After many long hours of traveling Yanga and Melissa finally made their arrival at Houtbay Island ,the boat docked at the port of Middle town. " Well ,this is where we part ways...It was nice getting to know you ,the boat is yours as promised." Yanga says getting of the boat ," Thank you!...not just for the boat but for saving my life too." She says and he nods with a smile as response.
Yanga walked his way to a nearby bar to acquire some information, the bar was half filled with people he reached for a chair at the bar table , " What can I get ya !? " The bartender asked.
"A glass of your finest whiskey please." He responded. The bar lady reached for a glass and fixed him up a drink of whiskey as he requested.
" I'm looking for someone...I'm wondering if you can help me out ? " He said grabbing the glass taking a sip , the lady did not respond to him the bar was noisy as ever and she pretended to not hear him due to the noise, Yanga flipped a coin of five zenny at the table " Who are you looking for ? " She asked ,Yanga described the person he was in search of and got the information he wanted at the cost of a few more silver ennies.
" What a waste of fifty ennies...this person is not even in this town."
Yanga mumbles in disappointment. " It's all that old pricks fault !, when I see him I'm gonna get my money back for sending me the wrong location." Pissed he continued blubbering to himself heading to a bus stop heading to Up town.
After thirty minutes of traveling by public transportation he finally reached Up town but still had to walk for ten minutes to reach the hills. " With all this traveling if arrive at this place and his not there...I'm gonna lose it." He said kicking stones to let out his frustration, finally he comes face with the place he was looking for at last.
Inside the warehouse, Asa and Kai were chatting about the possibility of the previous guys returning. " They will come back like they always do and I'll deal with them like I always do... that's the cost of competing with these merchants." Kai explained to Asa seemingly not bothered by it, like it was an everyday thing. Whilst continuing their chat a figure appears from afar.
" Please be the right place." speaking to himself, Yanga finally reached the workhouse and opens the door, the little bell by the door makes a sound alerting Kai and Asa , " You stay here I'll go check who it is..." He said standing up ," What if it's them ? " She asked. " Nah, it's too quite. If it was them they would've made a big fuss about now."
" Hello ! ... anybody here ?" Yanga asked while scanning the place out. " Can I help you with something ?" Kai asked appearing out of the backroom. " Yeah I'm looking for someone I was wondering if you can help me find him ...I'm looking for a guy named Kai ? "
Yanga informed standing next to the counter which was facing opposite the door. " Who's looking for him ? "
As soon as Kai asked sounds of engines could be head coming from approaching vehicles and Kai immediately knew it meant trouble.
" The person you searching for is not here...Now if you can excuse me I have customers to take care of and if you don't want to inherit whatever mess they bring I'll suggest you leave immediately." Kai said to Yanga as he reaches under the counter to take out two hammers.
"They must be nasty customers to be welcomed like that, you do understand that those are about... 14 vehicles coming this way and lot of people. " Yanga says following Kai outside.
Kai looked at him a bit surprised. " You a hunter... I should've figured." Kai said.
" You don't seem that much surprised ,you must be a trained hunter yourself. " Yanga countered back.
" You must be the guy I'm looking for, now that I look more closely you look almost exactly as you did in the image I was showed."
As soon as Kai head that, Yanga had a hammer stopped directly at his neck.
" Who are you ? , Who sent you ? and what do you want with me ?" Kai asked with a bit of range in his tone and veins his face.
" Easy I'm a friend of Old man Wang... rings a bell ? His a business friend of a "friend" he recommended me to come see you after a little chat we had that's all." Yanga responded with his hands in the air as a sign of surrender.
" Another one ?.. No!. Kai said dropping his hammer.
" Wait no! ?..What does that mean you haven't even heard my proposal yet." Yanga argued.
" Let me guess, please make me an armour strong enough to go on a dungeon raid and I'll make it a while for you when I return or please join my guild party and we'll give half of what we gain...
I'm not interested." Kai argues back pushing him back with his hammer.
" Actually I was gonna ask you to join my independent party since I'm no longer any part of a guild. " Yanga said. " That's even worse !!!. " Kai responded with more range.
