Chapter 7.

If anyone of you finds any kind of mistakes in the fanfiction do let me know.

I don't proofread after writing as it becomes difficult to read this whole chapter again so that's why you would find some mistakes here and there.

The emotion problem would be solved in the next chapter as this has become quite big. So wait for another chapter.

Don't write any comment with profanity words otherwise, it would be deleted by webnovel as it has released a new policy. So don't use damn, sex, shit etc. I hope you understand.

"When would you come out from behind the wall?"

Ray spoke suddenly smirking a little, making Nojiko confused about whom he was talking about before she looked towards the wall where Ray was looking intently.

"Eep....!!"

They heard a girl's frightened voice from behind the wall before they saw someone coming out from there. Nojiko looked intently at the person as she could tell that Ray had an interest in her as she has seen that look before and it was towards her when she met him the first time.

The girl finally came out from there with slow steps as she was having trouble walking while her body was shaking constantly. Nojiko could guess who was this girl as they have heard too much from Mary about his young miss. Nojiko looked at Ray before standing up and helping her to sit on one of the chairs. Her name was Kaya if she remembers correctly.

She is a slim and pale-skinned girl with blonde hair. She has wide brown eyes, that are lighter in colour. She was wearing a long inner top that was going towards her legs from the upper area of her chest. She was wearing a shirt that had light black lines vertically.

"Are you alright miss Kaya?"

Nojiko asked the girl who was looking down on the ground from her earlier embarrassment.

In her eyes, she should have acted like a proper miss though she failed miserably which made her embarrassed.

"I-I'm alright miss?"

Kaya finally spoke in a whispering voice though both of them heard her properly. She was still not looking up towards their faces. Ray was looking at this scene with amusement still he had no plan of speaking right now.

"Is it alright to leave your room when you are sick"

Nojiko asked her worried as she couldn't see her figure sister in such a situation. She wanted to talk to her more so she could check whether Kaya was a good choice to add to their crew.

Kaya hearing her smiled as she didn't think someone who doesn't even know her would care about her. She raised her head to look towards the other girl as she has never spoken with a girl of her age. She didn't want to look towards the other guy as she felt it would make her friend jealous. She doesn't feel anything towards him still he was a childhood friend.

Nojiko seeing her looking towards her smiled at her though she could tell the girl was trying to avoid looking at her husband which made her laugh internally. Nojiko could tell something was off about it as Kaya has not even seen her hubby face.

"I can walk outside for some time in a day though how did you know my name?"

Kaya asked the girl in front of her with a weak smile on her face.

"Mary didn't tell you about us and how he was praising his young miss in front of us"

Nojiko replied teasingly while flashing a skill towards her which made her cheeks rosy. She knows how much Mary care about her so it was no wonder.

"Since you don't know us then let me introduce ourselves. My name is Nojiko and he is my hubby, Ray"

Nojiko spoke cheerfully while pointing towards him who was sitting with his eyes closed.

Kaya who heard became shocked at this as she didn't expect them to be a husband and wife. When Nojiko pointed towards Ray, her eyes also went toward his figure in curiosity.

The moment she looked at his face her eyes become a little hazy due to the natural charm. Her cheeks started to heat up while her eyes become fixed on his face. She couldn't believe a person like him could exist in reality.

Kaya reaction was obvious to him as he could sense her stare even he had closed his eyes. It was not a shock to him that she started to act like this in front of him. She was lonely after the death of her family even though she had Mary with her. It does not solve any problems because she couldn't share them with him

She had gone into depression after the death of her parents and even started to doubt herself when she fell ill. Her self-confidence started to crumble before she stopped going outside.

She had only one friend who was that long nose traitor who was fucking ugly. With his nose, he would never be able to kiss any girl. So seeing someone like him for the first time in her entire life made her act like this. She could have resisted it like Nojiko if she was not ill, both mentally and physically.

He was not using any kind of charm in this. After all, he had reduced all of his presence when he came into this world and now only his natural charm is working.

"Ahem.."

Kaya instantly came back into reality when she noticed herself staring at his face while he was looking at her face with amusement in his eyes. Her eyes hastily went towards the ground while her cheeks heat has gone up again.

Ray seeing her reaction could not help himself so he muttered

"Cute"

Both of the girls had heard him which made Nojiko laughed became even she found her reaction cute while, Kaya was trying to calm herself though one could see imaginary smoke coming out from her ears.

No one pointed out to Nojiko that her husband was flirting with a girl right in front of her. She knew that thing though that doesn't mean she would fight with him or something. She has already accepted this.

The trio sat there talking to each other while teasing Kaya sometimes. Kaya also started to talk after some time and even made joke herself which made them laugh a lot. Kaya opened up to Ray and Nojiko slowly before starting to tell them about her dreams to which they gave her a thumbs up.

