Being in Ruruka harbor, Coby and the others were surprised, as they saw the old pumpkin pirates, who no longer looked like children at all.
"Were you kicked out of the Rainbow Mist by the explosion ? " Coby repeated.
"Yes ! " The man agreed. " To tell you the truth, I never thought it was possible ! But apparently god wanted us to meet again ! It's a chance, isn't it ? "
"Rapanui ..." Henzo said, while he couldn't help but cry. " I ... I am ..."
"Henzo ... if we are what we are today, it is thanks to you ! And I would like to take this moment to thank you again! You, who is one of us! You are and you will always stay a pumpkin's pirate. "
"Aye…!" The scientist said simply, not being able to calm his sobs.
For her part, watching Pasqua's men arrest Wetton's men, Sakura saw Philip and Lake being forcibly taken on the Navy boat.
"Let go of me!" Philip yelled, trying to struggle. "You don't have the right! I'm not a pirate."
For his part, remaining silent, Lake stopped, when he reached Sakura's level.
"You must be glad I got captured, right ?"
"Not really." Sakura retorted. "Actually, if I can ask you a question, I would like to know why you protected me from your grandfather?"
"I don't really know." Lake admitted. "Maybe because I blamed myself for hitting you, when it was you who held out your hand to encourage me to trust you ! If you hadn't, I would be surely dead now ! Or, it's because I discovered that the monster, of us two, was surely me. "
"What will become of you?"
"Compared to my grandfather, my father and I are not pirates! So I think we will only go to jail for a while, for exploiting the inhabitants of this island ! But, when I get out, I will come back see you . "
"Huh?" The zombie wondered.
"I will join the Navy." The man assured, before being pushed forward by the soldier he had tied him up. "And when we meet again, I will be a brave soldier, who will have no interest in money any more."
Seeing him leave, Sakura nodded, before screaming.
"I'll wait for you then, see you next time."
Hearing the discussion, Helmep began to growl.
"If this man approaches Sakura again, I will kill him."
"I agree ! " Jin agreed. "No one is touching my Sakura-chan."
"Your Sakura ? How do you want to dredge her with your gangster face ? "
"Shut up, asshole ! "
Hearing this, Coby laughed. However, he quickly whimpered in pain, receiving a punch to his head.
"COBY ! " Garp roared. "Can you explain to me what happened ? I appointed you head of this simple spy mission, and you managed to create so much mess ? Can you explain to me what happened to you ? How would you like to go to this haze? "
"Sorry, Vice Admiral ! " The boy apologized, giving a military salute. "If I took this dangerous desire, without your consent, it was to save the lives of a group of children! I apologize for that and take full responsibility for it."
Nonetheless, he saw Garp smile, as the man asserted.
"Rescue of a group of children ... Arrest of a former pirate captain ... Find treasures belonging to nobles around the world ... And final destruction of the Rainbow Mist, which threatened the lives of the people of this island ! Great job, Coby ! "
At first surprised, Coby gave another military salute.
"Thank you, Vice Admiral!"
However, he received another punch.
"However, before you went into the Rainbow Mist, you should have warned me, you idiot! And the same goes for the three fools who accompanied you."
Barely having time to understand the end of his sentence, Helmep and Jin also are hit on the top of the head. Then, it was the same with Sakura. Nevertheless, when he hit her, Garp felt like he was hit on the top of his head as well and ended up with a huge bump, like the four young soldiers.
"You need to stop hitting me, Garp-san." Sakura advised him. "I ate a devil fruit that allows me to do so much damage to a person who hits me."
"What ? "
"That's right ! " Helmep assured, hiding behind Sakura. " Stop hitting us or you'll be in pain."
"Besides, it's violence against minor," Jin asserted, imitating him.
"Don't hide behind me."
For his part, remaining in the background, Coby finally saw a bird-mailman, flying above them, before dropping leaves. Sitting down, Coby quickly noticed that it was the latest wanted notices that had been posted. And the first one he saw was Luffy's.
"Luffy-san ...? 100 million berries ? "
Smiling at the sight of this, Coby seemed happy at the news.
"So the rumors I heard about Alabasta are true! Luffy-san defeated Crocodile! Luffy-san is so amazing. "
"Oh ? Are you a Luffy fan ? "
Startled, Coby immediately took a step back, while he saw Emma just behind him.
"Who ... Who are you?"
Ignoring his question, Emma grabbed Luffy's wanted notice. then, when she saw the reward for her capture, her rebellious fuse began to move in all directions.
"100 million? HAHAHAHA! Luffy is catching up with Ace! He better watch out."
"What ...? Do you know Luffy?"
"Of course!" Emma assured. "Luffy is my little brother."
