Here it is... Chapter 10
The Legend of the Moon Goddess
People screamed as confetti filled the air signifying the end of the parade, the citizens of the city cheered as giant cranes flew around carrying banners informing the city's inhabitants that the festival of the Moon Goddess has finally come.
"The Moon festival will be tonight, I wonder who will be our Queen." A man said as the cranes started to fly around Anastasis. The city will now celebrate a festival held every ten years where the future Queen of the Isle of D'tiole is crowned. Maidens from different social circles cheered as soldiers of the royal Army of Anastasis roamed around picking the candidates.
The Strawhat pirates were all in awe with the amount of people, as the number of citizens, walking the streets doubled. Shop owners littered the streets taking this once in a lifetime opportunity to sell their merchandise to residents and travelers who are mobbing the shops buying souvenirs made from the Isle.
Luffy was ecstatic as he saw countless shops filled with delicious looking food. "FOOOD!" The young captain yelled as he ran across the streets while Nami just slapped her forehead seeing the raven-haired man.
"LUFFY!" Come back here you idiot!" The young navigator ordered as she started to follow the young captain running. "Oh boy!" Usopp said briefly as Chopper and Franky looked at Luffy and Nami.
"This won't end well." Usopp added as Sanji walked towards the three men. "What's happening?" The young cook said as Usopp, Chopper and Franky looked at the blonde-haired man and pointed at Nami who was chasing after Luffy.
The young cook just looked at the two as a scene played on his head that made the cook twitch. "Oi! Why is Nami-chan running after Luffy, she should be chasing me not him!" He said as the three men looked at the blonde-haired man with a confused expression. "Huh?" Usopp asked, as he did not understand the statement of the young cook.
"Huh? Nami will chase you?" Chopper asked trying his best to understand the young cook, but the blonde-haired man did not reply as he stared at the young navigator as she ran after Luffy.
"NAMI-CHAN!" Sanji yelled suddenly as he ran after the young Navigator that surprised Usopp, Chopper and Franky.
"What was that about?" Usopp asked as he looked at Chopper and Franky who was also dumbfounded at the scene that just happened. "That was SUPER weird." The cyborg added as Chopper looked at them and nodded, as he didn't understand what is happening with Sanji.
"What's with that expression?" Ace asked as he saw the dumbfounded expression of the three men, Usopp, Franky and Chopper looked at the raven-haired man as they pointed at the blonde-haired cook running after Nami.
Viola who was following Ace just looked on the direction where the three men pointed, and remained silent. Her face suddenly changed as her smile slowly turned into a frown that shocked the raven-haired man.
Ace looked at the raven-haired beauty with a rather worried expression as Usopp, Franky and Chopper smiled nervously at Viola.
"You know Vio…" Ace said but before he could finish his statement, the beauty just walked pass them heading straight to the hotel.
"He..he..he.." Usopp smiled as a sweat drop formed on his head, "Pffft… Sanji will be in SUPER big trouble later!" Franky added as Ace sighed, "I'll go look for them, might as well you guys explore the city and we will meet back here at six." The raven-haired man said as he continued to walk towards the direction Luffy, Nami and Sanji went to.
Chopper became rather excited hearing the words of Ace as he looked at his companions, "I will go check the medicines here then." The young reindeer said as Usopp and Franky grinned at the young reindeer.
"I'll go check what types of plants are found here." The young sniper said as he held his chin thinking of new ammunition as Chopper looked at him with sparkles on his eyes. "I'll check their Junkyard if they have one." The cyborg said as Brook and Law saw the three men and walked towards them.
"Yohohohohohohoho. What are you guys doing there?" Brook said noticing their excited faces, "Where is strawhat-yah?" Law briefly added as the three men looked at them. "We will look around the city." Usopp said as he prepared himself while Chopper looked at Law.
"Luffy went ahead and roamed the streets for food." The young reindeer said as Law looked at the direction Chopper was pointing. Without saying anything, the surgeon started to walk heading on the same direction.
"Uhhhh." The young reindeer said as he watched Law walking away from them, "Never mind him Chopper, maybe he just wants to explore the city." Usopp said with a smile on his face as the young doctor looked at him, "I Guess. Maybe he is just as excited as we are." Chopper said smiling at the young sniper.
Franky just ignored what Law did and looked at his Nakama's with a huge grin on his face. "Let's go, we still have a few hours to check the city out!" The cyborg said as everyone nodded.
