-Morning (On the Merry)
As the morning light shined down on the Going Merry, everyone was up and about doing their daily things as they prepared not only for the next island, but also to make sure they would be able to protect Vivi from any more of the Baroque Works agents from before.
Zoro as usual was lifting the weights he had in order to keep his strength at its fullest potential, his thoughts still recalling not only Mihawk, but also that strange man Turles who he still remembered went toe to toe with Gohan.
If THAT was the kind of power they were going to encounter, he needed to up his training regime even further. Mihawk was still his main goal, but doing this would help get further to prepare for his future fight against the Greatest Swordsman.
If I want to make sure I'm prepared for any powerful enemy that comes our way, I can't falter once in my training, Zoro thought to himself, his serious tone never leaving.
Meanwhile in the back of the ship, Usopp was currently making something for Nami to use as he had been approached by her after that night with that Turles guy. She admitted she hated not being able to do anything and while she'd still let the heavy hitters of their crew handle such powerful people, she at least needed something better to defend herself except for some simple pole of hers.
Of course being one who wanted to be a Warrior, Usopp took the opportunity to say something in the lines of how Warrior-Like it was to do such a thing...only for him to shut up as Nami told him that if it wasn't to her standards, she'd fine him 100,000 berries that he would have to pay up.
And so being basically blackmailed into making her a weapon, the Straw Hat's sniper was focused on making Nami's weapon, What is it with her and her money? You'd think she'd care more for her life than some stupid berries.
Speaking of said Navigator, Nami was currently looking over a map she had stolen from the bounty hunters back at Whiskey Peak which showed some of the islands nearby, but the only one she saw as closest was Little Garden from what Miss All Sunday had explained to them.
Beside her, Vivi stood also looking at the map as she turned to the Navigator, "Have you discovered anything on the map Nami-san?"
Nami shook her head as she turned to her, face showing slight worry mixed with irritation, "No, besides the fact that the closest island on here is where we're heading to."
Vivi nodded, knowing it couldn't have been that easy, turning her direction to the Main Deck as she could see Gohan sitting cross legged on the floor, using the rail as a thing to lean on.
Said Hybrid was currently meditating as his thoughts went back to Turles...the image of him still sending shivers considering the fact he looked deathly similar to his father.
Just who is he? I still don't know anything about him besides the fact he hates my father and that he knows me, yet I don't know him, Gohan thought to himself.
How was that possible? From what he knew, his father had never mentioned meeting someone who looked just like him, let alone meeting another Saiyan besides Vegeta, Raditz and Nappa.
It just...didn't add up.
"Hey Luffy!"
Gohan was abruptly brought out of it as Sanji's voice spoke up which was directed to Luffy who...for some reason was looking away as the cook approached him.
Luffy was terribly trying to act normal as Sanji crouched down to his level, "W-What is it S-Sanji?"
Being one to get straight to the point, he got right to it, "You should know why. How the hell did all of our food go away in only a few days when it evened out for all of us to last till we got to the next island?"
Gohan watched on and...found a bit of humor in the Scenario as Luffy tried his best to play it like it was nothing with Sanji grabbing his chin, "Don't even try it. I can see through that face of yours."
The rubber captain didn't want to budge, so Sanji accepted it as he let go...only to play his captain like a fool, "Oh you got something on your lips."
Luffy panicked as his hands trailed over his lips upon that reveal, "Crap! I didn't know that!"
*BAM!* "IT WAS YOU!"
Landing a hard kick into his head, Luffy was sent hurtling into the rail, literally turning into a spring on impact, before laying flat on the floor defeated.
"Damn idiot...he always has to eat everything himself," Sanji muttered to himself.
As he turned to Nami about thinking of getting a lock for their fridge, Gohan turned to Luffy as he slowly got up, "You do know about saving food right? It's not good to just eat everything like that."
Luffy pouted, "I can't help it! I'm always hungry so I eat when I'm hungry!"
Gohan sighed in defeat...but smiled afterwards however, "I see...sounds just like how my dad was back then."
Surprisingly, that had caught his attention as the rubber captain turned to face Gohan, "Really? Did he like to eat a lot too?"
Letting a genuine laugh out, Gohan proceeded to tell Luffy more about his father, "A lot? He ate way more than a lot. From what he told me, back then when he was a kid, he ate so much food that he nearly bankrupted an entire restaurant in only minutes!"
