10 The Gorgons (1/2)

By afternoon Nate was able to see an island at the horizon, and his father informed him that they are nearing their destination, they will be staying at this island for three days before returning back.

As they got off the ship, Nate was impressed by the difference between the two islands where one was like a village and the other like a town, they both had their own distinctive ambiance.

Nate was taken by his father to an inn, where they booked rooms for their stay in the island, his father then gave him some money and told him he was free to tour around the island but comeback by the time of dinner. Leon then left the inn as he had to meet some friends and wasn't worried as he knew how strong Nate was.

Nate left his baggage at the inn at went about exploring the island, he was fascinated by the different food stalls, as most of them served foods that was impossible to get back on earth due to the lack of ingredients. Luckily his father has left him some money with which he bought all kinds of dishes that caught his eye.

Another difference he noticed was that the people in this world consumes enormous amounts of food compared to people from earth and it can be associated with the difference in physique as they generally much stronger than those of earth.

By the time he finished going through almost all of the food stalls it was evening and the sun was setting beyond the skyline, he thought it was about time he returned back to the inn and started making his way back when he noticed a group of familiar figures rushing into an alley.

He was inwardly shocked and wanted to confirm whether he had seen right, he ran to that alley and followed them deeper, where he noticed that the group of three where assaulted by two men wearing suit that reminded him of Cipher Pol agents.

It was then that Nate clearly saw faces of the group that was assaulted, after which he didn't hesitate to rush in and knocked out those agents and since he sneak attacked them they failed to react and was instantly taken down.

”Who are you?” asked the one of them warily

”My name is Nate. Its a pleasure to meet you too, Princess of the amazon.” said Nate

”Ho..How? How did you know?” questioned Hancock while shielding her sisters from Nate.

”Don't worry, I mean no harm. I am not a Marine. Let me help you, I can get the three of you away from the island.” said Nate amiably

”No need, we can take care of ourselves.” stated Hancock haughtily.
