Chapter 28

His bodyguards ran towards me.

"Don't underestimate me, you bastards!"

I unsheathed my swords.

*ROAR*

*WOOSH*

*THUD* x5

All his bodyguards fell down dead.

I glared at him.

"You're next."

I sheathed one sword back.

He was heavily shaking, but he smirked when he pressed a button on a weird Den Den Mushi.

"You peasant will die here today!"

I didn't care what he was talking about.

*WOOSH*

I ran towards him.

I was about to hit him when I saw a flash of light in the corner of my eye.

'Shit, I'm going to be hit.'

*WOOSH*

I suddenly got pulled back, and the light just passed me by a hair.

I looked at the one who saved me and saw Garp.

He glared at me.

"Didn't I tell you to stay out of their way!"

I glared back.

"I wanted to leave, but he didn't let me. And he ordered his guard to kill me. You know what happens to people who threaten me."

*BAM*

He hit me on my head.

"This isn't the time to be stubborn."

Kizaru suddenly appeared in front of the Celestial Bastard.

"Why did you save him?" asked Kizaru

"He is my disciple."

"But you know what happens to those that oppose the Celestial Dragons."

"You don't have to worry about that. I will take care of it myself."

"What are you standing around for! You're an Admiral, right? So kill that brat!" said the Celestial Bastard

Garp glared at him.

"Waah!"

The Celestial Bastard fell of the skinny guy.

"Argh! How dare you look at me like that! You are also a marine, right? So how dare you protect that brat! You stupid Admiral, kill the both of them right now!"

Kizaru looked just as high as ever.

"I'm sorry, sir, but fighting against him is just a death sentence. He is the strongest marine, after all."

"But I can't let this go!"

"All I can do is guarantee your safety."

"Tsk. Bring me back home, and I'll show him what happens when you mess with a god."

A little bit later, the two of them were gone.

*BAM*

"What were you thinking, you brat! Do you know how hard it will be for you not to be killed and for me to keep my job!"

"I know that you're not that weak, and be honest, you also want to give those Celestial Bastards a nice hit on the head."

"Tsk. Shut up and let's go back home."

"Are you done with work?"

"I don't feel like working today."

[Flashback end]

"Damn, you're one lucky guy." said Deuce

"But seeing how much Garp cared for you, I almost feel bad for him that you ditched him like that." said Robert

"Don't worry; I will make it up to him one day. And I know that deep down he isn't mad. But let's stop talking about my boring past and focus on our future full of adventures!"

[1 week later]

"Land ahoy!" said Sabo

"Find a good place to hide the ship."

We hid our ship and went onto land.

"What are your orders, captain?" asked Laffitte

I smiled at them.

"My orders are to have fun."

"What do you mean? Are we supposed to use having fun as a front and do something in the dark?" asked Deuce

"Nope, just have fun."

"Ey guys, I think we left our captain on Drum Island." said Robert

"Sigh. If you don't get out of my sight and have fun this instant, I will quadruple your training."

*WOOSH* x5

They disappeared.

'I want this journey to be fun, so I can't just let them do work all the time.'

I disappeared.

[2 hours later]

I appeared in the city, Alubarna. This is the capital city, where the Alabasta Royal Palace is.

'Let's enjoy my time here a little.'

I covered my face with a cloth from a shop and toured around the city.

'This is so fricking boring. Let's just do what I came here to do.'

*WOOSH*

I disappeared.

I appeared at the wall of the Palace and used geppo to get up. I made sure not to be spotted by the guards and slipped in.

I first went to the throne room, but I didn't find him there, so I started searching through the palace for him. I was using my Haki to sense people's presence. After 30 minutes of searching, I arrived at a pretty big door.

I looked around and used my Haki. There was no one in the vicinity, and there is only one person in the room. I used Shigan to make a small eye hole in the wall. I looked through it.

'Bingo, that's the king.'

I just opened the door and walked in. He was about to get angry, till I took off the cloth and he saw my face.

*THUD*

He fell on his ass.

"What… what are you doing here!?"

"Be quiet. I came here to help you."

"Help me?"

"This isn't a good place to talk, so let's go somewhere else."

I opened the window and grabbed him.

"Huh!?"

*WOOSH*

We disappeared from there.

"AAAHHH!"

He was screaming for his life.

"Shut up!"

He immediately stopped screaming.

I was using geppo to stay high enough to not be spotted.

[10 minutes later]

We appeared in the middle of the dessert.

"Huf, huf, huf. I almost had a heart attack!"

"I'm sorry, but I don't like wasting time, so let's get to the matter at hand. I know who is using the Dance Powder."

"What! Who is it!?"

"Crocodile, of course."

"What! Why would he."

"Sigh. You're so stupid. He is a pirate. What did you expect him to do? Did you really think that he's a hero? Sigh."

"How can you prove it? And aren't you also a pirate? So what do you want for helping me?"

"I have enough way's to prove it. And yes, I won't be doing this for free. I want 1.000.000.000 berries and Alabasta as my territory."

"What! What you're asking is outrageous. I can just ask the world government for help."

"Hahaha, do you really think that they'll help you? They'll just come here for a little bit, and after finding nothing, they will go back. Do you really think that crocodile is stupid? He has been planning this for years, so I'm sure that he would have thought of a plan to get rid of the marines."

"But…"

"Oh, and for his plan to succeed, he needs to start a civil war, which will kill thousands of your people."

"What!"

"You're screaming what a lot. Stop acting like a brat and start acting like a king. I will promise you to take care of Crocodile and his organization if you grant my requests."

He calmed down and looked at me with clear eyes.
