Chapitre 5: Chapter 5:
While sweeping the deck of the Golden Merry, Usopp asked a very important question,"By the way, Ryu, does our pirate group have a name and a flag?"
Hearing this question, everyone stopped what they were doing and paid attention to Ryu. Ryu responded,'' We already have a name for our pirate group. It's called the Dream Pirates. As for a flag, I was hoping someone would draw it for us.``
Luffy chose this moment to speak up," Brother Ryu, I have already drawn a flag for us to use."
Hearing this, Ryu had a bad feeling, and sure enough, he saw Luffy's masterpiece. It was a very crooked flag of a skeleton with a straw hat. Ace hammered Luffy with his fist and Sabo immediately roasted it with a larger than necessary flame that almost set the sails on fire.
Usopp contributed towards drawing a flag, but his flag was of a skeleton with a long nose. Before he could put it on the flag sail, Kuina projected a large Iron Sword that planted itself a centimeter away from his forehead.
"Haha," Zoro laughed with a large bottle of juice in a wine shaped bottle. It would have been condescending, if it wasn't for the fact that Zoro was facing the ocean rather than Usopp.
Kuina held her forehead," Generally, pirate flags have a characteristic of their captain on the skull. What is a defining characteristic of Ryu?"
"Lazy."
"Inspiring"
"Meat"
Three different answers came from the three brothers. Ryu had a tick on his forehead. Was this how his closest brothers had viewed him? But Kuina did raise a valid point. What was different about him that could be used in a flag. He decided to go with something associated with Gilgamesh.
"Hey Usopp, design a flag with golden swords instead of bones. As for the skull, make it have a crown on it."
After tinkering around, Usopp held up a flag. "Is this all right?"
"Perfect. Now Usopp, draw it on the sails as well."
Once it was over Ryu had a feeling of satisfaction seeing the flag representing him and his crew. Although it was different from conventional flags, Ryu liked it even more. Black and White was too depressing. Gold gave out a different feeling to Ryu, the feeling of lavishness and carefreeness. Thus, the Children's Pirates had its own flag.
…
Looking at the endless sea, although it will make people relaxed and happy, but more will make people feel bored. Usopp, who had cleaned the ship, and Luffy, who couldn't hold back, muttered for a while, and then began to focus on the only cannon on the ship.
"I really want to shoot the cannon. "
Usopp sighed while rubbing the barrel of the cannon.
"Just aim for that rock!"
Luffy pointed to the direction, and the two happy boys flipped the muzzle excitedly.
boom! !
A cannon shot was heard in Ryu's cabin, who was talking with Ace.Knowing the dispositions of those two idiots, he didn't even lift his head. But then, there was a commotion on the deck, forcing him to go out. As soon as he came out, he saw Luffy and Usopp hauling an unconscious pink haired boy.
Ace grabbed Luffy angrily," What did you do now, Luffy."
Luffy cried,"We tried the cannons, but it hit someone's raft."
Sabo jumped down and swam up to the boy on the raft. Upon bringing him back, everyone came closer to observe him. He was a bit younger than Luffy, probably five years old. Ryu noticed his pink hair. Combining it with his facial features, Ryu realized that it was actually Koby. Ryu was a bit surprised. He didn't expect to meet Koby here in this manner.
Luffy screamed anxiously," Aah, he's dead."
Usopp collapsed in fear,"No!!!!"
"""Shut up."""
While everyone was panicking, Koby woke up.
"Um, where am I?"
"Aah, Ryu, he came back from the dead."
"Idiot, he never died."
After everyone calmed down, Ryu asked Koby," Hey, umm, who are you? What are you doing here? Were you shipwrecked?"
Koby wiped away his tears that were starting to form," My name is Koby. I'm from a village nearby. We were raided by the Arlong pirates. We were killed and I am the only survivor left."