To his surprise, Luffy looked genuinely shocked, "Seriously!? He eats WAY more than I do!"
Now that made Gohan laugh for once, not expecting him to have taken it so shockingly, "Well, I don't know much you can fully eat, but I can bet he'd give you a run for who can eat the most!"
And again, Luffy took that as a challenge, "Well, if I ever meet your dad, I'll definitely challenge him to an eating contest!"
G-Gohan...I'm so sorry...
Gohan's eyes suddenly showed an intense pain as the words Luffy chose made him remember the day he wasn't able to make it...the day his father had died.
Looking down to the ground as he held his head, Luffy's happy tone immediately switched to a worried one, not expecting that sudden shift, "H-Hey, you alright?"
As quickly as it came, Gohan shook his head and he looked about as normal as he could, "Y-Yeah, I'm fine."
Not wanting to draw it any further though, he got up from his meditating position and went to the front to stare out into the sea.
Luffy watched him leave, but shrugged his shoulders, thinking it may have just been him.
But unknown to Gohan, both Nami and Vivi noticed it as they had overheard their conversation about who could eat the most.
"Did you see that? It looked like...Gohan was in pain," Vivi told Nami.
Nami nodded, "Yeah...it was only brief but...that look he had...it almost reminded me of...when I was a kid back at my home."
The same look she and Nojiko had when they saw Arlong kill their mother...
She knew Gohan still had some things he hadn't told them, but that look alone further added that he MUST be hiding something from them that he's not telling them.
For now though, Nami kept it in the back of her mind as her eyes went to the front of their ship and she could see something further down in front of them.
She looked closely...before she was able to see that it was an island and their Log Pose was pointing towards it, "Hey guys! There's an island up ahead!"
Everyone immediately dropped what they were doing and joined up at the front of the ship, all staring towards the island they were heading to, noticing the dense and thick trees it had surrounding it.
"So that's Little Garden?" Vivi asked.
Nami nodded, "There's no denying it...that's the island, not only on the map, but the one Miss All Sunday warned us about."
Usopp gulped a bit upon seeing the dense jungle, "G-Guys, I uh...don't think I'll be getting off this time. I have a rare case of Can't Step foot on dangerous Island disease."
Zoro promptly smacked him in the back of the head, "Like that's a real disease."
Meanwhile, Vivi walked up to Gohan as he stared at the island and while they didn't show the intense glare like before, they still showed a look of uncertainty in them.
"Is...there something wrong Gohan?" Vivi asked.
Gohan turned to her and shook his head, "No, but...I sense some...odd energies on the island...they feel alive, but...ancient for some reason."
Vivi raised an eyebrow, "Ancient? What do you mean by that?"
"I...don't know how to explain it, but...let's just take this carefully when we arrive," Gohan told her,
Vivi nodded, turning back to the island as the Going Merry sailed towards the island...the group not prepared for not only what was awaiting them...but that there was a follower behind them who was still on their tail.
-In the midst of Little Garden...
It didn't take long for the group to find themselves in the middle of the dense jungle, sailing through a river that allowed them all to look around their environment to spot anything.
Well...spot being a term as all they could see was just dense jungles after dense jungles.
"W-Whoa...I've had my share exploring a forest, but not something as dense as this," Usopp muttered in disbelief.
Sanji took a puff of his cigarette as he looked around their surroundings, "So this is Little Garden? Doesn't seem so little to me unless the little part means us."
But of course as the others looked around, Nami was the one to get everyone's attention, "Alright guys! So now that we're here, let's go down our plan while we wait for the Log Pose to set!"
Listening to her instructions, everyone gathered into a circle as she began to explain her plan, "So! Since we have no idea what the heck is awaiting us out there in the jungle or if there might be any of those Baroque Works people out there, our best bet is to just wait here at the ship until the Log Pose resets!"
A majority of the group was keen to follow that idea, except for a few of them who didn't like the idea.
The obvious one who wasn't liking the plan was Luffy as he pouted, "Aw, but I wanted to go explore the jungle! I can just smell adventure!"
Nami gritted her teeth as she turned to her captain, "You do know the situation we're in right?! We can't risk going into that jungle! Did you not hear my warning about what could be in there?!"
Luffy nodded, "Yeah! That's why I'll just beat them up if I encounter any of that!"
