Chapter 12: Chronicler of the straw hats.
"That way we won't be able to reach the Grand Line." Says Nami with a serious face.
"It really is, right?. There is a lack of meat. We have been eating fruit every day." Says Luffy while eating another apple.
"I also want a drink." Says Zoro, lying as usual.
"That's right, I also want to take a shower." I say nodding my head in acknowledgment.
"What are you talking about?." Nami punches me on the top of the head.
"The Grand Line is the most dangerous place in the world. Besides, powerful pirates are there, in the mouth of the One Piece. And of course there are huge ships." Says Nami
"And a big crew, right." DIz Luffy eating another apple.
"We are in short supply and our boat is a shame ... We have no chance of getting there." Nami looks at us as if trying to reason with us. Well, I understand what she wants to talk about, so I don't.
"We really need a cook and a musician." Luffy speaks, as if it were the most truth in the world.
"A musician?." Zoro and I faced each other ... Zoro then burst out laughing.
"Hey, don't compromise the power of a musician, he is essential for the crew." I say agreeing with Luffy's idea. How can we travel across the sea without Brook singing?
"You are idiots ?." Nami is amazed with us. Zoro starts to laugh harder.
"Ah .. further south from here, there is an island with people. It would be great if we could get a better ship there." Nami looks at the map.
"So why did you hit me?. A ship has to have a toilet, doesn't it?" I say as I rub the cock that seemed to go up on my head from Nami's punch.
"Okay, let's eat meat." Shouts Luffy with his arms in the sky.
"Don't forget about the drink." Zoro accompanies him.
"Enough with you !." Nami screams, ignoring my valid point.
"Hey, I'm rational here, Nami." I say for the clear injustice.
Nami looks at me, and then turns her head ignoring me.
"You are also irrational like them. Besides you are a pirate now." The last part Nami says in a whisper to herself.
'Yes, I'm a pirate now.' I think with a smile.
Let's go back a few days before ...
...
...
"YEA." I say with a happy smile on my face.
"Shishishi. You will be our Nakama now." Luffy and I did a skis dance to celebrate.
"Hu. You don't look that strong, are you sure you want to join a pirate crew. You could end up dying, you know?" Zoro asks me directly.
"Hey Hey, the nice cool guy is strong, he defeated that lion." Luffy comes to my defense.
"Actually, he's right Luffy, I'm not that strong, I managed to defeat the lion by getting ready." I say looking at Luffy and Zoro.
"But yes, I want to be on the crew, to be a pirate, you must be" determined to risk your life ". This is something I am willing to risk." I say as I face Zoro, which in retrospect does the same.
"Hu. Well, I won't stop, since you're willing to do so." Zoro after looking at me for a few seconds, replies.
"Hehe." I'm glad, Zoro accepted my presence on the crew.
"Thinking now you have called him a nice guy Luffy, we haven't introduced ourselves yet." Zoro realizes this fact. Weighing now is true, I haven't even performed yet.
"Ahhhh, that's right ... Nice guy. My name is Monkey. D. Luffy, Shishshishishi." Luffy introduces himself.
"Roronoa Zoro." Zoro nods.
"Nami." Nami is simple and quick, after we see him looking. (Actually, I did a little research and didn't find Nami's last name.)
"Tennouji Kotarou. Nice to meet you." I say with a smile, happy on my face.
Before we can continue our conversation, we see a crowd of people arriving, along with the mayor.
"Hiiiii. We talked for a long time, come on." Shouts Nami, while putting all the treasures on the boat, and then we set sail.
As Luffy's boat didn't have room for one more, I ended up boarding Nami's boat.
Then the mayor shouts out, thanking us for saving his city, Nami gets mad at Luffy for leaving a bag of treasure.
"And you Kotarou ... I may have allowed you to be on my boat. But you cannot pass this way." Nami looks at me angrily as she draws an imaginary line on her arm.
"Kotarou, what was that trick you did when we faced Buggy?." LUffy looks at me with a brilliant look.
"Trick? ... Ahhh ... To tell you the truth, I'm not sure how. I ate an Akuma no Mi just under 5 days ago, I called it Record Record no Mi, she turned me into a Record Man, allowing me to record everything I see. I'm not sure what else I can do with it. " I say with an embarrassed face.
Luffy, Nami and Zoro then face me.
"WHAT QUEEEEEE?!" They scream.
Nami with bright eyes. "Will you be able to register the island so I can make a better map of it?"
"Will you be able to record my fights?" Zoro looked at me, although it didn't show on his face, he certainly looks excited.
"Will you be recording our adventures?" Luffy looks at me with bright eyes.
"Wait ... Are you a perfect Chronicler?" Everyone looks at me. It makes me confused ... What is a Chronicler?
And that's how I started my adventure as a straw hat.
...
...
Present
"Luffy, before we arrived in the city, I wanted to ask you something that is on my mind until now ..." I speak with Luffy.
"Hu? ..." With my mouth full of apples, I gain his attention.
"When we were leaving Orange Town, you touched the water, didn't you lose all your strength? ... When I went to test this, I lost all my strength." I ask Luffy.
"Hummm ... I don't know for sure, but I don't lose my strength when I touch the waves ..." Luffy after swallowing everything in his mouth speaks.
"And drops of water? ..." I ask confused, remembering the tests.
"I don't lose ..." Replies Luffy confused.
And then I test my theory again ... And I realized it was wrong ... Akuma no Mi users get weak with standing water ... "moving" water that doesn't affect us ... Because I felt weak when I tested with the glass of water? ... Maybe because I ate Akuma no Mi not a day before, or maybe it was just mental pressure, and it made me think that I got weaker ... anyway, now I understand how water weakness works ...
After some time we finally arrived at the village ... Village Syrup ...
Chapter 13: Knowing Usopp.
"Finally LAND... How I missed you". I suffered to get used to the boat. When I walked on de Buggy, I had at least one place to sleep, already on da Nami's, it was extremely uncomfortable... If I could, I would hug the floor.
"It's been a long time since I set foot on dry land!" I guess I'm not the only one who missed that.
"That's where there's a village ?." Luffy asks pointed to the dirt road made.
"Yes... Looks pretty small... But..." Nami says as he looks at the map.
"Then there'll be meat! Meat !... Must have a place to eat, huh?" Luffy drooling seemed to want to attack Nami to go eat soon.