" Okay how about this , I'll help take down these guys...by my self, if by any means I needed your help I'll be your servant for a month but if I succeed you'll travel with me for a month...how about it ? " Yanga suggested.
" I know you can feel the Ether radiating, there's about hundreds of C rank hunters approaching and a single C rank have enough Attack potency to destroy a moon. I've fought a C rank beast before so I know exactly what I'm talking about, you might have what it takes to take them out but what of the person hiding in that room and in this entire Island along the neighbouring ones. The destruction that's to happen will by no doubt destroy this island and cause big tremors that'll affect other Islands. Yanga continued.
Kai Sighs at the thought and said " Fine deal." and as soon as they shake on it the noises that we getting louder and louder finally made an appearance as Seven four doors armoured overloaded vehicles and Seven overloaded armoured buses arrived.
A tall melanine man dressed all blue from Jacket, pants to his boots came out in one of those vehicles.
" Hello boys !, allow me to introduce my self , I'm Paul...heard of me ?.
The man spoke with a masculine calm tone of voice, smoking a cigar.
" Your the leader of the small Blue whale guild, I've heard of your latest dungeon raid." Yanga said.
" Fantastic !, then you must also know that us small guilds have reputation to raise and if I were to let nobodies like your selves do whatever to my guild mates , it'll harm the one I have gained so far... So here's what we gonna do , you *Pointing at Kai* will work for us for a couple of months to make up for harming my guys..." As he was about to continue Yanga cuts him of by saying, " Sorry but... that's not gonna happen , I already called dibbs so ... try another one."
" Boys ! this one talks a bit to much , I don't want a lot from Him just his tongue and one of his legs will do." Paul ordered and five of his over hundred people he brought wasted no time to jump at Yanga. Unexpectedly they were brutally sent back with the same momentum they came at him with.
" That's interesting , your a hunter yourself ... Whales ! make it hurt." Paul gave another order again but this time all the people he brought raced towards Yanga.
Kai who stood there watching as he was a bit taken back with Yanga's courage to charge forward the overwhelming number coming at him.
A barrier suddenly covered the entire area and as soon as the first ones were to engage Yanga disappeared right before their eyes only for a fist to directly show up at Paul's face. " W..what th... " Confused as many of them were at Yanga disappearance a loud bang was heard from the back of the crowd , Paul was lying unconscious at the last buss as he was sent busting through them one by one as they were parked.
" One of the many lessons I was taught , is to always go after the strongest one if I can get through him .. the rest will lose morale and will to fight."
The seventeen year old said with a smirk on his face, the crowd was shocked and confused, not only was the man who was stronger and leading them taken out but it was done so with a single punch.
" W...wait, wait what there hell happened ? " One asked.
" How did that just happened ? He was right Infront of us." The others followed.
" Come down ,it's only one of him and about 150 of us C ranks we can take him."
One guy yelled out and the others started listening and getting their heads together casting aside fear and doubt.
" Well !, seems it's time to enforce lesson two." Yanga said as he leaps many meters high aiming at the center of the crowd, on his way down he aimed his fist directly to the ground and as soon his fist made contact a huge shockwave blasted everyone away.
Asa who was hiding on the safe room felt the ground shaking as if it was some sort of earth quake happening, it did not only limit to the house but the entire Island.
Kai observed outside the barrier that seemed to be absorbing the shockwave from reaching out and cause unnecessary destruction.
Group by group Yanga was taking them out , not a single one was able to led a good hit ,in his eyes they were moving too slow and predictable. He was starting to wonder if what kind of dungeons did the raid as weak as they seem, or maybe he was just not realizing the extent of his own strength. Two Minutes later only Kai and Yanga remained standing.
" Well that was rather disappointing, I thought it was gonna be at least a bit of struggle." Kai said, he did not want to admit it but he was impressed and surprised as he did not expect Yanga to move the way he did.
" What rank are you ?" He then asked looking at Yanga.
" Sail with me and found out." Yanga responded.
