Capítulo 72: King's speech!
The customers were awed as the ship went under the sea deeper and deeper, sailing through the water towards FishMan Island.
They stood on the deck and gasped at the huge fish and Seakings that swam around.
Mocha clawed at a Seaking, meowing hungrily. Tenshi held her and scratched behind her ears, smiling happily as he looked at the beautiful sight.
How pretty it was under the sea!
Tenshi said gently, "Don't touch the bubble otherwise it'll pop and we'll all die horrible deaths." the people at the edge froze and backed off in fear as Tenshi laughed softly, looking down from the bubble at the endless sea.
The time passed and night rolled around.
Tenshi closed the shop and everyone went home.
King looked around and blinked, "Where did they go?" Tenshi smiled gently, "Home. Those are all customers… I only have 3 permanent Employees at the moment." Haku and Karin looked up at King, sighing sincerely "What a big guy!" Mocha meowed as Tenshi held her up, smiling gently.
He put Mocha down and she sauntered away, meowing.
Haku and Karin also left.
King sat down and Tenshi still had to look up at him, he sighed and sat down too. King nodded and started explaining, "800 years ago, Joyboy ruled the seas, giving freedom to everyone. Until the ancient War happened… The 20 Kings gathered their armies and killed Joyboy's army, hunting all of them down like rats! Our Lunarian Race was once revered as Gods, living on the Red Line…"
He sighed and shook his head, "This story was passed down to me by my parents. Our Race was forced from the Red Line to the Blue Sea to hide from the World Government. We were once part of Joyboy's forces… The prophecy says that Joyboy will return and bring the Dawn back on this world! As Lunarians, we are obligated to fight for Joyboy as we once did before to bring the Dawn back!"
Tenshi nodded, he knew Lunarian lore. There was even a theory that all the Sun Patterns in Alabasta, Skypiea, Zou, Wano, FishMan Island, etc. were the old Symbol of Joyboy, now for different purposes but never losing the Sun pattern.
Then King continued, "I found Joyboy." Tenshi was dumbfounded, King went on, "Kaido must be the Joyboy from the prophecy, I'm sure of it! He agreed to shelter you, so after reaching the New World, we'll head to Wano. During this time, I'll be training you to prepare for the war…"
Tenshi held out his hands and waved them, saying "Alber-san… Kaido isn't Joyboy…" Alber paused for a moment before replying, "Whether he is or not, doesn't matter. He can be. As long as he never loses, whether he's the real Joyboy or not is of no consequence."
Tenshi gawked before retorting "And when he loses, what will you do?" Alber shook his head, "Impossible. The only one who can defeat him is Joyboy!" Tenshi waved his hands, nodding "Mhm! I know who Joyboy is." Alber was bewildered and Tenshi crossed his arms, smiling gently with closed eyes, "Monkey D. Luffy!"
Alber's eyes twitched and he looked at Tenshi's expression of 'Are you shocked? This is the truth.' before his lips twitched. He made a fist of flames and smacked Tenshi in the head, Tenshi's eyes bulged and he rubbed his head, saying angrily "What was that for?!"
Of course, there was no disgusted feeling, he was hit with flames, not someone else. Flames were pure and free of filth, otherwise why would Angels use flames?
Tenshi was sure all the other angels were germaphobes like him. At least, he wasn't a giant rotating sphere of wheels with eyeballs…
That would suck!
Alber said angrily "What idiotic thoughts are you thinking?! The Straw Hat rookie, Joyboy? I'm serious! This is about the fate of our Race!" Tenshi complained, "It's true! I'm telling you!" Alber sighed and let it go, shaking his head, "At any rate, I will train you. Explain to me your birth defects." as he took off his mask, revealing his face.
Brown skin, white hair, an olive branch tattooed on the side of his face. He wasn't too bad looking, it was just a shame that he was 20ft tall…
And… He looked like a square!
Tenshi had to complain, small and slim was very nice, why do you have to look so strange! He explained, "I was born with white wings… Um… I don't know what to tell you." Alber looked at him and muttered, "Eyes that hold the stars in them, very strange. There ARE records of white winged Lunarians, however they all died very early in their lives. Normally, it's a terrible birth defect and disease…"
Alber held his chin and said, "Show me your flame, little one." Tenshi held out his palm and a dark golden flame appeared. Alber curled his finger and Tenshi's flame jumped out of his palm, landing in Alber's.
Tenshi's face froze and he looked at his empty palm…
Huh?
This damn flame really cozied up to someone else fast!
Alber felt the flames before sighing as he flicked it back, "Your flames are even discolored and very weak!" he looked up at the 'sky', saying angrily "Has even God forsaken our Race?!"
Tenshi took the flame back and looked at Alber silently. This guy really cared a lot about Lunarians, he was pretty nice. It was a shame he was part of Kaido's crew. But maybe he could trick this guy onto his boat!?
Tenshi chuckled to himself as Alber sighed, making a mental note that Tenshi may also have mental deficiencies…
He stood up and said "We will practice every day, I will train you. Hopefully you can overcome these defects." he comforted, "It may be hard but I know you can do it. Just because you look different doesn't mean that you're a waste!" Tenshi looked up at him, touched, what a guy!
No wonder his name was King!
Tenshi smiled happily and nodded before suddenly saying worriedly "But…" he sighed and his smile disappeared for real, sulking, "I don't like fighting…" Alber shook his head and said "You must fight. This is the destiny of our Lunarian Race! Come on."
He pulled out his sword and Tenshi jumped in shock, waving, "No, no… Come with me." as he flew across the deck. Alber followed him in the air and came to a fighting arena.
Tenshi landed down inside, sighing "Here is good just… Don't be too harsh…" Alber rolled his eyes and landed in the fighting arena, saying "Draw your weapon." Tenshi pulled out the spear from his wings and Alber nodded, "Good choice. I once used a spear as well."
Tenshi wanted to cry, "I really don't like fighting, only Celestial Dragons are ignored!" Alber said coldly, "You have no choice!" as he slashed out.
Tenshi stabbed with the spear, clashing with the sword, but it suddenly changed angles, shooting at his neck and stopping right before severing his head. Tenshi swallowed and looked upset. Alber sighed and took back his sword, walking over.
He got down on one knee, saying "Tenshi, even if you don't like fighting, you will have to fight. The reason is because the 20 Kings will never give up on our race. I was tortured and experimented on for years, I don't want that to happen to you. You have to be strong! It will hurt, it'll be tough, you'll want to give up at times, maybe you'll even want to cry! But all of this will be nothing compared to the freedom of strength!"
He waved at the deck, saying "All these people are customers to your cafe, right? If you can't protect them, who will come? To do anything in this world you need the strength to do so! Even if you are completely peaceful and kind, trouble will come looking for you! No matter where you are. It's unfortunate but this is the fate of our Race. Our strength is also a weakness that provokes greed. Our ancestors and brethren were hunted down to the last man for this reason."
He sighed and added softly, "You and me, we're the last hope of our Race. The only thing separating our Race and extinction is our lives! The World Government will stop at nothing to exterminate us, so we have to be strong! Very, very strong! Do you understand?"
Tenshi nodded sadly and Alber smiled, "Alright, come on. Try again." as they started again.
