Hey Guys! Here we are with Chapter 5 of A Saiyan's Journey and as usual before we move to the chapter, let's answer some reviews:
MadGod666: First off want to say I'm glad to hear that you have enjoyed the story so far and to answer your questions: 1#: I...haven't decided yet if Ki will work exactly how Haki works but I will look into it and ask a few people about that, 2#: I won't reveal much but Gohan will have to say a few things about himself, 3#: Oh the Marines will see him as a huge threat, especially when we make it to Alabasta then EVERYONE will be wary of how strong and powerful Gohan is, 4#: I already have Gohan's harem planned and Hancock is not a part of it, I just love Luffy x Hancock far more and for Gohan's arsenal of attacks, I have selected a few techniques that he'll learn, some including the one's you mentioned.
Eugene #1: Don't worry, Gohan will use a select amount of Ki based attacks and he won't train Luffy, Zoro and Sanji because I'm sure they'll say they would want to get stronger on their own, HOWEVER Gohan will be training people but I won't reveal it yet and don't worry, Gohan doesn't plan on getting real serious against One Piece villains, but only on certain occasions will he get "serious".
Eugene #2: He definitely will not go Super Saiyan against any One Piece villain, but like I said on only certain occasions.
Guest #1: Glad to hear it!
Guest #2: Yep, Gohan and Robin will have their first encounter and well...it'll be interesting.
Drago - X6627: Got it.
Ninjafang1331: Happy to hear you enjoyed the chapter!
Batthan the Dark Knight: The others reaction to Super Saiyan will be a good one indeed but it won't be showing for some time.
Narutocrazy101: Got it.
Gamelover41592: Glad you enjoyed the chapter.
Also I'll say it again which involves the movies and if Gohan experienced them and the answer is No except for Cooler's Revenge as you can argue that it is the only one that could be considered into the main timeline as it takes place when Mecha Frieza is defeated by Trunks or in this case in the future timeline Goku as Trunks wasn't even an adult by that time.
Well that should be all the reviews so without further ado, here's Chapter 5 of A Saiyan's Journey!
A Saiyan's Journey
Chapter 5
-Present…
Everyone could only stare in shock as the giant wall of flame was all they could see from where Igaram and Mr. 9 originally had gone as distraction. They hadn't even gone far enough from the island till it was out of view, it was unbelievable that they were taken out just like that!
The same thing was said for Nami as she watched in disbelief, "T-That's impossible, they just barely set sail, there's no way they should've been taken out that fast!"
Usopp thought the exact same thing, "N-N-No kidding! It should be impossible for someone to do that something like that in one instant!"
Vivi could only stare in horror, shocked by the fact that her best friend Igaram was taken out just like that! For a moment, the thought of jumping over the rail to save her friend flooded her mind, but Gohan's hand on her shoulder promptly made forget of such a thing.
With a look of grief and worry, Gohan told her exactly what she knew they had to do, "Vivi, I know what you want to do, but you already know what the right thing you have to do."
Vivi wanted to argue but knew that he was right, Igaram and Mr. 9 had sacrificed themselves so she could make it back to her home. She couldn't waste this chance they gave her.
Thus she turned around, tears forming and gritting her teeth, daring to not look back at the wall of fire.
Meanwhile, Nami was already in the process of barking orders to everyone, "Quick you guys, let's get out of here!"
Everyone was already on the move to get their ship away from the threat that took out Igaram and Mr. 9, along with getting away from the island as well. Vivi did her best to try and help out, mainly to try and get her mind off of her friend's sacrifice.
Gohan would've helped, but Vivi's words echoed through his mind reminding him that he was to not do anything until his injuries had fully healed. So because of that, he stood where he was and tried to do his best to console Vivi over the loss of her friend.
During this, Nami was quickly barking orders left and right to everyone as their ship got farther away from not only the island, but hopefully escape the agent that was after them.
-An Hour Later...
After an hour had passed, relief showed on Nami's face as the young Navigator looked back, no longer able to see the wall of flames, Looks like we're in the clear now...I just hopes it stays like this.
Nami's attention went back to the others and quickly informed them what was happening now, "Alright everyone, we should be in the clear now, Sanji, can you take over for piloting the ship?"
Normally the cook would've been ecstatic and be spinning with hearts in his eyes that his Nami-san trusted him to pilot the ship, but seeing the situation they were in right now didn't and simply nodded, taking over for Usopp. As things calmed down, everyone had gone to do their own thing now that they were in the clear now.
