Chapter 5 : Navigator's Past (part 1)
Sayaka’s POV
It’s been a two weeks ever since we departed from the sakura’s city, haruki almost fully recovered which is something amazing for normal human and now we have sakura as new member on our ships much to haruki’s request, and she is doing fine. She is friendly and gets close with yuiri and miyuki and become more open up with the rest of us (but of course she is become closest with haruki alone) and since she is born from the kingdom of warriors, sakura is good in battle especially when It comes to long range weapon, like bows and even cannon (she doesn’t like using gun though, except if she doesn’t have any choices)
Ever since our big adventures before, I become worried with yuiri, she become quieter than usual and even didn’t bother to scold nao as usual (except if he disturb her then she will beat him which is odd since nao is rubber man), I don’t know if the others notice it as well, but I think miyuki is know something about this, so I decided to ask her
“so you are worried with her ?” she ask me back rather than reply
“well, it’s just that she becomes so quiet and I can’t help to worry, we are all friends anyway”, I said but miyuki just giggling
“is something wrong ?”
“nothing, saya-kun, it’s just… you are the second person to ask me about that” the 2nd?
“who is the first ?” I ask miyuki again
“it’s captain, he ask me ever since a few days ago, he is also one of few who quickly realize about yuiri’s behavior”she answered
“is that so” I’m not that surprised actually since I knew that even if our captain is sometimes idiot but he cares a lots about his friend…especially yuiri “so tell me, what actually happen about her”
“I’m sorry saya-kun it’s just…..it’s just not my right to tell” miyuki said
“ehh??”
“just to let you know that …. It’s about yuiri’s past I believe” she added. Before leave me and enter her room
Yuiri’s past ? I don’t know anything about it actually but, I’m sure it’s something serious, but miyuki is right, it’s not ours to interfere and we just hope that our captain will do something about it or we just wait until yuiri herself explain everything.
A few days later, we’ve arrived at the “lucky seven” island, we stop there, park our ship in the hidden area of the island and go to the city of the island to restock and find someone to modify our ship for the next journey,
When we are walking around the town, haruki suddenly stop
“what’s wrong haruki ?”
“nothing, it’s just I feel like we’ve been followed” he said oh my, just when I thought when everything become peaceful, here come another trouble, just at that moment I saw yuiri tense up, but soon enough she regain her composure
“I think we need to be careful, and it will be best if we don’t show our identity” I suggest that being responded with a nod from the others
After such a long time walking and searching in the town we come to the harbor, there we talk to the owner of the place
“oh, costumer what can I do for you ?”
“we need, someone to repair and modify our ship, is there the best shipwright here” captain said
“of course,this island is well known for it’s shipwright, now can we inspect your ship ?”
After that me,haruki and miyuki going back to our ship and move it to the inspection place, after we arrive there the head of the shipwright named thomas inspect it even to the points he dive to look at the bottom, and when he finished….. we sense something bad just by saw his shocked face
“so can our ship being repaired ?” miyuki said while give her fishy smile just like the real miyuki, I thought, but to my surprise that fishing technique cannot move Thomas-san
“I’m sorry…” he said, “this ship is….is beyond repairement even if we repaired, in the end she will be broken once again and maybe sink on the ocean, we recommend you to change your ship”
We got shocked to hear that news, nao even grab Thomas-san in the collar
“are you serious, there’s something that you can do right, isn’t you all the best shipwright in great line” he said while gritting his teeth
“ if you won’t take my advice and want to sink in the ocean with the ship then fine, there’s nothing we can do with her condition” Thomas-san seems pissed off but he then looks to our ship and continued
“this ship is really amazing, I can’t believe she can sail across the seas that far just like what’ve you said, but she already reach the limit now, we can do nothing but let her rest in peace, to be honest this is one of the best ship I’ve seen”, hearing that explanation nao release him and just look in the floor
“we will give you time” his words bring us back to reality “we will wait 2 days for your decision since it must be hard for you, if by 2 days you haven’t made any decision then you have no choice but to accept our decisions, do you understand ?”
