Third Person Point of View When Owari aimed the gun at Arata’s head. ___________________________ “My name is Luke Formis, the Royal Messenger of the Kingdom. And I am pleased to inform you that backup has arrived! We are tasked by King Rowan himself to aid you into battle. On our way, we met Wexi, your personal scout and bodyguard, investigating this area. To think you’ve managed to defeat Captain Arata by yourself… and even got the treasure. Truly spectacular, milord! King Rowan will be delighted to see your accomplishments.” “Do you perhaps want to kill the pirate…? It would be better if we can keep him alive for interrogations, Duke Owari.” Luke stood in the middle, together with his army of elite loyal soldiers working for King Rowan from the Kingdom. They were tasked to kill any pirate on sight. But they were also told that if a battle would take place, Owari would be in charge of them. Still, the words of the King would remain absolute Luke and his people travelled on a boa
Third Person Point of ViewWhen Owari aimed the gun at Arata’s head.___________________________“It’s not too late to retract everything, Owari. We can leave it as is, if you-...”Owari clicked his tongue and crossed his shoulders. “Look. I’ve already made up my mind. And there’s nothing that will change that.”Luke could only stare directly at Owari’s eyes before nodding. With one wave of his hand, Luke had commanded his troops to fall back and prohibited them from fighting Owari. There was no point in exchanging blows. And even if they could, Owari would just obliterate them, and Luke and his allies would just waste their time and their lives.The magical prowess Owari possessed was enough to drive the messenger and his people away. Luke vowed that he would return to the Kingdom and inform King Rowan about the defiance Owari had made. But the mayor of the Honeywood town didn’t fret as he watched the messenger walk away.Wexi and the rest of Owari’s loyal comrades watched the entire
With the treasure in his hand, Owari immediately went to his laboratory and prepared the necessary chemicals to concoct a perfect potion for Kirameki, Owari’s sister. Kirameki laid down on the bed inside the laboratory, while Owari rested on the vacant room, not far from where Owari was. Rex, Owari’s son, was also instructed to stay inside his room and wait for further announcements by his father. He couldn’t help but peek through the place. But Rex, despite being a child, knew this was Kirameki’s privacy. And the wonder boy understood that… his father was tending to their needs, and appearing in the middle of the process would either slow Owari down or would cause an uproar.Amidst of it all, Owari self-contemplated about what had happened on that island. If it had not been for his son reminding him about what his older brother said, Owari would’ve already killed Arata, Kirameki, and the rest of the pirates. But here he was, tending the wounds of those who tried to kill. And Owari w
“My name is Margarette. It’s a pleasure meeting you, Duke Owari.”This time, Owari was in a good mood. Not because Margarette had ballistics resting on her chest, but because… she was a pirate. And Owari also wished to converse with one and to understand what was running inside their head. If only Wurn spared some time, he would have also invited him for a cup of tea. But… he had places to be.However, Margarette was the one who insisted on being a guest in the municipal hall. Thus, Owari accepted the offer and allowed Margarette to step inside the lobby and wait for the servants to fetch their tea while the two exchanged words.“I do not wish to beat around the bush, so what is the purpose of your visit, Margarette? I know that Azure, Francoise, and Tommy should be the ones talking to me. But why did they send you? I am not one to judge, but I want to not waste both of our time, especially mine… since those people I have mentioned could also visit me and ask the same thing. If you’re
It had been a long day for Owari. And he had still finished what he had started. Owari was planning to extract the juice of the Lunar Blessing herb, create a potion with an easy-to-understand blueprint so anyone could create it… And most importantly, Owari was planning to invent a new potion that could cure any sickness in the world. But this would be one time use only. And it was for Arata’s sister, Kirameki.Despite the hours he had spent with the messengers and Margarette, Owari headed back to his unit. As the sun went down, Owari closed the door from his laboratory and continued his experiments. Beside him was Kirameki, whom he had brought inside for testing. The invention was nearly complete. So instead of wasting any more time, Owari wished to create the perfect medicine without any side effects from the plant. Owari knew this plant was a troublesome herb. Not only was the botanical product limited in use, Owari only had one chance to create the perfect medicine. And he was on
Third Person Point of ViewBack to the present where Arata is found inside a hospital, wounded, but recovering. _______________“In addition, you were this close to killing me. Even if you were about to fall, you still hesitated… and ended up letting me go. Your body became vulnerable. And you knew that was going to happen. You knew that if you didn’t kill me that day, I would’ve already taken you out… You somehow gave me a chance - and I don’t know if it was because your sister and my son were watching me… or it’s because you’re a human being, just like the rest of us. So if you’ve saved me, I will save you and your people too.”“Going back, your sister, Kirameki, pleaded for your life. I knew I shouldn’t give you a chance, since I have made an enemy out of the Kingdom. And yet I’ve helped not only you but your sister as well.” Owari then handed Arata a potion akin to the medicine bottle they had back from Earth. “Now, give this to your sister before I can change my mind.”Arata sta
After Arata gave out the medicine and watched her sister drink it all, Kirameki fought her eyes from closing and dropping together. This was a side-effect, Owari thought, as she watched her sister fall fast asleep. Arata couldn’t help but to use his system and appraise the illness Kirameki had. Before, Kirameki’s condition worsened her body. And it crippled her. But soon after his little sister consumed the antidote Owari had made, Arata could see that her stats had increased as well as her mana and health points. Although health points were considered as confusing in that world, since people would die if they would be stabbed in the chest, it still served as an indication that some parts of the person would still be okay. At least, that was what Arata had thought. “A sign that’s increasing is always a good sign… It can’t be that bad, right…. Right?” Even though Arata was talking to himself, he waited for an audience. But the best thing he could ever talk to was a brick wall and hi
“So you’re saying… we have to fight the Kingdom while fighting Captain Blackbeard?” asked Arata. “Did you become the enemy of the Kingdom?”Although Arata wasn’t a bright person compared to Owari, he knew what exactly might have happened with Owari and the Kingdom. It didn’t take long before Arata discovered that Owari helping the pirate was a taboo in the Kingdom, and nobody would accept that kind of action. This wasn't a free world. And the people were governed by more powerful individuals seated on their thrones, thinking they were the most righteous of them all.Owari slightly nudged his head, telling Arata his answers.Arata looked at the window. His eyes stretched far and wide, witnessing the same scene that Kirameki and him had watched. It was the soldiers and the pirates playing with the children of the town, without a hint of madness in their souls. This city reminded him about the world they had lived in back in the day where peace occurred and was taken for granted.Owari f
