The Great Jewel

CHAPTER 14

A FEW MINUTES AGO:

"Hurry up, Penny! I want to help too!" Henry says as he rushed Penny to quickly get him out of this cage.

"I'm trying! The lock! It's hard to pick, it may take a while." Penny replied as she is trying her best to pick the lock with a tool.

Henry sighed as this would take forever. So, instead of bothering about the lock, Henry told her that she should pick the lock of his shackles and cuffs first, and after that, they can think of something else. Penny agreed as Henry sat besides the bars as Penny is now picking the locks of the shackles and cuffs. It took her only 2 minutes to completely free Henry, and this is when Teach made a move. Henry stood up, went to the bars and then held it. With his immense strength, he tore the bars apart and went out the cage while shaking his hands as he was in shackles for a long time.

"We got to get you out of here. Tina would be—"

"I'm going to fight, Penny. I have to return the favor."

Penny looks at him, and she just sighed because when Henry makes this serious face, he is bound to do something that he would never back away from. Penny agreed as they will now search for somewhere they are useful, as this is an actual confusing all-out battle. Guns being fired everywhere, the streets are flooding with thick red substance, and then the screams of people that are being hurt and dying. This is the horror of a battle. Yes, a battle is to display a certain person's strength, but death in battles is inevitable. As they were about to search where they are useful, they heard this,

"Angel!" someone screamed.

Henry and Penny looked around, and then they saw what caused that screaming and they now have found where they are most useful.

PRESENT:

Henry, who just punched a first lieutenant flying then assisted Angelique to stand up. Half of her face was already swollen, and she was bleeding quite heavily.

"I can't believe that I was just saved by the prisoner we were about to transfer. Well, thank you anyway." Angelique grinned.

Samuel was glad that his sister was safe, however, Jimuel sprung back to life and then immediately sprinted towards Henry and Angelique.

"How dare you ruin my handsome face! How dare you, you fuckers!" Jimuel bellowed.

"A truce?" Henry asked.

Angelique chuckled,

"For now,"

And when Jimuel swung his left arm at them, Henry blocked it with his forearm. Henry left an opening, and Angelique went through Henry's legs and then she stood up quickly and delivered an uppercut at Jimuel who was sent off his feet again. Jimuel landed on the ground and regained his balance and started attacking. He launched another hard right hook, but then again, Henry blocked it with his forearm like so.

"Impossible! No one can block my punches!" Jimuel bellowed "If that's the case,"

Jimuel then took a deep breath and then,

"Animal Martial Arts: Tiger Claw!" he yelled as he then took a battle formation of a tiger and began to attack.

Angelique and Henry took a deep breath too, as normal tricks won't work on this man anymore,

"Beast Technique: Grizzly Magnum!" Henry says.

"Western Arts: Dragon Fists!" Angelique followed.

Jimuel then swung his left at Angelique, while the right at Henry. The marine first lieutenant laughed hysterically,

"How about that! Blocking that would be—" and his expression tells it all.

Angelique and Henry received the blows with ease. This is when Jimuel realized that these two are also masters of different martial arts. Angelique caught the punched while her hands are like the claw of a dragon. Meanwhile, Henry caught the attack with his palm alone. The strength and durability of both the dragon and a bear is present. And this is also when Jimuel knew that he just fucked up.

"Bet you can't take this!" Angelique smiled as she then punched Jimuel in the stomach so hard that Jimuel flew off his feet.

Henry grinned, as he then jumped and followed Jimuel. The first lieutenant hopelessly looked at Henry as the guy swung his hands that are put together and it hit Jimuel that made him plummet fast and hard to the ground. The impact created a small hole, into the ground. Jimuel was in that hole and was incapacitated.

"I-I can't move my body, why?" Jimuel asked himself.

Henry landed on the ground as he and Angelique then stood above Jimuel and looked down at him in the hole,

"Wondering why you can't move your body? Simple, I know a little about aura manipulation, I used my aura to seep through your pores and severe all your joints and all so that you can't move. Quite bendy, isn't it?" Henry says.

And without any hesitation, Angelique stomped at Jimuel so hard, that the hole got deeper,

"That is for underestimating and brutally abusing us for years!" and then she stomped him harder in the face "And that is for molesting me!"

All the teeth of Jimeul fell off and since there is no way for it to go, he swallowed all of his teeth in one go. And then, Angelique delivered three consecutive attacks at him, and the final one is at the crotch,

"That is for no reason at all! Just die you scumbag!" she sobbed.

She sobbed as she finally delivered justice. All those years of suffering, all those years of belittlement, and it was satisfying for her to see that the number one person who molested her, is now incapacitated and might not be able to go back in service. After the fight, Angelique fell on her buttocks on the ground as she is exhausted. Henry just grinned,

"It was nice fighting alongside you, even though it only lasted 10 minutes." Henry looked at the exhausted lieutenant.

Angelique smirked,

"Yeah, me too. Let's rest for now and see how things will turn out. I now have a plan after this." She replied as she then looked at the battle of Thomas and Reggie.

Samuel and Penny then approached them, all finished up with their opponent also. It turns out, Penny was more brutal than what Henry thought. According to Samuel, Penny made the marine first lieutenant swallow spikes by forcing it down his throat. It was brutal and all. Samuel then sat besides his little sister as she leaned on his shoulder and sobbed,

"We did it, sis. We're now free. And I know that we now have the same thoughts about our future. Now, let us see how this battle will end." Says Samuel.

As they all knew the consequences of their actions. If Thomas loses, then it would be public hanging for them. And if Thomas wins, then it is a win for the pirates. But to Penny, their objective has already been done. Henry is freed and all, but as appreciation, they will stay and watch the great pirate they just allied with. Meanwhile, Jeff and Igor are now nearing the conclusion of their battle. Both are exhausted and quite injured. Jeff launched one final attack, and Igor did too,

"Hammer Omega!" Jeff bellowed as he raised his trusty battle hammer which is now covered and dripping in blood.

"Ninth Symphony!" Igor yelled.

Their attacks collided at each other, and it created a small explosion. And the victor, was the one standing while the loser was in a house he went into and was lying there incapacitated. Jeff was the victor, after 30 minutes of brutal battle, it has finally come to an end. He sat down and is just waiting for the last 2 major battles to finish. And that is the battle of William and Chalrx and then the other brutal battle of Thomas and Captain Reggie.
