A dangerous storm was raging in the surroundings of Rocky Port, the strong winds made it difficult for the ships to navigate and the dense rain prevented them from seeing the surroundings clearly.

The submarine approached with caution, due to the rain it was impossible to identify what was in their surroundings, making Bepo the one in charge of listening with his acute hearing the nearby ships while he guided them with the Eternal Pose that was given to the participants pointing straight in front of them.

What seemed like unfavorable conditions to many, turned out to be the perfect opportunity for a stealth mission.

—Hakugan, take care of keeping the Polar Tang in this same position.

—Aye!

—ROOM —With his hand he formed a giant sphere that increased in size until it was out of sight.

—SHAMBLES. —Trafalgar disappeared from the submarine taking advantage of the low visibility and stormy situation to makes his move.

—WHERE DID YOUNG TRAFALGAR GO?

The pirates raised their shoulders in surprise.

—He knows what he is doing.

—Captain must have sensed an enemy presence...

The fringed boy reached into his pocket for his data notebook to calculate who might be in the vicinity.

—AAAAAAAAH! —He shouted in terror as he pulled out a heart where he should have kept his log.

—What's wrong Clione?

—The captain changed my notes with a heart...Damn it, he should warn me, I almost had a heart attack.

—HIYA EVERYONE! TAKE OUT WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR POCKET! —Bepo commanded.

—We need to have stuff to exchange the hearts captain collects. —Everyone presents began to place trash and coins in the center of the deck.

—That's why he wanted us to stay in this position. —Sachi concluded.

Slowly, clusters of hearts with data attached to them began to appear on deck, leaving it to the boys to collect and store them inside.


Trafalgar finished invading the ships with the quieter "voices", plundering the badly wounded bodies from the clashes by taking their hearts. Now he only needed to steal that organ from those who still retained all their vitality.

After a big breath, the captain relaxed his mind and perceive the movements of the enemies while he felt the water of the rain hitting his body, the environment was chaotic and he had to be part of the chaos to go unnoticed.

Law moved with great ease in the darkness caused by the storm. When the pirates finally noticed his presence, it was already too late, using the slippery deck to move deftly towards the enemies and with few movements taking their hearts, then suddenly disappearing for a new victim.

Quickly the number of hearts increased on the deck of the submarine, reaching almost a hundred, impressing the hero by the speed with which the young captain acted.

A loud creaking of wood could be heard in the distance, the sound was the only thing that allowed them to perceive what was happening around them, the creaking came from the heights rumbling loudly indicating the collision between ships plummeting into the water.

—That's the captain's doing. —The pride they had for their leader distracted them from their surroundings being hit by a cannon.

The hero's weak and untrained haki was unable to detect the attack, as the projectiles are an object and not a presence, preventing it from fulfilling his task.

—STOP GETTING DISTRACTED, PREPARE FOR COMBAT. —Jean Bart commanded.

The incessant rain did not allow them to see the attacker, nor the direction the cannonballs came from. For the hero it was difficult, but the young men were more accustomed to that kind of sketchy situations by jumping off the deck and cut the shots in half, only guided by the sound.

—You still have a lot to learn, rookie. —Said Jean Bart.

The iron spheres impacted against the armored submarine. Judged by the angle of the shot they were able to identify the origins of the attacks, finding themselves surrounded by 2 ships with the same flag, led by the crew of one of the captains who lay unconscious and literally disheartened.

A burst of bullets coming from shotguns, assault both sides. Sudden ambushed the pirates who did not perceive where they would hit, making them feel cornered, opting to take shelter inside the facilities.

—What's going on big guy? —Byron asked the hero, who seemed a bit nervous from the attack.

—ARE THOSE BULLETS MADE OF KAIROSEKI?

—There is no way. It is an extremely difficult material to manipulate, the only ones who have control over Kairoseki is the government. —The information comforted the blond.

—Bepo, should we dive? —The bear looked frustrated, the captain's orders were to stay in the same place, they could ruin his plan by changing position.

The ship was moving wildly because of the cannons being fired worrying the uniformed men to make a decision on what would be the right move, being interrupted by the burly man who went outside to face both ships alone, behind him followed by Sachi, Jean Bart, Penguin and Bepo ready to redirect the attacks.

