Great speech is a type of art

"Heh, Tyke huh. We're pirates, we can handle ourselves."

Seeing them both sporting a confident smile on their face, Tyke turned to the men surrounding them who had just finished discussing.

"Alright then Bulldog, we decided. You're gonna die here along with them, kekeke."

Tyke frowned as the yellow gang member who spoke pulled out a gun. Looking around, he saw that even though not everyone had one, there were quite a few. As he was thinking how he would break out of the encirclement, he heard Tom and Jerry talk.

"Oh are those guns?"

"Looks like it Tom-san."

"Nyahaha, wow so scary man."

"Right, I'm literally shaking for my life."

Seeing the two mocking them, the gang members were infuriated and thought of shooting the small one first. Before they could act on it though, they saw both of them reaching out behind them and pulling two big cylindrical things.

They were quite surprised and shocked at that, as they did not understand where those two things had come from. Even Tyke standing next to them had no clue as he looked at them with a shocked face. Before he could try and ask Jerry started speaking.

"These are called bazookas, remember it. If you survive that is."

*BOOM*

***************

While Tom and Jerry took care of most of their pursuers, the mayor was visited by the three bosses of red, blue and yellow gangs. Ron, Saul and Paul.

All three of them were former pirates who had come to this island intending to just stay for a while and inform their crew of an opportunate moment to strike, but unfortunately they did not manage to get a hold of them when they tried to.

Hearing about pirate ships and their crews alike disappearing around Hemet island, they started entertaining that perhaps theirs was also an unfortunate victim.

They stayed and integrated into the island for a while, seeing if they could reach out to their pirate crew but it seemed to yield no results. Yo-ho island saw an increase in economy as no pirates attacked them, seeing that, the three who were former criminals made easy work of creating their gangs and getting members for them as they just had to tempt some of the greedier people first. They just forced others to join when they grew a little.

Now they were easily stronger than the mayor and held more sway than him. The only reason they had not taken over the small town and island along with it were because they were trying to entice Tyke to join them. It turned out to be a futile effort so they decided to get rid of him.

They had come to the mayor's house to either take him hostage or kill him depending on the situation. Ron, the leader of the red gang started talking.

"Well mayor, have you come to a decision on our deal?"

".....there's still time for that, right?"

"That was before you went around trying to get some 'pirates' to help you out."

The mayor was relieved that his hastily thought up plan was somewhat working after hearing Saul. As he was about to refute their accusation with an expression of indignation on his face, Paul interrupted,

"Well it's not like the stupid deal matters anyway."

".....What do you mean?"

"Heh, it means that we got your boy."

'How is that possible?!'

The mayor was extremely shocked when he heard Saul say that, with the trio of criminals taking pleasure after seeing that.

"Haha, our guys found your boy along with those two 'pirates' you brought." (Ron)

"Anytime now and we'll hear." (Saul)

"Hear what?" (Mayor)

"Keke, what else? The death of your boy!" (Paul)

As soon as he heard that, the mayor collapsed thinking of the worst. As he was spiraling into bad thoughts, they heard something, only it was not what they thought.

*BOOM*

"What the hell?" (Ron)

"That sounds like a cannon…" (Saul)

"I don't think those pirates' ship had any?" (Paul)

"...It's fine, we have 'insurance' after all." (Ron)

The trio turned towards the mayor with a murderous glare. Not wanting to be used as a hostage he tried to reach out for one of their knives. It turned out to be a futile effort, as he was quickly subdued.

***************

"Tch, so much for taking us out huh."

"Hehe, these guys are idiots Tom-san. Just like how they look."

Seeing the two pirates talk normally after blowing up the assailants, Tyke had sweat dropping.

"You two…"

"Told you right, we can handle ourselves."

"...Alright, you two are capable but you should still leave. They will keep coming."

Even though Tyke was trying to be nice with what he said, it seemed to have the complete opposite effect as Tom pointed at him and said,

"That's it! I've had enough! I don't like people telling me what to do!"

"...."

Tyke frowned at Tom who was causing a ruckus. Is he going to show his true colors, was what he thought, when he became stumped at what came out of Tom the next moment.

"Since you keep telling me to go, I'm gonna stay right here! Actually, I'll keep following you! Let's see how you deal with that, huh!"

"...You can not possibly be that childish."

"Heh, try me."

