Zzzzz…
Zzzzz…
Zzzzz…
"—we still can't trust him yet. Judging from what he did is Sabaody, he'll probably betray us in the upcoming battle. He's a chicken, Kid! We can't let someone weak like him travel with us…" Oh? Isn't this the voice of Killer? Who was his voice actor again..? Ahhhh… I remember… Kenji Hamada… but I still feel sleepy… so I'll just take another quick nap…
Zzzzz…
Zzzzz…
Zzzzz…
Wait… I'm practically forgetting something here… I should that was it is…
Hey… Isn't Ace's execution today? Wait, I'm supposed to be in Sabaody watching it… Hey, didn't I meet Kid? Wait a minute…
"That fucking bastard…" I said loudly even though my eyes are still closed. Cool isn't it? The first thing you say when you wake up is some bullshit. But I hope the person I was talking about heard it. He deserves some bad mouthing for what he did to me. – 10 points on admiration. Sadists always lose
"Oi, get the fuck up or I'll throw you out 10,000 meters underwater…" I groaned and shifted from my position while ignoring the stupid idiot. Well, he was not worth my sleep… anymore… I'll just find another bad-ass OP character to have my admiration…
Lolz jk, I was kidding. I just want to sleep.
"Killer, give me that…" then heavy footsteps was heard coming towards me that made me a bit worried. It stopped right beside me that made my worry into terror.
"Eeekkk..!" I jumped out of the floor I was sleeping in and stared at Kid with terror filled teary eyes. I knew it, he would throw something on me. He was holding an opened beer bottle that gave off an ominous aura. Kid smirked at my over reaction and bent down to level with my terrified face
"Oh..? You would wake up if someone throws water in your sleep? What a loser…" I glared at him
"Shut up! Why did you bring me here?! I know we are headed in Merman Island!" his smirk widened and looked at Killer with a mocking face
"See, Killer? The kid knows where we are headed. He said it right? He was a messenger of some Bloody God…" I sweat dropped and sighed.
Even though Kid is a morbid sadist… he can still think stupidly
"…" killer stood there motionless without giving a response nor even acknowledge my existence. Killer! Y U SO TSUN?!
"Che! Fine, if he proves himself unfitting in 3 days then I'll throw him out the ship!" Killer sighed then nodded. He left the room leaving both Kid and me.
"Sooooo… you can just ditch me in Merman Island. It's not like I want to join you or anything…" I stated out that made him frown
"You're joining me and it's final. You better not think of escaping or I'll cut your fingers off one by one. Do. You. Get. Me?" I huffed and looked away telling him that I was not listening. He seemed to get annoyed and pull my hair roughly making me gasp in surprise. I gripped on his hand that was holding my hair and glared at him with murderous intent
"Let go or I'll turn you bald…" he smirked at my sudden change of attitude and let go of my hair
"So you can make that kind of face, huh? At least you could scare away some low scumbags…" then he left me inside the room alone with boredom on my face and no evident interest.
It's decided, I'll just go and escape this ship later on when we land on Merman Island. Since Camie is there, she would lend me a hand or give me a small boat to travel in the New World. It would be a great help if she does…
"Ahhhh damn… what kind of trouble did I get into? I was just about to prepare for my single party travel… I guess it can't be helped…" I stood and dusted my knees. I can't fight Kid directly now, I'm still too weak. I can't just rush my Devil Fruit Ability like that…
Speaking of ability… I should go check them all out now… I'll have to since it will change my battle outcome. I'll also make combo's for skills and get more items. It would be goo—
*GROOOAAAN*
My stomach growled that made me sweat in humiliation. If I'm planning on an escape without repaying them for feeding me right now, it would rip off the pride I have about respecting nice people. Damn, this is not good. Argh, damn you stomach. You betrayed me and my plans!
"I guess I'll just have to stick with them until I fully repay their generousity…" yep, I should do that. Then I'll have to do chores and help them restocking until I am sure that I already done everything I can. Ok, that would sound like a good plan. I should do that… and I should eat now…
I exited the room to see the outside of the ship. Wow, underwater is quite a good sight to see but the sea creatures looks too terrifying in the deep sea. But I can't do anything about it since I'm not some god
"Oh, you came out. Welcome to the crew anyway…" who was this again? Heat was it? He was the one who does a Flamethrower like a bad ass. Totally in the top 20 characters that I like
"Yup, but anyways, where is the kitchen? I seriously need to eat or I'll become a cannibal…" he looked at me suspiciously but then walked to somewhere else. I was guessing he was leading me to the kitchen so I followed him. Hopefully, he did lead me to the kitchen that made me happy. I walked in and opened the fridge with no hesitation. It was filled with lots of goodies like fish, meat, veggies and pastas… Pasta? Oh yeah! Killer likes to eat pasta. It was ridiculous that he eats it through the holes on his mask but then I realized that it was bad ass and no one can take it away from him.
"Hmmm~ I think I should eat vegetables today because it's hard to digest. Should I eat it raw or something? If it's raw, it might get some attention for my stomach…" then I started to pick out the carrots and ate it. When I finished it and felt it was not enough, I took another one and continued chewing it.
