After the party welcoming Ussop into their group, which Harry had a feeling it will be a occurring theme in the future, he then take a tour of the ship. The ship clearly well-made and been taken with care. The kitchen is fully stock with food, although judging Luffy, Zoro and Ussop appetite, it will last them a few days instead a week. Oh well, they're still growing boys. If the food empty before they reach the town, he still have his food stock. Harry adds a strengthen spell at the steering and make a shelf from the crates to store the ration and put a preservation spell on it. Satisfied with the result, he move on to other room. It takes him an hour to complete the tours. He keeps casting the strengthen spell on item he knew the boys (Luffy) will accidently broke it. He did end up repairing the water drawing machine under the stair when Luffy broke it. They argue a bit about the hammock when Harry decides to change it. They finally agree when Harry change it into the hanging beds. All in all, it a very satisfying tour.
After being with at Death and minions for the whole year, Harry can simply sense when Death appear at his side. Death presence feel like a mute feeling, a peaceful and somber feeling before it burst into whatever personality Death and minions appear.
Death appears behind him, while he was preparing drinks and food for the group. Zoro, Nami and Ussop is painting their flag with newly create Jolly Roger with straw hat and Luffy... last he see him, he going to the storage room. He takes a glance at Death before stop and turns around and stares at Death.
"What's with that smile? And who he is?" Death always appears in different form, but this is the first time he appears with military appearance. "Don't tell me is Napoleon," he said deadpan
"What's wrong with my smile, dear Harry? And no it's not Napoleon. His name Frederick, first ruler of Prussia. Such a dear man, sacrifice his change to rebirth for the sake of his country soul existence," Death said wistfully.
"Ooookayyy then, I am going to pretend to understand that. Still... that smile look like a cat got canary. You're too happy," this time he waving his arm with knife at Death.
"You want to know, Harry?"
"No. Knowing you, there will be some plan for me to agree for THAT," he refuses to say it. Death looks at him before chuckle. He rise from the chair and walk toward the door and watch the kids outside.
"How are you feeling, Harry? Feeling anything weird lately?,"
"If by weird mean getting high because of you? Then yes. I'm going to beat you next time. When my hand free,"
"Honestly, I'm quite curious about that. Anything other than that?,"
"No, why? Something wrong with my body? Wait don't answer that,"
"Hmm... maybe it's still early," Harry give Death a suspicious glare "Never mind about that, well then Harry, I've got to go now, nice meeting you. Don't worry next time I'm going to make you agree to become my master," Death said while getting close to him and purring at him. Harry almost cast a spell and yell a curse at Death when a sound of cannon distract him. When he looks back, Death already gone, so does a portion of the food. He only rolls his eyes at Death antics before going out to find what the hell happen.
After the shenanigans that is Luffy and Ussop, all of them head back to the kitchen for lunch. Harry half listening their chatter while he plans a shooting lesson for Ussop in his mind. Turns out, Ussop really skill with shooting and Luffy decide for him to become a sharpshooter in their crew. Harry knows Ussop use a slingshot during the fight with Black Cat Pirate and how dangerous his ammunition, but he feels better if Ussop know how to handle more than a slingshot.
"We need a musician," Harry blinks and look at Luffy confuse.
"Idiot!,"
"I thought you going to say something wise!"
"What do you think of our journey?!"
"We're pirate! As a pirate we need to sing!,"
"Ahh... I think we need a chef," at Harry word, the four of them turn to look at him in confusion.
"Why? You cook well enough Harry," said Nami breaking the confusion.
"True, but not good enough. We need someone good enough to keep up with all of you. Beside...," Harry stay silent and look at them sheepishly before continue "I've some trouble with cooking. It's fine now for a time being, but who knows later...," Harry shrug his shoulder. He saw Luffy look at him and Ussop open his mouth to question him further when someone yell and trashing something at the deck. Luffy and Zoro quickly rush out leaving the three of them. Harry shrugs and starts cleaning the table. He raises his eyebrows at the occupant who huddle and mumble about something. At the sound of something crashing the wall, Usopp stand up and ran out yelling at Luffy and Zoro about damaging the ship. Nami blinks at the sudden missing partner huff before following Ussop out. Harry only snort at them.