The next person to speak against the plan surprisingly was Sanji as he walked beside her, "As much as I hate going against what you tell us Nami-San, I'm afraid I can't. Considering we don't have any food left, I need to head out and see if I can find anything that could be considered food for us."
"S-Sanji-kun, you too?!" Nami said in disbelief.
The last person who wasn't keen on staying on the ship was Zoro as he was already getting up on the rail and was prepared to jump into the dense jungle, "No need to worry. Knowing you and how terrible your food is, I'll find something that you won't be able to mess up."
And almost immediately, Sanji was standing beside Zoro as their rivalry sparked up once more, "What was that? Did you say you could find something I can't mess up?"
"Did I stutter? I'm sure you heard me loud and clear, shitty cook," Zoro replied.
Sanji gritted his teeth slightly in annoyance, "I heard you and I bet I can find something better than whatever garbage you'll get."
"Is that a challenge?" Zoro asked with slight annoyance in his tone.
The Chef turned to him with a cocky smirk, "Maybe it is. The first one to bring something back that's either bigger or looks like it'll be delicious will be the winner!"
Zoro had his own smirk show as he gripped his sword, "You're on!"
And just like that, the two jumped off into the forest with no worry of what was awaiting them much to the dismay of Nami and Usopp.
"WAIT A MINUTE YOU TWO!" Nami tried yelling out to them.
And to her dismay once more, Luffy was next to go as he stretched his arm out to grab a tree, "Well, since they went, I'm going too!"
"NOT YOU TOO LUFFY!" Nami yelled out to him, watching her captain rocket off into the jungle.
Gohan who just watched the three leave sighed, knowing that they weren't going to be waiting once Nami brought up her plan, "I had a feeling they'd leave."
Turning to Nami, he reassured her of what he would be doing, "I'm going with Luffy to make sure nothing happens to him, but in case I sense anything dangerous near you guys, I'll be back immediately."
Nami sighed in defeat, but was happy to hear at least Gohan was making sure they'd be safe, "Thanks Gohan...at least I can count on you."
Nodding to her, the Hybrid was about to head off and join with Luffy, but Vivi stopped him as she grabbed his hand.
Caught off guard by the sudden move, Gohan turned to her with a confused look, "Vivi? Something wrong?"
"C-Can...I come with you?" Vivi asked him.
The three there were surprised by the sudden question as Usopp clearly stated in words, "You too Vivi?! I thought you would've stayed here!"
Gohan couldn't help but agree, "Usopp's right. You'll be a lot safer here and considering this island has things that might be really dangerous, I don't want to risk you getting hurt."
Vivi shook her head however, "As much as I appreciate you all looking out for me, I can't just sit around and do nothing. I have to do something...and I want to start by going with you Gohan-san."
Gohan looked at her for a moment, before nodding, "Alright...but stay close alright?"
Vivi nodded as the Hybrid proceeded to lift her bridal style, much to the surprise of Nami who blushed a bit at the sight and Usopp's mouth opened as he hadn't expected Gohan to be so bold like that.
Not noticing the looks though, Gohan proceeded to float over to the island's floor and settled Vivi down onto her feet.
"Thank you," Vivi told him.
The Hybrid simply smiled and with her beside him, he prepared to lead the way-
*QUACK!*
When the sound of a duck from the ship stopped them.
Vivi gasped as she had forgotten, "Carue! I almost forgot about him!"
And sure enough, standing at the rail was her pet duck who was looking shocked that she'd leave without him!
In a cute manner, Vivi turned to him and apologized to her pet and friend, "I'm sorry Carue! I didn't mean to forget about you like that!"
Carue quacked back in a mixture of betrayal, but understanding as while he felt betrayed that Vivi would leave him, considering their situation where safety mattered more, he understood that she'd forget.
Of course, he wasn't really mad at her about forgetting her, he had a habit of sometimes sleeping on the job and not beside Vivi so he technically wasn't one to talk about being left behind.
Chuckling at the scene, Gohan floated over to Carue to bring him over, "Hang on, I got you."
Holding him by his side, the Hybrid brought them back to where Vivi was standing and the moment they landed, Carue immediately rushed her and quacked happily as he leaned his neck into her side.
Vivi smiled and hugged his neck, "I'm sorry Carue, I won't leave you again."
Carue simply quacked back happily, before leaning himself back and turned to his side so Vivi could ride him which she accepted, hopping onto his back.
"Lead the way Gohan-San," Vivi told him, "I hope Luffy-san hasn't gotten too far."