Damn, my hunger can't be controlled…
"Chewing off some carrots, huh? What are you? A rabbit? Ridiculous…" well, as you can see, the one who talked was Kid. He was trying to mock me but I was too hungry to answer him back.
So hungry… Oh! Let me try this!
"Oi what the— Holy shit! What the hell are you eating?!" I looked at him questioningly but he just looked at me with weirded and disgusted eyes. I said 'what' but it was muffled. He just stared at me together with Heat.
"You should check what you are eating…" Heat stated that made me look down on the food on my mouth. The some food in the ref was 100% fresh. I mean it, fresh and alive. Guess what I'm eating?
"Nmmfff! Fuu ung Mfff!" I tried to say 'But mini octopus tastes good!' but it was muffled because of the moving squid who was trying to escape from my mouth to save it's poor life.
"Who the hell would eat a living squid you fucking retard?!" Kid exclaimed that made me chew the whole squid and swallow
"What's wrong with that?! And besides, it your fault that I am hungry! You punched my stomach and made me sleep! Also, it was delicious!" I bickered at him and was about to start a 'word' war but Killer suddenly came bursting from the door.
"Kid! We have arrived in the Merman Island… We just paid for the entrance and now we are currently entering the Island." Hearing that, I wiped my mouth and passed through the tall people and looked at outside with awe
"Waaaaah! So getting kidnapped has advantages too huh? This is great! I can get to meet Camie in here!" then the ship proceeded to enter the island and docked in the sandy part of it. Before anyone could tell me to do anything, I jumped to the sand and laid there with eyes closed as if I was sunbathing. They started yelling at something and scrambled out which I don't practically care. I'm just gonna lie here for awhile and take a little nap…
"Zzzzz— Umfff!" someone threw something hard at my face making me look all over to catch the suspect. Killer was there beside me blocking the sun with his arm-crossed pose. I looked at him confusedly
"Get useful and do something useful. If you do anything weird I'm carving your eyes out." He said with a deadpan voice that made me sweat drop at his cold treatment
"Ok, I'll do nothing stupid. But at least let me go to my friend and shop some clothes. You guys just kidnapped me out of nowhere so I have nothing with me." He just stayed in that position and then sighed
"For what else did I give that money for? Make sure not to over buy anything because I'm not giving you any anymore. Go and scram. Don't show your face for awhile…" I just seated the looking up at him
"…what now?" I just looked at the sack and then back at him with a smile
"Killer is such a nice person. But don't worry, I'll pay you back once I get money…" I stood up and started walking somewhere without minding the sand I have in my back
"If you escape, I'll chop off your feet!" I chuckled and started running. I just realized something from some Kid pirates. Some would greet you coldly but is actually caring. They are the Tsundere type. Though I must say that it was a bit of unexpected
"Hmmm~ Camie might be at the Mermaid Café working. I wish Madam Shirley won't mind my sudden visit though…" I found myself walking at the bricked streets with all the Mermen and Mermaids looking at my way.
Due to the race of the Mermen, we humans discriminated them. Some treated them like fish while others would only look at them as trash… What kind of racist we are…
"Ummm, excuse me…" I asked the nearby fishman politely that made him jump back and get all nervous
"Y-yes?! W-what is it?" I smiled at him kindly
"May I know where the Mermaid Café is? I have a friend of mine that works in there. Would you kindly point it out for me? Cause I'm a little lost…" he laughed nervously and pointed at the next building
"— turn left and you'll get there…" I smiled and waved my goodbye to him as I walk where he instructed me to. Right now, I have a soft spot for mermans that makes me want to be nice to them. And besides, I'll also act a bit shy since it's my first time seeing one. Isn't that great?!
"… ahhh, I'm already here." I looked up at the building with a big door. I was about to knock but someone already opened it for me from inside. It was the café's owner, Madam Shirley. Seriously, from all the mermaids shown in this arc, she's the 2 nd one to get in my beauty list. But only this arc.
"Yo! May I talk to Camie~san?" her eyes looked at me as if it was trying to pierce through my soul. We both stared at each other for awhile until Camie saw me and jumped in glee
"Hermes?! It's you!" she hurriedly came over and took my hand with hers
"Yup! Anyway, Camie~san. Can you be my guide to buy some clothes? I'm seriously needing one right now because I somehow forgotten to pack up…" she looked at Madam Shirley and was responded by a nod from her
"Yay~! Let's go shopping!" she pulled me out excitedly while I look at Madam Shirley who was looking back at me.
'She somehow wants to say something…'
"Hermes~ What are you getting slow for? Let's buy you clothes!" then she pulled me while rushing towards the town with people looking at us.
'I guess I should just let it be… But still, I think she want to tell me…'
"Offff!" I fell on the ground with my face on the floor. I slowly stood and rubbed my stinging face
"Seriously, Camie~san… You don't have to be that excited…" she apologized and giggled all over. We both looked for a store to start the shopping trip. I do hope there won't be anything troublesome happening
