Hugo slammed his hands on the railing and leaned forward as he looked over the intruders, his combover becoming loose as the other director stood behind him. His face was furious in frustration and contempt for those he saw in front of him "Are you all insane! This is the world government's Judicial Island! No citizen has ever even stepped foot on it! The only pirates that have crossed its path are those that were sentenced here"
"Do you have any idea what you have done! What you are doing?! All for some, woman that doesn't even deserve the life that she has taken advantage of!" His scowl deepened as the crew stood there stoically. Just staring down his and the rest of CPA
"This woman has been sentenced to death for her existence, her existence is antithetical to the peace and preservation of the freedom of all the people in the world! And by attempting to retrieve her, you are making an enemy of Everyone in the Entire World!"
"Don't you understand that!?" His words were harsh but were like they were scolding a child. But these were no children. They knew what they were doing "The sheer size of who's been after her? The Lengths that they've gone to, to make sure that she truly was the last?!"
"Beneath that flag, is the entire world!" He pointed to the large flapping and waving flag, baring the logo of the world government. A large rectangular piece of fabric that stretch almost 5 meters long "You're completely powerless!"
"Choose what you do next wisely Boy! You might still make it out of here alive!" His breath was heaving as almost the entire government island seemed to cease their movements, and watched what would happen next with bated breath. Marines and CPA running to the closest windows to watch, or looking from the streets.
"Enemies…" Leroy began. Eyes locked on Hugo. "I know her Enemies well. They're ours too. I know just what to do." He'd suspected it for so long. But he always held out a slim chance that maybe individuals would be different. But the size was out weighed by that fact.
"Jeanne." The Captain spoke again. The Markswomans attention snapping to her captain. She'd been silently in fear, but stood nonetheless. "Huh?"
"Shoot down- that flag."
"Aye aye."
Shunk! The Chamber of Jeannes new weapon slammed shut, as her hand turned to steam and overfilled the chamber. The Inventor then lifted the rifle, shouldering it and aiming through the scope "Fire! King Crimson!"
Click! Ka-Thoom! The Round shot out! The round ignited as it flew through the air! And moment later pierced through the symbol of the World! Igniting it into an astonishing blaze of bright red and orange flame! Exploding outward into a shower of sparks and embers as the pressure wave flew across the air!
...
...
Jeanne resteed her rifle, letting it hang as they all looked up to the burning symbol. Black smoke rising from its corpse. Silence filling the island as they everyone stared at what had just happened.
'Impossible…' Raven thought, as hugo sat staring only to slowly shift his gaze to Leroy. "You. You!" He shouted "What you just did! You've declared war!"
"You've declared war on the entire world!" His eyes were fearful just as before but had an absolute look of sheer and utter hatred.
'By god…'
'This can't be happening.'
"Pirates, they've done what others haven't done!"
These were words spoken by every Agent and Marine on the Judicial Island
The Next words that filled the air were from the Red Sash Captain himself "I don't care! we'll take you all on!"
"Hah…" Raven stumbled backwards, tears welling in her eyes as the words shook her very resolve. Fist clenching tight behind her to white knuckle 'This can't be…' She began to think to herself, only for the words of Leery to sound out and cause her mind to go into a frenzy
"Hugo. Perhaps now's the best time to Erase this island off the map and Invoke the Buster Call." He said with a slight smirk while looking at the groveling of Ravens turmoil.
"No! Don't! Please don't! I'll kill myself now just don't press that button!" She snapped at Hugo. "Well, the pirates are at our doorstep. Just like the Terrorist on that Island of Tovara you once called home."
The words were loud enough for the Crew to hear full well of what was going on.
"A Buster Call is the only way to ensure true eradication…"
Raven just let her hang as she stayed on her feet. Her iridescent hair covering her face as her mind began to race through everything. Every memory. Like she was on death's bed watching her life flash before her eyes…
19 Years Ago.
Tovora
A Child in a simple thin baggy t-shirt with a skull on it and shorts sat in the middle of a forest a top a rock reading. The Large book is almost too much for the small child's hands to handle.And yet her eyes eagerly and hungerly absorb all of the words printed onto the pages.
A noise from behind her causes her head to look up and turn around with a confused look.
A woman in a plain white button up and tight black pants with a choker around her neck came into view, hair it a small afro that bounces as she walked, and ended at her shoulders, loose curls almost like curled string was her hair. It was a deep green color like pine.
"Momma!" The little girl shouted as her eyes lit up and ran across the the grass and into her mothers arms.
"Hello my Little Raven!" She said lifting the child up and into her arms.
Azalea Raven, Age 9. And Azalea Iris, Age 30. "Lets get you back to the Library and I cant make you some lunch!" Iris said, tickling a finger into the neck of her daughter, causing her to crack a wide smile and roll her neck.