Zoro had gone into the kitchen to grab a bottle of Sake to drink, Usopp took a seat at a table and began to tinker with some of his stuff and Luffy who was unusually quiet went to his favorite spot without muttering a word.
Nami was about to take her time to look over the maps she had before her attention settled on Vivi who had her hands on the rail, drops of tears coming down with her hair covering her face. Carue stood beside her with his head on the rail, a saddened look showing on his face as the duck looked to his friend.
A saddened look also showed on Nami's features as she assumed this must've been the first time that Vivi had seen a good friend of hers die just like that.
Thus she walked over to her and settled her hand on her shoulder, Vivi turning head only a tiny bit towards her as Nami spoke, "Listen, you don't have to explain everything right now, you can tell us all when you feel you're ready to talk."
Vivi looked back down and could only nod, quietly mourning for her friend in peace as Nami let her be and went to look over her maps. Gohan stood where he was as he stared at Vivi, feeling the same as her because of the loss of her friend.
While the young Demi-Saiyan wasn't too saddened by the loss, mainly being from a world where loss was a common thing, losing a close friend was something you could never get used to. Which lead Gohan to also settle his hand on her shoulder, this time however she didn't move her head towards the hand on her shoulder.
"Vivi, I promise you that we'll avenge Igaram and take down Baroque Works for everything they had done," Gohan informed her with a determined look.
Vivi did nothing which told Gohan that she wanted to be left alone for right now or at least that was how he took it. Right before he could walk off to look out to the sea, Vivi quickly ran up and enveloped him in a hug much to the surprise of the Demi-Saiyan.
Vivi sobbed as her head was buried in his shirt and could only mutter one thing, "Thank you."
Gohan's eyes widened in surprise, confused by what she meant, "Thank you? What do you mean?"
The princess continued to sob, explaining why she said so, "For everything...if you had never showed up when we had found you out in the sea...I don't think we would all be where we are now with what happened on the island."
She looked up into his eyes, tears trailing down the side of her eyes, "You've already done so much for me...and now...you and everyone else are the only ones I can count on now to stop Baroque Works...so...thank you...thank you for having done so much for me already."
Gohan simply stared back, before his determined look returned and he simply told her what he said before, "You don't have to thank me, I always do what's right and I can promise you Vivi, we'll take down Baroque Works together and save your home."
Vivi smiled for a moment before it disappeared and she let go, heading back to the rail to look down at the sea. Her saddened attitude wasn't as bad as it was before, but the loss of Igaram still showed effect on her.
Gohan stared where she was before he headed towards the back of the ship to stare out towards the direction of the island and the wall of flame. As he walked, Gohan failed to notice not only Nami staring towards where he went, but Zoro as well who had just came out of the kitchen with his bottle of Sake in hand.
Meanwhile, Gohan stood at the back of the ship, hands on the rail as his thoughts went back to what had occured on the island, I don't understand what had happened...the energy of the agent that this Baroque Works sent was low and compared to Igaram and that guy with the bats, the two should've been even with that agent.
He looked down to the sea, his thoughts still on the agent, If this agent was able to take down those two when their energies were about the same, then he or she must have some kind of special power like the man and woman back on the island.
But then his thoughts went back to that Saiyan who had the same hair as his father, his face flashing for a moment in his eyes, never forgetting the evil smirk he had, And who was that Saiyan that I fought? I had never seen him before back in my world and he had the same hairstyle as my father.
Gohan knew that wouldn't be the last time he'd see him again. Turles...the young Demi-Saiyan made sure he would never forget about him and would make sure that he would be taken care of the next time they met.
But then for one brief second, Gohan felt two faint energies far back from where the Island originally was and his eyes widened for a moment. The energies felt like...Igaram and the guy who used the bats!
Gohan closed his eyes and focused heavily out in the direction of where he felt them and sure enough, the two were indeed still alive! Their energy was low which meant they were injured, but they were still alive.
Feeling the two were still alive, Gohan had quickly run back to where Vivi was, the quick stomping of his foots getting the princess's attention. She still had a few tears showing in her eyes, but Vivi looked towards Gohan with her face showing worry and confusion.
"G-Gohan-kun? Is something wrong?" Vivi asked Gohan.
Gohan tried to explain, but was cut short as a fog began to slowly form around them, cutting their vision short because of it.
Meanwhile Nami noticed the fog and quickly informed everyone what to do, "Everyone, keep a eye out for anything in this fog, we don't have a clue as to what could be in here."
"She's right, they're could be giant beasts hiding in these waters and could attack at any moment," A female voice spoke.
Nami nodded, "See, like she said!"
