Chapter - 53 [ Returning to One Piece! And a Shock Throughout The World! ]

When he noticed them, Freya came after taking her Avatar to her familia headquarters. Hephaestus, Chloe, Arnya and Syr would join sometimes, but probably not soon. He bid temporary farewell to some of his friends like other gods and girls like Naaza and Mikoto.

Now every one of them including Ash suddenly disappeared from the world of Danmachi. He gave the Protagonist, Bell Cranel some of his blessings because he stole his source of strength and admiration.

(A/N : Talking about Ais and Freya~!)

And though there was some commotion in the surface due to the death of One Eyed Black Dragon and the fight as it even affected the whole surface. Uranus guessed it was Ash or his group who did it. But he didn't do anything about it when Ash mentioned about some of his plans and blessing Bell the new hero whom Uranus was waiting for.

...

In the Deck of 'D', Ash and the others appeared.

"We are back, D."

Ash said in small nostalgia even though it was only for a few months. The new comers didn't know about it. But Tatsuya being an technical and mechanical expert was amazed by its structure.

"This is amazing. I never seen such an amazing ship before. It is both capable of defense and offense, also can be used for sailing, flying, and even be used as sub marine! And the weapons in this ship is outrageous. If America or Korea were to sees this, they will puke blood..."

Hearing his words, everyone even the Orna, Flare and Raven were surprised. Ash never told them about D's secrets yet.

Suddenly, Ash clapped and attracted their attention. He then said,

"I'll give you all the necessary information about this world."

He snapped his finger and everyone got the information from the beginning like an anime.

"I see... Such a bizzare world... But it seems interesting."

Tatsuya said.

"As you already know from the information I gave you, there is a group of people screaming justice in this world. But they do nothing but injustice. And they have already framed me a criminal just because I defeated Raven, so I'm planning to go against them."

They all understood his words. So Lina asked,

"What do we have to do?"

"I simply want us to enjoy everything...So let's do this...."

...

In Logue Town....

Luffy and his friends are being chased by Smoker in the sea. They were about to climb the reverse mountain.

"To find All Blue!"

"To Be the world's Strongest Swordsman!"

"To make the world map!"

"To be the Pirate King!"

"T-To be The Brave Soldier of he Sea!"

They all said their dream with their legs on the wooden block. As they were laughing, a sudden light appeared from the side of their ship making alert and move to fight. But what appeared did not shock them rather made them smile.

'D' suddenly teleported near them causing waves around their ship. But they were elated. Luffy being the most excited one looked towards the familiar ship and shouted,

"Hey!!! Ash!! Are you here!?"

As everyone was waiting for a news, they saw Ash and some new other people coming out of the ship to the deck.

Ash stood near the edge and said,

"Hey there Luffy! How have you been? By the way, we are here with a request!"

"What? Are you going to join my crew!?" Luffy was excited!

"Not entirely correct, but we want to travel together with you for a while. Not as a pirate, but I'm already one since the world goverment already announced a bounty on my head."

To this, everyone was surprised, even the others. He chuckled and said,

"What are you guys surprised about? I did defeat Raven.. uh, Mihawk after all. The world goverment can't lose their dignity of losing a Warlord now, can they?"

Now they understood.

"That means you all will be with us from now on?!"

"Yes. Although we are not joining the straw-hat pirates, we will be allies. And yes, we will be traveling together with you guys."

The others from Luffy's gang was fine with it.

"I will also help you guys train. As for the way, it's a secret for now. But nothing is free. You will have to work hard to get stronger."

"You will train us!? Great!"

"Will you also train me in Swordsmanship?"

Ash looked at Zoro and said,

"Raven... or rather Mihawk would be your teacher for the time being. I'll also join him. But you need to gain strength before that. As for Luffy, I'll be training him personally. Nami will be trained by Orna. Sanji will be trained by Flare on cooking. As for his fighting power, you can leave it to me. Usopp will be taught by this man here. His name is Tatsuya. He is my brother. How about it guys? Are you in?"

The strawhats looked at each other and jumped!

"Yeah!!!"

"Then, for now, let's pass through the reverse mountain!"

Luffy's ship went through the canal as in the plot. But D was too big to pass through it. So making Luffy and his Gang widen their eyes, D floated like a flying battleship and passed the reverse mountain!

During their journey, He told Scathach that she will be in charge of training them in the future. She accepted it readily.

...

On the other side of the reverse mountain, D successfully landed behind Lagoon, the giant Whale. As for Going Merry, it was swallowed by Lagoon as in the original.

Everyone other than him and Flare was shocked by this. But since Ash didn't say anything, they decided to wait. While Luffy and his gang was exploring the insides of the whale, Ash saw the two people he thought he would eventually meet.

It was Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday or rather Vivi. He casually waved his hand and pulled the two from the ocean.

"Before saying anything, I know who you two are and don't try to scare me with that idiot's name. You Mr. 9 right? A very cruel man, for the sake of his boss, the head of Baroque Works, Mr. 0 or rather Crocodile one of the Warlords of the sea, you did unforgivable crimes. Murder, kidnapping, theft, and many more. As such, you will be punished by the sea."

Ash snapped his finger and the sea as if alive snapped towards Mr. 9 and caught him. Then without even letting him scream, the sea pulled him to under water.

Everyone wasn't worried about what he did. Especially after hearing what he said about that man's crimes, everyone was satisfied by his descision.

He then turned towards the blue haired beauty who was trembling with fear. Well she was just a normal human with no special powers. How can she resist when Mr. 9 who was stronger than her was just defeated so easily?

"And you, Miss Wednesday or rather Nefertari Vivi, Princess of Alabasta Kingdom. What are you doing working as an agent for Boroque works?"

Vivi seemed shocked by his words. How did he found out? Well, since he can know about Crocodile, it shouldn't be that hard to find about her.

She sighs and confess everything. Including the scheme that Crocodile was planning against her Kingdom. She then looked towards Ash and asked,

"Can you please help me? Knowing how easily you defeated Mr. 9 and how casually you mentioned about crocodile, you must have confidence in beating him, right? I'll offer everything I have! Please!"

Ash looked at her strangely. Even though he knows that she was trying her best to save her country, she didn't have to say something like that...

"Princess Vivi. There's no need for you to offer us anything. Just wait till our partners are back. Then we will leave for Alabasta to help you. And don't worry. Even if we don't help you, It will be fine."

Vivi seemed doubtful. But with nothing she can do about it, she nodded her head.

"Ah, also, your butler, just tell him to join us when we reach the next near island."

Vivi was again shocked. How did he know all this? Was he some mysterious master of the seas?

Chuckling at her shocked face, Ash made her blush in embarrassment. Fortunately, he was still not using his charm fully, if he was she would have fallen like angels from DxD. He shook his head with a smile and told her the functions of the ship like food court and toilet or room. After doing so, he decided to leave for his room till Luffy and the others return.
