"Foolish and idiotic pirates. Do you still have the audacity to attack Going Merry, knowing that it is captained by the invincible Captain Usopp?" I was on the coast, but I knew that Usopp was coming for me.
"Fight, and start the arduous battle." Usopp screams, so that was my cue.
"Zehahahahahahaha. Usopp the fool, you are just a nobody .. Invincible? You are just a mediocre pirate ... I the Great Pirate Kotarou, I will claim Going Merry as mine." I turn to look at Usopp, he was using a wooden sword ... As for me, to emphasize the joke, I used a black cloak and an eye patch, in my right eye, I was also equipped with a sword.
"Do you challenge me to a fight? ... You fool, Morra." Usopp then attacks me ...
Yes ... we were kidding ... Don't judge me ... On a ship with nothing to do, without internet, I have to find something to do ... Zoro sleeps all day, Nami only looks at maps, Luffy from time to time he plays too ... This is life at Going Merry ...
"You were strong ... But I am inevitable ... I recognize you as a real pirate ... I will let you live, but I will take Going Merry as mine. Zehahahahahahahaha." Usopp was defeated, I was sitting on his back ...
"You get too heavy on the joke, Kotarou ... But it was fun." Well, it was, it's fun to play with Usopp, besides it's not just a game, while fighting with Usopp is a mini workout, for me and for him.
"IS READY." I hear Luffy screaming and raising a flag to the sky ...
"Look, guys. Our pirate flag is ready. With Usopp and Merry we are now 5 and a ship. It was time to have our jolly roger." My god ... Is that a jolly roger? ... Even I can do something better than that Luffy ...
"But is this our pirate flag?" Changing my vision to Zoro, I see that he is fine ... Afraid? ... He is sweating a lot ...
"That's right." Luffy did not seem to understand that his drawing is ridiculous.
"As far as I know, a Jolly Roger is a symbol of death and terror." Zoro is getting worse ...
"Luffy, this is awful ..." I couldn't help saying ...
"This flag is rated 10 in the terrible aspect, but it is what we have for today, right?." You can't accept that Nami, we are going to be laughing. I see that Zoro also looks at Nami with despair.
"Nich Nich. You were just talking to me before. Did you happen to forget that you have a brilliant painter here?" Usopp finally makes his appearance ... Really, Usopp is a genius guy ...
Then Usopp talks about being a painter for 50 years ... Usopp, are you an old man then? I think everyone had that opinion, and Usopp looked upset.
Usopp starts to paint Jolly Roger. First he paints a Jolly Roger with his face, which Luffy and Zoro respond with a punch to the head. Then he paints Jolly Roger from straw hats. Did I say that Usopp is great? It is very useful for making trinkets.
"Ohhhhh. It looks amazing Usopp." I couldn't help commenting after he finished drawing the flag.
"Yeah, it was really nice." Did Usopp want to be humble?
"Ah, stop. She looks great." That was Nami.
"Yeah, I like it. You look cute." So you know how to differentiate when it is beautiful or not? ...
"You mean this will be our pirate flag?" Zoro seemed to have something on his mind.
"Okay, paint it on the candle too, Usopp." Luffy, you didn't do anything, you know? ...
"Ruuuuuuuuu." Usopp, can you paint this yourself? ... Ah, fuck, I'll help him.
"I will give you a Usopp hand." I have nothing to do for now.
"Ohhhhh, Thanks Kotarou. Come on." Usopp looked really grateful ...
After that, we painted our candle with the Jolly Roger of the straw hats ... It was really beautiful ... The candle was black too ... Going Merry was complete.
Our next stop was the Treasure Island, where we met Gaimon and the bizarre animals that were on the island ... There was a chicken wolf ... And other types of animals, it was very weird ... Gaimon was a man in prison for 20 years in a chest, we couldn't even remove his chest, otherwise he could die ... He told us his story, it was very sad. Even more so when Luffy sought the treasures.