The female voice spoke again, "And watch out for the shallow water, wouldn't want to risk tearing the bottom of the ship to rocks."
Nami waved her hand, "Don't worry I got it."
But then she realized the voice she was talking to was one she wasn't familiar with, a small glance towards Vivi to wonder if that was her, "Uh...was that you by any chance Vivi?"
Vivi's face showed shock however as she recognized the voice, N-No...it can't be…, Gohan who stood beside her was also shocked because he was too focused with Vivi while noticing the energies still intact back at the island, he didn't notice the energy of the person who was just sitting right there on the rail.
But now that the person's presence was known to everyone, everyone looked including Luffy who had come back after spending enough time to notice the person sitting right there on the rail.
As the fog cleared up enough to where they could see clearly, the person turned out to be an older woman in about her late twenties to thirties who had a tall, slender body with shoulder length black hair, dark wide pupils, a long, thing defined nose and her skin color was was a darker tan compared to everyone else, while her attire consisted of a a purple corset that revealed her cleavage along with a matching miniskirt and white ornaments hanging on both, purple high heeled boots and it all finished with a white cowboy hat.
Everyone looked on in surprise, none of them expecting for someone to have been sitting there the entire time with being noticed. Meanwhile, Gohan was ashamed by the fact that he failed to notice the woman arrive which he knew if Piccolo or Vegeta were here probably would have scolded him for failing to do so.
Gohan's demeanor turned serious as he recognized the energy of the woman to be the same as the one who was coming to the island and who took Igaram and the guy that used bats. Vivi noticed the demeanor he took now and knew that Gohan had found out about something.
No one had spoken a word, everyone staring at the woman who stared back in return with a smile on her face, resting her head on her hand.
Unfortunately, that silence was broken as Sanji who the moment he saw her, hearts formed in his eyes, "AAAAHHH! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LADY IS ON OUR SHIP!"
The others just ignored him, Vivi quickly getting everyone's attention as her once saddened state was now mixed with anger, serious and fear, "W-What are you doing here!?"
Gohan continued to stare at the woman, but asked Vivi exactly who she was, "Vivi, who is that woman?"
Vivi answered him, her eyes also never leaving the woman, "She is Miss All Sunday...Mr.0's partner."
Everyone stared wide eyed in shock, especially Usopp who was trembling in fear, "M-M-Mr 0's p-p-partner!?"
Gohan's expression never changed, one of his assumptions proven true, So she's Mr. 0's partner, so that must mean she probably has some kind of power that allowed her to take them down with no trouble if that's the case.
Vivi continued on, also answering Usopp as well, "Yes, it was thanks to her that me along with Igaram were able to follow her and find out about Mr. 0's true identity and what his plan is for my home."
Miss All Sunday just laughed, before she spoke, "Correction, I let you follow me."
At the news, her eyes widened in surprise, "Y-You knew!?"
Her smile grew bigger, "Why of course, it was only fitting since you worked so hard to get where you are now, but your resolve in doing so is well...rather stupid."
Her comment enraged the princess, Vivi's rage began to boil, "Shut up! What do you know to call my resolve stupid, I've done what I have so far in order to get closer to save my home!"
Miss All Sunday crossed her legs together, ignoring what she said and continued to speak, "By the way, on the way here I happened to have bumped into Mr. 9 and Igarappoi before coming aboard."
Vivi's eyes went blank as she processed the information that she was just told, "What...did you just say?"
Miss All Sunday continued to smile at how she was reacting, "You heard me didn't you, I gave your two friends a visit before coming here."
That was all that needed to be said as something snapped inside of Vivi, her face showing an unimaginable rage that was never seen, quickly drawing out her Peacock Slashers and without any thoughts, charged with the intent to avenge Igaram and Mr. 9.
The others could only watch, Nami and Usopp the only ones who made sounds, gasping in shock as the only noise that was heard was the defiant yell of the princess charing towards Mr. 0's partner.
Vivi was just inches to reach the range for her Peacock slashers to attack her before a pair arms wrapped around her own and held her back. The Princess looked back to find Gohan standing behind her, holding her back from doing what she was intent on doing.
To her clear anger, Vivi was enraged that the Demi-Saiyan did such a thing, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? LET ME GO!"
Gohan's face never changed, still having that same serious look in his eyes which stared back into the Princess's angered look, "Vivi, you know this isn't the right thing you're doing, if you were to try and fight her as you are, you'll be defeated."
Vivi was at the point that she didn't want to listen and was struggling to get out of his hold, but Gohan kept his hold while Miss All Sunday watched in amusement.
