Chapter 32: His Name is Masamune Kále
"Kále, come with us. We gotta get the rest of these girls out of here!" Masa asked, with a hurried Voice.
"Yeah, I'll come with you. Just let me get my swords first." Kále attempted to stand up, using his hands to push himself off the ground but as he got to his feet, his knees buckled and he fell back against the wall. Just managing to stop himself from falling to the ground again.
Leroy was ready to catch him his hand on his chest "I gotchu." Masa's hands catching his back as he caught himself.
"I remember seeing a speed boat at the other end of the Island, Away from the Main docks. We'll be able to use it to get away."
Kále and Leroy nodded, the Former walking barefoot across the room to where the Men kept his dual swords. Always in view of him, taunting him, and using them against him.
The First blade, Saidai, and the Second Blade, Bakari. Two Grade Swords.
Kále then hooked the belt holster around his waist, metal clicking into place.
In the meantime, Leroy and Masa had began opening the cages, Masa using the Keys, while Red Sash ripped the bars and chains from the women, helping them to their feet.
Groans of Sluggishness filled the air as they all were woken up and taken off their IV's. It'd be a while before they became fully lucid again. But with out Orders given while directly fed the drug, they'd be able to act on their own.
It took a few minutes for all of them to reach the dressers at the other end of the room, where they were in clear view for both guards, and other girls alike to see as they got dressed and done up before 'work'.
Kále and Leroy, stared at a wall while they did this.
"Okay, you two can turn around!" Masa spoke, now wearing skinny jeans and a pink shirt with a black line across the bust.
All of them were dressed in something comfortable. Shoes, jeans, skirts. For once, Whatever they wanted.

Running up the Stairs, the crowd stepped over some of the remaining Guards strewn about the Corridor.
"Seems like most of thems got away while we were busy!" Leroy said
"Shame." Kále remarked.
"Damn Shame..." Added Leroy.
Suddenly stopping, Something caught Leroys eye. Kále turning to see what he was doing "What?"
Carrying out a Pipe Cask Barrel, filled with liquid, Red Sash raised a brow. "Let make sure this place burns."
Kále smirked.
The Two Poured two Pipe Cask Barrels of Rum across the corridor, and up the stairs and across the first Room before being poured out into the street, where the two tossed the Barrels to the side.
The Women were Standing out front of the Building, watching the two as Leroy pulled a lighter he'd picked off one of the Slavers. And Tossing it to the Rum.
The Amber flame quickly spread across the line and into the building! In seconds the Orange glow came to the window, only for the heat to the shatter the panes! Fire leaking out of the building and rising into the air! They could already here the shouts of fire from the part on the opposite street behind the building.
Still. The Group watched as the Flames rose. Watching for minutes before hearing the bells of a firecarriage sounded out a distance away.
"Lets get out of here...The Fire Brigade will be here soon!" Spoke one of the Women. Masa turning to nod to them.

It took close to fifteen minutes for the group to reach the Docks. They were quiet, the lights from the inner city fading into the background as a few workers either rested on their break
Masa came to a stop, eyes frantically looking around the Docks, many luxury ships, but there was one she was specifically looking for...
"There!" She pointed, one of the speed boats, a specialty ship that was rare, down right unheard of in the East particularly. One that used an Engine to power Propellers. The Ship Itself looked close to a Ketch mixed with the cabin of a caravel attached to the rear.
"Well, look at that!" Leroy was wowed by the way it looked. It was so pristine. But ships like these were often made, unknown to the Captain, by Islands in the Grand Line who specialized in these types of small engine bearing boats.
Masa had learned from her Dad on Shimotsuki how to rig a ship. To use the Engine, they'd need to raise the sails.
Leroy and Kále helped some of the Women onto the boat, still very drowsy from the drugs, before helping with the rigging.
After another quick few minutes, the Engine was Running.
"Okay. I think we're good to go- Ready Ká-" Masa began, looking over her shoulder only to see that The Swordsman was stepping off the Ship.
"Aren't you coming with us?" Masa's heart skipped a beat, her face held a look of worry.
"No...I've, spent so long searching for you. And now that I've found you..." His head hung as he bit at his lower lip, his eyes closing. "I think- The best thing is for me to, find my own way now. Your father asked me to find you, and I made a deal to offer myself up in your stead. But now..."