When Luffy said he wouldn't hand over the treasure, everyone was angry, even Zoro looked kind of like that. I can understand, they joined the crew a short time ago, no matter how much they go through struggles and battles, they still distrusted Luffy's personality, Nami distrusted pirates, Usopp joined the crew now. Zoro seemed to be getting used to it and better understanding who Luffy is, but he still was suspicious of actions like that, but it seems that he soon understood why Luffy did not hand over the treasure.
Well I? ... Luffy doesn't think before he speaks, so his sentence was uncomfortable for the ear, and you can misunderstand if you don't know who Luffy is. But I knew Luffy. Be in the anime and now in real life, and he was the same in both ... So I had my hands on my head, I was the most relaxed at that moment.
The events after that made the rest of the crew, especially Zoro, understand better about Luffy's character.
The next events were, Luffy trying to invite Gaimon to the crew, which he refused, and then we left the island for our next stop.
===========================
A few days after we left the treasure island, that's when I started my training to learn Kuro's technique. I spent the first days not only playing, I was spending that time organizing the records of previous fights, especially Kuro, when he used the death spoon. With my Akuma no Mi, I was able to record his movements at that moment, but to find out what movements he used, I had to spend a lot of time stopping and cutting. It was almost like editing a video.
"I FINALLY GOT IT." I couldn't help shouting loudly inside the ship. That's because today, I finally managed to complete the complete registration of Kuro's technique.
"Time to test." Each of the straw hats did something, so they paid no attention to me.
I arrived in the most open space of the Ship, and started to start the Kuro technique, my record working perfectly ... The technique was Okay, my speed really improved to absurd ... I managed to get to the other side of the ship, so fast that I didn't I thought it was possible ... I tested it a few more times and realized the limitation of what I was doing ...
"Ahhhh ... Ah ... What the shit ..." As much as I can make the same movements as Kuro, I am not Kuro ... My physique is inferior, my body is not used to such action. .. Using the technique for simple moments was enough to tire me out completely, the muscles used for this technique were very painful.
It reminds me of a sports anime I watched, Baby staps, a Tennis anime. The protagonist in a match, copied the opponent's movements, thus learning to serve properly ... The problem was that the coach stopped the fight because of this, he explained that his body was not prepared for that, and if he continued he could an injury occurs ...
I don't have that problem. My physique is one of One Piece, my recovery and body hardness are much better than in my previous world. But that memory showed me something. My body was not prepared to use this technique with total efficiency ... If I used it in a fight, it would hinder more than it would help ...
Well, my registration will help me with this, because of my Akuma no Mi, I know which muscles to work on, and what to do to prepare for this technique ... Time to prepare my training regime ...
"Hoooo. Come on." All this time that I was thinking, my body was lying, when I tried to get up, my aching legs made me fall face down to the floor ...
"Huu ... I have a lot to improve even ..." And that was the beginning of my training.
Chapter 19: Towards Baratie.
A few days later.
While resting from training, I heard a sound of something. Looking at where the sound came from, I see that it was Luffy dropping something heavy. Well, it's not in my interest for now.
At that moment Zoro was sleeping, I really wanted to ask again if he could train with me. When I asked him once, he refused. That's because Zoro is not motivated, he has just finished training with his master, and soon after he went out to explore the world and look for the greatest swordsman, Mihawk.
Zoro thinks he's already at that level, so I don't see him training as in the anime, he probably will only start doing that after realizing the difference between him and Mihawk. When that happens I will be there to train with him, it will be much better than asking him several times and annoying him.
About the training, I gained a lot from him. My speed is almost on par with Kuro's, and this is because my training consisted of improving my physique, making it more flexible, my body is adapting more and more with the One Piece world, even though the training is not for improve my strength, it was constantly improving.
Also, I need to get a new weapon, using knives to fight is not ideal. An enemy with a strong defense will be able to defend easily from them. Nor are they ideal for playing. In short, I have to change my whole form of struggle.
"Buummmmm." An exploding sound occurs, curious as it was, I stopped my training temporarily and went towards the staff.
"What happened ?." I ask as I see Luffy and Usopp near the cannon, Usopp getting ready to shoot.
