The Captain of Straw Hat Pirate was now sitting cross-legged on the Thousand Sunny's head, leaning his back with his arms folded he stared towards the West.
The Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, who is now known to the world as one of the Sea Emperors named Monkey D. Luffy, was enjoying the morning breeze and the sight of dawn decorating the sky with its beautiful reddish light before his eyes caught a black silhouette from a distance.
Luffy leaned forward and narrowed his eyes slightly to focus on a silhouette still several kilometers away. Realizing what the silhouette was, Luffy immediately smiled happily before standing up while jumping for joy.
He turned around and saw his orange-haired Navigator chatting on deck with a black-haired women who is an Archaeologist. Both of them are women who have a beautiful long hair.
"Oy, Nami! I see an island!"
Luffy shouted in an excited tone. After a week of swinging in the ocean, facing all the attacks of nature and enemies in the New World, they finally found an island to anchor and explore!
Hearing Luffy shouting at her, Nami got up from the deck and walked towards the helm. The place where their new crew is known as the First Son of the Sea, Jinbei is at the helm because he is their helmsman.
Nami looked to the side, right above the railing, then checked the Log Pose worn on her left arm like a bracelet. One of the three Log Pose needles moves steadily pointing towards the island whose silhouette is already visible. Safe place, i guess? She thought.
"Phew, finally an Island. If I estimate, in about 3 hours we will definitely arrive at the island." Nami stated her estimate in a calm tone.
Nami heard a short thud, caused by Luffy who had just jumped from the top of the Thousand Sunny's head to where the helm of the ship was, standing next to Nami with a big smile on his face, Luffy looked at Nami with a twinkle while clenching his fists to the top.
"I wonder what kind of Island is that? I smell a fun adventure!" There was a mix of impatience and enthusiasm in Luffy's voice.
As they got closer to the Island, the Straw Hat Pirates could see the shape of the Island which was now becoming clearer. The Island is large, has towering cliffs and hills at the back.
On the main side or the front of the island, there are Harbors and Docks. And behind that Harbors, they can see luxurious and simple buildings that constitute an Urban Area.
Meanwhile, behind it there are cliffs and hills covered with dense forest, several letter boards reading "HAZINA" are displayed separately in the middle of the hills. This object must be very big because even without binoculars, Luffy and his crew can see the letters even though they are still some distance from the Island.
Reading the several board, Luffy and his crew deduce that the island is probably called Hazina Island.
The North and South sides of the Urban Area are also surrounded by forests, but not as thick as the forests in the hills. This forest is also filled with many Tree Houses built on each branch of the big tree, indicating that this place is also inhabited by many people. Long-nosed man, Usopp, looked around the island from his binoculars, the dock was large and filled with many ships anchored.
Combing around the island, the Straw Hat Pirates could clearly see the towering clock tower in the middle of the city with a Black Flag flying and standing tall on the tower.
Black Flag, a Jolly Roger that is impossible for anyone not to know especially Luffy, One of the Four Sea Emperors.
Red Hair Pirate, Shanks.
It seemed like they had arrived at one of the islands affiliated with the pirate group that Luffy greatly admired and respected, making the raven hair who wearing a straw hat look in disbelief.
"Is Shanks here?! This is bad! Let's just look for another island! I still can't meet Shanks now, I'm not the Pirate King, not yet!" A slight panic appeared in his mind, Luffy walked around anxiously before Nami grabbed his collar, stopping his step, clearly irritated by his behavior.
"Calm down, Luffy." Luffy's eyes which looked worried with furrowed eyebrows, now looked at Usopp who started talking to him while looking at the dock and harbor of the island with his binoculars.
"This island is affiliated with Shanks, but I didn't see any ships belonging to your Shanks." He continued before Luffy's eyes met Usopp's, hearing what Usopp said make Luffy calmed down knowing he wouldn't meet Shanks here, not now.
..
They finally decided to anchor at the island's docks. Before finding out that the island was affiliated with Shanks, they intended to go around the island, anchoring on the other side to avoid problems or anxiety among the residents because now they were not just pirates, people were starting to recognize them or more precisely Luffy as One of the Four Sea Emperors, just like Shanks.
"Don't worry, Shanks is my friend as long as we don't get into trouble everything will be fine! Of course, we are not here to look for trouble either, right?"
