Chapter 23: Departure,Meeting and Investigation.
*Atharva, Nami, Nojiko, Genzo, Nako and villagers Pov*
Feeling the sun rays i opened my eyes and glanced around to see we were again on side of the road sleeping on grass but this time nojiko was on my chest and nami was on side holding my hand and sleeping peacefully.
' if possible I really want to stay few more days but'
I thought about the slaves and the people need my help.
I gently wake up nami first.
" Nami wake up its time to go"
Feeling like someone is calling me I opened my eyes to see darling 💞 looking at me.
" What is it darling" I asked in a sleep voice.
" Comman we have to go before every one wakes up"
Hearing this I was completely awake now, seeing nojiko on his chest I looked at him as if ' what is it why is Nojiko on top of you'
" Don't look at me I don't how she come on top " I said while smiling.
I just rolled my eyes at him.
" Nojiko wake-up we have to leave"
Hearing this I opened my eyes to only see him and nami looking at me.
" Good morning " I said avoiding there gazes.
I kissed on her checks before lifting her up with my self.
Seeing this I wanted to say something but I was also lifted from the grass and kissed on the lips with the tongue.
Seeing this I looked away with jealous.
After separating from her soft lips 👄" let's go home and pack what you need we will leave immediately before the villagers wake up as to not feel them bad"
Hearing this I nodded" that's for the good" (nami)
" Ok " (Nojiko)
We started walking towards our house.
When they were in distance.
" They really are going to go"(Nako)
" Yes they are" ( Genzo)
I looked at him and asked " Genzo are you really ok with it letting them go"
Hearing this " They have grown up and more importantly they know what they are doing"
" But "
" I know you are also worried but if they want to achieve their dreams who are we to Stop them from doing so ha"
Hearing this I nodded " yes you right I just hope they willl be ok"
" I know they will be " I said smiling.
" Let's go to Port and wait for them to come I still have few things to tell them "
" Ok let's go "
They both started walking towards the Port while talking.
" Darling 💓 we are going to use the same boat we come back from or different "
I asked while walking.
" We will use the same boat atleast for now"
" Is there enough space for there of us on board "
" Yes there is don't worry Nojiko " I said while smiling.
We reached our home.
"You two quickly pack what you need and I will put that in boat"
" Ok darling 💞"
" Yes"
I and Nojiko started packing what we need and after 10 minutes we were done packing and washed our faces and started going towards the Port.
" I will really miss the oranges in the backyard" (Nojiko)
" Me two" (Nami)
" I will also miss our house were we both grow up "
" Yes with Bell -mere "
" That Genzo and doctor and all the villagers "
Nami and i talked while going towards port.
I just keep quiet the entire time.
Agpfter some time coming to port we saw Genzo and Nako waiting there.
" Uncle " i nodded to him and started storing supplies and the clothes brought back by the two.
I nodded back to him and watched him start to keep the supplies.
" Doctor and Genzo what are you doing her" (Nami)
I was also shocked to see them her (Nojiko)
" Well take you long enough to come and we know you will go without saying goodbye so we come her" (Genzo)
" Yes are you both sure you want to go" (Nako)
Hearing this both nodded seriously " yes we do want to" we said at the same time.
Hearing this I just shook my head and laughed (Genzo)
Hearing this and seeing Genzo laughing I just signed helplessly.
" Ok plz pay attention to safety than" (Nako)
" We will don't worry"(Nami)
I come near them i placed my both hands on their heads.
Feeling his hands on our head we both showed a smile.
" Don't act recklessly and always pay attention to safety, support each other "
" Yes don't worry I will keep an eye on nami"
" Yes we will be careful"
Seeing that the boy has completed storing all supplies.
" Ok it's time for you two to go"
" Genzo about the oranges" ( nojiko)
" Don't worry I ,Nako and villagers will take good care of it"
Hearing this both of us bowed towards Genzo and Nako before saying " Thank you "
" You don't have to do this what you done is much more"( Nako)
" Yes he is right now keep going " ( Genzo)
We both nodded and started walking towards the boat.
" Boy remember you promise" i said looking at the boy who was starring at us (Genzo)
" Yes uncle i know don't worry" i said smiling.
We just jumped on the boat and raised eyebrow " darling 💞 what promise"
" Yes what prompted" ( Nojiko)
Hearing this I remember the first day of celebration at night.
