New chapter.

I will then post a chapter of '' Heroes VS Kaido'', and then a chapter of '' Nazarick Ga Kill "

Looking around, Ace finally exclaims.

" I think we lost Luffy and the others ! Or maybe we got lost. "

" No risk. " Bruno assured him, continuing to walk. " I have studied the Alabasta map and I know how to orient myself perfectly, even in a desert. "

Listening to him, Ace shrugged, before starting to follow him. Then, after a few minutes, he smiles.

" To be honest with you, I can't see Luffy inviting a guy like you to his crew. "

" Hum ? "

" You are a very serious guy ! In fact, you are the complete opposite of my silly little brother ! So I wondered why you were accompanying him. "

" I am not part of his crew! I never considered Luffy to be my captain. "

" You seem to hate him. "

" I don't hate him. " Bruno retorted. " I'm just criticizing his position as captain ! He never acts seriously! I don't understand his crew following him so blindly! From what I understand, we are only at the start of Grand Line and Luffy is already not sure if he will beat Crocodile! What will he do in the future? Will he continue to defy death while smiling stupidly? "

" Yes, it is sure. " Approved Ace. " And that's what makes his charisma. "

" Huh ? "

" You are not stupid, Bruno! So you yourself must know that you followed Luffy for a reason! Why ? Because you respect his determination, his willingness to protect his friends and most of all, the trust he places in each of his friends, right? Luffy is a one of a kind captain and that's what makes people want to follow him. "

Looking at Bruno, Ace questioned him.

'' Don't you want to follow Luffy to travel the rest of this world with him ? "

Stopping, Bruno remained silent. Then, finally, just as he was about to speak, they felt a figure fly across the sky.

" Hey, the two fools. "

Landing not far from the duo, Raynare roared.

" I have enough work like that playing Luffy's babysitter! Don't start to get lost like that idiot. "

" We are not lost. " Bruno retorted simply, while pointing in a direction. " It's that way, isn't it ? "

" Not matter ! Next time, wait for us! The others are now half an hour late. "

" Eevee. " Approved the pokemon, being on the shoulder of the fallen angel.

" You, I didn't ask you anything ! Let's try to find a place with a little shade while waiting for the others. "

Looking into the distance, Ace narrowed his gaze as he thought he saw the outlines of a village in the distance.

" Hey! I think I see houses. "

" If I went to the map Vivi-san showed me, we can't be far from Ido village. " Bruno told him.

" Perfect ! " Ace asserted, walking towards the dwellings. " Hope they have some food! I'm starting to get hungry. "

Seeing him do it, Bruno wanted to know.

" He has money ? "

" No, I don't think. "

" How will he pay for his meal ? "

" In your opinion ? "

Being traveling inside a wall, Bruno finally revealed a zipper which he opened. Once done, he stepped out of the wall, followed by Ace and Raynare.

" Incredible aptitude. " Luffy's brother noticed. " Your power is super handy for espionage. "

" You haven't seen anything yet. " Bruno affirmed.

Having entered the village of Ido, the trio had preferred to be discreet and had traveled through the walls of the city, thanks to the powers of Bruno.

" Better avoid trouble. " Said the man, noticing that he was in a large dwelling. " It would be a shame if the country's authorities came this way if the villagers warn them that they saw the famous Portgas D. Ace. "

'' I don't care about all that. " Raynare retorted, letting himself sit in a corner of shade. " I just want to take a nap while waiting for the others. "

" Eevee ! " Eevee exclaimed, getting to her knees.

Grabbing it by the neck, the fallen angel threw it a little further. This didn't prevent the pokemon from coming back to lie on her legs, however.

" You little… "

Suddenly sniffing, Ace declared.

" I smell the food. "

" Hum? "

Turning his head in all directions, he suddenly pointed to a hallway.

" Over there. "

Then seeing him leave, Bruno affirmed.

" I think we have finally found something in common between Ace and Luffy. "

" Kamyu-san, you and your men are a blessing to our village. " Said the mayor of Ido village. " Since you've been here, our village hasn't been attacked once. "

Drinking a mug of alcohol, Kamyu then placed it on a table covered with food and alcohol, before asserting.

" HAHAHA ! No wonder that! Who would dare to attack members of the rebel army ! Isn't that right, guys ? "

Next to him, four people nodded.

" Yeah, we manage. " Assured a man with boxing gloves.

" Even if we prefer to avoid any unnecessary fight. " Said a sumo-like man.

Using an abacus and writing various numbers on a notepad, a fourth man, wearing glasses on his nose, began to declare.