That's what Luffy said the moments before they decided to dock, he said it with a relaxed and confident smile that made his entire crew have no choice but to believe him, they were just here to restock supplies anyway.
When they finally docked, many pairs of eyes stared at them. From the gazes of those people, the Straw Hat Pirates were sure that these people definitely knew who they were. However, they only stared at the Straw Hat Pirates for a while before they looked away and started going back to their personal activities as if they didn't mind if the Straw Hat Pirates docked there.
This made the entire crew except Luffy sigh in relief. Luffy already knew everything would be fine and was more focused on looking at the port which was busy with people because that place was also used as a market. And more importantly, he really couldn't hold back his patience to get off the ship and go on an adventure on the island!
Luffy wants to go around this Island, exploring all the places up to the hills behind the town. The Forest who filled with tree houses on the North and South sides of the Urban Area is what attracts his attention and curiosity the most.
"Okay, it's time for us to divide the tasks." Nami said, her eyes glancing over the rest of the crew on deck when she noticed one of them was missing. All eyes immediately looked towards the dock, including Nami. Not even 5 minutes before docking, without anyone realizing it, Luffy had jumped off the ship, ran towards the port and disappeared in the crowd.
Nami patted her forehead, sighing tired of her Captain's behavior, "That idiot .. Geez .. Whatever, just another day. Leave that idiot alone."
They were used to Luffy's free nature. Of course, it is impossible to see him stay in one place on an island for more than 5 minutes because he is always full of enthusiasm and desire to explore and have an adventure on every new island he visits.
Nami began to divide the tasks. Nami, Robin, Chopper will buy equipment or objects that the Crew personally want or need. Sanji, Jinbe, and Brook will buy food and drink supplies. Franky, and Zoro will stay to guard the ship, the island looks quite peaceful but they still can't let their guard down.
And after they divided the tasks, those who had task outside the ship began to leave, leaving Franky and Zoro in charge of guarding the Thousand Sunny. Even though it was just a ship, the Straw Hat Pirates considered the Thousand Sunny as one of their precious friend.
Luffy ran around the town looking around him in awe, he liked being on an island he had never been to, it made his heart beat happily to explore and see new things. He looked at every luxurious building and some were quite simple in every corner of the town, and every time his eyes looked here and there, Luffy always saw symbols in the shape of Treasure Chests that decorated every shop, tavern, building and anything he passed. In fact, there are also fake treasure chests displayed on every side of the town.
Makes Luffy think, why are there so many symbols like that on this island, do the residents like Treasure Chests or something?
Well, whatever the reason, it actually had nothing to do with Luffy so he quickly put the thought aside. The first thing Luffy has to do is not think but eat! His impatience and enthusiasm made him so hungry that his stomach growled, he had already had breakfast on the ship before docking but why he have to care about that? If he wants to eat, he will eat!
Luffy visited several food stalls and bought many types of food that he couldn't name one by one, which he finished in less than a minute after buying them. He run out of money inside his pocket after he's full, leaving only the white bag. It made him remember Nami saying something about saving the money but...
Oh ..—
Luffy's face broke out in cold sweat thinking about what his Navigator would do to him if she knew about this, but his thoughts were immediately diverted after his eyes stared at the clock tower towering high right in front of him.
"WOOOOW! HOW COOOOOL!"
Luffy's eyes lit up, this wasn't the first time he had seen the clock tower but still every time he saw it Luffy couldn't help but admire it, it was too cool!
Looking back at the surroundings, his eyes finally reached the north side of the town, a forest filled with Tree Houses. The Tree House always reminded him of one of The most precious memories in his life. It didn't take long for Luffy to start running to the forest on the North side of the town to see the place more clearly.
On the same day, a few minutes after the Thousand Sunny docked on the island, there was another large ship which was the same size as the Thousand Sunny but was far from being as luxurious as the Thousand Sunny, just an ordinary wooden ship.
The ship was some distance away from where the Thousand Sunny was, anchored at the island's dock. Someone opened the door of the ship and stood on the deck looking at the island, his blonde hair reflected the sunlight on him, making his hair shine a little brighter in the sunlight.
His short, slightly wavy hair swayed in the slight wind. His green robe also fluttered in the wind, revealing the blue shirt and vest he wore under his robe, his white cravat, and a pair of goggles hanging around his neck just above his cravat. Wearing the hood of the cloak he wore over his head and sunglasses covering his eyes, the blonde man smiled charmingly.