"Yohohohohohohohohoho, I want to see if there are women who would let me see their panties, not that I have eyes to see it. Yohohohohohoho." Brook said as three men smiled questioningly at the tall skeleton.
"We'll see you later then!" Usopp yelled, while Chopper and Brook went on the other side of the road and Franky nodded as he walked going to the other side of the street.
As Franky walked down the streets, he saw people who were rather excited of the festival, What is with them? They all look happy. The cyborg thought as he continued to look around the city and realized something important that caused him to stop on his tracks.
"Damn! I don't know where the junkyard is." The cyborg said as he started to scratch his head. "Ohh Boy!" Franky said as he looked around trying to find a sign pointing where the junkyard is located.
While looking around, the cyborg saw a small blonde-haired kid wearing a black suit and blue cape starring at him earnestly. "Wow! What a huge toy robot!" The little boy said as the cyborg looked at him dumbfounded by his statement.
"HUH? Who's the toy?" Franky asked as he leaned down and looked closely at the little boy, "WOW! The toy robot talked!" The kid said with sparkles on his eyes as he started to smile at the cyborg. "Who is your owner Mr. Robot? Can you be my toy?" The kid said as Franky looked at him with a confused expression on his face.
"EH? Oi, who are you calling a toy robot? I'm not a toy little boy!" Franky said as he looked at the boy who puffed his cheeks. "I'm not little already! I am nine years old and I have a very manly name!" The boy protested as the cyborg looked at him confused.
"Eh? You're nine?" Franky asked looking at the small kid, "You look like a four year old kid. You look so small for a nine year old. You sure you're nine?" He added as the kid looked at him with a frown as tears formed on his eyes that shocked the cyborg. "Oi.. Oi…" He nervously said as the kid looked at him about to cry.
"I am Niiiiine! My biiig brother told me I'm gettiiiing taller that's why I am eating those yucky vegiiitables!" The little boy said as he looked at the cyborg. "Sniff… I may not look at iiiiit, but I am strong!" He added as the tears finally fell from his eyes that shocked the shipwright.
The cyborg then started to look around and saw the people surrounding started whispering to each other that made Franky scratch his head. "Oi.. Oi! If you are nine and strong like you say you are, you shouldn't be crying!" Franky said as the little boy looked at him with a confused face.
"Really Mister Toy?" The blonde boy said as the cyborg scratched his head again. "Yeah, and don't call me Mister Toy I have a name!" He added as he looked at the small kid.
"Sniff… Sniff..." The little boy tried his best not to cry as he looked at the cyborg. "What's your name mister to.. I mean mister?" The kid added as Franky looked at him with a grin on his face. "My name is SUPER Franky!" The cyborg yelled as he pulled of his signature pose, which made the little kid smile.
"WOW!" The small kid said with sparkles on his eyes as Franky grinned at the little boy, "So what's your name lit… er... Boy?" The cyborg said as the kid smiled at him. "I have a manly name Mr. Funky." The little boy said, and when he was about to introduce his name Franky felt an ominous presence on his back.
The shipwright immediately turned his head and saw a handsome blonde-haired man wearing a black military uniform and a black coat acting as a cape looking at the two of them. "Oi Bunny, who said you, could leave my sight?" The blonde-haired man said as he looked at the little boy.
"I told you to stay with me since there are a lot of people in the city now, you might get lost since we rarely go down." The man added as the little boy kept quiet trying to hold back his tears. The blonde-haired man then looked at Franky with an irritated expression on his face.
"And who is this clown supposed to be?" The man said as he stared at the cyborg, "wha? Clown?" The shipwright said as the blonde-haired man walked passing him by.
"I told you not to talk to strangers! With a cute kid like you, they might take you away from here!" The blonde-haired man said with an irritated tone, "Bu.. But… no one will take me. I can defend myself you know!" The boy said that irritated more the blonde-haired man.
"You don't know that!" The man added grabbing the little boy's hand forcibly pulling him towards him. "Awwwww… That hurts Gale!" The boy protested as tears suddenly fell from his eyes that angered Franky.
"Hey! You're hurting the boy!" The cyborg said as he held the arm of the man, "Don't touch me!" The blonde-haired man said as he pushed away the hand of the cyborg. "This does not concern you!" He added with an irritated face.