—BACK AWAY...

—DETROIT... SMASH! —A shockwave destroyed one of the boats, sending it in pieces across the water, people flew in all directions and the rain dispersed, revealing a figure in the sky.

—WHAT IS THAT?

A large tail of a huge reptile moved across the sky, it seemed to move through the clouds creating a spiral that was spinning faster and faster, a tornado began to form from the heights quickly connecting with the surface of the sea creating a water spout that sucked all the boats near the shore continuing with the surroundings.

Several waterspouts were formed from the clouds, destroying everything in their path, closer and closer to the submarine, the enemies ceased the attack to move away from the huge water pillars.

—CAPITAN! —The uniformed men shouted worriedly.

—QUICK, DIVE! —Jean Bart commanded.

—NO! WE WILL ALSO BE SUCKED IN. —The bear replied alarmed, seeing one of the waterspouts getting closer and closer.

The hero jumped into action causing the submarine to move violently in the water.

—SECRETARY!

—YAGI SAN!

All Might was in the air in front of the great water pilar, his power was impressive, due to the gusts of air it was impossible to maneuver being almost sucked, but the blond took advantage of those strong winds to go closer.

—PLUUUUUUUS ULTRAAAAA! —With a big smile on his face, he concentrated all his strength in one arm, hitting the water before being absorbed by the whirlwind, causing the impact to generate a huge shockwave that completely disappeared the waterspout.

The pirates saw in awe the results of his effective attack, simultaneously looking how the hero fell into the water.

—ALL MIIIIIGHT! ~The pirates celebrated in joy, now with a clear view where they could detect all of the ships.

—...

—ALL MIIIIIIIGHT?! —Their reaction took a 180° turn, shouting worriedly as they remembered that their body could be affected by the water as well as the kairoseki.

Toshinori was floating in the water not moving from his place, he was stunned watching what was forming in the heights, now with part of the sky clear he could see how a huge feathered snake was descending towards the island, each movement of his body generated a strong gust of air that made the boats hit against each other.

When he regained his composure, the hero swam back to the submarine being assisted by Sid and Monte to pull him up.

—IDIOT! YOU HAD US WORRIED!

—IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT! —The pirates were hitting him in the head while the blond was still looking at the skies.

—STUPID SECRETARY!

—WHAT IS THAT CREATURE? A DRAGON? —The soaked blond was still surprised.

—DON'T IGNORE US!

—It's trouble, we must get out of its vision. —Jean Bart said.

—The captain will take care of him... In the meantime, we must not interfere... —Bepo continued.

The pirates assured confidently, but in reality, they all looked worried.

—Wait, if we submerge and the captain continues sending hearts, they will not appear on deck… —They went back to the beginning of the problem that prevented them from moving.

—We'll have to wait a little longer...

—Oi, oi... Look over there... —Uni pointed to 9 o'clock where a navy fleet was approaching ready to catch the pirates of the race.

—HOW DID THEY FIND OUT? —Asked Penguin.

—THOSE DAMN PIGS! —Sachi exploded.

It took a few seconds for the men to react what was happening, they turned to see the hero who was clearly worried, he insisted since the beginning to not fight the navy.

The heart pirates began to whisper among themselves and sent Bepo to talk to the blond.

—Yagi... Come with me... —Bepo pointed him out.

—Everyone… Keep everything in order in the meantime... —Everyone nodded while the mechanics repaired the hits caused by the cannonballs.

The bear was followed by the hero to the captain's cabin, the room was pitch dark until the navigator lit the oil candle that illuminated the captain's cluttered desk.

—YOUNG BEPO, WON'T YOU GET IN TROUBLE FOR COMING IN HERE? —The young bear ignored the hero's words, opening a drawer to get the logbook with the Vibre Card in it.

—AYE! Here it is... take it. —Bepo extended his hand to give him the paper.

—NO, I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS, I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY PART YET. —Yagi answered with his arms raised in front of him, denying the offering.

—We all agree that you have done your part... The navy is our enemy, not yours… Let us take care of this.

The hero had the paper in his hands, not knowing whether to accept it and withdraw or continue.