Children's, I've end up with overdramatic children's
Just like you, once upon a time~~
Shut up Death
Apparently their ship invader used to be Zoro partner in Bounty Hunter business. Harry look at them unimpressed as they dancing around before one of them, fall down and coughing up blood.
"Your friends is an idiot,"
"Ahhh... they're,"
"You're supposed to defend them," Zoro only shrug his shoulder. Harry sigh, he will never understand Zoro, then again he also had trouble understand Teddy. Maybe it's the hair thing. Both of them had green hair (well, sometime depending on Teddy mood) and both of them stubborn to fault. A joyful cheer brought him out and look at Luffy and Ussop. "What happen?,"
"Johnny going to take us to Baratie,"
"Ahh... Restaurant on the Sea, where the entire employee are either ruffians or criminals. I've heard the owner was a former pirate,"
"Yup, you're right about that Hari aniki," Johnny said, Harry kicks his shin and watch him yelp and jump around them. "Wh... what did I say?,"
"It's Harry, Harry and aniki sound too weird, so how long it takes to get there?,"
"About two or three days Hari an... errr Harry," Harry nod.
"Two or three days are enough to get down some basic," Harry mutter before turn and look at Ussop "Come Ussop, we got so much training to do,"
"Wa... wait what? What training and when did I agree with you?!," Harry only smirk at him and Ussop can't help but shiver he turn around asking for Luffy help only to found him look at him solemn eyes. Even Zoro.
"I wish you good luck," both of them said while patting his shoulder. Before he could answer back, Harry grab by his back shirt and drag him, he look at Harry face and let out a very unmanly shriek.
Three days later
Harry humm while tending some of his herb plants at the deck behind the kitchen before pause and giving a small pat at the floor deck. Faintly, he can hear the ship croon happily. Harry chuckles before continue his work. This is something he didn't tell the others. Its voice still weak like a baby but Harry feel confident that it will become stronger during their journey. He sigh wistfully, suddenly remember the Hogwarts. They never thought the Hogwarts was sentient; then again it had been stand for four hundred years it was possible. But Going Merry isn't Hogwarts, there isn't magic here just a spirit of a very, very happy and eager little ship
"Hhhhaaaarrrryyyyy," Harry turns to his left and let out a laugh at Luff who crawled toward him with his puppy eyes of doom.
"No,"
"But, but Harryyyyyy, I'm hungry, I need fooooddd," Luffy start imitate a flopping fish on deck causing him to laugh again. After been stunned and tickles every time he tries to steal food, Luffy finally learn to ask Harry every time he hungry. It took him only two day.
"Hhmmm, I guess it's almost elevensie, okay then," Luffy cheer even though he didn't know what elevensies is. Harry stand up before he heard another zombie like groan. He looks at the stair and shook his head. Look like Ussop also becoming a crawler and join Luffy. "Okay, okay, I'm going to fix some food for you guys," both boys jump up and runs around chanting "food, food," Harry only chuckle at their antics.
"Zoro aniki!"
"Luffy aniki,"
"Nami aniki,"
"Harry!,"
"Ussop!,"
"We're arrived!," an excited shout from Johnny and Yosaku have Luffy and Ussop running forward with Harry follow behind them. Harry walk behind them in sedate pace, he watch with amuse as Johnny and Yosaku spread their arms to show the restaurant that look like a huge fish. Harry let them talk among themselves while he turns to his right and sigh.
"Heads up, Marines," all of them look at the incoming ship. Harry slowly feel a headache coming. They watch as a man whom Harry assumes a Captain appears.
"That's quite an ugly suit, he should kill himself just for that," Harry mutter, unfortunately Nami heard that and slap his arm. Harry only grin back at her. Harry watches the interaction silently and how both Bounty Hunters had been beaten senseless. Yup definitely a headache coming. Suddenly, a dark and heavy feeling appear causing Harry to look at Nami. The shadow that surrounding Nami had become a thick and sludge like smoke that almost consume her. Harry had to blinks his eyes couples of time before it disappear but the feeling is still there. And it breaks his heart because he can't help her unless she asks. He looks at the paper scatter on the deck. Wanted poster, most of them are pirate, it safe to assume whoever hurt her is a pirate. Probably not from this Blues.