After she got sick, everyone started to tell her that she would not be able to do it as she can't even walk now. She still didn't stop her studies though it was getting tough for her to continue studying for more. Everyone told her to stop which includes Mary and Usopp the childhood friend.

The final thing which broke her from inside was the thing that Kalhadore spoke about when he thought that she was sleeping. He spoke about how he wanted to kill her however wouldn't do it now.

She couldn't believe that someone who was working for her family for 3 years was the actual person who murdered her parents and poisoned her so he could get her property.

She didn't say this to anybody because she knows that he could kill anyone from this village. He was a very dangerous pirate before he became their butler. She has even tried to go outside however she was always stopped by him. She couldn't even tell Mary about it as he would die if he would do something.

At one point she even decided to kill him by herself using a pistol which is in her room. Though when she went to do it, her hands stopped working and she fell on her knees crying silently. She was left alive because Kuro which was his real name and was not there at that time.

She was feeling like a prisoner in her house because there was no guarantee when would he kill everyone here. This is one of the reasons why she told Usopp many times to not come here but he doesn't listen to her.

So seeing some new people supporting her dream made her truly happy. She was starting to like both of them because of their easy-going attitude and the fact they were speaking the truth to her made her even happier. They were not telling her exaggerated stories of their sea adventures, unlike someone who always speaks lies to her.

"Kaya! Kaya!"

Her chain of thought was broken from the constant yelling of Nojiko who looked at her worriedly because in the middle of the conversation she just stopped talking.

"Huh, what happened?"

Kaya asked with ignorance of her previous actions which made Ray suspicious of something that might have occurred in the past.

"You stopped speaking suddenly and didn't even reply to our questions?"

Nojiko asked her with narrowed eyes as she has a feeling that Kaya has some kind of same past as her because she has done this kind of things before.

"Ah! It's nothing to worry about"

Kaya replied waving her hands hurriedly which made both of them nervous about something happening to her. Kaya didn't want them to die because of her mistake.

Before they could ask her more about her worries, they heard footsteps that were coming towards the kitchen room. Nojiko and Ray both went silent because they don't want others to listen to them. Though Ray could check if someone is near them with his powers however he chose not to otherwise he would get bore early in this world

"Miss Kaya you should go to your room now to take some rest and its time for your medicines as well"

They heard the voice of Mary who was coming into the kitchen with some medicines in his hands. Kuro was not around him so Kaya was not feeling any kind of pressure.

Ray used his sense of the medicines to check their contents and was surprised when he found out that it has poison mixed in them just like he read in the manga.

Ray stood up from his position and started to walk towards Mary who looked at him in confusion. Ray took the medicines in his hand before he took a sniff which confused all the people who were present in the room.

"Who gave you these medicines elder?"

Ray asked seriously, Mary who heard his questions was stunned for some seconds before he replied

"I had called a doctor from the other village who check miss condition and gave her these medicines to consume"

Ray hearing him didn't say anything before he started to walk towards the kitchen. Mary followed behind him curious to know what he was trying to prove.

"What is he doing Nojiko?"

Kaya asked her friend with confusion on her face though she got no reply from her because even Nojiko was lost right now on what he was trying to do.

"Hubby must have found something wrong about your medicines"

Nojiko after thinking for some moments replied to her seriously. Kaya hearing her because tensed as she supposed something like this to happen though she was not sure before as Kuro has not met the doctor directly in the mansion.

After some time of waiting, Ray came out from the inside of the kitchen to their table while Mary was following him around like a lost puppy. There was an apple and a knife was in his hands.

"Let me show you something wrong with these medicines"

Ray spoke seriously before he sat on the chair and Mary sat beside him.

Ray put the apple on the table before he cut it in half with the knife he brought from the kitchen. He showed them inside of it which was completely white indicating how good it was.

"Look closely now and observe it"

Ray spoke while putting some medicines on the apple then he would a drop of water on it which he took from a glass that was present on the table already.

It didn't show any reactions for a few moments before the apple started to decay at an alarming rate which made the people around him shocked in fear. The used apple eventually decayed and turned into a husk of its previous self.

"Did you see now what had happened with it and now think about what could be happening in her body internally?"

Ray spoke showing some fake anger outside so they would believe him even more easily from now on. Now he would not wait for days to play with Kuro.

The thing which happened here was exaggerated with his powers to make them realise the truth and to make them rely on him. Kaya would now trust him even more than before

"I didn't think something like this could so does that mean that the doctor is behind this?"

Mary spoke shivering in anger because he couldn't believe that a doctor of all people would do something like this. He always thought that it was an inherent disease because of which she was suffering however to think he was wrong.

