4 Chapter 4: Escape (3)

—---------------

Chapter- 4

—---------------

Yoriichi who was hiding just in the bush beside the sisters, already reacted as the celestial dragon shot the gun

He quickly grabbed the stone from the ground as he used his breathing technique, and threw it towards the bullet's path with his full strength

*thud*

The stone was very fast, fast enough to hit the bullet on its path as well as powerful enough to deflect the bullet

The celestial dragon panicked seeing this he aimed his gun towards yoriichi direction as he started to shoot continuously

But Yoriichi ran towards the celestial dragon he quickly dodged all the bullets which was aimed towards

As he comes near the celestial dragon, he punches him in the guts enough to make him fall backwards and next moment takes the sword from his hand

And jumped on top of him while the celestial dragon was in the air he struck the head of the celestial dragon hard enough to break the bubble and make him unconscious

More people who were loading the boxes onto the ship noticed this as they rushed towards yoriichi

"YOU BRAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!!" The man said this as he rushed with a sword in his hand but it was futile as the Yoriichi Dodge it and hit the man's neck hard enough to make him lose consciousness

He did it all while the sword was in its sight otherwise it would have a slaughtered, but Yoriichi values every life and doesn't want to take another's life because he feels that nobody has the right to take life

Before yoriichi could turn towards the sisters, Hancock already jumped towards him she hugged him tightly

"Are you insane or something!?!" Hancock shouted as she rushed forward and hugged yoriichi tightly with tears in her eyes her sisters also seemed to be crying

Yoriichi currently who is tightly held tightly by Hancock is very confused because he couldn't but he has done wrong

"Let's escape quickly before they wake up!" Hancock who seems to come back to her senses grabbed yoriichi hand and rushed towards the ship

they quickly got on the boat in which the celestial dragon was loading his stuff and it was a small yet expensive ship

As they stepped on the boat, Hancock couldn't help but be confused after all she was just a teenager, how would she know about ships especially when she hadn't gone out of her island in her lifetime

Fortunately, yoriichi seems to have known about these kinds of boats as he understands what Hancock wants to do

And pulled the lever which caused the anchor to be removed as the boat started to move and as the sails were already down

Even without a sense of direction, Hancock and her sisters are so happy that they even shed tears of joy after seeing that she is finally leaving that hell

Meanwhile yoriichi just stared at the whole island which was on fire while he continued to hear their screams

…..

At night…

Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold are now sleeping peacefully on the big bed in one of the rooms on this ship

And they seem to sleeping very soundly after all it's very long since they actually slept on a bed as well and they were very tired mentally and physically too

"I am sorry," Hancock said in a guilty tone as she apologises while looking towards yoriichi who enjoying the sea breeze while holding the sword he took from that celestial dragon

"Why?" yoriichi couldn't help but ask this since it's been a while since she kept apologising and he didn't know why she was asking for forgiveness

"You don't know?" Hancock asked this in a surprised tone but looking at yoriichi confused expression, she found he was really ignorant about this world

"You know that man who shotgun towards us who you beat is a celestial dragon and it's considered a very horrible crime of what you did," She said as she stared at his calm eyes with guilt and continued in a low yet guilty tone "it all happened because of me… even though you helped me and my sisters"

'And even though they didn't see us but still they saw him properly' She said this in her mind because she was afraid that if she said this out loud then she surely would have a breakdown due to her guilt

She knows how much the World government favours celestial dragons, they are like gods to this world who can do whatever they want without facing any consequences and if anyone disobeys them then not only that person but also anyone related to that person will receive punishment

She saw how cruel celestial dragons are, they treat everyone else like their toys which they can play with at their will and then break them when they get bored of them

She wouldn't want to imagine what would happen if yoriichi got caught, he is her first friend as well as the person who helped her and her sisters alot in these days

"I know!" Hancock spoke this out loud and she quickly grabbed his hands as she came very near his face and forced him to look into her eyes

And she continued "Come back with us to our home which will be a totally safe place for you, even though no man has ever stepped on my home before but I am sure they gonna make an exception for you after all I am gonna be the future leader of my home someday"

After she said this all and then she stared at him waiting for his answer eagerly, and since yoriichi didn't have anywhere left to go

He nodded his head agreeing to go with her, as she tightly hugged him while yoriichi couldn't help but feel surprised at this because nobody has held him like this other than his late mother

Even though her hug was very different from his mother's gentle embrace but still yoriichi could feel warmth from it