"Stop thinking only of meat." As Nami and Luffy argued, Zoro slouching, and I took a look around. Soon Zoro felt something, and I was paying attention, too.
"Look out! There's someone around." Zoro was ready to draw his sword.
How could Zoro feel something like that? I could clearly feel the difference in strength between me and Zoro.
Luffy was curious to look around, but couldn't find anything,
"Beware!" Zoro alerts us, Nami and I retreated while Luffy's feet were hit by bullets, something that Luffy can deflect easily, despite being a surprise attack.
Pirate flags then rise in the bushes above the hill. And what happens next is something that was a bit anxious and animated. Luffy seeing the flags also gets very excited.
"It's time to get excited ?." Well, Nami has a point. But if she was from my world she would be excited too.
And then she appears, the big shot of the Straw Hats. Usopp!.
"I'm Usopp, the leader of the pirate gang that runs this village! I am much admired and revered as "my captain"! I am Captain Usopp!" Usopp had a big nose like in the anime, it's amazing to see this personally. Besides, it seems that Luffy recognized that Usopp is Yasopp's son.
And then comes Usopp's big lies, if he would decrease the number of troops he imagined, it would become much more convincing. Anyway, this didn't mimic my animation, instead it increased, did the theory that all Usopp's lies someday became reality? I want to record these achievements.
"Even you Kotarou ?." Zoro looks at me.
'What, I can no longer admire others ?... Buhhh...'. I think to myself.
Then Nami unmasks Ussop and finds out the exact number, even she was shocked by his reaction, it's understandable, since what he did was really weird.
The kids run away when Nami finds them.
"I've never seen a pirate use a slingshot." Nami speaking.
"Hahahahaah, you're very funny!" Luffy being who he is.
"Look here. Don't make fun of me! I'm a very honorable man! I preach honor and truth. That's why they call me "Usopp the Honored." ... That I couldn't remember... Usopp the Honorable ?... I hold my laughs, I did well, I didn't want to spoil the climate that started to grow here.
"The power of my slingshot... It's better than a lot of pistols out there!". Ussop says, preparing his sling.
"Since you said pistol... Pay with your life." As much as I knew it was a Luffy joke, his pressure was very real...
"That's not a toy." Zoro soon realized the game Luffy wanted, I also knew, so I prepared for the game. Grabbing a knife he was carrying, holding it in my hand.
"In front of you... There are real pirates." Says Zoro.
"This is not a joke. If you hold a gun, you must hold it responsibly... Or if not, something could happen, yes?" I use my Akuma in E, my aura soon took the form of a real pirate. Luffy, Zoro and I had shady faces. I can remember this scene on anime... Being part of it is something I don't regret.
The pressure reigned in the atmosphere, the pirate flags of Ussop were falling one by one. Ussop was softening cold, and his body was shaking to bitter.
Luffy repeated his words, which was enough for Ussop to surrender to the pressure, thus giving up shooting and falling to his knees.
"Real pirates really have an aura and a different way of speaking. What a lot..." Me, Zoro and Luffy, we looked at each other...
"Bu...Bufuhahahahhahahahaha..." Soon we laughed, I never knew I could do something like that, but for sure it was a lot of fun.
Luffy then starts talking to Ussop, I go back to talk to Nami.
"Why are you still hiding?" I ask curiously, since Nami was still behind the boat.
"Shut up." Nami looks at me angry, I've gotten used to such an attitude, so I didn't care much.
"Come on, I want to eat something." I extend my hand to Nami, she with a little hesitation accepts.
Right after Usopp finished talking to Luffy, he took us to a snack bar.
Luffy had already eaten 6 plates and the seventh was already in his mouth. Nami and I are normal, we eat civilized... Zoro was enjoying a drink that he didn't have a chance to taste for days.
Luffy was telling how he found Yasopp The story was very interesting, but the fact that Usopp's father left him alone with his mother is sad... Such people were never good parents, it's the same as Gon's father, he did the same as Yasopp. Usopp is proud of him, so I won't take this matter forward, if Usopp accepts him, then there's no like me, a stranger being intruding.
Nami then asks if there is any way we can get a ship, which Usopp clearly lies. Zoro as smart as he was, asks about the fancy house, Nami taking advantage of it tries to achieve something with her doggy look... Sorry Nami, that doesn't work on someone in love like Usopp. Usopp then runs away to avoid us.
"Don't worry Nami, you haven't lost your charm yet." I give her a smile of consolation, along with a ladybird, that must have pissed her off, since a plate came flying into my face.
Shortly after Ussop ran away, the 3 children who helped him entered the cafeteria.
"The captain is not..."
"I wonder if..."
"Hey pirates, what did you do with our captain? Where is he?" "Chain!"
"Chain!"
In front of our table, the three children looked at us, they trembled lightly, but they were brave children.
"Ah... The meat was delicious." Says Luffy as he strokes his tummy.
"Yes, the thigh was very soft..." I nod my head to Luffy's comment.
"Meat ?! Thigh ?!. Does the captain ?... That no... What you did with it ?" kids really have a good imagination...
Nami could barely stand the laughter. And Zoro was very playful now, it was already the second game he did, he must be in a good mood anyway.
He drank from a glass while watching the scene with a smile.
"The captain of you ?... We ate him..." Zoro with his evil smile.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... YOUR WITCH..." The children shout.
"Why are they looking at me ?..." What the children did completely took away the fun Nami was having.
"BuuuBuaahahahah." I couldn't stand the laughter anymore, not just me, but Luffy and Zoro... That sure is fun.
"D- Don't worry Nami, you haven't lost your charm yet, you've just become a witch, you can come back, I trust you" I give an encouraging smile, but my laughter has given me completely. It gave me a purple in my belly, but it was worth it.
The children were relieved when they realized it was just a joke. After we finished eating, the children took us to the mansion.
'Honor in lie heim... Now I understand why he called himself Ussop, the honorable, instead of Ussop, the liar... I have to apologize to Usopp later, I ended up despising him because of that...'. I listen to the children talking, so my understanding of what Usopp did, changed completely from perspective...
