Black Bone Tower Part 11

Previous: Black Bone Tower Part 10

The crowd went absolutely ape! They were chanting Chio's name, and even though he was not especially fond of large crowds, he had to admit the praise felt pretty good. He even high fived a few of the crowd members on his way up. As he approached the balcony seats, he could hear one laugh through all of them. He walked into their room, and everyone patted him on the back, high fived him, but  then he heard that laugh again. "Kajikajikajikaji." He looked over to his side to see Usagi.

Usagi: Kajikajikajikaji! [Holding her hand to her mouth, obviously trying to stifle the laugh, but failing.]

Chio smiled, and Usagi's face turned a very dark shade of red. That was when Rinji came up, and started mock punching Chio on the arm.

Rinji: Mewhahahahaha! I knew you had it in ya! One good punch, straight on the noggin! Loved it! That's my boy!

Announcer: Alright folks! That's all for tonight! Tomorrow, at 7 am sharp, the tournament will go on head strong! Now for the big question! Who is going to be our two contestants for tomorrow's big starter! Well, folks, sleep well tonight, knowing it could be any one of them! Good fight, good night!

That was when all of the pirates dispersed, and began to head back to their ships for the night. Bartenders did their last call, stands began cleaning up their messes, and all of the performers began counting their tip money that they started to accumulate.

Rinji: Alright! We won all of our matches! Headed off by our cute little cook [Put arms around Alice and hugged her.] dear, sweet Alice!

Alice: [Laughing] Captain, why thank you.

Rinji: Get some rest, we're not out of the woods yet.