" According to my calculations, the chances of this village being attacked by pirates or other thugs are less than two percent. "

" Hahahaha ! You hear ? " Wanted to know Kamyu. " You can believe Igicko's calculations ! He is never wrong. "

" Wonderful. " The mayor rejoices. " But, I just have a question ! I heard that the rebels will soon attack the royal army ! Does that mean you are going to leave this village ? "

" Out of the question. " Retorted the boxer, while continuing to eat. " The food in this place is way too good. "

He was immediately struck by Kamyu, who hurriedly exclaimed.

" What my comrade means is that we haven't really decided if we are really going to attack the king. "

" I understand ! We too have kept faith in our king ! But we just hope we can enjoy your protection for some time to come. "

" Don't worry ! We will weigh the pros and cons, while privileging the life of the poor villagers ! After all, it's the people's lives that should always come first, right ? Nevertheless, if this is possible, we would like to continue to be supplied with food and alcohol. "

" But with pleasure, Kamyu-san ! You will get whatever you want ! Now, if you will excuse me. "

As soon as the mayor left the room the boxer wanted to know.

'' What are we going to do, Kamyu-san ? If we decide to join the rebel army, we can be considered heroes, right ? "

" Idiot ! Do you really believe we can fight against the royal army ? We will be massacred! Moreover, I remind you that we are only simple thugs. "

" In addition to that, nothing tells us that the rebel army will win this war. " Affirmed Igicko, using his abacus again. " According to my calculations, it's fifty-fifty. "

" In this case, it is not even worth discussing. " Said the leader of the little band, while eating a piece of meat. " No way to go and fight to die when we can have everything we want by staying here. "

At that moment, a pair of arms wrapped around his neck, while a female voice cried out.

" Darling! You're so smart. "

Sitting on Kamyu's lap, a young blonde woman cried out.

" Thanks to your great plan we have finally found a place where we can eat at will ! And I even got to have new clothes! It is thanks to you that we no longer act like poor people! And that's why I love you. "

'' Uh ... I love you too, Ara. " Kamyu said, while turning his head to the side and blushing. " However, we must not forget that we will have to leave this village if a danger arises. "

" I told you that nothing will happen to us. " Igicko retorted. " Seriously, with the rumors you've been spreading all over the place, the thugs in the area believe there are a hundred rebels residing here ! Who would be stupid enough to come now? "

'' Me, as long as we don't have to fight, that's fine with me. " Sumo asserted.

" No risk. " Ara assured.

Suddenly displaying a psychopathic gaze, she pulled a large dagger out of her clothes, before declaring.

" If someone dares to attack my Kamyu, I promise to cut off his genitals and make him eat them. "

'' A ... Ara, could you put your knife away, please ? " Kamyu questioned, uncomfortable seeing her with a weapon in her hands.

" Of course, Darling. "

Sighing, Kamyu couldn't help but find the situation somewhat complicated with Ara's presence. Ever since his group had met the young woman, half-starved, she had shown bodyguard skills that had allowed the men to escape many dangers. However, being the one who had gathered him among them, Kamyu very quickly made Ara fall under his spell and quickly discovered her yandere side. Since then, Kamyu had preferred to avoid being in the company of any woman so as not to attract the anger of the young woman.

" We will stay in this village and we will take all the food we can before leaving to find better elsewhere. " Assured the man. " Igicko, how long can we stay here ? "

" At the rate we eat, I would say two months. "

" Perfect, in this case, guys ! Enjoy it ! For two months, we will live like royalty. "

" YEAAAHHHHH! "

Having heard their discussion, Ace and the others were behind a wall. Having understood the real attentions of Kamyu, towards this village, Bruno began to roar.

" What a bunch of garbage. "

" But smart. " Raynare remarked. "The rebel army has more and more influence ! No one will dare to attack them. "

" What do we have to do with that. " Bruno roared, pretending to come out of his hiding place.

" Hey, where are you going? " Ace questioned, grabbing his arm.

" In your opinion ? I'm going to tell these good people my way of thinking. "

" Is it really wrong what they are doing ? "

" Sorry ? "

" Think a bit ! An isolated village like this must be frequently attacked by groups of bandits ! From what I understand, this village is no longer threatened by this scourge thanks to the presence of these guys, who, in exchange, only take part of the food from these places ! These are just little villains of no great importance. "

Shaking his arm, Bruno retorted.

" That's not the problem! The rebel army is a collection of people who fight by believing in their ideals, even if nobody knows that it is Crocodile who is manipulating them ! Yet they will soon go into battle and even their lives on the line to defend what they feel is right. "

Glaring at Kamyu and the others, he roared.

