Leaving

Ding! Chaos Mission: Killing all the pirates attacking the village (Completed)

Ding! Do you want to claim the rewards now?!

After killing the last pirates, the system notification sounded inside his head.

"Claim it" a warm current was filling inside Ryo's head as information flood through his mind. Seeing all the information, Ryo knew that he needed to train all of this so that he could increase his fighting abilities using his zanpakuto.

Looking around him, the numerous dead bodies of the pirates were scattered around. The villagers were all staring at him with scared faces. Which is understandable as they didn't know what he would do next.

"Big brother, you're so strong you defeated all this bad guys. Thank you for saving us" a little girl walks forward unfazed of all the blood and bodies around.

"Y...yes thank you for saving all of us" behind the little girl, a young woman walks forward and also said her thanks. "My name is Mia and this is my little sister Nuan. Again, thank you for saving us. If you didn't arrive, I don't know what would have happen in all of us here"

"Yes, thank you for what you did"

"You've done a great help to our small village"

One after another, the villagers who were scared at first all comes forward and thanked Ryo for dealing with the pirates.

"Don't mention it, I just did it because I needed to. You should not be grateful for that" Ryo waves hands with a smile.

"Such a good young man"

The villagers thought that he was just being humble which makes them respect him even more.

An old man holding a cane walks forward and stand in front of him and said, "Young man, I am the head of this village. You saved our whole village against this pirates. Although there are some of us who unfortunately died in their hands, I'm sure they are happy knowing that the village was saved with your appearance. Tell me, what should we call you"

"Ryo, just call me Ryo" after he tell his name he asked the old man, "I just wanna asked, is there any nearby marine branch in the area? I was planning in taking the pirate captain there, I'm sure there is some bounty in his head"

"Unfortunately, there is no marine branch in this island. It is also because of that that pirates were bravely enough to attack here" the old man stop for a second before he continues, "But in a nearby island, there is a marine branch there. It will take a day using a ship for you to arrive there"

"If that's the case, then I would have to have a ship to go there. I can definitely use the ship of this pirates and head there" Ryo look at the old man and said, "I don't know how to navigate a ship"

"If you don't know how to navigate a ship, I can help you with that" a voice suddenly sounded and it was the young woman named Mia who speaks. "I can navigate a ship and take you to that island"

Ryo and the villagers all look at her as they didn't know why or what would she do in that island.

"Mia, you and your little sister grew up here in the village together even when your parent died. Why would you suddenly want to go to that island. Also, do you want to leave your little sister here alone?" the old man said worried as he didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

The little girl beside Mia started to have a look as if she was gonna cry. She looked up at her big sister and said with trembling voice, "Bid sister you didn't want little Nuan anymore? Nuan promise that she would be a good girl from now on. Just don't leave little Nuan alone"

Looking down at her little sister who was hugging her with tears already falling from her eyes. Mia smiled softly and comforted her, "Little Nuan, big sister will definitely not leave you alone. Big sister will also brings you there so that we could be together. Big sister just wants to become a join and become a recruit of the marines. You remember auntie who was living there right? Auntie says she would take care of us if we move there"

With her sister softly comforting her, the little girl just snuggled to her and didn't say anything.

"Your auntie? I remember she would come here to visit you two every month. If you really want to go, them I won't stop you. Just make sure that you would take care of yourself" the village chief said.

"Don't worry village chief, I will definitely take care of myself and little Nuan" she then look at Ryo and said, "Then its decided, I will help you get to that island. Then in the future, I will become a strong marine and protect everyone in the village"

After their talk, Ryo agreed to help take care of the siblings to go to the next island. While the people of the village would take care of the things in the village like disposing the bodies of the pirates. Ryo only asked them for a day amount of food for the three of them before taking the pirate ship and sailing with the two.

The next day, the trio finally arrived at the island. Luckily, they didn't encounter any problems on the was and their short journey was completed smoothly.

"The marine branch is on that way, I apologize that I can't escort you there personally. Because I still need to take my sister to my auntie's house to take a proper rest" Mia cast an apologetic look to Ryo as she carried her sleeping little sister at her back.

Staring at the sleeping little girl, Ryo pats the head of the little girl and said, "Don't worry about it, you've already done a great thing for helping me go to this island. I guess I would leave now, you take care of yourself and the little girl"

Saying his goodbye, Ryo carrying a small sack started to walk away while waving his hands. 'After I get the bounty for this pirate, its time for me to find a crew and make my own pirate group'

Mia stood there watching as Ryo's shadow gets farther and farther away. In her heart, she felt a little loss. In this very short amount of time that she had spend with him. She and her little sister grew quite close with him. Especially her littler sister as she didn't know the love of having a father. She treated Ryo not only as her brother, but also a fatherly figure. In her heart, a father must be like Ryo. Strong and was capable of protecting her and her big sister.

What Ryo didn't know was that in the future, a certain marine would secretly help him and his crew behind the scenes.
