19-A Challenge and a Promise

The straw-hats were looking completely baffled and even kinda scared , mostly the girl and the long nose . It was awkward so I broke the silence and said :"Well that's nice I guess ."

Luffy, with starry eyes shouted :"WOW ! HOW did you get your bounty so high !?"

Dannyl then interjected :"Well , we did destroy half Loguetown , decimated all Marines in the base except for some few ones , crippled the Base Commander and murdered 4 of the captains that came as reinforcements along with all the low ranks with them . So yeah , kinda understandable ."

"IT WAS YOU GUYS !?" Nami shouted in utter fear and shock . The straw-hats looked weirdly at me as if I was some kind of monster .

"Oh dang it ! I really wanted to sea where the Pirate King was executed but when I came I found the city was destoyed . " Shouted Luffy from the side .

"The poeple didn't speak at all and some started insulting the Marines saying that the Base Commander was the one who caused that huge mess !"

Honestly , it was pretty hilarious seeing their reactions , so I cocked my head back laughing and the other two joined me in my laughter . I ended up saying in pure joy:" SU SU SU ! So the whole thing wasn't for nothing ! Look ! even you guys got your bounty and surnames !" But when I said it , Glint turned to the side and started avoiding eye-contact "Uh- Glint?"

The mass of green liquid continued to ignore me , is it pouting ?

" Don't let it get to you girl ! You'll have your bounty soon enough ." As I said it , I put my hand on her 'head' and started patting her . She stopped pouting and jumped on my back . Huh? This is kind of a weird way to express joy , it's as if she treats me as a parent or something . Well , not that I mind it or anything . It's a pretty good feeling . The straw-hats were looking at me weirdly so I said:" Oh ! Guys, meet Glint ! She's the last current crewmate !"

Hachi , who kept silent for the whole time eyed Zoro with a fierce eye that didn't escape the latter .

Zoro :" Want something?" He said it in a challenging tone .

Hachi looked at him for a little moment and then said :" Roronoa Zoro ! I wish to have a rematch !"

Zoro smirked and then said :" Anyt-"

Crocus:"So who are you guys anyway ?"

Zoro seemed embarassed and angry at the old guy and all the others laughed at him , including me .

Zero:" STOP LAUGHING!"

Marthin:" SU SU SU , oh well , sorry man don't take it to heart . But for the fight you'll have to keep it for another time . We're gonna get out of this whale since we rested enough . And Gramps ."

Crocus:"Yes?"

Marthin:"Thanks , it was a really enjoyable experience to meet you ."

Crocus smiled at me and then with the same grin on his face he says :"Who are you again?"

"..." ' Ok , IMMA KILL HIM .' * inhale * * exhale*

Marthin:"Anyway . Bye guys , we're getting out now . Oh and those two clowns you caught are getting away ."

Luffy:"Oh , they really are ."

In the distance the two clowns started doing some evil laughter and ramble bullshit about how much money they'll get from killing the whale . This didn't really rile me up or anything but what Crocus did next was really badass . He took on a cannon head on from that crown wearing clown . While I can take on a cannon head on and shrug it off as nothing it's really suprising how an old man can be that resistant .

After some time , Laboon started his seizure thingy and was calmed down by the doctor Crocus . He told Luffy and his friends about Laboon's story wich touched them and we got out from the whale's stomach , to wich ensued a fight between the whale and Luffy wich finished with the promise that he will come again after accomplishing his dream . It's honestly pretty touching how this dumb kid manages to do some great things to poeple near him , from what I saw at least .

Hachi looked one last time at Zoro , to wich Zoro nodded and we all got on the Necro Navis and waved the straw-hats goodbye . I don't know why , but I feel that we will meet again .

As we were sailing , going further and further away , Dannyl suddenly talked to me who was steering the wheel as Glint wanted to play with the other two .

Dannyl:" Where are we going BTW ?"

Marthin:" Ah !..."

Dannyl , while narrowing his eyes :" Don't say that-"

Marthin:" I might have forgotten to get a Loguepose from Crocus ."

Dannyl :"HOW!? YOU WERE LITTERALLY WITH HIM FOR OVER TWO WEEKS !?"

Marthin:" WELL IT'S NOT EASY EVERYDAY , YOU KNOW !"

Dannyl :" Haahhh , Oh well guess we'll be going around blindly ."

Marthin:"....I'm sorry ."

Dannyl shrugged and Hachi just laughed as this was the first time I forgot to bring something so important with me .

After several days of sailing , we finally reached a pretty small island with nothing much going down there .

Until it started going into chaos as we docked at the port , huh , I guess that pirates are really hated .

"You ." I pointed to an unucky guy who couldn't escape in time .

"Me!?" He pointed at himself while cursing his luck .

"Who else is there beside you ?" Litterally no one could be seen on the village near the port

"You're kinda right , I guess?" The man said and I then asked him :" What's this island's name ? Oh and the village also ."

The man looked somewhat suprised as I didn't try to rape or kill anyone yet . Sorry dude , not that kind of pirate , more like Science Pirates more than the Necros personally .

The man started stuttering slightly and then said with his hands in front of him in case I , or my buddies try to do something .

"O-Oh this Island's name is-"

"Don't say anything to the filthy pirates , John ! Remember who tiranised us for the couple years they were there !"