Looking at Tom who had an evil smile on his face, Tyke turned to Jerry to ask if Tom was serious but was met with a thumbs up from the boy as he said,

"Thanks! I haven't had enough fun on the island yet!"

These guys must be crazy, was what Tyke thought as he turned and tried to go to his home.

'Tried' because he stopped a lot to look behind him to see the two following him, one with a mean face and the other who seemed too happy for no reason. There was only one thought running through his head while he made his way back.

'Should I hit them?'

***************

Reaching the center of the town, Tyke tried to ignore the two following who were talking to each other.

"Oi, why are you so excited? Didn't we come here already?"

"Yes, but you didn't let me have a proper look."

"Huh, what's there to look? It's pretty much the same as Hemet."

"You can't understand man's romance, Tom-san."

"Stop trying to act sagely by calling yourself a man pipsqueak."

"Don't call me a pipsqueak! I'm still growing!"

"Pfft okay."

Tom and Jerry stopped their conversation when they saw Tyke suddenly charge into a building. Looking at each other in confusion, they followed him and found him looking at a letter that was pinned to the wall with a knife.

Tearing it off the wall, Tyke gave it another read, but he knew it wouldn't become fake if he kept doing it. Letting out a sigh, he turned and left while saying,

"I'm heading to the gangs' hideout now. You can follow me if you want but I still recommend you to leave."

Looking at Tyke's back as he left, Tom said,

"This bastard's still telling me what to do."

"And look at him Tom-san, trying to act all cool by leaving right after saying it….. So we're following him right."

"Of course, there's probably something interesting bound to happen. I can smell it."

They looked at each other with evil smiles, thinking about what's about to come next. Meanwhile, outside the house, Tyke started gathering able bodied men who volunteered to fight against the gangs.

'So they're not coming? That's good for them then.'

Giving a glance at his house, he turned around to everyone that he was able to gather and decided to give a speech to motivate them.

"Let's beat them out of the island."

"...."

Seeing the expressionless faces of the people gathered in front of him, Tyke thought that it was probably due to the nerves. Just when he was about to walk off, he heard someone talk behind him.

"Eh Tom-san, what is that supposed to be?"

"I don't know, but what I do know is that the stupid kid back at our orphanage can do better than this guy."

"Isn't that too harsh Tom-san? The stupid kid tried to eat his own hand a few times, surely Tyke-san is smarter than that."

"Maybe, but who are we to judge if he isn't stupid?"

As looked at the two whose whispers were loud enough for most to hear, Tyke walked towards them with an irritated look.

"What the hell are you two doing?"

Jumping up in shock as if they didn't expect him to approach them, Jerry answered him with a shit-eating grin.

"Well, there's no way we're gonna miss out on all the fun that's about to happen."

"...Fun? What fun are you talking about?"

As Tyke said that, he noticed Tom had taken his place from when he gave his speech. As he was about to go and pull him down, Tom took a deep breath and started speaking with a serious expression.

"People of Yo-ho, you must understand why we are gathered here today. We are gathered not to fight, but to reclaim what was took from us, our peaceful lives."

"...."

As Tyke saw Tom start a speech, all he could think was when did the gangs take anything from Tom as he had arrived just yesterday.

"How much suffering have they put us through? Is there even anyone on this island they left alone? They've even got the mayor now. It's us today, it'll be our children tommorrow."

"...."

Tyke could only watch on with a dumbfounded expression as the people started getting riled up over what Tom was saying.

"How much longer will we let them threaten hundreds of us with just dozens of them?! This ends today! Who shall march with me to their hideout and take back our lives?!"

""ME!!!""

Tyke got shocked with the big shout that came from the locals. He had only thought when he saw that.

'I never got that kinda response.'

"No one shall suffer anymore!! We won't live in fear anymore!!"

""OOOOHHHH!!!""

Tyke shock only grew as he watched even more people joined in.

"Today marks the day when we take our destiny into our own hands! Let's go!"

Tom started running and was followed by the numerous people who had arrived by then. Tyke tried calling out to them, but the only one who could even hear him was the oldest person that lives on the isalnd, who was wobbling forward with crutches, trying to keep up with the crowd.

"Heh, forget about stopping them, Tyke-san. Let's go too, we wouldn't want to miss the decisive battle."

Tyke looked at Jerry, who was the only one still left while trying to act cool and said,

"They're going the wrong way."

"...."

The decisive battle would have to wait.