"Shit! Those Marine are trying to shot us down!," yell Ussop in panic. Before one of them move, the cannon already fire causing them to freeze in terror. Harry quickly pulls out his wand but Luffy quickly jump on the railing.
"Gomu Gomu no FUUSEN!," his body suddenly inflate like balloon and deflected the bomb. Ussop, Johnny and Yosaku scream in shock meanwhile Harry and Zoro...
"WHERE THE FUCKING HELL YOU DEFLECT THE BOMB!," yell both of them at the same time. All of them watch in horror at the roof of Baratie explode.
The headache comes in full blast along with Death choking laughter.
Harry slowly drink his tea while watch with amusement at Johnny and Yosaku. Both of them tried very hard not to throw up the potion that he shoves down earlier for their injuries. After the incident, Luffy under Harry and Zoro stern order had flung himself toward the restaurant to apologize while he drag these two into kitchen and treat their injuries.
"Feeling better now?," ask Harry while putting the cup down. Both of them nodded frantically, refusing to speak. "Good, let's go out," said Harry, picking up the tray of sandwich and head out toward the rest of the crew.
"Food!," cried Ussop happily and quickly grab a few of the sandwich and run off.
"Has Luffy come back yet?," Harry hand the food at Nami and Zoro.
"Not yet, I wonder what take so long. Thanks Harry," Nami said while Zoro nod at him.
"Luffy probably had to work a year or two to paid off the damage,"
"Hah! See even Harry agree with me,"
"Nobody say you're wrong Ussop,"
"Hmm... maybe I should go check him, Ussop there's more at the kitchen," Harry watch Ussop run back to kitchen and look at Nami "Watch the ship Nami,"
"Heyy! Why did you ask her not me?," complaint Ussop.
"She's more sensible than you, Zoro will fall asleep and those two still trying not to die on me," Nami nod agree with him. Harry only smirk at Ussop before apparate at the Baratie restaurant.
Harry sometimes wonder if his sickness in past life causing him to see this new life in fun way. Because right now, it's not supposed to be funny but to him it is. Then again, the said Lieutenant Fullbody is a douchebag, seeing he being beat by a scrawny teenager is funny as hell. Of course it becomes less funny when the ceiling broke and Luffy and what seem to be the owner of Baratie fall down. Harry slap his face and sigh, somehow it didn't surprise him that Luffy manage to make the situation worse. He lean at the door as the Owner beat up both the scrawny Chef and Lieutenant Fullbody. A sound of footsteps running along with a harsh breath causing him to become alert, he doesn't have to wait long for an injured Marine appears at the door.
"Sir! Lieutenant Fullbody sir! T... the prisoner had escape from our ship!," Harry frown at that, judging by the panic whoever that prisoner must be dangerous. "Krieg's Combat Commander has escape! The seven of us unable to subdue him!," or not. Harry watch as the customer began to panic before his dash ahead and grab the Marine with him.
"BANG!," a gunshot echoed into the restaurant.
"HARRY!,"
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
"What was that? Zoro what was that sound?,"
"It... its gunshot,"
"Nami?,"
"Don't worry they will be fine, Luffy is rubber and Harry had magic, stop being mother hen,"
"Aniki... you going to break the sword if you grip it tighter,"
"Shut up Yosaku,"
Harry grabs his bleeding shoulder while holding Luffy down with his magic.
"It just a graze Luffy, nothing to worry about," true to his word the injury slowly heal when he push his magic. "See, better already," Harry smile as he see relief wash over Luffy face. He quickly releases him and Luffy quickly bounce back. Both of them continue watch the scene in fronts of them unaware someone watching them.
"Any food you had, bring it out. Heard that?!," the man, Gin if Harry memory correct order the staff. Harry watch as Gin been thoroughly humiliated by the staff and being beaten by him. He absent mind wave dismiss at the Marine who bow at him for saving his life, as Patty the staff throw Gin out. He looks at Luffy and found him missing, Harry simply blinks and looks up before smile. He stand up and dust his pant and use a spells to repair and clean his shirt before waves his hand at the Owner.