The Young Demi-Saiyan kept his hold and continued to speak, "Besides, what she's telling you is a lie, Igaram and Mr. 9 are still alive."
Vivi's struggle immediately stopped and she looked back towards Gohan in shock, Miss All Sunday included, not expecting for the Young Demi-Saiyan to catch her lie.
The Princess's voice which had been rage and fury, now was that of shock and surprise, "T-They are!? How do you know that!?"
Gohan quickly explained, "I can sense their energy back near the island and while I can tell that they're injured, they're still alive."
Miss All Sunday for the first time that she recalled for a while was surprised, this man who showed not only being calm in situations such as this, but to even catch on a lie in one split second was rare on her part. Another thing to note about this man was his presence, something about it made the agent's curiosity grow quite a bit, even more than she has for the Straw Hatted boy
As this occured, Zoro, Nami and Usopp took this opportunity to surround the agent by all sides with the swordsman running up the stairs, quickly drawing out one of his swords, Nami ran up the stairs on the other side and aimed a pistol at her and Usopp pulled out his slingshot, albeit his legs shaking in fear while doing so.
Only Luffy and Sanji stood where they were with the cook watching mainly because of his honor of never trying to hurt even if she was an enemy and their captain just stared, not feeling any kind of intent from the woman to harm his friends.
He couldn't explain it, but something about her told him that but Luffy didn't know exactly why it did.
Meanwhile, Miss All Sunday had caught on to what the others were doing and closed her eyes to what they were doing, crossing her arms into an X, "You know...it is very rude to point such things at me."
Suddenly, the weapons that Zoro, Nami and Usopp held were swatted out of their hands much to their shock, unable to see exactly what it was. Gohan with his trained eye thanks to all the training he had done with Piccolo and Vegeta, was able to see for a split second what looked like hands coming from behind everyone and smacked their weapons out of their hands before disappearing into flower petals.
The Young Demi-Saiyan now had a clear idea as to how Miss All Sunday was able to have taken out Igaram and Mr. 9, So that was how she took them out, she must be able to somehow create arms from any surface and used them to her advantage, it's no wonder then since she's Mr. 0's partner.
But then a startled yelp came was heard from Luffy as his hat was suddenly taken from him and soon found itself on top of the agent's head, her attitude back to normal.
She quickly got to the point of exactly why she was here as well, "As much as an interesting crew that you all are, the destination that you all are heading for is a rather dangerous one."
With how bad he was shaking at the presence of Miss All Sunday, Usopp's fear grew even more, "D-D-Dangerous!?"
The agent' smile returned, "Indeed, it's known as Little Garden, a mysterious island that no one knows about except that whatever sails into the island...never return."
At the mention of never returning, not did Usopp pale slightly at the information, but Nami as well, not wanting her journey to end as they just barely began sailing the Grand Line.
To their surprise however, Miss All Sunday threw something towards Vivi who caught it and stared at it before the agent explained, "That there is an Eternal Pose which will allow you to avoid such an island and help you get closer."
The Princess was surprised at first, but it quickly disappeared before turning towards her, a serious look in her eyes, "Why are you helping us?"
Miss All Sunday simply answered, "Think of it as a gift for how interesting your friends are, especially you, Monkey D. Luffy, but then again, I could be leading you into a trap, so the choice is yours if you wish to use it."
For a moment, Vivi contemplated on whether or not she should take this opportunity to get back home, trap or not. But then a hand reached out and grabbed it to which the Princess turned around and was shocked to see Luffy now holding the Eternal Pose in his hand.
The captain had a blank stare, but his eyes trailed up to Miss All Sunday as he spoke, "We don't need something like this from you to get where we need to be."
Thus he was about crush the Eternal Pose in his hand, but then Gohan stepped in and grabbed his hand that held the pose much to his surprise before he explained why he did such a thing, "Luffy, even if you don't want to do what she probably wants us to do, this may possibly be our ONLY shortcut for us to get back to Vivi's home and warn her home of Mr. 0's plan, we can't risk losing something like this."
Watching things unfold, Miss All Sunday's curiosity for the Saiyan had grown even more now, first his presence, now it was how smart this man was which was something she only expected from the Navigator.
Speaking of said Navigator, she had walked up beside him after seeing Vivi catch the Eternal Pose, "Gohan's right, if what she's saying about this island coming is true, then we can use this to avoid the island without having to even follow the Log Pose."
For a moment, Luffy stared down at the Eternal Pose, before coming to a decision, "Alright, I won't destroy it, but I will decide on whether or not we'll use it!"