We give a nod even though we still in shock, but do we have another choice ?, the shipwrights then leave us to discussing about this matter
“ L-let’s discuss it on the inside” miyuki suggest, which we agreed, all of us go inside the ship and gathered at the dining room,
“s-so, what you guys think, we don’t left so much choice” nao, begin, all of us begin to silence, include me and sakura who just recently join in
“i- I don’t want to change ship to be honest, this ship has bring us from beginning to this far but…. I guess that old man was right, this is the time for us to let her go” he continued
“ there must be someway” yuiri suddenly voice out, “ I don’t believe we should leave her, there must be some way to repair her,”
“bu-but yuu-chan that shipwright already said that it’s impossible to repair it right ? “ nao said, wait a minute did he just call her yuu-chan ?
“but still nao, this ship already accompanied us since the beginning there’s no way we can forsake her just like that” yuiri start to argue,
“calm down you two” haruki try to interrupt before it become worse, “this is already night, I think it’s better if we take a rest know, and discuss it tomorrow when our mind already refreshed” he suggest, which all of us agree, except yuiri
“ no matter what, If you still want to change the ship then fine, I don’t want to be your navigator!!” that shouts shocked us all, she then runs away
“Wait…Yuiri!!” nao try to chase her, but somehow being stopped by milky
“let me talk to her, if something bad happen, I’ll tell you immediately” she said, nao nodded and miyuki left to chase yuiri. Leave the rest of us,
“ L-let’s follow them” nao said, all of us followed them, back to town, and I can’t help but feel like something really bad will happen
“unn, what’s happening to yuiri actually, capt?” I try to ask nao,
“she have some memories about this ship, about the person who give us this ship and—“ before nao can finish his sentences we saw a red flare, momoka realize it’s from miyuki so we hurry to go there,
When we arrive we saw miyuki being thrown to the wall, while yuiri is being caught by group of hooded people, this made the captain get angry and jump right to them while I help miyuki
“Let them go!” nao shouts while immediately launch himself to attack them, but to our shocked some of those people block him
“ okada pirates, huh ? what a coincidence” that person said, make us even more shocked, the captain back up to us
“who the hell are you and what are you doing to yuiri” nao said angrily
“hoo, you mean this girl” the other said while grab yuiri’s hair, the voice is looks like girl “I’m just bring her back”
“who the hell are you ?”
“he is kojima mako and his underlings “ miyuki said while still panting, this earn shocked from nao, while i being clueless “mako ?” I ask in whisper
“he is a warlord, basically a pirate that works for government, they can do whatever they want, and government won’t bat an eye….they just dropped their honor to become government’s dog” haruki explain
“hei!hei call him as dog is bad, “ the one with hat says, “let us introduce ourself, my name is tomu, the leader of this team, the short girl here is mion, the blonde hair is mogi, the tall girl here is miru and the black hair guy is yuria.” He said while all of them open their hoodie and reveal their face, damn I already expect to meet this kind of people again but not as enemy,
“as you know that, this girl you know as yuiri still indebted to me, so i want her back again” mako guy explain, but nao suddenly attack him
“As if I let that happen” but mako evade him and kick him till he hit and break the wall behind, all of us shocked, till haruki-san and momoka try to attack him but get prevented by the two others guy.
“if you want to fight, then I’ll play with you a little, rookie” mako said, and suddenly all of them went to forest, all of us quickly chase them
“you are really persistent don’t you” mako said when he sees us, he enacted his hands and suddenly the trees around us start to move..no, it’s not moving but their parts are flying to us
I used my iron staff to block them while momoka kick some of the woods, but a big wood suddenly flying towards me, luckily haruki cuts it immediately.
3 of us launch ourselves towards mako but we got interrupted by his underlings, haruki is stopped by yura who is a swordsman as well, momoka is stopped by mogi and I was stopped by tomu, the 3 of us immediately jump back, we need to keep these people busy so nao can goes right to mako
Authors POV
3 of the boys got stopped by mako’s underling, and thus the battle between them begin, while nao used the chance to chase mako and yuiri. Miyuki and sakura were about to follow him but he orders them to stay still
(nao’s side)
“give back yuiri!!” nao screams while uses his leg to give slashing kick to mako, the latter just evaded
“huh?, who are you to command me? I’m just take back what is mine” he smirk will uses his mysterious power again, suddenly piles of wood flying toward nao which he evaded and even destroy some of them
“what the hell are you talking about you damn raccoon” hearing nao’s word smirk in mako’s face disappeared, instead a look of anger shows up
“raccoon ? how dare you mock me as raccoon?” mako makes a lots of woods flying toward nao and suddenly as nao evaded the woods, mako suddenly appear besides him and try attack him, nao quickly jump back but mako’s claws succeed wounds him.
