" LUFFY ! LUFFY ! LUFFY ! "
Suddenly opening a door, Luffy appeared outside the Merry, with a sack of flour in his hand.
"Here is my latest transformation..." He affirmed.
Then, he blew up the bag and left himself deliberately covered in flour, to take on the appearance of an ice statue.
" ICE-LUFFY ! "
Immediately, Usopp, Chopper, Menma, and Yosaku started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA! The comparison is perfect."
Seeing them do this, Azelma couldn't help but feel a drop of sweat appear behind her head.
"I...I find it a bit strange to make humor about it, when he almost froze to death."
"Never try to understand Luffy." Nami retorted.
" Nami-swan ... Lucy-chan ... Vivi-san ... Raynare-sama ... Velvet-swama ... Robin-chan ... "
Arriving with several plates in his hands, Sanji presented them to the women of the crew.
"I made you some potato snacks! Hope you enjoy."
"Honestly, I don't remember you ever disappointing us with your food, Sanji." Lucy assured him, taking one of the plates.
"Thank you, Lucy-chan." Sanji shouted, with hearts in place of his eyes.
Then, seeing the other women start helping themselves, Sanji turned to Azelma.
"Azelma nee-san, here's to you."
Seeing him also handing her a plate, Azelma bowed to him.
"Thank you so much for the kindness you have shown me."
Hearing him speak like he was a god, Sanii couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Huh...thank you...but..."
"I…Sorry." Azelma apologized. "Usually, when I wanted to eat, I had to constantly beg my former master to allow me to eat leftovers."
"Don't think about your old life and that asshole who thinks he's superior to other humans." Sanji retorted, handing her her plate and a fork. "Today you are free! So behave like an ordinary woman! This is the best life anyone could ever dream of."
Remaining silent at first, Azelma ends up sticking her fork into her food, before eating a bite. Immediately, her whole body shuddered as she screamed.
" Delicious. "
"Glad you like it."
Turning to the mast of the ship, against which Shun-Day was leaning, Azelma waved at her.
"Shun-day! Come eat."
Taking a step towards her mother, Shun-Day looked at the food and had no trouble smelling a delicious smell. However, knowing that she had been cooked by Sanji, the girl ended up stopping before looking away.
Seeing that she was still having trouble with the adults of the crew, Sanji said.
" Menma ... "
In an instant, the girl appeared in front of Sanji, already staring hungrily at the food.
"Is it time to eat?"
"Here." Sanji told her, handing her two plates.
Seizing them immediately, Menma hastened to run to a secluded area. Seeing her do this, Shun-Day hesitated for a few moments, before starting to follow her. Noting this, Azelma sighed.
"I can't convince my daughter to trust others...so how could I manage to save Mary Geoise's slaves?"
"Everything in its time." Sanji retorted. "Nothing can be done right if it's sloppy! Trust me ! Shun-Day will eventually trust us and we'll help you free your friends."
"Speaking of which, do you have a strategy in mind?" Nami asked. "I mean...Mary Geoise is dubbed as being an inviolable place."
" I don't really have a plan in mind. " Azelma confessed. "In truth, because of my atrophied legs, I did not really plan to succeed in this mission! For me, it was just a way of dying, without feeling the slightest regret! Nevertheless, Mary Geoise is not a place inviolable! There was already an attack there, which allowed the slaves of the time to be free."
" Really ? "
"Yes! This attack was organized by two men, who became heroes within the slave community! The first, the one who organized this plan, was Fisher Tiger, a fishman who was once a slave! And the second, the one who wanted to take advantage of this attack to exterminate the Tenryubitos was Zarax, the god of genocide."
"Zarax?" Wondered several people.
"I heard Enel talking about him." Nami affirmed. "Apparently he had a huge amount of respect for him."
"He was also part of Gol D. Roger's crew." Vivi said. "He was a man who was so feared that the Navy did everything to erase his name from history! In Alabasta, only the royal family still have memories of him! He is known to have fathered enormous massacres, hence his nickname! Because of this, I doubt that Zarax is a good person."