"After all of this excitement, I hope you still have an empty table, Owner," the man looks at him and smirk.
"Of course, this way," they both make way toward the empty table ignoring the jaw dropped of the staffs and customers whom was sure the man was injured before.
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
There's one ultimate rule when sailing in Grand Lines.
Expect the Unexpected
From their magnetic Island, unpredictable weather and many more, that had been the mantra for either Marines or Pirates. It also had been crave into his mind even after he retired and open this restaurant.
Expect the Unexpected
When he fell down, he already feel the power radiated from the door. He subtly watches the teenager while beating his own teenager and the idiot Marine. He instantly knows, the teenager actually older than he look. He remembers meeting someone like him at Saboady Island. His eyes widen when the boy heal his own injury with his glow hand.
Magic
"Hey, hey, see...*hic* see, this is my ... urrmm... ah yeahh My Godson!, his name hi... *pass out*,"
So this is that man godson.
"After all of this excitement, I hope you still have an empty table, Owner," he grin at the man in front of him.
"Of course, this way," it's going to be interesting day for him.
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
"I'm Harry, nice to meet you,"
"... Zeff,"
"And the straw hat boy is my captain,"
"Obviously, with the way his scream your name,"
"Right...,"
"What do you want?,"
"A chef, I hope you don't mind Luffy choose the scrawny Chef,"
"Humph, good luck with that, many tries to recruit the eggplant, he turns all down,"
"He's your son?,"
"No, wish he is so I could beat the snot out of him,"
*chuckle* "I think you already did that,"
"I could give you a direction to nearest town to recruit a chef,"
"Tempting offer, unfortunately like I said the captain already choose him,"
"Like I said good luck,"
"Don't worry, Luffy had a lot of luck and maybe he could bring the scrawny Chef out of his life debt guilt,"
"... Sanji, his name is Sanji,"
"Sanji, okay then... And I think big trouble going to come this way,"
"Don't I know that, damn shitty eggplant,"
*chuckles*
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
"I should punch you for shooting my nakama, but Harry going to beat me up if I did that, so I'm going to let you go,"
"That man is your nakama?,"
"Yup!,"
"How is he?,"
"Shi.. shi.. shi.. he is fine. His injury already heal,"
"That's impossible!,"
"Nope, he uses his magic. Chef! Be my nakama!,"
"I refuse; I have my own reason to keep working on this restaurant,"
"I refuse your refusal, so there!,"
"W... what?! What the hell did you say?,"
"You're a good cook, it a waste of time for you to stay here forever,"
"I've my own reason. Stop making it more complicated you shitty pirate!,"
"Then tell me you reason!,"
"Hell NO!,"
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
"See, they quarrel like good friend already,"
"So it seems,"
"Have some faith on him and maybe you should hit him less,"
"You say something beansprout?,"
"B.. bea.. beansprout? Beansprout?"
...
...
"Stop making poisonous mushroom at my corner, you going accidently kill my customer,"
"Beansprout.. He call me beansprout,"
They spend three day at Baratie. Three full day of cringe worthy experience as Harry watch Luffy making mess or destroy something while he work or Zoro, Nami and Ussop come dining and distract Luffy or Sanji flirt with Nami and the fight that broke between Chef Zeff and Sanji. On the third day, Harry had enough and throws the four of them back into Going Merry and start repairing all the damage done by Luffy. He again completely ignores the shock look coming from the staff and Sanji. But it hard not to throw the table at Chef Zeff who smirk amusedly at him. He finishes it before lunch and even had a time to order large lunch for the crew. Harry sit on the chair and give a huge sigh of relief and stretch his body before relax.
"Here, your lunch," Chef Zeff said and setting down a plate of food and glass of water.
"This isn't my wage isn't," Harry look at the very expensive food. Chef Zeff snort.
