86. Tears
"Kimimaro!!!" Shouted Enel, his voice were filled with shock and confusion.
In an instant when Enel's lightning disipate, a familiar figure of Kimimaro flashed inside as he retracted his swathe of bones revealing Mukade's body who since the beginning until now was still standing on his spot.
Enel gritted his teeth in desperation, soon his eyes sharpened and began to yell,
"Why? WHY DID YOU PROTECT HIM? HAVE YOU GONE MAD? WHY DID YOU STOP ME? LOOK AT THIS PLACE, LOOK AT THOSE POOR SOULS. WHY DID YOU..."
*SLAP!
At some point, Kimimaro had already stood right in front of Enel, and seeing his brother's mind was in such mess, Kimimaro couldn't help but slapped Enel's cheek. Without Haki nor any strength.
However, Enel seems like loosing all his strength and kneeled under Kimimaro's feet. The former's eyes turned moist as he looked at Kimimaro's feet who wore a getta(Wooden sandal) while his hands lowered seemingly without any strength.
Kimimaro sighed as his eyes were filled with pity and frustration. Enel who had blank face suddenly felt his eyes were being covered by Kimimaro's chest as the latter hugged his head.
"It's okay brother, i'm here. You're not alone I'm here with you, no one will hurt you anymore. Its okay...."
Kimimaro gentle voice seems like pulling Enel from his stuppor, he grabbed Kimimaro's arm while his tears finally bursting out like a broken dam!
"Bro, Brother...Sob*. Uwaaaaaaaa....!"
No one expected that the arrogant and unhinged Marine HQ Captain like Enel could cry! If anyone seeing the scene, Enel would probably silence them in future.
However, other than the drugged slaves and corpses, Only Enel and Kimimaro were here, and also the scumbag Mukade who still standing behind.
Less in a minute, Enel finally calmed down. Kimimaro wiped his brother cheek with his sleeve gently and helped him back on his feet.
"Its okay i'm fine!" Enel refused Kimimaro caring act any further after he felt quite awkward.
He was already a grown man! Even if Kimimaro was always taking care of him since their youth, he was still quite resistant against Kimimaro's gentleness.
Kimimaro gently shook his head and asked, "You probably wanted to know why i stopped you earlier right?"
Enel didn't reply as he folded his arms, seemingly waiting on explanation.
"Enel, you also killed every Marine on this island, do you think that everyone here is guilty?" Sighed Kimimaro.
Taking a deep breath, Kimimaro continue, "...anyway, let that old scumbag rot in Impel Down, Death is the easiest wayout for that kind of trash, only living through hell they will understand how precious each life is..."
"...Impel Down...?" Enel had heard about Impel Down infamy, however, he hasn't gone to that place yet, he wasn't quite sure what that place represents.
Then Kimimaro locked his gaze at Enel, "Trust me brother, no sane person wanted to be imprisoned in that place!"
Without seeking confirmation, Kimimaro patted his brother shoulder and said, "Go back, i'll handle this. You need rest."
At first, Enel wanted to argue. Alas, seeing how stern his brother face had become, Enel finally relented.
*Bzzzt...
Enel dissappear in instant leaving sparks of lightning behind, Kimimaro who stayed, approached Mukade, he stretched his hand towards the old man, from his hand there was a bone moving like a snake and slowly enveloped the stunned Mukade into submission.
Like Enel, Kimimaro also felt some impulse to just take Mukade life, however, he could held his temper much more thoroughly. Seeing Mukade pale old face, Kimimaro gritted his teeth and went towards the surviving women to take them away from this hell hole with him.
After Kimimaro's warship arrived, the crews saw on how the 50th branch had become, witnessing the horrible environment of the supposedly Marine Branch, it didn't take a smart brain on what those bunch were doing in this island.
With Daigin command, the crews immediately starts to gather the remaining slaves, dividing them into 2 camps, men and women. The men were being entrusted to Daigin, while Women and children to Tiana.
Kimimaro's crew were moving in haste and soon managed to scrounge every corner of the island. to find the slaves, be it indoor or outdoor everyone were feeling brokenhearted seeing the slaves missery!
"Daigin, we have 54 women and 21 children. 50 were contracted with std and 4 influenced deeply with drugs, as for the children. they're only malnourished and nothing else..." Tiana reporting on her finding after she meticulously lists all of the slaves.
"83 men, half of them seems okay just little malnourished, only the remaining half are...." Daigin shook his head as he felt too much to continue.
"Sir Enel?" Daigin called toward Enel who sits on nearby stone.
Enel hold his chin covering his mouth with his hands seemingly have something inside his mind, the loud and brash young Captain was nowhere to be seen ever since his return.
"Enel!" This time Tiana called upon him louder,
"Tiana?" Enel finally break out of his reverie as he turned his head toward Tiana.
"What should we do next?" Tiana asked.
Before Enel replied, his personal Snail phone rang,
*Drirriirin...
"Enel here..." Answered Enel towards his phone.
"Si, Sir. This is Rome, i think you should come here..." Rome voice were low like a whisper.
"Call Kimimaro!" All of sudden, Enel cut off the snail phone connection receiving weird glances from Daigin and Tiana. Without saying anything, Enel dissapear in an instant.
*Bzzzt....
Daigin and Tiana exchange glances, soon they sighed and shook their heads.
"Just follow the evacuation procedure..." Tiana told Daigin and took her leave.