Upon hearing this, Ryu felt that Koby was miserable, but he also noted that the Arlong Pirates already had a base set up in the East Blue. Originally, he planned on getting Sanji, but he decided to get Nami as their navigator first.
"Koby," asked Ryu," Do you know where Arlong Pirates have their main base."
"Umm, yeah. It's very close to Cocoyasi village apparently."
"Sabo, set sail to Cocoyashi Village then."
"Okay captain."
"Wait, you don't understand. They are fishman pirates. THey are too strong." cried Koby out loud,but Luffy smiled even brighter.
"We are also pirates." said Luffy while pointing at their flag.
Koby fell into even more despair when he heard that they were pirates, so he ran away into a corner, but he was integrated into their crew as the days passed on.
…
When Ryu and the group slowly docked at the port of Cocoyashi Village, they found that the entire village was empty. In Ryu's memory, this was a very lively village, so this strange sight was clearly sending a bad signal.
"System, check in"
"Checking in Cocoyashi Village. Congratulations to the crew for gaining +2 dexterity. The effects are being transmitted to the crew."
"Captain, there seems to be something wrong with this village!" said Kuina
"Yeah! It looks like a prosperous village, but the whole street is empty," added Ace
"Yes! Even places like taverns are empty," said Zoro with a disappointed face. Ryu smacked his head mentally at that. Of course Zoro would be focused on the tavern. Even when he was younger, his desire for wine had not changed.
Ryu and his group were walking on the streets of Cocoyashi Village. Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but be very puzzled, and Ryu was also trying to remember what happened in Cocoyashi Village at this time?
this period;
Nami is about seven years old and has been adopted by her adoptive mother Bell-mere together with her sister Nojiko. The family of three originally lived a normal life here, until Arlong and his gang took over the group of villages in this area. Not only did he break the prosperity and tranquility of the entire Cocoyashi Village, but he also directly killed the adoptive mother of the two Nami sisters. Ever since then, the fate of Nami and her sister Nojikochanged completely. In order to survive, they became famous bad girls in the whole East China Sea!
Based on his guess, Ryu believed that today was the day when Bell-mere would die.
"Ryu, I can see it clearly. At this moment, the whole village has been driven to the square, and there is a particularly arrogant non-human pirate. He looks like he is part fish." Sabo scouted ahead and found the disturbance.
Koby cowered," That's Arlong."
When Ryu heard this, his eyes sank. Today is really the day when Bell-Mere would die. What a coincidence!
"Looks like our target is here. Let's not keep him waiting."
"Hey, the captain has spoken, let's go and see what's going on!" said Zoro while stretching his arms.
"Yeah! Lets get him," said Ace
"Ha ha ha ha!" laughed Luffy.
Ryu smiled lightly, without saying a word, he immediately waved his right hand, and led his crew behind him to the square.
...
Ryu's group came to the square of Cocoyashi Village to see, as expected, hundreds of people from the whole village were rushed to the center of the square. At a glance, Ryu saw a valiant strong woman, Bell-mere, who used to be a navy. She could be seen guarding Nami and Nojiko.
"Nokigao, Nami, don't be afraid! Mom is here! As long as Mom is here, I will never let anyone hurt you and the whole village!"
at the same time...
A group of very weird looking pirates, holding weapons, surrounded everyone in their entire village with a fierce look. The person at the head was tall and strong, with a sharp long nose and a jagged shape, which makes people know at a glance that he is not human.
He was the former crew member of the Sun Pirates, the future partner of the future King Qiwuhai Jinbei, and the sawtooth shark man Arlong who wants to dominate the East China Sea relying on his so-called superior genes.
On the square of the East China Sea Cocoyashi Village!
The sawtooth shark man Arlong stood aloofly there, with Xiaoba and other senior cadres standing beside him, as well as dozens of small regular members around him. Hundreds of people in the whole village were forced to kneel down.
Even Bell-mere, who used to be a navy, had to temporarily succumb to his power because of her children beside her!
Ryu watched all of this happening sadly.
