292 chapter 27 (1/2)

Hearing this, the group of young trainers understood that they have no other options other than to fight. The thought of escape which would be the first thing to come in any person's mind, never occurred in the mind of these folks.

They were ready to fight, but not retreat unless they are absolutely need to do so. Above all else, they can escape easily but that would lead to the death of thousands of people on this cruise because of their inaction.

This is something an elder cannot deal with easily let alone young kids their age. They have the heroic spirit as any other kids their age do.

Even Alex who is very mature for his age have this spirit and he cannot just forsake them. But, they have to understand they cannot save everyone.

Bill continues to answer the questions Alex asked him earlier, ”They will contact us in about an hour time so the captain thinks to keep it hidden until they are half an hour away. This way the sailors can use martial law and restrain the passengers from goimg into complete chaos.

The captain has discreetly started to divide passengers between men and woman and even children to make sure that the chaos can be within a controlled range when it happens.”

This made everyone nod for they would do the same thing except many of them will forget about dividing the passengers which can cause greater chaos.

In life and death situations many people let go of their humanity and fall prey to their beastial instincts which makes them animals.

Alex in his time as the commander himself have dealt with those cases with absolute discretion without a shed of mercy to them.

” I agree with this distribution. But what is the punishment he has decided for the ones who break the rules and become Beasts?” Alex asked with his arms rested on the table in front of which the group sat with a cold and murderous glint shining in his eyes.

Bill and the others shuddered on seeing this look. These eyes weren't even directed at them, yet they feel the may die if they anger him even once in this situation. He controlled his shivering body, ” He didn't set one just yet, but wished to know if we can support him.

There are some people on board with considerable influence, some not losing to me. So he hopes we can support him. After all he is just a captain even though he is the leader here.

The aftermath of that is too severe, not only to him but also for us.” He said with a grave expression on his face.

These situations are not only related to security but also are political in nature in which victory means everything you did is worth it, but losing meant losing everything.

The children other than Alex have been in the politics of the world for quite sometime and know what this may lead to. Even though Alex never got involved in politics, it is something he was thought about by his grandpa before he started his trainer career and later by Prof. Oak after he become a member of the Oak Laboratory.

Alex sighed loudly and closed his eyes thinking of what he should do now.

His actions caused everyone to look at him.

After a minute of deep thinking, he opened his eyes which have clarity in them. He remembered he has the backing of three champion trainers and any one of them is enough to rock the entire Pokemon league itself.

For this if he utilised their prestige and name, they won't mind. They often said to him that he can use it to deal with tricky situations when he is in a predicament like now.

He said with confidence, ” If anyone break the rules when the martial law is imposed, then he will be punished severely. Any actions which can incite riot among the passengers or anyone causing such will be killed slowly.

Anyone who tried to take advantage of another passenger in that time, will be hung to the poles on the deck with ten cuts for every improper action he took towards the other.

He will be like that until we teach the land. If he survived he is lucky, and if not then it means Arceus loved him more than we originally thought he did.

And there will be no exception.” To make sure he was serious he let his entire presence loose.

It didn't target anyone but upon release it spread to the entire ship and involuntarily everyone turned to his direction and stopped whatever they are doing.
