Chương 98: Chapter 98: Adelle and Fake Eternal Log Pose
Ben walked back to the coast where he left the girls. He saw and heard pirates crying and had the look of sadness in their eyes. Ben thought Marianne powers are slightly overpowered if you don't know the weakness.
"I wanna go home," a pirate cried. Ben then walked towards where the boy was tied up. Ben knew this was not a boy but a girl who due to her clothes was mistaken for a boy
He saw Kaya uniting the girl. Marianne, Nojiko, Mikita and Alvida were all standing around the frightened girl who had stopped crying. The girl wore a large white cap, and she sported big brown overalls that go up to her chest with patches stitched onto them. She wore a long sleeved blue shirt with a collar, light brown gloves and brown shoes.
"There we have got you," Kaya tried to assure her.
"Hey girls, look like everyone is taken care off," Ben greeted.
"Yes, the scum are gone," Kaya said.
"Scum?" Ben asked.
"They had sold children as slaves and when their mum tried to interfere, they beat her to death," Nojiko replied. Ben was caught off guard by that. There was not much on Willy or his crew in the story. In fact some of these pirates were filler for another arc.
Kaya had united the girl. Ben transformed back into his human form and hugged Nojiko. "It is alright," he whispered. Nojiko hugged back and quietly sobbed on Ben`s shirt.
The girl grabbed a sword off the floor and pointed it at the crew. "Stay back or I will hurt you," she said. Her hand was shaking.
"Boy, we just saved you," Mikita said.
"Put the sword down," Alvida said.
Alvida slowly approached her. Marianne grabbed her paint brush and was ready to dip it in some paint.
"Stay back and hand me your treasure," she said.
"We are not here to hurt you," Kaya said. She put her hands up and walked slowly towards her.
Mikita had sneaked around when Kaya and Alvida spoke. The girl's attention was focused on them and Mikita kicked the sword from her hand. The force of the kick knocked her to the ground and her white hat dropped. There they saw her long brown hair.
"Mikita," Kaya said.
Mikita shrugged her shoulders.
"You are a girl?" Marianne said.
"Yes I am," she replied.
"I am Kaya, what is your name?" she asked as extended her arm.
"I am," she muttered. "I am Adelle," she finally said.
"What a beautiful name, like I said I am, Kaya, this is Alvida, Mikita, Marianne, Nojiko and Ben," Kaya said.
"What are you doing here?" Alvida asked.
"They said you were sneaking on the ship," Kaya added.
"Why should I tell you anything?" Adelle replied.
"We saved your life. From the sounds of it they were going to sell you off as a slave," Mikita said.
Adelle was a bit shocked to hear that. "I can't I need to save my grandpa," she yelled.
Nojiko had stopped crying and was not resting her head on Ben`s chest. "Thank you," she said.
"I am always here for you," Ben replied.
Ben approached Adelle. "You grandpa is on Gasparde's ship," Ben said.
"You are part of Gasparde Pirates?" Marianne questioned.
"A spy?" Mikita asked.
"Calm down girls," Ben said. He leaned forward. "I know your grandpa is ill and you are trying to help him," Ben said.
"How do you know?" Addled asked in tears.
"I know that Gasparde has asked you to steal and kill other for some medicine that could save your grandpa," Ben replied.
"How cruel," Alvida commented.
"Using a child like this," Kaya added.
"My crew will be going after Gasparde and we will take him down and save your grandpa," Ben declared.
"But they are strong," Adelle replied.
"So are we," Ben answered. He looked at the girls and he was proud of the progress they were making. Even though there was a long way to go, they were truly on their way. Ben smiled.
"I will defeat Gasparde," Ben declared.
"Captain is thinking of something pervert," Kaya said.
"He always is," Nojiko replied.
"I wonder if it is about me," Mikita added.
"Girls," Alvida pointed to Adelle.
Adelle was taken back by the scene. "Don't mind them," Ben said.
"Captain, we should get back on track," Nojiko said.
"Time is ticking my love," Alvida said.
"There is no need to hurry," Ben replied.
"But the other pirates might get to Partia before us and win," Mikita said.
"They all have that Eternal Log Pose," Marianne said.
Ben chuckled. "That log pose is rigged. It takes you to a navy base," Ben said.
The girls were shocked to hear that.
"What?" Mikita said.
"How do you know?" Kaya asked.
"Well, Gasparde has been winning for many years without a challenge. Also something does not feel right," Ben said.
"I don't know the race seems legitimate," Mikita said.
"But this is pirates we are talking about," Marianne replied.
"There is always a possibility," Kaya said.
"How are we going to get to Partia now?" Nojiko asked.
Ben actually was not sure. He remembered in the movie that Chopper had a good sense of smell and they were able to find Gasparde.
"The two ways to traverse the grandline is either the Eternal Log Pose or a vivre card," Ben said.
"Vivre card?" Kaya asked.
"It is a special paper which locks on to a person's life and points towards the person. If the paper gets smaller then that means they are dying," Ben explained.
Adelle reached into her pocket. "A lady with pink hair in the cell of the ship gave me this paper," Adelle said.
"She said giving this will let people come to her," Adelle added.
"Perfect, we can use this to get to Gasparde and defeat him," Nojiko said.
"Who`s vivire card is that my love?" Alvida asked.
"I don't know," Ben replied. Ben thought a female with pink hair does not narrow it down too much in the One Piece world.
"So Adelle you also left for medicine and to save this girl?" Ben asked.
"I thought I could give this paper to the Marines for money to buy medicine," Adelle said.
Ben looked to the ocean and saw that the Miss Love Duck had already docked on the coast and lowered the bridge. The water was deep enough for the Web Panic so it will be deep enough for the Miss Love Duck.
"Okay girls let's board the ship and follow the vivire card," Ben said. The girls nodded back.
They walked towards the ship and walked on the bridge and onto the deck.
"Nojiko, I found this map with Willy," Ben said. Ben handed over the map to Nojiko.
"Okay, let's see," Nojiko said. She opened the map and Ben saw the Letter "D" on the backside of the map. It had the same symbol as the two labs previously.
"That's the same symbol as the lab my love," Alvida pointed out.
"How did Willy get this map?" Kaya asked.
"I don't know however he knew there was something going to be here," Ben replied.
"Treasure?" Mikita asked.
"Maybe or another lab," Ben said.
"Let's go and check it out," Marianne said.
Vivi came to the deck with Karoo. "You are all okay," Vivi said in relief.
"We are fine," Mikita replied.
"We took them out," Kaya said.
Nojiko looked and studied the map.
