Chapter 34: Amazon Lily - Arrival
The next morning, Kaito woke up early, he was eager to start his journey. After breakfast, he went to his grandfather's office where he received the last instructions before leaving. After finishing this, he headed for his ship. Upon arriving at the docks, he found that everything was ready and after boarding he began to give orders.
Kaito - prepare the sails to set sail, and release the ends to get out of the dock! -
Marines - yes sir! -
Kaito watched as the Marines followed his orders. After releasing the ends and unfolding the sails, the ship began to move slowly increasing its speed, each time it moved further away from Marineford, although Kaito knew that he would soon return to pick up Kalifa, he still felt that this was the moment in which which his true journey began.
Marine - captain -
Kaito - yes? -
Marine - where do we go? -
Kaito - head to Amazon Lily Island -
Marine - yes sir -
Kaito - wait ... -
Marine - yes sir -
Kaito - I want you to call Corporal Tashigi and meet me here -
Marine - yes sir! -
Kaito wanted to talk to Tashigi, he had some business with her. I wait a few minutes and saw Tashigi approaching him.
Tashigi - captain, did you want something? -
Kaito - you don't need to call me that way -
Tashigi - but you are the captain of the ship -
Kaito - yes, but I have the idea that you are the assistant of my second in command when she arrive -
Tashigi - the assistant? -
Kaito - yes, since you have a higher rank than most newly graduated recruits and I feel that you are suitable for the position, and since you will be quite in touch with me, I think it is more comfortable for you to refer to me by my name -
Tashigi - okay, Kaito-san -
Kaito - very good -
Tashigi - was that all? -
Kaito - no, I also wanted to ask you if you want to practice fencing with me -
Tashigi - yes, of course! -
Tashigi was excited when he heard Kaito's words, as Kaito knew, Tashigi was a fan of fencing and swords.
Tashigi - Kaito-san, could you show me your sword, don't I recognize it? -
Kaito watched as Tashigi took a small book from her pocket, this was surely the sword guide she also carried in the anime.
Kaito - okay -
Kaito agreed and took his sword from her waist and proceeded to unsheathe it. Tashigi closely watched the katana in his captain's right hand.
Tashigi - oh, it's beautiful, and as I thought I don't recognize this sword -
Kaito - it's obvious since it's a newly forged sword -
Tashigi - freshly forged? -
Kaito - yes, the person who gave it to me told me that a famous blacksmith did it and that it was an exclusive request for me -
Tashigi - exclusive? Then it must be made of high quality materials -
Kaito - that's right, but I think a sword is not strong because of its materials, although if it influences, I think the key is your technique and the understanding you have about the art of fencing, although each person understands the domain of the fencing in different ways, or so I think -
Tashigi - I see -
Kaito - from what I see you also have a sword -
Tashigi - yes –
Tashigi took her sword and drew it.
Tashigi - this is my sword and it's called shigure -
Kaito took it and swung it for a few moments.
Kaito - it's a good sword, but it's too light for me -
Tashigi - I see -
Kaito - do you use the style of a sword with one hand or two? -
Tashigi - I use the technique of a two-handed sword -
Kaito - okay, my technique is that of a sword with one hand, I won't be able to teach you much, but if we have some duels you can improve and perfect your technique -
Tashigi - okay, and thanks Kaito-san -
Kaito - you don't have to thank me, I'm your captain and I have to take care of my subordinates -
Kaito continued talking with Tashigi about fencing and swords. Kaito could clearly notice Tashigi's great fondness for these issues. Kaito gave her some advice by having more experience in fencing.
Actually, Kaito hoped to train Tashigi, this was due to a characteristic of Tashigi's fighting style demonstrated in the original story. She always rushed against the enemy without thinking for a moment. This bothered Kaito before when he watched the anime, but now that he had trained fencing for many years, it bothered him even more as a swordsman. He wanted to correct this evil she inhabited and make it much stronger.
Tashigi - by the way, Kaito-san, why are you wearing those gloves? -
Tashigi had been looking at the peculiar gloves that Kaito was wearing in his hands. They were curious to wear what looked like small stones on the back of each glove.
