《The Runes Pirate of One Piece》Chapter 8 - Deceit
Advertisement
Eureko was looking amazed in front of him because of the weakened flame that almost a while ago was so vigorously engulfing the forest.
But now it looks like it was empty of gas and subsided almost in a second.
"What is happening? Hey you! did you pour gasoline or is it just piss of yours!", he yells angrily at the man who was scared and almost pissed himself.
"No! vice-captain, I check it twice before I took it in the storage, Two gallons of gasoline"
Eureko himself was sure that it was gasoline so he stepped into the forest and looked at a tree that was blackened by the flame.
He unsheathed his knife and slash it to the bark of the tree, and he found out that the inner side of the tree is still full of vitality and there is no sign of burn.
The outside is scorched by the flame but the inside is not affected by the high temperature of the blazing flame.
'What is this forest?' he exclaimed to himself and suddenly his eyes gleam with greed. 'This is a good material for the ship!'
"Vice-Captain!", a pirate crew emerges from the side of the forest.
"What!?" he impatiently asked
"We found the trace to the back of the island and we found the villagers escaping with a storage ship. It has a steering engine in the rudder and it has a chance to escape completely!"
"What!? Are you sur-", before he finishes a crew emerges on the other side.
Panting a heavy breath "Vice-Captain! we f-found out that the villagers escape immediately without carrying their livestock *breath" and heavy things to their house! there is a high chance that they are going to migrate to another island."

The pirate crew is sweating and he reaches out his hand, holding luxury clothes that are still wet from seawater "This is the luxury clothes of the kid that escaped from us, we presume that the kid is in their vice-captain."
He handed the clothes to me and examined them. 'Nicely done! good merit!'
"Job well done! go call all of the crew and we will report it to the captain. They can't escape our grasp, Go! make haste!", taking note of the uniqueness and sturdy forest in his mind.
"Yes!" The two pirate crew called their group and ran back to the pirate ship.
They didn't notice that the pirate crew, the one who was tired from running around, presented the luxury clothes to Eureko.
Jump down into a trench full of vigorous plants that you will not notice that there is a hiding place there.
"How is it?" sounded inside.
"The misdirection phase is -" Panting!~ "Successfully done, now it's all in Zito's hand"
"We did everything, will fate save us? ... What?"
"Don't act like you are Old Geezer"
"I just want to act cool... just ignore me"
Front Shore of the island • Pirate Ship •
Eureko boards the pirate ship and commands all of them to sail the ship and keep a tight chase to the escaping villagers, he proceeds to the captain's room.
"Captain! We found out that the villager escaped to the back of the island using a storage ship with a steering engine installed in the rudder.", he looked at the captain and reported his finding on the island and he put the luxurious clothes of Dan on the table of the captain.
"I found these clothes, I presume that the villagers save the kid, and the kid gains consciousness and tells all of the details. and the villagers decide to migrate to another island to escape from us pirates haha."

Eureko claimed all of the merits, well even if the crew found out, they wouldn't dare to point fingers, or he would cut their fingers.
He just doesn't know that the one who gave him the merits didn't mind either.
The Captain smiled hideously and laughed.
"Gragahagaha That's good, they must act like prey. But we must not let them escape, we must show them what a predator is" Captain tap the table, indicating it is in a good mood.
He stood up and walked in front of Eureko and patted its shoulder "You didn't let me down Eureko! let's go and watch how this prey will panic while sailing away from us!"
They strode to the front deck while the other crew was busying to keep on chasing the villagers.
"Captain!" simultaneously shouts of the crew members.
The one who was in the right back earlier of the captain strode to the right back of the captain again and looked at the fleeing storage ship.
"So this is the prey you are hunting, captain"
"Yes it is Dislab, grahaga" the captain answered easily.
Eureko looked at Dislab, and snorted while the others ignored him which fueled his irritation, thinking 'Wait a while. After this, I will present the forest to the captain! I'll enjoy your pitiful look after!'
Storage Ship
Zito looked at the back and found that the pirate ship was in hot pursuit of him, he nervously swallowed his saliva.
'Guide me! god of whatever you are.', he pulls the third rope to release a lump of meat that is soaked in blood to the sea, Old Geez keeps reminding him that if he is in the Fifth rope he must jump out to sea.
And let the storage ship steer itself, just make sure that the lever with a color of blue is pulled down, and it will sail straight ahead.
'Why I have to be the best to swim in the village, I hope I don't die. I want to marry a beautiful wife or maybe a good but not too ugly wife just to make sure, I'll keep my life at this moment.' he pulled the fourth rope.
As he attempts to pull down the blue lever.
Splashing of water pours in big waves to the right of the storage ship 'F*ck!'
He looked behind and found that the pirate ship was almost 20 miles away, 'What a good Accuracy! just little left, and this storage ship will blow to smithereens'
He pulled down the blue lever and released the fifth rope.
He ran to the left side of the ship, without a second thought, and jumped down.
'Ahh what are you planning, Old Geezer?' thinking as he plunged to the sea, while he was adjusting his sight to find his direction to dive through.
His eyes turned wide open because of shock and terror and he didn't notice his wide mouth open that kept letting out bubbles of air.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.

Baby boy
Just so you aren't confused I wrote this book directly from the movie and it's just what I wanted to happen or thought would happen instead of what really happened. DO NOT come to my comments telling me it's like the movie cause I know that's the whole point. I wanted the movie to go different in some parts so I made a book on it.
