4. Ririka and Rika

Shells Town.

"Huuff... finally landed on a land," Gojo said. He has never been on a yacht for a long time, so suddenly, spending a day on a boat made him uncomfortable. 

"Hahaha, let go and have something to eat," Luffy said, running towards the houses near them. "W-Wait Luffy-san. Wait for me" Koby quickly followed Luffy as he thought Nami and Gojo were dangerous.

"Vice-captain why don't you go and have something to eat while I guard the treasure box and boat," Nami said with an innocent smile. If Gojo didn't know her hobby from the anime, he might have believed her.

"Ohh, aahh you don't have to worry about those things Nami" Gojo said with a smile. "Eehh? How can you not worry-" Nami who wanted to persuade him to go away, so she could steal the treasures stopped in her words as the boat disappeared in front of her eyes.

"See this. Now, come accompany me, lady" Gojo who put the boat in his system inventory said, put his hand on her waist, and walked towards the town. Nami walked in a daze as she saw something amazing.

"WAIT!! Where are my treasures!!??" Nami caught Gojo's collar while locking her legs around his waist and asked. "What you treasure baby? Isn't what you is mine and mine yours? After all, we are from the same pirate group" Gojo said with a light smile.

"Y-You... you..." Nami didn't expect someone to say the same words she used on the other pirate groups. "...And I didn't expect that you wanted my body so badly," Gojo said with a teasing smile.

Nami felt his hand moving from her hips to her ass, which frightens her. She jumped from him and ran towards Luffy, like a frightened rabbit. "Don't worry I won't eat you until you agree" Gojo muttered and followed them.

Gojo got inside the tavern and ordered food while looking at the beautiful mature lady and cute little loli in front of his eyes. 'If I'm not wrong then this should be Rika's mother, right? How should I invite her to join us' He thought.

While thinking about this he noticed that there were no people in this tavern except for them. "Hey beauty, why are there no people here? From the taste of the food you made was very good, so there should be some people coming here to eat right?" Gojo said with a sweet smile.

Ririka looked at his face and blushed from his handsome face but hooked her head and said "If you had come two weeks ago, my tavern should be the most popular. But after Captain Morgan put a bounty on my head.

Many people stopped coming to our tavern as they don't want to offend Morgan or his stupid son Helmeppo" Her face was full of hate. Luffy, Nami and Koby also heard her story, the most shaken was Koby who was inspired to be a marine.

"B-But shouldn't Marine help the civilians..." Koby said trembling. "Humph! Don't think that marine is all good" Nami also added with hate in her voice "But why did he put a bounty on your head?" She asked Ririka.

"I-It's because of me. I-If I didn't go to pick up fruit for our home, Mommy wouldn't have a bounty on her head" Rika suddenly said. Ririka got on her knees and hugged her.

"It wasn't your fault baby. It is that stupid Helmeppo's fault if he hasn't brought a wolf into the town as a pet. If that bounty hunter hadn't stopped him, he might have injured you" Ririka said with a helpless expression.

Gojo sighed just one bounty destroyed the peaceful life of this mother-daughter pair. He doesn't know how many such families were destroyed by small things as they offended someone they shouldn't have.

"Rika can you show me your mom's bounty" Gojo patted the little girl's head and said, Rika nodded and removed a paper from the drawer. Luffy, Koby and Nami also peeked to take a look.

'Wanted'

'Ririka

Dead or alive

Bounty 10,000 belly'

A picture of her serving the customer was shown on the poster. "It says that you are one of the remnants of the wolf pirates" Gojo raised his eyebrows and said.

"I know this pirate group, the captain has a bounty of 1 million which was wiped out by Captain Morgan 3 weeks ago" Nami said. Gojo nodded and said "So he just told some nonsense to the East Blue Marine headquarters and got you a bounty"

"Hehehe, your bounty is so low," Luffy said while laughing. Everyone's mouth twitched as they heard his words, Gojo came and slapped him on the head and said "What are you laughing for? She already has a bounty, not like us who wanted to be pirates but don't have a bounty on our heads"

Gojo's words poked deep into Luffy's heart making him sad "Dammit!! I also want a bounty!!" He yelled and again started to eat, everyone shook their head at his behaviour.

"Aahh, hey Rika, you said that a guy helped you right? Where is he?" Gojo asked.

"His name is Roronoa Zoro, he is a powerful bounty hunter," Rika said happily. "Eehh!! Y-You mean that dangerous pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro" Koby said trembling, which attracted Luffy's attention.

"Yes, he is the one who killed Helmeppo's wolf and beaten him. But that bad guy Helmeppo threatens Big Brother saying that he has to be tied to a pole for 15 days or he will kill all the people in the town. 

Big Brother agreed to his words, tomorrow is the day when he will be released" Rika said with a happy smile. Gojo knew that Helmeppo didn't want anyone to release Zoro and would execute him today, he wanted to say this but the noise of the door pushing was heard.

"Eeeh!! There are still people coming here to eat in this shitty place" A yellow hair man walked into the tavern arrogantly said. Gojo looked at the newcomer and was a bit surprised.

'Oda likes to change people's faces' Gojo thought about Koby and Helmeppo who changed so drastically that no one recognizes them. "Get out of our house!!" Rika yelled at him.

"You little brat, dare to shout at me" Helmeppo's face turned angry, as he walked towards Rika wanting to slap her face. Just when he lifted his hand a sharp pain came from his cheeks, and before he knew he flew and crashed on a table.

"Bastard!! How dare you want to hit a little girl!!" The person who slapped Helmeppo was Gojo, who also mocked him. "*Cough* *Cough* Y-You... how dare you hit me!!" With his cheek swollen he said while trembling.

"You two idiot!! What are you doing standing there!!?? Shoot him!! Not even my father ever hit my face!! Kill him for me!!" Helmeppo was going crazy from the pain in his cheek.

"Yes young lord" Two marine soldiers quickly pointed their guns at Gojo. Just when everyone thought that he was going to be killed, Gojo did something unexpected "Luffy I need your help with this"

Saying he pulled Luffy in front of him as a wall. "WHAT!!??" Everyone screamed in surprise including the marine soldiers but they still fired at the skinny Luffy in front of Gojo.

*THUFF* *THUFF*

But the picture of blood spelling did not appear. The part where the bullet hit Luffy suddenly stretched as if he was made up of soft rubber. "D-Devil Fruit..." Helmeppo and the two marines broke a cold sweat.

After all in four seas the existence of devil fruit is like a legend. Gojo did not wait for them to recover and smashed a chair on one of the marines while taking his guns and hitting the other's head.

"Hehehe, such a weak marine" Gojo smirked and said "Ahh, sorry for the damage Ririka. Don't worry I will pay you later" He turned and said with an embarrassed smile.