Luffy then uses his power... It was unpleasant, Nami and the children were lucky they fell in the woods, so they didn't get hurt too much... Luffy and Zoro fell to the ground... I really need to improve my physique, I feel like I almost broke something, Zoro is without a single injury... Luffy, he's a rubber so it doesn't count.
Usopp, try lying that we are from his gang, Luffy denies it. When Luffy was ready to ask Kaya a favor. Klahador... Or better yet, Captain Kuro of the Black Cat pirates shows up...
Here's another decision making. I know that Kaya is only concerned about her illness, and I also know little about her personality, I know that Kaya is kind, sensitive and against violence, she trusts Klahador so much, that she is willing to slap Ussop... If she herself didn't believe in the Ussop, why would she believe me, that the Klahador is a pirate? Even more without any concrete proof... Thinking like that, I haven't taken an attitude for now.
The next sequence was the same as the anime, Klahador started to annoy Ussop, which made him punch him. So Kaya prevents Ussop from continuing with his actions.
"NEVER COME NEAR THAT MANSION AGAIN." Shouts Klahador.
Usopp gets so angry that he says never go near this mansion again, something that made Kaya sad. The three children shout at Klahador, which makes them hide behind Nami.
Klahador then throws us out of the mansion.
"So stupid... A butler who thinks of his own good ?. He's literally preventing and locking her up at home so as not to have contact with anyone, I don't know about problems, much less I'm a doctor, but I understand enough, that living stuck at home causes more harm than good". I speak loud enough for everyone to hear, this may not be enough for Kaya to suspect, but maybe I plant a seed of doubt.
"Come on..." Nami grabs my collar as he pulls me out of the mansion.
"You know Nami..." I say as I look at her.
"Hu ?" She tilts her head a bit, it was a very cute action...
"I think your charm's back, the kids shouldn't find you a witch to hide behind anymore." I say with a malicious smile.
She then looks at me angry and simply stops holding me and starts to ignore me.
"Hey Hey, you're not upset you are. ?" She kept ignoring me even after we sat down to rest.
"Listen, where did Luffy go?" Nami asks... Of course it wasn't for me...
"You'll know... He must have gone after Usopp." Says Zoro.
"The captain must be on the beach."
"Yes, he always goes there when he's upset."
"Luffy must be worried about him." I add.
"You want to go?"
"Huh? Ah, no." Zoro says, so I don't question it.
Then Nami asks about the other child, who soon comes running back. Then he talks about a man walking along the shore, who soon arrives on the scene.
Then finally my time came. I get a slight anxiety.
I remember a conversation I had with a friend on the Internet while watching this specific episode, I remember asking him how Jango can have the power to hypnotize others? So we spent the whole afternoon discussing it, that's when another friend came into the conversation and gave the definitive answer. It was something Oda himself said, Jango gained his powers after eating a mushroom that had grown on his chin while he was sleeping. He only ate the lid and the trunk of the mushroom resided on his chin. I was discouraged for not being able to copy the technique of hypnotizing, but using my Akuma in E should help me to get a counter measure for that.
Jango then presents himself as a hypnotist, and the children are eager to try.
"Don't talk nonsense. Why do I have to present my techniques to people I've never met in my life?". But then he accepts. This confirms once again, that the ability to hypnotize is not only a technique, if not because he would show people more ?.
"I can try too ?." I ask.
"Eh ?! Are you a child by chance ?." Nami says to me.
"Weren't you ignoring me?." Which I answer with a smile.
Nami realizing his mistake, gives me an angry look, and ignores me again, but his attention was still here.
Then Jango explains how the technique works. My Akuma in E recording her actions.
"One, Two, Jango." So we fell asleep.
Soon we woke up, it didn't take that long. And so Jango went away, walking on his back.
Now it's time to prepare. I think to myself.
Chapter 14:The Brave Usopp.
"What about the captain?. He's taking too long." One of the children grumbles.
"Yeah, so is Luffy." Zoro is restless, I can see that, even if he doesn't show it.
While we waited for Luffy and Ussop, I was thinking of a method to face the Black Cat pirates, I only have a record of Kuro and Jango, even though they are not so complex, it is still better than having none. Jango's is mostly useful.
I hear one of the children screaming, changing my vision for them, I see Usopp running towards us. Nami tries to call him, but Usopp ignored her and kept running in some direction.
The children were talking in a corner, so I approached Zoro and Nami.
"Luffy was not with him." I tell Zoro, I wasn't feeling worried, I know who Luffy is.
"He's fine ... But let's look for him." Zoro approaches the children.
"It's good to find him soon, you'll know what he did." Nami looked concerned, I know she cares about us even though she doesn't show it.
The children then took us where Usopp always goes when he is upset. Nami managed to find Luffy lying on the cliff, the children seeing Luffy's body, shuddered and thought he was dead. But I soon heard the snoring sound, so I knew that Luffy was fine, Zoro seemed to have heard it too, because he poked Luffy's ass to wake him up. Luffy being a Rubber Man, he doesn't get hurt in a fall.
As soon as we exchange words, and climb the cliff again, Luffy begins to tell us what had happened. Even if I prepare myself, whether mentally or in tactics, I still feel that it is not enough.
Halfway down the road, we met Usopp, who, speaking to the children, said that the pirates were his lie. After looking at the children, I could see that they were very upset with him, no ... They were unhappy with Usopp. I can understand, in their view Ussop lied for honor, but this time for them, Usopp lied for revenge. Of course, we believed in Luffy, even though Usopp begged him saying it was a lie, we wouldn't believe it until Luffy said it was a lie. As the children walked away, I couldn't help but see Usopp's sad face. For every action there is a consequence, because he lies so much, people stopped believing his words. But that's why Luffy accepted him, even though nobody believed him, Usopp is willing to stand up to protect them, that's why he has my respect.
We left the place and went to the sea, where Nami used a medical kit to clean and stop the wound on Usopp's arm. It was now dark, the Black Cat pirates had a few hours to attack.
"Tell me, why did you do that?" I see Luffy ask Usopp. I pay attention to your conversation, even though my focus is elsewhere (Secret).
"It is because I am a liar." Usopp looked lonely. I remembered my previous life, when I was abandoned by my friends.
"No one will ever believe me again. I was naive to find ..." I agree that it was naive, on both sides.
"It doesn't matter if you were naive. The truth is always the truth." It seemed that Zoro agreed with my thoughts.