" Let these scoundrels do it, it's insulting the ideals of this army. "

" And what are you going to do? " Raynare questioned, not caring a little about the situation. " Kick their buttocks, leave this village and let the bandits come back and attack the villagers ? Forget about it ! In this story, the villagers are just as much a winner as these crooks. "

Clenching his fist, Bruno showed that he refused to admit this.

" The day when bandits are mad enough to attack this village, these impostors will flee and let the villagers be massacred ! Not only will their village be destroyed, but their hopes will also be forever destroyed. "

Listening to him, Ace ends up smiling at him, while declaring.

" I have an idea. "

Continuing to eat and drink, Kamyu and his companions were taking advantage of the credibility of the villagers. Then, suddenly, a powerful explosion was heard. Spitting out the drink he was drinking, Kamyu immediately stood up, before looking out through one of the room's windows.

" What was that ? "

" A cannon shot? " Asked the boxer.

" No ! It was way too powerful. " Igicko retorted.

Suddenly, a huge column of fire appeared in the center of Ido village, making the villagers cry out in fear.

" What are these flames? " Asked sumo.

" I do not know ! But I don't want to know it. " Kamyu asserted, grabbing his rifle and some food. " It must be an enemy attack ! Let's go quickly ! "

" But Kamyu… "

" Kamyu-san. "

Entering the room, the last member of the group of crooks (the man with the tattoo on his forehead and a sword) cried out.

" It's ... It's a disaster. "

" What? Do you know what caused the appearance of these flames ? "

" He is in the city. " Cried the swordsman.

" Who is that ? " Wanted to know Kamyu.

" Portgas D. Ace ! "

A heavy silence was heard in the room, until the moment when Kamyu's rifle fell to the ground, without he noticing it.

" Por… Portgas D. Ace? " Repeated the boxer.

'' The commander of Whitebeard's second fleet ? " Sumo wondered, sweating profusely.

" What is he doing here? " Wanted to know Igicko.

Taking him by the collar of his clothes, Kamyu roared.

" Congratulations, mister genius ! I thought you told us that this village would never be attacked by bandits. "

" How did I know that Portgas D. Ace was going to come to Alabasta to attack a village like this ? "

" Darling, what are we doing? " Wanted to know Ara. " Should we attack him ? "

" Are you crazy or what ? Let's take flight and leave this village. "

" But what about the inhabitants? " Wanted to know sumo.

" If we stay here, we'll be slaughtered with them ! So we have to… "

Suddenly the door to the room opened and several villagers entered, seeming to panic.

" Kamyu-san! Help us ! "

Bowing down to the crooks, the village mayor cried out.

" Kamyu-san ! I know we ask a lot of you but, can you protect us to Portgas D. Ace ? "

" It's… it's the real … the real Ace ? "

" Yes indeed ! And there are two other pirates with him, including a woman with a bounty of nine million berries. "

" What do they want? "

" They say they want to fight the rebel army members of this village. "

Swallowing his saliva, hearing this, Kamyu took a step back.

"Is this ... is this a joke ? Why would this guy want to fight us? We are not even real rebels ! We are just a small bunch of impostors. "

" Help us ! " Begged the mayor.

" A ... A moment! We are not … "

" Kamyu-san ! " A woman implored him, while holding a baby in her arms. " Help us ! "

" Help us, Kamyu-san. "

'' We beg you, Kamyu-san. "

Not knowing what to say, the man finally felt hands grab the bottom of his pants. Looking down, he saw a few children begging him.

" Kamyu-san, help us. "

Remaining silent, faced with these pleas, the man closed his fists and clenched his teeth. Within moments, he suddenly felt like remembering his old dreams when he was a child. Yes, when he wanted to become a hero and not the impostor he is now. Then, finally, he grabbed his rifle before roaring.

'' Guys, forward ! "

" What ? "

" Are you deaf or what? The village is under attack and it's up to us to defend it. "

Raising his arm in the air, he cried out.

" I don't care who Ace is, but if he dares to attack the villagers of this village, we will slaughter him. "

Hearing this, many of the villagers began to display looks of hope and admiration at the man.

" Kamyu-san. "

However, seeing their leader's legs shaking, his five companions knew full well that they had no chance of winning this fight.

" Kamyu, why do we have to fight these guys ? " Wanted to know the boxer.

" We have no chance of winning. " Affirmed Igicko. " And I don't even need my abacus to predict that. "

" Shut up ! We have no choice anyway. "

Indeed, while the six people walked towards the center of the village, they were followed by the whole population, who wanted to admire their exploits.

