《The Runes Pirate of One Piece》Chapter 7 - Determination of the Forest
Advertisement
While Eureko is waiting for the gasoline, he examines all of the surroundings, and one of the crew runs beside him "Vice-Captain Eureko!"
Even though Eureko is not the vice-captain, he needs to satisfy his ego, because of his gruesome method when a crew calls his name without respect.
He hung it to the side of the ship while submerging the legs of that unfortunate man.
Letting all of the sharks' feast while he is still conscious and screaming for mercy, he will pull the rope himself to tease the hungry red-eyed shark with an alive person struggling to the death door.
That is the first time he heard a person requesting to kill himself quickly screaming "put me down please, let them eat me now! have mercy, vice-captain!"
"Well, it's too late for that, let me enjoy your scream of despair. Don't you let us down. Perform a good death show!", Eureko licks his lips and releases the rope.
A man hanged tied in his hand to the rope, missing both of his legs dripping with blood and pouring to the tens of open shark mouths - an abyss with a hundred sharp teeth that lead to the stomach of these hungry sharks.
Many sharks were competing for the sumptuous delicacy.
"What!?", he was interrupted by a displeased question.
"Ahh sorry vice-captain, I just arranged what I'm going to report." coughing to hide his fear, he calmed himself even though his back was full of sweat and trembling in fear.
"W-we found out that there is a path that leads to the back of the island which is, all of the plant and branches that block the said escaping villagers hacked it, and the traces are still in there, but we are still unsure because the other is in on the way on determining if its really in the back of the island."
"Oh, do they escape to the back of the island? this is the first that a whole village escape from pirates, but our captain will enjoy this",

"Vice-Captain, this is the gasoline!", a pirate running with two gallons of gasoline in his arms.
"Very well! Go pour it around the forest and ignite it with fire"
"yes!", the two of the pirates help pour all of the gasoline into the first layer of the forest.
When they are almost done, one the man gets a torch and ignites it with a flame then gives a flattering smile to Eureko saying "Vice-Captain, the privilege is yours."
"Huh! at least you know your position", Eureko threw the blazing torch to the nearest tree, when the fire touched the tree - with the help of the gasoline it was engulfed with a raging flame.
Back of the spiral island
Zito looks at the big smoke, with a heavy expression he enters the steering gear that was installed by Old Geez.
Old geez is a retired marine, he experienced the disassembling of many kinds of machines in the battleship of marines and observed while they were fixing it to learn how to make it.
Even though he is not strong enough to accumulate merit to rank up, he is still a model and idol that was looked up to in the village.
He turned on the starting motor and start the steering gear, he pats the steering engine and sighs a relief
'I thought you wouldn't start immediately, though the engine is so noisy for the first time I feel relaxed hearing this. okay! the next phase of the plan'
He ran to the helm and steered it to the sea.
He looked at the many straws that model like a human with the clothes of the villagers in standby in different positions so that they will think that there are so many people in the storage ship.
'Drath Fang Pirate, What are you going to do?'
Forest
The blazing flame keeps on burning the forest, but if you look from the bird's point of view, you will see that the flame is still in the first layer and didn't dare to take another step.

Eureko, who was watching the fire, didn't notice it and just kept enjoying it. The reflection of the burning forest in his gleaming eyes reflected how he enjoyed this spectacular view.
Underground of the Forest
While all of the villagers rested in each of their places.
Old Geez leaned on the rock resting his mind, "Hey Old Shit! why the forest is not an ordinary forest?" asks of curious little Jas.
Old Geez felt helpless because of the way this little brat calling him "Well this island have a mysterious myth --"
little jas pout and interrupted him "we know it"
"Yeah, we know it!"
"Mother Riz tells us about the myth of this island", every child keeps on spraying him with their saliva.
'This little pieces of shits, I didn't even felt how these kids surrounded me'
"Well, do you know why the forest is different from other forests?", Old Geez wipe the saliva in his face and looked at the children.
All of the children quiet down to listen, he continued "Because this forest is not a forest that you can find in the land, this forest is the garden that they cultivate for their little younglings like all of you."
"In the myth, this island is submerged under the sea, and the forest that you see above us is the plant and foods for the little Fishwheel. but because of the eruptions of many undersea volcanoes, this island emerged. this plant was cultivated by shedding some of their old shells and plant it to the soil underneath of the plant and spit saliva to hard shell to melt it and the plant will absorb it.", explained the Old Geez.
"A saliva that can melt a hard shell?" one of the kid ask
"Yup! because the saliva of the FishWheel is like an acid that can melt a stone in a minute"
"The forest that absorbs millions of hard shells of adult fishwheel is not an ordinary forest. not long ago about tens of years ago when all of you are just a little shi --", he sees many pebbles and stone flying in his face.
'I can't even joke to my storytelling?', catching some of the pebbles and dodging the rest, he laughs.
"haha kidding aside, we will continue. One of the villagers plan to burn this forest not knowing why he did that, he poured tens of gallons of gasoline. after a big blazing flame engulfing almost half of the forest."
"What a wicked man!"
"Yeah! a devil!"
"I will beat him up when I see him!"
"What happens, Old shit", it's not little Jas, but another kid that called him.
'its look like my reputation to all of these kids was thrown in the sewer'
Setting aside his reputation in the sewer, he continued the story "But after almost half an hour, the blazing flame subsides but the forest is still there. All of us can't believe it and found out that all of the burnt trees, plants, fruits, everything was just burn from the outside. but the inside is still full of vitality."
"We speculate that this forest is still waiting for the little younglings to eat them, and the forest wants to raise them to its adulthood to accomplish the reason why they exist. The adult Fishwheel gave them an important mission, and they still didn't achieve it."
"How did you came up with this speculation, Old shit ?" Little jas ask cause she can't think of a reason.
Old Geez smiled and point to the pond "Do you see the pouring rain in the ceiling? if all of you thinking that it's from the river, you are wrong. It is the water accumulate by all of the trees and plants above, the forest is still giving its best to do its job - in the hope to return the favor."
