14-To The Grand Line (part 1)

Luffy watched the man as he was writing on a notebook , he was surprised when he saw his side . The cut was pretty much no longer there ! Between all of them , Sanji was the most wounded as what he felt from that kick felt like Pearl smashing his head a 100 times over . Zoro just had trouble breathing and he would get dizzy and feel like vomiting after standing up , Ussop just had a broken nose and bruised eyes , nothing much . Luffy stared at the room and he didn't know where he was , he also saw that Hachi guy with bandages all over his chest area but he surprisingly looked fine , he was just a bit shaken up from his expression .

---Hachi P.O.V---

'I can't believe Arlong lost so miserrably and tasked me with appologising to his son and family , he must really have faith in me . He also trust humans , that's surprising .' He then turned to the green-haired man that waved at him , he waved back and thought 'Don't worry Arlong , if you believe that this human has the right to enter the fishmen' country , and you even asked me to help them , I WILL NOT DISAPOINT YOU'

---Marthin P.O.V---

As he waved to the pink man he thought to himself :'What an idiot .'

---FLASHBACK---

Hachi:" Where the hell am I , Arlong , where are you!?"

Marthin:"Oh I see you woke up , that Arlong guy was handed to the Marines , by the way , read this totally not forged note that was 'obviously' written by Arlong."

---God P.O.V---

'What an idiot' UHUHUM *COUGH*

Well then let's go back to the story , Luffy looked at the man and asked if Marthin wanted to join him , he obviously declined and said :"You don't really believe that I'll be there to save your ass and heal you just so that you can get your ass handed to you again by the same person , but you actually manage to beat him this time with more injuries than last time , do you?"

Darryl laughed his ass off at this exchange , and continued giving a tour to Hachi , the new recruit .

And suddenly a question popped in Marthin's mind . What will happen if a Fishman ate a Devil fruit , would they gain the Fruit's power and lose their territorial advantage or will they be able to swim and still have the power , he doubted the second hypothesys as none of Arlong' s crew had any Devil fruit . Even if Devil fruits were rare in East Blue , in the New World , almost every powerhouse had a Devil fruit or just was a monster . All the admirals have Devil fruits and 3 out of 4 of the Yonko had fruits with the only exception being Red-hair Shanks for pirates and Vice-admiral Monkey .D. Garp who is the strongest Vice-admiral .

A week later and the straw hats rested and were deposited on the Cocoyasi village since they still have their ship there . Marthin began training Hachi in the forms of Haki , and surprisingly , Hachi had talent in Armament but could not use Observation all that proficiently wich Marthin found funny . He had the strongest and most stable Haki out of the three but he was all-rounded in pretty much all aspects , if given the time , Darryl will have the most precise Haki along with the strongest blunt-powered atracks as he had complete control over his inhumane strength , Hachi will have devastating Haki that will be able to cut through steel like paper and he will have the most unexpected and refined technique , his way of the sword is unpredictable , and with 6 arms to top that , no one will be able to read his attacks . Marthin now was happy , he had a leader , a pure phisical attacker , a powerful and unpredictable technique . What he lacks now is intelligence gathering and assassination , someone to handle the cuisine other than him even if it doesn't bother him to cook he wasn't the best there was and Sanji was proof of that . A ranged fighter , like a sniper or someone with a powerful Devil fruit . A navigator and finally and most importantly a Secretary . A wise man one said :"If there was work to do , met the secretary do it . And when there is nothing to do , do the secretary " But more seriously , Marthin really needed help with some of his experiments and he believed that with the help of someone , he will be able to give far more results in his theories and experiments . Oh and he tried force-feeding a Fishman pirate a useless fruit he found , it made him glow in the dark and Marthin found it hilarious when he saw the light sinking but not being able to move at all , he didn't need to worry about the pirate dying from hunger , since he also force fed him a strong slow poison , it might hurt far more than hunger , but seriously , he didn't care . He is no saint and he is no villain , he lives to accomplish his dream and help his friends accomplish theirs , he got close to Hachi and he heard that the man wanted to go back to his country and open a takoyaki stand , Marthin and Darryl found the irony so hilarious . An octopus cooking another octopus , how could they keep a straight face after hearing that . And now finally the time has come , Grand Line , New World , we are coming !