Gohan nodded and led the way, the three heading off into the dense jungle as Nami and Usopp were the only ones left on the Merry.
Sighing in defeat, Usopp laid himself on the rail, "Why did they all have to leave...now I'm starting to get the Should've stayed with the strong people disease."
Nami however wasn't as defeated compared to him as she looked to where Gohan and Vivi originally were, "Oh we'll be fine. Besides, Gohan promised he'd make sure nothing would happen to us."
"You really think he'd make it back in time though? What if he encounters something on the island or that guy from before?" Usopp asked Nami.
Nami...thought about it for a moment, but shook her head, "Stop worrying Usopp! Like I said, we'll be fine! If Gohan can take care of himself then I'm sure everything will be alright!"
Usopp looked at Nami and just shrugged his shoulders, knowing he had no other options to go to except go on the island whiiich he wasn't planning on doing.
However he failed to notice the slight worry in Nami's eyes as she still remembered that Gohan was still healing from his previous battle with Turles. Sure he looked like he was healing up just fine, even looking like the bandages weren't needed anymore...but there was still that bit of worry in her mind.
Be careful Gohan...god knows what could be waiting on this Island, Nami thought to herself.
-Meanwhile (Inside Fu's Realm)
Having had his full attention on the timeline he completely changed, Fu watched with a grin on his face as the group finally made it to their next major destination! It was about time too since all that sailing with nothing happening was just so BORING!
Shaking in excitement, Fu was ready to make more changes once more, "It's about time they finally made it to the next major island in this timeline's history! Now to get to changing things once more!"
Looking over the portal, there were a few key things he took note of that were already different from the original timeline!
The first major one was that the Baroque Works members that were here were still that weird guy with a 3 on his head and the little girl, but without the bomb guy to help or the girl who could change her weight who was with Turles now, things would be a lot tougher on their end now!
Another major thing which was something he noticed in the far off area of the island, he noticed a newcomer having shown themselves which she shouldn't be here in the first place as he saw-
"What are you doing Fu?"
Almost immediately, Fu closed his portal and turned to the voice of his mother as she had just gotten back after collecting more energy for Mira who was behind her like usual.
"O-Oh, hey mom! I uh...d-didn't expect you to be back so soon!" Fu told her, slightly stuttering in his words.
Towa however knew that something was up, "Of course I'd be back. It was only a short trip, so it wouldn't be long."
She flew over to her son as she noticed when she arrived that Fu seemed to be focused on something, "But that doesn't matter. What were YOU doing while I was gone? You weren't messing with the timelines were you?"
"N-No...," Fu tried to get himself out of his situation.
Towa didn't buy it and she moved Fu out of the way to see that he was looking at one of the other timelines besides the one they actually went into.
"Fu...you weren't messing with this timeline were you?" Towa asked in a deathly serious tone, "Because I told you not to mess with the timelines!"
Fu swore to himself as he quickly came up with a believable lie to her mother, "N-N-No I didn't! I was just looking at the other timelines out of curiosity! I-I just wanted to get an idea of what to expect when I make changes like you do!"
Towa looked at Fu for a good minute, before sighing and turning to him, "You really want to help out don't you?"
Realizing her tone had calmed down dramatically, Fu nodded as Towa looked back at the timeline then to her son once more.
Sighing again, she motioned for him to come over which Fu did just that as Towa proceeded to explain to him, "I understand how much you want to help Fu, but you must know that making such changes to a timeline not only can change things drastically, but it can also make the energy you collect far lesser than you would normally want."
"R-Really?" Fu asked.
Towa nodded and continued with her explanation, "That's right. Take our timeline as an example. Let's say we made a change in the beginning where instead of Goku being sent to Earth, it was Vegeta who took his place. Considering how strong he was as a child and how strong the foes Goku faced on Earth when he was a child, Vegeta would easily defeat them all and we wouldn't get a good amount of energy compared to what we would actually get."
Fu nodded in understanding, knowing just how strong even a kid Vegeta was and Goku's foes would get wiped out in mere seconds by the Saiyan Prince. And...one he prooobably would've made too.
"You see what I mean? You must think of the consequences that come and the less amount of energy you'd get and instead think of the right solution and getting even more energy than you normally would," Towa explained to him once more.
Taking her words in, Fu nodded with a smile, "I understand mom. If things are that hard to understand, I'll wait until you think I'm ready."
