8 Getting Back The Sword

Yue looked at the samurai girl by her side, the girl was wearing a kimono with beautiful embroidery, her hair was tied in a bun and it was long and black, and her eyes were blue like the ocean. Enko turned to Yue and inquired, "Is there something on my face?"

Yue shook her head, "No, do you know where are your swords?"

Enko just shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she had no idea. Seeing this gesture, Yue smiled and spoke, "Then we will have to, go through this entire prison until we find it."

Yue moved forward ahead, they both left the room and entered the corridor, Yue defeated all the marines that came for them. She was the only one that fought. Enko didn't fight as she didn't have her weapon. She just followed after Yue, she already considered Yue her lord.

They both cleared the prison area, and left the building, a new area opened up to them. They were both inside the prison walls.

Yue looked around in the distance she saw two more buildings, one was big other was small. The small building was an armoury as it was written on it. Yue spoke, "Let's go to the armoury, maybe we will find your weapon there."

Enko nodded her head and spoke, "I hope you are right my lord."

Yue frowned and spoke with slight irritation in her voice, "Don't call me your lord, refer to me as captain or Yue."

Enko nodded her head, "As you wish Yue."

Yue smiled and she continued leading the way to the armoury. There were not many marines in the yard, but Yue dispatched all the weak little marines.

Finally arriving at the entrance of the armoury, Yue opened the door. Inside there she saw many weapons. She looked at Enko and spoke, "Please go ahead, I will keep watch."

"Alright," Enko agreed as she started looking through the swords. When she was searching, Yue left the building, she saw that from a large building marines exited. And they all ran towards their direction.

The sound of feet hitting the ground echoed through the yard, Yue took a deep breath as she prepared for her battle. Yue dashed at the marines, and marines dashed at her with their swords. The ones wielding the guns, couldn't get a clear shot, as she was alone and she fought smartly by always blocking the line of fire with marine bodies.

With every marine taken down, two more appeared she kept fighting and fighting, even if all these enemies were really weak but the number of them was too large.

Yue was getting winded up when she decided to use her secret attack, a shout came from the armoury it was Enko she shouted, "I finally found you Silver Saber secret of echoes.

Enko came out of the armoury as she apologised, "Sorry to make you wait, my lord... uh I mean Yue"

With these words she sprang into action, she drew her blade and slashed.

Yue seeing her join the battle shouted instead, let's retreat. We have everything that we came for, let's leave. Enko nodded her head. Approaching the gate, Enko faced it drew her sword. And slashed, the steel gate was destroyed as an opening appeared. Yue smiled and she ran out of the opening with Enko.

Thet both returned back to the ship, looking at Ira, Yue spoke I have returned with our fourth member, Ira nodded her head and inquired, "Where is Naju?"

Enko looked at Yue and inquired, "Who is Naju?"

Yue frowned as she looked at her shoulder, but it was empty, Naju wasn't there. She took a deep breath and exhaled, "I am going back, you two prepare the ship for departure, I will be back. I have a bird to rescue."

Yue with her fastest speed ran back to the prison, she ran to the large building, as it was the only location, Naju could be in.

Breaking in she was met with an army of marines, frowning she punched and marines fell, she clobbered all the through the entire building. She fought her way to the highest floor when she broke the door. She found her south bird.

Naju was tied up and opposite on Naju she spotted the marine captain that had her brought into this prison. She frowned when she looked at this middle-aged man.

The man looked at Yue and spoke, "I knew you would come back, pirates always come for their own don't they?"

"Release Naju, marine"

"So this south bird is named Naju?" He asked, with a smiling face.

Yue frowned as she looked at the marine, she wanted to attack. But she was slightly anxious about the ability this marine possessed. She didn't know how his devil fruit actually worked.

The man looked at Yue and inquired, "What's wrong? Why aren't you attacking me, pirate?"

Yue narrowed her eyes as she stared down the marine, she narrowed her eyes and she jumped at the marine. She punch and the marine countered with his own attack. Their attacks collided and the marine was sent back, Yue had managed to come out on top in their exchange.

Yue didn't feel tired and she didn't fall asleep like last time, she began comparing her fights with this man, what she did differently. After examining both times, she came to a conclusion. Last time the man forced her to open her mouth, she reasoned that his ability could only be activated if she opened her mouth. With this, she punched without opening her mouth or shouting anything.

The marine just grunted as he was sent flying. Yue approached the bird and picked him up after she ran away. The marine was forced to look at her departing figure, he narrowed his eyes and he spoke, "I will let you go, for now, girl."

Yue quickly returned to her ship with the bird in hand, she jumped onto the ship and they together sailed away. Naju getting free looked up at Yue and inquired, "What's our next goal?"

Yue looked over he crue and stated, "We are going to ...."
