Cat Burglar, Explain and Beginning Town.

Zoro and i got patched up by the village doctor, I don't know his name, I never ask. The island is in festive mood right now, with decade of being ruled with iron claw, all of pent up desire to have fun and celebrating life is free out in the open. First night of the party Ussop piled up a stage to sing of his greatness to all, honestly he deserved it, he managed to defeat a Fishman pirate by himself. Even I don't defeat anyone in this fight, only manage to reduce the damage of the crew.

Second day of Arlong defeat, the villager still in party moods, there is foods everywhere, Luffy is going crazy with all these food available, he just past by me with full hands of meat on bone and asking Sanji for more foods. Sanji is also in festive moods as all of village girls is joining the party, and with his level of gentleman no girl will be without a man. Zoro started to nap as soon no one bothered him, he need the naps to rest his body, I mean he got slashed by Mihawk, why even he be out here, he need to rest inside.

I spotted a girl and a boy sitting in the corner, Nojiko and the little boy from Gosa village. She's been teasing that boy and the boy is not happy at all, I without invitation sat next to Nojiko and eat the foods I've been carrying. I has been looking a place to eat, and who can argues the best place to eat is next to beautiful women.

" I hope you don't mind I've sat myself here, I need some flower to enjoys my meals. " I said to Nojiko.

She's surprised that I suddenly sat next to her, but she quickly calm make a jab at my comments " there is no flower here, only a strong orange tree. "

" Well orange is good for desert, so sitting next to orange tree while eating is also a blessing. " I said back.

" You and your words, is all girls already heard this sweet talk? " She's asked not expecting I jab at her reply.

" Well only the one that suite my fancy, and if you don't believe me ask Nami, I never sweet talk her, not that she not pretty, just outside of my fancy. " I answer truthfully. even if Nojiko is only three years older than Nami, but her slight tan skin is in strike zone.

" I'm sure you're telling the truth, but I'm sorry, my taste is more older than you. " said Nojiko.

" If you must know I'm 25, how much older do you prefer? don't tell me it is Genzo? " I said.

" Well that in a secret." she said while wink at me. I know that she only said that to softly told that she is not interested to do whatever is I'm try to do, well point is taken.

" Thank you, thanks for all of your effort in free this island. " Nojiko said with cute smile.

" Well all of that should be said to the captain, I'm only a crew following order. " I said while try to store mental image of her cute smile.

" Well if you not distracting Arlong while I'm saving your captain, maybe Arlong already killed me, so for that I thank you. " she add more.

" If you put it that way, I thank you for saving my captain then saving me from Arlong in process" I thank her back. if she does not save Luffy back then I think I maybe already be visiting my father in afterlife.

After my time with Nojiko I try to rest in the clinic, even with doctor patch I still need rest for my body to heals, as I resting I heard Nami getting new tattoo to replace her old one, but I just sleep and make no noise, so she don't charge me for unreasonable thing.

Few Days Later.

Today is the day we start to sail again, all crewmembers except Nami is one the ships, we wait for Nami to join us and begin to sail away from this island. The villager is crowding the port to send us away, or send Nami away, the duo bounty hunter is staying here, they said they will resume their jobs and got stronger to meet us someday. I saw Nojiko is talking with Genzo, in few day we here I tried several times to woo Nojiko, but the guard is strong nothing is happening between us.

Nami finally came, she shouting for us to set sail, Luffy approving her order we started to low the sail to it pickup wind. I goes back at the rear of the ship when I finished lowering the sail, Nojiko catch my eyes and she give a flying kiss at my general direction, Sanji take that as his kiss and try to catch it, Nojiko then throw something at me. Nami then jumped on the ship and revealed that she already swap all of the villager wallet and says her goodbye to all of her village.

As we sail bit far from the island, the excitement cooled a little, Zoro as usual start to snoring under the shade, Sanji goes into the kitchen probably to fix some grubs, Luffy and Ussop is fooling around on the front deck, Nami is still looking at her home island probably still thinking of how this could be last one before a long time for her to came back again. I sitting at the crow nest, the thing that Nojiko throw is a paper with a note in it, I wait till I'm alone to read it.

" The one that resurrect you is me. " with a heart next to it. goddammit.

The Next Day

It's morning and today is the day I resume my training, in this past two fight prove that I need more core strength for me to make more powerful armor, just relying in my devil fruit power is a fools way. I started to do core strength training In the morning, and some weight training at lunch. In down time I sneaking into crow nest to listen some music, the boredom of sailing is one thing that they never show you on the manga, but I'm sure in Grandline crazy whether there'll be lest down time for me to laze around.

Evening come and I want to train my mastery on my power, first I create a normal gauntlet, then a large gauntlet and lastly the full arms impact gauntlet. this is a second time I create an impact gauntlet, this time the energy consume is not as severe as the first one, maybe because I already know how impact gauntlet feels and work. This time I try to change the design of the gauntlet to see if the design make any different on the energy consume, a change the normal full arms impact gauntlet to a black dragon styled Impact gauntle, this design is flashy an attract attention but the function is still the same.

" What! how you do that! " Ussop seeing me changing the gauntlet for the first time make him surprise. Luffy who heard Ussop asking what is he so surprised about.

I show Luffy what I do, and he is also surprised and told me how cool the armor is. Now I think about it I never told them that I eat the devil fruit, so I asked Ussop to call all the crewmates to told them all together about my power. Zoro and Sanji is mad that I take their precious time but I felt better if all of them hears it, if somehow I fall into the oceans they know that I cannot swim anymore.