Leaving the cabin, they saw how the surroundings were clearer, the remaining ships withdrew when they saw the arrival of the navy ships, only a few remained, meanwhile in the center of the city several whirlwinds and thunderstorms were unleashed destroying everything in their path.

The hero's blood boiled at the terrible spectacle before his eyes, innocent civilians were being affected by this phenomenon created by that gigantic electrified creature that descended from the skies, hitting on his way what seemed to be a person crashing against a building destroying it on impact.

—CAPITAN! —Everyone shouted in concern.

—We must go help him! —Suggested Klein.

—He told us not to interfere.

—THE PERSON THAT JUST GOT HIT…WAS THE YOUNG TRAFALGAR?

—IS EVERYTHING CAUSED BY THAT SNAKE?

—He is a pirate with Zoan fruit power, it allows him to become in some kind of animal.

—Captain Hebigami, he has the power of the mythological Zoan Hebi-Hebi fruit modeled after Quetzalcoatl. —Clione answered with the details to the blond.

—His head has a price of three hundred million berries.

—The only one who can take care of him is... —They turned to see how a great sphere surrounded the humongous serpent that evaded the slashes that were thrown at it.

—YAGI... WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? GET OUT —Bepo pushed him.

—This is none of your business anymore... —Added Penguin.

—You have what you need... Go to town and ask the marines for help.

—ARE YOU AN IDIOT? —Penguin scolded Sachi.

—DON'T ASK THE MARINES FOR HELP.

—You idiot... Remember that the navy are good the good guys... we are the bad ones. —The young man in the orca cap defended himself.

—It's not that... Listen All Might... if you're going to look for THAT person... Don't bring the marine with you. —Bepo joined the discussion.

—I SEE... HE'S A PIRATE TOO...

—No... That's not it. We can't give details, but you can expose his it's life to danger if they find out who it is. —All Might understood, giving them his complete trust.

—GOOD LUCK ALL MIGHT!

—GOOD LUCK RETURNING HOME! —They all said goodbye, but the hero did not move from his position.

The blond didn't know whether to abandon them, they had fighting skills, but the whole strength belonged to the captain who was with his hands full… But at the same time, he could not fight the navy, it was against everything he believed in.

Toshinori just clenched his fists in frustration. Should he abandon the people who took him in?

—GET OUT OF HERE YOU STUBBORN BASTARD! —Byron attacked him with his katana, shaking the hero out of his trance.

—DON'T GET SENTIMENTAL. —Clione unsheathes his katanas.

The boys directed attacks towards the hero, who would not retreat.

—We'll be fine, trust us. —Ikkaku joined the crew.

They all agreed that the hero should get off the submarine.

—Let's dive guys! Captain is in a one-on-one duel; he won't send hearts for the time being. —Ikkaku ordered following Hakugan's instructions.

They all entered giving All Might a pat on the back in farewell leaving him outside the facilities while they prepared to dive, the blond was left alone standing watching how a fleet was approaching attacking all the ships on their way.

As his last will with them, All Might intercepted the projectiles fired by the marines to let them escape. Taking a strong leap towards the island submerging the submarine with the same impulse.


Landing he witnessed the damage, there were people injured in the rubble, the situation became discouraging, he took a man in a serious condition on his arms, asking him If there was a shelter for this type of situation where he could take them. The man's breathing was weak, his eyes lost their luster causing the hero to become enraged? He should be All Might and save everyone with a smile, but it was not possible, not with all this dying people amidst the chaos.

The battle caused this… The pirates caused this. A stupid and selfish competition for money endangered a whole village. The disastrous winds and torrential rain made it difficult to find a safe area, the beaches were not safe, the forest was not safe either, and the buildings kept being knocked down... Yagi felt helpless in front of the situation.

He had to stop that snake god in the sky, but first he had to save the bodies from the rubble. Beginning his debut in a great rescue act.

—IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW... BECAUSE I AM HERE! —Exclaimed with a forced a smile, using his hero's dexterity.


—COUNTER SHOCK! —An electric shock damaged the snake's insides making it spit blood.

The rain stopped and the drops of water levitated around the body of the great feathered creature forming a slow-acting healing spiral.

