Ch 06: Ohara

"I want to eat it"

"Ginny stay away, it's skin! I am afraid that even my sword would be useless"

Even though he realised "Cutting Steel", this Alligator looked unusual at first glance, with its shiny black black.

"Then what should we do?"

Ginny also realised the problem.

"This is a highly poisonous potion, you aim the vial at its mouth while I am fighting it, I will create opportunities for you.

Also, the skin on the opposite side seems soft, I will aim there"

"Got it"

"Okay that tree see-"

He stopped mid-sentence, hugged Ginny's waist and jumped.

The tree they were on was just chomped on the alligator.

It has a very high bite force and terrifying speed and reflexes.

"I will go now, Ginny"

"Hai"

"Eagle Slash"

Clang

He looked at the alligator only with a shallow scratch and sighed.

'There is no opportunity to attack the bottom, he only opens his mouth during attacks'

He continued to hit the lizard but it seemed useless, Ginny also didn't find an opportunity.

Seeing that it was not working, he decided to give it a last try.

"Ginny, be ready"

He rushed at the alligator and just when it was about to chomp down, he stuck the knife between its mouth.

Ginny threw the bottle, it landed in the alligator's mouth.

His sword also pierced its lower jaw but got stuck.

He used shave to make distance then flew to a tree nearby.

"Let's wait now"

"What type of poison was it"

"The one that causes hallucinations"

He said as he took out the daggers, he got from Zakaz.

It will take effect in some minutes then we will lurk beside and stab it continuously and wait till he dies of blood loss.

"You are so cruel, Ray"

"I am cruel and you who will cook it, isn't?"

"Of course not! I do it on your orders"

"Haah"

~~~

The alligator was now being prepared to be cooked by Ginny, they were having soup today.

He went to the cross sign and started digging.

He soon found the box.

He was really surprised when he found the box.

It seems that it really has a devil fruit inside.

He threw the box far away in case it had some trap inside.

But as the box opened on a crash, a devil fruit came out.

It looked like bananas with deep green spikes on it.

He went and took it in his hands.

Ginny also came and looked at the fruit, in his hands.

"Which fruit is it?"

"I don't know, but it's a zoan type, it is good if it's a phantom beast otherwise just leave it for the subordinates in the future"

"Ohara must have a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, right?"

"Yes"

They spent the night on the Island, eating various dishes made out of the alligator.

Of course, the chef was a kind angel.

~~~~~

Ohara,

One month later,

"It's here, I was getting tired of driving the boat alone"

"What do you mean, didn't I help you too?"

"Yes, the sounds you made while gobbling up food were my motivation, I would like to give you all the credit to have helped me reach here"

"Didn't you eat too?"

" most of the time I eat Leftovers"

He said quietly.

"What did you say?"

"I said, let's go and eat something, I am tired of eating fish"

"Yes, we should go try the dishes here"

"Haa"

On the way here they exchange everything into baileys and transfer them to an account in a bank under the World Government.

Ginny made it under her name, he is still penniless.

Although she bought him, Flowing in Sky('Sora ni Nagareru'), one of the Skillful blades.

It has a sapphire hilt, with a blue-white blade and a pure white guard.

The patterns of the blades are like flowing waves.

She bought it for 18 million.

He really needed a good knife, a bad knife was affecting his battles.

~~~

"Uncle, I will surely pay the remaining amount by the end of the month"

As they entered the restaurant, they found a girl pleading to the owner.

"Olvia, it has been due for a month now, still I will give you a week more for Robert's sake"

"I will do it in a week, Uncle"

He looked at the girl and realised something, he had forgotten about Robin's mother who should be in Ohara this time.

She looked very beautiful.

A perfect hourglass figure, with long wavy silver hair, reaching halfway through her back.

She had shining blue eyes and wore a plain top and skirt.

She looked stunning.

He didn't realise he had been looking for too long.

"Ahh"

Ginny pinched his waist.

"What happened?"

"Haven't you been staring for too long?"

"Huh?"

He saw the owner and Olvia looking at him.

"Haha, I was just stunned by your appearance beautiful lady"

He shamelessly extended his hand for a handshake.

Olvia looked at the man and shook his hand after some hesitation.

"We just landed in Ohara today, will you guide us around here"

"I…"

Olvia looked reluctant.

"Of course, we will pay, we are rich"

"Who is rich?"

"I mean she is"

"Bastard!"

"Haha…forgive her, she doesn't have manners, she grew up in a forest"

"Haha"

"You grew up there too! You bastard!"

"Then, miss, will you show us around"

"Okay, I was free today anyway"

"Thankyou"

"Old man! Bring every dish you have in the restaurant except fish, and keep bringing until you run out of it"

"Will you two eat that much?"

"It's not two but three"

"I just ate"

"Don't worry about it, have some desserts at least"

"Okay"

The owner didn't care but,

"Will you be able to pa-"

"Before he finished, Ginny opened her suid case, packed with baileys"

"Haha…give me some minutes"

"Sure, just go away"

He sat down on the table and was about to invite Olvia to sit beside him but Ginny sat there next second swiftly, causing Olvia to sit opposite him.

He glared at her but she ignored him.

"So, what do you do Olvia?"

"I? My mother was an archaeologist, so I learned Archaeology from the books at home, I translate books into another language for a living"

"Oh, so you are an archaeologist? No, I don't have a degree. I just learned at home from the books my mother left"

"Why didn't you get a degree?"

"I can get but… after my parents died, I had to support my brother, so I didn't continue much, but l love my job reading new books is my hobby"

"Oh? It's good as long as you like it!"

"Yes, what do you do?"

"We were just traveling around until now, hunting pirates, but now after a break in Ohara I will be joining the Navy"

"Oh, Are you strong?"

"Strong? I killed Pirate Zakaz, who had a bounty of 24 million baileys"

"Really, so strong!!"

Olvia looked at him, excited as he kept telling stories.

But as if she remembered something, she looked at him.

"But the newspaper said that the Navy killed him?"

Ginny said angrily.

"What can you do about it?

As long as they print it, people believe them"

Olvia also nodded in understanding, she wasn't stupid growing up alone.

"So, you are the blue beheader?"

"Pfft"

Ginny laughed.

He also had black lines on his head.

Fortunately, the food came in time and they immersed themselves in eating, staying in the sea.

He was tired of eating fish.

Before leaving, he told Ginny to secretly pay off Olvia's debt to which she gave him an angry look.

He already told her that he was fond of beauties and she was just putting on an act, she wasn't angry about it.

After all, One Piece is such a place where strength reigns and slavery and human trafficking are common to even have a name of employment on the bright side.

In this world of twisted views, only strength gave peace to his mind.