"Naivety comes from both sides, be it yours or the people of the village. They have lived with you for 17 years ... They should be able to differentiate between what is and what is not the truth." That was the least they should have done out of respect for Usopp's mother.
"Pirates are really going to attack the village, aren't they?." Nami asks, she looked kind of discouraged ... I think everyone is.
"Yeah ... You bet they will ... But everyone in the village thinks it's a lie ... They think that tomorrow will be a normal day just like everyone else." Usopp was angry, he could feel it ...
"So I will stay on the beach and face the pirates alone. And everything will remain a lie !. If I am a liar, then I will turn everything into a lie!. This is the village where I grew up and I love this place ... I want to protect everyone here ... "Usopp cried, could understand his feelings, protect those he loves ... This village is the treasure of Usopp, and he will do what is necessary to defend you. I couldn't help a smile appearing on my face ... And people still call Usopp a coward ... They really don't understand anything ... Cowardice always exists in a person, but courage is prevalent, even if it is different from person to person. Usopp is brave, he has his fears, but he still faces them head on when necessary ... This is not cowardice ... but courage.
"I didn't think so. He dismissed the bribes and faced it all." Zoro realized ... No ... Everyone here realized this.
"Hehe, I really wanted to beat that butler up. He displeased me when I found him." My smile stretched across my face.
"Stay clear. The pirates' treasures are all left to me." Nami would never refuse the opportunity to get some treasure, this must be reflected in the hand that makes a symbol similar to Berry.
"Oushi. We'll give you a hand." Luffy is willing to do this for those he thinks are worthy.
"Are you going to ... Really fight with me? But why?." Usopp was still crying.
"How why? Because they are many, isn't it obvious?." Luffy he doesn't read your mind.
"If you're scared, it leaks and doesn't get in the way." Zoro ... Sometimes you can be as dumb as Luffy ...
"Zoro was all that talk for nothing?." Ahaa ... I think I really should be part of this crew, I must be destined for that ...
"That's right, I'm not scared ... No matter how many, I'm going to stay and fight! Do you know why?. Because I'm the brave and fearless sea wolf, Captain Usopp! ..." Usopp's leg didn't stop to shake. He knew that, so he hit his thighs to try to make them stop.
"This is no joke! Our enemies are pirates of the Klahador, of course I'm scared !. I'm getting all pissed off !. I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me !. Get out of here! Usopp was trembling more and more, but he refuses to be seen as a coward or fearful.
"No one here is mocking you. Listen, we will help you, because you are brave." I knew that you understood my thoughts Zoro.
"Being afraid is not a cause for shame, it would be shameful if you had run off alone and left the village. But you refused, no matter how much they didn't believe you. How could we make fun of someone like you?" As someone who is afraid, I understand Usopp's anxiety, I'm just keeping calm because of my Akuma no Mi.
"I don't risk my life just out of pity." That got me ... But it's true, Luffy never risked his life, or that of the crew out of pity, there was always some event that pulled him to meet someone, and then that person gains his recognition ... So he saves them , not out of pity.
What we said seemed to impact Usopp, as the tears that had stopped started to fall again.
"Wow ... Are you ..." Was that the end of an episode in the anime? ... It must have been ... Damn, that was impactful ...
Chapter 15: Before the war.
"Listen. The pirates are going to attack tomorrow morning from this side of the coast." I hear Usopp saying, I have a question, so I will speak after he finishes his explanation.
"This is the only access route to the village. The village is surrounded by hills, there is no other way to enter it and attack it ... That is, if we protect this entrance, there is certainly no way for them to enter. and attack. " I see that Usopp has finished his explanation, so I will put my point in view.
"Usopp, there is one more entry." I say while raising my hand, I don't know how Luffy, Nami and Zoro didn't remember her.
"Eh?." Everyone seemed confused, since even Usopp who lives in the village since he was born, did not talk about this point.
"When we get to the village, we don't go through that entrance, and what if the pirates attack there?" Usopp seems to go pale, well he left such an obvious mistake.
"Ohhh ... Really." The staff seemed to have an understanding look.
"How can I have forgotten that point? ... If you hadn't remembered and they attacked from that side, I would have compromised the village ... How can I be so foolish! ..." I see Usopp hold his head ...
"Hey Hey, calm down, you didn't do anything wrong, we're here to help, not only in the battle, but also in the plans, so we're a team, aren't we?" I smile to try to get rid of the panic that Usopp was feeling at the moment.
"That's right, Shishishishishi." Luffy with his characteristic smile approached Usopp to cheer him up.
"You are right ... We are not perfect." Usopp seemed to give me a grateful smile. I answer him with a raised finger with a mini smile.
"We will have to divide the team ... The pirates can attack from both sides. We will make sure that one team stays at the north entrance and another team stays here." Usopp seemed to have calmed down and started with another plan.
"And how do we know which side was attacked?." Nami got up and asked Usopp.
"... They will attack early ... I heard Klahador talking about not going overtime, they can't be late for some reason ... So they probably attacked one of the two points until sunset ... The side who was not attacked at that time, must run to the North point ... "Usopp traced with a piece of wood, a simple strategy on the ground.
"I see no reason to refuse the plan. But who are the teams?" Zoro got up to speak, yes that's right ... I know which side they attacked on, but this is real life, there may be a change in plan ... You never know if my presence may have changed something, even if you didn't do it no significant changes in history so far. A backap plan will do no harm.
"What do you know how to do?" Usopp asks, probably to divide the teams.
"Cut." That was Zoro. Go for it, his deeds are actually even more absurd than it looks in the anime.
"To stretch." That was Luffy. Ability to stretch ... I wonder why you thought Luffy had useless power? ...
"Remember." That was the great, beautiful, wonderful me. I register, but I won't tell everyone about it. Tehe.
"To steal." That was Nami ... Did I mention how beautiful she is? ... She also hits very hard, if I hadn't eaten Akuma no Mi and my body had evolved improving every day, maybe I would pass out with just one punch her.
"And me in hiding." That was Usopp. Nami, Luffy and Zoro caught Usopp and shouted at him. I stand there thinking about something.
"What does Kotarou hear?" Nami asks, did she seem to have a slight look of concern, or was it just my impression?
"Usopp, your ability is not to hide, it is to lie." I mean, he's really bad at hiding, Zoro found him without even being so attentive.