Immediately, everyone present at Ruruka harbor could hear a huge noise.
"WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT?"
( On the Garp's boat )
Standing across from Emma, Coby and his comrades were listening to the introductions Garp was giving.
"This is Vice Admiral Emma ! She's one of my old disciples."
"Hello ! "
Getting ready to ask something, Coby opened his mouth. However, Garp immediately roared.
"NOOOOO ! She's not the sister of that fool Luffy, who turned into a miserable pirate ! She's just my adopted little girl."
"So is it true what we're saying?" Helmep asked. "Are you Luffy's grandfather? Damn it, if you tell this at world, you'll lose your reputation as a hero."
"I don't care about my reputation," Garp retorted. "In any case, know that if you follow my training, you can also become a vice admiral like this girl."
"I work very hard to allow people to live happy lives." Emma assured.
"Vice Admiral Emma…?" Coby repeated, as he remembered something.
Suddenly screaming, he remembered.
"Are you one of the 'Five Hopes ?"
"The" Five Hopes ? " Sakura repeated.
"In the Navy, there are three admirals: Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru! They are the most powerful people in the Navy! However, there is still a chance that they will end up getting killed or decide to leave the Navy ! As a result, the government has taken the lead and has already drawn up a list of five potential future admirals of the Navy: the Five hopes ! Garp-san is one of them, as is Vice Admiral Emma! "
"What ?" Jin wondered, staring at Emma, who continued to smile at them. "That woman with her childish smile? I feel like she's even less dangerous than Sakura."
"Don't be fooled by the way he looks," Garp retorted. "Emma is an excellent fighter! Nevertheless, that is nothing compared to her shooting skills! Emma is the best sniper of all the soldiers in the Navy."
"The best ? Unbelievable." Sakura congratulated her.
Immediately, Sakura's hands, now devoid of any trace of makeup, were grabbed by Emma, who began to shake them.
"Your name is Sakura, is that right ? I'm so happy to meet you ! Grandpa has told me a lot about you ! It seems that you're a zombie ! Unbelievable! It's the first time I've met a zombie. "
Surprised, Sakura saw her continue to smile at her, while not stopping talking. Emma knew she was a zombie, but not at all afraid of it.
"You ... you're not afraid to touch a monster,"
"Huh? Yet would I call you a monster? After all, if you joined the Navy, that means you're a nice person who wants to protect others! And even if you weren't, I would find that out very exciting to be friends with a zombie. "
"Friend ? "
Listening to her, Jin noticed.
"This person is as nice as Sakura-chan."
"No! It's just that she's as stupid as her brother," Garp asserted. "I don't know why, but they both love anything that isn't normal."
"I know," Coby assured, remembering Luffy's reaction, when he saw Raynare and Lucy's powers. "And that's why I admire Luffy-san so much."
"Say it again on my boat and I swear you'll be on potato chore for a month."
"My apologies, Vice Admiral."
Finally, as the boat left Ruruka harbor, Sakura stared at the town, while Henzo was saying goodbye to his old friends.
"Does helping others make you forget that we are not of this world?"
Startling, while Jin had settled down next to her, Sakura finally answered.
"I… let's say I'm happy for Henzo-san! Thanks to his efforts, he was able to fulfill his dream of reuniting with his friends! So maybe we too can make it home."
"And you want me to wait fifty for that ? "
Getting ready to say something, Sakura heard Jin declare.
"For my friends, I would be able to work a hundred years, if I was certain to see them again one day."
Then, grabbing his head, he cried out.
"But what am I saying? I want to see them again, now! ARRRRRGGGGHHHH! And to think that I was sure that damn mist was going to get me home! It's not fair."
Not knowing what to say, Sakura saw Helmep approaching her.
"Damn it ! We really are a very strange group ! A fan of a pirate ! The son of a former colonel, turned pirate ! A zombie girl ! And a schizophrenic capable of cloning himself!"
Then, rummaging in his pockets, he took out a small bag which he presented to Sakura.
"Here's a little gift."
"A present ? " Sakura wondered, taking the bag.
As soon as she opened it, Sakura's eyes began to sparkle, as she grabbed a cookie.
"I'm sorry." Helmep apologized. "That's all that was left in the bakery where Lake decided to spoil all the cakes ! And don't worry, I paid for it."
"Helmep, thank you ! " Sakura thanked him, trying to bite into her cookie.
However, Helmep was surprised to see her freeze.
"A problem ? "
"We're a team." Sakura remarked. "It's okay to share everything."
"Hmm ?"
"Coby ! Jin ! Come on !"
"What's wrong ? " The two men asked, coming towards the duo.
