Rise Of A New Heart

Chapter 14 Island of Sinners

Law's group:

With everyone else busy with their respective duties Law and Bart made their way towards the city. Walking down the Main Street they noticed many wealthy looking people lavishly dressed in high end robes of the best quality silks and cottons. The women reeked of expensive perfume and heavily adorned themselves in ornate jewellery. Men wore elated smug looks on their faces and crowns that held no meaning whilst strutting down the well maintained cobblestone streets, off in their own selfish little worlds. Lining the streets were up-scale hotels, fancy restaurants and shops who's windows housed even more flashy things, Law also noticed there were a lot of pawn shops and money lenders around as-well. As the two reached the end of the street they were met with a huge building that resembled a royal palace, sure enough there was a large bright sign surrounded by glittering lights that said 'Royal Court Casino'.

Enyo's group:

"Hurry Enyo! Were gonna miss the fish!" Bepo whined, jogging on the spot while the steely haired girl scrutinised some funny looking fruits.

"Relax Bepo. I know I said we would hurry but I don't want to miss anything, it's not everyday you get an opportunity like this."

"Like what?" Dorian asked.

"This island is filled with nobles, and they only eat foods that are exotic and of best quality. So we should find ingredients here that are not only delicious but from all over the world."

"Ohhhh. You're so smart Enyo-chan!" Dorian complemented making the girl gush with embarrassment and giddiness. Bepo rolled his eyes and grabbed Enyo's wrist pulling her along like a little kid with his mother

"C-mooooon!"

"Fine! We'll get the fish now!"

After the grocery shopping was done the trio decided to have some lunch before they headed back to the sub. They settled on a place that was on the outer part of town called Eddie's and was more of a tavern than an actual restaurant, but they still served food which was that main thing. The pirates sat at a table in the back corner of the room and perused the menus. Once decided, Enyo volunteered to go up to the counter, place the order and pay for the boys lunch as thanks for helping her with the shopping. Walking over to the bar she noticed some rather unsavoury men making suggestive faces, wiggling their eyebrows and puckering their lips. Enyo scoffed and turned her head, ignoring the sleazy men and proceeded to order the food. She was on her way back to the table when suddenly a loud [SMACK!] resounded through the tavern.

"Heya sweet cheeks, why don't ya come n sit with us?"

Every word the vulgar man said fell deaf on Enyo's ears as she was frozen in shock, the world seemed to go in slow motion as the rippling of her posterior gradually ceased. She said nothing, lowering her head she quietly went back to the table and sat beside the dumbstruck figures of Dorian and Bepo.

"Tch! Rude bitch!"

The man said before going back to his beer. Dorian's teeth clenched in rage and he began to stand up until a soft hand with a firm grip stopped him, his head snapped to the side to meet Enyo's stern gaze. The intense moment brought Bepo back to the present aswell,

"Are you ok Enyo?" The bear asked, still somewhat in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm fine." She nodded then turned back to face the livid young man. "Please, Dorian, don't do anything." She said, her teal orb pleading for him to just sit.

The dark haired boy abruptly dropped back to his chair and frustratedly glared and the pig who dare laid his filthy hands on such a beauty. His expression softened when he felt a gentle hand rest on his shoulder and looked at Enyo, who wore a small forced smile