"Did you stop with that stupid training?. Well they are testing the cannon, Luffy missed the shot, this time the one who will try is Usopp." I see Nami approaching me when she saw me coming.
"Hey, training is not bullshit, you will see, the next time we fight I will be much stronger." I say after pouting. They are underestimating the power of training.
The sound of exploding stone sounds through the ship.
"... Usopp is really good with these things, isn't he." I speak to Nami, Usopp really was good at things like that, it is not for less that he is recognized as the sniper of the group.
Zoro had also woken up by the noise. After everyone calmed down about what happened, we went up to the deck, I accompanied them, since rest is also part of the training.
"Kotarou, why do you keep doing those movements every day?. Are you wanting to learn to dance?." Luffy asks me while we rested on the deck. He was scratching his nose ... This is very weird ...
"No, Luffy, this is a training I am doing. If we go to the Grand Line, I have to be prepared, I am very weak even here in East Blue, which is known as the weakest of the 4 oceans, I almost can't defeat the people here . " Here's the truth, if I faced Kuro, Buggy, or someone with a great defense, like the big brother that Zoro faced, I would have lost to them.
"4 oceans?." Luffy, Usopp and Zoro looked curious.
"These are the oceans that exist before the Grand Line, they are peaceful unlike hers. They are called North Blue, South Blue, East Blue and West Blue." It was not me who answered this, but Nami. I think it's normal for her to recognize the 4 oceans, not everyone knows about them, but as a navigator she is almost obliged to know about them.
"Ohhhh." Luffy and Usopp looked delighted. Zoro, on the other hand, seemed to have remembered about them.
"So, I've been thinking here with me and before we go to the Grand Line, we need a person on the crew." Luffy started talking, I already know who we need.
"It's true. The ship has such a well-equipped kitchen. If you pay me, I'll even cook." Can Nami cook? ... I couldn't help thinking of her with an apron cooking ... I think Nami felt something, since she looked at me with a poisonous look.
"It's nice to have a cook for a long trip." That was Zoro ... I think that after he meets Sanji he will regret saying that.
"I already know what we need for the Ship." Yes Luffy ... What we need is a ...
"From a musician." Luffy and I talk at the same time.
"You are idiots ?." That was Zoro "What do you think is sailing?." Nami ... How do you expect us to travel without a musician? They are essential.
"And I thought I was going to give you an idea that I could do." But we gave ...
"I even expected this from Luffy, but from you Kotarou? ..." Usopp ...
"But a musician is so cool ... When we are bored, he cheers us up, a musician can even dance ... He is essential for a ship ..." I try to justify myself.
"Yes, yes, pirates are always singing." Luffy is also on my side, I knew you understood me.
Before we can continue the conversation, I hear the sound of things being broken outside the cabin.
"Where are you pirates ?." I hear someone screaming outside. Worse still, I hear the sound of Merry being broken. It made my face palate.
I run with Luffy out of the cabin.
"Hey Hey, who do you think you are to destroy Merry?." Scream outside the cabin.
"Shut up. It doesn't matter who I am." He yells back and attacks Merry, destroying another piece of her. It pisses me off a lot.
"You fool." My face burned with rage, and then with my new speed, I end up sending the guy flying with a kick in the belly.
"Ghaaaaa." I hear him scream and spit blood, and then hit his body on the other side of the ship. Destroying Merry a little more.
He soon gets up, even with his mouth bleeding he speaks.
"Okay, buddy. I've lost count of how many pirates I've killed. And nobody like you tried to kill my guy." He attacks me again, but I owed it easily, and he ended up hitting his sword on Merry's floor.
My anger was already at the limit, with my speed, I appeared in his back and kicked him there, sending him face to face with another Merry wall.
"You idiot, you're going to fix Merry." My anger was already at the limit, I just didn't use my knives on this idiot, because Zoro knew him.
"Hey, You. You are Jhonny, aren't you?." Zoro appears from outside the cabin.
And then they start to cover, because of my bad mood, I left the place, and went to get some wood to fix Merry.