" And what are we going to do to win ? " Asked the swordsman.

" Let me do it. "

Finally, arriving in a large square, the impostors saw three people waiting for them. Eating a piece of meat he had just stolen from a grocery store, Ace was the first to notice their presence.

" Hey ! Here are the famous rebels of this city! It's funny ! I understood that there were about a hundred of you. "

" Are these guys rebels ? " Raynare laughed. " Don't make me laugh ! Anyone could beat these guys with a flick. "

'' Are you really sure you're from the rebel army ? " Wanted to know Bruno.

" S… Shut up. " Kamyu ordered. " Either way, may I know what sea pirates like you are doing here. "

" Nothing, we are bored. " Ace asserted. " And finally, we think we find it fun to destroy this village ! Glad to see that people have come to fight us, it will make things a lot more fun. "

" Funny ? "

" Let's make a game ! You will fight my two men and if you ever win against them we will leave ! But otherwise, I unfortunately fear to be obliged to destroy this place. "

Hearing sounds of fear behind his back, Kamyu roared.

" Do not make fun of us. Like we're gonna let you do this ! Anyway, you can't even imagine how many rebels there are in this village. "

" We know. " Bruno retorted. " Zero ! You're not even rebels, are you ? "

" What ? " Kamyu wondered.

"How does he know that ? "

" ZIP ! "

Suddenly creating a closure in the ground, Bruno disappeared inside it.

" What … ? "

Suddenly a second zipper appeared just behind Igicko and Bruno got out. Not even having time to feel his presence, the poor man received a powerful kick in the back, which knocked him to the ground.

" IGICKO ! "

" Motherfucker. " Kamyu roared, pointing his rifle at Bruno.

However, falling from the sky, Raynare crushed the gun, before pulverizing it against the ground. Stunned, Kamyu couldn't react in time as Raynare's boot hit him in the face, throwing him into the air, before slamming him violently into the ground.

Seeing this, many villagers got scared.

" Ka… Kamyu-san. "

" Tsss! Talk about an insect. " Raynare remarked.

" Bitch. " A voice roared.

Having pulled two guns out of her clothes, Ara shot Raynare several times, while screaming.

" You dared to hit my Kamyu ? I'm going to gut you. "

Yet, lying on Raynare's shoulder, Eevee leaped out of its perch, before creating a multitude of tiny stars.

Eevee use METEORE.

" What … ? " Both Raynare and Ara were surprised.

Hitting the projectiles of the young psychopath, the attack of the pokemon caused an explosion. Taking advantage of being hidden in a cloud of smoke, Eevve then rushed straight towards Ara, while increasing its speed.

Eevee use QUICK ATTACK.

Suddenly emerging from the smoke, the pokemon found itself right in front of Ara who was taken by surprise. Taking a phenomenal leap, Eevee let it skull hit her stomach, knocking her back. Falling back, gasping for air, Ara curled into a ball, moaning in pain. So it was that within ten seconds three of the "rebels" had just been knocked down.

" It's ... Is this a joke ? " Wanted to know the swordsman, stepping back.

" Damn it! I knew we couldn't stand up to these guys. " Said the boxer.

For her part, Raynare stared at Eevee who came back to her before sitting down and giving her its cutest look, seeming to wait to be congratulated. Truth be told, the fallen angel didn't even understand what had just happened. She never thought she saw an animal attack like that.

" Who are you ? "

" Eevee. " Just say the animal.

" We are going to be massacred. " The sumo shouted, stepping back.

However, hearing a noise behind them, the man and his two companions still standing were frightened when they saw Bruno behind them.

'' Are you going somewhere, cowards ? "

Not even needing to use his special abilities, Bruno began fighting the three men and quickly knocked them down. Seeing this, several people began to scream.

" Kamyu-san! Wake up ! "

" Your men need you. "

" Kamyu-san ! "

However, the man still remained on the ground. Instead, Ara managed to get up. With her hand on her stomach, she was barely able to breathe. However, getting to her feet, she groaned as she saw her three companions being beaten by Bruno.

Suddenly thinking back to her meeting with Kamyu's men, Ara remembered the moment they had discovered her, in the middle of the desert, dying of hunger and thirst. For the men, it would have been easy for them to abandon her and let her die. Yet instead, they had given her their water and food so that she could live. And even if she harbored boundless love for Kamyu, she would not let anyone come after the one she considered to be her precious companions.

" How dare you ... How dare you attack my heroes ? "

Coming out, her dagger, she rushed towards Bruno. Turning his back to her, Bruno seemed to be defenseless. However, turning around at the last second, he managed to touch Ara's blade, and created a zipper that split the dagger in half.