Hearing this, Azelma widened her eyes for a moment, before gritting her teeth. Then, managing to regain her composure, she retorted.
"Zarax-sama and Tiger-sama...for any slave, they are heroes! Truth be told, it's only because of their actions in the past that the slaves have any hope! They have hope that a day, other people decide to act like them and come to save them! I... I too wanted these men to come and save me! I prayed to him every day, for three years."
listening to this, Sanji and the women saw her look down, as they didn't know what to say to comfort her. at that moment, also being able to smell the food, Luffy and the others ran towards Sanji.
"Sanji! I'm hungry!"
" Me too ! "
"I want potatoes."
"Wait your turn." Growled the cook.
"Potato! Potato! Potato!" the men insisted.
Seeing this, Azelma raised her head, before whispering.
" Luffy-sama ... "
"Huh?" Luffy wondered, looking at the former slave.
Starting to smile again, Azelma told him.
" Thank you so much. "
" Huh ? "
Remembering Zoro's words, Azelma affirmed.
"I too want to live as a free woman."
Not really understanding the reason for her thanks, Luffy only smiled at her, while declaring.
"I'm glad to hear that."
But while life on the Merry seemed to be normal, someone stood thoughtful. Simply looking at her food, Robin didn't touch it.
" No matter where you go, you will only bring bad luck to people who have the bad idea to consider you their friend. "
Remembering Aokiji's words, Robin couldn't help but shiver as she wondered if she really belonged here.
" People would be happier if I was dead. "
"Stop thinking about that kind of stupid stuff."
Startled, Robin raised her head, and looked at Vivi, who was eating.
"I...I didn't say anything."
" Usually, it's very complicated to know what you're thinking. " Vivi affirmed. "But currently, even a blind man could use your facial expression to guess your thoughts."
Then she declared.
"Don't believe in people's stupidity! I myself formed an opinion of you, without trying to understand you, and I understood that it was a mistake! People blindly trust the world government , without understanding that they are being manipulated and ..."
"Vivi, please stop."
"Huh?" The former princess wondered.
"I really don't want to talk about this." Robin asserted, heading for the women's room. " I am going to rest a little bit. "
Seeing her leaving, Vivi wanted to stop her. Nevertheless, Zoro made himself heard.
"Hey, there's a giant toad."
"Huh?" Luffy and the others wondered. " A toad ? "
"Yes! A giant toad that swims the front crawl."
"The crawl?" Repeated several people, hurrying to look at the ocean.
Indeed, the crew had no trouble seeing a figure swimming in the water. A figure strongly resembling a giant toad, whose body was covered with scars.
"A TOAD?" Yosaku and Johnny wondered.
"Reminds me of something." Lucy affirmed.
"The people we met on the previous island claimed that their boat sank because of this animal." Raynare reminded her.
"Azelma, is it really that toad?" Nami questioned her.
" I don't know at all. " Azelma retorted. "Shun-Day and I were hiding in the hold when this happened."
Suddenly the boat began to change course.
"What...?" Nami wondered.
Having grabbed the oars, most of the men were rowing at full speed, so that the Merry could pursue the cane toad.
"HEY! What are you doing?"
" We're going to catch that toad. " Luffy affirmed. "And then we'll eat it."
"My first barbequed toad." Gin said, already starting to salivate. "I wonder if it will taste good with a glass of rum."
"Idiot." Sanji retorted. "What you have to do is marinate it in a pan filled with wine! It will retain all of its flavor that way."
"I never allowed you to change course to catch that toad." Nami roared.
"If our captain gives us the order, we have no choice." Raynare asserted.
" SHUT UP ! "
simply standing at the front of the boat, Velvet looked at the giant toad, before realizing that it was heading towards a specific location.
"Hey! There's a lighthouse in the distance."
"A lighthouse?" Usopp wondered, putting on his sniper scopes.
Seeing the building, the man affirmed.
