| abstract | - New Horizon! Chapter 4 - Reef Island Guardians ?????: Yet another meaningless day on this bloodthirsty ocean. ????: AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ?????: What the... ?????: Oh... that's new... ?????: What the hell is going ooooooooonnnn!!! Nova: I-I sh-sh-should s-stay inside, n-n-next t-time. Nova: So this is why it's called Reef Island... Nova: This world has some truelly amazing things. ?????: Guh. Damn ship falling from the sky... why the hell did a ship fall from the sky in the first damn!!.... Random Dog: Rrrr? Male Villager: Well, If we apply all of our timber over towards the homes along the eastern side of the village, then a majority of the village houses will be repaired, and alot of us will have homes through the winter. Elderly Villager: You are correct, but several will suffer aswell. And we wouldn't have the room to accomodate them all. So we need to find a way to give them all a home. Male Villager: I see... but unfortunately that is a risk we shall have to take. Elderly Villager: No it is not. If we apply the timber to roof the houses and supports then we shall merely have to find a valuable source of heat that can keep us warm until the supplies come in. Male Villager: Very well. . . Nova: Excuse me, uhh I'm looking for some information on an individual. Elderly Villager: I see. Would you be looking for one of the Reef Island Guardians perhaps? Nova: Aye... but uhh... this place is devastated... did something happen to them? Elderly Villager: I'm afraid their time is over, like an apple past it's prime they have begun to wither away. One became corrupt on power, and became a monster. The other, glooms in depression over the loss he had sustained in defending the village. Nova: I see... What do you mean by... monster?? Elderly Villager: Have you ever heard of the term... awakened zoan? Nova: I ... have met it's kind before... Why do you ask? Elderly Villager: Reef Island has long been protected by the Lockheart Family, and in exchange they were granted a high amount of respect here. Aswell as supplies, food and drink for free. They were granted anything and everything. In exchange they stuck to their words. Protecting the island from Pirates and Marines alike, leaving the island unharmed... Elderly Villager: It was beautiful. But at the same time, it was that of a nightmare. Our strongest ever Guardian. Meka Lockheart, consumed a Devil Fruit granted unto him and his son by my brother, the village elder before me. But no-one saw his lust for violence and power, he awakened his fruit's power exponentially, and was unable to reverse it. He became an awakened zoan, a monster. And started to ravage the village. His son was the only one brave enough to confront the monster, consuming the fruit he had hoped to sell for money to help the village, he set forth and confronted the monster he once loved as a father. A fierce battle between the two erupted, and in the end. He was defeated, his father escaped from the island, flying in the direction of the Grand Line. Leaving his son half dead. After taking the life of his own daughter in law and grandson, aswell as the numerous lives of our community, and my brother. Now, all that you see. Is all that is left. Nova: And what of Drake? Is he dead? Has he gone out to confront his father?! Tell me!! Elderly Villager: No, he sticks to his promise, he resides here protecting the island, until he considers himself strong enough, he won't leave. Nova: I see.... Well... As Long as he's here... I'm not wasting my time. Heh. Nova: You gave me the information I wanted, so in return I'll help you rebuild your village! Elderly Villager: Well.. excuse me... but if you're looking for Drake... you won't find him in the village... Nova: You said he's not gonna leave until he get's stronger right? Nova: Well then, I think it's right to say I got enough time on my hands. Since the person I'm searching for isn't going anywhere, then I've no need to at the moment!! I'm an impressively patient person!! Elderly Villager: I-I didn't catch your name? Nova: Hehe.. The names Nova Blade, former revolutionary soldier and current free-lancer. As he asked the question, Nova split into several Nova's as they all started repairing the village, using the timber and even using the splinters found upon the ground. His finger's glew as they welded bit on bit and rock on rock, effectively using small pieces to restore the once broken village. The Male villagers looked on, as they smirked in a displeased manner whilst several of the women fell head over heels for Nova. Male Villager #1: We're not gunna let him show us up are we boys? Other Male Builders: Hell no!! Elderly Villager: It's good to see the village so lively so quickly... not all hope is lost for us it seems big brother.. Previous Chapter | Next Chapter
