Chapter 2: An unwelcoming city and new companions
Nami was worried and rightly so, she accompanied two of the three furious brutes of the crew in a city where much of the population were pirates who made stops. She was more than sure that a fight would break out and that coincidentally, her two companions, Luffy and Zoro, would be in the middle.
"Well do not worry too much either, you have to focus on your goal," she said to herself to give herself courage because, yes, they needed information on how to get to the celestial island that indicated their log pose, she hoped to find information quickly.
They entered a bar and Nami knew immediately that the problems would follow. There were several people who caught the attention of the three newcomers:
The first was sitting on the right of the counter, he was tall, fat, and looked extremely dirty, but he was clear of something strong.
The second was sitting at a table in a corner of the room and looked like the kind of person who was going to get them into trouble, he had a bad grin and clearly a pirate captain in view of his outfit.
The last however surprised Zoro, who used to gauge the people he met, by his appearance. It was indeed a boy who was barely back in puberty, he was small and had silver hair. Zoro did not understand why he felt like a kid could be a potential danger. But when he saw the icy blue eyes of the latter, he realized that this child knew how to fight and was potentially ready to kill his opponent in a fight. But for the moment he threw them a curious look that gave him a cute look that almost cracked Nami.
(Killua's POV)
The three who had entered a few minutes earlier caught Killua's attention. Not only did they all give a strong impression of the ambition that each had and their general power. But he who wore a straw hat had literally impressed him. Despite his honor scorned by a fool of the first order (but whose head was still worth 55 million berrys) he had finally burst out laughing telling his two comrades that it was useless to fight for so little. Killua had been impressed by this strength of mind that made him think a bit about Gon.
He followed them from a distance and the conversation they had with this man, certainly big but very strong with an ambition that seemed as great as that of the straw-hat type, finished Killua. It was the people Gon and he were waiting for.
He looked for Gon and found him quickly and the latter announced him with joy.
"Ah Killua, I was looking for you, I have a really good catch, you'll see that.
_forget Gon, I have better, I found pirates as we expected
_They are worth how much? Gon asked, thinking of their usual activity in this city.
_No, Baka. Pirates like we were looking for to board with them.
_AAAH, I had lost hope of finding some like that, they are looking for this famous One Piece?
_Yes, and the next leg of their trip would be an island in the sky.
_WAAAH, what are we waiting for? Let's go ask them to take us with them.
_Yep, I agree.
_Ah, by the way, what was this good catch?
_A head with 42 million berrys. He was not that strong, I won quite easily. Money is in my bag.
"Well played, in a way, that will make us one more argument.
The two went after the pirates with their straw hats.
(Back to Mugiwaras)
Nami did not at first understand Luffy's reaction in the bar, but hey, his honor was not that bad and they avoided a fight. But they did not get any information on the celestial island. As they began to return to Going Merry, they met Robin, who was also fishing for information on her side.
"Did you find any information, Robin? Nami asked, hopeful.
_No direct information, but I learned that there was an original living on the other side of the island that could potentially inform us. His name would be Montblanc Criquet. And you? Will you introduce me to these two children who follow you?
Luffy, Zoro and Nami turned to see two young pre-teens running towards them. Zoro and Nami immediately recognized the kid from the bar they were in a few minutes earlier, the one who was with him was one of those friends. According to Zoro, the second looked more childish and sweeter, but it reminded him too much of Luffy so that he thinks that boy is helpless.
Nami was the first to react:
"What do you want, children? She asked the question about your kind so as not to frighten them too much.
_We would like to embark on your boat and sail the seas as a pirate with you; Gon replied with his usual innocence.
_Your cash side is good sometimes, Gon; Killua thought, taking a little kitten's head. "
Gon's sentence deceived Nami, she was going to crop the two kids who must have been a little crazy to want to become pirates so young but Luffy spoke first
"What can you bring on our boat? Asked the young captain.
_Gon and I are both good enough in combat, I am personally a pretty good fighting strategist too, as for Gon he has a good basic knowledge of how to handle a boat in a general way; Killua replied to prove the interest these pirates could have in recruiting him and Gon.
_If you are not strong enough it is not worth taking you with us, make a standoff and we will see your strength; Zoro replied, also a little mixed up at the idea of accepting two kids in the crew.
_Ok, let's do it on this barrel over there; replied a cheerful Gon.
Zoro and Gon faced each other and began their showdown. Zoro was surprised by Gon's immense strength, he put all he could into his arm to defeat the pre-adolescent who was facing him. Gon on his side struggled against his opponent who was a little stronger than expected. They went there so hard that the barrel on which they had taken support broke.
"Well, we say tie; said a Zoro all the same of this result.
_Okay ; Gon replied, who was happy to make new friends.
_Good if you, you are as strong as your boyfriend; said Luffy to Killua; then there is no problem. From now on, you are both part of my crew.
_YEAH! shouted Gon and Killua in unison, jumping three meters high.
But it would be a euphemism to say that they were just happy because luck had smiled on them and the adventure had begun again.
Note from the author: that's it, they met. Rest assured I will explain very soon what Gon and Killua were doing in this "new world" before meeting the pirates at Straw Hat. Josh b: A big thank you to you and reassure you, I intend to continue updating up to catch One Piece where it is currently by adding Hunter x Hunter characters when I judge the right moment. Thank you again, it makes you want to continue.
There will certainly be no chapters until next week, I'm having a pretty busy weekend, sorry.
Also I will take advantage of these notes at the bottom of the page to answer the different reviews and reviews that I will receive between two chapters, so do not hesitate to do.