"Hahaha! Are you scared."
In an instant, when Arlong's signature laugh was heard, all the villagers present, including Bell-mere, were horrified!
"Hey, don't you know who I am? The famous Sun Pirates know it, right? Hahaha, I am one of them!"
Saying that, the evil dragon directly revealed the sun logo on his chest, showing his glory and pride to everyone present, and it was his greatest asset! In such a time period, the Sun Pirates was an extremely loud name, and everyone in the world knew it, and everyone knew it! After all, they accomplished something no one had done in over 800 years.
"Despite knowing my name, can't you pay the tax I asked you to pay? Well then, I'll give you a choice. You can choose who can live and who can die."
Arlong was amused. After gaining territory in the East Blue, he made the villagers pay a tax for living in his territory. An adult needed to pay 20,000 berri and a child needed to pay 10,000 berri. Right now, he had caught the female navy, who only had 20,000 berri. She could choose to save herself, or kill her children.
Nuoqigao and Nami tightly grabbed the corners of her clothes, but although the two sisters were young, they looked very determined!
"Can't choose, let me make the choice for you then."
At this moment, the evil dragon just finished speaking, and without saying a word, he directly drew out his big saw blade and slashed at Bell-mere without hesitation.
"Anyone who questions us must die!"
"What!!!"
Although Belmer has been in the navy, her strength was limited, and she could deal with ordinary pirates, but she had never encountered a stronger villain like Arlong, so she could not resist.
"Mom" screamed Nami and Nojiko out loud. They were crying on terror as the knife crept closer and closer towards Bell-mere. Just at that moment, before the knife could reach Bell-Mere's throat, it was stopped about a couple of inches away.
Having seen enough, Ryu used Shunpo to reach in front of Arlong's knife in an instant. Shunpo was the reward that he had gotten from getting Usopp in his crew. Ryu didn't have a chance to use Shunpo before, so he used it now.
"What."
Bell-Mere stared in disbelief at the boy who was about her daughter's age in front of her.
"Hey, you little brat, how dare you stand in front of me? Go away." Arlong frowned in displeasure at the sudden interruption. Although he was arrogant, he knew that no ordinary kid could block an attack from him. Especially small human children.
"And let you kill them, no thanks." said Ryu
"Are you a little pirate too? Which pirate group are you from? Are you alone? "
"To deal with a trash fish like you, I'm enough."
"Damn! You guys who don't know how to live or die, you will die by my hands. I'm going to smash every single one of you here into pieces! "
Ryu was speechless. Why did every pirate boast unnecessarily? Just fight already.
"It's just a little devil, how can he be worthy of our captain, let me deal with him!" Hatchan, the octopus man, stepped up.
"Okay. Then leave it to you! Let them know how cruel we are!"
The Six Swordsman Octopus Xiaoba, as the rarest octopus among the Murlocs, like the dragon, he was once a member of the Sun Pirates;
simple and honest appearance;
Simple-minded!
But his strength is not weak at all. With six arms, the Six Blades he uses is not only unique, but also claims to be invincible in the world!
"New! Kid, my swordsmanship is the strongest in the entire East China Sea. If you don't want to die under my sword, quickly take out your weapon!"
Saying that, Octopus Man Hatchan said nothing, and waved the six long knives in his hand.
The villagers in the entire Cocoyashi Village, including Belle-Mere, Nojiko, and Nami, couldn't help but show their faces full of fear!
"Hey, kid, they are the big pirates who came back from the great route, you, you can't be their opponent, so hurry up and escape!" Bell Mere tried to convince Ryu to turn back.
"Young boy, we know that you are a hero! However, if you continue to stand there, you will really die! Please, hurry up and escape!" The other villagers tried to convince Ryu to escape, but Ryu was not budging away.
Hatchan held six swords in his arms and rushed towards Ryu, but he was blocked by Zoro.
"If you want to move on, you need to get past me," said Zoro arrogantly. He had tied a green bandana around his head and held his three swords in his starting pose.
