IMPORTANT: ZANGIEF IS ZANGIEF FROM THE STREET FIGHTER SERIES. I just made him a pirate. THIS AND THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL HAVE A SLIGHT CROSSOVER WITH STREET FIGHTER.
Warining: Blood and guts and dismemberment. (Rating may go up)
The pirates were carrying Eiri as a ship pulled up next to the ferryboat that Shuichi and the others were riding. They weren't sure what to do. They had never even seen pirates let alone went up against them. Also, the last time they had to fight Shuichi was nearly killed. It was one thing for the prince to be captured, but to be captured after having an argument weighed heavily on the teen. He and the prince had just had an argument minutes before the kidnapping. He felt like he had to do something about this, even though he had to do it alone.
"Let him go!" he shouted.
"Why should we?" said the pirate. "This lad can bring us a lot of gold."
Just then a shiver of fear entered Shuichi's mind. He never thought he would go up against pirates. In fact he was hoping that there would be no trouble today.
"W-what are you T-talking about?" he stammered.
The pirate then showed him a cage of dozens of men who were chained to the bars of the cage. They each had numbers and drawings written on them. The drawings were of copper, bronze, silver and gold coins. And each number was different. That's when the group realized that they were going to make Eiri a slave.
"Now ye have a choice lad. Give us the boy or he goes overboard." The pirate proposed. It was a tough decision, he wanted to get to Eternias but not if it meant losing the prince. He was supposed to protect Eiri at any cost. Even his freedom.
"Leave him, and take me instead. I'll do anything that you want me to. And I won't complain. Just please, don't harm the prince." He pleaded. Sakano walked onto the top deck wondering what was going on.
"Huh? What happened." He asked lazily then he saw his prince motionless in the arms of pirates. Then he knew what danger they were in.
"What should we do captain?" one of the pirates asked.
"All of ye will be servants to me crew." He said. Then the captain turned his attention to Shuichi. A lustful look in his eyes.
"You will be my personal servant. Don't ye dare disappoint me. If ya do I'll have to make you walk the bloody plank."
Shuichi nodded with fear. Then the other boys tried to stop their friend from making what they believed was a terrible mistake.
"Master shuichi!" Hiro screamed. "You don't have to be their slave. It's not worth it!"
"He's right." Sakano said. "We won't let you lose your freedom, even if it is for the king."
"It's not for the king, it's for him!" shuichi responded. Then they all realized that there was only one way to help him now.
"If you take him, you take us too!" Hiro shouted to the pirate captain. Then the captain was starting to get a few clever Ideas. Five slaves for the price of one was very rare and not an opportunity to be passed up.
THREE HOURS LATER…
The pirate ship, like the ferryboat was heading for another town just outside of eternias. All five of the men, along with dozens of other slaves were trapped inside of a life size cage. They were struggling with their rumbling stomachs and heavy eyes. But were afraid to fall asleep because of the consequences.
Eiri came to while trapped in the cage. It seemed like everything that happened earlier was all a blur. But when he realized that he wasn't on the ferryboat, he questioned the other captives.
"What's going on?" he asked. "Why are we all in this cage?"
"We've been captured by captain Zangief and he's gonna make us all slaves." The prisoner said with panic in his voice. Eiri couldn't believe it. He was about to be a slave to the pirates. And to top it all off he didn't see the others. He began to assume that they were already enslaved by Zangief and his crew. Then he thought about Shuichi. He thought about the fight they had moments before being abducted. Now he wanted to find shuichi and try to get them off of this ship.
"In any case, have any of you seen a young man around? Pink hair, rose colored kimono?" he asked.
"You mean captain Zangief's personal servant. He was let out of the cage hours ago." The captive answered.
"I imagine that your friend is serving the captain's needs right now." Another prisoner remarked. Then Eiri got a suspicious yet worried look in his eyes. He had a good Idea of what the prisoner meant by "Serving the captain's needs." But if he was going to rescue his protector, he would have to play dumb with the captives.
"Just what do you mean by 'serving the captains needs'" He asked.
"Oh, well, sometimes the captain has his intimate needs that are fulfilled by his servants"=Explained the prisoner. "I think he's going to have a good time with that little one."
Then the prince's emotions were boiling over at that point. No one was going to have their way with him not on his watch- or sun dial. (Whatever they used to tell time in that era.) It was time for him to protect his protector.
Shuichi, I don't know where you are, but I'll find you. And I will save you. Eiri thought.
Meanwhile, Captain Zangief was out on the deck with his newest servant. As afraid as he was, Shuichi knew that being the slave of this pirate was the only way to save his prince from a life of servitude. He only hoped that Eiri would wake up to see that he really does love him. Shuichi just finished cleaning the top deck of the boat like he was ordered. After that he did more dirty work around the ship. Mopping the bathrooms and doing zangiefs laundry, even cleaning up after the parrots that the crew had. When all of that was done, the captain then called shuichi over for some good news.
"Alright lad, ye can take the rest of the day off." He said. Then the former warrior went to relax in the cabin that he was given by the captain. He got a break but the real break that he wanted was his and his friends' freedom. He was starting to think that maybe hiro was right. Giving up his freedom was not such a great Idea after all.