"DID YOU STAND ALL THAT TIME STOPPING THINKING ABOUT IT?." This time they yelled at me ... What did I do? ...
"How are we going to split two teams? ..." I try to ignore the pain I felt from the bump I had on the head.
"Usopp must be in one, and Kotarou in the other ... Ussop knows the way to get to the other entrance, Kotarou can remember the way ... Luffy and Zoro are the same, they must be one in each team, they are the strongest for now. " Nami looks worried, she was the only one left.
"And you must be on one of the teams to steal the pirates, while we distract them." I say as my hands land on his shoulders.
"Of course. I hope they have a lot of gold." Nami's eyes were symbols of Berry. It seems that her concern was not about being the only one left, but about them not having so much gold ...
"So who are the teams going to be?" Luffy asked, he had his hands behind his head.
"Let's do it this way, Luffy, Nami and Kotarou as a team, me and Zoro as another." Usopp seemed to be proud, because he was lifting his nose to the sky, while his hand was on his waist. I wouldn't like to know what's on his mind, but if I were to kick him, he must find Zoro the strongest in the group, that's why I should be with him.
"Okay, so we'll go to the north entrance, that's where my treasures are." Nami didn't even finish and was already walking in that direction, she seemed afraid of the possibility of someone stealing her treasures.
"So come on, if you hear the sound of battle on our side, come running." I say as I run towards Luffy and Nami.
When we arrived at the site, it was almost dawn, all we could do was move the boat out of the way, placing them in another location.
"When they arrived." Nami asks me, it seems that she stopped ignoring me. With a smile on my face I answer.
"They soon arrived, I can already see their ship coming towards us ... And then Nami ... Did you stop ignoring me?" I look at her that night, with the sunset almost rising, she looked stunning ... I couldn't help but blush a little and take my eyes off her. What am I doing ? At one time or another I will be beaten by her for real.
"Hmm." It was all I heard, I couldn't see her face, so I don't know what kind she could be. But looking sideways, did she have red ears, or was it just an impression?
Looking at Luffy, he was already asleep ... I don't understand how he can sleep at a time like this ...
"Luffy, they're coming, wake up ..." I shake his body, which made him open his eyes.
"Beef !." What was he dreaming of.
"No, you idiot, the enemies are coming."
POV Nami.
I see that the two were talking, in fact it was more like punching, and cursing each other. They were so childish ... Why was I attracted to this team? ... There is no point in thinking about these things, at one time or another I will betray them too ...
Brown hair appears in my mind ... Why am I thinking about it? He is also a pirate ... Why would he get into this piracy job? ... Is he just like everyone else because of that? ... Not only him, Luffy and Zoro too ... .
It doesn't matter ... I'm going to save Nojiko and my city, that's my goal ... It's their fault for not distrusting me ...
I end up biting my lips a little, making them bleed a little.
"Hey Nami, are you okay?." I hear a clear voice calling me ... Turning to look at him, I see him with worried eyes ... I don't understand how he can have such innocent eyes ...
"Is nothing." I say as I hide my internal conflicts, and try to avoid his eyes.
"Your lips are bleeding." Before I can give an answer, Kotarou extended his arms and his hand wiped away the drop of blood that was on my lip.
"There ..." Damn smile, because I have to go through this ...
"Idiot." So I step on your foot, and go somewhere else.
===========================
"AiiAiiiAiii ..." What was that? I was just helping her and then she steps on my foot and leaves ... What was that ...
Before you can think of what else might happen, the Pirates' Boat stops at the shore.
"It's time for the fight, are you ready, Nami, Kotarou?." Luffy was in the front while shouting at us.
"You bet." I've been preparing for this fight since I joined the straw hats. I'm more than ready.
Then let the Battle come.
Chapter 16: Complicated fights... Kotarou vs Jango.
"Captain, there are people over the hill." I can hear the pirates screaming ... The captain's voice didn't reach my ears, but you can get an idea based on what the pirates are shouting.
"Kill them."
"Don't let them slow us down."
"AAHHHHRRRRRRRRR."
Many pirates were shouting this constantly.
"Go Luffy, I choose you." I point my finger at the crowd of pirates coming towards us.
"Yoush." I don't know if Luffy understood the reference, but it still looked funny.
"Gomu Gomu no Pistolllll." Luffy then knocks down all the enemies that were there, as if it were a game of bowling. Am I still useful? ...
The following events were the same as in the anime, the pirates called Luffy a monster, and then Jango hypnotizes them to make them think they are strong, but Luffy was also hypnotized, so Luffy defeated everyone who came, went down the hill, and destroyed one piece of the ship, but he was mesmerized and fell asleep.
Zoro with the help of Usopp arrived quickly. Soon after, Jango called the Nyaban brothers.
"Zoro, don't be fooled by their little show, they are pirates." I say to Zoro. The Nyaban brothers then attempt to attack Zoro, who responds as quickly enough as not to have his sword draped. The consequence of this was that the Nyaban brothers were defeated.
"C-Captain Kuro." Klahador or better Kuro, arrives at the place and seeing the pirates defeated, seems to be angry, but hides with his cold face. Me, Nami and Usopp got together, while Zoro stared at Kuro.
"WHAT THE Crap IS THAT ? ..." Kuro yells angrily, is he really like that because of a plan that went wrong? Things are never perfect, he should have a Backup plan, he was destined to lose.
"JANGOOOO, I WILL GIVE YOU 5 MINUTES TO START THIS BAGGAGE. AFTER THIS I WILL KILL EVERYONE HERE." Shouts Kuro after a drastic conversation about his plans, to be able to live in peace.
This is where things got complicated, because we were here at the time, and the Nyban brothers were defeated before Kuro arrived. Jango, approached the two brothers and hypnotized them, causing their wounds to heal and their strength increased absurdly.
"Zoro, can you do it against them?" I ask with curiosity, in the anime, Zoro only violated one of the brothers, but defeated him easily after getting his three swords, this time, Zoro did not lose them, but will be facing both.
"Ah?! ... This is going to be a piece of cake." Zoro looks confident, despite knowing that this fight will be difficult. He had a smile on his face, it seems that he liked the chance to face strong opponents.