" Well you sees I need to tell you this, if somehow I fall into the oceans please help me as I cannot swim anymore. " I said to all them.

" Wait don't you know how to swim?, you saved Zoro when he fall after the duel with Mihawk. " Ussop said confuse.

" well this is why. " I said while making gauntlet at my hands changing design several times.

" Do you eat one of those devil fruit like Luffy " Zoro asked interested.

" Yeah, it the Armor Devil Fruit, give the wielder the power of making any armor he design. " I said to answer Zoro question.

" So that how you suddenly have big gauntlet when you're fighting pearls. But is your power to make armor what about that technique you use on Arlong ? " ask Sanji.

" Well I design an armor that exist in place far away, in their gauntlet they put somekind of device that can absorb force and store it, the I can release it again to whatever I want to. " I answer Sanji.

Sanji then jump try to kick me but I block with my impact gauntlet and showing him that his kicking force is completely absorb as I don't event move a step back blocking his kick, then I show them what happen I release the impact at a barrel, the barrel exploded like it being smashed by a large hammer.

" See, this is power of impact glove. " I said while bowing to the audience.

" Wow!, can you give me the gauntlet ! " Luffy said with his sparkling eye.

" If I had that gauntlet, my fighting power will increase much high, can you create one for me? " said Ussop who sees the use of this gauntlet.

" Unfortunately I cannot give it to someone else, as soon as this armor get off me they disappear like a smoke. " I showed the what happen when I take of this gauntlet, the gauntlet when off like a smoke bomb and disappear.

""What? that's lame, boo.."" both Ussop and Luffy disappointed at my answer and lost interest in my abilities.

I told them what I wanted to and send them away, they quickly resume what they're doing before. Now I already make clear that I cannot swim anymore, make me reliefs if I unexpectedly fall into the water knowing probably someone will save me. I also resume my training on mastering my power until night.

Next day

This world seems to working with different law of physics, I only started training for three day and all of my body already felt stronger. There is no muscle pain that I always get when your overworking yourself, more stronger the exercise more strength will be added to your body, no wonder Zoro doing all those crazy lifting. This morning as always I do my routine with high intensity, the high intensity help with my stamina and recovery, just as I finish my last set I surprised by the crew shocked yell.

Luffy is officially a pirate with bounty, the wanted poster seems to fall down from newspaper that Nami buy just now. Starting bounty of 30 million for East Blue is high considering Arlong from Grandline only had a bounty of 20 million. Luffy is elated at his newfound infamy while Ussop riding his fame because of back of his head in Luffy bounty picture, Nami is upset at fact we had a bounty before reaching Grandline and urges us to supply and directly sail to Grandline.

We finally come to port on Lougetown , place where Gold Roger born and died supposedly. Lougetown is a big busy town, people go here and there doing something, remind me of a modern city. We split up doing what we want, Luffy is set on seeing the execution platform so I follow him, maybe I can spot anyone that I recognized there. Certain chicken head supposed to be there to bare witness Luffy's heaven decree, and since the head of revolutionary is here maybe his chief of staff also here too.

Luffy comes to stop when we arrived on the central plaza where the execution platform is, he seems to wondering about something in deep thought, I don't want to bother him so I browse the shop near the plaza. There is many shop available on this plaza but the one that catch my attention is a shop selling a Snail phone, thinking it might be useful to have some form of communication when we separated I want to buy a couple of them, but with my meager wealth I can buy one adult snail and two baby snail.

Luffy somehow found himself on the top of the execution platform, then commotion start to happen as one beautiful lady assault a police officer, Alvida is looking quite good losing all that weight, if she's not annoying about her beauty i will probably rank higher in my list. I just watched what happens as I know nothing will harmed Luffy, then I spotted a certain green haired chicken whose just enjoying the chaos that is happening , I walked closer to him and started a conversation with him.

" Crazy afternoon right ? " I said while standing next to him.

" Who are you huh, these people making noises on my turf is asking for a beatdown " said the green haired local mafia.

" Well I'm one of crewmates of that strawhat guy. name is Hikaru." I said.

" Oi!, so you're one of them huh!, if they don't stop make noises the white smoke will come and disturb my business, go tell them to stop or I personally stop them huh. " warned the local mafia.

As I chatting with this local mafia, Luffy is now pinned by one of Buggy's men. I saw Zoro ant the others in the distance shocking at Luffy predictamen , Buggy now make himself known by flashily announce Luffy's flashy execution for the crime of angering Buggy the clown. Zoro and Sanji started to try saving Luffy while Nami and Ussop going toward the port, as this happens Luffy announce himself as the one who will become the next pirate king. Next to me the local mafia is amazed at Luffy boldness to claiming to be pirate king at Gold Rogers execution platform, with Luffy trapped and his demise is set is hard to see his future of became the next pirate king but Luffy smile of accepting death is sight to see.

Then as heaven decree, lighting hit the execution platform as Buggy swing down his blade, Luffy is now free from harm and execution. Rain started to fall I bid farewells to the green haired chicken mafia, I gave him my newly snail number and started to run toward the port, while running toward the crowd I saw a top hat gentleman that I for sure thought will not be here as seeing Luffy's near death experience surely trigger his memory. I don't have any time to spare, so I just slip my number on his pocket hoping he will contact me someday.