_It seems that the internal attacks are affecting it more._

—TACT! —Rubble began to levitate around at all heights.

The pirate jumped among the debris, while the snake tried to eat him, Trafalgar took advantage of the proximity of Hebigami to direct all the stones around him.

—CHAAHKRAGE! —The snake shouted, writhing and spurting an uncontrollable aqua jet around him to deflect all the rocks that were about to hit him.

—SHAMBLES! —The brunet changed his location with the debris that was in the surroundings being surprised by Hebigami managing to be caught by its tail crushing his body as if it were a boa constrictor.

—YOUR ATTACKS ARE BECOMING REPETITIVE AND EASY TO DECIPHER... TRAFALGAR LAW

—TEEEXAS... SMASH! —A uppercut hit the snake's snout, the power of the blow and the blast it created shattered his jaw causing him to lose control of his body, releasing the pirate who began to fall in a bad shape.

The hero used the debris that fell around him to move towards the pirate who upon noticing the presence of the hero quickly transported himself to the ground before receiving his help.

—YOUNG LAW... YOU ARE PRETTY STUBBORN —Grumbled All Might.

—I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP. —The pirate's hat was mostly red dyed as half of his face was covered in blood, holding his injured arm and avoiding resting his weight on one leg.

—Shit... I think I've got some broken bones...

—LOOKS LIKE HE NEEDS A LITTLE HELP...

-I just need a breath —He protested in annoyance...

—YOUNG TRAFALGAR... I NEED YOUR HELP... —He answered him with an annoyed look.

—I NEED YOU TO HELP ME RELOCATE THE WOUNDED IN THIS AREA... WITH YOUR SKILL IT WON'T BE A DIFFICULT TASK.

A jet of pressurized water rushed towards them destroying everything in its path, both jumped in opposite directions to avoid it.

A few blows in the air were heard in the distance, ending in the snake's twisted snout.

Several marines approached the scene in search of wounded. All Might got up to help them as well, but the snake quickly regained its posture trying to eat something in the air.

A figure moved through the sky connecting a few blows that seemed to do him little harm on the mythical snake.

One strike intercepted with the unknown attacker being shot at high speed into the ground causing the impact to shatter the floor.

A young man with lilac hair and glasses wearing a marine uniform struggled up from the hole that caused his impact, pressing the back of his head detecting blood on his hand, then turning to the side seeing both figures, a world-renowned pirate part of the worst generation badly wounded and a muscular stranger with some very strange "voices" nearby.

—SURGEON OF DEATH... TRAFALGAR LAW... —The young marine answered seriously.

The hero clenched his fists, he also wanted to join the fight, but the pirate did not want to him to rob his prey.

—ROOM —Trafalgar created a huge sphere that surrounded half the island.

—SCAN

—SHAMBLES

All the wounded and marines were relocated to the shore of the beach near the ships including the young man and the hero, disturbing him instantly.

_WHY SHOULD HE BE SO PROUD_ He jumped on the spot back to the encounter area.

The big man landed hard back in front of the brunet, smashing part of the ground, his smile was gone, he was annoyed with the captain... despite being grateful, he feared the encounter could end his life.

—I don't need ha... ha... More interference... The villagers are safe... Let me finish him alone.

—I REFUSE

—YOU MUST GO BACK TO YOUR CREW, THEY ARE WORRIED, I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.

—THEY NEED YOU!

A waterspout was created in the center of town and split into 3, sweeping everything away, creating 6 meter deep ruts in its path.

—THE MORE THIS GOES ON, THE LESS WILL BE LEFT OF THIS POOR VILLAGE. —He commented angrily, wishing to end this as soon as possible.

The giant snake moved along the ground throwing its feathers like needles, being avoided by the pirate's sword protecting the hero as well.

—THANK YOU

—JUST GET AWAY ALREADY!

—XIBALBA —An anthropomorphic figure of a 3meter man full of scales and a large plume moved at an impressive speed towards them, causing his path to burst into flames including him, throwing his feathers that exploded everything they came in contact with, turning the environment into a scene similar to hell itself.

—I WON'T LEAVE UNTIL THE THREAT IS GONE. —The blond claimed, avoiding the attacks, heading straight for the anthropomorphic snake.