"Of course not. This will be on the receipt. After all you're the only customer today," Harry only shrug. After he kicks them out, he can sense Gin and a familiar one, Don Krieg. Harry immediately approach Chef Zeff and whisper to him to close the restaurant and cancel all the reservation for today. Of course the man refuses until he promises to pay him.
"MEAT! FOOD!,"
"There's come your favorite walking disaster," Harry laugh while Chef Zeff scowl at him before hobble and give a swift kick at Luffy. Harry shook his head and continues eating.
This restaurant is full with violent staffs and he loved it.
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
When Zeff announce that the restaurant closed for today, Sanji become suspicion, he silently keeps watch Zeff and Harry. Sanji know it was Harry who suggests it. He watches as both of them seem unsurprised with the arrival of Gin and Krieg. Harry even seems vindictively amuse with Krieg condition and his armada. But he didn't have time to ponder. He had order to deliver.
"Get the fuck away Patty,"
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
Harry watch with a disgusting anger as the arrogant Krieg hit Sanji and demand the ship and the food for his crews. Ungrateful bastard. He probably trash him again like last time if not Chef Zeff hand on his shoulder. The man simply pats his shoulder few times before silently turn back into kitchen. Harry rub his neck and sigh as he watch the scene until Krieg reveal his gold armor and weapon that attach to his body. He raises his hand and creates a shield to protect the chefs. Harry watch with as the bullets ricochet around, Krieg and Gin faces had turn a shade paler. Both of them frantically look around and as their eyes land on him, Harry smile become more predator as Gin took a few step back before fall down on his ass and Krieg become paralyze with terror.
"Hello loser~~ long time no see~~ and Gin sweetie, didn't I tell you to dump this worthless, idiotic, dead brain monkey away?," at his word, Krieg snap and look at him with anger before run toward him. Harry only scoffs before ready to fight back only to have Luffy to intercept the attack and Zoro to stand in front of him with swords drawn.
"You guys know that I'm capable to fight for myself right?," Harry ask while poked Zoro back viciously which he completely ignore it.
"Yeah we know. But you're my nakama Harry," Luffy smile brightly at him. Ahh... Luffy logic, such a beautiful thing that is.
"Besides, it seems you already defeat him once, it'll be boring for a second time," and that is Zoro Logic talk.
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
Gin watch with silent terror at the young man stand behind Straw Hat boy. He still having nightmare on what happen at the Soguem Island. Even though Krieg never admit it, he knew that man also sometimes having the same nightmare like him. He thought they leave that man behind, now he can't help but pray to whatever deity that exist, that they will survive this encounter. Hell, he even willing facing Hawkeye for the second time.
"Is that a treat?," Krieg sneer at the scrawny teenager who shot at him. The boy smirks at him.
"Noooo... this is a warning shot. If I'm making a threat, you're going to lose one of your limb," at his word, Krieg and his crew laughing, some even jeering and mocking at him. Even Gin can't help but laugh at him. The boy shrugs unconcern at them. "Well don't say that I didn't tell you," with a loud pop, the boy gone.
Fifteen minute later,
Krieg and Gin watch in horror as all the pirates lay down on the sands. Some of them unconscious, other was moaning as the sand slowly soaked their blood, those who conscious are to petrified to move. The boy... The boy was standing in the middle of it before he turn and walk (more like strutting with his bare soaking blood feet) toward them. Gin dash forward with his tonfa intent to finish him before he reaches his captain. The boy easily evades him and the next thing he knew, the boy close to him with hand on his chest and a dangerous smirk on his face.
Die... He going to die,
He going to die even before reaches the GrandLines,
What a sad life he has.
His body feels like being shock by electric and be stabbed multiple times before flew and slam into tree and the last moment he saw was his captain raise a few inch in the air before pass out. He wakes up with a very sore body and unconscious body of his captain on their ship (the armor and weapons shatter beyond repair) and none of the crew remembers what happen. Even the one who Gin acutely aware on death door was healthy and whole. Both of them agree not to talk about it and keep it at the back of their minds. Accept for the final words from the boy.
"If we meet next time, prays that you will alive afterward,"
And pray he did.