Nao who got injured just grab his wounds in attempt to reduce the pain, blood is dripping out from his wound, nao then jump high and stretched his hand back wards and give a fast punch to mako, and to nao’s shocked mako just blocked with his arm
“is that all you got rookies, let me show you the difference between us” mako said as he jump in front of nao and give strong kick which sent the latter flying back wards
(haruki’s side)
“so you are a swordsman huh, you guys are interesting?” says the man name yuria infront of him
“so what ? I don’t know that mako have swordsman as his dog” haruki reply while clashing their swords
“dog ? I’m not his dog, you rookies, we are just doing our duty” yuria said while try to slash haruki repeatedly, haruki being cornered can do nothing but focus to defense himself
“duty huh? Whatever reason it is you are still his dog” he reply and use his attack to create a spiral wind, yuria evaded it
(momoka’s side)
“what the hell are you planning with our friend? “ momoka asks the guy named mogi infront of him both are using their physical strength without any weapon
“as we said, we just going to take her back, our boss have another plan for her”
“what ?” momoka try to kick him, but to his surprise mogi jump to the air….no it’s more like he can walk in the air as if there is invisible stairs up there, momoka uses a tree besides him to jump high and attempt kick mogi but he got blocked with the latter’s arm
(sayaka’s side)
Sayaka get cornered by his enemy a guy with hat who called him-self tomu, sayaka is not as strong as the other guys in the crew while tomu is mako’s right hand man
“is that all you got kid? You can’t even block my attack, “ tomu said, sayaka try to attack him once again which he evaded, he then try to kick sayaka who blocked with his staff but still got thrown away
“I suppose this will be your end, heh “ tomu were about to punch sayaka but a boomerang suddenly fly towards him who evaded, the boomerang than return back to miyuki
“ I won’t let you do that” it was miyuki while bring something like a giant needle with it’s head are open, she then proceed to help sayaka
“what are those miyuki?”
“this is my new weapon I just make it recently, it can unleash some poison actually ” she said while try to throw it to tomu but missed “what are you guys want to do with our friends?”
“friend ? we just take her back to mako you know nothing else, but mako maybe have something in his mind” tomu said while smirking
“cih, you guys just his dogs aren’t you” sayaka try to provoke him
“dog ? no, we just doing our duty as what the real boss said”
“real boss?”
“yeah, but you don’t need to know that as you will die now” tomu charged at miyuki in attempt to kill but..
Trang
Tomu got surprised he got blocked, it was sayaka who did it, he can’t even blocked his attack before but now something is different
“i…wont…let you…do as you please”
Tomu got shocked with sudden pressure that come from sayaka, he then jump back, while sayaka just lowering his arm but his expression and aura are really different, tomu widened his eyes as if he was looking at some demon, he can feel sweat in his head, while miyuki noticed sayaka’s change but don’t know anything as well
All the battles were put in halt when suddenly nao flying towards them, the others catch him and they were in shocked to see a wide scar on their captain, just at that moment a portal are open up and mako along with his 2 girl underling come down with yuiri in their hand
Sakura who just watch intensely since before quickly take her bow and launch it at the girl who comes down the last named mion, the latter were about to closed the portal when an arrow are heading towards her, she can evaded it but the arrow just scratch her cheek, she then looks angrily at sakura who just make a stoic face
“ara-ara, our mion just got hurt” the other gang just teased her, mion didn’t bother to answer
“we will go back now, it’s wasting our time to fight again these people” mako said
The short girl suddenly reenact her hand and suddenly a portal is opened,
Nao, try to attack once again, but again, he is thrown to a tree nearby “you are so persistent” mako suddenly moves at him fast and stab him
“Nao!!” yuiri screams sawing this. that mako move so fast they can’t even saw his move, luckily he seems use use his fingers…no, more like claws to stab nao so the wound isn’t that big, nao still can stand up
“give…back…yuiri..!” he said in anger
“you really want her back ?... how sad…she doesn’t seems so right yuiri-chan” mako reply, the other crew got confused with this
“p-p-please…let me be with them…don’t look for me….please...go from here” yuiri said …her eyes…there are tears and on her eyes.
“yu-yuiri what do you mean ?” nao try to move closer but he once again get kicked.