Smiling at her son, Towa rubbed her hand on his forehead, "Good. I'm glad that you understand my son."
Fu nodded, before she kissed him on his forehead, before Towa returned back to Mira who just stood there awaiting his master, "I'll be off again. This one I may be gone for a bit. We'll be heading for the time when Buu appears so we'll be there for a while."
"Got it mom! Best of luck!" Fu waved to her.
Waving back, Towa opened a portal before she and Mira were off to the main timeline once more, leaving Fu alone as he sighed heavily in relief.
"Thank goodness...I was worried she found out about me messing with that timeline," Fu muttered to himself.
Shaking his head though, he returned back to business as he opened the portal once more to look it over in thought, Now then...who should I bring in next? Maybe Cooler? No, he'd be too strong...Garlic Jr.? Nah...too weak.
But then his thoughts went back to Turles and then a grin showed itself as...Turles wasn't the only space pirate out there. There was a certain...green man who was like him that could make the perfect addition!
Fu smirked to himself as he opened up another portal beside him to get him into the mix, Wait...I know just who to bring in.
Just like Whiskey Peak...Little Garden was about to be completely different and mix the timeline up once more~.
-Omake: Turles's Empire Part #3
Having noticed that Turles was seemingly mesmerized by something, Mikita looked over to see the strange fruit in his hand, "What is that? Is that...a Devil Fruit?"
Hearing his slave's voice speak up, the Saiyan turned to her with a grin, "Oh no, this isn't a...Devil Fruit as you mentioned...this here...is what is known as the Fruit from the Tree of Might."
"Tree...of might?" Mikita asked.
Once again being the gentleman he was, Amond came over to her and explained, "The Tree of Might is a special tree that grows that fruit which inside of it contains an unimaginable power unlike any other. One bite of the fruit will give you an immeasurable amount of strength that no regular being can compare to."
Obviously Mikita was skeptical about this information, but judging from the other's expressions except for Cacao, she slowly was led to believe it could be true.
Still grinning like a mad man, Turles looked at the fruit in his hands, before looking at the crate before him that contained said fruit, "I really must thank Fu for giving me such a gift. With this many fruits, we'll be unstoppable!"
His men all nodded in agreement, but Daiz was one to bring up something they all had been meaning to speak with their captain, "Well, now that we have the present's out the way, there's something we've been meaning to discuss captain."
"Oh? And what would it be that you'd need to discuss with me?" Turles asked curiously once more.
And once again, the group led them down another flight of stairs which...Mikita took note that the more they went down, it started to look like a dungeon which...did unnerve her a bit.
Turles could obviously feel such emotions, but kept it to himself as he followed his men down the stairs.
-Bottom Floor (Dungeon)
Once the group arrived at the next floor down, the sight that met them was...one that made Mikita's nerve's grow even more.
Before them was a long hallway with cells left and right that held many prisoners which she noticed were all men and they looked like dangerous people.
Why are there so many prisoners down here? I thought this...Fu person Turles mentioned said this was supposed to be his island, Mikita thought to herself.
But that was when it hit her...an island with an empty village...a ship at the harbor...she realized it.
This island for Turles...it belonged to a group who were possibly pirates...and his men possibly took it over for their captain.
Even Turles seemed to catch on to why they had brought him down here, "Oh...these must've been the people of this island weren't they?"
Amond nodded, "That's correct captain. These people in the cells were ones we took down and locked them all up."
Mikita flinched as she could hear them all yelling out swears, death threats and such at Turles and his men. Even herself as she could hear them calling her his whore.
Turles wasn't fazed by the comments and turned to his crew with a confused look, "Is that so? Then why bring me here?"
That's when Amond proceeded to explain, "You see Captain, thanks to Fu, I learned some things about this new world we're in and...apparently this world is filled with a bunch of pirate groups who loot, steal and claim things like we normally would, so I thought that if we're gonna start anew that these prisoners might be willing to join us."
Daiz however wasn't keen with this plan of his as he could clearly tell they weren't going to comply, "I kept telling this idiot that they weren't gonna comply with our demands, which is why I think we should just kill them all.
Turles did take note of Daiz's words, but he did smirk to Amond, "As always, looking ahead for your captain even when I'm not here."
The commander smirked in delight as he watched his captain turn to the prisoners who might I add were still yelling threats at him.
