Devon's POV
"What did you say!!!" Leon shouted at me clearly offended.
"Great now you're deaf too. I said are you even a man." I rebuked him, but with a louder voice than I was used to, in a way how I would speak to hearing impaired elders.
"We have fought dozens of times yet you can't even beat me even once. Clearly, you are not man enough." I taunted him even more.
Practically seeing the steam coming from his ears, my urge to tease him grew even more.
" S-shut up!" But Leon's attempt to save face was a failure.
He was even blushing rosy red with all the embarrassment.
Seeing all this, I cracked up on the spot.
As a result Leon pounced on me causing us to backward and crashing into the precious cargo in deck and in the process wrecking it.
Everyone stopped in their tracks and entered a shell shock silence.
Moments later the eerie silence was broken by the thunderous heavy clanking of boots.
"What is the meaning of this."
Captain Addison boomed hearing all the racket.
"He started it!" Me and Leon spoke in unison while pointing our fingers at each other.
He glared at me and I glared back.
Seeing this, the captain decided to take the matter into his own hands.
"That's enough you two!!! You two as punishment are going to clean the brig, it needs some good scrubbing."
"And for your dinner tonight,
it is reduced to a loaf of bread, you two must share it."
The captain was clearly serious
"B-but..." we said in unison again
"No buts." Was the last words the captain spoke to us before turning around and holing himself up again in his quarters.
"This is all your fault." We said in unison once more before glaring at each other like our lives depended on it.
When we broke off we begrudgingly picked up two buckets and scrubs and headed below deck.
Every step we made the wood creaked under our weight.
The moment we opened the door, our system was invaded with an unbearable stench that was definitely a cross between pee and rotting corpses.
It seems it has gotten worse than the last time I've been here.
It took all my strength not to empty the contents of my stomach, but poor Leon couldn't with stand the putrid smell and puked his guts out.
"Ugh, make it a cross between pee, puke and rotting flesh." I couldn't help but comment.
"Shut," pukes "up." Leon retorts
"Yeah, yeah, whatever Pukey."
Leon momentary paused to flip me the bird before going back to his business.
Geez, what a schlemiel.
Leaving him to his puke, I started working.
The earlier we finish, the better.
While scrubbing one of the rusting bars, I let my mind reminisce.
It's been 2 months since I boarded The Devils Sheol and I've accomplished and experienced a bunch of new things.
Like how I climbed up to the crows nest or how I gulped a whole bottle of rum in one go.
Though I passed out after drinking the rum I've come to like it.