"I see something but... what's a lighthouse doing in the middle of the ocean?"
"Aren't there any islands around?" Vivi questioned him.
"Huh...I don't see anything." Usopp affirmed.
"Nami, isn't it dangerous to go to this lighthouse?" Asked Lucy. "If this building could have been built here, that means the water level must be very low."
"You're right." Nami affirmed. "Nevertheless, going all the way to the lighthouse for information might not be a bad idea."
Thinking for a moment, she ordered.
"Guys! Stop chasing that frog and row slowly towards the lighthouse! We have to be careful when we get close to that building."
However, the boat does not slow down.
"CATCH THE TOAD BEFORE IT REACHES THE LIGHTHOUSE." Luffy ordered.
" AYE ! "
" BAKAYARO ! " Nami roared.
Suddenly, a huge jolt occurred, while the front of the Merry heaved, before retouching the surface of the water.
"What the...?" Johnny wondered.
"Did we hit something?" Zoro asked.
"IDIOTS!" Nami roared. "I warned you! The hull of the Merry must have hit a reef or something that was hidden under the surface of the water."
Still being at the front of the boat, Velvet retorted.
" No that's not it. "
Fixing a strange line made up of floats, she noticed that the line extended from left to right to disappear in the distance.
" What is that ? "
"Maybe it's a delineation." Bruno remarked, approaching. "That line may mean we're not allowed to meet on the other side! Maybe that's why the lighthouse is here."
Suddenly, a noise similar to a small bell was heard.
"Huh?" Chopper wondered. " What is that noise ? "
Silent at first, Wiper felt his ear move. Looking behind him, he scanned the horizon for a few moments, before declaring.
"Hey, I see a snake."
" A snake ? "
"Yeah! A huge snake." The shandian assured, continuing to stare into the distance. "It's as big as the one in Upper Yard."
Frightened to hear this, Nami looked in the same direction. However, his attention was drawn to visible shapes underwater. Looking more closely, she noticed that it looked like rails.
" Rails ? "
Then, finally, as the sound of the bell continued to ring, the whistle of a locomotive was heard.
Hearing this, Bruno, Lucy and Raynare looked in the direction of where the strange noise was coming from.
"Oye! Is this a joke?"
"Impossible! There's no way something like this could be in the middle of the ocean."
"But what's going on here?" Usopp frightened.
"Sister-Nami, do you know where we are?" Yosaku questioned her.
"We have to get out of here." Nami ordered. "What Wiper saw wasn't a giant snake! It was a train."
" A train ? "
"SEA TRAIN!" Vivi shouted. "We are on the Sea Train route."
"OARS!" Nami shouted.
Again the oars began to move at full speed, and as the Merry began to move, the train began to be seen much more distinctly.
"HE'S COMING." Chopper shouted.
"WOW! It really is a train." Luffy said.
" QUICK ! QUICK ! QUICK ! QUIRK ! "
Finally, as the train neared it, the Merry surged forward, sending it off the tracks. The next second, the train passed just behind the boat, showing no signs of braking. If Merry hadn't moved, the train would have hit it.
Stunned, the pirates watched the train roll past them before heading away. At first, motionless, Usopp flopped onto his back, while his eyes were white.
"My heart... My heart has stopped beating."
Falling onto her knees, Lucy looked depressed.
"I've had enough of this world! An island in the sky? A train that crosses the oceans? What will it be next? A giant elephant with a village on its back?"
"Granny! There are pirates."
Coming out of the lighthouse, a green-haired girl was staring at the ship, while a strange cat with bunny ears could be seen at her feet.
"Huh? Pirates? Are you sure, Chimney?"
Arriving in turn, an elderly woman appeared, before collapsing to the ground. Holding a bottle of liquor in her hand, the old woman seemed unable to walk properly due to being drunk.
"Who...Who are these people?
"My name is Chimney! And this is my cat, Gonbe."
" Meow. "
"That thing is a cat?" Gin wondered.
"Sometimes nature can be cruel." Bruno remarked.