"I will leave this fight to you then, I will go after the Hypnotist, he is complicating things more than he should." You must be asking, why didn't I go after Jango before? Because of Kuro. If all of the crew were defeated, the plan would have failed, so he would kill us all, Luffy can face him, Zoro can do it, but if Kuro attacked me, Nami or Usopp, we would be dead.
Jango is the only one who shouldn't be defeated before Kuro arrives, Jango manages to hypnotize, healing his wounds and making them stronger, in addition to being the only one who manages to hypnotize Kaya to make her sign the contract.
"You three." Kuro points to three members of his crew, who were still aware and particularly well.
"Go after Kaya and bring her to me." Jango hypnotized them a third time, the effect must have been even weaker than usual.
"Usopp, go after Kaya and protect her. Nami, try to wake Luffy, Kotarou face the hypnotist." Zoro even while fighting against the Nyaban brothers, still gives the orders ... He really is a first mate in those moments.
"Right." Nami, Usopp and I responded.
Usopp runs towards the mansion. Kuro doesn't stop him, he just lets him through, Kuro is really confident, even if the plan is going down, so he is foolish.
Nami goes down the hill, my vision following her as she did this, before she can get any closer, a sharp sound sounds in the air, something like a blade going towards Nami. Before I could get close to her, I appeared at her side, with the knife in my hand clashing with what I suppose was a Chakram. Has that become a Kunai battle now? This is not Naruto, not Fuck.
"Hey. Your battle is with me a coward." I say while looking at Jango with a sinister look.
"It's cowardly of you to use a hidden attack on a helpless girl." At that point he was already equipped with 10 knives.
"This is not a kid game ... This is a war between pirates. You are not the one who decides what is fair and what is not." Jango is equipped with his Chakrams, two in each hand.
"Go Nami, I take care of this hypnotist. Watch out for the pirates who are there, they may be injured, but they are still dangerous." I wanted to look at Nami so badly, but now is not the time, removing the opponent's vision in a fight is a fatal danger.
"Uh ... Alright, watch out." I could only nod my head in agreement.
Soon the sound of blades hitting the air came. The Jango chakrams were stronger than my ordinary knives, destroying them easily. But what I lacked in quality, I had in quantity.
"Hey, is that all you can do?" Soon I approached Jango, my knives flying towards him, which he easily deflected.
"You are annoying, I have been risking my life as a pirate for years, you are just a child who doesn't know anything about this world." The more blows we exchanged, the more the difference in strength and skill was evident, my clothes were ragged by the Jango Chakrams, but with my reflexes I managed to prevent them from hitting my skin.
When Jango dodges one of my strokes, he throws his Chakram towards my face, but thanks to my quick reflexes, I managed to tilt my head, causing his Chakram to pass over my cheek, causing blood to flow from it.
"Tch ..." Feeling your meat cut is really bad.
This exchange of blows at the beginning was extremely disadvantageous to me, if I wasn't careful I could die. But as the fight continued, less blows were hit on me, and the fight became more and more balanced. Jango sensed this, and forced himself to retreat.
"What are you boy?." I am not a fool like you Jango, I will not count my Akuma no Mi skill.
"What is it, Jango, can't take it anymore?. Weren't you the great pirate and I was just a child?" I couldn't help speaking when I approached for the next wave of blows. When I ran towards Jango, he throws the Chakram towards me, which I deflect with one of my knives.
As soon as I approached Jango, we started another exchange of blows.
This time it was totally different from the previous exchange. Jango did not hit a single blow on me, mine already started cutting him.
In my mind, the entire record of our struggle so far, in the form of footage, is placed one by one, as if it were a jumble of videos. And then the recording is completed. Jango's fighting style is fully recorded, both in mind and body.
"100% TÅroku-zumi: Recorded Style." My eyes took the shape of a film tape. Three knives are then connected to Jango's body, along with a few cuts to the rest of his body ...
"GRHAAAAA ..." Shouts Jango, thus forcing himself to retreat.
But ... My hand went towards my shoulder, and after removing it, a lot of blood was on my hands.
What was that, I thought his style had been registered ... Not only his style, body movements, muscle, mania during the fight ... How did he manage to hurt me? I don't take my eyes off Jango, but my caution was stronger than at the beginning of the fight.
Jango was in front of me, removing the three knives that connected to his belly. Blood started to spill after he removed the three knives.
"You bloody brat ... You really hurt me now ... You know ... I'm extremely pissed off now ... I'm going to show you the true power of Jango, the Hypnotist ..." I see that Jango glasses were broken, lying on the floor ...
I then see Jango put one of his chakrams around his neck, and then he starts his stupid dance, making the Chakram swing from side to side.
"Do you think a captain of a pirate Ship would be weaker than his bribes? ... Why do you think Kuro put me in charge of captain while he was hiding? ... You are very foolish, weak, slow and has no skill. " Jango starts talking nonsense, I prepare my knives.
"1, 2, Jango ..." My eyes were connected with his chakram on his neck ... I didn't expect the bullshit he was saying to be the entrance to his Hypnosis power, it took me by surprise ...
"DIE YOUR FOOL." Jango runs towards me with his Chakram and then ... The sound of a body falling on the floor echoes around the place ... Jango was down, with 10 knives connected to his body ...
"The Fool here is you Jango ..." I think about what happened when we met ... Jango had shown his Hypnosis skill, it ended up being recorded, from that moment until now, I have studied his skill, from the anime I know that if something blocks your view of the chakram it prevents hypnosis, but it is a fact that I don't wear hats, so I've been working on a way to make a record take care of my vision instead of the real world ... This prevents seeing the Jango Chakram, preventing me from being hypnotized ...
"Ah ... Cof ... Cof ..." Jango was still alive ... Not wanting to be as silly as the time I let Richie attack me, I run towards Jango to defeat him for good, before let him try something again ... but I was slower than his words ...
"Bestiality ... 1, 2, Jango ..." The next thing I saw, was a red figure coming towards me, all I could do was try to defend myself. A series of blow exchanges happened again ...
After we parted, I feel a series of deep cuts in my body.
"What is it? ... Hypnosis in itself?." I see jango, without his hat, with messy hair, a large amount of drool falls from his mouth, in each of his hands there is a chakram ... His body was totally red, and his eyes shone with madness ...
Soon Jango started running with even greater speed than before, his superior strength, his attacks getting worse, full of hatred and fury ...
