14 Nami & Nojiko
======================================================
A few days later
======================================================
A few days ago I made a journey to where will be the place of the famous "Floating Restaurant Baratie", but it seems that has not yet been built. Zeff should still be on the Great Line looking for his great dream the "All Blue".
Docking at the port of Gosa village I see that this place is very busy since this place is a fishing village. Some stores sell books, clothes, and food, but what sells the most around here are fruits, I already suspected that it would be so.
I have hundreds of navigation books that I bought during my visits to the other islands. I think that I'm going to give them to Nami, but I need first to know if she already has an interest in this subject.
Walking around the village I see that Nojiko is doing the work of selling some oranges, doing the math she's 2 years older than Nami so she's 9 now.
I got close to her tent
"how much?"
"30 cents of berries each! Sir"
looking at the table in the tent that has about 50 oranges I'm going to buy everything. Am I or am I not a good Samaritan?
She looked at me suspiciously
"Do you have money, Sir?"
I do not blame her for that, how would an 11-year-old kid buy those 50 oranges? It is really weird
"here! 50 oranges are 15 berries in total, right? Take these 50 berries and get the change just because you're cute 'wink' "I'm a handsome boy, am I? hahaha.
After that, I went out looking for Nami with my observation Haki. I found her in the book's store looking at navigation books with star-like eyes
but not being able to purchase them, so I approached her
"Hey little girl, do you like that kind of book?"
she looks at me angrily
"I'm not a little girl, and my name is Nami!"
I introduced myself to her
"Hi Nami, my name is Monkey D. Jack" I looked at her
"So, Nami, do you like these kinds of books about navigation and stellar navigation?"
she kept looking at the books
"Yes, I like it but I do not have the money to buy it!"
"And, if just if I have these books and want to give them to you would you accept?"
she looked at me with a surprised face
"No, mom says that I can not accept anything from strangers!"
"Yes, your mother is right! You can not accept any kind of strange things from strangers, but I'm not a stranger, right? you know my name, and I'm just going to give you those books that you like so much."
she thought about it a little
"Well if it's not a strange thing and it's just the books I want it!!!"
I told her that the books were on my ship, and she got excited and asked if she could come along just to see my ship.
Well, I said yes because I can not refuse that puppy face, but I said to stay away because it is too dangerous what if she falls into the sea and could not swim?
I got on the ship for a moment, and take out a bag full of books from my inventory just for this occasion I'm sure this would happen, and showed it to her to make sure that I'm not lying.
After giving the bag full of books to her I said that I would leave but would come back again soon.
She was happy about the books thanked me, and ran like there was no tomorrow. Well, she must be eager to read all those books that she wanted so much.
Perhaps later when I save them from the Fishmans they will remember me because good things are hard to forget, and a kid as small as they doing all those things it's a shocking thing at least that's what I think, so I can make Nojiko and Nami believe in me after this event.
Now that I have marked the island, and left a good impression on the girls. I can continue my little journey, and proceed to the Sabaody Archipelago because the incident in which the Fishman Fishtiger will attack Mary Geoise will happen in a few months.
I need to get there as soon as possible find a way to go up normally or climb up to Mary Geoise if there is no other way and help Hancock and her sisters before the Marines came. This will be so harder as Grandpa Garp teaching the Rokushiki concept, Sigh...
Before that, I'm going to take a break for a few hours in Loguetown to mark the island too, and after that let's go do some surfing in the Reverse Mountain If I had a ship with seastone I would not have this unique opportunity.
I can finally meet Mister Crocus, the doctor, and the colossal whale Laboon. Perhaps he's not even that big, watching him more closely.
The island that my father was born, and at the same time the place where he died. I had to berth the ship because apparently, Loguetown does not have a port. I can see the execution tower from here.
Looking Around which surprised me is that there are quite a several East Blue pirates wanting to enter the Grand Line and follow the dream of trying to find the great treasure One Piece thus becoming "The Pirate King".
I feel sorry for them because Luffy the simplest person in the whole manga/anime story who thinks that being the "Pirate King" means "being free and do a lot of adventure" will do it, and they do not even know it yet.
After some rest time, and again have to spend some points to Buy an Eternal Log Pose for 300 points. It's time to enter the Grand Line although I'll go straight to the Sabaody archipelago but still it's exciting.
Climbing the Reverse Mountain is a difficult job because the force and pressure that water exerts is very strong and can make the ship hit very hard on the sides, the pressure is so strong that the ship's woods are squeaking.
Now I see why Luffy and the others get so scared with the whale, watching the anime and see in real life is really different. He's really huge!!!
If I am to make a comparison with the skyscrapers on Planet Earth, He would have the same height as the Nanning China Resources Tower with 402.7 meters (1,322.2 ft).
So close... almost hit this colossal animal or I should say that It was he who almost hit my "ant" ship even so he still managed to swallow the ship, and the ship came to stop inside his mouth.
Inside has a little Island with a house, some clothes on the clothesline, and an old man that is reading the newspaper as if nothing was troubling him.
Knowing that he is Mr. Crocus I remembered that the manga/anime has a funny thing about that
"Hey, old man, tell me...Where are we? And who are you?"
he turned around, opened his eyes, and stared at me for a while, I already wanted to laugh
"If you want something from someone, it's proper manners to introduce yourself first"
so I tried to respond to him seriously
"Yeah, that's right. My mistake. My name is Monk..."
"My name is Crocus, I am the keeper of the Twin Capes Lighthouse. I am 71 years old this year, Gemini, Blood Type AB."
I can not stop laughing now, my stomach hurts. After a while of watching me laughing
"You want to know where you are? You come to my one-man resort...and then being rude with me, Do you think you're inside a rat-stomach?"
then He does that thing with the eyes again pss....hahaha...I have to tell him to stop doing that or I will die laughing.
" Stop doing that, plea... hahaha"
"I see that you appreciate a good running gag!"
"Yes, that is good! my stomach still hurts!" waiting for me to recover
"if you want to leave, the exit, It's over there!"
I kept looking around, he really painted everything. He realized that I was looking
"I Like to Have fun!"
"pss.....HAHAHAHAHA".
I introduced myself again
"Mr. Crocus, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. Seeing my face, can you remember anyone?"
He stared at my face for a few minutes
"Hum... I remember seeing a person identical to you but I do not remember when was that!"
"My name is Jack"
I looked at him and made the famous grim then
" Y...Yo...You are...He's so....son!?"
" Yes, to be more specific you can say that I am his firstborn!"
(A/N: THAT! THAT! HE SAID! HE SAID! HE SAID THE TITLE OF THE NOVEL!)
After being surprised for a few more minutes
"I would never expect that he would have a son, and even more 2, this was almost a heart attack for me"
my turn to do a running gag
"Ah...I probably shouldn't have said about all that, HAHAHAHAHA...then, forget all about that!"
"AS IF I COULD!!!!!"
that was funny.
I talked some more with him about the past and decided to leave but before going
"Your father was a good man, I know that he did not raise you two, and you have the right to be angry with him, but one thing that you did not know was that he was with an incurable disease at that time and would die in 3 years"
I did not answer at the moment when I was at the exit
"I've never will be angry at him, I only got mad at him was when my mother was pregnant and he was not there and when my little brother was born. Bye, Mr. Crocus!"