“time to go” tomu said they then enter the portal that being opened by mion and before all of them disappear yuiri say some word
“naa-kun…I’m sorry” and then the portal closed, nao try to jump at it but it was too late
“yu-yuiri….YUIRIIII!!” he screams while punching the ground. Blood continue to drip from his wounds all of the crew immediately rush to calm him down but suddenly….he collapsed
===
All of the crew go back to the ship, to tent the injured captain, and to discuss about big problem they are having right now, miyuki then tells them about yuiri
“yuiri is actually grew up in a big town, along with her father, a former marines, they live in peacefully until a group of pirate lead by this man named mako came and uses his status as warlord and force everyone to obey him and conquer that island, he then found yuiri and his father, yuiri ever since child likes to drawing a map and learn about weather and the sea. So mako tooks liking toward her and force her.. her father didn’t let that happen thought..he try to save yuiri but…..”miyuki then paused and sigh
“but..what happen to him “ sayaka ask
“he was…held as hostages so yuiri won’t reject the offer, and start working as mako’s servant for years, they will give her books about island and force yuiri to draw maps based on it, and they won’t let her out of her room or even get proper treatment”
“that was cruel” sayaka commented
“yeah, and…just a moment ago, when they tried to take yuiri…they said that her father is already dead, he died without her daughter besides him,” miyuki finished, and the rest of the crew got silence
“w-wait “ sayaka’s said “if she was being hostages so how she can become the crew of this group.?” He asks miyuki
“I met her a long ago,” a voice answers sayaka’s question, it was nao who already got up
“c-captain..your wounds ?” miyuki worried
“it’s fine,.” He simply said before continue explaining “it was a big coincidence, at that time I was only with haruki alone using 2 small boat since it’s the beginning of my journey, at that time we were stuck at an island so we harbor there, and met her and miyuki”
“his father actually managed to get a ship so yuiri and some of the people from their home could run away…but sadly her father get captured...the people that come with yuiri are settle down in the island we met back then” miyuki continued his captain’s story, she start grinning at the memories
“it was coincidence really, these two save me from thugs who chase me, and manage to convince me and yuiri to join them, so we continued using this ship…till now” she finished,
They got silence for a while, thinking what to do until sakura start talking
“b-but, why, why yuiri-san tell us to not chase her, and get away ?” she asks, no one answer her since they don’t know either until miyuki spoke
“she is worried about us, someone who can become a warlord mostly are strong, besides dealing with them is very dangerous since they have government as back up” miyuki said, nao who at first listen to their words starts get angry
“warlord or not, we can’t let them get one of us, I will defeat every warlords or even emperors whoever dare to hurt any of us” he said while clenching his fist “ i won’t let them do as they want”
“ but we don’t even know where he is now, to track him down will take time captain” miyuki reasoning that’s the moment the door suddenly open
“I – I will help” it was the shipwright Thomas-san “I’m sorry if I overheard your conversation I watch that fight those people in the who’s with mako, they…. They were used to be part of the shipwright here until they betrayed us and kill our leader”
“EH” all of the crew got shocked by his sudden coming and information, but Thomas-san is not yet finished
“besides, they-they also brought my daughter with them “
“What ?” the crew become more shocked than before,
“so-so that’s why if you want to go after them, I and my friends will gladly will help you”
The crew are still processing what’s happen to make a decision but the captain quickly respond
“it’s decide then, we will help you to take revenge in return you guys will help us to take back our friend”
“th-thank you, i’ll inform this to the others, please meet me tomorrow for discussing this with the other” and with that Thomas leave them,
Nao then turned to his still surprised friends and give smile, “what ? I already said that I will defeat him and save yuiri right ?”
Haruki just facepalm while sigh “really stubborn captain, but I agree with you, besides I have to defeat that funny looking swordsman guy as well” he said
“I think it will be best if we use our remain time to find something about them, maybe I’ll look at yuiri-san file she probably has something” sakura suddenly suggest the others, she then continued “besides i just have a feeling that some of them are devil fruit users” she said
“you’re right, we have to use our time as good as possible” sayaka agree, he already have bad feelings about their next meeting with them but he try to be optimistic
“yeah I agree…but since it’s already almost midnight” miyuki said while yawn “we should take a rest first, the next days will be hard” all of them agree goes to our dorm to sleep
==
After a few times useless attempt to sleep, sayaka give up since his mind are full of thought, when he looked at the other boys haruki and momoka already asleep, but then he also notice that captain is gone, feeling curious he decide to go out to the deck and saw nao there, sitting in the head of the ship.