Kaito - these gloves are a gift from a friend, they are special since they wear these ornaments made of kairoseki -
Tashigi - kairoseki? Are they to hit the users of loggia-type devil fruits? -
Kaito - no, although they could be used for that. These gloves are to prevent me from unconsciously using my devil fruit skills -
Tashigi - are you a devil fruit usury!? -
Kaito - yes, I am a user of a logia -
Tashigi - and what logia is it? -
Kaito - the water logia, the Mizu Mizu no Mi -
Tashigi - Mizu Mizu no Mi, I had never heard of it -
Kaito - I have not come to find any information about this fruit, but it is not surprising, there are some fruits that do not appear in the navy records, although being a lodge if it is a bit weird that has never even been mentioned in last -
Tashigi - and why don't you want to use your skills? -
Kaito - could you say it's to make me stronger -
Tashigi - I don't understand -
Kaito - what I mean is that I don't want to depend solely on the abilities given by the devil's fruit, I usually fight with my hands using the rokushiki fighting style -
Tashigi - I've also heard of that fighting technique, and the katana? -
Kaito - I usually use it when I can't beat someone alone with my hands or against other swordsmen -
Tashigi - I see, and when do you use all your power? -
Kaito - To be honest, I've never used my full strength, when I was younger, I did use my devil's fruit skills against someone else to prove something, but that was a long time ago -
Tashigi - who did you use them against? -
Kaito - against Admiral Kuzan -
Tashigi - against Aokiji !? -
Kaito - that's his nickname, but yes, I faced Aokiji -
Tashigi - awesome! –
Kaito continued explaining this to Tashigi for the next few hours, at one point a Marine informed him that they had reached the Calm Belt and that they would soon arrive at Amazon Lily.
By the time it was noon, they could see the island in the distance.
Kaito - well, listen to me, I, along with Corporal Tashigi, will be the only ones that will land on land, you will stay on the ship some distance from the island, I will take a den den mushi with me so that you can contact me if something happens, if not nothing happens, you just have to call me when the headquarters orders to return -
Marines - yes sir -
Kaito - very well, I think it's time to go -
Tashigi - can I really go? -
Kaito - yes, I think it will be good for you to learn something from the inhabitants of the island and you can also train there, you are also a woman and you are not prohibited from entering unlike men -
Tashigi - so what's up with you? -
Kaito - don't worry, I know someone from there who allows me to be there -
Tashigi - well, then we take a boat to go to the island? -
Kaito - no need -
Tashigi could not speak when Kaito grabbed her by the waist and began to jump and walk through the air using the geppo.
Tashigi - could you have told me before!!! -
Kaito ignored Tashigi and continued to jump through the air carrying Tashigi as if it were a lump on his arm.
He continued jumping for a few minutes until he flew over the coast of the island, did not stop there and continued his journey into the island. I jump for a few more minutes and when I pass the cliffs that served as walls, Kaito and Tashigi could see the city of the Kuja tribe.
Kaito continued to jump until suddenly some arrows flew in his direction, Kaito prior to the attack and dodged them.
Tashigi - kyaaa, attack us! -
Kaito - don't move much or you will fall! -
Kaito headed towards the palace of Amazon Lily, he knew that Hancock would surely be there. The intruder alert bells began ringing throughout the city.
Kaito - damn, I don't want to fight them, I have to hurry up and meet Hancock -
Kaito continued jumping and dodging the arrows launched by the Kuja warriors.
Kuja warrior - knock down the intruder! He goes to the palace; we cannot allow him to arrive! -
The warriors continued to launch reinforced arrows with busoshoku haki. Kaito ignored the attacks easily bypassing them and continued on his way to the palace. Once the front of the palace flew over, Kaito began to descend, at that moment an imposing voice was heard.
??? - Who dares to infiltrate my island! -
Kuja warrior - Hebihime-sama! -
Hancock appeared at that moment and began to get angry when she learned that a man had entered the island. She was about to continue talking, but was interrupted.
Kaito - hello Hancock! -
In front of Hancock, Kaito landed softly and left Tashigi on the floor.
Hancock - Kaito !! -
Hancock was surprised by Kaito's sudden appearance. She was very happy and quickly hugged Kaito, not realizing her surroundings and that she had buried Kaito's head between her breasts.
Kaito - Quiet Hancock, let me breathe! -
Hancock - ahhh, I'm sorry, but what do I do, I don't want Kaito to think I'm a slut -
Kaito could breathe after being released by Hancock.
Kaito - (damn, Hancock's breasts were already big before but now they're even bigger) -
Kaito tried to clear his mind and spoke again.
Kaito - I came as I promised, but you should have told your citizens that it would come -
Hancock - ah, I'm sorry -
Hancock could only apologize and could not say that she was so excited for Kaito's visit that she forgot to warn.
Kaito - well, it doesn't matter, Tashigi come here -
Tashigi - yes -
Hancock - who is she? -
Hancock became irritated and frowned when she saw a woman next to Kaito.
Kaito - she is a subordinate of mine -
Tashigi - Hi, I'm Corporal Tashigi -
Hancock - hello ... -
Kaito watched as Hancock seemed unwilling to introduce himself.
Kaito - Tashigi, she is the pirate empress and shichibukai Boa Hancock -
Tashigi - shichibukai !? -
Kaito - yes -
While the three talked, the Kuja warriors were surprised to see their empress talking quietly with that man. They could not believe what they saw. That way Kaito arrived with Tashigi on the island of Amazon Lily.