When I came back to the place, carrying the wood, I see that someone else's body is in place. Nami then descends from the deck and says that in the past this disease of the sea was deadly but that today, everyone knows that this is caused by a lack of vitamin C. Luffy and Usopp then start to express lemon in the man's mouth, which makes him better , and start to dance, soon the guy faints again, putting him in one of the rooms we went back to the cabin. It was already dark at that time.
"Are you in a bad mood Kotarou?." Asks Nami approaching me.
"Yes, they destroyed our ship ..." I was really mad at that fact.
"Sorry. I'll fix it, I promise you that." Jhonny bows to me, it makes my mood improve a little.
"Okay ... I'll forgive you for destroying Merry." Since he apologized, he had no reason to continue with this matter.
"May this be a lesson." Nami comments, that was for everyone.
"Yes. That kind of thing could very well happen on a long trip." Zoro is correct ...
"This kind of thing can happen, even more because we have little space to store food during the trip." You are also right Usopp.
"A musician is important, but the cook is also ... He knows how to share the food and what is necessary for the trip ..." I tell everyone, although I really want a musician, I understand the need for a cook.
"Yes, we need someone to take care of the kitchen." Nami complemented my speech.
"Kitchen ... Yes, let's go after a sea cook." Luffy screams and gets up from the chair to emphasize his speech.
"That's right. There are going to be a lot of nice things for us to eat all the time." It is a good Usopp point.
"That's right." I know what you're thinking Luffy ... You are going to invade the fridge all night.
"If you are looking for a Chief, I know where you can find one." Jhonny begins to explain to us, about a ship that is a kitchen, he was close to the Grand Line. And since we are going to meet Sanji, this trip is certainly worth it.
"And they say that the guy you're looking for," Falcão Eyes ", walks around that place." This caught everyone's attention, including me. That's where Zoro will face Mihawk.
"You just have to head northeast." This encouraged everyone, since everyone was smiling ... But for now we should rest, right?
Chapter 20: Jealous
The next morning, there it was ... The floating restaurant ... Baratie.
"Ohhhhhhh." Me, Luffy and Usopp were drooling, thinking about what kinds of food we could eat there.
"Cool, huh." Jhonny looked proud, as if the restaurant was his.
Then a ship sounded, sounded beside us. Turning to look, I realized it was a navy ship. Jhonny and Yosaku, who looked amazingly well, went into hiding, probably not to be confused as pirates.
The Captain of the Ship soon appears, introducing himself as a Lieutenant of the Navy, called Full-Body. Honestly, I didn't care what he had to say, I just walked away and prepared myself in case a battle happened.
After what seemed like a conversation, between Luffy, Usopp and Full Body. Full Body ended up despising Jhonny and Yosaku. This caused Jhonny to show all the pirate posters they captured.
On the posters I got to see Arlong's wanted poster. Nami saw it too ... She approached the poster and took it in her hand, and started to knead it, she was shaking a lot. I know Nami's background, and since she hates Arlong, I knew what she was going through, so I couldn't help but worry about her.
"Are you okay Nami?." I approach her slowly, and place my hand on her shoulders.
"Haha, it's okay, Kotarou, don't worry." When I got close to her, she hid the poster, so she couldn't see who it was, she seemed to be having trouble controlling her emotions, since her eyes were red, almost on the verge of crying and she was clenching her teeth, very angry.
"Nami, if you have any problems, you know you can count on us. And if you can't count on everyone, know that with me you can, I will always be willing to help you, that's fine." My heart ached seeing her actions and her sadness. But I still gave a reassuring smile, and I stroked his head a little and walked away. I could see her shaking a little and get away from the place, I didn't go after her, she needed that moment to be alone.
Full Body left the ship, boarding a small ship towards Baratie.
A cannon sounded, I realized that the navy ship had attacked our ship, Luffy thought quickly and holding on to the ship, he used his body to prevent the cannon ball from hitting the ship, but the force was too great, causing one of Merry's pieces would break, thus changing the direction of the cannonball to Baratia.
I don't understand why the navy ship didn't attack us again, it just left after that attack, so we didn't go after it either, Luffy had bigger problems now.