"Well.."
His eyes immediately fell on the side of the forest which was filled with many tree houses above it, which immediately caught his attention.
"Time for take a walk.."
..
A few moments after the blonde got off the ship, two people came out of the door that the blonde man had previously passed through as well. The two stood on the deck, one of them looking annoyed based on her facial expression.
"Ah! Even though I only let my guard down for a moment and he left again as he pleased!" A girl with short brown hair shouted angrily as she stomped one of her feet on the deck, she clenched her fist and said she would hit the blonde on the head when she found him.
"Calm yourself Koala, you know this has become his habit, it's useless if we reprimand him, all our words will only go in his right ear and straight out his left ear." Fishman tried to calm the girl down with a calm and reassuring tone.
"Right, yeah.." Koala sighed trying to get rid of her annoyance, but she was really going to hit the blonde once when she found him later, "Okay Hack, let's just buy some food and drink. Besides, that kid is hard to rely on in this matter."
"Yeah, besides, he's been working a lot lately. Too much, in fact. Let's just say he's on vacation, and let him go wherever he want for a while."
The two of them looked into each other's eyes and exchanged small smiles at each other, wearing hoods from the same green cloak that the blonde was wearing. They both finally got off the ship to buy lots of things on the island.
..
On the other hand, the blonde is now walking leisurely around the city first. There were several street performances in the city which stopped him in his tracks but after that he went back around and arrived right at the gate to the forest filled with tree houses in the northern part of the island, he entered the gate and looked around.
This place has an interesting feel, as if being pulled into another world. Under the trees there are many shops and other buildings like in the town, but the place is filled with tree shadows and a wooden tree house above which is decorated with various furniture. It gives the impression of a cool atmosphere when walking because the sun is covered by trees and tree houses.
The many ornamental plants on the road also add to the cool impression of this place, and of course the display in the form of a treasure chest makes this place very memorable for him.
With a relaxed smile on his face, the blonde was enjoying this place more than the town, with the hoodie and glasses he wore keeping his striking face and hair out of sight and out of the way, truly the perfect disguise for walking around.
Now he can't just show himself to the public, especially after there was a fake murder case involving him, and not just because he was the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army. Although now he also has nickname called Flame Emperor.
Honestly, that nickname made him happy and proud of himself and the strength he inherited from his brother, "Huh, it seems I've been too tired lately that I've been thinking about you all the time without realizing it... Ace." Sabo grinned widely, he muttered to himself.
Without realizing it, since he got his memory back two years ago, he often mumbles and talks to himself when no one is paying attention. It automatically made him feel very calm for no apparent reason.
His mind completely diverted his gaze and attention until without realizing it he had collided with someone who had just run straight towards him from the intersection Sabo was about to pass.
Sabo almost fell backwards before he could stop himself by taking a step, and dragging one leg backwards while the person he hit or hit him fell, sitting on the ground. Sabo, who was still a bit surprised, looked at the person who had fallen, a man like him.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, are you okay?" Sabo approached and stretched out his hand to the man who was sitting on the ground because of the fall. Sabo saw that he had fallen quite hard.
"Are you hurt?"
The one sitting on the ground hold his outstretched hand, Sabo didn't immediately realize it but now he saw the Straw Hat which is familiar to him hanging behind the man's neck.
"Shishi! Excuse me! I was too excited to see the road properly too, I'm fine."
Eh.. Wait — This voice —
The one who fell finally raised his head showing an innocent grin and a cute giggle, "I hope you're not hurt too."
That voice, that innocent smile, and that black hair.. His Straw Hat.. And the scar under his left eye.. I can't believe I've met you here since our last meeting in Dressrosa.—
Sabo pulled his hand that was holding him with a gentle tug, making him stand on his feet, Sabo gave a sincere smile to the man in front of him, "I'm fine, it's nice to see you again."
The man seemed to flinch softly, his eyes widening slowly when he heard his voice more clearly.
"Again?"
His face was questioning now that their eyes met, Sabo still held the man's hand tightly and with the other hand he took off the glasses he was wearing.
"What? I'm so sad, have you forgotten your brother's face, already? Even though it must have only been a few months since our last meeting."
"You're making your brother a bit hurt, Lu." Sabo spoke and chuckled softly, the tone sounding fakely sad.
Luffy was stunned looking at the man in front of him, the man's voice sounded familiar to his ears.
