Chapter 24 - Arriving in the Organ Islands

After finishing their meal, Shun went back to his room and after traveling for a few hours they finally reached the vicinity of the Organ Islands.

"We're back, I hope everyone is okay" Said Toma worried as he looked at the island in the distance.

"Yes I'm worried that Silk got into trouble" Chihiro added.

"That girl is always getting into trouble I hope she didn't piss off any pirates" Said one of the young men, his name was Ralph he was 18 the same age as Chihiro.

"Try to dock in a place where Gally's pirates won't see us, if they see us they will know something is wrong since their ship came back too fast" Said Shun who had already been warned that they were close by.

"Ok, leave it to me" Replied the other young man whose name was Jack, who was in his early 20s being the oldest of the group.

It was kind of weird for a 14-year-old to give instructions to a 20-year-old but after hearing Shun's stories, he knew he was not a normal kid and he had great strength, so he didn't bother them and especially since he had saved them. And it was up to him to save their village from Gally and his pirates.

"Do you know in which part of the village Gally's pirates settled?" asked Shun.

"Mm, we don't know because when they took us prisoner they still didn't decide which part of town they were going to stay in" Chihiro replied.

"Before they settled down we were already behind bars traveling to an island to be sold as slaves" added Ralph in an angry tone recalling the scene where Gally's pirates murdered several villagers and imprisoned them.

"Luckily we met Shun-chan who saved us by teaching those pirates a lesson" Hana said with a look of admiration on her face. Hana was about 16 years old.

At first, she was a little afraid of Shun, but after they ate together and she asked him things her fear went away. Besides, Shun was a little younger than her and he had Po as a friend, so she trusted someone who had an animal as a friend more.

*Shun-chan?* Shun thought to himself Shun with a strange look on his face.

"I don't do to save them or anything like that, I just want Gally's reward" Shun replied.

Although he felt some empathy for Toma and the others, his intention was not to save them he was just passing through, and once he left the island another pirate may fall and do the same.

At such an answer from Shun, Hana nor anyone else knew what to say and an uncomfortable atmosphere remained.

In addition to getting the money, he wanted to know what was his strength compared to a pirate of 5,000,000 million reward, to know a little more about the strength that Eldorrago could have.

After a while, they managed to dock in an area further away from the town where the pirates were. And they had to walk a stretch until they reached the village, "You stay on the ship, your footsteps are too noisy" said Shun to Po.

Po strangely understood what Shun said and nodded reluctantly as he went to a room on the ship to sleep.

...

Not far from where Shun and the others disembarked in a large mansion with large grounds, there was a large crowd of people gathered.

"Damn old man, if this brat doesn't pay the weekly fee in 2 days we'll hang her in the village to learn!" Said a pirate who was sitting on a crate and around him were several other pirates.

"Gally please give us a little more time, 2 days is too little and Silk is just a girl she can't raise that much money" Said the old man who was kneeling in front of the pirate group.

This old man was the mayor of Orange village, where Toma and the others live. Next to him was a blonde girl of about 16 years old also kneeling. This girl's expression was one of fury rather than fear.

"Boodle asshole pay him yourself, you're the mayor GARAGARA for a reason" Gally said while laughing strangely.

Gally is a middle-aged pirate, his height is tall and his hair is already turning gray. His distinguishing mark is his crescent moon mustache. He dresses in the typical attire of a pirate captain.

"Besides we didn't hang her yet because I pay a part of the fee, otherwise she would be dead by now, I am a merciful being" Gally added with a smile.

"¡That's right captain hahaha!"

"¡Never in my life have I seen such a godly being hahaha!"

All of Gally's crew started to laugh out loud at their captain's sayings as if what they were doing was something funny.

Counting Gally and his crew they were 10 in total, he had sent another 10 to carry out the sale of slaves, as they did not consider this town a threat.

"Bastard-" The young woman was about to say something but Mayor Boodle put a hand over his mouth shutting her up.

"Silk don't say anything or you will make the situation worse" Boodle said with a serious expression while whispering to her.

"Leave this matter to me, I will find a solution" He added with a kind smile.

Boodle is an old man in his 60's, he has long white hair. He wears a yellow shirt and wears glasses. He cares a lot about his town and the people who live there, enough to risk his own life for his people.

"It's okay mayor" Silk replied trusting the old man.

Silk was a 16 year old girl, she has long blonde hair and brown colored eyes. She dresses in a dark blue short-sleeved t-shirt and wears shorts with light brown and gray plaid.

She is a very protective girl and considers her village as a treasure, she had to pay the fee that Gally imposed, but she preferred to give it to other villagers who did not have the money.

"Ok old man, I'll give you a whole week so you can pay, but if they don't get the money before they kill her, the whole crew will try that girl GARAGARA" Gally said with an evil look on his face as he laughed.

"Oh, that's a good idea captain hahaha."

"Let me try her out the first captain"

"You bastard why would you go first, I'll go first!"

After Gally digested that, the pirates around him started to argue gleefully about being able to test a young girl.

*H-how can they be so wicked...?* Boodle thought with a desperate look on his face.

Hearing this, Silk's angry expression changed to one of helplessness and fear.

...

Shun, Toma, and the others had already disembarked and were walking through a forest.

"So this path leads to the entrance of the village?" Shun asked.

"Yes I doubt the pirates are at the entrance to the village" Toma replied.

"Most likely they are at Mr. Octavio's mansion since it is the most luxurious and spacious place for several people" Jack added.

Shun raised an eyebrow in doubt.

"Mr. Octavio is the richest man in town, he has large amounts of land and he is the one who gives most of the jobs" Said Chihiro answering Shun's doubt.

"Well, when we get to the entrance of the village we have to ask where Gally's pirates are without attracting attention" Shun said.

"After that, I will head alone to the location of the pirates" He added.

"But Shun-san is very dangerous-"

"They'll just be a hindrance" Shun interrupted.

"F-fine..."

Shun knew from what the others told him that there were about 20 pirates in total counting Gally and he already eliminated half of them so he didn't see them as much of a threat.

Only their captain Gally could become a threat, but he still didn't quite know how much strength a 5,000,000 belly reward pirate had.

Of the rest of the pirates he is only worried that they use hostages, so he plans to act quickly so that they do not have time to take them, although his goal is not to save them if he can avoid casualties of innocent people he will do it.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the village, this village had a population of 50 inhabitants, even so, they were no match for 20 armed pirates and 2 of them with a total reward of 7,200,000 bellys.

In front of the entrance of the village Toma, Chihiro, Jack, Hana, Ralph, and the boy put on an expression with many emotions sadness, anger, helplessness, hatred, etc.

This was because several corpses were hanging at the entrance.

"Damn! Why?" said Toma as he knelt on the ground and pounded his fists against the earth.

Chihiro, Hana, and the boy were crying; Jack and Ralph had angry expressions.

"We must get justice for them!" Jack said angrily.

"Justice?" whispered Shun to himself as he walked towards the entrance of the village.

He began to remember that in the Kingdom of Frauce, there was great poverty, and the Queen and the other nobles agreed to make deals with pirates when she would have to defend his subjects.

*If there is no justice from those who should exercise it, then I will do justice* Shun thought with a cold look on his face as he entered the village.

After a few minutes, Toma and the others pulled themselves together and quickly followed Shun.
