Beelzebubs' short appearance

[Later]

The group was back at Gold Port, because while they were searching for informations, Luka encountered a strange woman who can give them informations about Captain Selene.

And now a brown-haired woman was in front of them, and Solo was surprised from what he found about her.

Woman: Hehe… So you came. I've been looking for a Hero like you for a long time… A talented warrior… And further, you and your companions seemed interested in Captain Selene, right…?

Luka: Ah… Yes.

Woman: I'm Selena. And you two?

Luka: Err… I'm the Hero Apprentice Luka.

Alice: ...The Traveling Gourmand Alice.

Minagi: The traveler Minagi.

Solo: ...Solo Virtuta, 0th Espada, and your predator.

Luka, Alice, Minagi and Selena raised an eyebrow at his last word.

Solo: Sorry, I should have said it better… Since I am an Hollow, I eat ghosts and spirits.

Luka still didn't get it, but Alice, Minagi and Selena knew about what he was talking about and Alice hid immediately behind Solo, scared of Selena.

Selena: *Sigh* So you knew already… Yes, I'm a ghost, and I hope you don't eat me yet before you help me finish a business…

Solo: Alright.

Luka: You are a ghost?!

Selena: Yes, would you four come to my house…? We can talk some more there.

Everyone except Alice nodded, and the four of them, with Alice hugging Solo from behind from fear, followed Selena at her house.

[Later]

The group was sitting in a sofa, and Alice took the most far seat from Selena.

Selena: I want you to come on the ocean with me, and help me with something at Captain Selene's ship. I've already prepared a ship for tomorrow.

Luka: Something in Captain Selene's ship…?

Solo: Are you one of the members of her crew? 'I don't think she can be the Captain Selene herself… It must be a coincidence that their name are similar…'

Selena: Yes, I was, and when we all died, she moved on while I stood there… The reason of our death was for the 'Calamity Box' that we found…

Alice/Minagi: Calamity Box?!

Luka: Hm? You know something about it?

Minagi: Yes, it was used to contain a really evil monster which was sealed from my Mistress…

Solo: So you want us to help killing whatever was that monster?

Selena: Yes, and I will give you the Purple Orb she treasured so much, which is in the Captain's Room. So you four accept?

Luka: We will go.

Selena: Alright, then let's meet to the port tomorrow.

Everyone nodded and left her house to rent an inn, where they slept.

[tomorrow]

The sun just came out, they were in the sea, and Solo was the only one still sleeping, he was too tired from the nocturnal activity he and the two monsters did, but Alice and Minagi seemed full of energy.

Then everyone started to hear a sweet singing voice drifting across the sea, Luka was becoming a little drowsy, while Alice and Minagi were unaffected and the rest were just ghosts, so they were immune too.

Selena: ...Everyone, run into the ship. This is a job for the travelers, right?

Luka: Y..Yes!

Solo was getting annoyed from the song and woke up with a frown on his face, then he looked in the sea and noticed a Siren, who was singing.

Solo: SHUT THE FUCK UP!! IT'S FUCKING MORNING!!

The scream made the Siren yelp from fear and flew away as fast as she could, everyone who didn't knew Solo, which were all women ghosts, looked at him as if he was an alien, while Luka, Alice and Minagi sighed.

Solo: Fuck this shit, I'll turn back to sleep…

Then Solo sat down once again and started sleeping.

[some days later]

They found the Selene's ship, and they were deciding who would come.

Selena: It's dangerous, so we should only let a select few board the ship. Luka, you're coming aren't you?

Luka: Of course!

Alice was thinking about it since it was a ghost ship, until Solo sighed and said.

Solo: Alice, stay here, I will go...

Alice: A-Alright, since you said so… I'll stay here… I-It's not because I'm scared of ghosts or anything…

Luka, Solo and Minagi sighed, and the latter turned to Selena.

Minagi: I'll stay here too, since Solo is going, then there is no problem with anything.

Selena raised an eyebrow at her words before she shrugged and walked with Luka and Solo inside the ghost ship.

When they stepped in the ghost ship, they felt a strange sensation.

