized and dragged him somewhere else.
"Hah haha..." Edam laughed softly. 'What a lively elder...'
There was even one certain guy with a long nose who was boasting to everyone how he participated in the shadow in this raid against the evil sect.
"Hehe... Yes yes it's me the courageous warrior of the seas, Captain Ussop to serve you !" He rubbed his nose proudly in front of the children listening to him with glittering eyes.
Though too bad for him, his boasting was sure to work on kids and idiots, but some figured out the truth it seems.
However none of them belittle him and just laughed and joked around with him, after all it was sometimes important to have fun.
"Haha sure sure..."
"Haha then thank you brave warrior."
Raffe snorted, Inue tilted his head, Nekoe too.
Shion didn't give a shit about him too busy to reflect on his mistakes, and Kuina just minded her own business as she took care of her sword while Mickey, Donny, Zaz and Edam were listening to the guy's brave adventures in this small cave in amusement.
Edam just thought with a wry smile. 'What a funny guy...'
"Shameless..." Donny murmured with his glasses on.
"Haha..." Mickey laughed it off.
He afterward took two steps in front of everyone and asked where they were all from and surprisingly or not, all of them were people originating from other islands within East-blue. They all had been kidnapped by this sect and brought here.
For example, the funny long nose guy came from Syrup town, while some other were from Gaimon's island etc... a lot of people from a lot of places.
"Well let's go back, please everyone just follow us, we will bring to the nearest town, that is to say Coco town." Edam spoke with a loud voice.
...
With the Worshippers plan failling completely, and the hostages secured and brought back to the nearest town to wait for ships to bring them back home, Edam's newly formed unit reported to the two vice-admirals in charge as Hina's unit reunite with them. As for them they had it really easy this time, they didn't lifted a single finger, how cool...
Edam's groups then met Genzo who was waiting nervously when he saw the hundred lf people coming back along with Bell-mère, Nami and Nojiko.
The relief on his face was visible a hundred of meters away already. He even wanted to kowtowed, but Edam stopped him in his track with a...
"Hey, hey, hey, my teacher use to tell me that men has gold under their knees, you can only do that to those you love... You don't love me do you...?" Edam asked with a doubtfull expression at the end.
"What-...?! You ?! Of course I don't love you ! You brat !"
It certainly made everyone laugh alright...
And next it was Bell-mère turn to mess around as she his arm and pressed her assets and proposed Edam to pay him back with her body...
"...No thanks..." Edam averted his eyes as he tried to push the other clinging party off his arm.
Good for him, her two daughters burst out and dragged her too the side.
...
"... And after that we just brought back the hundred of people back to Coco town..." Edam reported to a "cold" white haired Den Den Mushi.
"Good, well done, now about the corrupted Captain... what was his name again?" Vaughn voice sounded out.
"Nezumi, Vaughn-sensei..."
"Since you are the one who dealt with him you shall decided what to do about him..." Vaughn paused and wait for an answer.
"Uh, are you sure?"
He didn't get an answer meaning that yes he could.
Edam then paused before throwing a glance at the "rat" lying and struggling on the ground, trying to get rid of his handcuffs in vain.
"Well then, the guy was bribed to keep silence and allowed the worshippers to use living being's lives as they pleased. I would honestly tend to say capital punishment for trash like that but... as it is our unit first mission I wanted to sort this out without any deaths..."
"As such I suggest to let a rotten guy like him rot in Impel Down for the rest of his life..." Edam said without any mercy in his voice.
The rat's face paled instantly knowing that dying would maybe be a better option. To reach this position he had schemed against countless pirates who were residing in Impel Down right now so this would literally be a trip in Hell for him.
"However if the vice-admirals wanted to lessen his punishment then..." Edam still wanted to hear their thoughts on the subject.
...Nezumi seemed to have find a beacon of light in his despair but then,
"...No it seems to be a reasonable punishment..." Vaughn's even more merciless and cold voice sounded out. Exactly what you would expect from someone who follow the "freezing cold justice".
"No!!!!! please I'm sorry, I won't do that ever again, please, I beg you! No!" Panic and despair was all over his face as he struggled to shouted his pleas.
However Edam couldn't careless and only looked at him plainly for the last time as Nezumi was taken away by someone, before turning toward the Den Den Mushi again.
"That is all I have to say Teacher..."
"Hmm... Alright, is the former ensign here?"
"Yes." Edam said before calling out to Bell-mère standing not too far away, handing her the Den Den Mushi. "The vice-admiral Vaughn want to speak with you..."
"...? Alright, hello...?" Bell-mère greet him and asked. "What can I do?"
The Den Den Mushi nodded and then said.
"The report say that you have some difficulty to provided comfort to your two daughters, correct?" His voice was still cold but a touch of nigh unnoticeable warm seemed to be present in it.
"Uh... Y-... Yes a bit..."
"Then congratulation, you're promoted to the rank of captain, you will take over the former Nezumi's base, and managed the Conomi Archipelago." Vaughn's voice sounded out as indifferent as ever. He didn't really asked for her consentment, leaving no room for refute.
"I-... I uh... thank you... I guess..."
The Den Den Mushi nodded and said. "Good, now Edam your unit mission is a success, you can go back to the ship and directly return to the Headquarter."
"Alright, we will return this afternoon then..." Edam comfirmed.
"Hmm... over.." Vaughn said and hang up.
"Phew... Teacher Vaughn is still as cold as ever..." Edam breath out and put down the Den Den Mushi.
With that done their mission was kind of beautifuly accomplished.
After talking a bit till afternoon with the citizens who were thanking them for a thousand time again. Edam decided to go back to Marineford since they didn't had anything else to do here.
Everything was ready, the ship good to go, and the citizens safe and lively enough to cheerfully send them away.
And then Hina's crew and Edam's own team embarked on the ship.
However just as Edam who was the last member to embarked was about to step on the ship, he was stopped in his track by someone.
"...?" He turned around to see that it was actually the orange haired girl that he saved earlier in company of her sister. "Yes ? Um, Nami and Nojiko was it ?"
"Yeah...? Uh, I, I just want to thank you from saving me earlier and apologize for almost slapping your face..." As she said that, she blushed a little as she stick out her tongue. Slapping one savior's was something to be embarrassed about after all.
"Oh... that ?" Edam exclaimed as his hand slowly reach to gently pat her head to her surprise.
"Don't mind it, I don't minded it so do the same, I could have been a big bad guy... also you didn't even touch me so let's brushed it off okay ?" He smiled clearly not giving a shit about earlier.
"Yeah... uh alright..." She replied blankly and looked at her sister who shrugged her shoulders.
"And as for saving you... Well it's my job to begin with, I'm even paid for...Hehe don't mention it." He patted her uncaringly.
"Well then, bye bye...take care of yourselves..." Edam then smiled again before turning around to the ship waving the back of his right hand at them.
"Hmm... goodbye..." Nami and Nojiko as well as the other citizens waved back at the departing ship.
...
Thus, four days later they were back to Marineford...
