Last Destiny Volume 2 Chapter 1

In Ojai, a harsh town known for pirates, two female pirates brag about robbing three ships. A tiring pirate doubts their story, but they insist it's true. Another pirate challenges them, and a fight breaks out. As they leave the bar, they encounter a mysterious man. They all exchange smiles and continue on their way. The man enters the bar and sees the aftermath of the fight. He leaves without saying anything. The bar owner laments losing another customer. Charlie and Helen owe him money. Chapter 1, Charlotte and Helen. Three hundred years later, the world of Ojai has changed much. Life, as they say, goes on in all its thorough dramatics, and the skies are dark. Wings, creatures glide along. It's breezy enough for a coat. The town itself is harsh. Known mainly as a pirate haven, those who are wise stay away. At Joe's Brewery, the day is as any other. Pirates come, looking to relax from their seafaring adventures. Joe, the bar owner, cleans some of his glasses with a rag as he listens to a story being told, shaking his head. Other pirates listen as well. They all have an absurd look about them. The story weavers are two female pirates who hold another while rising their drinking glasses up high as they carry on. The female pirate to the left, with her raspy voice, says, Patton and I robbed three ships on that day of days, left those darn fools wrecked along the bays. Her and her friend look at another and laugh loud. A tiring pirate, like the others, has had enough as he interrupts and says, Even I, little Tim, need me old crew of 30 to help me taking down just one ship. And I supposed to believe you two took down three? Three in one ever-loving day? Standing with a frustrated expression, says, You darn right we did. You could even on our most lazy of days. Another pirate says, The detours ride deep, not in tubes. We don't care for lies, nor do we like the looks of youths. The other female pirate brashly says, Pierce tells no tales. I advise you to watch your tongues. An elder pirate harshly says, Stanton, Pierce, inferior names, inferior stories, tough, weakling. Stanton says, We did do it. And if not, why do yous listen? Another pirate near says, Here is what you ladies had to say. Nothing personal. Detour jokingly says, Hey, didn't mean we believe you, is what he was trying to say. As he reaches toward Stanton's breast, Stanton looks toward Joe, the owner, who shakes his head the more, and she smiles. Stanton, in a deep voice, says, So that's why yous was listening. Detour shakes his head up and down. Little Tim, with a smile, says, I mean, such fragile beauties. Why else? Stanton proceeds to knee Detour in between the legs forcefully. He is on the ground in agony afterwards. Pierce, above, her sword knocks another of the pirates away from her. As a bulky pirate rushes and swings at her, Pierce, in time for the blow, it catches Little Tim instead. This causes the two pirates to start fighting one another. The last pirate pulls his sword and duels Stanton. Pierce, from behind, kicks him right between the legs as hard as she can. He falls as the other before him did. Pierce, looking toward Joe, says, I told you, Joe. You got to get a new line of customs. As her and Stanton walk out of the bar, holding each other's shoulders. Stanton says, Let's go to the chip. Pierce says, Yeah, we should get going. Outside, a mysterious-looking male, with long black hair, dressed in an all-black cape, walks up. As Stanton and Pierce see him, they all lock eyes. The pirates smile. As they cross each other, Pierce and Stanton walk on either side of him. Pierce pats him on the behind and Stanton looks at her shamefully. He, himself, has no reaction. As he reaches the bar, he looks in only to see injured guys across the floor. He pauses for a moment, then leaves. Joe, the owner, thinks, Darn, lost another customer. Charlie and Helen are going to pay that portion of their tab one day.
