A new technique and Illiasport

[Evening]

They did a pretty big way from Enrika, and now they set up a camp.

Solo: Luka.

Luka: Yes?

Solo: I will teach you something else…

Luka: Eh? Right now?

Solo: Yes, I think you need more attacks in your arsenal… Get up.

Luka nodded and took out his sword while Alice was watching curiously about the mysterious techniques of Solo, they walked to the biggest tree there was.

Solo: This is the second sword technique and one of the 3 I can use,.. Watch, and don't look away from my arm and weapon, Alice, this may help you a bit since you know how to use a weapon.

Solo and Alice talked a bit in the journey to know each other, and Solo was surprised that despite Alice's body, she could use weapons really well.

Then Solo took out the sheathed zanpakuto and didn't take it out

Solo: Now, watch.

Solo lightly thrusted his sheath to the tree, and suddenly a really big and gaping cylindrical hole appeared over it, Luka was surprised while Alice was impressed.

Solo: This is Onibi, another technique I can use and I will teach you, the concept is similar to Ryodan, you need to use your will in a blunt weapon and thrust forward with all your might.

You can even use the sword, but the effects will be different, it is even a good technique to damage your enemies even if they have some sort of armor, now try it yourself.

Luka nodded with resolution in his face and practiced to another tree with a wooden thick stick, he continued to thrust until he got a little result, there was a really small hole in the tree.

Meanwhile Solo was cleaning himself in a nearby lake under the moon, he unconsciously looked at himself with the reflection of the water, and noticed something glowing in his hollow hole, so he put an hand inside and touched whatever it was.

His eyes widened after he bended himself to see better what it was and seen the Hogyoku floating in his chest.

Solo: ...What the fuck? How did it go there?

Solo tried to remove the Hogyoku but it didn't budge from the hollow hole, then Solo sighed and let it be there.

Solo: 'What does it mean?...' Let's turn back…

Then Solo dried himself and dressed up before walking back at the camp, where Luka and Alice already started sleeping, he used his sleeping bag and slept too.

[tomorrow]

It was morning, Solo was sleeping with a smile, peacefully, until he was woken up from Luka.

Luka: Illias?!

Solo: What the fuck is happening?!

Solo was annoyed from being woken up, and it seemed that Luka dreamed again about Illias.

Solo: 'That goddamn woman, can she enter in his mind at day?! We need to fucking sleep!'

Alice: As usual, you're so noisy in the morning.

Luka: Ahh… Illias… Thank you for giving me your revelation!

Solo: '...I am starting to wish Aizen killed me back then… At least I wouldn't have to deal with this shit...'

Alice: Praying right as you get up… You're like some smelly old man.

Luka: Even young people give their gratitude to Illias. Do you want to pray with me, Alice, Solo?

Solo: I'll would give her a middle finger instead of gratitude…

Luka: What…?

Alice: I agree…

Luka: ...Guys… Why are you so evil in the morning… Please Illias, forgive their actions…

Then they started to walk towards Illiasport.

[later]

They encountered with a rafflesia monster and Luka effortlessly defeated her with Onibi, using the tip of the sword, which made a hole through her tentacles and pierced her, then sealed her in a little flower.

After that there was a roper girl, who almost ate Luka.

Luka: Help me!

Solo: *Sigh*...

Then he just swinged his arm horizontally towards her, and her head disappeared, instantly killing her.

Luka got away and was horrified from what just happened.

Luka: Why...Why did you kill her?

Solo: I don't have a magical weapon like yours, and it's not my fault if I can't hold back enough to let her live…

Alice: He's right… I don't like seeing other monsters die but I can't do anything about it, unlike with Granberia, who was still alive.

Luka hesitantly nodded and then they walked away and left from the place, reaching Illiasport.

Alice: For a port town, it isn't very lively.

Luka: You're right… I wonder if something happened.

Then he got towards a random man and asked.

Luka: Excuse me… Is there something happening in this port? It seems strangely deserted…

Extra: Of course it's deserted. Since last year, nobody has made a round trip to the Sentora continent.

Luka: Eh?!

Solo: Why?

Extra: You travelers must be new, there's a horrible storm. Every time a ship leaves the coast, it's hit by a huge storm.

Luka: A storm…? You don't mean that it always starts storming as soon as they leave, do you?

Extra: Yes, every time. No matter how clear it looks, as soon as a ship sets out it starts storming.

Solo: Do you know the cause?

Extra: I only know that it is the work of a monster, nothing else.

Alice: I see…

Solo: Is it another one of them?

Alice: Yes, it's another one…

Luka was trying to get what they were talking about but he was confused.

Luka: Who?

Solo: You will find out later…

Luka: What do you mean?

Solo started grinning and said

Solo: Don't play dumb, I know you want to confront against the monster.

Luka smirked and nodded, before he got serious again.

Luka: Still, what should we do…?

?: There's a way, my Hero!

Solo: NO! NOT YOU!!

Then Amira appeared in front of them, despite their annoyed face.

Amira: I am Amira, an Unfortunate-

Solo: -Finger in my Butthole!

Amira: Rude… Still, I have information that can help you, which I got from the 'Sort of' Illegal information shop.

Alice: Very well, we'll listen only to that.

Amira: Quiet, you!

Alice: What... !? You…!

Solo: Can we just hear the damn information before I'll blast Illiasport in nothingless?!

Amira: Eh… Oh yeah, if you go out the town and head east a ways, you will come across a cave. In there lies the treasure of the legendary pirate Captain Selene.

Luka: The Captain Selene…?

Amira: In that treasure trove seems to be the legendary Poseidon's Bell. Carrying that bell, no matter how the sea rages, the ship won't sink.

Solo: I might as well use a cero at the storm…

But no one heard him.

Luka: I see… If that's true…

Amira: But the cave is a monster's den… Many adventurers have attempted to claim Selene's treasure… Most that went looking never returned… Kyaa! Amira is scared!

Solo: 'Don't use your last Caja Negacion… Don't use your last Caja Negacion…'

Amira: Amira's happy embarrassing information session ends here.

Solo: Hey Amira, can you point at which direction is Illiasburg?

Amira was curious and used her head to point the direction.

Amira: It's ther- Wait a second!!

She was interrupted when Solo grabbed her from her leg and with as much strength he could muster, he threw her away.

Amira: I WIIIILLLL BE BAAAAAAaaaaaaa…

Then she was not heard anymore.

Luka: thank you Solo…

Alice: Yeah… Still, a pirate's treasure… Even if it's rotten, there may be a delicious dish there.

Solo: What the fuck, Alice… Seriously, what the fuck?!

Then they walked towards the cave.
