The High and Mighty

7. East Port

"Let me come Arthur!" Alfred kept urging as he followed behind the one eyes pirate. Arthur only shook his head before stopping and looking back at Alfred.

"Just stay here with Gilbert and Francis. You hired us to protect you and your brother, not take you into dangerous situations to get you killed," The Brit argued before sighing and starting off once again toward his ship.

They had devised a plan in case tonight's meeting didn't go as planned. Now it was nearing midnight and Arthur planned to sail out towards the given area along with Antonio. Unfortunately, Alfred didn't fully agree with being left behind with Mathew.

"Alfred please listen to him and stay here," Mathew attempted to make his brother stay but Alfred walked right past him. 'The usual...' the Canadian thought to himself.

"I'll be fine! I'm a pretty smart guy," Alfred let out a smile.

"Technically he is the boss. We can protect him Arthur, so let him come along," Antonio said while walking beside the emerald eyed man. Arthur looked to the Spaniard with his visible eye before sighing once more.

"Two against one now, hm?" Arthur then gave a nod. "Very well Alfred, you can come along but you must listen to every word and order I say. Do you understand?" He looked back at the dirty blonde. Alfred smiled and gave a thumbs up. 'Wanker,' was the first thing to pop into the Brits mind when seeing that smile that seemed to make him feel somewhat warm inside. He cleared his throat and looked forward, opening the front doors and heading down the steps.

"I am coming with you, master Jones," Kiku hurried after Alfred, behind all the accompanying pirate crews.

"Me too~" Alice ran past the rest of the servants who saw the crews leave at the door. She carried her sheathed sword at her side.

"Did you finish cleaning?!" Yao asked angrily as he waved a wok in his hand.

"Damn bastard is going to get himself killed. Come on you piece of shit, you're the only other good fighter around her," Lovino grabbed Yao's wok, dragging Yao along and followed Alice, a pistol hidden away.

"I can't believe the rest of you came..." Arthur was rubbing his temple frustratingly having scene Kiku, Alice, Lovino, and Yao following Alfred.

"It's fine. They're all pretty strong. Right guys?" Alfred asked as he turned to look at his servants.

"I wanted to protect the young master," Kiku answered.

"I was bored," Alice answered, smiling.

"Shut the fuck up," Lovino answered before clicking his tongue.

"I was brought here against my will!" Yao was the final the answer.

Antonio let out a laugh at the responses while Arthur groaned upon the crate he was sitting on. Alfred also let out a laugh as well as a few other crew members, including Leon.

"How much longer until we arrive?" Arthur asked looking up at the man who was currently steering the ship.

"Soon, I see a lone ship up ahead. We'll prepare to dock," the man answered. Arthur stood up and adjusted his coat and hat.

"Let's get this over with shall we?" The emerald eyed captain smirked.

Once docked, Arthur walked along the peer towards a group of people that looked as though to be the "enemy pirates." Eventually the group broke up as one individual walked through them. He was taller than anyone there, violet eyes peering out between the hat and long scarf around their neck. As he stopped, his silver hair swayed in the wind, up close he appeared to be a giant with the most gentle and scariest smile.

"Nice evening, isn't comrade​?" The man asked in a soft voice.