Hearing him call himself "Brother" infront of Luffy and call Luffy as "Lu" make Luffy raised his eyebrows. Even though the man's head was covered by a hood, at a glance Luffy could still see his short, wavy blonde hair, making some figure slowly appear in his mind.
Right after the man took off his glasses, he could see his face clearly, Luffy knew him very well!
He knew him too well that by now he would have made an expression of surprise like an some idiotic in his Big Brother's eyes.
"S-S-Sa..—!" His eyes traced the man's face, remembering the beginning of their reunion several months ago which was touching and made Luffy wince every time he thought about it.
Sometimes, the burns that were clearly visible on his left eye made his heart feel tight.
"Sabo!"
His surprised face turned into a smile that slowly widened, he pulled Sabo into his arms so tightly like there is no tomorrow to meet each other again.
"Long time no see, Sabo! I'm so happy to meet you here!" Luffy exclaimed happily, Luffy could feel Sabo hug him back and pat him on the back.
The last time Luffy heard news about Sabo was from the News Coo, saying that Sabo killed the King of Alabasta, Nefertari Cobra. The father of his friend, Vivi. But, of course Luffy doesn't believe this random news, he knows and trusts Sabo better than news that is only written on a piece of newspaper.
"I'm glad to see you here too." They both let go of their hugs and immediately did a crossed High-Five while smiling at each other.
Sabo withdrew his hand and scratched the back of his neck as if he had just remembered something, his eyes looking nervous, "Hey, Lu."
"Uh? What's wrong, Sabo?" Luffy stopped giggling and looked curiously at Sabo's sudden change in behavior.
"You know, maybe you've read about me.." Sabo sounded a little hesitant and his eyes flashed with fear as he looked away from Luffy, "T-.. The news say that I killed King Alabasta, that's actually—"
"I trust you."
Luffy said with a serious look and tone of voice, Sabo's eyes widened and looked into Luffy's round eyes.
Luffy gave a wide grin, "Sabo— My brother would never do something like that. I know you better than that damn newspaper." The look of fear in Sabo's eyes immediately disappeared.
In Sabo's perspective, Luffy hadn't seen him for a long time, so he was afraid that Luffy would doubt his character. Hearing that from Luffy and how he look at Sabo without hesitation and full of confidence in him make Sabo feel moved.
"I see.. Thank you." Even though they only met again a few months ago, Luffy never lost the slightest trust in Sabo, he was very happy that Luffy never questioned his character for the slightest. Sabo then ruffled Luffy's hair gently, and Luffy found himself enjoying the affection his older brother gave him.
"Shishishi, don't think about it! Rather than that, why are you here, Sabo?" The younger asked, his voice full of joy, his smile didn't fade even for a second, looking at his older brother with unbearable joy.
"Yeah, I just finished some business." Before going to this island, Sabo had actually just completed a secret mission that Dragon had given him with Koala and Hack.
Currently Sabo is on his way back to Peachy Island, but has to stop by this island to restock the ship. However, Sabo leaves the task to Koala and Hack and then secretly escapes from the ship to walk around.
Luffy tilted his head, smiled and jumped up and down like a rabbit, "Really? So you're not busy now?" The younger asked again, as if he wanted to say something if Sabo said he wasn't busy.
Sabo thought for a moment while watching his little brother's cute behavior, even though he was proud of his little brother who is now a big man in the pirate world.
It's feels nice to know, there are still some things about him that haven't changed since he was little, Luffy is really his sweet little brother, he just wouldn't say it out loud to Luffy.
"No, my business is finished and I'm quite free right now. Why do you ask?"
Sabo knows for sure that Koala and Hack are currently shopping for their supplies for the trip later, so let's just say they have finished handling that matter, right? right?
"Then come take a walk with me! The last time we met we didn't have some time to spend together." Invite Luffy, he's been thinking about spending time with Sabo for a long time since their last reunion, and today he finally got to invite him.
Sabo gives a smile when Luffy invite him to have a walk and spend time together. Sabo was really happy. He was also thinking the same thing that Luffy had been thinking all this time. Nothing wrong with spending a little time with his Little Brother, right?
"Sure, let's tour around the island together."
"Hooray!" Luffy cheered happily, so happy that he jumped up to cheer.
"Let's go, Sabo!" Luffy walks ahead of Sabo who then immediately followed Luffy and walked beside him.
To be continued.
