Chapter 163: Meeting up with Luffy in Wano

I followed the path that Luffy and Zoro took to go after Gazelleman. By the time I reached the city I saw a crowd of people cheering for the Sumo matches that were taking place. I saw who was wrestling but I wasn't surprised to Luffy going against the biggest Sumo I have ever seen. How the fuck is it fair that the Sumo is practically bigger than the ring but the ring is still regulation size? Then has the nerve to call himself the greatest Sumo wrestler in the world. Everyone there started cheering for the wrestler named Urashima. I gave no fucks…

Sage: BOOO!!! YOU FAT BITCH, LOOK AT THOSE JELLYROLLS!!!

Everyone turned around and looked at me in anger. I smiled as I relished in their hatred. I walked to the booth that were making bets, took out a bag full of gold from my dimensional pocket and placed it on the table.

Sage: 200 Million Gold on the little guy to win.

The Crowd: NANI!!!!???? (What. Sorry, I love it when they scream that lol)

Urashima: HMPH!! First you insult my perfect Sumo body and now you insult my ability?! Who do you think you are?! TSK! You're just a fool who will lose a ton of money.

Luffy: Huh?! Is that Sage! Zorojuro, look (While pointing) It's Sage!

Zoro drew near me as he greeted me.

Zoro: Hey Sage, when did you get here?

Sage: Not long. What's the situation? Why is Luffy sumo wrestling with that fat bitch?

Zoro: We came to Wano to help Momosuke. You weren't there for it but he's a friend. You already know Luffy, he pretty much does whatever seems fun.

Sage: That I know.

While we were talking, Zoro introduced me to O-kiku. I was told what had happened and why they were here. While watching us converse the sumo Urashima spotted us and yelled out…

Urashima: O-KIKUUUUUUU!!!!! So you followed me here after all! Have you decided to be my bride?!

The Crowd: What did he say!? She's going to marry Urashima!?

O-Kiku was hiding behind Zoro, which I found hilarious because she had at least three feet taller than him. Urashima ordered the other sumo minions he had with him to come take O-Kiku to him. Zoro nor I did anything to stop them from abducting her but when she reached Urashima Urashima tried to hug her and O-kiku, with sword in hand, chopped off the Top Knot, Sumo hair style, from Urashima.

Luffy: AWESOOOMMMEE!!! KIKU IS SO COOL!! IT'S GETTING INTERESTING NOW!!

Urashima was already facing Luffy but since the fight didn't start and he wanted to grab O-Kiku, Urashima was enraged. The Top Knot of a Yokozuna is extremely important to them so he made a right handed thrust towards O-Kiku but Luffy managed to stop him.

Urashima: Get out of my way!! If I don't rip O-Kiku limb from limb…MY HONOR WILL BE TAINTED!!!

Luffy: All right! I'll let you do that, but only if you can beat me!!

Their bout finally started but it only made Urashima angrier. He started by thrusting rapid palm strikes but Luffy dodged it all with ease. The crowd was surprised by Luffy's agility but they were still convinced that Urashima will win. Because of my bet many people in the crowd bet against me so that they can get a piece of the 200 million in gold. After dodging all of Urashima's attacks, Luffy was ready to strike back. He stretched out his right arm, enlarged it and slapped the shit out of Urashima. The impact was awesome, like someone bellyflopping from a high place on still water. Since Urashima was so big, Luffy's giant hand managed to slap the entirety of Urashima, sending him flying through the city.

Seeing as Urashima lost, I collected my winnings. People in the crowd recognized Zoro because apparently, he killed someone before meeting up with Luffy. When they saw that we were together the crowd moved away from us. They were calling out the big boss of the town to give back Tama. In response to all the noise a big guy with a lion for a stomach appeared. In the mouth of the lion he had Tama tied up. According to the murmuring of the crowd, the bodd of the city was called Holdem, a Headliner for Kaido. Luffy got pissed off when he saw the ridiculous lion head bite Tama so he used his speed to punch the lion head and snatch Tama. Zoro and I dealt with the flunkies.

Holdem: Kamijiro!! (The lion heads name) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!! GO GET THAT GIRL BACK!!!!

As we were confronting Holdem, a giant boat shaped cart carrying provisions was being towed by a Headliner with the Horse Smile named Speed. I told them to steal the cart and run away. I know that we didn't need to run away as I could have easily killed them all but, where would the fun be in that? When we jumped on Luffy saw that Tama had very red cheeks and asked her why were they red? Infuriated by her answer, Luffy went up to Holdem and used his Red Hawk, knocking him out in one blow. From that attack I saw Luffy's old habits again, leaving an enemy alive. I left left with Zoro and the provisions and met up with Luffy later.

Sage: So, Tama can make Kibidango (Millet dumpling) from her cheeks to make animals and Zoan-type users tame and obey her orders?

Luffy: Yeah. Pretty cool huh?

Sage: Honestly, she can be Kaido's biggest enemy. She can make it possible to turn his entire army against him. No wonder they were deperate to find her.

Zoro: How did you know that they were deperate to find her?

Sage: From the memories of the grunts I killed before meeting you guys. I also killed that bat thing, which held more information.

Luffy: Ohhhh. Nice. If we know that they are looking for her we can protect her. Sage, when did you get here?

Sage: Not too long ago. I stopped by Amazon Lily before coming here. How come it's only you and Zoro, where is everyone else?

Luffy: The others came to Wano before we did so we were going to meet up.

We arrived back in the Leftover town and gave the provisions away. When Luffy and Zoro first left to chase after Tama I had already cleared the town of Kaido's men so there was no other worries. During the escape we met up with Trafalgar Law. I knew about the alliance that his pirate crew had with the Straw hats but I wasn't there for it so I might as well act the part for shits and giggles.

Sage: Hey Luffy, what's with that guy who hitched a ride? Should I waste him?

Luffy: AAAAHHHHH!!!! That's right! You weren't here when we formed an alliance.

Zoro: How could you forget to tell Sage of all people? He could've killed Trafa-guy easily. Baka-Luffy.

Trafalgar: So this is your other crew member? I didn't know it was the guy that killed the Tenryuubito and the Admirals during the war on Marineford. But how would you know if he could have killed me if we weren't in an alliance?

Sage: I can hear the shaking in your voice as you said that. Technically speaking, the Straw Hats don't need an alliance to kill off a simple Yonko like you do, but then, the journey will be boring otherwise. I am willing to spar with you if you still have doubts.

I smiled as I sensed his hesitation. As I gripped Shinigami I let out a burst of my Haki but kept it to a minimum, I didn't want to scare Kaido for the upcoming battle. The moment Trafalgar lifted his hat and saw my smile his resolution was still there which made my smile wider, showing my teeth. These are the types of people that I like. He knows I can obliterate him like a bug but he still stands up to me, he shows guts in the face of fear. I ease my grip because his long pause said that he wasn't willing.

The big dog looking thing carried us to the ruins of Oden's castle after leaving leftover town. O-kiku, Zoro, Luffy, Law and I reached the place only to have Zoro wander off. Law explained that Kinemon was going to show up soon. After a while he did show up with Momonosuke in the back practicing kendo. A minute later, Sanji, Brook, Nami, Chopper and Carrot came to greet us. Carrot did not know who I was so she hid behind Luffy and started to shake uncontrollably. Even though anthropomorphized, her animal instincts let her know that I was dangerous. After being calmed down and given an answer, Carrot warmed up to me. Just like that, I was reunited with the crew, well, half at least.