Everyone but Luffy stayed on the ship, Luffy went to Baratie taken by the cooks. Nami after a while, left the cabin, she was better, she looked normal. But the problem is that she was ignoring me, whenever she spoke to her or approached me, she would stray to talk to someone else, or move away from me ... I was ignored several times by her, but this time it was different .. ...
While we waited for Luffy, brothers Jhonny and Yosaku, were fixing up Merry.
"Luffy is taking so long." Usopp and Nami were standing in front of the ship, waiting for Luffy.
"How long have we been waiting, it seems like almost a month .." Of course it hasn't been that long, at most an hour or two.
"It's all the navy's fault, there is no reason why Luffy takes the blame." Nami acted normally, but I knew she was not completely well.
"True Nami. Do you want to go to Baratia?. ' I ask everyone, especially for Nami, who ignores me, but Usopp saved her.
"Come on, I'm tired of waiting on the Ship." You really are everyone's savior, aren't you Usopp?
I remember that at that time Zeff was trying to hire Luffy to be a waiter ... Thinking about Zeff, can he use that power known as Haki? He managed to make Luffy feel pain by stepping on his leg ... Could it be the same power that Luffy's grandfather used?
Anyway, when I, Nami, Usopp and Zoro arrived at the baratie, he was already in a mess ... Sanji was holding Full Body by the neck, after Full Body says he will destroy the restaurant, Sanji says it would be better to kill him the cooks stop Sanji ... Zeff and Luffy fall off the roof, Zeff scolds Sanji and kicks Full Body ...
A sailor arrives, and says that one of Don Krieg's pirates has fled. The sailor is shot to death, and the pirate, whose name is Gin, if I'm not mistaken, asks for food, which one of the cooks refuses and throws him away. Yeah ... It was all the events of Anime ...
Anyway, as soon as the mess ended, we sat at the table, and ordered the food ... Usopp and I were already drooling ...
"The smell is great, isn't it?." I couldn't help commenting.
"Yes, it's getting more and more hungry." Usopp is really a brother. Nami still ignores me, and Zoro doesn't care much, he prefers to drink.
I see Luffy coming down the stairs.
"Yo waiter." Nami catches Luffy's attention.
"What, are you still here?" There is no reason to be so shocked Luffy.
"They said that he will work here for a year." Can Usopp be malicious when he wants to?
"I'm going to remake our pirate flag, what do you think?" Zoro is even more malicious ...
"Maybe we should call it pirates without a captain now?." I couldn't help participating in the game.
"They expect me to get away, to ask for the best, is that it?. You disgusting." Luffy seemed extremely resentful ... You were unlucky, it was just to blame the navy, they were theirs.
"What is this, it was just a pinch, isn't it Usopp?." It looks like Zoro is having fun watching Luffy suffer.
I see Luffy remove a catota from his nose and put it in Zoro's glass. Luffy was really resentful of Zoro ... But it was funny to see Zoro forcing Luffy to drink the dirty water and then to see Luffy squirming on the floor ...
Me, Nami and Usopp were laughing and laughing. It was nice to see Nami happy again.
But then Sanji appears ... Carrying a flower and talking nonsense to Nami ...
"Mother of all seas, I am eternally grateful, for sending me this ethereal vision. Hello my love. Come on, beautiful lady, smile at me. I don't know if I will be able to endure such a vision." And a lot of nonsense that Sanji was talking about ... I didn't understand why I was so bitter seeing that ...
Zeff appears and starts talking to Sanji to come and become a pirate with us ... And then they start arguing, and Zeff throws sanji towards our table, we take the food off the table, before Sanji hits her. Well done to you ... I couldn't help but laugh at him ...
After Zeff left, Sanji set our table and handed Nami a fruit salad ...
Sanji gives us a glass of tea as compensation, while drinking ...
"Wow, thank you, you're so kind ..." I hear Nami say and see her with a smile ...
"Oh, hot, hot ... Fuck ..."
