Shells: Chapter 13

Chapter 12: The Old Couple By: Lvdoomien _____________________________________________________________________________


 * After a couple weeks of sailing, the crew is getting pretty hungry. Komota is still swabbing the deck, Sake is steering the helm, and Tomas is sitting in the crow's nest with a telescope.*

Sake: So Komota, whats your dream anyway?

Komota: What's yours?

Sake: You know, what I've always wanted was a family. A real family, a wife and maybe a kid or two. I think after my sailing days are over, I'll settle down with Nellie or something. I don't know.

Komota: Then why didn't you back when we were on the Koko Islands?

Sake: I'd like to consider this a, as you would say, "bachelor party". Whats your dream buddy?

Komota: Well-

Tomas: BANANAS HO!!!

Komota: What in Gods name are you yelling about Tomas?

Tomas: I see an island with bananas and cows and coconuts and apples and old people and pigs and oranges and all kinds of good stuff!

Sake: Old people?

Komota: What?

Tomas: Sake, sail westward!

Sake: Do you know what direction that is?

Tomas: Its over there! *points south*

Sake: Komota you need to teach hm his directions. *Turns the ship westward towards a small island full of bananas and cows and coconuts and apples and old people and pigs and oranges and all kinds of good stuff.*


 * After the ship docks at the island, everyone gets off and starts picking fruit to eat. Sake also catches a pig to cook up later.*

Komota: Tomas, what did you mean by old people?

Tomas: I saw some old lady in a blue rober and a witch's hat picking apples with some old guy in black clothes who was carrying some huge scythe. They were holding hands and stuff so I think they're an old couple.

Sake: Hay theres a hut over there.

Tomas: Oh hay there is. Komota keep picking fruits and stuff. Sake cook up that pig. I'm gonna check on the old couple.

Komota: Yes, captain.

Sake: Got it.


 * Tomas runs towards the hut while Komota keeps picking fruits and Sake kills the pig by snapping its neck then starts a fire.*


 * Tomas knocks on the door.*

Tomas: Anybody home?


 * An elderly lady wearing a red robe and a witches hat opens the door and looks in surprise.*

????: Oh hello young man, I haven't seen you before.

Tomas: Wasn't your robe red a little while ago?

????: Were you spying on me young man?

Tomas: Wait what? No! Me and my crew are docked here and I wanna know if its ok if we get some food here and maybe hang out for a while.

????: Rose honey who is it?

Rose: Its just some nice young man dear. He wants to know if he can stay here.


 * An elderly man in black clothing and black hair walks out and examines Tomas.*

????: So, you wanna eat here huh?

Tomas: Well uhh, we're already eating right now. My first mate is picking fruit and my helmsman is cooking up a pig.

????: Well you seem alright. But if you try to trash my island or touch my beautiful Rose, I'll shove my foot so far up your ass it'll hit your gag reflex!

Tomas: You are one grumpy old man you know that?

????: Don't make me kill you!

Tomas: You wanna go you old geezer?! *Sea shells go up Tomas' arms.*

????: It's on! *The elderly man forms a thunderbolt of sun energy and prepares to throw it.*

Rose: Maho Maho Stop! *Rose outstretches her hand and the elderly man and Tomas both freeze.* Nova dear you know you shouldn't attack guests! This young man just wants to stay here with his crew and eat! Now I'm gonna let you two go and your both gonna apologize!


 * Rose lets them both go. Tomas withdraws his sea shells and Nova lets his sun bolt go and it dissipates.*

Tomas: Sorry.

Nova: Hmph *Rose hits him on the arm* Ow! Ok sorry.

Rose: Now both of you introduce yourself.

Tomas: I'm Tomas H. Ells, captain of the Shell Pirates.

Nova: I'm Nova Blade, former captain of the Skyline Pirates.


 * They both shake hands and Rose smiles.*

Rose: There. Now I'm Rose Diamond, former navigator of the Skyline Pirates and now loving wife of Nova Blade.

Tomas: Wait. Nova Blade. As in the Yonkou Nova Blade. Your kidding!

Nova: So I'm more famous that I thought so. *Nova laughs to himself*

Tomas: Hay, one of my crewmembers he might know you his names Komota Arnold I bet he'll love to meet you!

Rose: Nova honey wasn't Komota in that one crew? The crew of that young boy we met when we docked on that island to find Silver?

Nova: Yes, that young boy that was following Drake around. I gave him a Hikaeon particle I believe.

Rose: Well, instead of just sitting around trying to remember lets just go ask him about it.

Tomas: Alright lets go.


 * Tomas, Rose, and Nova walk towards where Komota and Sake are set up.*


 * Meanwhile back with Komota and Sake, Komota already has 3 barrels full of various fruits and Sake is already cooking a pig and a cow.*

Komota: Sake you should be a cook that smells pretty good.

Sake: Nah, I can't cook but I know how to roast an animal. If you want a chef then we need to look for somebody who can fish and cook a mean fish filet.

Komota: You have a point, Sake. *Komota peels an orange and starts eating it.*

Sake: So how do you think Tomas is doing with the elderly couple he saw?

Komota: Who knows? All I know is- Oh my God...

Sake: What?


 * Komota points to a large red headed man with a Nodachi on his back and a Gattling gun for a left hand. The man gets off of a rowboat he was in and smiles maliciously.*

Gattle: Found you.

Komota: Damn it.

Sake: Who's that?

Komota: Trouble.
