Big Tree

I think some people believe that one month or even four months is not enough time to become deeply attached to someone, and that it's not realistic. I want to inform you that, yes, it is possible, and in fact, it can be a problem for some people..

if you have any ideas for the love interest, let me know! (it won't be olvia, I want robin to exist...)

Good chap !

Each blow that Baran struck at the enemy was powerful, as powerful as mine, especially with the flames surrounding his sword. The vice admiral opposite him was burned in several places. Furthermore, his Haki was dwindling due to the tenacity of the flames that burned him every second, which exhausted him greatly.

And occasionally, a burst of flame would appear and destroy everything in its path.

"Monster... The Marines won't let you live any longer," he said as he charged one final attack, but before he could do so, Baran cleaved him in two, leaving him to die.

"That wasn't so fast," I said as Baran knelt down to apologize.

"I'm just kidding, ahahaha, let's go, but before that," I used the authority of the sovereign to bring the bodies of the three vice admirals near me, they would make a good addition to my army.

"Arise," but the shadows didn't come out as if they didn't want to. "ARISE," I raised my voice, and finally, the three formed human shadows. Two had swords and one had fists. They were cool and powerful shadows! Probably knight or elite knight rank.

Five days had passed, and the ship was currently heading towards an island with a giant tree in the middle, I'll let you guess: Ohara. I continued my journey after destroying the three vice admirals, leaving their crews alive because I'm not a mass murderer.

And finally, the thing I had been waiting for for a long time: the newspaper! I wanted to see my bounty, and as expected, I was not disappointed: Ashborn, 400 million berry. AHAHAH, I must be higher than Shiki, even if not as strong, because when Karika was supposed to take care of him, he had a bounty of 300,000,000 berry.

Shiki the Golden Lion: 600,000,000 berry... he has a higher bounty! Edward Newgate: 700,000,000 berry, he has also increased significantly. For Xebec, it has gone up to 1 billion, and Roger is also at 1 billion, while Silver Rayleigh is at 600 million berry.

After a few minutes, I arrived at Ohara. It was a port with a fairly typical harbor town, but what made this island unreal was undoubtedly the enormous tree that towered over the island, it was truly a sight to behold. At first, I had thought about hiring an archaeologist, but it would have been difficult to protect them constantly, and if they became my shadow, they wouldn't be able to read the Poneglyphs for me. So what I had to do was learn to read the Poneglyphs myself.

But before that, I need to take a vacation! So I strolled around, buying local food, and I have to admit it was very good. There were succulent meat skewers with local spices.

Their mattresses were also perfect, I could sleep without any issues. Thus, the next day, I was ready to go into that tree, so I ran extremely fast so that no one would see me and I arrived near a window of the Tree of Knowledge. It was quite narrow, but I could easily squeeze through with my 10-year-old body.

It was lit, a perfect place to work. Being inside a tree made it perfectly soundproof, ideal for reading or having discussions without being disturbed.

As I walked, I discovered many books all around the walls of the tree, some talked about the past, without mentioning the Void Century, of course. Yet, I'm sure they study the Poneglyphs, so the books regarding all that must be in a hidden room, otherwise, the World Government would have destroyed the island long before 1502.

I continued walking, avoiding anyone who might pass by, and finally, going through a basement, a reinforced door was locked with a padlock. As I was about to break it to enter and steal anything important inside, a little girl began to walk discreetly with a key.

"You too, you're coming to see what's behind the door?" I asked the white-haired child. She seemed surprised and frightened at the idea of an adult seeing her, but fortunately, I looked like a child.

"Hmm, you're suspicious! I'm going to report you!" As she was about to leave, I replied, "They will know that you stole the key too." She stopped, looked at me, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried to hold them back while sniffing loudly.

"D-Don't... don't do that, please," I was really uncomfortable. "I'm just kidding!! But let me in, I want to learn what's behind this door."

sniff "Fine, but don't tell the others, okay! And what's your name?" She started regaining her confidence, and as she opened the door, she talked a bit.

"I'm Ash, an adventurer who loves adventure and loves discovering incredible things in this world, and you?" I preferred to introduce myself like that rather than "I'm Ashborn, a pirate with a bounty of 400 million berry for destroying a country."

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Nico Olvia, you can call me Olvia." So she's the one, Robin's mother. Well, at least I'm making good discoveries, and now we entered the room that contained a blue Poneglyph in the middle, and around it, several tables with hundreds of sheets containing notes. There was a detailed explanation of each letter. So from today onwards, I will learn to read and write the Poneglyphs.

A month had passed since then, Olvia and I became very good friends. We had a lot in common, especially the thirst for adventure and the thirst for knowledge about the Void Century.

"Did you know that apparently, we could learn a lot if we go to God Valley?" God Valley is the island that will disappear in a few years, after the battle between Roger, Xebec, and Garp.

"I see, if I ever go there, I'll tell you what I've seen," I replied with a smile. This poor woman is destined to die, although I plan to try to prevent that when the time comes.

Over the course of the month, I learned more and more about how to read the Poneglyphs. I could start deciphering a few words, but my reading was still very superficial.

Another three months had passed, and this time, I almost perfectly knew this ancient language. I was glad to have someone I could consider a little sister, as I never had a younger sister, even in my previous life.

"ASH! Wake up, they're going to open the door!" She woke me up while I was sleeping on the study table because I had studied too much the previous night with Olvia.

"Huh?" Seeing the door starting to open and Olvia panicking a bit, I carried her, and as soon as the door was wide enough to pass through, I used all my strength with Soru to quickly pass them at inhuman speed, so as not to be seen. Then, I effortlessly passed through a window, and we were able to escape without being noticed.

I dropped us at the entrance of the forest near the town, so as not to attract anyone's attention. Once sitting on the ground, she laughed.

"Hahahaha, that was awesome, Ash! How did you do that? I didn't see anything, and we're in the forest!"

"Well... your big brother is actually famous in the West Blue, ahahaha," I boasted. After all, a bounty of 400 million was no joke. As she asked me how well-known I was, and considering our relationship, I told her who I was, but I said that I never attacked Baran's country, on the contrary, I defended it!

"I knew the Marines were bad. Grandpa Clover always says that the Marines and the World Government want to hide the truth from us!" It's probably true, that's why Ohara will be destroyed someday.

"Ol, I'll be leaving soon..." I had planned to leave in a few days because we're already in 1478, the incident at God Valley will happen in less than 10 years, exactly 8 years, I believe.

"What?! How can you leave!" She looked disappointed and angry to hear that.

"Wait, Ol, I have an explanation."

"No, you can't leave!"

"B-But..." But she didn't listen and ran off... There's no point in going after her, if that's how it is, I might as well leave now.

I slept one last night here, hoping that Olvia would come during the day to say goodbye, but nothing. I was maybe a little disappointed, but I guess that's how life works.

Arriving at the port, I took a random ship as I usually do. It was probably a poor fisherman's boat that didn't ask for anything, but I took it anyway. I must enjoy being a pirate after all!

"Fool!" I caught a book that was about to hit me in the face easily, then I looked to see who threw it at me and smiled a bit.

"You should have stopped me yesterday... but no, so just... stay safe! Don't do anything risky! I'll read the newspaper to get updates from you, big brother!" Hearing that, I jumped off the boat to give her a hug, which lasted only a few seconds, but I was happy to have formed attachments to people during my adventure here.

Finally, I have to leave quickly, or it might rain.