Solo: A barrier?

Luka: What for…?

Solo: I think it is against evil…

Luka: But we managed to walk through the barrier with no issue though, so it's fine isn't it?

Solo: It seems it is designed to contain instead of keeping it out. Maybe it's used to contain whatever the Calamity Box had in.

Then Solo extended an hand where the barrier should be, and felt as if he was touching a wall.

Solo: Still, it is easily breakable with a normal cero… Or a strong punch.

Selena: Captain Selene created it, after opening the Calamity Box and waking it up… Selene used a treasure we found by chance, the 'Jewel of the Rotten World'. She used it to create a barrier to separate this ship from the outside world, to make sure that it never managed to escape to the outside…

Luka: What is 'it'?

While Luka was questioning Selena, Solo just stomped on something, which was revealed to be a starfish girl, and killed it immediately.

Solo: We will find it out soon, Selena, it should be at the Captain's Room, right?

Selena: Yes, it's there.

Solo: Ok, I'll go, you guys can follow me…

Selena: You can't beat it alone…

Solo: And you don't know me, let me go.

Selena sighed and she, Luka and Alice followed him in the Captain's Room.

Later, Solo and the others were in front of the door, and Solo had a disgusted face.

Solo: What the fuck is that thing…

Even if his Pesquisa could sense only souls and magic, at this distance he could clearly see what it is inside, and was clearly disgusted about it.

Selena: It is the monster that got out from the Calamity Box.

Solo: Fuck this shit, you should have called an exterminator, not an hero. 'Well, they are just at 8th Espada level, manageable even for Luka'

Luka: Eh? What is inside?

Selene disappeared from their vision, but Solo could clearly see her in her ethereal form, Solo sighed and kicked down the door, to reveal 3 monsters that looks like flies.

Beelzebubs: Oh… You two are the little soldiers that pirate hired… The kid seem quite delicate for a hero… But the other.../

Yeah, the other one is really handsome. But the kid is awfully cute. That face just makes me want to tease him./

In the end, humans are only tools for us to breed. Their only worth lies in the semen we can bring out.

Luka: Wh...Who the heck are you…?

Solo: I think they are just flies… Who cares, they will not exist anymore within some minutes…

Solo extended a palm towards them and a scarlet glow came out from it.

Solo: Cero.

Then a big scarlet beam came out from it, surprising the 3 monsters, which were disintegrated the next moment.

Luka: ...It was easy…

Solo: Meh…

Then Solo found the Purple Orb in a shelf and picked it up.

Solo: We can go out now…

Luka: Alright.

Then Solo and Luka walked out from the Captain's Room and reached the deck of the ship, there were Selena and her crew.

Selena: thank you, Solo, Luka. Thanks to you, those horrible abominations have been destroyed… Well, the Captain's Room too, but who cares about a ghost ship...

Solo: Well, are you sure you are just a crew member of Selene? Your names are awfully similar…

Selene: So you knew about it too… When did you find out?

Solo: I had some suspicions when you introduced yourself and told us what you need help for. And if you really want to leave it a secret then just pick another name… Who cares, you and the rest of the crew will end in my stomach…

Then Solo used Gonzui, and sucked in all the ghost sailors immediately.

At the end, he stopped using it and turned to Luka.

Solo: Well, we got the last orb, now it's time to turn back.

Luka nodded and followed Solo until they were in front of the barrier, Solo took a deep breath before putting himself in a punching pose, and threw a fist, the barrier cracked all the way, and broke down. Then the duo walked back to the normal ship, meeting with Alice and Minagi.

Alice: So you killed them?

Solo: Yeah, but why they needed to be sealed? They were really weak.

Minagi: It was because the most scary thing about them is their reproductive powers, the could easily breed to 100'000 or 1'000'000 in a matter of weeks.

Solo: *Whistle* That is pretty dangerous, then we were lucky to finding only 3 of them.

Alice: 3? Then the rest must have died, letting only the strongest ones…

Solo shrugged and thanks to Alice, who seemed to know how to sail a ship, they turned back at the port safely.