Franky immediately stopped, as he felt a strong presence from the man that made him dizzy which caused him to step back from the two. "We are here to look for Angel and we need to get back before King finds out were gone! We don't have time to be goofing around with strange looking people!" The blonde-haired man said as the little boy looked at him with tears on his eyes.
"Bu… But I don't know where I placed wabbit that's why I am looking for him." The little boy said as the blonde-haired man looked at the kid, "You left your stuff toy in the palace! You better come with me now or I'll tell King about your attitude!" The man said with an annoyed expression on his face that surprised the young boy.
"I.. I'm sorry Gale, I will be good… I promise, so please don't tell him that. He will punish me if he finds out." The little boy said as he started to wipe the tears off his eyes and looked at the cyborg who was still trying to compose his self. "Sorry Mr. Funky for the trouble." The little boy said as he walked with the blonde-haired man.
"Ohhhh. By the way, my name is Sorcerer BUNNY! I Hope to see you again Mr. Funky!" The blonde-haired boy said smiling as the blonde-haired man carried him in his shoulders. "ONWARDS Big brother! Let's go find Angel!" The boy said as he pointed in front.
Franky on the other hand just watched the two leave as he slowly recovered from what happened. "What was that? That man scarred the crap out of me." The cyborg said as he scratched his head as he noticed that people are looking at him, ehhh. Why are they looking at me? Franky thought as he started to walk away.
Might as well go and check the junkyard. He thought to himself as the cyborg realized something very important. "Uhhhh.. Where is the Junkyard?" Franky asked as a man who heard him pointed on his left, "Thanks old man!" the cyborg said as he just nodded and waved his hand as he walked on the direction of the junkyard.
On the other side of the city, the pirate-hunter was walking aimlessly on the streets trying to find his Nakama's.
Shit! Where did they all go? Zoro thought to himself as he saw countless men and women buying merchandise from the merchants.
I need to tell Luffy about what I heard earlier. The swordsman grumbled as he walked passing the men who were still buying flowers. "Tsss. They are still at it with those flowers." The green-haired man said as he looked around and saw a little girl sitting on the streets, her body full of scratches and scars.
The swordsman walked towards her as the little girl looked up at the green-haired swordsman. "Mister, would you like to buy flowers?" The girl said as the swordsman glanced at the girl.
"Why are you full of scratches?" Zoro asked as he bent his knees and kneeled down to face the little girl. "Uhhh.. Because I went to the forest to pick flowers and end up being attacked by the merchants who are also picking flowers for the festival." The girl said as she smiled at the young swordsman.
"Huh? They will go that far and attack a harmless girl to get these flowers?" Zoro asked as the little girl looked at him with her innocent eyes. "We need money for my dad's medication, so my mom and I went out to sell these flowers to travelers, though the flowers are all destroyed and stolen." The little girl explained as the swordsman scratched his head.
"Why do people on this Island are so obsessed with this flower? Is it because it's shiny?" Zoro asked as Usopp saw the green-haired man. "Oi Zoro! Where have you been?" The young sniper yelled as he ran towards the young swordsman.
"Why is this flower so important to people here?" The swordsman asked his self as the little girl looked at the green-haired man. "Mister these are Crystal Flowers." the girl said as she smiled innocently at Zoro.
"Huh? Uhhh. Crystal Flowers? What's so special about them?" The swordsman added, as he looked at the flowers the young girl was holding. "What's that?" Usopp asked as he looked at what Zoro was looking at.
"Because these flowers only bloom every ten years, which is why people most specially guys are so eager to get them." the little girl smiled as Zoro looked at her. "Huh? Why do guys needs to buy this flower?" Usopp asked as he looked closely at the flower.
"My mother said to me before that these are the Lover's Flowers. The man gives them to the person he loves and cares for in a full moon." The little girl said as she looked at the flower she was holding. "Eh? That sounds ridiculous." Usopp said as Zoro slapped the young sniper on his head and glared at him.
"Ouch! That hurts!" The sniper protested as Zoro looked back at the young girl. "Why on a full moon?" The young swordsman asked as the blonde-haired girl looked back at him and smiled.
"Huh?" Usopp said as he looked at Zoro with a confused expression on his face. "Why are you interested suddenly with a flower? That's unlike you." The sniper said as Zoro glared at him that made the sniper shut his mouth.
The young swordsman just pointed at the little girl as Usopp saw the scars and scratches on her body. "HAH! What happened to you little girl? You should go to a doctor and get those treated!" Usopp said that shocked the little girl and surprised Zoro.
