As he gathered his wits to respond to the girl’s chastising him the wave of exhaustion struck and he tumbled onto the ground helplessly with drool dripping slowly from his mouth. His eyes glistened over in a dazed look as he stared off in the distant space while within the confines of his mind cursing himself for acquiring such a troublesome fruit. Wishing that he had paid more attention to what he ate, Jack struggled to crane his neck Syph’s directions with a weak smile on his face,
“This is gettin’ pretty old, huh?” he asked whimsically before allowing his head to drop back to the ground.
Pelu~Pelu~Pelu…Pelu~Pelu~Pelu…Pelu~Pelu~Pelu a Den Den Mushi rang loudly in his ears and he waited a moment for Syph to pick it up in hopes that it would give him the time he needed to recover. When her response didn’t come he simply assumed that she was being overly cautious about Jack, but that didn’t explain the itching sensation that filled his left ear. With a strained effort he tapped his ear twice and suddenly began picking a formal voice,
“Yes. We have confirmed reports of a huge explosion of some sort in the 8th ward of the Kingdom. We are sending units over there to see what happened now. We have suspicions that it is the doing of the 40 million dollar bounty Jack Dancer…”
Jack kept receiving the rest of the conversation, but he already knew what he needed to know: Marines were on their way here!
Bracing both arms on the ground, he struggled to push himself upright before warning Syphalia; this day seemed to get more and more complicated as time went by.
“W-we gotta get outta h-h-h…” he stammered through clenched teeth.