"Haha" laughed Hatchan," little kid, I have six swords, and you have three swords. I have more swords, thus I am stronger than you."
"Stop talking. Fight me."
Without wasting another minute, Zoro rushed with his swords out.
"Three Sword Style: Basic strike."
Hatchan held all of his swords out in confidence, but within a second, he was pushed back..
The villagers stared at Zoro in shock. A Fishman had just been pushed back. A race much stronger than them had been repelled. By a boy younger than ten.
Zoro shook his head contemptuously," Really. This is the strongest. What a shame."
Arlong and his cadre's were stunned. Born in the grand line, they naturally had the right to brag that they were stronger than the others, but here they saw another child just hack a fishman like it was nothing. Nami, and Bell-mere were especially stunned.
" Is this a real pirate?," Nami muttered unconsciously.
"Dammit brats," bellowed Arlong," I had enough of this nonsense. Everyone, kill them all." Having said so, Arlong also took out his long saw blade and led the charge.
Ryu unconsciously let out a smile and said,'' You heard him,let's go! Kuina, Usopp, protect the villagers. Sabo, Luffy, go to their base and clear out all the minions. Ace, Zoro, let's take care of them. By the way, Kuina, give me a spare sword."
Following Ryu's orders, everyone assigned themselves into the battle accordingly. Taking out the sword given to him by Kuina, Ryu faced the onslaught of Arlong head on.
Arlong charged forward confidently and went for a downward slash on Ryu but it was dodged by a simple sidestep. Ryu went forward to stab Arlong's side, but years of combat experience allowed Arlong to escape. Seeing that his opponent was not easy, Arlong retreated to a pool nearby and jumped in. Ryu also jumped in, chasing Arlong. Once underwater, Arlong stopped in his tracks.
"Hah, foolish human child. The water is the source of life for us Murlock's. Here you have no advantages. Die."
Saying so, Arlong straightened up like a sailfish," SHARK ON DARTS!!!"
Rapidly moving, Arlong shot at Ryu crazily as fast as a bullet, but he was immediately shocked when Ryu just took his sword and blocked his attack casually,
"Full Counter"
"Gah-"
The full force of the attack was felt by Arlong and he got to his knees, but the Fishman resilience kept him going. Ryu swam back to the surface and got out of the water. In a state of anger, Arlong ripped out his own teeth and went on a biting spree using his teeth like dentures, while Ryu used Shunpo to dodge Arlong's crazy attack. Eventually, Ryu felt bored and decided to end this farce.
Taking a deep breath, Ryu held his sword over his head and shouted," Sun Breath: Hitomi Clear Sky Kagura." An arc of flames could be seen as Ryu completely chopped Arlong in half. Blood splattered all over the ground as both halves of the body fell onto the ground. Even in his last moments, Arlong had an expression of regret for choosing the East Blue.
"How is this possible? The evil Arlong was actually defeated? He is a big pirate who returned to the East Blue from the great route!"
"The Fishman with a bounty of 20 million Bailey was killed!"
"And he was defeated by an eight-year-old kid!"
"It's unbelievable! Our East Blue Cocoyashi Village finally escaped from the clutches of Arlong. This kid is a hero in our village!"
In an instant, at this very moment, everyone in Cocoyashi Village was cheering and dancing, including Belle-Mere as well as the sisters Nojiko and Nami!
Their eyes all looked at Ryu with worship and gratitude. They also did not look down at the rest of the crew, as they had seen how bravely the entire pirate group had saved them.
When Nami raised her head, she happened to meet Ryu's eyes. Suddenly, at this moment, Nami gave Ryu a sweet smile. Without further ado, he immediately broke free of Belle Mere's arm and ran straight towards Ryu!
Seeing this, the village leader shouted, "Hey, Nami, wait, don't! Although they did save our entire village, they are also pirates!" Nami stopped in place in fright!