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
Harry is weird, that for sure. Sometime he acts like old man and then act like normal teenage. Well normal as he can be on this ship. And sometimes he acts like a Marine Commander especially during his training with Ussop on weapons. They did ask Zoro aniki once about it, but he simply tell them not to bother with it. So they let it go, beside Harry only snark or talks to them like Zoro aniki, so they can accept it.
"Do me a favour, watch over Nami okay? I'm quite worried about her,"
Yet they failed. As they tell them about Nami escaped, Harry stays silent and gives them a look that makes them feel guilty and squirming like a child. And they never feel guilty before.
They can't help but wonder how old truly Harry is.
Harry wonder if this is FUBAR feel like. Nope, it's more like FUBAR having threesome with BUNDY and TARFU and there SNAFU try to join in. After Krieg realize that Harry won't interfere, he had gained a confident especially when Chef Zeff appears with a food for his crews. Also the idiot, when he realize who Zeff is, demand the log book of him. Heathen, all of them, like a captain willing to give up easily. Of course he then ramble about One Piece which Luffy once again interrupt the man. He ends up laughing and slamming the table when he hears their failure. As Krieg walk toward his battered ship, Harry turn and look at Chef Zeff. There a proud look on his face as his crew decides to stay and fight including Sanji.
"Hey Gin, what happen when you're in Grand Line?," ask Luffy curiously. Harry shift and sit on the table. He also curious about that.
"I... I still not clear what happen. Bu.. but on seventh day on Grand Line, a man appear and he easily destroy all of our ships," Gin said while trying to repress his memory. But he still continues until come to a man with hawk eyes that Harry notice a shift in Zoro mood. Chef Zeff confirms the existence of the man and Zoro become more excited. Harry grin when Lufty overly excited for the adventure, Ussop who hesitant but willing to go and Zoro who become more determine about his dream. He take a look at Sanji, the boy barely contain his desire to go to the sea. He look back at Chef Zeff and both of them share the same grins.
A few more push now...
And everything went FUBAR. Kreig prepare to attack, Hawkeye appear, Nami gone with the ship and Baratie prepare for battle. As Luffy issue the order, Harry look at the ship direction.
"Zoro, Ussop don't quickly to assume about Nami. Luffy... I'll go first. It that okay?," Luffy nod.
"Make sure she okay," Harry nod and with a pop he disappear.
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
Harry appears at Going Merry main mast. He gently patted her and she purr welcoming him before point out where Nami was. Not that he need it, he can feel it from here. And slowly the headache start to appear again. Silently he walk toward Nami, he saw her leaning on the rail, tears falling down her face and the shadow, whom look more humanoid but still in black smoke look at him and Harry can feel it's pleading at him to do something.
"Nami...," Harry said gently, Nami quickly spin around her bo staff in her hand and she look so... shock and spook like a fright animal. Before he continue to talk, Nami already close to him with her bo staff swinging down to him. Harry yelps and jumps backwards and let the bo staff hitting the floor. Harry look at Nami in surprise and once again she tried to hit him and he easily evade the staff. Their supposed fight looks like Whack-the-Mole with him as a Mole and Nami as a Whack.
"Stay still so I can hit you!," yell Nami in desperation.
"Okay," and Harry suddenly stop moving and the bo staff hit him on the shoulder hard. Harry wince a little while Nami look at him with shock. He grabs the staff and gently pulls it out of her hands. "Feeling better now Nami?,"
"Stop it...,"
"Stop what Nami?,"
"THAT! STOP TALKING TO ME LIKE THAT!," yell Nami, once again tears coming down on her face. She slowly falls on her knees, her face on both hands while sobbing. "Stop talking to me like that... it's hurt... it's hurt... Bellméré...," Harry look at the shadow who try their hardest to comfort Nami but fail. The dark shadow had become greyish now and he can see bits of colour on them (her, his mind whisper). Harry kneels down and gently pulls Nami into his arms. Somehow the action had causing her to cried harder. Harry calmly petting her hair while humming a song (its Lily Luna favourite lullaby) until she calm down.
"Wh... why did you come after me?," Nami said softly, still in Harry arms.
"Because Luffy refuse to let you go," Nami snort at that.