"It is not the work of a doctor as something has been mixed after it was brought into your mansion"

Ray shook his head negatively on their claim though he was just speaking nonsense right now. He just wants them to feel that someone from their mansion is the culprit behind this whole scenario.

Mary looked very shocked at hearing what Ray had guessed. He didn't want to believe this however the proof was right in front of him and he is not a fool to ignore this proof.

Kaya reaction however was different as she had a sad look on her face. It was like she already knew this which made both Nojiko and Ray a little suspicious. They had some doubts before however now they believe that something has happened before.

"Who would dare to betray young miss? They all have been with me for a long time"

Mary spoke angrily which made Kaya worried. When he saw the worried face of Kaya, he calmed down.

"I don't either though I would suggest you not tell this thing to any other person even if you believe him very much"

Ray spoke seriously to which they nodded at him. Ray was trying to indicate towards one of their most closes people here which is Kuro.

"Kaya, you should get some rest as well"

Nojiko spoke to Kaya in a sisterly manner. She has already accepted Kaya to be her sister. So she was not letting anything happen to her anymore. For Nojiko the images of Kaya and Nami are overlapping each other which made her smile.

"Yes Kaya you should get some rest"

Ray also spoke worriedly to her which went unnoticed by Mary who was in deep thinking about some things. Kaya had a smile on her face seeing them care about her.

"Okay! Let's go to the room then"

Kaya spoke with a smile while holding the hand of Nojiko who looked at her with some confusion. Kaya another hand instinctively went towards Ray who was looking at her with a teasing smile. She immediately took her hand back and looked towards Nojiko.

"You would also come with me as I'm not going to sleep right now"

Kaya spoke trying to hide her previous embarrassing action to which Nojiko just let out a chuckle.

"Very well let's go"

Nojiko spoke while giving her hand to Ray who shook his head which made her frown a little as he never does this.

"You too go-ahead. I have some things to do in the village so I would come after some time"

Ray spoke with a smile while standing for her place and giving Nojiko a quick peck on the lips which instantly became making out session before they separated from each other.

Mary didn't say anything as he was in his world while the same couldn't be said about Kaya who had a jealous look right with flushing cheeks which was even visible on her pale skin. She also wanted to be loved by someone, not because of her riches. She suddenly slapped herself in her mind.

"Why am I even thinking like this?"

They looked towards her with amusement as they find her reaction too cute. Nojiko waved at Ray before taking Kaya with her through the door which leads to her room. Mary also went somewhere when they were busy making out with each other.

When they both were about to reach the door they looked back at him who just gave them a flying kiss with a wink. Nojiko just flashed a smile while Kaya looked at the door again as she finds it more appealing for some reasons.

Ray seeing her reaction just smiled at her without any other kind of emotions on his face. When they finally disappeared from his vision he spread his senses towards the other parts of the mansion. He raised his eyebrows a little.

'Hmm..? He is not present in the house. Where would have he gone right now?'

'Well it's not a problem so let's go to meet that third rate Pinocchio who is a traitor as well'

Ray thought while walking towards the exit of the mansion. He saw many servants working there though he didn't interrupt them.

After coming out from the mansion he smiled a little before spreading his senses across this whole island. He found several presences of people working in different areas of this island. They were not the people who he wanted to meet them so he scanned the other areas. Still, he could not find them so he spread his senses even more.

After some seconds he finally found the people he wanted to meet and both seem to be on the same ship which made him confused as they both hate each other guts. He was searching only on the island though they were coming from the sea. Well, it's not like he cares about this anyway. What matters is that they are both here.

'Let's go and greet them'

Ray with a dangerous glint in his eyes started to walk towards the place from where he sensed them earlier. He would go there slowly taking his time while they would land on the island.

'Some new toys to play with'

**********************************************

"Captain do we need to let him live anymore"

A random goon shouted while kicking a half-dead body that had a long nose. He was unconscious while his whole body was bloodied with different cut marks.

"Hmmm, not really"

The leader spoke without showing any kind of emotions towards a body that was constantly getting kicked by his underlings. It was such bloody sight to see as the goons were laughing while kicking it.

"He used to speak so much but now look at him dying already"

Another one of the goons shouted mockingly towers the body. They all laughed at this scene without caring about anything.

One of the goons took out some water and threw it on the face of the body. The person started to open his eyes while crying in pain which just made the other goons even happier.

"Where are your other underlings? Oh! great Usopp-sama"

He mockingly spoke while kicking on the nose of Usopp who was wailing in pain because of the constant beating he had received from them.

" To think you were trying to protect that silly girl with your measly strength!"

Kuro the leader of these pirates spoke mockingly while looking at him with loathing.