The other villagers woke up one after another!
"Wait! Pirates are not good people? Even if they save our entire village, they will definitely ask for something in return like our village!"
"We are very grateful for your help in defeating the dragon in our village! Come on, pirates, what do you want? As long as we can give it, we will do whatever you want. Please let us go!"
With that said, under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers of the entire Cocoyashi Village bent down and pleaded.
At this moment, Ryu saw the true face of the world. This was a world of strength. Only interests mattered to the people. It doesn't matter whether it's the world government, the navy, or the pirates.
"No!"
At the critical moment, Nami plucked up her courage and rushed forward, hugged Ryu directly, and used her actual actions to prove her trust!
"Mr. Captain, they are not ordinary pirates! Not every pirate is as brutal as Arlong, and the real pirates have dreams!When I grow up, I want to be a pirate with a dream. I will become a navigator and draw a world map! This is the ultimate meaning of adventure as a pirate! "
Saying that, Nami raised her head again and stared at Ryu's eyes. Maybe no one else noticed, but she could see clearly at that moment. Ryu only stepped forward just to help her.
Sabo also stepped forward," Don't worry. We only came to help. After this, we will definitely go away."
"Ha ha!"
Hearing this, Ryu smiled slightly. At the same time, he raised his right hand and stroked Nami's little head. "Yes, Nami, as you said, we are not ordinary pirates, we are a group of pirates with dreams, but even if we have dreams we also need to eat too! "
"what!!!"
When the villagers heard this, they all became nervous.Nami stared at Ryu suspiciously, showing a little disappointment! Even his own crew was shocked by the statement.
"Sure enough! You still have to ask for high returns in the end! Tell me, what do you want? You can do anything as long as it doesn't hurt the villagers!"
"Hey, don't you guys understand what Captain Ryu means?"
In an instant, Usopp spoke up, frightening the villagers in Coco Yaxi Village, and everyone couldn't help but slumped to the ground again!
"What do you mean?"
" Captain Ryu has already got it right. We have to eat too! You saved your entire village, won't you even invite us to a banquet?"
"Ah! Treat you to a meal? Is it that simple?"
"That's it?"
The villagers were all incredulous!
When Nami heard this, she didn't say a word. She immediately grabbed Ryu's right hand and led them straight to the tavern in the village!
"Captain Ryu, it's my treat today!"
"Haha, Nami, aren't you the same age as us. How are you rich?"
"Cut! Mr. Captain, don't underestimate you! Although I'm still a child, I'm very rich, and I've saved thousands of Baileys!"
"Wow! Thousands of Baileys! Nami, you are so rich! If that's the case, then we're welcome, we can eat very well!" said Ryu exaggeratedly.
Nami pouted,"It doesn't matter! Captain Ryu, you saved the entire village. That's the least we can do."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Hey, little Nami, don't make your own decisions! We can't take any money from this group of pirates for everything in the village today!."
The village chief leaned on a cane and desperately chased after little Nami from behind! Bell-mere wiped her tears at this sight. Such scenery was very rare and precious in the era set off by Roger.
…
Cocoyashi Village had been suppressed for too long, so once it is released, it is also to vent to the maximum extent. It took almost three days and three nights just to hold a banquet. During this time, everyone has had a tremendous amount of relaxation and joy. After a hearty meal, it was a custom to drink wine.
"Hey, boss, bring out the best wines you have here! I'm going to entertain my friends! I'm paying for the whole show today!"
"Wow, Nami, when did you become so arrogant?"
As soon as the tavern owner saw Ryu's group, without saying a word, he quickly took out all the prepared wine and delivered it directly to them:
"Hey, the village chief has already told us about your deeds! Little Nami, keep your money and go to sea when you grow up! Today it's the entire village's treat."
"But I really am rich," muttered Nami.
"I know, I know! Little Nami, this is a pub! Children are not allowed to drink, but I can give you a glass of juice!"