Flash back.
After some time passed spending with children's i decided to go towards the uncle where Bell -mere was baried.
I walked up to Bell -mere and keep wine class on the side and started drinking.
" You know both your daughters are grown up"
" They both want to go outside and achieve their dreams"
" What would you have done allow them to go if you were alive ha?"
There was silence.
" I know you had "
When I come near i started hearing this uncle saying something and crying while speaking.
" You know nami has gotten very strong"
" You should be really proud of her"
Walking near the uncle.
" Uncle you ok"
Hearing this I turned and saw the boy coming who saved us and was going to take them both away.
" Yea I am ok you know what this place is"
" I know this is were mother Bell -mere is baried"
' Mother ha this boy is really nice's
I payed my respect and said simple " hello mother"
" You know nojiko also wants to come with you guys"
I was really surprised but didn't say anything.
" Are you sure you can handle them both and keep them safe at same time if something happens"
Hearing this I was silent for a while " i promise you with my life I will protect them with my life and don't any harm reach them"
" Good I will believe you if anything happens I will find you and kill you remember that"
" You don't have to Worry if something happens to them that means I am probably dead" I said smiling.
I was shocked my his smile ' he really is something else '
" Good plz take care of them both"
" Yes I will "
After chatting some more time i returned back to town.
End of flash back.
" Nothing you don't need to know"
Hearing this we both pouted.
Seeing this I , the uncle and doctor laughed loudly.
" Ok nami control the boat we are leaving" i said.
" Ok darling 💞" i started going to adjust the boat direction.
Boat started going in distance sea.
Nami , nojiko and i stand on the corner and looked at conomi island.
" You both remember you can always come back"( Genzo)
" Yes your always welcome and thank you for what you have done" (Nako)
Hearing this all of us smiled and waved good bye.
Just as the boat was going further we saw all villagers come running towards the Port and started shouting.
" Thank you"
" Plz come back again"
" We will wait for you"
" At least you had wait 2 more days"
" You are always welcome"
" Atleast let us say good bye before going"
" Nami and Nojiko we will miss you"
" Hero thanks for coming and helping us"
" Plz be safe"
Hearing this I started crying and waving my hand.
Me too started crying and waved my hand.
I smiled looked at the villagers than at the two who were crying gently hugged them both to comfort them.
Feeling his arm around them both claimed down.
On the Port.
I looked at everyone and smiled ' i hope were every they go they will be safe' (Genzo)
I looked at the conomi island which can't be seen now and turned my head to see towards sea.
' i really wanted to stay but the time is tight after east blue journey is done and after west blue journey and finding Robin we can relax and go at slow flow '
*Navy Pov*
Somewhere in grand line were navy headquarters is located.
In an important room in headquarters a heated discussion was taking place regarding the lion and cat bounties.
The four seas bounties is decided by few individuals who have higher position and does not get in the eyes of higher ups until they enter grandline or do something to harm the world or world government intrest or world nobles.
In the room were 5 captains and 1 commodores who has the final say.
Again the grand line captain level has great strength and contribution to navy than at 4 seas.
Also there were 2 intelligence officer were present and 10 lieutenant commander were present 2 under each commodores.
The intelligence officers presented the file of lion and cat with latest updates to 6 persons who were seated wearing justice cloak behind their back.
Which are 5 captains and 1 commodore who has final say.
After distributing the files the intelligence officers moved to the corner and waited to answer if there were any questions.
After barley 10 minutes later all have completed reading the files and the really metting was going to get started.
The commodore as the higher up spoke up first " so what do you all think" he looked towards 5 captains and asked.
Hearing this the 5 captains looked at each other before 1 captain spoke.
" Is the information right first we see him looting pirates and letting them go or have a fight with them and afterwards he defeat Arlong which we don't even know that he was in east sea"
Hearing this all looked at 2 intelligence officers with questioning eyes.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them both swallowed their saliva before one coming forward " sir may I " he asked looking at commodore.
Commodore nodded giving him permission to speak.
" Sir about this captain Nezumi said he also find out that day and was going there to arrest him"
" Without informing the headquarters" 2 captain asked with a frown.
" Dose he thinks he has strength to arrest a grand line pirate without asking for help " 3 captain said.