"I've betray him and stole his ship,"
"So it seem,"
"Are you going to take me back?,"
"No... I've come to check on you and go back to Baratie, it was chaos there pity if I'm going to miss all that," Nami shake her head at that.
"Mens...,"
"Okay now?," Harry letting her go and sit by her side.
"Harry...,"
"He will come Nami, after he get the Chef he will come after you,"
"It dangerous, that man he's different than other,"
"So does Luffy. Or are you already forget what happen at Syrup Village?,"
"Of course not! But...,"
"Nami," Nami slowly slouch, Harry once again ruffle her hair before he kiss her forehead. "Please endure it for a while longer, we will come for you," Harry said gently, Nami grab his shirt tightly before let it go.
"Promise?," Harry heart almost break at the pleading voice. He smile once again and hug her again.
"I promise, I've got to go back now. Be careful okay?," Nami nod weakly at him. Harry stand up and apparate leaving Nami alone once more.
And appear right at the moment the huge sword comes down toward Zoro.
Harry grips his hands and bit his lips until both of it bleed. He quickly restraints his magic when he realize some of the staff kneeling and breathing harshly on the floor. However, he misses the shock look and the ready stance from Mihawk. He spread his magic more subtle this time and let a relive sigh when he detect the barely alive Zoro
"I'LL KILL YOU!," Luffy yell snap Harry out of his concentration and look at him. He quickly intercept Luffy attempt by slamming him on the floor. "Wh... What!? Harry! Let me go! I'm going to kill this bastard!,"
"Calm down! Zoro still alive! That man is not your openent right now!," as to support his word, Johnny and Yosaku emerge from the sea with Zoro. "See there he is,"
"Harry,"
"Right away Captain," without wasting time, Harry apparate on Zoro small boat. He kneels down and checks the injury.
"How he is Harry?," ask Ussop with tears.
"Bad, but he'll survive and have an epic scar," Ussop yell at Luffy about Zoro condition. "Oh... you're awake. Don't move,"
"Swo... where my sword?," Harry look at Johnny and Yosaku as both of them hand him the white sword. Zoro grab it and raise it toward the sky. But not before coughing up blood. Harry pull out his wand and mutter "Vulnera Sanentur," over and over toward Zoro injury and at the same times hear the oath that Zoro said. He can only shake his head at Zoro determination. He stops the spell when the wound stop bleeding, but still require stiches. He refuses to completely heal the wound afraid it will strain Zoro body. After binding wound and shove a few necessary potions down Zoro throat, which the other three look with sympathy, he apparate back at Chef Zeff side.
"You've been busy,"
"Yeah, someone had to watch the children,"
"True,"
"It's there any food left in your restaurant? I'm hungry,"
"How about sandwich?,"
"Sure,"
XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX
Dracule Mihawk, the Greatest Swordman in the World sat on his ship silently. He ignores how both his hands cross at his chest grab tightly at his arms or his right foot tapping the floor nervously. His mind keeps thinking of the boy who he knows older than he look at the Baratie.
"You're brooding again," a voice chime like a bell said. Mihawk look up and saw an apparition sat on Yoru crossguard. The apparition who turns out to be a woman is wearing traditional attire for a Miko. She also wears a fox mask on her face, her long and soft green hair cascade on her shoulder.
"I didn't brood, I was thinking," a laugh was the only answer to him. "I never thought I will see someone like you again,"
"You're right unfortunately, that man will be much more than me. You're lucky he had to restrain the straw hat boy, or you won't survive... well you probably survive but there's no doubt your dignity won't,"
"Do you know him?,"
"Sort of, he's that man godson," Mihawk eyes widen in shock before chuckle.
"Well then, that makes things more interesting in the future,"
"For you then, anyway Mi-chan, I want to said thank you,"
"... What for?,"
"Oh you know... he's truly strong isn't he?,"
"Yes, if he was born in the Kingdom of Wano, he will become a powerful samurai,"
"Or being burden with the same fate that I carry,"
"True...,"
"I have to go now, take care of yourself Mi-chan, I don't want to see you before your hair turn white,"
"I doubt I will reach that age,"
"And make sure you don't get lost okay?,"
*mumble* "There's no way I can get lost in the sea," there's no answer this time only laugh before it disappear.