sayaka go near him while watching him just look at the sea and the stars, he seems in deep thought, but he suddenly notice sayaka, a looks of surprise and curious shown in his face
“you are still awake sayaka?” nao ask him, his curious-childish expression are back
“look who’s talking here,” he reply,
“you seems full of thought, what’s the matter?” nao ask again he seems a little serious but still smile to lighten up the mood
“well, I just have thought about what will waiting for us the next few days” sayaka pause when he notice something isn’t right “wait that’s actually my question to you” he remarks, nao just laught at that
“i’m okay, I just….. I just worried, that’s all” nao said, his smile turn to a sad smile
“you worried about her, don’t you? “ sayaka asks, which the captain slowly nodded
“is it that obvious ?” nao asks back to sayaka who nodded at him
“you know, the first time I knew you, I was thinking that you just childish and a little bit dense but funny and strong captain” sayaka begin to talk, nao laugh at how he described him “but you know especially after today you looks so serious and really determined, which is very rare of you”
“well, not gonna disappointed you, but I’m not that dense you know” nao said while chuckling
“I know, I know, I’m sorry to think like that, but…you just never show this serious, determined and calculated side of yours except when you are fighting or….when it is comes to her” sayaka explained
“hmmm…to think about it you are right, I just really care towards her…towards yuiri” nao said, he seems a little bit bitter to says that name,
The two boys continued to stay there just enjoying winds and the view of the sea, that’s until sayaka decided something and break the silence
“hei capt, can I tell you something?”, judging by sayaka’s tone, nao knew it was serious topics
“what is it?”
“I – I – actually come from different world, I’m not originally part of this world” sayaka finally tells him
“What?” nao really taken aback hearing that, he knew sayaka is serious even though it’s seems unbelievable
“it’s true, remember when you said, you guys found me floating on the sea alone, the last thing I remembered I was on a train on my way to go home before suddenly everything goes dark, even..i- I was actually a girl in my original world, that’s why I completely shocked when I realize I was a boy here and what’s more……you guys….you guys are looks exactly like my friends” sayaka continued, while nao listens carefully, seeing how serious sayaka is, he then said
“tell me more..about your world…your friends..and stuff” nao said, sayaka knew that the captain trust him and believe in his word, so for the next hours sayaka tell him about his life, about akb48 and it’s sisters group, about Idols and what more about 48G’s members and how most of the people he met in this world have strong resembles with them.
“so…in your world all of us here and even some that we already met are girls and ….what is it? Idols? … that sounds interesting” nao said, “so.. how you will come back to your world?” he asks
“ I – I don’t know, that’s why I choose to join you, I think if I can help you to get that hidden treasure and to goes to the end of this journey maybe… I will find the way to get back..to my world”
“hmm, sou ka? To think about it you are the only one who joins this crew without any clear reason, so if that’s the reason it’s fine” the captain smile “we will gladly help you”
“reason huh?.....what’s the others reason to join this crew capt?”
“hmm let’s see, haruki, he wants to be the world’s strongest swordsman which is mean he has to defeat matsui ren we met before, sakura.. as you know she wants to accompany haruki to achieve his dream and she wants to go back to her homeland. Momoka, he wants to be world’s best chef and he must find the greatest receipt and ingredient, miyuki, she wants to be great doctor to cure any single disease and wounds. Yuiri……she wants to be the greatest navigator and wants to reach the end of the world” nao’s tone become sadder when he mentions his beloved navigator, somehow this remind sayaka about the real okada nana
“you know what capt. You and ..yuiri.. are really not that difference from the another version in my world” sayaka said while give faint smile
“hmm, what do you mean?”