Turles wondered if there was a way he could convince them all to join him...but then he realized he still held the Fruit from the Tree of Might in his hand...a smirk beginning to grow.
Hm...that gives me an idea, Turles thought to himself.
Mikita watched on with a curious, yet slightly confused look as she noticed his expression, What is he thinking?
She'd be answered soon enough as Turles coughed and proceeded to speak, "Gentleman! If I may have your attention!"
Turles's words surprisingly had the prisoners quiet down as the Saiyan proceeded to explain, "From what my men have told me...I can assume that you all must be one of these...pirate groups that live throughout this world."
"Yeah, so what if we are?!" One of the prisoners yelled out.
Turles continued on, "You see...I am also a pirate as well...and I'm a generous man...so I'm willing you let you all live and be able to get all the delicacies you wish for...whether it be the finest wine...the greatest foods ever...even women to satisfy those lust filled feelings of yours too...if you work under my name."
The response that came...was predictable as they all began to laugh out loud that some nobody was giving them an option like this when they had already had such luxury before?! How ridiculous!
I knew they weren't gonna comply, Daiz thought to himself in annoyance.
However, Turles wasn't deterred as he then held up the Fruit from the Tree of Might, "Come now...if you join me, you'll get one of these powerful fruits of mine right here."
Now THAT got them to shut up as they all gasped, believing the fruit he held was one of the legendary Devil Fruits, Amond taking note of the strange fruit they mentioned.
"Is..that a Devil Fruit?" Another one of the prisoners asked in shock.
Turles shook his head, but his smirk never left, "Oh no...this is what is known as the Fruit from the Tree of Might...a powerful fruit that will grant anyone who takes a bite of it unimaginable power."
Another prisoner spoke up, his tone slightly angered, "You expect us to believe that?! How dumb do you take us for?!"
Everyone was back to yelling threats at him for believing that they'd believe such a lie.
But to prove his point, Turles held the fruit up, before throwing it to one of the prisoners who grabbed it with slight confusion.
"If you don't believe me...take a bite and see for yourself," Turles told the prisoner with his smirk still showing.
Deciding to play his game and to satisfy his hunger, the man took a bite of it and couldn't deny that it tasted really good.
But then...the man suddenly flinched as the fruit fell from his hands and his body began to expand much to the horror of the others and even Mikita.
"W-What's going on?!" Mikita said in confusion.
Turles simply pointed to the man, "Just watch."
Not really having much of a choice, she did as the others prisoners were doing and...their horror filled expressions turned to shock soon after as...the man changed.
His height seemed to slightly grow, but the major thing was the sudden appearance of his muscles having grown dramatically! And without thinking as the man was still in shock, his hands gripped the metal bars and...completely broke them apart!
Now free and out of his cell, the man finally gained control of himself and realized he was out of his cell, now with massive muscles over his body. He was in utter awe over the changes as was everyone else and Mikita as well.
This led Turles to speaking once more, "You see? If you take one bite of the Fruit of the Tree of Might...you'll gain the powers of the fruit and be near unstoppable...and all you need to do...join me...Captain Turles."
NOW the prisoners looked at one another with this decision before them, now actually believing his words to be true now. It was a bit of time for them to think, but the man who gained the powers of the fruit made the decision.
With a newfound feeling before him, the man got down to a knee and bowed before the ma...no...his new captain, "I am to your bidding...Captain Turles."
And slowly and surely, the others followed in his footsteps, the yells of threats turning to yells of cheering for their new captain!
"Captain Turles! Captain Turles!" The prisoners all yelled out in a cheerful manner.
Completely shocked by the sudden turn of events, Daiz looked at his captain as Turles turned to look at him, "I...can't believe it...I knew you were always one for words but...even that caught me off guard."
Turles only smirked, "Of course. As long as you have the right tools...anyone...can do your bidding."
The Saiyan turned to his new members and thrusted a fist into the air, "Today will mark the birth...of the Turles Pirates! And you all will be along my side as we reach glorious heights and make the world ours to conquer!"
The prisoners now turned crew members all roared in agreement as Mikita watched it all go down...and was genuinely surprised.
Not only was her new captain one to protect her, but also had a way with words? She...couldn't help but blush as Turles just continued to impress her more and more.
That quickly left though as the man who was out of his cell stood before his new captain with a grin, "So...what's next captain?"
Turles grinned with delight, "It's simple...we get down to business."
Next Time
