Ch. 126

"I have good news and a bad news." Xyrus said to America who became happy at first but that happy turned into a sad one when she heard that there is a bad news.

"The bad news?" America decided to hear the bad news first.

"One of your parents was sold as a slave." The moment she heard this, anger spread on her face as she started to feel angry at herself for causing this while at the same time, fear was also hinted on her face as she feared on what has happened on her parent.

"T-the good news?" She stuttered as she can't imagine that her parent was now suffering somewhere because of her.

"She's still alive and your other parent wasn't sold as a slave, so she must be somewhere in this world."

When she heard the word 'She's still alive' America sighed in relief and directly asked Xyrus.

"Where is she? I need to save her!"

"Calm down. I already know where she is, but first, we should leave first, someone is coming." Xyrus could already sense countless marines and bodyguards rushing right in their position.

He grabbed America's hand and disappeared from there, leaving nothing but a headless celestial dragon.

"It's here! I heard someth-." The marine officer didn't managed to finish his sentence when he saw a headless body on the ground.

Everyone who came also saw this and their eyes widened in shock and followed by fear.

"W-w-who dare to do this? T-t-this is a celestial dragon!!" The marine officer can't help but exclaim in shock.

"Report this to the five elders!" Meanwhile, somewhere hidden in the shadows, two people wearing white suits and a mask also sweated and directly ordered the other man.

Both of them just arrived after hearing some screams, but it looks like they were too late.

"Yes." The other man nodded and disappeared from his place.

"Immediately block the exits and entrance of Mariejois, the perpetrator must have not gone too far." He also disappeared from his place but before he did that, he gave an order to a Vice Admiral who solemnly nodded.

This matter is big, and once it reaches the ears of the five elders, then he's afraid that the whole Mariejois will be on lockdown, and no one gets in and out until the perpetrator is caught.

Meanwhile, the said perpetrators was inside a dark basement and almost everywhere you can see tools made for torture.

There were also some blood and dead bodies everywhere.

"I'm afraid this is the torture room of that celestial dragon." Xyrus said as he looked around in disgust.

Earlier, he found out the celestial dragon who bought America's parent, and after reading his mind and taking his soul away for punishment purposes, they arrived at this dark and cold basement.

"I could still feel her breathing, but I'm afraid that if we delay any longer, then she'll die. Let's hurry up." Xyrus said and disappeared on his place before reappearing again, but this time, he was holding a bloodied body that almost looked like a corpse due to loss of blood and lack of malnutrition.

"[Grand Heal]" Xyrus casted a spell on her.

The blood on her body disappeared, and her body that almost looked like a corpse returned back to her normal body.

Thanks to Grand Heal she looks fine, if it wasn't for her bloodied rag on her body, she looks almost fine as if she didn't suffer any torture.

But that's just on the surface, her mental state might be the most affected, after all, not everyone can endure being tortured for years continuously.

"I'll fix her mind right away." Xyrus said to America before the mind stone on his glove glowed.

Xyrus's conciousness appeared inside her mind, and she could see the woman huddled up on a corner, crying and begging for the man to stop.

Xyrus felt bad for her so he stomped on the ground while at the same time, casted a spell.

[Cleanse]

With this spell, the corruptions and trauma on her mentality was removed and replaced with happy thoughts and memories.

Slowly, the woman lifted up her face and looked at Xyrus in confusion, wondering who this man is.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I came here with your daughter, there's no need for you to suffer. Come with me." Xyrus said as he stretched his hand forward, gesturing her to take his hand.

"What's your name?" At the same time, he asked.

"Amalia. Amalia Chavez." She smiled and said her name before holding Xyrus's outstretched hand.

As soon as she did that, the vicinity around them vanished.

In the real world, America was frantically looking Xyrus and her mother. She just wanted to turn back time to where she hasn't awakened her powers yet.

Soon, she saw Amalia Chavez opening her eyes and looked around in excitement, probably because she knew that her daughter came for her.

"Mom." She sobbed as she immediately hugged her as soon as she sat up.

"Rica!" Amalia also hugged her back as she also cried.

In the background, Xyrus just let them feel the moment of their reunion and stood by on the sidelines.

After a few minutes, seeing that they both stopped hugging each other, America said to her mother.

"I'm so glad I- no we found you! I have so much to tell you!" When she was about to say 'I' she stopped and realized that she wasn't the only one who found her, if it wasn't for Xyrus then maybe her mother would die here alone, so she changed it to 'we'.

"Ehem. I think some guys have already found us, so you guys could continue once we got into a safe place." Xyrus decided to interrupt them when he sensed 3 5 figures rushing towards this place very fast.

*Boom!*

When they were about to prepare to leave, the entrance was blasted open and a man with a white hat and suit came in like a boss.

Beside him is a man with a long nose, two tall men wearing masks and finally, a beautiful blonde haired girl.

"Good thing that we've found you." Rob Lucci coldly said while looking at Xyrus and the rest with cold and emotionless eyes, as if he was looking at a mere bug.

"You guys must be the CP0. I suggest you leave us alone." Xyrus wasn't afraid and calmly warned them.

"Hmph." Lucci coldly harrumped before sending kicking the air and what's weird is that it produced a long energy arc.

Xyrus just held this arc on his hand as if he was holding a toy before snapping it into two.

"Is that all you've got?" Xyrus said as he faced him and the white clothed people behind him.

Lucci squinted his eyes as he didn't expect to meet a strong individual in here, but it doesn't matter, as long as he is in Mariejois, no enemy, not even Whitebeard could escape here.

Although he just got reinstated here yesterday, but he already knew how powerful Mariejois and the five elders are, so he is confident. After looking at Xyrus for a few cold seconds, he ordered.

"Kill him."
