Chapter 44: 44 MAKI
( ＴДＴ)
The words Maki said were not just some fluke or bullshit.
Maki whispered, "The world has changed."
Yoruichi did not really know what or how those words were connected to his bewilderment.
Then she saw Maki stand up from his chair, but his head was still lowered. His face could not be seen because his long black hair was covering it entirely.
As he walked out of the tree house, his long hair swayed with every step.
Yoruichi followed him to the door.
Maki walked outside the house. His steps continued across the tree's surface, and when he reached the dead end of the branch, he did not stop. He kept walking, not caring if he was going to fall.
And as expected, when he took another step—
He fell.
Yoruichi saw that he was truly lost.
Nemuri, Mei, and Nemu also did not understand what was happening to him. He had been okay earlier, but suddenly he was acting like he had gone crazy.
Still, they simply watched him fall.
They were not worried about him getting hurt.
They knew how tough he was.
While they were bewildered by what was going on with him—
Maki was angry at himself for being such a fool all this time.
---
[ Maki's POV ]
Fuck… fuck…
How come I didn't think about this?
How come I'm still thinking this world and mine are the same shit?
How come all these fucking years I've been acting like I'm still in a world where I just live and hunt for food?
How come… tell me…
And all this fucking time—for ten years… for fucking ten years—I only realized it now?
Fuuuuuck.
That's right.
This world is different.
Far too different.
I'm such a fool.
Come on, Maki. This is a different world.
I—I'm not in my hometown anymore.
I'm not a fisherman anymore.
I'm just Maki.
Maki of this fucking world.
And I can't go back anymore because I died… and someone...
someone gave me a chance to start over.
Hahahahahahahaha.
I'm really such a fool.
I died a long time ago.
I lost everything.
I'm really such a fool.
Haha–
Hahaha—
For a brief he stayed quiet and he whispered;
.
.
.
.
Mother…....
Looks like even in another life, in another world, you're always right.
When you have given my name..
I thought Maki was implying me to roll some sushi....because we're a Fisher man.....and that reasoning was accurate..
[ maki (巻き) primarily means "roll" or "to roll." ]
But—
Now I realize what you meant...
Maki…
Is the Maki Signifying TRUE HOPE.
[ 真希 (Maki): "True Hope." ]
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahaha…
Haha—
really what ....a fool , I am!
Mother....don't worry
I'm doing just well.
( ＴДＴ)
While he was falling, Maki felt a pat on his head.
He didn't know if it was the wind, but he felt it—a touch that could make his nightmares disappear.
The touch that taught him how to survive.
The touch that showed him he was loved.
Tears began to flow from Maki's eyes.
And he said—
"Thank you, Mother… thank you so much…"
He looks at the red sky, he closes his eyes and he whispered There's no net and most of all I ain't a fucking fish..
Maki clenched his fist. His right fist began to bulge, violet veins surfacing along his arm.
He flipped in the air and faced the ground below.
And he laughed.
"Hahahaha… be a witness to how a fool just realized he wasn't the one who rolls—but the one his mother called True Hope…"
His fist suddenly radiated powerful energy.
Yoruichi, who was staring at him, felt the pressure building in his right fist.
She panicked.
"T-this is bad…"
Even the black ribbon on Maki's wrist began malfunctioning.
In the monitoring room, Nemu's monitor flashed warning signals.
"W-what's happening?" Mei asked.
Nemu replied, "T-the ribbon is malfunctioning."
Nemuri, who stood beside them, saw everything.
She didn't know what had happened to him, but just seeing that expression on Maki's face made her left eye tear up.
She had never seen that look before.
It was as if he had been keeping something buried deep inside him that he could never say.
But this time—
He was free.
She smiled.
All of them watched Maki's lips curve into a smile.
A smile of finally letting go.
Then they heard his words.
It was not a whisper.
It was not a scream.
It was a statement.
Maki, falling from above, was about to release something he had kept buried all this time.
Maki laugh and Retorted—
"Hahahahaha…"
"World Destroyer…"
"Moa Moa no… Hyakubai…"
(*つ´･∀･)つ
Then—
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOM—
BOOOOOOOM—
Maki released his punch, multiplied by 100x, just before he hit the ground.
His Hashirama Physique.
His Arrancar race.
The 100x effect of Moa Moa.
All of it slammed down like judgment upon the very ground of the Chamber—
CRAAAAAAAAAACK—
Which meant this entire forest was bound to be destroyed.
( ´;ﾟ;∀;ﾟ;)
[ "Hahahahahaha…".
"Welcome, Maki—the soul in whom True Hope is found." ]
