Chapter 97

We came to the ship without any problems and without hassles with the sentinels. Hoisted the sails and set sail, also without incident. The Marines were still chasing pirates to the archipelagos, but I think this will be over soon. Unfortunately, all Super Rookies have already sailed away. It was unpleasant, it was worth killing a couple of them, and now I was left without extra glasses. Well, nothing can be done, in this case I have another plan ...

Now our way lay to a small heavenly island, finally it was worth picking up our new doctor, if, of course, she agreed to sail with us. We could easily fly across the sky, but I was slightly weakened after the battle with Kizaru. Using the power of two fruits and teleporting was pretty exhausting. Therefore, I did not want to move the ship, and it is somehow more pleasant to sail on the sea. In general, I hope we make it in time for the war in Marineford ...

Marineford.

Sengoku has only recently arrived at Headquarters and has already given several important orders. The evacuation of local residents was in full swing, and the defense of the base was getting stronger and stronger. Now every person was important, so many sentinels were called, now it was only worth waiting for their arrival. There was not much time left, and there was still a lot of work ...

Sengoku was sitting with a pile of documents and was writing something as they burst into his office without knocking.

The aged watchman quickly saluted and exclaimed loudly:

- Sir, something unimaginable has happened, you ... You must see this.

From the man's face, the admiral realized that something really important had happened, so he immediately got up and followed him.

As the two walked into the medical unit, the admiral had a bad feeling and frowned tensely.

When they finally entered one of the special chambers, the admiral froze in shock.

Then he pulled himself together and said:

- What about him?

A woman in a white robe came up to Sengoku and said:

- There is no threat to his life, but he lost a lot of blood, and also ... His right leg.

The admiral gritted his teeth and growled:

- Damn Pestilence, is he already so strong ?!

Kizaru twitched on the bed at his scream and opened his eyes. When he saw Sengoku, he grinned wryly and said:

- It looks like I'm a cripple now, I did not expect this ...

Sengoku walked closer to Kizaru and asked:

- How did he do it? Is it Rayleigh again?

Borsalino shook his head.

- No .. The guy has become strong enough to pose a threat even to me. His strange power ... He took me by surprise, so I had to retreat.

- Strange power?

Kizaru nodded.

"Mm, he somehow managed to rob me of the power of the fruit when he touched me. I've never seen this before ...

After a few minutes of conversation, Sengoku left Kizaru's room and breathed in.

`` Damn, it's not even better ...

One of the Sky Islands.

In a quiet garden, by one of the trees, a beautiful girl with white hair was sitting calmly. The curves of her body were perfect, and the beauty of her face could make men go crazy. Now she was a little sad and nervously fingering her hair. Suddenly, from a small bamboo house opposite, a short old woman came out and looked at the girl, then smiled and said:

- Alia, stop worrying about trifles, I won't be lost here alone.

The girl looked up and sighed:

- I understand, but ... I somehow feel uneasy about leaving you grandmother.

- Come on, everyone leaves their home one day and it's time for you, you are no longer a child, you should see the world. I've been talking about this for a month now.

- But what if he doesn't come back? The girl asked nervously.

The old woman did not answer, but simply smiled, then she heard from somewhere:

- Who won't come back?

Aliya jumped up abruptly and turned to the sound, when she saw the speaker, she muttered incredulously:

- You ...

Mor nodded.

- Exactly, as I understand it, you still decided to go with me?

- Well, I ... - The girl got nervous and could not clearly answer.

- She's ready. - The old woman answered for her and smiled.

- Grandmother...

The old woman brushed aside:

- It's all right, during these months you have been buzzing all my ears about the blue sea, since you want to know what it is, so swim with it.

Then the old woman slowly walked up to More and said menacingly:

- I hope you can protect her, she is not a warrior, I think you are not taking her for this.

The pirate nodded.

- So it is, you can not worry, I will not allow anything to happen to her.

The old woman chuckled:

- Well, it's nice, if you don't keep your word, I'll come and kill you, so you should know.

Mor nodded gravely, and then looked at the girl and asked:

- Are you ready?

The girl looked at her grandmother and then burst into tears and hugged her. When their parting finally ended, the girl looked at the Sea Devil and said seriously:

"I'm ready, I'll go out to sea with you."

Alia's acquaintance with the team was pretty funny. Zoro and North are noticeably sick, much like I once did. As for Sanji, everything is predictable, he could not even hold out for a second. One look and the guy lost consciousness and nearly bled out, since now we had a doctor, and she helped him. Nami and Robin were also slightly affected by Alia's powers, but not as much as we. Probably it is more difficult for men to hold on because of the girl's unusual beauty and this causes additional problems. By touching everyone, she gave them immunity from her aura, after which everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zoro and North went on drinking, while Nami and Robin began to chat merrily with the newcomer. In general, the acquaintance went quite well, only poor Sanji was still passed out ...

Well, almost everything is over. New nakama in the team, now we have a doctor. You can go to the New World. True, for a start, it is worth completing the last thing in Paradise, namely the Battle of Marineford. After a week and a couple of days, Ace's execution, I just can't miss the fun. Yes, and I need to finish my business with Kizaru, I will no longer let him escape, it is worth ending everything once and for all. Of course, I also did not forget about Imple Down, I had my own plans for it, I just could not have visited such a legendary place. Well, in addition, it was worth getting rid of Teach, this hell could cause problems, and he will probably come to Marineford, and there I will finish him off.