Without wanting to break the tea chicara ... Sanji and Usopp were fighting, and their attention was not on me ... Unlike Nami, who when I looked at her, she seemed to be laughing at me ... I could only turn my bitter face while picking up the pieces of glass ...
And then I see that Nami starts to "Seduce" Sanji ...
Ah ... I accidentally broke a dish ... What's going on? ...
Right after putting the glasses together, I see that Nami put her hand on Sanji's chin and Sanji had that passionate look ...
Another dish burst in my hand ...
"Hey, you already broke 3 things, is everything okay?." I hear Zoro asking me.
"Haha, it's okay I'm just clumsy. I'm going to go to the bathroom to clean up ..." I don't understand why I'm like this ... As soon as I got up, I saw Nami hug Sanji ... ... .
Ahhh ... I fell on the chair and broke it ...
"Are you sure you're okay? ..." Looking up, I see Zoro looking at me worried ...
"Haha ... I'm fine ... I swear, I swear ..." This time, I got up and went to the bathroom without even looking back ...
===========================
Four days passed, I still couldn't talk to Nami ... And whenever we went to lunch I felt irritated. But I was getting used to it ... I didn't understand why I was irritated when I went to the restaurant ... Whenever Sanji and Nami were mainly together ... But well, now I just got frowning ...
In those 4 days I had been training, hoping to be strong enough for when we faced, Don Krieg and Arlong.
Today it was cloudy ... I felt something would happen today ... The brothers have already fixed Merry, so they can be released, but they stayed on the ship for now ...
I felt that something was going to happen, and looking to the side, a huge ship appeared ... The ship was stamped with the flag of Don Krieg ... Even the fog disappeared when he arrived ...
Soon all the people ran out of the restaurant ship ...
"What happened inside the restaurant?." Usopp asked not to stay in particular.
"Just going there to find out." Zoro is right ... But Usopp was afraid.
"Come on Usopp, don't be afraid, we are with you." I say as I pat him on the shore.
"No ... I'm not afraid." Usopp tries to be brave.
"So let's go." I'm pushing Usopp to go walking ...
"Okay, Okay ... So stop pushing me."
Soon we arrived at Baratie, and saw Luffy ready to beat Don Krieg ...
"Are you going to beat Luffy?. Want a little hand?." Zoro asks, ready to take out his sword at any moment.
"If you can't take it, I'll face him for you Luffy." I say, I've been preparing to fight for a while. I don't know if I can stand against Krieg, not because he is strong, but because of his defense, I don't have attacks strong enough to break his defense.
"It looks easy to me too." Usopp tried to look brave, but he was completely shaking.
It's time to take on Don Krieg.
Chapter 21: Zoro's conviction. Let's save Nami.
"Zoro? Kotarou? Usopp ?. What are you doing there?." Luffy, who had his fists ready to fight, looks at us with doubt.
"You don't have to help, just watch." Well, I know he will be able to defeat Don Krieg, and to tell you the truth, I have nothing to gain from Krieg, he has no technique whatsoever, he just trusts his strength and his weapons.
"Okay, I understand, what a pity, I wanted to help. So if you need, just call. Good luck there, see.?" Usopp that would be true if you weren't shaking so much ...
Zoro eventually knocked Usopp off the ladder, and Usopp complained.
"Are these your men, boy?. Is that all you have? Rídiculo." I hear Krieg say.
"No, it's not just that. There's two more." Luffy points two fingers at Krieg. Tch ... Sanji is already included.
"Hey, you never heard the didactic. Quality better than quantity, any of our crew dispatches yours easily." I say with confidence in my voice. This is East Blue, if I were weak here, I would be weak forever.
Krieg looks at me with a murderous look, which I answer with the same, without fear. If you want to know why I am so different in this regard, than when I arrived in this world, it is because of the meeting with Luffy. That encounter made me have courage, my Akuma no Mi recorded it, and so to never have fear and cowardice embedded in me, this record is always active in me.
Krieg looks at Zeff and says that he will feed his men, and that he will take the ship, whoever is here will die. After Krieg left, Zeff told a part of Sanji's past, about how he experienced hunger and gave in.