When Nami heard this,she turned towards Ryu's pirate group where all of them were drinking wine without care except for Ryu, Coby and Kuina.
"Cut! Why can they drink, but I can't?"
"Because I'm already a real pirate."
" I really envy you guys! Captain Ryu , can I also be a pirate on your ship?"
When Ryu heard this, he couldn't help but be excited. This felt all too easy. Baiting her, he said," What can you do?"
"I am the best navigator in our village."
"Sure, but Nami, once you come into our boat, it's till death do us apart. "
"Haha! Nami come join us," yelled Luffy excitedly.
"Haha, it will be nice to finally have a good navigator," sighed Sabo.
"Young Captain!"
Suddenly, at this moment, when everyone was in high spirits, a figure stopped and watched for a while, and finally decided to walk in;This figure is none other than Nami's adoptive mother, Bell-mere, who used to be a navy!
"Yes?"
"Promise me." Bellmere stared deep into Ryu's eyes," Promise me that you will keep her safe."
Ryu looked deep into Bell-mere's eyes and only saw the love and worry of a mother for her child. He stretched out his right pinkie," I promise you Ms. Bell-mere, no harm will befall upon Nami as long as I am a captain."
Bell-mere also held up her right pinkie and together they made a promise.
Ryu then looked at the little lolli Nojiko, who was standing behind her mother,"Nojiko, would you like to become a partner to our crew? You don't need to join us. All you need to do is to keep this town safe."
Nojiko excitedly nodded yes. When the lottery wheel started spinning, it landed on Geass: Lelouch. Seeing this, Ryu felt that she could probably brainwash a couple navy to remain obedient so he told her to use it cautiously.
Ryu also turned towards Nami.
"System, draw a lottery for Nami."
" Ding, the crewmate Nami has obtained the Phoenix Force Fragment. Body is being altered to accommodate the X-Gene."
"Ding, the host's lottery is being drawn. Congratulations to the host for getting the item,' Black Pearl Compass.' The needle shall always point towards wherever the host desires.
At the same time, Nami was changing, with the enhancements brought to her by the island check in's. After she was done she noticed that her hair had become a brighter shade of orange and her pupils reflected a fiery shade of orange as well.
"Are you all right?" Ryu hurriedly checked on her.
"Captain Ryuuu, it's amazing!!! I feel so much better. "
Looking at her excited expression, he could only smile and rub her hair gently. The phoenix force is one of the predominantly strong powers in the marvel universe. If Nami mastered this power, then she could stand among the multiversal gods, but unfortunately, Nami only recieved a fragment of the power.
…
The following day, Ryu went to the naval base with Bell-mere, Koby, and Nojiko. Upon entering the colonel's room, they found Colonel Mouse with his back towards them.
"So soon, didn't the collections happen yesterday. Never mind, keep my 30% share on the desk."
Bell-Mere cleared her throat,"Hehh hmm, it's me Colonel Mouse."
Colonel mouse looked at Bell-mere with displeasure," How many times do I have to say it. Our navy has patrolled the surrounding villages. There are no pirates. Go away!!!"
Koby looked at the colonel with disbelief. Growing up, he had always idolized the navy and wanted to join, but looking at the environment, Koby wondered if the navy really safe-guarded justice.
Ryu cleared his throat," Nojiko."
"Yes, big brother Ryu."
Saying so, Nojiko stepped in front of Colonel Mouse," I order you to safeguard the surrounding area's will. Redistribute your wealth to the injured families." saying so, Nojiko fainted, but Bell-mere caught her.
Under the control of the geass, Colonel Mouse changed. He began to gather the navy and fire the corrupt ones. He became a just navy and made his base one of the best in the four sea's before the grandline. But of course, this had nothing to do with Ryu.
The following day, Ryu took Nami into the boat, where Nami took charge as the navigator of the ship, The Going Merry. Setting sail, Nami bid farewell to the rest of the villagers, and together, they left for the next destination.
