Chapter 287 - A Pawn.
After quite some time, the situation in the old cave began to be a little conducive. The wind that is getting colder indicates the day begins late at night. The noise of the night animals has also adorned the sunyinya night. Occasionally, fireflies are also seen around Izumi, Hozuki, and Shoba.
"..... Shion's? Explain to me, who's the woman who made you come here to save her?" Izumi asked about the figure of a Shion that Shoba meant.
"She's a beautiful girl, she has an amazing smile. In fact, I'm sure any man who sees his smile will be blown away.." Shane began to explain.
Hozuki whispered to Izumi as Shoba explained, "Maybe the man she meant was herself.."
"Hmm, yes, too. Especially love at first sight.."
Shoba explained about Shion's figure at length with a happy face like someone who is kasmaran. However, her happy countenance began to change when, "However, I realized when I saw Shion for the first time, she smiled as if she were a forced smile. And, that forced smile is not something beautiful.."
"Then?"
"I realized something, the reason he had to smile in the sadness that enveloped him. Shion is a victim of Groombride, he will be sold, then will be made a slave..!! I can't take it..!!" Shoba was very upset, as if his emotions were starting to peak.
On the other hand, Hozuki and Izumi still listened carefully while Shoba was still explaining the story. Because so seriously listening to Shoba's story, the two of them even to the point of not blinking at all.
"..... That is, I came here, came to Lunarian Island to save a girl named Shion. Poor girl, she doesn't deserve the sadness of her beautiful smile. Then, I also intend to defeat that fucking Groombride.."
"For now, after being separated from your crew and your alliance, what are you going to do, Shoba?" ask Hozuki.
"About that matter, it seems like I should meet with my other crew. They were spies who I had the duty to search for Shion's whereabouts and I also got information about Lunarian Island from them." Shoba said.
"I thought all your crew had been caught, hadeh.." said Izumi.
"At that time all that was caught was me, Gyoshimaru, and Lucia. On the other hand, one of my crew named Ushiwakamaru along with the Kurama pirates, and the rest of my crew spread throughout the Lunarian region in search of information" Shoba replied.
"Then do you know where to meet the remains of your crew?"
"Hehey, for that I don't know either. I haven't had any contact since I got caught.."
Izumi and Hozuki immediately patted her head when they saw Shoba's stupidity. After a long discussion, share information. The three of them took a rest from the fatigue they were facing today.

Meanwhile, in a very secretive place in Crystalline Town. The place is quite dark even minimal will light. Seen Hibito Kurosaki with bandages on his head, he bent his knees before a man who sat a chair ala-ala throne chair.
"I-I'm sorry, Boss. I failed, I was defeated by those two pirate captains and let them both escape and roam freely in Crystalline Town.."
"That's true. But, why didn't Boss just claim to be the leader of the Elite Division to the public? Because I'm not worthy enough to be a leader.."
"Be quiet. You're just my pawn, Hibito. So, do what I tell you. Command is absolute. That's what Mr. Groombride taught me."
"Well, Boss Zerou.."
Kuuhaku Zerou, he is the true leader of the Elite Division. He made Hibito Kurosaki his pawn and was given to be the Elite leader in public. Zerou is the leader behind the scenes who controls Crystalline Town.
Not long after, Zerou also stood up from his throne seat. Walk towards the table made of wood. Take three pieces of paper that are posters of fugitives from Izumi, Hozuki, and Shoba jugas.
"For now, I will forgive all your mistakes. But, in exchange you have to arrest these three people.." Zerou showed this wanted poster to Hibito.
Seeing that, Hibito immediately stood up and bowed respectfully and agreed to the order given by Zerou, "Alright, Boss. I will summon the two Elite branches to gather. I'm sure, when we all come together, we can definitely defeat those two goddamn pirate captains.."
"Yes, I leave it to you. So, you need to complete this mission I'm giving you. Do not fail, if you fail and Mr. Groombride knows this, then the history of this Elite division is over." said Zerou, "The fate of the Elite division is within your grasp, Hibito. The future of Elite is in your hands."
"Then, allow me to go and set up a plan to capture the three of them, Boss.."
"Go quickly. You can't waste time. Failure is unforgivable, and success is absolute." Zerou said.
Hibito walked away from the secret place and began to arrange a meeting to the other two branches of the Elite Division. He plans to set up a strategy to capture Izumi, Hozuki, and Shoba as well. Will Hibito succeed after suffering a crushing defeat?

In the morning, Shoba, Izumi, and Hozuki had woken up from their deep sleep in an old hut on the outskirts of Crystalline Town. Shoba who began to recover a little immediately took off all his bandages. The three of them sat in a circle and began to discuss.
"Because you two managed to defeat the Elite member and its leader, Hibito, I'm sure we must be the target." said Shoba.
"Then, what are we going to do now?" ask Izumi and Hozuki simultaneously.
"It looks like we have to change appearances so as not to be caught by the enemy. If we get caught, then we won't be able to get out of Crystalline Town." said Shoba.
"Wait a minute, what kind of place are you going to after you get out of Crystalline Town?" ask Izumi.
"I will head to Rose Town, a city dubbed The Flower of City. Somehow, I was so sure that the remains of my crew were there. So, whether you come or not, it's both of you're choices.."