"What the hell! Why are you screaming at my ear!" The swordsman complained as the little girl started to laugh at the two men.
However, her smile slowly disappeared when she looked at herself and remembered her father, "I will rather buy medicines for my dad than get these treated." The girl commented as Usopp and Zoro looked at her.
"What kind of flowers are they? And what's with the full moon?" The swordsman asked as the girl smiled at Zoro, "Because these flowers are known as the Flower of the moon goddess, if the Man gives them in a full moon to the person he loves the flowers will work its magic and the couple will not stop loving each other." The girl said looking at the green-haired man.
Zoro just looked at the little girl as he saw her looking at the flowers she was holding. "My Dad gave my mom the same kind of flowers ten years ago, and they are still together. Even though we got kicked out from our house and we are like this, they still love each other every day." The little girl said as a tear formed on her eyes.
Usopp looked at the little girl as he became teary, "My parents raised me up and did everything for me to go to school, but my dad suddenly became ill last year which is why our family's business died. So I dropped out of school because my mom can't afford the prices already, I want to help them as much as I could, that is why I tried my best to get these flowers. However, since those people got all the bloomed flowers that I picked on the meadows all that's left to me are these. No one would even buy them since it's not as beautiful as the others. Sniff... sniffs..." The little girl said as tears fell from her eyes.
Hearing her story, Usopp started to cry as Zoro just looked at the young sniper. "Oi! Why are you crying?" The swordsman said with an irritated expression.
"It's because she went through a lot." Usopp said while Zoro looked back at the little girl, "Show me the guys who took the flowers little girl and we will get them back." Zoro said briefly as the little girl looked at the green-haired swordsman.
"Uhhhh.. It's okay mister... You don't need to do that... Sniff..." the little girl, said faintly as she looked on the flowers that she was holding. "My mother said to just leave it with them.. Maybe they need it more." The little girl said that surprised both Zoro and Usopp.
"What are you saying? Those men did this to you, a child. You should get back at them and get your flowers back and teach those thugs a thing or two!" The young sniper yelled as the little girl looked at him with a rather scared expression. "I... I am sorry mister... However, my dad w... He won't like that..." She said as Zoro looked at the young girl.
"You said you wan..." Usopp said but before he could finish his statement Zoro extended his hand giving a sign for the young sniper to stop.
A sigh slipped out the green-haired swordsman's mouth as he looked at the girl. "How much are they?" Zoro smiled at the girl while Usopp was now dumbfounded at what he is hearing.
"These? uhhhh... We sell the flowers for 100 beli Mister, but since they are ruined, 20 beli would be a fair price. I think?" The little girl said as Zoro looked at her and gave her a brief smile. "How many flowers do you have?" The swordsman added as the girl looked at her basket.
"I only have three, Mister." The girl said as Zoro grinned at the young girl. "I will take all three then." The swordsman said as Usopp was rather dumbfounded at what was happening.
Zoro is interested in buying those flowers. However, those flowers are for lovers… Wait, does that mean he has someone he loves already? The Sniper thought as he looked at the young swordsman.
The little girl looked at the swordsman as she wiped her tears off her eyes. "Tha.. Thank you Mister!" The girl said as she reached out for the crystal flowers out her basket, tied the stems with a white ribbon, and put a small heart shape lock. "Here Mister, if you give the flowers to the person you love, you must open the pendant together for the magic to work." the girl said with a radiant smile on her face.
The swordsman looked at the lock as he looked back at the young sniper. "Oi Usopp, give me 300 beli." Zoro said looking at him, "Oi, why will I have to pay for you!" Usopp yelled angrily looking back at the green-haired man.
Zoro just looked back at the sniper as he sighed, "Because I don't have any money with me, I had to pay Nami for eating those oranges…" The swordsman said looking at him. "Tsss…" Usopp said as he reached for his bag and gave Zoro the money.
Zoro grinned at the girl and gave her the money, "Tha.. Thank you Mr. I hope the flowers will work its magic on you tonight." The girl said as she smiled at the green-haired man while Usopp looked at his wallet with a rather depressed expression on his face.
"I hope this is enough to buy medicines for my dad." The girl said as Usopp then suddenly realized what Zoro was doing as he looked at the swordsman.