“well, my world’s counterpart of you also really adore and protective toward my world’s yuiri as well, just like…..just like you”
“haha, I guess it’s like a fate, for the two of us to be like that” the captain said, “I will save her, I will save her and defeat that mako for sure” a seriousness and determining looks shown on nao’s face. Somehow seeing their captain aren’t gloomy anymore, relief sayaka
“well, I’ll go back to our dorm now, you should too capt, we’ve had a long days waiting for us”
“you go first, I’ll go back later”, and with that sayaka goes back to the dorm and sleep
While nao who’s still on the ship thinking about his fight earlier, his power almost have no use against an enemy who can transformed into a humanoid animal, and even can control a wood nearby
“I have to find a way to get him, maybe my punch is too light” he said to himself while punching air infront of him, his memory recalls before yuiri get disappear, sad and worried is all written on her face but what nao can see is fear on his navigator face, remembering all of those make his blood boil
“blood ?” suddenly nao stops punching the air, “that’s it, I think I can do that” nao said in delight as if he find a great news
For next hours nao practiced his techniques he knows, to beat mako he should be a lot stronger, it seems he already forgets to sleep and training is what is on his mind
It was an hour before even dawn, when someone come out from the dorms, and goes to the deck only to be surprised by a sleeping figure there
“really,.. He said he will go back but he sleeps here instead” it was sayaka, he then goes to his dorm and goes back with a blanket and use it to cover his captain, at that time sayaka realize that his captain’s forehead is drenched with sweat
“it seems he train himself until sleep because of fatigue,…. Well, now I should do the same” he said, then climbing up to the lockout place which is also become haruki’s training place, upon entering he prepares some wooden-man target and even target-bag before he grabs his iron staff
Sayaka remembers it was also yuiri who give that weapon, it was previously used by yuiri before she got her current weapon, sayaka then grabs some ballast to put weight on his arms and legs something he didn’t do before, sayaka tooks last glance at the sleeping captain on the deck before taking off his shirts and readied the staff on his hand “now let’s get some practice”
==
Everyone on the ships already awake, and gathers at dinning room to get breakfast before going to meet the shipwrights to discuss their plan, at that moment miyuki notice something is missing
“wait, where is saya-kun?” she asks, before sakura added “and where is nao-san?”
“i saw sayaka few hours ago, he go out with a blanket, probably he is at lockout place” haruki answers calmly while sipping his green tea “as for captain, he didn’t comeback since last night, probably he falls asleep on the deck”
“I’ll go to call them” miyuki said before get up and went to the deck and just like what haruki said, she found the sleeping captain there.
“he really sleeps here” she said, miyuki notices the blanket which cover nao, knowing her captain well miyuki knows nao won’t bring something like that because he just can sleep anywhere without care, so she figure out it was sayaka who give him that “what a nice guy”
Miyuki bent down to wake nao up, and as she already guess it’s pretty hard, she almost want to smack him to wake him up since yuiri often doing that, but she thought it would be bad if she did that so she just do the only thing that cross her mind
“Nao WAKE UP OR THERE’S NO FOOD FOR YOU” she screams in her captain’s ear and just as she said ‘food’ nao’s head immediately stood up
“what ?...food?...where?” fatigue and sleepy clearly shown in his voice,
“in dinning room hurry up before haruki eat your share” right at the moment she finish her word, nao dashing up to dining room, somehow it makes her chuckle
“really…what a childish captain” she said before goes up to lockout room to tell sayaka
“saya-kun..are you there?” she knocks on the door, but even after waiting there’s no answer, miyuki was about to knock again when a loud broken voice can be heard, so instead of knocking, miyuki just open up the door
“saya-kun what’s happ---“ miyuki stops her words at what she saw, there was a lots of wooden piece scatters on the floor, and there is a bold wooden dummy with a big hole on it, but what’s more distracting for miyuki is the fact that sayaka was infront of her drenched in sweat….shirtless
“mi-miyuki..you surprise me, why are you suddenly brag in?’ sayaka just casually asks while take a towel to wipe out his sweats, he seems didn’t notice what’s on miyuki’s mind
“i—i---I..i just, I heard a loud cracking voice…so..i” miyuki curse herself for stuttering, her face already burning while somehow noted how lucky she is “I---I .. just …want to tell you…. that breakfast is ready”
“oh okay, I’ll go back after cleaning myself, you can eat first” he said while put his shirt on, sawing miyuki didn’t move an inch, make sayaka confused “miyuki are you alright ? you seems red?”
“i-i-I’m okay..just go back quickly” miyuki said before run out of the room.
“she is weird” sayaka noted, only when he buttoning his shirt he realizes “did she just saw me shirtless that’s why she acts like that?” blush creeps up at his face, but he then chuckling “just like the real miyuki” he said
After going down, sayaka immediately goes to clean himself, and then goes to the dining room and meet the others,
“took you so long huh? Look..nao seems can passed out anytime soon” haruki said while pointing at nao who rest his head on the table and looks hungry
“well, I already tell miyuki that you can start first”
“really ? miyuki didn’t tell us anything “ haruki answers, just then miyuki replies
“I’m sorry I kind of forget it” she said with a smile but she still cannot look at sayaka in the eyes
“well, so let’s get eat” just when momoka said that word, nao immediately stood up and eat as much as he can, which actually a normal sight for the others (even for sakura whom just recently join the crew), when everyone seems relax, sakura suddenly starts to speak
“actually, last night I look at yuiri-san’s file,..and I found some letter there” her words pick the other’s interest
“letter ?”
