4 La Gijón
".. my name is Evans D. Arthur."
We are sitting and resting while wearing our dry clothes or at least what is remaining of them.
I looked at him a little surprised.
Same kind of names. D. hmm? As I try think deeper my head starts hurting again and I suddenly seem to have access to memories of this body.
"North Blue, world Nobles, slaves, marines, Wha- What ? " I said it out loud as I realised I have been reincarnated into a fantasy word.
A nerd in prison got me into reading it, so it's One Piece. Hmm! Crazy.
Actually isn't it interesting that I have been reincarnated into a world where millions share the same dream as mine, To be free.
You just have to be strong enough to be able to grab hold of it.
.
Though this also means that most of them died without ever fulfilling their dreams because they were weak.
This world might look open free but it is only so for the strong ones, the weak are just trampled over and die leaving their unfulfilled dreams behind.
This world, it is just giant catacomb of those dreams.
.
"Are you okay, Star." Arthur asked in concern as he saw me get lost in my thoughts.
"I am fine." I replied as I stood up.
"So where are we Arthur?" I asked as I look around the beach.
"This island is called, La Gijón, and this beach is called Gijón circa, at least that's what I am told." He said as he motioned towards the semicircular beach.
I don't really recall anything like this from the story, maybe it was never an important place.
*growl*
My stomach suddenly growled in hunger.
I look at my weak and injured body and remember the torture the noble put me through.
'Hehe! I will be adding one more to list of the problems that the WG already has, and it will be really big one.' a malevolent smile tries to spread across my face but it looks nothing more than sad and depressed smile on my weak 5 year old face.
...
(Arthur's pov)
I look at his him trying his best to smile which looks just a little sad to me. Poor boy what kind of things did he go through to end up like this.
"Let's go I know an old man who can help you."
I walked forward but I stopped when I saw him stumble.
I walked up to him and said with a smile.
"Sit on my back, I will carry you."
I bent down and motioned for him to lie on back. He nodded reluctantly after a while and sat on my back and we walked away.

(3rd pov)
Arthur walked away carrying Star from the ocean while the sun shined in their backs.
...
The island La Gijón is small island in the North Blue almost a circular island its distinctive feature being two semicircle shaped beaches one after the other on side of the island called Gijón circa. The island was mostly surrounded with forest and vegetation.
In a clearing near the Gijón circa a village with few small houses was placed on a mound.
As Arthur entered the village with Star on his back a few elderly and adults waved at Arthur.
.
"Hey Arthur."
"Good evening child."
Arthur also replied in kind.
A buff middle aged man without a top and a scar on his right cheek walked towards Arthur and asked
"Ay Author who's that you got on your back."
"Ah Garu san I fished Star out of the water."
Garu tilted his head in confusion at the reply, Arthur walked away while the man was still trying to understand waving him goodbye.
.
Author stopped to knock in front a house not much bigger than the houses around it.
"Chief Pablo, It's me Arthur."
After a few noises from the inside the door opened and a elderly man with a wrinkled face, white goatee, white moustache and short white hair walked out.
He wore a old and simple blue robe with full sleeves, and black pyjamas.
"Fufu, How have you been Arthur. You should visit me more often."
The man's laughter stopped as he eyed the weak looking boy on Arthur's back. He squinted his eyes and motioned for Arthur to come inside.
..
Arthur explained how he came across Star as he laid him on the bed.
"Nani? A world government ship. Th- they didn't see you right Arthur."
The Chief asked worriedly as held Arthur in a tight grip.
"Ah! I don't think so Chief." Arthur replied nervously.
"But why are you so worried Chief." asked Arthur.
After some hesitation the chief sighed and told Arthur that most of the people in the village were fugitives from the places abandoned by the government including Arthur's family.
"Also keep in mind Arthur to never tell your full name to anyone."
Arthur scratched his head with a wry chuckle.
"A- Ah Sure."
Chief squinted his eyes at Arthur seeing his behaviour.
"Who did you tell it to brat?"
Arthur pointed towards Star lying on the bed.
"But only because he also has a D. in his name."
"Nani?" Chief's mouth hung open as he looked between the two kids.
"I think you should hurry with the treatment chief." Arthur pointed, calming the chief who hurried to apply some medicine on Star.
