Chapter 9 - A Battle For Freedom

The chains restricted the more I struggled it was as if everything slowed I saw the magic nearly about to hit me but then. Humongous cracks appeared all around me in the air as my fingers curled the whole area around began to shake ever so slightly and I managed to hands a bit causing the chains to shatter instantly. As I began to move my hands farther and farther I pumped more and more ethernano causing more and more cracks to appear. I felt the muscles in my arm ripping and tearing as I continued moving my arms the whole area for a three kilometers began to shake violently all the mages were stumbling the spells began to dissipate. The ground began to crack all over causing the beginning of a ravine, I looked on as the mages appeared to panic.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah."

I yelled out with all the pain and rage I felt as I pulled my arms more and more I felt my ligaments begin to crack. I was in a level of pain that was once unimaginable as I continued this was a battle for freedom, sacrifices needed to be made.

'No matter what I will keep my freedom, no matter what I will not fail my dad once again. No this time I will not lose, I have to spread the next Whitebeard once more."

I began to pull even harder as more and more cracks appeared I felt my ethernano began to dwindle there was maybe half of it left already.

"The kids a monster, we must eliminate him for lord Zeref!"

"No we mustn't you idiot we can sacrifice him to resurrect our lord!"

"Everyone attack he can't last forever."

But then the ground swallowed up the mages who spoke as lava began to surface, as the the cracks delved deeper and deeper.

And then I managed to bring my arms back to their respective positions causing the earth all around me to explode into tiny bits which then blasted the mages away some were even filled full of rocks.

As I fell onto my knees I saw noone was left in my current sight. I struggled to get back up due to my arms being unusable, currently I could barely lift them I couldn't even feel my arms the pain was numbed completely.

'I need to get to that ship they had here, it should still be intact I hope. I need to remember not to do something like that again that fucking hurt so much. But I guess I won't be able to train my seismic magic, well I can still regain my mastery over water so that will always be good.'

And so the young boy with currently unusable arms walked past the devastation he caused, all the corpses, crevices, and even the ravine. He walked past it all with one goal in mind get to the ship and sail away.

Each step I took I had to fight off the fatigue in my legs but I ignore it completely I kept walking on until I reached what was left of the docks but the ship was completely intact.

I began to try to control the water I managed to control the water and transformed it into a tendril to lift me up and gently set me on the ship.

And then I created a current while controlling the water allowing the ship to sail away. Getting away from the destruction of the village, and the defacing of the land the village stood upon.

I began to float away I had no destination but I didn't need one I would do whatever I wanted later for now I was going to rest while trying to meditate; so I headed up towards the ships wheel and looked out towards the open seas.

"Dad I am finally free. And soon I will let the world know the name Whitebeard I will make sure to continue your legacy dad; I'll have my own family one day. But none of this matters without money, money has always made the world go round, and I will have it all. I will become the king of the pirates for you dad!"

I spoke out with such enthusiasm it was as if I wasn't tired, as I looked at the seemingly endless blue sea as it freely went wherever it wanted to; a small smile made it's way to my face as a single tear ran down the left side of my face.

"I miss you so much, I wish we could still be together but I know you wouldn't want that. I bet your even more free than you were alive, I hope your happy wherever you are."

[POV Town Ruins]

A shadowy figure burst out of the rubble, and then the shadows disappeared the one knowns as number one rose up.

"Damn it, those fools were supposed to reinforce the assault but they left ahead of the time assuming it would be a success. It seems they didn't even gather all the information we needed. Now I need to explain to my higher ups how and why this was a failure, and reveal all information we have on the boy."

"I'll just teleport back to the tower, I will ensure Lord Zeref is revived no matter what, even if I have to personally hunt the boy. It seems he took the boat due to the lack of more planks drifting, I will let the others know at once."

And so the shadowy figure disappeared from the devastation that was caused by the young boy. There was not a single living being left within the vicinity.

A few hours later...

A blue robed figure appeared closing his eyes for a few seconds before looking about the rubble. And began to write something on a slip of paper, and then disappeared once more.
