Chapter 105: The Hyena
_________ POV Enel_________
I honestly completely forgot about this person's existence...
It also doesn't help that I don't really know him that well, I couldn't recognize his aura at all, figured he was just a random prisoner.
He felt somewhat familiar, but I never cared enough to actually try and find out who he was. Hell, I didn't even care about the prisoners for a while, had bigger concerns.
I guess there were some mentions of him reaching the Sky Island somehow, and bringing some gold to Doflamingo to be accepted back into his crew after his loss to Luffy in Jaya...
Are you telling me he's just been here this whole time?
"Bellamy the Hyena..." My voice rang out, echoing off the walls of his empty cell as I could see the blonde man in front of me shift awake.
He seems to be wearing a leather jacket and tattered jeans. He doesn't seem to be in that bad of a state, I guess the Sky People don't treat their prisoners that badly... At least not anymore.
"I-it's you!" Bellamy's eyes seemed to widen in fear when he finally saw me.
Even though I look quite a bit different, he still seems to recognize me... I'll say that's thanks to my earlobes, my greatest and most identifiable feature.
"No need to be scared. I don't mean you any harm... At least not anymore." I raised my palms in a defensive motion, to show that I am of no threat to him.
It didn't really work that well going by his reaction, but it still did something, as he managed to calm himself down after a few deep breaths.
He's not that stupid, I guess. If we wanted him dead, he wouldn't have been held here for so long.
"I've been held here for a few months now... What exactly do you want from me?" Bellamy seems to have gained some courage. Maybe I was too quick to judge him as 'not that stupid'.
I can somewhat guess his thought process though.
He figured that he has some type of leverage since he's not been touched.
I don't really know what he thinks he has, but it's enough to give him confidence, even when he's actually the one behind bars and bound in Seastone Chains.
"Well, I'll be blunt with you... What method did you use to reach the Sky Islands?"
"So it was that, huh?" Bellamy's smile seemed to shine a bit when hearing my words. I'm guessing he's going to try to keep the path he took to himself.
"Heh, this place is well guarded, but as soon as Captain Dofflamingo learns about this, he will easily be able to rescue me!"
"..."
"Yeah... About that..."
_________ POV Narration _________
"I did kill Dofflamingo and took down his entire group..." Enel said as he twirled one of his earlobes around his finger.
Bellamy's eyes widened once again, shock and disbelief were clear on his face.
Enel simply sighed as he realized that Bellamy had likely been held captive ever since Enel's little massacre on Jaya Island...
'Wait... How exactly did he escape in the first place?'
Enel wracked his mind a bit, he didn't remember Bellamy fleeing the scene at Jaya, he was captured alongside the other pirates...
'I didn't hear any reports of prisoner ships being attacked... Did Doflamingo pull some strings?'
Enel in the end decided not to bother himself with that anymore. Bellamy was a non-issue to him anyway.
Although, Enel did remember him as being quite talented...
'If I remember correctly... He was also able to learn Armament and Observation in just two years... Just like Luffy... But unlike Luffy, I doubt he had someone like Rayleigh nearby to teach him...'
That thought made Enel look at Bellamy in a bit of a different light. Even if he was older than Luffy, he had still displayed quite a bit of talent.
But he doubted Enel had anything to gain from someone like him.
Besides, he had been treated really well during his stay on the Sky Islands, he was kept fed, he had a roof over his head, and a warm place to sleep in.
Sure, he was chained up, but that was just because he had tried to escape a few times...
Bellamy ended up telling Enel about how he and his crew had managed to find a strange large bird while out searching for a method to reach the Sea of Clouds.
Bellamy wanted to eat it, so he and his crew followed it more and more, straying from their goal a bit, all until a large tsunami appeared overhead.
Through sheer luck, their ship somehow managed to sail alongside the Tsunami, riding it into the sky, and when they had reached its highest point, a large SeaKing emerged from it as well.
Bellamy tried to punch it, but the Sea King didn't seem too bothered.
It proceeded to slap their ship away, catapulting it further into the sky, through one of the holes in the Sea of Clouds, just large enough that their ship fit through it.
And just like that, Bellamy the Hyena had forcefully arrived on the Sea of Clouds.
Bellamy was excited when he realized that he was sailing in the sky, although their ship was close to sinking... Nothing a few emergency repairs couldn't fix though... Yeah, no, their ship was in shambles.
Bellamy and his crew all survived on two rowboats. They proceeded to row randomly through the sea of clouds, somehow avoiding all of the holes/whirlpools and rode all the way to Heaven's Gate.
The pirates got really excited when seeing it, realizing that they were rather close to the fabled Sky Island.
Too bad their excitement got to them, they rushed a bit too much and were taken down after being branded as criminals for being unable to pay the entrance fee.
Bellamy was somewhat strong, but he was also injured, he really stood no chance against Wyper's Burn Bazooka.
"Well... That about sums up our adventure..."
Enel blinked a few times as he tried to process what he had just heard.
'That was the most convoluted way he could've used to get to this island... How the fuck is he alive?'
No one could really fault Enel for thinking like that. It was literally a one-in-a-hundred lifetimes situation after all.
Both lucky and unlucky at the same time.
"Understood... Well, that's one way to do it, I guess..." Enel said as he scratched his chin a bit.
"I am unsure if that was a method anyone would think of..." Bellamy said as he tilted his head a bit.
"Did you at least get to eat that strange bird?" Enel ended up asking, as he picked his nose a bit.
"Unfortunately no..." Bellamy sounded quite sad when saying that.
"That's a shame," Enel said, a bit disappointed by the situation.
"Anyway, you likely aren't going to be kept here for much longer." Enel then spoke as he leaned back on his staff.
"Am I allowed to go free?" Bellamy seemed to instantly become excited at that.
"No. Well, in the future you will be. You will remain cuffed for a while, your task will be to help defend the island from now on."
"B-but I can't do much with Seastone draining my powers..." Bellamy said as he smiled a bit when hearing that he'd be let out of his cell.
"Don't worry about that! You will also be trained! Now, isn't that amazing?!" Enel clapped his hands as he turned around.
"Anyway, I'll make the arrangements, I'll visit sometimes to see if you're behaving. Till then!" Enel didn't bother to wait for Bellamy's response, simply leaving the Small-time pirate flabbergasted in his cell.
'Well... That was certainly informative... That's one way to call it, I guess.'