" No something is wrong wouldn't we were planning to invite those two to join navy"
" Yes sir we were but captain Nezumi reported yesterday about what happened and he also claim to be attacked" the intelligence officer replied.
" Than how did he survived without any losses " the 4 captain asked.
" Read the full report everything is mentioned there" the 5 captain said.
Hearing this 4 captain looked at 5 captain and clicked his tongue before reading it again.
After reading " what nonsense he can handle Arlong and after wards don't have the strength to handle marines and they escaped only taking Arlong with them" the 4 captain said.
" Yes something is wrong and I think this Nezumi guy is lying to us" the 5 captain said.
" I also think so" the 4 captain nodded.
Intelligence officers were stunned.
" Yes I also think we need to investigate before making any decision" the 1 captain said.
" I also agree if the information is not right and we publish the bounties we will lose to excellent soliders" the 2 captain said.
" I think this Captain Nezumi looks shead" the 3 captain said.
" Yes he is promoted due to connection " the 5 captain also added.
The commodore was only listening to them without saying anything.
As the 5 captains continue speaking the two intelligence officers were sweating and thought ' More work is coming out way'
After some heated discussion it was decided to wait and investigate captain Nezumi and what really happened there.
Commodore looked at the two intelligence officers " we only know the lion mask name right what about the cat one "
" No sir we don't have her name"
" What is the name of the lion one" the 5 captain asked.
" Sir it's Gadgil D Atharva "
Everyone thought what unusual name but the commodore was thinking ' D ha '
Then he looked at them asked " what about his birth place what was he doing before he started sailing who are his parents "
These series of questions left the intelligence officer take breath before saying.
" We don't know sir"
The area fell into silence before the 5 captain spoke.
" What do you mean have you tried getting it or not until know"
" Sir we are trying but can't find anything on him"
The commodore siged " what about the girl "
The officer looked down not answering.
Seeing this all understand that they don't have it.
After another heated discussion they stopped.
The commodore looked at everyone present and said" we will investigate the girl and the boy in details and try to find as much as you can get "
" We will send captain aron from intelligence department to east sea to find out what really happened "
Hearing this all were suprised hearing arons name.
" Yes sending aron will be best " 5 captain agreed.
" Ok " the 1,2, and 3 captain expressed their aggreement without going in details.
" Isn't it to much to send one of the best intelligence officer to east sea to investigate such small matter " the 4 captain asked.
Hearing this the 2 intelligence officers also nodded their head aron was best among them he will get information he wants and he has his own methods to get what he needs.
" No it's not much and I think it's correct choice to send him there " the 5 captain said while looking at the 4.
Another argument started involving which one to send and why.
Seeing this the commodore" Stop it"
Hearing this all stoped all looked towards commodore.
" I think this is not small matter as we think and have a bad feeling about this so to be sure I want him to go and check out"
Hearing everyone was surprised ' ha bad feeling ha' thought.
" Ok we will wait until the investigation is completed before giving bounties to them"
The commodore stand up seeing this all other captains also standed.
The commodore got near door of the room before turning and saying " Don't make any unnecessary Move do you understand" he said realising the pressure.
Felling the pressure all captains nodded " we know commodore "
Than all relaxed when commodore exited the room.
" What do you think " the 4 captain asked the 5 captain.
" I really think he should go and have look into this matter " the 5 captain replied.
" Yes I agree with him and commodore also had a bad felling " the 1 captain agreed and added.
The other 2 and 3 captain remain quiet neither agreeing or denying the commodore orders.
Seeing them 4 captain shook his head.
" So who will convey the order to him" the 5 captain asked while looking at others.
" I will do I am going there" the 3 captain replied.
Everyone nodded and exited the room.
The meeting was finally over.
The commodore who was walking towards his cabin.
' Gadgil D Atharva '
' D' ha.
He Stopped and looked in the distance were the Navy marshal was.
" Should I report this to marshal"
Thinking about for some time in the end he shook his head.
"I will report when the investigation is completed and we find more data on both"
Then he started walking again.
At intelligence department in aron table.
"So I have to go to east sea and investigate this captain Nezumi and this lion and cat" Aron asked looking at 3 captain.
" Yes it's the commodore orders and here is all the information you need to know before going " the 3 captain handed him the file named with lion and cat.
Hearing this was a commodore orders he looked suprised" is it serious "
The 3 captain nodded his head.