“yeah, but most of it has already burnt or cut, but here, there is some name I found on the latter” she place the piece of paper on the table so the other could read it
“S.S.K huh ?..sounds weird even for a group names” momoka commented
“they must be the mako’s underling we met before” haruki said, which is sakura noded
“yes, and I think since they are warlord’s underling and based on what we seen before maybe all of them are devil fruits eater”
“hmm, if that’s the case we should fight them at a ship or near sea so we can drown them” haruki calmly said which even sayaka don’t know if he was being serious or just joking
“we should go to meet those shipwrights immediately” the captain suddenly spoke, he already finished eating “we need to discuss this thing and getting back yuiri as fast as possible”
“yeah you’re right, we should go now” momoka said and after everyone finished they go to town together.
they arrive at harbor we visit yesterday, there is someone who already awaits them and leads them to meet all of the shipwrights there
“we’ve been waiting for you, okada groups” it was Thomas whom speaks “well let’s starts with proper introduction..i’m Thomas the current leader of the shipwrights here and also the mayor of this island”
“this people is part of shipwright here and they are also good in combat” he then give signal for nao and the others to sit in big round table, a big map has been open there
“we got information about where they will go, it’s in Kojima park, it’s located about 2 days if we go by ships”
“pffft what a silly name huh?” haruhi snicker
“ano- Thomas-san by any chance do you know something about S.S.K ?” sakura suddenly asks, hearing that name, some of the people there look worried
“S.S.K? I heard that it’s special group of kojima mako’s underling,” Thomas pause for a while “I never expect those innocent looking people are part of warlord’s subordinate”
“2 days, huh?” nao suddenly commented, he then stand up “is there any other way to go there faster, I don’t think we can afford more times my navigator is—“ nao stopped after a hand lay on his shoulder it was miyuki who signaled him to calm down
“I know it, they brought my daughter remember and I also want to save her as fast as I could, on the original plan we were going to use a sea-train” the mayor said, earning a curious look from sayaka
“sea-train?”
“yes, this city have sea train, so we can go there faster, if there’s no obstacle we only need half day”
“good, then let’s go there, we can continued this on the train right?” nao suggest
“yes, you’re right, now please follow me”
--
“so this is the sea train we are going to use?” momoka asks after they arrive at the said train, it was more looks like steam train, with a cute but unique design on the head, the head of the train looks like a cupid are readied to hit the target with her arrow
“it’s so cute” miyuki commented, sayaka himself can’t help but to agree with her
“actually, the one who design this is my daughter, her name is Miyu, she is very talented person and despite being a girl she is a creative and create a lots of things including this sea train” Thomas explain much to the straw hat’s surprise
“so why they take your daughter, Thomas-san?” momoka suddenly asks, he is a gentleman and he can’t stand to hear a girl being taken by a group of criminal, Appeareantly his question bring a silence from Thomas, the poor old man looks like if he is thinking something really serious and after a while pondering to tell them or not he gives an answer that almost shock the group
“my daughter-due to her talent to create a lots of things including weapon,... I’m afraid that they will use her to help them create the powerful weapon that can destroy a country or an island”
“we can’t let them do that!, we shall save her” momoka’s spirit was on fire, but some of the crew just give facepalm instead, haruki then place his hand on momoka’s shoulder
“that was a good spirit perverted cook, but don’t forget our main goal is to save our navigator” haruki said calmly while have sigh, but it seems momoka can’t take that word
“who the hell, you called as perverted, you stupid swordsman”
“who else is the perverted here or should I give you a mirror” these two just face each other while look like they are ready to beat up each other, they didn’t seem want to stop until someone knocked both of their head
Bump Bump
“this is not the time to fighting each other, you two, just focus on our goal and save them both” it was sayaka who knocked them with his staff a vein popped in his head
After calming down a bit, all of them got up to the train and start their mission to fight the warlord, kojima mako
“just you wait yuiri, I will definitely save you” nao said to himself in really confidence voice
TBC