Law clicked his tongue in disapproval, being restrained by a new presence that attacked him directly, parrying the blow with his nodachi.

—DON'T INTERFERE! —Law shouted to the lilac-haired marine, becoming increasingly annoyed by the interruptions.

—GO BACK TO ASSIST THE WOUNDED.

All Might saw the anthropomorphic figure of the enemy as an easier opportunity to weaken him. Having a 1 vs 1 battle with pure brute force he managed to connect most of the blows with the enemy, trying not to push him away to prevent him from returning to his colossal form.

Hebigami felt at a disadvantage, the strength and speed of his opponent surpassed him in his hybrid form even though the Zoan gave them more endurance and strength, he was not a worthy opponent to face the hero in that transformation.

—XIBALBA! —Hebigami shot his feathers against the blond exploding in his body and burning him consequently.

—AAAAAAAAAAAGH —All Might didn't let his burning body stop him from continuing the punch combo he was giving to the pirate, wanting to extinguish the fire in his body, he gave him a strong blow to end it all, sending him flying against 12 buildings.

The fire was different, it was not extinguished by the gust of air created by the impact so the hero began to roll on the ground to extinguish the flames, but it was useless.

A quantity of water suddenly fell on the hero remaining levitating around him avoiding the burns to be serious.

—Don't move Toshinori-ya... It is the same water that Hebigami uses to treat his wounds.

—THANK YOU YOUNG MAN —Trafalgar just looked at him with disdain, being accompanied by the marine behind his back.

A series of tornadoes formed, the great feathered serpent came out of them and headed back to the heights, a crown of feathers began to spin on his neck extending all over his body as if they were rings on a planet, protecting his body and at the same time expelling them towards the people present.

—TACT —The dark-haired man used his ability, lifting the debris again to intercept the feathers, generating explosions all around the periphery.

—I have a plan, but I need your help. —requested the young sailor.

Koby understood that they were after the same objective and the surgeon of death did not represent a threat to the residents of Rocky Port as he saved them from continuing in the middle of the battlefield, deciding to leave the rivalry aside willing to cooperate with the 2 men.

Both heroes were transported to the heights around the head of the badly wounded snake as Trafalgar appeared in front of the snout of the huge creature.

—CHAAHKRAGE —He prepared his attack to strike straight at the captain with his aquajet, while his body created gusts of air around it as protection.

—CALIFORNIA SMAASH. —All Might's voice was heard below the head, at the same time that the pink-haired marine hit with a strong blow the upper part of the snout, making Hebigami being affected internally by his own attack, damaging his organs and writhing in pain, falling slowly from the heights.

On the other hand, Trafalgar was looking for a way to immobilize it in its entirety, changing his position with one of the feathers locating itself in the center of its back.

—Gamma Knife! —The brunet covered his sword with electricity in a technique similar to his Counter Chock move, cutting his enemy, causing him to split into several linear pieces, while he was paralyzed and his remains fell to the ground.

The attack inhibited his transformation changing the long reptilian strips to his human form. The badly wounded surgeon reached out to grab his heart, finally knocking him out of the fight.

The victorious trio regained their breath on the ground, being the young man with the plush hat the most wounded for being in battle for a longer time, followed by the marine who noticed that he had a broken bone or two, while the blond was wearing his shredded clothes with some burns on his skin.

Trafalgar was watching the young marine with an intimidating look.

—Do you intend to arrest me? —Said the pirate grabbing the hilt of his nodachi.

Koby analyzed the surroundings, the houses were totally destroyed, the inert body of Captain Hebigami laid in pieces on the ground, but above all there were no civilians around.

—Thank you for relocating the wounded... —He thanked the captain sincerely, keeping a few minutes of silence and then timidly asked a question out of context.

—Excuse me Trafalgar Law... Mr. Luffy-sa... Straw hat... Is he all right? —Hesitantly asked, to which the pirate only reacted surprised.

—The last time I saw him, he was still alive, the rest is up to him...

—That... Does that mean he's well? THAT'S GREAT? I mean! That will be a problem! —He corrected relieved while scratching the back of his head.

—Oi, Toshinori-ya, don't you want to go with the marine?

