Chapter 70: Hmm... where is my crown ?

"Your mother didn't teach you how to speak or what ?"

This line really but really rang out quite badly in Edam's ears, like the annoying noises of a bug or the pestering sounds of a building site.

Anyway...

With this he managed to draw out a frown on Edam face as the latter then coldly stood up and walked up to the guy who said this line and directly faced him. As they were both near the same height their eyes were perfectly colliding.

"What did you say ? Care to repeat ?"

"Wha-...What ? You have a problem ?!" The guy was quite intimidated by him. They were about the same height but for an unknown reason he felt something amiss, strange and dangerous with this guy but with all his buddies with him behind how could he back down right ?

"Well I do now..." Edam replied plainly with a dark pair of eyes.

"Grrgh... Then take this !" The guy charge a punch and violently struck it into Edam's chest with a...

Bang...!

"Wha-...!?" When the guy punched his chest, Edam didn't even bothered to dodge and let him punched with all his strenght without even blinking. As a fact a there was a faint "Crack !" like sound coming from his wrist unheard by everybodies.

"Sh*t, sh*t..." The guy cried and punched again.

Bang, bang, bang...!

"Dammit ! Dammit ! What the hell is wrong with him ?!" He gave punchs and kicks and knees but to no avail, no matter what nothing he did could make Edam flinched even just a bit. As if he was a man of steel or mutant alien he stood proud and tall.

His buddies instead of helping were laughing stupidly.

"Ahahahaha..."

"Ahhhg, dammit !!!" The guy gave one last powerfull punch but this time Edam moved and caught his wrist with his right hand slowly tightening his gripped on it as crushing sounds as well as cries began to resounded out.

"Ahhh, stop it, dammit, stop it !"

However without listening one bit to his plea, Edam slowly thrust his free hand to the guy's neck and lifted him up in the air as if the guy was not weighing anything at all.

Edam's eyes flickered to a platine gold for a moment.

"Ahhhg ! stop please stop agh, I'm sowwy I shouldn't have insulted you mother, I'm sowwy...! Help megh...!" And he began to beg while tears began to pour out of his eyes.

Seeing this, now his buddies weren't laughing anymore and shouted angrily.

"You ! Let him go !"

"You're killing him, do you want to be eliminated !?"

"Stay your hand !"

But of course Edam didn't gave a care at all about them and continued to stare at the guy in his hand.

"Get him !" With the shout of one of them, everyone rushed at Edam wielding various weapons.

"Haaaaaah...!" However just as their weapons came at a few inches from him and were about to strike Edam, the latter thought quietly '... Don't me touch me with your filthy weapons, I've bought those clothes recently...' and then he softly muttered a few words.

"...Vital..." At this one word his body started to glow a bright golden and fiery colored light outlining his whole body appearing kind of holy and pure for a moment.

"...Shield..." He whispered another word again and then suddenly this holy light violently exploded out with a piercing and strident "Swing...!" sound followed by a small...

Bam...!

The shock blasted all the guys away flying like broken dolls, crashing on trees or just down on the ground nearby eating the mud and stuff.

(A/N: Don't recall who comment on it but... I admit that I'm maybe overusing this line...maybe...tch.)

Everyone of them were down to the grounds, some unconscious, some not.

Meanwhile the culprit, Edam was still visible as he stood up inside a rather huge golden sphere of light shining and covering him from any directions. After a moment the barrier slowly fade away into nothingness seemingly.

Within his grasp the same guy from earlier still awake and looking in horror at everything which happened in this small moment regretting deeply and bitterly everything he did and said. They were casually picking up on their favorite punching bag when they met their end.

They f*cked up... completely... but whatever... the deed was already done... and now it was time to pay... retribution follow the law of equivalent exchange too and insulting one mother has a rather huge price to pay, especially when the one in question is someone who always longed to see his mother.

The guy cried out like a baby with snot all across his face. "I'm sowwy, I'm sowwy don't-..." but he didn't get to finish as Edam interrupted him.

"Shut up... the air is getting scarce..." Edam codly said, his hands tightening a bit more as the guy struggled but tried to shut up as he was told.

"...Guys like you piss me off the most, big mouths but nothing at all to stand up for, only good at ganging up on one single guy and bullying them..." Edam glanced at the other guys on the grounds and couldn't help but feel a huge disdain for them.

"I don't like to give lessons but now you did it, you've successfuly pissed me off, I don't know what your buddies and yourself are even doing in this training camp, if you're only here to bully others then you should get lost..."

Finishing his line he tightened his grasp and smashed the guy on the ground.

"As for what you said, you're right quite though..." He said and added. "However... my mother maybe never taught me anything but yours clearly didn't raised you well, Humph !"

Peng...! He then gave him a good "sleeping punch" on the face making the guy go straight up toward the Wonderland.

"..." Glancing at the mess he made and he turned toward a certain tree where a surveillance Den Den Mushi was on watching every moves he made and casually shrugged his shoulders in its direction. Zephyr was surely watching his and Zaz every moves.

He afterward proceeded to wantonly kick to sleep every other persons present despite their pleas and all.

As for the first pitifull guy, he left him on the same spot. If he could get up and scratch some points then good for him if not then he would be brought back to the ship by the medical staff.

Not caring any longer about what happened there, Edam slowly strolled around in search of worthy opponents.

However even after another half an hour there was no worthy opponents instead he fell on a scumbag, the guy was harrassing a fox minks girl to date him despite her disagreement... and so Edam kicked him to sleep...

He then fell on countless other scumbags that he proceeded to wantonly kicked to sleep.

A hour later of waiting "patiently" he finally had enough...

"I believed that I gave them enough time now..." Edam smiled faintly as an excited light shone in the depth of his eyes.

He slowly crouched down on one knee and placed one palm on the soil and gently stroking the ground in a small motion before his hand came to a total stop as he closed his eyes in a deep silence for a few seconds.

The forest seemed to be so peacefull at that particular instant before...

Rumble...!

...Slowly the silent peace faded away replaced by the terrible sound of tremor in the air, a threatening feeling hanging out as the atmosphere itself began to quiver faintly, to tremble softly, to vibrate quietly.

All the ground's dust around his palm slowly quivered slowly and then even began to float up circulating all around his arm.

And then with an insane momentum...

CRACK ! BOOM...!

He shoot powerfully straight up to the sky in a matter of seconds with a sonic boom cracking the ground into a huge spider-like web, easily exceeding the height of the flying surveillance Den Den Mushi making no one able to see him anymore on the screens, he quickly exceeded the mountain too and thereafter the clouds... Some nearby people managed to see his faint blue blur figure when he broke the sound barrier in the sky.

As for himself the sense of freedom he felt at this instant as he dived in the sky and through the clouds was exhilarating, incredible, indescribable even... the sunshine carressing his face along with the wind freshness... Awesome...

In his wake he had split and tore apart the clouds and rapidly over towered the entire island as he overlooked it from high up above the clouds, watching everything that happened on it with a small smile and spoke to himself.

"Hmm Now, now, now... Where is my crown ?"

At those words his eyes shone a pale yellow hue as he saw at a certain part of the island three ferocious-looking beast fighting fiercely against one another while a young girl wielding a sword fought with them too.

"There it is..." he smiled faintly.

Placing his two palms together he uttered softly.

"...Heaven's pearls..."
