Captain's Parrot (Oc x One Piece) Book 1

Down With The Palace!//Chapter 49

Running forward with her wings outstretched, Faythe had tied her messy hair up, just to keep it out of her way. She had long tossed away the horrid desert robe behind as she sprinted. Seeing Vivi already getting close to the towering wall, Faythe had to speed up. Pressing her wings closer to her side, she let the wind help boost her forward. Her talons digging into the sand to propel herself forward.

"OKAMA DASH!"

faythe glanced behind her and could see Mr. 2 gaining chase. Se had hoped her little distraction had given her and the Princess some time to make an escape.

Getting closer, Faythe outstretched her hand to reach Vivi.

"VIVI!" Faythe voice felt strained.

The said girl whipped her head around to see Faythe's outstretched hand reaching for her. Her face could be visibly seen brightening at the girl. She leaned back on the saddle and held her hand out, "TAKE IT!"

Faythe drove her legs to it's limit trying to speed up, the repeating ache that throbbed by the second started to make her want to drop right there. She leaned forward and took a leap of faith, her fingers barely touching Vivi's.

Vivi leaned further back and caught her hand, "I GOT YOU!" She lunged back in her saddle, yanking the red head with her.

Landing on the saddle, behind the princess, Faythe was beyond exhausted by that point and leaned on the girl's back.

"Leave the rest to Carue!" Vivi patted the girl's head smiling.

"You got it! Imma rest for a sec.." Faythe was trying to regain her energy and breathing.

"HOLD ON UUUUP! I'M GONNA EAT YOU DEAD MEATS RIGHT UP!" Mr. 2 stated in a unusual pitched voice.

"CARUE, NOOOO! WE'LL BE CORNERED IF WE TRY TO HEAD UP THE STAIRS! JUST LET ME OFF! I'LL FIGHT HIM!" Vivi pleaded as she saw the man gain speed on them.

"OH NO YOU AREN'T!" Faythe held the girl down by her waist and took the reins of the duck, "CARUE! HEAD STRAIGHT FOR THE CLIFFS!"

Carue glanced at Faythe with a hard look, then nodded. He took a sharp turn and headed straight for the towering steep cliffs.

"WHA- NO, YOU'RE GONNA CRASH INTO THE WALLS!" Vivi screamed.

Faythe couldn't help but grin as Carue did the opposite. He was running up the walls with all his strength and speed, "LET'S GOOO!" She yelled excitedly.

"HOW COULD A MERE DUCK RUN UP THE WALLS OF ALUBARNA!?"

Just as Carue was about to run off the steep cliff, Faythe handed Vivi the reins and quickly formed her wings and flapped a powerful gust to blow them forward.

"WE MADE IT!" Vivi cried tears of joy, "Even Mr. 2 won't be able to follow after us n-" Her comment was cut short as she and Faythe saw the said man start running up the side of the cliff.

"NOTHING'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN OKAMA! OKAMA KENPO... RELEVE OF BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS!"

"WHAT THE HELL!" Faythe busted out laughing, but was bonked by Vivi.

"NOT THE TIME!" She hollered, but her attention was then on the fighting in front of them. Multiple or maybe dozens of royal guards and rebellions were at each other's throats, trying to kill the other. Swords could be heard swinging or meeting another, gun shots were continuously being fired left and right. Bodies were being thrown to the ground like heavy bags of potatoes. Faythe could almost taste the tang of copper in the air.

Blood.

It was everywhere.

On the ground, in the sky, on the ones fighting, even on their own weapons.
