|Strange Thing for a Normal Day|

Today was a typical normal day. The clear weather which is perfect for hanging your laundry, the peaceful atmosphere which you can take a sip of your tea and relax, not to mention about the breeze of the wind that carry the scent of the sea.

Well, should I count the attention of a certain Red Headed man who was sitting at the other side of the field. It was annoying really, the only thing that kept me from throwing the basket filled with our harvests is Luffy who had been eyeing the carrots next to me.

"Luffy, no means no! If you keep on eating all the time you might get unhealthy! And also, the Mayor will get mad if you continued eating those tomatoes..." he pouted with his mouth filled with the fruit he had been eating. I sighed and pinched his cheek and hear all the protests he was making. What a tiring job I have here...

"Oh, we should head back now since lunch is already nearing. You should go first Luffy, I'll just take these baskets back to the storage. Don't forget to bring Paulo with you okay?" he nodded and then ran off without saying good bye. Goodness gracious, food is really his favorite huh?

"Now then, mind if you tell me what has been bothering you, Shanks... Benn..." the man who was listening up on the tree jumped down and waited for his childish captain to come.

"Chaos, we have something interesting found when one of our men came back from their mission..." I looked at him with a confused face. Why would they tell me about something that I shouldn't be involved of? Or maybe it does have something that is related to me.

"Oh? Why would you wait for Luffy to leave just to tell me? Is it something important for a child to know?" I jested, I really like trying to annoy Benn. Remember, trying.

"Well, if it's a kid with weird powers then I think this will be important." Oh, so they really did notice.

"Tch, then care to elaborate?"

"Cha~os~!" the crazy red head suddenly jumped and gave me a hug similar to a bear attacking a human. I almost screeched, good thing that I didn't since I don't want to be made fun with the other one here.

"What in the name of Heavens are you thinking?! B-Benn— g-get him off of me!" the man chuckled and let the scene continue without budging on his spot. Jerk.

"Nee~ nee~! We found something interesting chaos! I think you will like it when you see it!" yes, yes, I understand so please refrain yourself from rubbing your face on mine.

"Okay! I get it so please get off of me! Your beard is itchy!" he whined and never even bothered to let go of me.

"Anyway! Off we go!" I grabbed the man's black coat and braced myself as he ran towards the docks where their sub ship was.

"Shanks, I think it's better if I carry him for now." Yes please! Hurry up before I vomit!

"Eeeeeh..! Whyyyyy?" just give me already you old man.

"Either I smack you with my pipe or give me to him, it's up to you to chose." He instantly shoved me to his second in command when he saw the sweet little smile I gave him. It was probably because it terrified Shanks. At least now I know how to keep him from doing anything stupid.

"Now, mind to tell me what this important item is that you guys want to show me? It better be something amazing or I swear I'll cut both of your hair bald." My threat didn't work but I didn't say it seriously anyway. Benn carried me on his arms as they make their way inside a room where a round table with the other of his men were.

"Oui! What took you so long?" Yassop waved his arm to us with the other hand holding a mug of sake.

"Has our little flower arrived?" who is Lucky Roo talking about?

"It's seems everything is all set, now should we go set sail?" hmmm, I don't really understand— wait a second. Did they just say Set Sail?

"Hold your horses! Did you two just baited me with treasure?!" I looked at Shanks who was whistling acting like he has nothing to do with this then at Benn who was smirking a lot.

"It worked didn't it?" it seems that I did fall in a trap.

"Oh don't worry Chaos! We will just be borrowing you for awhile! Dahahahahahaha!" today... is too strange to be a normal one...

"Is it really alright to leave Captain back in the island?" I huffed and then let my pipe produce larger bubbles.

"I understand that he is your captain but what I don't understand is why he let a child board a pirate ship. He even fooled me with treasure!" Lucky Roo laughed and munched on his meat.

"Well, I don't think you will get fooled easily..." I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"I was not tricked. He annoyed me to death which forced me to stick with him. But before I kill him multiple times inside my mind, tell me why would you people in the right mind bring me with your sail. Is there something I can do in particular?" Benn sat next to me while giving me a piece of rolled paper.

"And this is?" I rolled it up to see a bounty of a man who was named Haruko was seen. Behind it were scribbles of this era's language which I do understand but too smudgy to see. But what surprised me the most was the second half of the scribbles. It was symbols that I knew too well. I refused to speak of them, the people here should not hear of it.

"That person has retrieved a treasure that was rumored to be cursed in the island. The moment he made contact with this item, he suddenly started acting weird to the point that he had completely consumed to insanity. He had killed some of his comrades and ate them off..." I breathed off a heavy sigh, having some vision from my past life about a great war I had parted in.

"So what do you expect a child will do? Make friends with a crazy maniac?"

"No... it's not the child that we want to bring with. It's the Magus that he keeps on muttering about..." I knew it, he already noticed. But I doubt that he knows about it though... since everything from the old times have already ceased in people's memories.

"I see. Of course... As expected from you. But do you even know what kind of person you are dealing with?" the man's look was directed to the poster which I am turning into an Origami.

"You mean Haruko? We have been comrades since then. Even if he is possessed by some demon I doubt he will hurt us..." the voice was unsure which made me look down at the sea with pity.

"I am not talking about the pirate... I am talking about the one inside him. The thing that has taken over his body is definitely not your comrade. Magus or not, do you really think I can stop the entity that has escaped its original vessel?"

"That thing knows no pain. Severe his feet, sever his arms, he still has a mouth to eat. If I appear in front of him... do you really think that he can't eat me? Do you still think that a Magus like me can return your friend back to his senses?!" anger just appeared out of nowhere, but I couldn't help it since some unwanted memories were accompanied with it.

"No one could help him..." this time, Lucky Roo was the one to speak "... he has gone to many exorcists, churches, and many other people. But no one could help. Until one day, one of his crewmates told us that he shouted some words saying that no one understood what the Magus said. We were confused at first, but then we met you in the Windmill..." I see, so that's the reason why they stayed.

"... what a strange happenings for such a normal day..." I said dropping the serious atmosphere around me.

"Indeed, what a strange normal day it is."
