After arranging the next phase of the plan, Old Geez walked back to the underground forest with the two villagers.

He looked at the busy Riz who was currently examining a fish that was captured in the pond.

"Riz, how's your part?" He sat beside Riz and messed up the hair of little Jas who kept struggling that made him laugh.

"Well everything in my part is successfully done, yours?", Mother Riz replied while she skillfully handles a glittering silver needle and slowly penetrates it in the sack of the fish, pulls it, and checks if the needle turns black.

"It is done, all of the traces in the forest that we create while evacuating everyone was erase, and I task the twin brothers to create a trace that all of the villagers are in chaos, in every hut they will found scattered clothes, unfinished food and many footprints that will lead in the back of the island so that we can plant an idea to them, that all of the villagers escape at the back of the island" Old Geez frown while narrating his arrangement and ponder if he forgot something but his hand is still messing up the hair of the kid that wants to escape but can't.

"Well, I hope that the pirates will be misled easily, because if not." Riz put the fish in the tray.

"They might burn the whole forest just to smoke us out" Old Geez look at villagers who cannot hide the fear in their eyes.

"Yeah, that's one of the possibilities, but I will tell you that the forest is not easily burned because it is not an ordinary forest" Old Geez smiled unknowingly.

"Old Shit! stop messing my hair now!" before he retracted his hand, he felt the bite of this little brat "are you a dog little jas?"

"hahaha" Riz laughed.

"Well, you are right but we must stay vigilant. We don't know what might happen"

Old Geez nods then he turned around to give the signal "Go! tell others to pull back in the underground."

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

The villager replied in a haste "but chief if we retract them, we don't know what is the situation. we are blind to what the pirates are planning to do."

"It's okay, I let zilo steer one of the storage ships to the sea if he sees the signal, and swim back to the river in the middle of the forest. that is the decoy that they will chase"

Mother Riz stayed silent and only Tom replied "Who will signal Zilo at the back of the island? He's too far away from us, we can't just fire a flare to the sky. It's too noticeable by the pirates."

Old Geez chuckled "That's the job of the pirates, you will know in the right time"

Tom was confused "What if the pirates found out that it was an empty ship, they are still going back again to the island. And in addition to this their anger will be fueled because they feel that we fooled them."

Old Geez smiled to them "What if, while they are chasing the decoy ship --"

Shore of the Spiral Island

The pirate ship docked on the shore

"Grahagaha What a peaceful island! hmmm...", the captain is the first to jump out of the ship and look at the island.

'Too quiet' he looked around and found that there were many fishing boats lined up and tied in pieces of wood nailed in the sand.

'interesting... grahagaha', the captain's thought.

"Captain! there is a village 15 miles ahead, but it looked like it was abandoned" A pirate crew in the crow nest of the pirate ship shouted.

"Go scattered and find these villagers, I don't want anyone, even a dog slipping again, or I'll skin all of you alive! Do you hear me!", he viciously glared at the crew.

"Yes captain!", the crew answered immediately fearing that their captain would be dissatisfied and hacked them to pieces.

"Go and if you find them, I'll let you do whatever you want to these pheasants! Grahagahagaha", he still knows how to take care of his crew, he needs cruel means to fear him and reward them to motivate them to do his bidding.

"Whoaaa !" "Go found those pheasants!" "hahahah! let me have young girls to play with haha!", the pirates' crew ran like a hungry beast."

Eureko jumps down on the ship.

"I'll go investigate what this village is up to, Captain" he smiled while waiting for his captain's permission.

"Go find them for me", he looked ahead and smiled "leave it to me captain" and he started to walk like he was in a park and enjoying the environment.

The captain looked up to the mountain in the forest, feeling its majesty, but he snorted and jumped into the ship.

Fishwheel village

Noise of throwing things, broken plate and glass, the hacking sound of the hut of the villagers.

" There is no one here!"

"Godamnit! where are they hiding!"

"Go! found them!"

"Look for an underground tunnel, there might be hiding there!", the pirate crew destroyed everything to find a secret hideout or tunnel that the villagers escaped to.

"Stop! You idiot mongrels!", Eureko stops this unorganized group of pirates.

Scratching his scar while pondering, then he let out a series of commands.

"All of you split into two groups, one group will find all of the things that are missing like clothes, foods, and things that can be used while in hiding. In addition, keep an eye to a secret tunnel, especially the well! examine it!"

"The other group will look at the forest, search for a trace if there are footprints or a path that is hacked by a machete or a big knife!"

"Yes !", the pirate crew was split into two groups and completed the task that was given to them.

He looked at the huts that were destroyed and kept on walking.

Reaching the periphery of the forest he looked around, he squatted and looked at the dirt that he stepped on.

He looked at others who were venturing the first layer of the jungle.

He pointed to one of them "You! go back to the ship and go pick up gasoline, we will burn this whole forest. we will smoke them out" Eureko smiled viciously.