Inwardly, Nami sighed in relief as for once her captain had made the smart decision, while Gohan looked towards Miss All Sunday who had turned around and now stood on the floor, her attention never leaving the crew, "Now then, as much as I would love to continue our conversation, I'm afraid I no longer have any time to talk."
Thus she walked over to the side of the ship, before Miss All Sunday jumped onto the rail and at the same time, what looked like the head of a giant turtle could be seen.
Luffy and Usopp being the ones to be shocked rather easily, gaped in shock at the sight, "WHOA, IT'S A HUGE TURTLE!"
The agent smiled as she stepped onto it's head, before it let her on its back which just so happened to have a chair and an umbrella on it, "Come now Banchi, let's head back to base."
The turtle named Banchi, simply nodded as it slowly swam away from their ship, everyone just watching before she disappeared into the fog out of their view.
Once she was gone, Usopp was finally able to take a huge breather from being so scared of what Miss All Sunday would've done, "M-Man...S-She was rather scary with h-how calm she was."
Sanji, no longer having to act serious had hearts in his eyes as he clasped his hands togethers, hearts in his eyes as the images of the agent's breasts, thighs and face were all that he cared for, "Ah...such a beautiful woman with such beautiful features…"
Zoro as usual got irritated by the perverted cook, muttering his disdain having to be with him, "Damn ero-cook."
Meanwhile, Nami who had taken the Eternal Pose from Luffy stared at it as Vivi stood in front of her, her attention also on it as well.
The navigator looked up towards, seeming to think the same thing that came to her which was evident in Vivi's eyes, "I still wonder why she was willing to give us something like this?"
Vivi answered, not sure exactly why she did either, "I don't know, but I do know that this could be the only shortcut we have now thanks to Gohan for stopping Luffy from destroying it."
At the reminder of what Luffy had planned on doing, it didn't take long for Nami to get furious and started yelling at her captain, "YOU IDIOT! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING FOR TRYING TO DESTROY SOMETHING TO HELP US AVOID A DANGEROUS ISLAND!?"
Luffy being Luffy, simply answered what he always said, "Because it's no fun if we take shortcuts, I bet this Little Garden is full of adventure."
The Navigator was just inches from punching Luffy right in the head, but then Gohan interrupted them, "Well, now that things have finally calmed down for the time being, I think it's about time that Vivi had gotten all of you guys caught up with what's going on."
That got everyone's attention, mainly Usopp, Sanji, Nami and Luffy who were absent when Vivi had explained to Gohan and Zoro what was happening, with the Young Demi-Saiyan looking towards her as well, "Are you alright now to explain your situation?"
Vivi who was no longer in the state she was in before, nodded with a serious look once more, "Yes, it's time for me to explain to you all exactly what's going on and why I'm doing all of this."
To Be Continued...
-Omake: Turles's Empire Part #1
The moment that the two entered the portal, both Turles and Miss Wednesday were shocked to find that no longer were they standing in the small town of the island, but were now floating in the sky above the island that Fu had promised the Saiyan.
Turles was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face at all, while the former agent yelled in shock as she saw how they were in the air and thanks to her new master holding her arm, she regained herself and used her Kilo-Kilo Fruit powers to float beside him.
A smirk showed on the Saiyan's features at the sight of the island, Heh, Fu wasn't kidding when he promised my own island in this new world, a rather good sized one as well.
But then Miss Wednesday's voice interrupted his train of thought, "Well, I have to admit that your island is far better than where my old group's base is."
Turles chuckled at her comment, "Well then, if you like my island better, then let's go take a better look shall we."
Without even telling her, the Saiyan had flown to the island while pulling at the woman's arm, indicating her to come along much to her annoyance. It was something she had a feeling would probably happen often now that she was his slave.
It didn't take long before Turles had landed himself in the middle of the castle, he along with his slave looked around the large courtyard from what the Saiyan assumed.
Turles looked around, his face showing his dissatisfaction, expecting for someone to come, Strange, I was expecting for a guard or at least someone to come up to us.
Something however seemed to have answered him as two large doors which were at one far end that acted as the entrance, opened to reveal five people walking through it.
The light caused both Turles and Miss Wednesday to cover their eyes from the sunlight, but the Saiyan's features showed shocked as one of the people spoke to which the voice was one he hadn't heard in quite some time, "At last, our leader has arrived."
Both Turles and Miss Wednesday visions had adjusted and the moment the Saiyan had laid eyes on the five people that arrived, he had possibly the most biggest smirk show since he had entered this new world, "Well, well...looks like the gang's all here."