The cooks say that they will stay and protect their ship, and Sanji plays badass ... Tch ... I don't like him ...
"See I didn't say that the guy was good?." Luffy comments ... I wanted to protest so much ... But Sanji is essential for the crew ...
Gin then starts talking about her experience on the Grand Line and how they found Mihawk ... Holy shit, the guy cut 50 ships one by one, with a sword ... I can't even cut a rock with a blade. ... and I can't forget about him cutting that iceberg that Aokiji made ... I have a lot to improve.
Looking at Zoro, I could see him trembling, perhaps because of his old age? I can see that he saw the difference between him and the Topo, he began to realize the vastness of the world ...
Zeff talks about how someone can destroy his crew on the mere whim of disturbing his sleep. Seriously ... Grand Line is absurd ... Luffy was shaking with excitement at that moment ... Me too ... I really want to record our adventure and the changes that we will make in the world.
Zoro talks about going to the Grand Line and meeting Mihawk ...
"Are you idiots?. I think you're the guy who chases death ..." I hear Sanji say.
"I even believe it, but I don't accept your insult. When I wanted to become the best spachim in the world, I decided to dedicate my life to it. Therefore, only I can speak ill or complain about this choice." Do you know when you have that shiver all over your body ?.
"Ah. I agree." I completely believe in you Luffy ... Your determination to become the king of the pirates is as great as Zoro's.
"When I joined the crew, I was already risking my life. Determination to risk your life is necessary to achieve your dreams ... Mine went from living, to seeing with my own eyes the vastness of the world and what change my crew could do." I say while leaning on the railing, my smile plastered on my face.
"A great sea warrior like me can only agree." Well ... You could have put more will into your Usopp words ...
"You know, Zoro ... I'm pretty sure you'll find Hawk Eyes sooner than you expect, didn't you hear Gin talk about him destroying their ship? ... It is very likely that he is chasing them ... "I couldn't help commenting on that ...
"..." He said nothing, but his eyes could make someone tremble. That was enough in response.
But then the Ship starts to shake completely.
"What happened." Everyone started to ask.
"Not that, Johnny and Yosaku are at Merry." Zoro screams and skips the grid.
"Come on Usopp." I run after Zoro pulling Usopp with me.
Arriving in front of the restaurant ship, we see the big pirate ship Krieg smashed ...
"Hey Hey ... Kotarou, were your words a curse? ..." Usopp was looking at me like I was guilty of something.
"Aniki ..." Before the conversation can continue, Johnny and Yosaku call out to Zoro.
"Are you okay?"
"What about the Ship?."
"And Nami, is she okay?." Zoro, Luffy and I asked one after the other.
"She ... Sorry, little brother. She left ... No. Little sister Nami ... She is running away with all the treasure ..." The brothers say one after another ...
"What ?." Yes, even I was shocked ... I knew that, but I still hoped that my presence would have made her ask for our help.
"How is it?. How come Nami ran away at Going Merry?."
"Explain this story better to us, come on ..."
Luffy, Zoro and Usopp were crazy ...
"Easy, let them breathe first." I hold the three, before they kill the brothers ...
Johnny and Yosaku, after taking a deep breath, started to explain ... Cof, in the middle of the explanation I may have almost thrown the brothers back into the sea ... (Nami "seduced" the two ... ...)
"That missile took advantage of us ..." Zoro was annoyed, even punched the wall.
"That ship was a gift from Kaya ..." Usopp, the gift was for us, why do you act as if the Ship were yours? ...
"Wait, I can still see Going Merry. Johnny, Yosaku, where's your ship at?" Luffy says ... He really has a good view ... I can only see when I register and zoom ...
"Zoro, Kotarou, Usopp are going after her now. Reach Nami with their boat." Luffy gives his orders.
"Forget it, let her keep the boat. There's no need to go after that woman." I couldn't help feeling a pain in my heart now.
"Listen, if she is not our navigator, then it will not work." Luffy and Zoro start to face each other ...
"Okay, I get it ..." I'm really relieved about that ...
