“CHIEF!!!” The entire village broke out into screams and tears; it happened too quickly. One second the Chief was negotiating the safety of the village, the next his head was lying on the ground motionless. To such a remote and modest village, the notion of such human murder was beyond horrifying.
“Keep quiet you wussies’! Or I’ll cut all of ya heads off!” Axe Jack was both pleased and annoyed, waving his axe once more. His eyes once again returned to Anari’s bright yellow dress, looking like a sun in the middle of the dark night. His lips could only part, showing off his dog tongue.
“Come here peacefully, will ya’? Just let good ol’ Jack get a taste.” Axe Jack stood there, simply admiring Anari’s beauty. What he didn’t expect was for Anari to actual step-forward, as if she was about to comply.
“That’s right, be a good girl will y-”
“SLAP!~”
The entire crowd hushed. A blazing hand-mark was imprinted on Axe Jack’s face, just looking at it brought the feeling of pain. The sound of the slap was resounding; as if Anari had hit a drum and not a human face.
“YOU WHORE!” Axe Jack was beyond furious, his anger could crush mountains. He mercilessly slapped her to the ground. Her bright yellow dress spiraled onto the ground, causing a pleasant smile to spread onto his face.
“Don’t like that, do ya’?” He lifted the heel of his boot and held it above her cheek, ready to stomp on that pretty face in an instant. However, what he didn’t expect was..
“DON’T YOU...TOUCH HER!!!!”
Before Axe Jack could even react, he felt a small fist slam into the side of his face, dislodging some teeth there. It was Leon, who had jumped in a ferocious bout of anger, gathering all his strength into one punch. Axe Jack, a grown man of full age, lost one tooth and was sent stumbling due to such an attack.
But that wasn’t the end of it. Before even he could react, another blow landed directly on his stomach, this one caused by an even smaller fist. While the force wasn’t up to Leon’s, it definitely wasn’t a punch to laugh at. This was Kenji, who had reacted around the same time as Leon.
But the final nail in the coffin was the tiny foot that tripped Axe Jack. He was already stumbling from the force of two full-impact punches, and the trip sent him flipping face-first into the dirt. His axe had flown out of his hand, landing dangerously close to Anari’s head.

“C-captain!” The Viking Pirates crew didn’t even have time to react. The three kids seemed to have come out of nowhere, full on attacking their captain with scary unison and blinding speed. It was definitely an eye-opener for most present.
Also, it should be mentioned that such an event was witnessed by the men of Uxopia Village. Seeing three little boys do their most to protect their Aunt warmed their hearts - to say the least. Each and every one of them was filled with incredible bravery, feeling a surging emotion of heroism.
‘If those boys can fight, why can’t I?’
“Let’s kill these damn intruders!” And just like that, the men of the village used the element of surprise to attack the Viking Pirates. Hunting spears flew in the air and the sound of swords clashing filled the area.
Blood and war quickly consumed the area, and surprisingly, the Viking Pirates were pushed back. Captain Axe Jack, who had fallen onto the ground, had been stabbed in the throat by one of the brave men of the village. Without a leader, the Viking Pirates saw no point in fighting these unnaturally brave men. Instead, they decided to retreat to their ship and escape at full-speed.
If the Uxopia Villagers called the Marines, they risked the danger of being thrown in jail. Thus it was best to leave and escape rather than fight and be imprisoned.
After the Viking Pirates were pushed back to their ship, everyone in the village turned to the boys - only to find them gone. Aunt Anari had also disappeared; even though no one had seen them leave.
“Does anyone know where those boys live? If it wasn’t for them...I don’t know what would have happened.” The man who killed Axe Jack raised his voice, searching for the true heroes of the crisis. He remembered the feeling of helplessness when the Chief was killed and the sense of bravery he felt at seeing those boys fight. He openly attributed the villages’ success to that trio.
“They happen to be my neighbors.” Grandpa, the neighbor of Anari, spoke up from the observing elderly and women. He had also seen the boys act of heroism and wasn’t surprised at all.
“Take us to your house, senior.” One of the men spoke up. And thus they all followed Grandpa to Anari’s house.
When they came to the house, there was a piece of paper at the door with the words ‘DO NOT DISTURB’ in children's writing.
And, knowing that the sign wasn’t there before, everyone agreed to leave the house alone and go home and begin to mourn the chief. The sign almost reminded them of what happened today, sucking away the adrenaline from their body and replacing it with dreariness and sadness.
Everyone needed a day to themselves.
And within the Anari household…
“Leon, that was a pirate?” Kenji sat at the table with a twisted face of confusion and misunderstanding.
Leon described pirates as good people. Then why did these pirates attempt to harm the village? And they even dared to harm Anari, which only enraged him at the thought of it. And then when he thought of the Chief, tears welled into his eyes.
How could all these feelings come from a “pirate”? Sadness, anger, and death: this wasn’t what Leon described! He talked about adventure and happiness!
“...” Leon was quiet, treating to the unconscious Anari lying on the table.
He didn’t want to talk about it.
