บท 38: Shikki on-board
Woosh...
A ship is cutting the air creating 'swishing' sounds in its wake. Above it 20 ISLANDS are moving in the same speed.
Hancock: " Golden Lion Shikki, we don't have ounce of chance to win if we fight him."
Jazz: " Yeah, and i am sure there must be 100s of crew members working under him. Right now all of us will die if we face them directly."
Jazz again transformed and touched the ship in that moment.
Hancock raised an eyebrow, she felt a backward pushing force and the ship gained some speed.
Jazz: Hold onto something, the ship will gradually gain speed. "
At 40 mile/hr - Cat and mouse between ship and island began.
"SWOOSH"
50 mile/hr - They left the island a little behind.
"SWOOOSH"
60 mile /hr - Sound of window and doors breaking resounded in the whole ship.
"SWOOOOOSH"
The front side door and windows got blown away by the wind pressure. The cabin is in mess things were flying inside, injuring lots of people.
Sandersonia hurriedly came to the back door upon opening it the the high speed air passed through whole cabin.
Jazz: " OPEN EVERY DOOR AND WINDOW LET THE AIR PASS THROUGH IT." he shouted at her, wind is making hard for them to make any conversations
70 miles /hr -All islands were already left behind and now only a giant Galleon with Golden Lion jolly roger are pursuing them.
" SWOOOOOOOOOSH"
Hancock:" Jazz what are we going to do? They are still chasing us." When she says that, sail which were tied till now were suddenly snapped and started fluttering.
Jazz:" Ahh... who the hell folded the sails so carelessly."
Speed of the ship didn't even slow down, but with the fluttering sails it mast started to bend back ward.
" Creaaaakkk...." With the wood creaking sound it started bending.
Hancock: " Its going to break jazz, it's going to break. " she started panicking..
Jazz also panicked if this mast broke down suddenly it will smash the cabin behind it and then them.
80 mile / hr - The mast started breaking little by little. It was loud wood snapping sound as it started cracking.
Jazz: That's it if we don't do anything this ship will fall apart.
Saying he transformed " GHOST RIDER " he was already dressed up in his Ghost uniform. Hancock looked at his transformation A "flaming skeleton " still wondering where did he copied it.
Jazz grabbed his chain with two hand in front of him horizontally, the chain transformed it looked now like it just came out of from forging. Red hot liquid some time drop from it and smoke coming out from it .
Hancock eyes were opened, she just couldn't believe that a normal chain suddenly transformed into something unnatural.
Jazz started swinging his chain above his head after few round his chain gradually elongated from its length, with a final swing his chain started coiling around the part where the mast started breaking. Coiling almost half of the mast, the creaking sound stopped coming. With firmly wrapping the mast with chain. Jazz sigh in relax.
????:" Impressive. "
Jazz and Hancock swiftly turned around only to found a a tall and old man standing on the edge of the ship he has a long blonde beard and a wooden steering wheel such on his head. Smoking a cigar with a total carefree expression he said.
Shikki: " You two have very unique abilities, especially you girl how did you made this float this ship. It very much concerns me, since I have not died did someone managed to produce a copy of 'Float Float fruit '?"
Jazz was thinking hard to get out of this question but hearing him he got more tensed, seeing him getting interested in Hancock thinking she is the one having the same ability as him.
(Jazz: He is definitely after her, he could have come at us at anytime but he was just observing us but now he decided to end this play. Grrrr he is just toying with us till now....if i had more time to gain more speed.... Damn it. This fruit ability is seriously lacking, the larger the object the slower it gains momentum, otherwise by now we would have left them behind the moment I noticed them. If I could just Mark him with Mark mark face, i would then blast holes in his body with bullets. Mark him? Touch him?..... he he he i just got a brilliant idea....)
On the other side Hancock is sweating, gripping her fist tightly she is also thinking of a way out of this situation. Shikki next sentence brought her out of her thoughts
Shikki:" If i kill this person next to you, will i get my answer? " Saying he slightly lifted his Leg/Sword.
Hancock Panicked : " Wait.... i will tell you about my ability if you let them all go. " she said hurriedly and stepped in front of Jazz trying to shield him.
Jazz looked at her action he definitely felt giddy in his heart seeing her trying to protect him. But also worried for her naivety. This guy other plans and she is falling for his traps.
Shikki: "HMM actually his ability is also appealing to me" Saying he looked at me with a smile. " how he transformed those chains piqued my interest. "
Jazz wanted to punch his smirking face, he is cornering Hancock and it is working.
Hancock: " What... but you said you were only interest in my abilities " she said grinding her teeth she thought by only telling him some lies he will not harm them and later they will look for a chance to get away.
Shikki: " How about this, i will let him and the others go but for their freedom you have to join my crew. Joining my crew is a rare chance for you and I believe you will take it. Aren't i generous hahaha " he laughed like a maniac like everything is in control from the beginning.....
But Hancock slightly staggered back hearing his demand, her head was down, all kind of emotions and thoughts were forming on her face and head. The sadness covered all her heart, thinking this could be their final days together.
( Hancock: I must save them, if my going with him will give him chance to use his ability, but...but...i don't want to...) tears slowly trickled from her eyes .
She slowly turned around and looked at who was still in his Ghost rider transformation.
Jazz undid his transformation and saw tears in her eyes, his heart pained looking at her like that.
Jazz: " Don't worry about me we will be fine here, before you go give me a hug." this is the first thing he said since Shikki aboard the ship. saying he spread his hands to give her the final hug.
But Hancock was slightly broken state listening him saying that she should go with him, more of her tears started pouring down . Jazz hugged her tightly with both of his hand forming a fist .
Shikki was getting annoying seeing them like this, he looked back and saw his Giant Galleon is now able to catch up. He wondered what is happening, how did his ship caught up to this ship. He knows that it was getting hard for the ship to move fast due to its size.
He looked at the girl wondering is it her doing, because it the paddle ship which is slowing down. He was now getting irritated.....
Shikki: " Oye enough of your touching farewell. The ship is already close enough "but they just ignored him and keep on hugging each other.
" That's enough " he shouted and started walking towards them.
Hancock came out of her depressing thought and tried to get out of his hug, she will still protect him even if he were to abandoned her. But Jazz kept on hugging her, she was trying to get out of his hug but his grip just got more tighter.
Hancock :" Let go off me....what are you doing. He is going to get upset. Let me go now." After sometime she stopped struggling, now she was hugging him more tightly. ".. please... Jazz.... Jazz. I don't want to leave you....hick.... hick... don't leave me." she cried her heart out.
Jazz: " You are more of a crybaby then Shirahoshi " he said while caressing her back
When the were having their moment, Shikki came near them, he was tall atleast more than twice their height, his walking produce sound like sword clashing. He gripped both of their shoulders trying to separate them but at that moment he relaxed his right hand fist and grabbed onto one of Shikki hand.
Shikki: " What do you think you are doing kid." he said in a threatening manner he was pissed as these two were just ignoring him. He wanted to be done with this matter as he had other things to do. And now a kid is getting in his way....
Jazz released hancock and Shikki hand. He grinned as he heard a digital sound and nearly had a heart ache hearing a familiar voice coming from the Omnitrix...
" DING, ONII-CHAN i had recorded the new DNA on Database "
All of them looked at the at the projection on top his Omnitrix.
