A few days later.
While resting from training, I heard a sound of something. Looking at where the sound came from, I see that it was Luffy dropping something heavy. Well, it's not in my interest for now.
At that moment Zoro was sleeping, I really wanted to ask again if he could train with me. When I asked him once, he refused. That's because Zoro is not motivated, he has just finished training with his master, and soon after he went out to explore the world and look for the greatest swordsman, Mihawk.
Zoro thinks he's already at that level, so I don't see him training as in the anime, he probably will only start doing that after realizing the difference between him and Mihawk. When that happens I will be there to train with him, it will be much better than asking him several times and annoying him.
About the training, I gained a lot from him. My speed is almost on par with Kuro's, and this is because my training consisted of improving my physique, making it more flexible, my body is adapting more and more with the One Piece world, even though the training is not for improve my strength, it was constantly improving.
Also, I need to get a new weapon, using knives to fight is not ideal. An enemy with a strong defense will be able to defend easily from them. Nor are they ideal for playing. In short, I have to change my whole form of struggle.
"Buummmmm." An exploding sound occurs, curious as it was, I stopped my training temporarily and went towards the staff.
"What happened ?." I ask as I see Luffy and Usopp near the cannon, Usopp getting ready to shoot.
"Did you stop with that stupid training?. Well they are testing the cannon, Luffy missed the shot, this time the one who will try is Usopp." I see Nami approaching me when she saw me coming.
"Hey, training is not bullshit, you will see, the next time we fight I will be much stronger." I say after pouting. They are underestimating the power of training.
The sound of exploding stone sounds through the ship.
"... Usopp is really good with these things, isn't he." I speak to Nami, Usopp really was good at things like that, it is not for less that he is recognized as the sniper of the group.
Zoro had also woken up by the noise. After everyone calmed down about what happened, we went up to the deck, I accompanied them, since rest is also part of the training.
"Kotarou, why do you keep doing those movements every day?. Are you wanting to learn to dance?." Luffy asks me while we rested on the deck. He was scratching his nose ... This is very weird ....
"No, Luffy, this is a training I am doing. If we go to the Grand Line, I have to be prepared, I am very weak even here in East Blue, which is known as the weakest of the 4 oceans, I almost can't defeat the people here . " Here's the truth, if I faced Kuro, Buggy, or someone with a great defense, like the big brother that Zoro faced, I would have lost to them.
"4 oceans?." Luffy, Usopp and Zoro looked curious.
"These are the oceans that exist before the Grand Line, they are peaceful unlike hers. They are called North Blue, South Blue, East Blue and West Blue." It was not me who answered this, but Nami. I think it's normal for her to recognize the 4 oceans, not everyone knows about them, but as a navigator she is almost obliged to know about them.
"Ohhhh." Luffy and Usopp looked delighted. Zoro, on the other hand, seemed to have remembered about them.
"So, I've been thinking here with me and before we go to the Grand Line, we need a person on the crew." Luffy started talking, I already know who we need.
"It's true. The ship has such a well-equipped kitchen. If you pay me, I'll even cook." Can Nami cook? ... I couldn't help thinking of her with an apron cooking ... I think Nami felt something, since she looked at me with a poisonous look.
"It's nice to have a cook for a long trip." That was Zoro ... I think that after he meets Sanji he will regret saying that.
"I already know what we need for the Ship." Yes Luffy ... What we need is a ...
"From a musician." Luffy and I talk at the same time.
"You are idiots ?." That was Zoro
"What do you think is sailing?." Nami ... How do you expect us to travel without a musician? They are essential.
"And I thought I was going to give you an idea that I could do." But we gave ....
"I even expected this from Luffy, but from you Kotarou? ...." Usopp ....
"But a musician is so cool ... When we are bored, he cheers us up, a musician can even dance ..... He is essential for a ship ...." I try to justify myself.
"Yes, yes, pirates are always singing." Luffy is also on my side, I knew you understood me.
Before we can continue the conversation, I hear the sound of things being broken outside the cabin.
"Where are you pirates ???." I hear someone screaming outside. Worse still, I hear the sound of Merry being broken. It made my face palate.
I run with Luffy out of the cabin.
"Hey Hey, who do you think you are to destroy Merry?." Scream outside the cabin.
"Shut up. It doesn't matter who I am." He yells back and attacks Merry, destroying another piece of her. It pisses me off a lot.
"You fool." My face burned with rage, and then with my new speed, I end up sending the guy flying with a kick in the belly.
"Ghaaaaa." I hear him scream and spit blood, and then hit his body on the other side of the ship. Destroying Merry a little more.
He soon gets up, even with his mouth bleeding he speaks.
"Okay, buddy. I've lost count of how many pirates I've killed. And nobody like you tried to kill my guy." He attacks me again, but I owed it easily, and he ended up hitting his sword on Merry's floor.
My anger was already at the limit, with my speed, I appeared in his back and kicked him there, sending him face to face with another Merry wall.
"You idiot, you're going to fix Merry." My anger was already at the limit, I just didn't use my knives on this idiot, because Zoro knew him.
"Hey, You. You are Jhonny, aren't you?." Zoro appears from outside the cabin.
And then they start to cover, because of my bad mood, I left the place, and went to get some wood to fix Merry.
When I came back to the place, carrying the wood, I see that someone else's body is in place. Nami then descends from the deck and says that in the past this disease of the sea was deadly but that today, everyone knows that this is caused by a lack of vitamin C. Luffy and Usopp then start to express lemon in the man's mouth, which makes him better , and start to dance, soon the guy faints again, putting him in one of the rooms we went back to the cabin. It was already dark at that time.
"Are you in a bad mood Kotarou?." Asks Nami approaching me.
"Yes, they destroyed our ship ..." I was really mad at that fact.
"Sorry. I'll fix it, I promise you that." Jhonny bows to me, it makes my mood improve a little.
"Okay ... I'll forgive you for destroying Merry." Since he apologized, he had no reason to continue with this matter.
"May this be a lesson." Nami comments, that was for everyone.
"Yes. That kind of thing could very well happen on a long trip." Zoro is correct ...
"This kind of thing can happen, even more because we have little space to store food during the trip." You are also right Usopp.
"A musician is important, but the cook is also ... He knows how to share the food and what is necessary for the trip ..." I tell everyone, although I really want a musician, I understand the need for a cook.
"Yes, we need someone to take care of the kitchen." Nami complemented my speech.
"Kitchen ... Yes, let's go after a sea cook." Luffy screams and gets up from the chair to emphasize his speech.
"That's right. There are going to be a lot of nice things for us to eat all the time." It is a good Usopp point.
"That's right." I know what you're thinking Luffy .... You are going to invade the fridge all night.
"If you are looking for a Chief, I know where you can find one." Jhonny begins to explain to us, about a ship that is a kitchen, he was close to the Grand Line. And since we are going to meet Sanji, this trip is certainly worth it.
"And they say that the guy you're looking for," Falcão Eyes ", walks around that place." This caught everyone's attention, including me. That's where Zoro will face Mihawk.
"You just have to head northeast." This encouraged everyone, since everyone was smiling ... But for now we should rest, right?.
Good night. Author here, sorry that this chapter is so short and similar to the original, but there is nothing to do, it would end up skipping important parts of the story.
I'll try to post another chapter today to make up for it. Thank you for supporting my story, I hope you are having fun with it.