"He..He..He. Who would have thought that you still have a heart?" The sniper said as Zoro glared at the young sniper. "Uhh..." Usopp said as he looked at the green-haired man nervously.
"Thank you again Mister!" The girl said as Usopp looked at her, "Wait little girl. We have a friend who is a doctor. If you want we could ask him to check your dad!" The sniper said as the little girl's eyes widened. "Really Mister, you have a friend that is a doctor?" The girl said as she looked at the young long nosed man.
Zoro then looked at the little girl and looked at Usopp. "Yeah, might as well ask Chopper to treat her scars." The swordsman said as the young sniper nodded.
The swordsman then gave the flowers to the sniper, "Hide this, I will get it from you later…" Zoro said but before Usopp could protest, the green-haired man looked at him and grinned, "If you tell anyone about this, I will slice you up…" The swordsman said as Usopp looked at him nervously and nodded.
"Let's go to the hotel." Usopp said as he looked at the little girl, "Come on!" The sniper said as the little girl looked at him and smiled, "Okay mister." The young girl said and was about to take a step but stopped.
"I should inform first my mom, she might be worried about me." The girl said as Usopp looked back at her, "Yeah... I guess you should." The sniper said as Zoro scratched his head. "Yeah, yeah, let's go." The swordsman said as the little girl smiled and led the way to their house.
Meanwhile, as Zoro and Usopp were accompanying the little girl to their house, their Nakama seemed to have lost his way through the city.
"Wonder where did they go?" The raven-haired man said as he looked around and saw countless people walking the streets, Shit! With this amount of people here, I will have a hard time looking for them. Ace thought to himself. "Guess I should just head back." He briefly said as he turned around to go back to the hotel and saw two members of the royal army of Anastasis.
"Shit." Ace said as he looked down and covered his face with his hat, "If they see me here, it might cause trouble for Luffy and the others." The raven-haired man said as the first soldier from the royal army looked at his direction.
Ace started to look around as he noticed that a soldier was looking at his direction as their eyes meet. "Dammit!" The raven-haired man said as he saw an alleyway on his right side.
"Oi, that guy looks familiar." The first soldier said briefly notifying his ally, "Tsss." The raven-haired man said as he quickly dashed towards the alleyway.
"Huh? Where?" The second Soldier said as the other man looked at the direction of where Ace was before. "Huh?" He asked himself as they quickly ran towards the area, "He was here earlier." The first soldier said as he scratched his head.
Both soldiers looked around and saw the alleyway, "There!" The second soldier said as he pointed at the running man, "Inform the others!" The soldier said as they reached for their den-den mushi.
"Tsss. Why am I running?" Ace asked himself as he quickly ran on the alleyway. I was the former second division commander of the whitebeard pirates. He thought to himself as a sigh slipped out his mouth, he knew all too well that he could easily defeat two normal soldiers without even breaking a sweat. "If only those bastards are not here, things would be different." He said briefly as he looked around and saw the exit.
The raven-haired man dashed as he reached the exit. "hah..." The young man said as he stopped and caught his breath. The people who saw the young man was surprised as Ace started to look around. "Damn!" Ace said as he looked at the people who were looking at him.
"Dammit!" Ace said as he quickly walked away from the exit of the alleyway, "He looks familiar." A man said as they watched the raven-haired man leaving.
"Shit! I guess I'll go to the hotel later." Ace said briefly, as he scratched his head covering his face, "It's almost four years since I was here." The raven-haired man said as he walked the streets and saw several members of the royal army walking.
Tss. Why are they all over the place? The Youngman thought to himself, as he started to look around and saw a park on his right. "I guess I should just hide there first, until the coast is clear." Ace said as he turned around and headed on the direction of the park.
The raven-haired man walked inside the park as he heard birds chirping. The park has a peaceful feeling that slowly calmed Ace.
As the raven-haired man walked further from the entrance, the sound of the city slowly disappeared as the sound of water and birds took over. It sure is peaceful here. Ace thought as he heard children laughing from the distance.
The Youngman looked around and saw children playing on the playground of the park, "Hey don't run there!" The child yelled as a crash echoed around the peaceful park. "It's your fault!" the child said as a smile formed on Ace's face.
He remembered the scene with him, Sabo and Luffy playing around when they were still kids.
"They can finally play around." Ace said briefly as he continued to watch them play. "You succeeded in getting peace…" The raven-haired man said briefly as the smile on his face slowly disappeared on his face.
