Chapter 210: Sea Train
It had been a week since the fight with Aokiji. The crew strayed on Long Ring Island for four days to give a chance for the two recover.
Of course the biggest topic of the time was the revelation of the relation of Luffy and Naruto.
"Why didn't you want to talk about it?" asked Sakura.
"Because it's just something not brought up in normal conversation." Said Naruto.
"Well I guess that's a good point." Said Sakura.
"So what about your fathers?" asked Ino.
"I don't know much about him…" said Naruto, "But the bastard and the mayor often told me he was a hero and helped saved the town in the Kyubi attack."
"I have a dad?" asked Luffy.
Everyone but Naruto and Hinata sweat dropped.
"We never learned anything about Luffy's dad, the bastard never told anything about him." Said Naruto.
"The bastard?" asked Sakura.
"Luffy's grandfather…" whispered Hinata, "But he reacts badly if we refer to him by that…"
"I see." Whispered Sakura.
"But still I never thought you were actually related." Said Chopper.
"Is it because of our hair colors and eye colors?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah…" said Chopper.
"Wait…" said Luffy, "Did some of you have a bet about it?"
Ino, Sasuke and Kiba all sweat dropped.
"Hey! There's something I need to show you guys!" said Luffy.
He ran into the galley causing everyone to sweat drop.
"He got bored, didn't he?" asked Isaribi.
"Looks like it." Said Ino.
"Hey! Ino! Can you please help me?" asked Sanji popping his head of the galley.
"Okay." Said Ino.
Robin for the first time in a few days, got outside of the girls' room.
"Oh Robin, you look so much better." Said Chopper.
"Thanks to you and Sakura." Said Robin with a gentle smile.
Naruto looked at her.
"Hey… kit, remember what I told you to do." Said Kyubi.
"I know." Thought Naruto.
"Remember Robin, just go at your own pace, you don't have to be like Luffy." Said Nami.
At that moment Luffy was doing an impression that he was frozen, prompting Nami to walk over to him and punch him in the face.
"Is there anything you would like to warm you up?" asked Sanji.
"Coffee would be nice." Said Robin.
Sanji went to go make her coffee.
At the same time, Naruto walked over to her.
"Hey, there's something I want to ask you." said Naruto.
"What?" responded Robin.
"I want to know, what was the fourth Hokage like?" asked Naruto.
Robin stared at him.
"Does he know?" she thought.
"Kyubi thought it would be a good idea if you told me for some reason." Said Naruto.
"I see." Said Robin.
"So what was he like?" asked Naruto.
"We only traveled for a short time, but he was a kind man." Said Robin, "He was the only one I ever met who didn't care about my bounty."
"Really? Wow." said Naruto.
"Yes…" said Robin.
But before she could say more Luffy called out.
"Naruto! We need help rowing the ship!"
"Okay!" said Naruto.
"We'll talk another time okay." Said Naruto.
Robin nodded. And she watched him join the others in rowing the boat.
Apparently they were following a giant frog, why? Well Luffy wanted meat, of course. They chaise to a strange place where there was a lighthouse.
"What is this place?" asked Isaribi.
"I have no idea." Said Sasuke.
That was when they heard a strange noise and a very strange boat came barreling their way, they managed to escape in time but it sent the frog flying to who knows where.
"What the hell was that." Muttered Sakura.
"Hey it's pirates!" called out a voice.
They turned to see a little blonde girl with her hair done up in braids.
"There's someone in there." Said Zoro.
"You think it might be back up?" asked Usopp.
The person she was talking to was an older drunk woman causing everyone to sweat drop.
Some of the crew members got off the ship to talk with them and give them some snacks they had.
"I'm Chimney this is my cat Gonbe." Said the little girl named Chimney motioning over to her "cat" (really it was a rabbit having a really weird identity crisis), "And granny Kokoro."
"You're not train robbers are ya?" asked Kokoro laughing at her own joke.
"Man I hope you never see Kokoro naked from the bottom down." Said Kyubi, "You will be mentally scarred for life…"
"What the hell?" asked Naruto.
"You'll understand if you ever see it." Said Kyubi.
"So that was a boat?" asked Isaribi.
"Yep! You can look all over the world and you will never see one like it." Said Chimney, "It's call the Puffing Tom or the Sea Train."
"Oh wow." Said Naruto.
Chimney began to explain that it uses tracks underwater as a guide and visits various island, ships are also not allowed in the area because of how dangerous is it.
"We could have end up like that Frog." Said Luffy.
"Oh you mean Yokozuna." Said Chimney, "He comes here every now and then to test his strength again the sea train."
"Oh wow that's cool!" said Naruto.
"No it's not. He scare the passengers and sometime break the track guard." Said Chimney, "But that wasn't enough to knock him down, he'll come back."
"Oh wow!" said Luffy, "That is really cool, that I don't' want to eat him anymore!"
"You changed his mind." Said Nami with a sweat drop.
"Just don't bother questioning it." Sighed Isaribi.
"So where are you headed? "asked Kokoro.
Koror began to list off the destinations which included the gourmet island, but Nami insisted they got to the next place the Log Pose was pointing to.
"Oh you mean Water Seven?" asked Kokoro.
"Water Seven?" asked Usopp.
"Yes it's called the city of water it's a bustling city known for its ship building industry." Said Kokoro.
"That's… a weird coincidence." Mumbled Isaribi.
"I know, right." Said Nami.
"Ships that are built are even commission by the world government are there." Said Kokoro.
"Oh wow! That must mean we can find a good shipwright there!" said Luffy.
"Not just good, but the best shipwrights from all over the world are there." Said Kokoro.
"All right!" cheered Luffy, "Let's go to Water Seven and get us a Ship Wright!"
"Yeah!" cheered Naruto and Usopp.
Little did they know that going to Water Seven many things would go wrong for them… and a few things that would go right…
Next Time: The crew heads towards Water Seven a very interested city that uses boats to get around, but first thing is first, exchanging the tissue from Skypiea what will happen? Find out next time!