Than aron started reading all information.
After 20 minutes he keep the file down.
" Its complicated mission we are suscepting our own"
The 3 captain nodded.
" Ok I will leave immediately leave for east sea "
" Ok have good journey " saying this the captain started walking out.
" Will this can be a long journey " he said before starting getting ready to leave for east Sea.
* Atharva, Nami and Nojiko Pov*
Its have been 2 hours by leaving conomi island.
I decided to tell them where we are heading.
" Wife and Nojiko come her" I was at hall of the boat while nami was at the stirring wheel and Nojiko in kitchen.
Hearing this both come towards me.
" Darling 💞 what is it"
I also looked at him.
" Wife do you remember first time we both meet pirates "
" Yes "
" Than that other when said I look strong all well sell for good price "
" Yes I remember that i beat him untill he was red "
I looked at nami with confusion" can you tell me "
Hearing this I looked at her and started telling about what happened when they meet those pirates.
After finishing telling nojiko i looked towards him " so what is it"
" When you were looking for treasures I was investigating them"
" So what did you found out"
" Well they said they capture innocent people with good strength and sell them to government officers for money "
Hearing this both were shocked.
" Why would government want them" l asked (Nojiko)
I just looked at darling.
" We for doing labour work "
" Labour?"( Nojiko)
" Labour work for what "(Nami)
" To build a bridge connecting both side which is very useful for world government and nobles "
" So they are buying those innocent people instead of saving them"( Nojiko)
" So darling 💞 what are we going to do " i looked at him and asked but I know the answer already.
" Ofcourse save them and free them and if possible find a solution to help them"
" Can we do that won't we will get in trouble we go against world government "(nojiko)
I looked at her " ofcourse we can do this and about trouble we already are in trouble by defeating Arlong"
Hearing this I nodded (Nojiko)
" Darling so the government is our enemies"
" You will find out as we move forward in the journey"
I nodded and asked " so what's the place name "
" Tequila wolf "
Hearing this I opened the map on table before finding out where it is.
" Here it is"
" So how much days we need to get there" (Nojiko)
" Let's see atleast 1 and half month in middle there is a village and frauce kingdom were we stopped last time" saying this i remember that time when we leave the kingdom darling was in thought ' could it me because of this he was struggling on what to do ho darling 💞 '
I nodded my head and looking at nojiko I said " nojiko be ready I will start your physical exercise from Tomorrow and it will be difficult "
Hearing this l looked towards him and said " I know I will not back down"
Seeing this I leaned down and kissed her on the checks.
" If you do well in training you will be rewarded "
Hearing this I was excited ' that means I can get that kiss on the lips with tongue" i started imagining.
Seeing her like this I give slap on her head before saying "go back to kitchen and continue the cooking " and looked at him with angry eyes.
Hearing this I came out my imagination and run back to kitchen.
Seeing this I laughed.
" What rewards are you talking about ha"
" Nothing much just kisses her and there nothing more"
" Ho really " l asked leaning in his arm.
" Yes really my wife I will not do anything more than that yet"
" Ok I trust you darling 💞 i wanted to ask something "
" Ask me anything "
" When we were leaving the kingdom you were thinking about the slaves right"
" Yes but I know I wanted to go to your village first when I looked at your face"
" Darling 💞 why don't you say anything "
" No because you come first and what you want also come first that's why I don't say anything to you "
" You know you are also my Frist priority right "
" I know baby but if we had decided to save them first it have taken more time to go back to conomi island and you know what Arlong was planning to do right so we made the right choice don't worry about that"
Hearing this I also relaxed.
" And we are going now to save them right "
" You are right "
We Both looked into each other eyes lovingly before kissing.
While I was kissing her i groped her ass ' so soft' i thought.
Feeling him gropping my ass i moaned in his mouth, I was really getting excited but at this moment.
" You two know that I am her right plz don't do these infront of me so shameless "
Hearing this we separated i also stopped my hands before they grope something else.
" Says who offers her body as a payment shameless "
" Nami"
They started arguing with each other.
I looked at them and smiled ' well this life is not bad at all' i thought.
I turned and looked towards the sea ' 1 and half month ha well we will save them and find a solution to help them.'
I don't what happened to that mouse did he report it to the headquarters.
How much my and nami first bounty will be.
' I can't wait to see the bounty and our cool photos '
