Silver Infinity ((Kamukura X Komaeda))

Chapter Four: Resistance

 "Come oooooon!" The boy pulled at the iron cell bars. "I'm hungry and bored! Aren't I innocent until proven guilty?! I haven't had a trial!"
"Damn it Kokichi just shut up already!" A girl called from another cell. "Your complaining is just making me hungrier!"
Kokichi grinned, pressing his face against the bars.

"You're always hungry. Just don't think of a freshly cooked chicken, drizzled in sauces with its perfectly tender meat-"
"If you say one more word, I'm eating you when I get out of here." The girl hissed back when the jail door suddenly flung open, and in walked a guard, silver keys jangling from his tight grip.

"How's everyone doing?"
What followed was an onslaught of pained moans and complaints from the entire crew. The guard merely chuckled, hooking the keys to his belt after the teasing.
"Wonderful. It's what you all deserve, after all. Pirates don't have any rights."

"If you don't let us out," One man threatened. "My rights will make sure nobody knows what's left of you!"
"Yeah yeah," The guard waved off the threat. "You'll get food soon. In the meantime, I'm here to relay a message from the queen."
The crew fell quiet, but one man spat near the guard's feet. He either didn't notice or didn't care, because he cleared his throat and stood up straight.

"Your Captain left to track down Captain Izuru Kamukura this morning. If he does not find and kill him in three weeks, you will die along with him."
The crew erupted in furious banter and shouting, but the guard gave no response to any questions or threats being tossed his way. Turning his back, he left the men and women of Komaeda's crew alone to contemplate.

The iron door crashed shut behind him, but instead of panic, eyes turned to one man in particular, who looked up upon noticing the stares.
"What?" His gold eyes dart around.
"You got them, didn't you Korekiyo?"
"He was standing right next to you please tell me you got them?"
"You better have grabbed the keys, Korekiyo, or I'll beat you up!"

Korekiyo chuckled, pulling himself off the hay covered, stone floor. "Calm yourself Akane. Of course, I did. What sort of man do you take me for?"
He rose his hand, the bandages wrapped around his hands muffling the tinking they would normally make.
"I think I'm about done with this dirty cell, what's say you?"

"Yes yes!" Kokichi pulled against the bars. "Captain Komaeda is helpless, we should go after him!"
"We'll need our ship and weapons back or we may as well be walking to the noose." A blond man scoffed, crossing his arms. "Sakura, will your fists be enough until we get there?" He looked to a muscled woman in the corner of the cell who had been quiet a majority of the time. Their weapons still remained on the ship, it would be a heavy gamble to escape with only one woman's strength.

She nodded, crossing her arms. "Yes, Byakuya. I fight for the Clover Galleon. I'll help however I can."
Korekiyo slid one of the keys into the lock and the cell clicked before the door pushed open, allowing him to step out and take a look along the hall.

"Me first!" Kokichi reached a hand out the bars and wiggled his fingers. "Come on, you know I'm your best friend, right? I'll give you all of Miu's puddings if you let me out first!"
"Bitch what?" The girl called quickly after.
Paying them no mind, Korekiyo approached the cell holding Byakuya and Sakura. It would be wisest to release the actually helpful ones.
Once the cell was open, he moved on, gently unlocking each cell until all the crew was free, intentionally making Kokichi the last to step out just to annoy him.

"Now what?" Miu looked around. "Do we have a plan or are we just going to have a death orgy out there?"
"Sakura will take the lead of course!" Akane placed her hands on her hips, grinning ear to ear. "We've got nothing to fear!"