—I don't think that's a good idea —Replied the young lieutenant.

—He's not a pirate, he's a citizen... —The surgeon of death clarified.

—Ah! Then if he needs help, we can provide it. —He answered with high spirits.

—I NEED TO GET TO A LOCATION, BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE IT IS...

—Oh... We can take you on a ship to some nearby islands if that's of any use to you, but we're not allowed to make personal trips... I'm sorry.

—I UNDERSTAND, I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. —The blond man replied in gratitude.

—Let's go... Someone dangerous is approaching... I can't fight in this state.

—EH?

—Do you have a problem traveling with us a little longer?

The hero just smiled in relief and shook his head. He was familiar with the crew and they respected his ideals, but most of all they agreed to provide him with assistance.

Law transported to the submarine along with Yagi, all his nakamas inside were celebrating the return of their nakamas and the medics came over to assist them. Trafalgar stopped the team before they began to treat their wounds handing them the last heart, smiling for their victory.

—100. —Penguin took the organ from the captain's hand, feeling relieved.

—It's time to go... It's done.

—WHAT IS TOSHINORI-SAN DOING HERE? —Asked Monte.

—We'll take him where he needs to go.

—NOOO!

—WHAT A SHAME!

—DAMN IT —They all smiled as they complained loudly, failing to hide their true feelings.

—Toshinori-san, come on, I'll take measurements to make you a uniform. —Firmin said

—NO, IT'S NOT NECESSARY...

—Come on, don't be shy; but first let's take care of this wounds.

—Captain, we've resupplied! With the supplies from the enemy ships, we will be able to sail without problems for up to 2 weeks.

—Why are we taking him? Since when we became some kind of transportation service. —Complained the rookie.

—You know, we can't let the navy know that location.

—YOUNG TRAFALGAR... YOU KNEW THEY WOULDN'T TAKE ME, DIDN'T YOU? —The captain just looked at him with disdain.

—Toshinori-ya... The vibre card —Asked the dark-haired man.

—HOW DID YOU KNOW I HAD IT? —He asked quizzically.

—Captain gave the indication to give it to you if we had contact with the navy. —Confessed the bear.


The Polar Tang left Rocky Port through the depths to avoid problems on the way, the pirates were anxious to begin the celebration once they emerged on safe zone, an hour on route was enough to lose sight of enemies and with their full provisions they could afford to have a great feast.

The hero finally after 2 days of travel could take that well deserved shower he so longed for, cooling the slight burns and getting rid of that sticky feeling of the salt water. He took his time to look at himself in the mirror, everything that was happening was surreal.

He searched through the bathroom drawers for something he could use to fix his hairstyle, but found nothing that would work for him, Yagi sighed and proceeded to change into the casual outfit that Firmin made. Leaving the bathroom with black cargo pants, black sneakers, a light gray t-shirt and fluffy hair still drying it with the towel looking for a specific crew member.

He went out on deck looking at the cheerful crew with several plates of food and sharing jars of beer, feeling how they pushed him towards the rest.

—Come on Yagi, join the celebration.

—NO THANKS, I JUST WANT TO REST A LITTLE BIT.

—You'll rest when you're dead, come with us, this is just beginning.

—Yagi, we've been waiting for you brother, join the toast.

—AYE AYE

—NO YOUNG MEN, I DON'T DRINK.

—Come on, just one, it's okay.

The blond guy looked for a place near the man with pompadour.

—Excuse me young Byron, don't you have any product I could borrow to fix my hair? —He tried to modulate his voice pointing to his fluffy hair.

—Hahahahaha! —The young man could not contain his laughter at the hero's shy question.

—It's quite simple, sea water, sweat and a little honey or sugar water will petrify that hair of yours. —The hero just looked disgusted and displeased with the look on his face.

—What's so funny guys? —Ikkaku approached with a jar with water for the remaining partner.

—The big guy can't fix his hairstyle and is disgusted by putting sugar water on his scalp.

The girl put her hands on her hips and let out some air, smiling slightly.

—Well, we can improvise.

