Pluto - 31
Upon drowning out the background sound of groaning, Pluto homed in his hearing to monitor the Sparrow Tower, and he took notice of the faint sound of burning flames. All he could speculate here was that Isaac had managed to cause a fire to burn down the greenhouse.
“Hey, you two,” he spoke to the two girls. “Go on ahead and head back to the ship. We’re leaving this place.”
“Alright,” Ara grabbed Rebecca by the hand as they sprinted off into the distance.
As he stood there with silence, watching the two of them leave, his eyes eventually shifted to the side upon hearing a ‘ding’ of an elevator. The unusual ears beneath his hood quickly went away, right before his hand pulled his hood back, revealing his face completely out in the open.
When Kory, lying with painful shallow breaths on the ground, caught a glimpse of the face, he was taken aback at how young this boy must be. Everything he had just encountered just now had been the result of some very young individuals relative to their capabilities. Even for the Grand Line, they were outliers.
Turning his head to the side, Pluto glimpsed upon Isaac stepping out of the building from over a block away as the ex-marine was sprinting in his direction where the port would be located.
“Ah, Isaac. Allow me to introduce you to someone,” the boy said tauntingly before gesturing his hands towards the bloodied, dusty, bruised body of a man in his late twenties lying flat on his back. “This is Kory Hideki! Kory Hideki, meet Isaac,” he reciprocated the gesture in reverse while getting these two to finally meet each other.
“So? How did it go on your end?” He asked the one-eyed solider.
“And, what would you like to do with this person?” said the raven-haired boy in a sadistic tone. He didn't care what happened to Kory, but he presented the beaten second-in-command to the formal navy soldier almost like a gift.