"Huh?" Ace said briefly as he heard a faint sound playing from the distance, what's that sound? He thought to himself as the raven-haired man quickly looked around trying to determine where the sound is coming from.
This sounds familiar. Ace thought as he ran towards the direction of the sound near the forested area of the park. "Where is it coming from?" The raven-haired man said trying to find where the sound is coming from.
Thoughts rushed through his mind as the sound gets louder and louder each step he takes. This song sounds familiar… He thought as he saw a clearing on the distance, the young man ran even faster as the song kept on playing.
The raven-haired man ran as he suddenly stopped when he reached the clearing where he saw an open field full of flowers. Wh.. Who? Ace thought to himself as his eyes widened as he saw a figure of a woman playing the flute near the shore of the lake.
Her long ruby red hair moved as the wind breifly blows, as her slender figure is evident on her white Grecian styled long dress. Ace slowly walked towards the figure as he stepped on a branch, Shit! He thought as it snapped from the force of his feet hitting it.
The figure in front of him quickly stopped playing her flute and turned around revealing her emotionless yet beautiful face as the raven-haired man's eyes widened.
"R… Ro… Rosa…" Ace said as a he looked at the red-haired maiden in front of him. "Is it really you?" The Youngman briefly said as he rubbed his eyes while the woman gazed blankly at the raven-haired man. Her dazed expression slowly changed as a rather faint frown formed on her beautiful face.
Tears started to form, her emotionless eyes slowly changed as the raven-haired man walked closer to her. "A…A…Ace?" The songstress said as her voice cracked with the rush of emotions she felt until tears finally fell from her emerald colored eyes.
"Yo.. You're alive?" The woman asked faintly as Ace looked at her and bit his lower lip as he went closer to the red-haired beauty, his hands extending reaching for the songstress until he held her and locking his arms to form a hug.
The red-haired maiden was shocked at the sudden appearance of the man and did not react with his action as Ace held her even tighter. "I thought I will never get the chance to hold you like this again." Ace said faintly as he held her tightly in his arms.
"I… Is this true, you're really alive?" The red-haired maiden said as she felt the Youngman's arm holding her even tighter. "I'm here... It's me Rosa." He said as tears continued to fall from the maidens eyes.
"Vergil said that you died two years ago…" Rosa said, as Ace remained quiet. Vergil? He thought to himself as he heard the young woman talk.
"You.. You shouldn't be here.. You should leave at once… It's not safe here at this time." She said as the young man kept quiet holding her tightly. "If they see you here, they.. They will kill you." The red-haired maiden said as she tried to push Ace away.
"Just let me just hold you for a while longer." Ace said briefly as the woman kept silent as her hands stopped pushing the raven-haired man and slowly crept up on his back holding the young man.
"It's dangerous here, if Vergil sees you… He will surely kill you." The maiden said, as Ace remained silent and hugged the maiden even tighter.
Shit, so that means that he is still here? I hope the others won't run into him until we leave... The raven-haired man thought as he held the red-haired woman in his hands.
Luffy on the other hand was running joyfully across the City looking for more food, "I can't believe they are giving this much food for free!" The captain said happily, as he held sausages, drumsticks, meat and ham on his hands.
While looking around for the next shop, the young captain felt a rather strong presence, which caused him to stop suddenly from his search for food.
"Huh?" The raven-haired man said as he looked around, "what's that noise?" The young captain said as he started to hear the women around him screaming, while the men around him looked rather annoyed and defeated.
"What's happening?" The captain said as he looked around and saw women gathering as a handsome silver-haired man walked down the street in front of him.
Luffy looked carefully at the intimidating man heading towards him, as each step he takes commanded respect from the people around him.
Huh? Who is that? The raven-haired man thought to himself as the young captain looked at the man as he walked towards him, "This feeling?" Luffy said as his eyes widened as if time has stopped when the man passed him by.
I ca.. I can't move.. He thought to himself and for a split second, the sensation was gone as the man walked away from the raven-haired captain.
Luffy immediately looked back as he saw the figure of the man getting smaller and smaller as he walked farther and farther away from him. "Emperors haki?" The young captain said as people started to move heading to the streets yet again.
"He seems different from the people on the parade, wonder who he is?" The young captain said as he started to walk back trying to find the unknown man.
Hope you all enjoy reading this chapter as much as I really enjoyed writing it =)