It seems like there is Universal Rules when come to mass fighting. The fight must begin with the minions before follow by the third strongest. Then the second and the boss fight. Well, it supposed to be like that accepts Lufty crash into Sanji and Pearl fight while running away from Krieg and Gin...
"Don't moves Sanji-san or I shoot this old man,"
Holding a hostage. Hhmm... He looks desperate. Harry wondering if he should remind Gin that he still there. Until Sanji became suicidal idiot, he simply raises his both hands and blast both Gin and Pearl away from them.
"It seems you have forgotten about me Gin. I'm very hurt,"
"Y... you said you won't help them,"
"Hhmm... you're right. But Chef Zeff and I was an innocent bystander. If you really want this ship," he lifts his index finger, causing Gin to rise slowly from the floor. His face promptly turns into ghostly white. "Go fight Sanji on your own!," Harry throw him toward Pearl who rush toward Sanji. The collision making Pearl almost falls into sea which Harry quickly stun him to get rid of him. Harry sits down beside Chef Zeff and look at fight between Sanji and Gin.
"You look anxious," Chef Zeff said while moving to sitting position.
"So am I. The fight had been dragging too long,"
"You're right," they both pause and hear Sanji talk. Harry blinks a few times before turn at Chef Zeff.
"You're son is an idiot,"
"Why did you think I keep beating him?,"
"Because that's how manly man talk?," Chef Zeff only snort. Both of look again at Luffy they hear his voice and the platform was destroy.
"Well at least your captain understands," Harry only shook his head at the sight of destruction.

The battle was over few hours later. Luffy had defeat that idiotic Krieg and Gin who survive the execution by poison gas, thanks to Harry quick reflex, had move his captain and the surviving crews into the boat ( Harry transfigure the badly damage ship into boat) and sail away. After the making sure all the injury has been treat, Harry let Lufty rest before walk toward Sanji. They stay in silent watching the sea before Harry chuckle pats Sanji shoulder and walk away.
"You're supposed to convince me to leave this shitty restaurant," Harry stop and look at him. Sanji still looking at the sea.
"Fortunately for you, I'm bad at peep talk, I leave it to my captain," which is a little lie. But he had another thing to do, like prepare the ship or talk with Chef Zeff. There a few question he need to ask.

"Shitty eggplant look so happy, that Idiot,"
"At least he is your idiot, am I right Zeff?,"
"Finally decide to ask eh?,"
"You didn't surprise when I use my magic. At first I thought you think I was a Devil Fruit user but you keep asking me weird question. It makes me suspicious," he pull out Sirius pictures and hand it over to Chef Zeff. "Did you ever see this man before?," Chef Zeff look at the pictures before give back to him.
"Zeff! Zeff! Look! This is how do I look now annnndd tah-daa! This is how I look before,"
"Both of you look like serial killer on loose,"
"Se... serial killer? Exactly like he said,"
"I just state the truth, stop sulking,"
"NEVER!,"
"Yes, I've meet before during my times as a pirate," Chef Zeff look at him "Do you want to know?," Harry stay silent for a while and ask,
"Is he happy?,"
"As happy as any crazy pirate could be,"
"Really, then I have to turn down the offer. I will search him by myself. Thanks for the info," said Harry honestly. Chef Zeff watch the man boy walk away before turn back at sea.
"I hope you ready for the truth kid, because it isn't pretty,"

After the horrible act by the chefs, Yosaku sudden appearance with information about Nami, Harry, Luffy and Yosaku now on boat waiting for Sanji. He watches with a smile at their tearful goodbye.
"Harry!," Harry raise his head and look at Chef Zeff. "Good luck and take good care of him,"
"Don't worry, I will. If he getting too much, I just throw him into the sea," said Harry with a grin. Chef Zeff and his staff laugh at his word.
"Ready?," ask Luffy, all of them nod. With a big grin and both his arms raise into the sky he yell,
"LET'S GO!,"