—WHERE IS THE CAPTAIN? —All Might asked while his hair was being combed by Ikkaku who braided his long locks backwards, tousling them a little on his forehead to leave a few small strands

—Still treating his wounds, it won't take long. —Sid answered, not leaving Ikkaku's side.

—You just need a bow tie to make you look like a full commodore. —Sid mocked at Yagi's new hairstyle

—Leave him alone, it looks... It doesn't look ~that~ bad. —Said Klein.

The bandaged captain came out from his cabin ready to join the celebration.

—CAPTAAAIN! A Few Words! —The pirates cheered, standing up with their jars raised.

—No need, with this victory we are closer to achieving our goal. —He pronounced wearily.

—FOR GETTING CLOSER TO OUR GOAL! KAMPAII! —The heart pirates raised and clinked their jars, accustomed to the party pooper that their captain was, they did not delay in singing and dancing happily, starting the feast.

~Binkusu no sake wo todoke ni yuku yo

~Umikaze kimakase namimakase

~Shio no mukou de yuuhi mo sawagu

~Sora nya wa wo kaku tori no uta

The blond recognized the melody that Sachi hummed to break the silence the day this voyage began, it seemed a cheerful pirate song that enlivened the trips, letting himself be carried away by the attitude of the pirates trying to join the celebration. The hero smiled at the ridiculous dance of his temporary comrades, for then taken by the shoulders by Monte and Bepo, joining the dance to be embarrassed with the rest.

The hours passed and the pirates felt tired and plump after ravaging Monte's delicacies.

—Captain, with Toshinori in the crew... Won't it be easier to defeat Doflamingo?

—No. Doing that is declaring a war on Kaido, we can't face him... All in its time, for now we need to deliver those hearts to the navy and get the Shichibukai position.

—But we still don't know where the SAD factory is located.

—For the now we will continue with the route, and leave Toshinori-ya where they can provide him help. The Vibre Card shows that the way is not so far from the navy headquarters, it will only be a small detour, then we will investigate the information about the SAD laboratory whereabouts.

There were a few pirates lying on deck watching the stars, the sea was calm so they did not waste the moment to relax, however part of the crew was a little tense, trying to distract themselves doing work without saying a word.

Toshinori decided to break the silence when he felt the tension of his companions.

—EXCUSE THE DIRECTNESS OF MY QUESTION… IS THIS TENSION BECAUSE OF THE PERSON WE ARE LOOKING FOR? —A shiver ran down everyone's spine while hearing his concern, deciding to turn a deaf ear.

—Just give up…I don't know who it is, but they always avoid the subject. —Sid answered.

—I SEE…

—YOUNG BEPO, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THE TRIP WILL TAKE?

—We don't know how long will it take or the place the vibre card is pointing... but it's in that direction. —Replied the bear pointing straight ahead of him.

—That's all we know... I'm sorry. —He apologized in embarrassment.

—THERE IS NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE, YOU ARE DOING AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB. —He said, causing the bear to blush.

—AYE AYE!

The hero was not nervous or confused, they were all blank as was he. Only time would tell them where and with whom they were headed.

The captain went out on deck to get some of the cool night air to help him clear his thoughts as the submarine was sweltering. Looking at everyone's attitude he noticed, he wasn't the only one uneasy.

—YOUNG TRAFALGAR.

—Don't ask him anything! —The pirates thought, raising their arms in the form of an "X".

The captain raised an eyebrow as he notices how everyone looked at them, deducing the blond's intentions.

—We are going with an Oracle. —He said without giving more details.

—I SEE... IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL BE OF GREAT HELP. —He said with his characteristic smile.

The pirate looked worried with a with a drop sliding down his face from his uneasiness.

—ETO... YOUNG TRAFALGAR, COULD YOU TEACH ME HOW TO USE THE HAKI? —He asked a little embarrassed trying to change the subject.

—Don't you think we already done enough for you? —The captain denied annoyed.

—AH YES, I'M SORRY, YOU'RE RIGHT. —The blond apologized, turning into a fountain of sweat at the brunet's abrupt rejection of his request. But that wouldn't stop the hero from continuing to insist when he had the chance.


Sundancer here:

We are half way through the first part, I will try to publish a chapter every third day.

If there are English words that I keep using incorrectly, please tell me; I'm still practicing.