" That … ? "

" Cowards like you will never be heroes. " Bruno cried, getting ready to hit her.

Screaming in fear, Ara put her arms in front of her face for protection. Still, someone grabbed Bruno's fist and stopped him.

" Hum ? "

Opening her eyes, Ara saw Kamyu in front of her. Despite the bloody nose, despite being afraid, and despite knowing that he was going to die, the man had managed to get up in order to protect his companions.

" Kamyu ? "

" Oh ? Has the coward finally got up ? "

" Yes, I'm just a coward. " Kamyu confessed.

" Huh ? "

" I would have liked to be seen as a hero and be as strong as them ! But what do you want ? No one can decide their fate ! But even though I'm just a little thug who can no longer fulfill his childhood dreams, I refuse to let the dreams of the people watching me be destroyed because of you and my cowardice ! Yes, I will fight for them ! I would rather die today as a hero, rather than continue to live as a coward ! I am I am … "

" Are you going to shut it up ? " Bruno roared. " ZIPPER ... "

Picking him up, Kamyu punched him in the face, and knocked him down.

" I am Kamyu, the keeper of Ido ! Come to me, pirates! I'm not afraid to fight you. "

" Oh ? " Ace wondered.

" Tssss ! Words for nothing. " Raynare asserted.

However, sensing a presence behind her, she grabbed hold of Eevee in extremis and flew into the skies. Striking the ground with his fist, the sumo pulverized the stone.

" Is it a joke? " Raynare wondered. " He wanted to kill me or what? "

" Being a hero is not only Kamyu's dream! It is also ours! And if he wants to fight to save this village, I will do it too. "

Managing to pick up his guns, Ara shot Raynare again, while roaring.

" Kamyu may be a coward, but he's also a good-hearted person ! I refuse that pirates like you insult the man I love. "

Dodging her projectiles one by one, Raynare ends up dropping beside her, before declaring.

" These insects are starting to annoy me. "

" Let do ! After all, it is Bruno that these people must fight. "

Rising up, the man saw the swordsman and the boxer surrounding him, while declaring.

" Me too, I want to show all these villagers that I have guts. "

" Yeah! If I am to die, I want to be seen as a man. "

Seeing his friends facing the pirates for support, Kamyu couldn't help but be surprised.

" Guys ? "

" Being a hero has never been my dream. " Admitted Igicko, getting up. " I have been a crook since I was little, and I have always been able to make a living that way. "

Taking off his broken glasses, he declared nonetheless.

" However, I suddenly want to exchange all of my gangster life, to become a hero for a single second. "

Rolling up his sleeves, he roared.

" I may not know how to fight, but these pirates will regret having attacked me. "

Smiling before nodding, Kamyu ordered.

" To attack ! "

Seeing the six people rush in their direction, Ace smiled. Then, with a wave of his hand, he created a wall of flame between the pirates and the impostors.

" What … ? "

Advancing towards Bruno, Ace wanted to know.

" Satisfied ? "

Standing still, Bruno ends up putting his hands in his pockets, before starting to leave.

" We can go ! These morons seem to have a minimum code of honor. "

" Perfect ! "

And a few seconds later, the wall of flame disappeared. Opening his eyes, Kamyu and the others could only be surprised, not seeing the slightest trace of the pirates.

" That … ? Where are they ? "

Seeing them nowhere, the swordsman asked.

" We ... We managed to scare them away ? "

" What ? Did we scare those pirates? "

Not knowing what to say, Kamyu suddenly heard cries of joy.

" KAMYU-SAMA ! "

Running towards the warriors, several villagers began to surround them, cheering them on.

" Good job, guys. "

" You were perfect. "

" You are incredible. "

Seeing everyone start to congratulate him, Kamyu couldn't help but feel a strange feeling. Since the first time in his life, he was proud of himself.

"So that's what being a hero is ?"

Suddenly several women grabbed his arms before sticking to him.

" Kamyu-san, you have been awesome. "

" Yes, you are a great man. "

" Kamyu-san, would you like to come over to my place so I can buy you a drink? "

Scratching the back of his head while smiling foolishly, Kamyu ends up stopping feeling negative energy behind him. Turning around, he jumped when he saw Ara being surrounded by a black aura, while screaming.

" Kamyu…"

In an instant, the man fled, followed by the young woman who began to shoot him. Screaming in fear, the man was fleeing for his life. Yet, unable to help but still feel joy in him, he affirmed.

" I would try to change! And one day, I will become a real hero. "