"You know, Nami was weird after seeing someone's wanted poster ... If I'm not mistaken it was from Arlong ... We traveled with her for a while, do you think she would do something like that for no reason?" I say as I look at the three ... I know what will happen, but even taking this knowledge away, after so many days of living together, I know that Nami is not the type of person who does this without a reason .. .
"Okay ... What a stubborn crew ..." Haha, you will thank me for this Zoro, otherwise you won't have the money to buy your precious swords.
"Usopp, Kotarou, come on." My smile widened, come on ...
"Luffy, are you coming?." No ... he still has to convince someone to join the crew.
"So be careful here, because the situation there is no joke." This fight will be really difficult ... I would stay to help, but I am worried about Nami, and mainly I have nothing to gain by registering the Krieg pirates.
Before we could leave a tense atmosphere and screaming voices spread through the air. Looking to the side, I see a small ship with a single person on it.
"Mihawk, Hawk Eyes ..." Those words came out of my mouth alone. My heart was racing at that moment ...
"You dirty mouth ..." Usopp whispered that.
Mihawk wears the same outfit that I remember from the anime, a Spanish outfit style ... Should I say that I admired his look? ... He is very elegant ...
I look at Zoro, I see that he is very tense ... Then he will face Mihawk ...
As Zoro walks towards Mihawk, I see one of Krieg's pirates shooting at Mihawk ... He defended himself easily ... Almost as if he could see the future ...
The fight between Zoro and Mihawk was chilling to the bone ... I remember ... I remember everything about this fight ... Before I even started watching One Piece, I admired this fight every time ... I remember watching a video with her ... Zoro's conviction. Mihawk's acceptance ... Everything was incredible ... Seeing it in reality was even more absurd ... My Akuma no Mi recording everything, recording every little piece ... Not only of Mihawk, but also of Zoro ...
"Incredible ..." I say as I look at Zoro defeated beside me. Usopp and the brothers giving medicine to Zoro.
"What are you doing, help us here." Usopp screams angrily at me.
"Zoro is alive. MIhawk accepted his belief." I speak to Usopp, just after finishing, Zoro takes his sword and raises it into the air.
"TRY TO OVERCOME ME, RORONOA ZORO." I hear Mihawk's scream, my emotion, adrenaline everything, continued to run down my body, sweat formed on my forehead, my smile plastered on my face. I squeezed a piece of the boat so hard that it started to scrape the wood ...
It is. This is what I want to achieve ... Not only to live, but to be recognized ...
"Luffy, do you hear me? ... I'm sorry for making you so worried. It's just that if I'm not the best swordsman in the world, will this be a problem for you?. ... I will never again ... I will be defeated again ... Until I defeat him and be the best in the world ... I will never again ... I will be defeated ... Yeah a promise ... All right, CAPTAIN? ... "... Holy shit Zoro ... So even I feel like shouting my motivations ... But this one it's your moment ...
"Kotarou ... That training ... I will accept ..." I hear Zoro say, before I can answer he passes out ...
"Haha, right." My animation didn't end, I got even more excited ...
Before you can defeat the Mihawk, I will defeat you Zoro.
As if Mihawk sensed something, he stared at me, something I faced directly ... The pressure was tremendous, but I didn't hesitate ...
After a few seconds, I can see a smile on Mihawk's face, something I answer with my own. Don Krieg then tries to attack Mihawk, but he disappears.
Was that Soru? ...
"Luffy, Me, Zoro and Kotarou, let's find Nami and bring her back. You stay and convince the cook. And then, the six of us are going to travel again, okay?. Towards the Grand Line." Usopp throws Luffy's hat ... It seems that I was not the only one who learned from the encounter, Usopp was also excited.
"Towards the Grand Line." I couldn't help shouting next to Usopp too.
"Yeah, we're going." With a big smile on my face, I see Luffy scream ...
Let's save Nami.
Author's Note.
Hello people. Author here. Third complete arc, I'm sorry for not having any fight in that arc, but it was necessary. Mc had nothing to gain by staying in Baratie. The only thing to gain there was to register the fight between Zoro and Mihawk.
