Chapter 12 Camie

Getting closer and closer to Sabaody Archipelago, suddenly, a giant sea cow jumped out from their side. Before, the sea cow jumped up, a mermaid was not far from being eaten. Before the sea cow could entirely eat the mermaid. Paul ran up and smacked it down and then caught the mermaid that was leaping into the air.

Paul: " Are you okay."

Paul smiled and gave her a charming smile. He then landed back onto the ship and put the mermaid in his arms down. Paul knew exactly who this person was.

Camie: " EHHHHH... thank you for saving me."

As exactly from the anime and manga, Camie was the type of person who gets surprised easily.

Robin: " What a funny mermaid. haha. What's your name."

Camie: " ahh funny? ah my name is Camie."

Suddenly a starfish with a hat and glasses came flying out to the sea.

Pappag: " Camie, thank goodness that you are still alive. Why are you always being so careless."

Camie: " hehe, I forgot..."

Pappag then suddenly went towards Paul.

Pappag: " Thank you for saving Camie, she has always been an airhead. If it wasn't for you, she would've been eaten again."

Sera: " Again?"

Camie: " hehe. It would've by 10th time. Every time however, there will always be someone who saves me hehe."

Sera: "..."

Paul: "..."

Robin: "..."

Daz: "..."

Camie: "... eh, what's wrong?"

Paul: " hahaha. Nothing, nothing's wrong."

Paul was still trying to understand some things. First, Luffy didn't fight the Arlong pirates yet, so hatchi yet so he can't eat the takoyaki that hatchi makes. Second, the duval pirates also doesn't exist since Sanji doesn't have a bounty yet. He might as well try and make friends with Camie and maybe he will find something interesting.

Paul: " Camie, what are you doing outside of fish-man island."

Camie: " I am looking for the legendary takoyaki sauce."

Paul: " Legendary takoyaki sauce? What is that?"

Camie: " I ran into a group of old mermen that had a map to treasure and the legendary tokoyaki sauce. However, when I followed after them I got caught and was almost sold as a slave. Luckily, Pappag used some tactics to help get me out."

Paul: " Hmm I see, well we are in no rush to head to Sabaody Archipelago anyways. Let's go, where to Camie."

Camie: " You will really need help me? Yay okay thank you."

Paul: "it's okay, we're friends right?"

Camie: " 'sniff' 'sniff' Yeah, uh huh. Let's go then."

Days later, they soon arrived at a small island. After docking the ship, Paul and the rest went through the island, searching for the treasure. After about an hour of searching, they heard several voices.

Arriving near the few voices. Camie immediately recognized who they were.

Camie: " That's Macro and his crew. They are fish-man pirates that tricked me and than sold me to other people for the treasure and the location for the legendary takoyaki sauce."

Macro and the others soon reached a cave and then saw that it was filled with gold and treasures. When Paul saw the large amount of gold hidden in the cave, he grew excited. pirates should do what pirates should do... steal.

Macro: " HAHAHA, we are going to be rich."

Paul: " Yes, we are."

Macro suddenly looked towards the sound.

Macro: " Who are you."

Macro then looked closer at the group and saw Camie.

Macro: " Camie, looks like you are still alive. Seems like you brought some friends."

Camie: " Hmph we only want one thing Macro, tell us where is the legendary Takoyaki sauce."

Macro: "Hmph, you look like a pirate, with a bounty on your head and selling a mermaid, we will become so rich that we wouldn't even be able to spend it all. hahaha."

When Paul heard this he was speechless. How arrogant were these fish-mans.

Macro: " You guys can go die."

Macro and his crew didn't spare another moment as they charged at them. When Paul saw them charging at them, he just shook his head. Luckily he got a skill for useful times like this.

Paul walked up front and then an intense aura started to leak out. It then grew stronger and stronger and eventually, Paul directed the aura and its energy towards the running merman. 'flop' 'flop' the next instant all of them fell.

Daz: "..."

Sera: " how strong."

Camie: " EEEHHHHH"

Robin: " Could this be... conquerors haki!??"

When Paul used conquerors haki he looked back and saw their speechless expressions.

Paul: " haha, pretty strong right."

Daz: " Looks like we need to catch up faster."

Sera: " Same."

Robin: "..."

Paul: " well, lets get the treasure and then find the takoyaki sauce."

After collecting the treasure, they quickly brought it back to the ship. They had also tied up Macro's crew so that Paul could ask some questions as to where the takoyaki sauce was located or at least clues to how to obtain it. Paul dumped a bucket of water onto Marco.

Macro: " wh what do you want to do with me."

Paul: " nothing much, just want to know where the legendary takoyaki sauce is? Do you know."

Macro: " If I tell you then will you let me go?"

Paul: " Hmm yes, if only you stop capturing Camie."

Macro: " Ok. The location is."

Before Macro could finish his words a large octopus came from below and grabbed the ship. Just as Paul and Daz was about to attack the Octopus,

Macro: " Wait don't kill it, the rest of the treasure and the Takoyaki sauce are inside it.

Paul: " Brute force only then. Don't cut it up."

With that being said, Paul, Daz, and Sera leaped off the ship while Robin defended the ship from getting attacked by the octopus' tentacles.

With brute force from all three, it only took 10 minutes to beat the Octopus down and almost dead. They then went inside the Octopus to look for more treasure and the Takoyaki sauce. After about 5 minutes of searching for the treasure and the sauce, they saw it. A larger amount of gold was scene and a large black ball was suspended in the air and hanging downwards.

Paul rose up and touched it with his finger. Licked it and was mind-blown. He did not hesitate to try it because, he believes that he will never taste something as bad as the devil fruits. The taste was really sweet like dipping his finger and eating sugar. However, the taste was a lot richer and had a tiny bit of a fishy taste. As Paul tasted it, he closed his eyes and immediately fell to the ground.

Sera: " Paul, what happened..."

Paul slowly opened his eyes and revealed a smile.

Paul: " That was the best thing that I have ever tasted. We definitely need a cook on our ship. Let's bring some and give the rest to Camie."

With that being said, they quickly left the inside of the Octopus with two large bags of gold and Paul carefully used his wind power to hold the Takoyaki sauce together in place.

Paul: " Alright, we are back. Let's not kill it so that maybe next time when we are bored or something, we can come back and grab more if it starts to store up some sauce again haha."

When the others heard Paul saying that, they just took a sigh and didn't bother with him anymore. Sometimes, this captain of theirs does something random and just throws them off.

Paul: " Throw them off the ship. Let's go rest somewhere and then go to Sabaody Archipelago."
