[Normal]
Every now and then, some of the crew would steal glances at Valor who was sitting on the railing silently figuring things out. He can't bring himself to blame them, after all, he made a really weird scene back then…
'I can't believe it! There's also a otaku in this world! WTF OMFG! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!'
'If this continues… The world will dissolve from the imbalancement!'
It was stupid of him, why did he say that?! How would they understand their situation when they don't even know he's someone who doesn't belong to this world? They will certainly think he was insane… Hey… wait a minute… he IS already insane…
"Oi~ Valor!" Nuts called out to his junior making the person look at him
"Oh, Nuts~sempai… What's up?" he said with a small tired sigh making his sempai worry. Nuts sat apart from him and looked at the sea where the teen is looking at
"Hmmm~ Nothing really… But it seems you are less active today… which is really unusual… Mind telling me..?" Valor just stayed silent making Nuts sigh
"I knew it… You have a problem right? C'mon! Tell yar ol' sempai what the problem!" Nuts bugged him making Valor sweat drop. He looked down at the crystal clear ocean water and sighed
"Nuts~sempai… have you ever experience death..?" well, THAT question got him off-guarded. He was now looking at the teen with confusion written all over his face
"… I… I actually met death many times before… In the time I was young… when I was still where I considered to be 'home'… and now… I don't seem to meet it again… instead, he's going to look for others. That idiot… giving up on me easily…" he made a broken up smile and looked at Nuts
"Nuts~sempai… will you please remember this..?" Nuts slowly nodded at the teen
"Don't cry or regret your death… Just smile! 'Cuz I heard, death smiles at people he takes with him… So be the man and smile back at him… Ok?" he didn't really understand what he was saying. Why, of all the words to be chosen, he said that to a person who barely understands the situation? Valor knew he was complicated. But he has a valid reason now. And that is: 'Blame my Intelligence stats' or so….
"GHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously kid! You're such a weirdo!" he ruffled the teen's hair harshly making him whine.
"… don't worry kid, I understand what you are pointing at. You're pretty unique you know! You'd make a good advisor in the near future…" Valor chuckled and finally smiled happily
"Oh see? You're smile is really beautiful… So don't bother hiding it…" I nodded and jumped to the ground with a huff
"OKAY!" he shouted and raised his arms making the whole crew look at him, including Kidd and Killer
"I'm not really sure what is happening to me or my mind but I'll try my best on trying to solve it!" he grinned widely that made Nuts smile
"Good! Now let's go do something… I'm bored!"
*GROWL*
"Aaaaand I'm starving…" Nuts laughed and patted his head
"Then let's eat first!"
*BOOM!*
The ship shook from the explosion making Valor imbalanced and fall on the ground. Nuts quickly pulled Valor up and took out his wrench
"ENEMY ATTACK ON THE MAIN SHIP!" one of the crew shouted. They both heard clashing sounds and hurriedly went towards the battle. Valor kicked the very forst enemy who attacked him while Nuts made a wrench boomerang.
"That's...! Jewelry Bonney!" Valor easily determined the pink haired mainden who was already in her child form laughing
"Hahaha! Bakatass~ Wanna have a little fight~?" Bonney jumped in the ship making Valor jump back
"Jewelry Bonney! Aren't you supposed to be captured by the Marines?!" she looked at Valor with a surprised face then grinned
"Ohohoho~! We got an interesting lad out here! I wonder how you knew about it though~" she made a front flip towards Valor making him jump back to give distance
"You can't fool me! I already know the basics of your devil fruit! Even though I don't know how you use it to others, if I keep my distance, then I'll be okay…" Bonney got more and more interested in the lad. Not only had he known about her getting captured by the Marines, he also knew some about her devil fruit! She knows the best that she never saw him before…
"Hnn~? Interesting, interesting… How about joining my crew and become my vice-captain. I'm pretty sure you'll become a good one!" she jokingly said with a mischievous smile making Kidd explode from anger
"That's it! REPEL!" she dodged all the weapons being sent to her and got extremely near to Kidd that surprised all of us
"Shi—! KIDD GET AWAY!" I ran towards them but I was too late. She touched Kidd's chest and made him turn into a small little kid.
"Damn! I'm too late!" He took out his symphony dagger and threw it towards her
"SOUND REPEL!" he unconsciously said and made the dagger move faster. The wind pressure around the dagger turned grey like it was breaking the sound barrier that almost hit Bonney. Instantly, she dodged the incoming dagger. She got goose bumps and looked at her back to see the dagger making a turn and scratched her elbow.
"You—!" she couldn't hear anything even her voice that terrified her. She clasped her ears and looked at the glaring teen with fear
"EVERYONE! RETREAT! We… we can't defeat him!" hearing her warning that they all never imagined for her to do, they all ran back to their ship together with their panicking captain. Heat shot 2 cannons that hit some parts of the ship as they make their great escape. They all looked at Valor who was holding the babified Kidd
"Damn… Look what your stubbornness can do! She completely turned you into an infant and I can't even get mad! You're so cute~~~!" he squealed and hugged the baby gently
"Oi, Valor, can you explain what you just did?" Valor looked at Killer with a big smile on his face
"Oh? Bonney turned Kidd into a bab—"
"Not that… why did she run away when you injured her? She looked really scared." He just sighed and made a little swaying movement to make the chibi Kidd calm down
"I don't really but I think it was from my intelligence. Normally, I would check things out before using but I unconsciously activated one of my skills. Theoretically speaking, my symphony dagger released some vibrations that neutralized the sound waves and made 'complete silence' barrier. The reason why she was scared was because of the sudden contact to sounds. Actually, if she knew that it was temporary, she would've defeated me. But it seems that she's still a girl who knows how to get scared…" Killer nodded at my explanation and looked at Kidd
"Ahhh… this… Actually, Bonney's devil fruit ability can affect a person's age. She can turn you into an old geezer or a babbu like Kidd~ Kyaaa~! So cuuuutttteeee~!" he lovingly smooched Kidd's head making the baby giggle. Killer sweat dropped and sighed
"How can he return back to normal? We can't just set sail with our captain looking like that…" he made a thinking gesture
"I heard that you can return people back to normal when the caster dies or get's unconscious… which means that we have to go after Bonney." He looked back at the baby and made weird faces making Kidd laugh and touch the face
"I see… but we can't track her that easily… I'll look for a way. In the meantime, you take care of Kidd. You seemed to be fund of babies…" he left while Valor was entertaining the baby Kidd.
"Kyaaa~! Babbu Kiddsy is sooo cute~! Too bad you'll grow up into a grumpy Kidd!" Kidd just kept on giggling while he grasped Valor's chin. It was happy and merry but was disrupted by Nuts
"Oi, Vailor…" he looked at him questioningly while babbu Kidd is pulling his hair
"Hmmm?"
"You threw the knife… like how I throw my wrench…"
"Ahhh that, I just did it in reflex…" Nuts sighed and was about to ruffle his hair but was stopped by Kidd who was crying
"Awww~ Shhh~ It's okay wittle babbu~ I'm here~" Valor comforted while his sempai was sweat dropping
'That's monopoly!' he thought but then withdrawn to the kitchen