Did he become a beast? ... The exchange of blows that was taking place between me and Jango, was getting worse, even with my record, instead of improving my combat situation, it seemed to get worse ... At least I'm sure that Jango was even worse than me ... This bestiality made his wounds worse and worse ...
My wounds were piling up, but they were still better than the one on my shoulders, in addition to every three strokes I received from his Chakram, I returned one, in the shape of a knife stuck without his body ...
I may have been weaker, I may have lost more blood, I may be the most inexperienced and weak ... But Jango was still a fool, using hypinosis to make you a beast, it didn't help you, it just extended your fighting time .. ...
And as if the world responded to my thought, our next exchange of blows was different, dodging his blow that contained a chakram, and one last knife stuck in his back, was the end of the fight ... Jango couldn't take the amount of injuries, thus falling face down ...
"I won ..." My body was full of wounds caused by the Jango chakram, confirming that Jango would not stand up anymore, I allowed myself to look at Zoro ... He too had finished his fight, he was all bloody just like me, but he remained worthy ... On the ground there were the two brothers ... Then I looked towards Kuro ... Vein looked like they would burst from his face ... His claws were no longer pointing to the sky. .. He was extremely nervous ... Behind him was Kaya and Usopp, who lay on top of her, passed out ...
Looking towards Nami, I see her approaching me.
"It's okay Kotarou ... Now it's up to Luffy, you can rest now ..." Looking at Nami, I noticed that she was injured in some places, a big cut was on her left arm ...
Taking my hand to his injured arm and looking at him, I couldn't help feeling sad ...
"I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you ..." I felt a sensation of pain ... Before I can comment on anything else, I feel something approaching me ...
"Your fight is with me Klahador ..." An outstretched arm connected with the air beside me ... Not air ... Looking right was Kuro ... Who flew with to the wall with the punch of Luffy.
"You guys stagnated my Plan ... A plan that took three years ..." Luffy's fight will be even worse than what happened in Anime ... Kuro is very pissed off ... I felt my body lose his strength, and he fell, but before connecting to the ground he was caught by Nami
"You did well, now rest ..." I felt I had my head on something very comfortable. As Nami says, now it's up to Luffy. I could certainly close my eyes and dance ... But I forced myself to keep my eyes open, all to register the fight between Luffy and Kuro ...
"I'm Chronicler ... How can I not register this fight? ..." And so, Luffy's most difficult fight so far, started.
Chapter 17: The end of war. Going Merry and Usopp Join.
Zoro vs The Nyaban Brothers (Buff)
It was a complicated fight. Zoro was very strong, but the brothers were stronger because they were hypnotized. Whenever Zoro attacked, the older brother went to the defense, and while Zoro was busy, the other attacked with his absurd speed ... Zoro could hardly defend himself from his brother's speed, which resulted in several injuries to Zoro's body.
The big brother was also not just a defense, whenever Zoro showed an opening, the big brother's attack that was enough to split a small hill would go towards Zoro. This ended up complicating Zoro's fight ... But who is Zoro? ... He wasn't called a pirate hunter for anything, his fighting experience was great, his attacks were still strong ... The big brother at few were worn out, his wounds getting worse ...
This was a battle of resistance, and the one who won was Zoro ... The big brother could not endure Zoro's attacks, being the first to fall, and the speed brother went right away ... If it's about speed, Zoro too can be fast ... Cutting ...
===========================
Usopp Pirates vs 3 Black Cat Pirates (Buff)
The pirates were in search of Kaya, the Usopp pirates were in search of defending her. 3 children and a liar ... But the liar is ingenious, as soon as Usopp managed to meet Kaya and the children, knowing the local terrain better, he attracted the three pirates to his trap ... The same one who threw oil on the place.
The pirate who carried a mattress, another a sword and the last a pistol. Usopp with his pepper bullet, hit the gunslinger's face, making him fall into the trap. Beneath it were the 3 boys, who put an end to the pirate ...
The swordsman was running to attack Usopp, but he was caught by the rope on the ground, falling like that. Usopp did not miss the opportunity and kicking the sword of the swordsman, the notacautado soon after.
The pirate of the matertelo did not lose his opportunity, and threw his ax towards Usopp, which hit him in the belly ... The pirate started to brag and go towards Kaya ... But what Usopp has to lie he has of resistance ... With a bullet that expelled oil first, and then one of phosphorus, it was enough to put the man on fire, thus taking combat ...
===========================
Nami vs Pirates Black Cat
To wake Luffy, Nami had to go through the pirates, and as much as they were hurt, there were many. With her staff she managed to hit several blows, but they were pirates, playing dirty was without her blood.
Gathering with the others, they attacked her one at a time, sometimes two or more. Nami was in a complicated situation, she was cut ... So to get out of this situation, she had to wake Luffy ... She hurt herself purposefully, thus cutting off her arm and going towards Luffy.
In the end Luffy defeated them all, out of anger at hurting his mate ... Nami didn't really care, showed his tongue to them and invaded his ship to steal their treasures.
=========================== Luffy vs Kuro
The fight between them was bad. Kuro was very angry, using his speed he never stopped attacking Luffy, Luffy won many snitches because of that. But Luffy is not someone to underestimate himself, he got used to Kuro's speed quickly, thus managing to land his punches on him.
One was very good, a spinning punch that threw Kuro at the wall, thus breaking it.
Kuro responded with his technique of harvesting death ... An attack that makes him use his speed to the maximum to the point of not controlling it ...
The problem was that the Nami, Kotarou and Zoro, were in their range, along with the pirates Blak Cat. Usopp had backed away with Kaya and the children.
Luffy to defeat Kuro before he reached his allies, used a thoughtful attack on the spot ... Stretching his arms and then turned, and started down the hill. Kuro's speed was uncontrollable and the hill was closed, so Luffy's attack hit Kuro, causing his technique to fail. But Kuro's attack had also hit Luffy's chest, injuring him.
Luffy then held Kuro to not use this technique again. And with a head attack he knocked him out. Thus winning the fight, but with several injuries.
===========================
Kotarou POV.
I've been recording Luffy and Kuro's fight, my intention was to get his movement technique, it would be very useful if I managed to use it.