At that moment, Sakura broke her cookie into four equal pieces and gived three pieces for her companions.
"We are a united group." She announced. "And this cookie is the reward for our efforts today."
"Great." Jin said. "So if I catch a Yonko, would I be entitled to a sandwich ?"
"Shut up." Helmep ordered him. "This cookie wasn't for you anyway."
Looking at his quarter cookie, Coby asserted.
"Sakura is right! We are now a team ! And therefore we need a name ! And I decide to call us the '' Young team ''!"
"Too classic and no originality." Helmep retorted. "How about the '' Destroyers ? "
"Do you think you're an eight-year-old ? " Jin asked him. "No, the best name in our band would be the 'Extreme Super Villains'. "
"Failed ! " The other two men said at once.
"Why ? "
Reflecting, Sakura asserted.
"Helmep is right ! We are all weird, in our own way."
"Hmm ? "
"Me, I suggest we call ourselves '' the four weirders "! "
Looking at her, the three boys finally stared at each other. Then, finally, they lifted their quarter cookie in the air before smiling.
"Ok, for the 'four weirders'. "
Happy that her choice was validated, Sakura imitated them.
Looking at them, Emma was smiling, while declaring.
"Here is a small group full of hope. "
"Do you think so ? " Garp asked him.
"Yes." Sakura assured, remembering the time when she had drunk a cup of sake, with her three foster brothers. "These four are like me and my foolish brothers."
Just shrugging, Garp watched Ruruka walk away from them, as he confessed.
" I met Aizen. "
"AIZEN ? " Emma wondered. "Here? Why haven't you captured him ?"
"I wish I could, but he vanished as soon as I saw him! He must have left the island a long time ago."
Reflecting, he said.
"The 'Five Hopes' are the potential replacement for Navy admirals ! However, there is also another list that the government is hiding from much of the population: the five archdemons."
"The list of five potential pirates who could earn a Yonkos title, if one of the current four Yonkos were to disappear," Emma reminded herself.
"Yes ! There are Igneel, Bardock and Acacia ! Three members of the former Gold D. Roger crew! As well as Shiki, the golden lion, who has taken Bullet's place, now that he is imprisoned in Impel Down! Him, he was on the Rocks D. Xebec crew! And finally, the last person is Aizen, who was the only known immigrant to have been on the Xebec crew. "
"And who is the man who betrayed him by making an alliance with an immigrant from Roger's crew." Emma finished. "Why this last isn't also on the list ? From what you've told me, he's much more dangerous than a pirate like Igneel."
"To tell the truth, the being who betrayed Roger, to team up with Aizen, is perhaps the most likely to become the next Pirate King," Garp retorted. "It has been over twenty years since no one has heard from him and no one can tell if he is still alive! And it was by taking advantage of this that the Navy decided to hide his identity so that no one can't remember him. "
Clenching his fist, he groaned.
"Those fools in government ... it's obvious that this being is still alive! And seeing Aizen is proof of that! He's somewhere in this world biding his time!"
Listening to him silently, Emma finally asks.
"Grandpa! I don't know why, but I have a feeling that, even if it becomes rarer, the people in search of the One Piece, become more and more powerful! What if one of the archdemons became the fifth yonko ? "
"In the New World, all the islands belong to the territories of the present Yonkos, except those ruled by the Navy or by the allies of the Yonkos. So, if a person also obtains a title of Yonko, he will seek to gain power, by stealing the land of the other Yonkos! and if that happens ... it might end the world. "
"In the end, the Rainbow Mist was nothing at all."
Quietly eating an ice cream, while still on Ruruka Island, Aizen was talking to a den den mushi, not caring that someone could recognize him.
" Too bad! Yet I would have thought that it was a passage which made it possible to connect the dimensions between them ! So that means that there is no interest for Widos to study it ! Okay ! It's not a problem. "
"It's starting to get boring," Aizen asserted. "It's been twenty years since we were all the mysteries of this world to find a clue related to Widos! And since then, nothing at all."
"Stop complaining! Even if it must take us a thousand years, we will keep looking for Widos and kill him! Because, both of us, we know that in three years, he will become so powerful that nobody will have the slightest chance of stopping him in his conquest of the universes ! Since your mission is over, come back immediately. "
"Yes ! " Aizen assured, with a sigh.
Then, starting to finish his ice cream, he looked at Luffy's wanted poster.
"A guy who wants to be the Pirate King? What an idiot! A guy like him, I could beat him in an instant! Still, 100 million berrys is no small thing ! I doubt anyone has a bounty higher than him. "
Digging through the wanted notices he just got today, Aizen paused, seeing a bigger reward than Luffy's.
"105 million berrys ... for a member of the Buggy's crew ? "
