With the backs of Little Riz and Geez getting far away from them, Elder man sighs in relief as he turns his gaze back to Lieutenant Merv who has the same height as them.

"Let's get back to the topic. me with Elder woman, will give the child back to you. His name is Pate Trivias, Is the name correct!?" Elder man firstly set their decision to the requirements of the marines as he wants to gather more information.

Lieutenant Merv gave an interesting look to this old man as he felt the hidden inquiries and he thought 'The kid is truly here, then I need to pressure these ants to hand over the kid.'

"You are right, the name is Pate Trivias. One of the 'CELESTIAL HEIRS' of the Trivias family." Lieutenant Merv smiles as he states a heavy title to scare them.

Both Elder man and woman were shocked by these revelations as they didn't expect how deep these muddy waters that the whole village got stuck onto.

'How can they survive this!' as one of the old elders of the village he sees how much their ancestors want to give a peaceful life to them. And all of it will be destroyed by this sudden storm that will engulf the whole island.

With these marines' series of actions, it's plain to see that they have a malicious aim towards the noble kid and unfortunately to them as well.

To think that the lives of hundreds of villagers will be inflicted because of power oppositions 'Are we going to be annihilated by the whim of these people, why oh god!?'

"We have the kid! but how can we be assured that you marines will not harm the village!?" Elder woman asks as she emotionally states her worries.

Hearing this, Lieutenant Merv comprehends that the vigilance of these people is so high that even the marines were suspected to be hostile elements to their village 'It seems that I've been to rush for my actions but Captain is in a rush and that man will not tolerate any shortcomings.'

"PuruPuruPuruPuruPuruPuru" Lieutenant Merv's thoughts and Elders thoughts were cut in when the Den Den Mushi ringed in the inner clothes of Lieutenant Merv.

Getting Den Den Mushi out of his clothes, and removing the receiver "Katcha!", the face of the snail mimics a middle-aged face with a serious expression as its eyes turn to sphere sunglasses.

"Captain!"

After entering the hut, Riz can't withstand the devastating feelings as she falls to her knees and sobs as she feels how little they are and powerless.

But a big callous hand held her shoulders and helped her to stand up "Riz, we can't waste time here. Let's go, think about Little Jas! you can't just give up!" with clenched teeth, Old Geez tried to hold his tears but it still streamed down to his face as he helped Riz.

"We still have many people to save, we can't just fall here!"

Back to the silent Marines and Elders because of a sudden call of their Captain, Lieutenant Merv said in front of the Den Den Mushi with a salute "Captain, We just verify that the kid is here and right now we are negotiating with the elde-"

"It's taking a long time, annihilate them! LEAVE NONE ALIVE! get the head of the kid as proof, understand!?"

Because of the pressure of crisis in front of them, Elder man patience snap as he yells with anger "W-WHAT DID YOU JUST SA-"

BANNGG!!

But his outburst scream was exchanged with a bullet in the revolver at Lieutenant Merv's hand as the hypocritical smile was gone "Yes, Captain!"

The Den Den Mushi eyes slumped forward as it back to sleep indicating the end of call.

"ONG!" Elder woman immediately embrace the Elder man who falls to the ground with a gun wound at his shoulder.

"Arrgghh! You won't get away with this!" Elder man said while covering his wounded shoulder, Elder woman also looks up at Lieutenant Merv who is aiming the revolver at them.

"Maybe? or maybe not?" looking with a mocking grin, Lieutenant Merv pointed to the village "Go! Kill them as you search the kid, prioritize the kid's head!"

"Yes, sir!" Marines immediately rush forward as they destroyed and kick the newly build fences of the village.

"Come Out!" Kicking the door open of the hut and aiming the rifle as they entered, searching the villagers.

But every marine that entered the empty hut was confused as they didn't see any person but still search every crook and crannies.

And they found out that everyone in the village was gone and the only similarity of every hut is the open hole of the ground in their living room.

"Great!" Lieutenant Merv praise as he scans his subordinates scurrying in every place to found clues to the whereabouts of the villagers.

"Now I understand, you two senile old hags exchange your lives for the two ignorant earlier." Looking at the two Elder who still looking at him and the marines with animosity but he can still see their unyielding spirit.

"Amusing…" Lifting the revolver in his hand and aiming at them but his finger stop pushing the trigger when he sees the mocking smile of the two looking back at him.

Like a taunted kid as his calm demeanor shattered to pieces, triggering the revolver unconsciously out of rage.

The Marines around him step back as they watch how their Lieutenant empties the revolver's bullets to the two Elders who slump to the ground dying the ground blood red.

Lieutenant Merv still firing the revolver even though it is already out of bullets and looking at the two corpses with red eyes, expressing his rage thinking 'You two are just ignorant fools who can only die in my hands and you still have the guts to look at me with ridicule! THINKING YOU TRICK ME! I'll dig this place until I found them and torture them in front of you two!'

"WHAT!? STILL, DILLYDALLYING HERE!? GO SEARCH THEM!" With vengeful purpose, the Lieutenant shouts at his subordinate as he put his revolver to the holster and tried to calm his mind.

But the mocking smile of the two Elders still lingers in his mind pouring gas to his anger 'Go, Hide carefully! Don't let me find you all!!'