When Kuro used death spoon, I was worried, I know I could register, even if I couldn't see at the moment, if I looked at the record calmly, I would be able to locate him and learn his movements. But at that moment, what worried me was that we were in the range of his attack ...
I had risen from the ground, my injuries were worse than Nami and Zoro's ... I thought Zoro had been hurt a lot, but that was not the case, it seems that most of the blood was not his ... Zoro brutal ...
Somehow, using my record, I managed to see where Kuro's next attack would be, coencidentally it was on Nami. So to protect her, I ended up covering her with my body, thus suffering the attack with Kuro's claws.
"KOTAROU ..." Nami shouted, she was worried, the wound was bad, but it could be endured, she wouldn't be a man if she didn't protect her now.
"Do not worry, I'm fine." I tell Nami as I lifted myself off the floor. Despite the fact that my leg was shaking and almost fell to the floor.
"Come on Luffy, you need to finish this fight soon." Zoro seemed to be concerned, he was already preparing his swords, ready to enter the fight.
Kuro's next attacks were not on us, but on the Black Cat pirates ... Luffy at least thought fast enough, using a different way from the anime ... He looked like a blayblade ... But we won, Kuro's defeat marked the end of that war. Luffy threw Kuro's body at the Black Cat pirates, and then they ran away ...
Seeing that the fight was over, and that I registered it completely, I was finally able to rest ...
"Kotarou." I felt a soft hand hold me ...
"I'm fine, just tired." I leaned on Nami ...
"You smell so good Nami ..." All I saw afterwards was the blue sky and Nami away from me.
"Hentai ..." Everyone ...
What did I do? ... My face was tight. What I could have done, her scent was very good, I only noticed it when she held me ...
"Thanks, guys. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to protect the village." After the embarrassment of the situation is over, I hear Usopp say.
"What is this talk, huh? If I hadn't risked your life, I wouldn't even be moving now." I hear Zoro say, changing my view for him, I can see that he was supporting himself.
"I agree."
"Me neither."
"Oh, people. Never mind, what matters is that I have my beloved treasure." Nami reads the mood, for the love ... At least it seems that she is no longer bothered by what I did.
I didn't register Usopp's next words, sleep ended up knocking me out ... Do I snore while I sleep? ...
===========================
A few days later.
After the fight, should I say that I slept for a whole day? ... When I woke up it was already morning, which was strange, I remember it was in the morning when I slept ... Anyway, I was already fully recovered.
Did I already say that the recovery of the people in the One Piece world is supernatural? ... Zoro, Luffy and Nami were already healed the next day when I woke up, I was shocked by that. In addition, I was also particularly well. And 2 days later I was completely healed, 100% ready for the next fight ...
Now we were eating at Meshi restaurant ...
"Is everyone full? It's time to set foot in the sand." Zoro asks us ... It was time, we are completely recovered.
Before we can leave, Kaya shows up at the restaurant, and explains her health status ... She was in bad shape, not because of an illness, but because of the pressure to lose her parents. Usopp helped her to overcome this, she was already particularly well. Usopp was lucky with her, huh ... I can see that she feels something more for Usopp than friendship.
Kaya told us that she had a gift to give us. Then we followed her to the beach.
And for the first time I see Going Merry ... She is too beautiful ... I think I'm in love ... I feel my eyes fill with tears ...
"Finally we will have a comfortable place to sleep ... And also a bathroom ... Kayaaaaaaaa, I love Yuuuuuu ..." If I could hug her, but Nami was holding me by the collar ...
"Haha, Kotarou-San, you are so much fun ..." I felt a cold look, from the butler who was next to her that froze my soul ... Cof Cof ... Rule # 3 ... Never say that loves an Ojou-San, even if it's a joke, you don't want to go through this.
Usopp came to save my skin, rolling down the hill with his luggage ...
Usopp-Samaaaa ...
Cof Cof ... The butler then started explaining to Luffy ... Seriously ... To Luffy ... As he navigates with the Ship, Nami interrupts him, and says that he should talk to her about it. ...
"This ship is so cool. And that head in the bow is really cool." Luffy comments when looking at the Bow. I completely agreed, it was really beautiful.
"If Going Merry had a gender. Do you think it would be male or female Luffy?" I ask curiously, I know that in One Piece the ship has spirits, in the anime it was represented as the spirit of a girl ...
"I think it would be a girl." I nodded in agreement with Luffy's statement.
I remember Going Merry's sad death scene, I swear I will try to prevent that from happening again. I rest my hand on his hull while I have such thoughts.
"And the ship is already loaded to leave whenever they want." Kaya-Sama is a goddess ... I feel a cold look on my back, but looking around I find nothing ... Is this island assimilated?
I hear Luffy confusing the saying, and Zoro correcting him ... After we board the ship, I see Usopp and Kaya talking. I couldn't help but have a pout watching such an intimate scene between them.
A pinch at the waist was enough for me to withdraw my attention from him ...
"You can't stay a second without hurting me, Nami." Serious pinch it hurts ...
"You had unpleasant looks, you deserved it ..." Really, did it look that bad? ...
"I'll let this one go." It's not like I'm going to fight back for anything Nami does to me, I'm too soft for that.
"And you take care of yourself too. Until next time." I hear Usopp say from under the ship.
"Because ?" Luffy answers him.
"Huh?. Why? You didn't understand anything, did you? I'm going to be a pirate too, and maybe we'll crash into the sea one of these days." Usopp, Usopp, there's no point in denying it, I can see in your eyes the desire to join this crew. You are a brother, we are the same.
"Stop the small talk. Get up soon." Zoro ... Because his acceptance with Usopp seemed so natural, while mine was so meh ? ... I look at him full of resentment, he seemed to feel it, but he didn't understand the reason, so he seemed even more confused .
"You are already our companion, aren't you?" Luffy said to Usopp as he leaned against Merry's railing.
"Yes, you are already a brother to me, we have a lot in common." I say with a smile, while my resentment against Zoro has subsided a little.
"Captain. I am the Captain." I swore he was going to cry right now.
"Call. The captain here is me." Dude, I love this crew.
We went up the sails and went to the sea.
"A toast to the new ship and the new companion." Shouts Luffy with his mug in the air.
"KANPAI." I LOVE MY NEW FAMILY. Thanks for everything mom, I'm fine, living healthy and happy, with my friends and brothers.