"And this is my grandmother, Kokoro." Chimney stated, pointing to the elderly woman.
Simply laughing, the old woman took several sips of alcohol before asking.
"did you come here to loot the sea train?"
"Huh...not at all." Nami retorted. "We weren't even aware that a train might be here."
"But you are pirates?" Chimney asked.
"Yes." Luffy assured. "I am Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King."
Hearing this, Kokoro laughed.
"The Pirate King? It's been a long time since I heard someone say that."
"Huh…I have a question." Lucy affirmed. "Can you explain to me the reason why a train is running on water and in the middle of the ocean?"
"What?" Chimney wondered. "Have you ever heard of the Sea train?"
"I've read about him in books before." Vivi affirmed. "But it's the first time I've seen it! From what I know, it's a means of transport that can allow people to get to Enies-Lobby, the island of justice."
" It's not its primary function. " Kokoro retorted. "Above all, the Sea train is mainly used as a means of travel between several islands located not far from Water 7. "
" Water 7 ? "
"This is the island where it was built."
"It's a really great island." Chimney affirmed. "There are plenty of fountains and rivers running through the city."
"Meow!" Her cat approved.
"Still, it's dangerous to let a train run on the ocean." Nami asserted. "He almost hit us."
" Still, there are signal buoys not far from the rails. " Kokoro retorted. "How did you not see them."
" We were chasing a toad. " Luffy affirmed.
" A toad ? "
"Yes! He was swimming the front crawl and he came here! Besides, when the train passed in front of us, I saw him get hit! I hope he's okay."
"Have you met Yokozuna?" Chimney questioned.
"Yoko..." Nami repeated. "Isn't that the name the Admiral of the Navy gave to this toad?"
"He's famous here." Chimney affirmed. "He's a spoilsport who often causes trouble, getting in front of the Puffing-Tom, trying to block it out."
"Puffing-Tom?" Nami repeated.
"That's the name of the Sea train! It was named in honor of its creator."
"His creator?" Luffy repeated.
Thinking for a few moments, he ends up smiling, while declaring.
"Hey, if this guy can build that, I'm sure he could be a good carpenter."
" Hahahaha! Tom was the best carpenter in this world. " Affirmed Kokoro. "Besides, he's the one who built the Oro Jackson."
"WHAT?" Shouted several pirates.
Grinning, feeling like his eardrums were popping, Raynare asked.
"What are you doing screaming?"
"The Oro Jackson is no ordinary boat." Yosaku affirmed.
"Yeah, that was Gol D. Roger's ship: The Pirate King." Johnny chimed in.
"It's the only boat...that made it to the other end of the Grand Line." Bellamy finished.
"So cool." Luffy affirmed. "And this Tom, can we meet him?"
" Unfortunately, it's been years since he died. " Kokoro retorted. "But, from what I understand, you are looking for a carpenter, is that it?"
"Yes! We want to repair our boat and hire a carpenter."
"Where is your log-pose pointing?"
" To the east. "
" In that case, you are very lucky. " Affirmed Kokoro. "In this direction, you can get to Water 7! The island where the best carpenters in this world are located."
" Really ? "
"Yes! But I advise against trying to scare them! These guys are not afraid of anything and even less of pirates! But if you decide to act like good customers, I'm sure they can fix it. your vessel, in exchange for monetary compensation."
"Really? Great! In that case, we'll go there to fix Merry and hire a carpenter."
" Oh? In that case, I have a small favor to ask of you. " Kokoro affirmed, going back inside the lighthouse.
Returning a few seconds later, she presented them with some papers.
"Here is a letter for a man named Iceberg! She is the boss of the naval company of Water 7! You will be kind to give it to her! And with that, I also give you a letter of recommendation! Of this fact, you will be certain that he will agree to repair your ship."
" Thank you very much. "
Still in the women's room, Robin was discreetly watching the conversation through a porthole.
"Water 7..." she repeated.
Immediately, she thought of one of the islands that was not far from this place.
" Enies Lobby. "