"You were just a delusional lier who thought everything would work out somehow"

Kuro spoke again while kicking Usopp on the chest straight which made him cough a lot of blood.

"Did you believe that I would leave you after every time you insulted me in front of everyone?"

Kuro spoke cruelly giving another kick to Usopp chest who was on the verge of passing out from the heaving beating he was receiving from him.

The goons had already become silent the moment Kuro started to speak as they know the consequences of interrupting him between his speeches. He is a cruel man that is why you should not make an enemy out of him.

"Captain Kuro just leave him like this after all no one would be able to save him from us anyway. He would die like an insect he is"

The right-hand man of Kuro spoke while gesturing towards the condition of the body. Kuro thought for some moment before he left the body while a goon cleaned his shoes which now had some blood on them.

"Very well Jango, we should just think of the slaughter we are about to do here in this village"

Kuro spoke fixing his spectacles to their places while walking to the deck of the ship and looking towards the island which was in their field of vision.

He started to recall the things which transpired today when he went to scare that lier away from the mansion. He never liked him as he was making hard for him to kill Kaya in a swift motion while poisoning her entirely.

He would have not to speed up his plans however the arrival of those made him hesitate as the guy was looking at him as a pirate. He could tell that the guy already knew about him being a pirate so he decreased the time limit.

Kuro laughed in his mind when he thought about that silly girl who couldn't do anything even knowing about him being a pirate and a traitor. She didn't even tell anybody because he might kill that person brutally.

He was not a fool to speak his plans to that girl carelessly even if she was sleeping. It was just his little plan to make her doubt herself a little more before dying of a heart attack.

Surprisingly that silky girl could still manage to live even after knowing the truth about him. He could see the fear in her eyes which was increasing day by day.

He nearly laughed out loud when he recalled how she was going to kill him with a pistol however she ended up crying there before going back to her room. As if he was gonna leave a loaded pistol in her room.

"Captain Kuro, why did you bring this insect with you anyway? He is a coward and a liar as well"

Jango asked his captain who was in his thoughts. He looked at Jango for a few moments which made him nervous as he started to think that this guy was important or something for their plan.

"This shit used to argue with me often because of his selfishness to talk with that girl. I didn't care about it so I never made a big move however today he dared to insult me in front of everyone"

"So I decided to teach him a lesson and followed him towards the forest where he used to go. I beat him there mercilessly then dragged him towards the shore before taking a small ship to came to this ship"

Kuro replied with visible anger on his face before he calmed himself down. When he brought that coward here, he ordered everyone to use him as a punching bag.

Jango hearing his captain nodded as he knows that their captain doesn't get angry fast. If he became angry that means that this coward has managed to step on the nerves of his captain which he knows that only a few people can do. Most of them has died at their captain hands early.

The atmosphere becomes silent as no one spoke anything now as they have finally reached the island where they have to kill everyone present in the village. It doesn't matter if they females, males it even kids. They all have to die so that their captain could live peacefully as he always desired.

"Kill everyone here if you showed any mercy then you would be killed by me"

Kuro strictly ordered his subordinates as he does not want the villagers to go to the Marines for help. If the Marines found out about him then he would have to run from them that kind of life he doesn't want.

"Yeah, Kill everyone here"

The goons started to shout in excitement before jumping from the ship. They were running towards the forest while Jango and Kuro looked towards their disappearing figures. Though they could still see them from their place. They were at least 100 goons here who were ordered to kill everyone.

After some time they both jumped from the ship and started to walk towards the forest slowly. They were taking their time to go there while talking about the property of Kaya. He was not known as 'Kuro of hundred plans' for just nothing. He has already planned many things.

He was thinking about the thing which he had promised to the goons. He told them that they could live with him in this mansion after they would kill everyone. Though he had other plans for this as he wanted to live alone here all by himself.

'To think they would believe that they could live with me here in the mansion'

Kuro thought while a malicious smile formed on his face which went unnoticed by Jango who was looking at the surrounding area.

**********************************************

"Where the hell is this place?"

One of the goons shouted frustratingly as they have seemed to arrive somewhere else instead of the village they were supposed to go to.

"Shut the fuck up, you idiot"

Another one of the goons shouted angrily towards the other guy.

"Calm down everyone and let's try to find the exit from here"

Another one of the goons shouted which made everyone nod with him.

When they were running towards the village suddenly their surroundings changed to a white room though there were not any walls here which made everyone freaked out. They started to search for the exit but could not find any clue.

When they were trying to find the exit, a voice echoed in the room which made them even more scared as they couldn't find the source of the voice.

"I would let only 1 person leave this room so decide among yourself"

They all wanted to leave however the voice said only one person so they started to attack each other. They formed teams so they could kill others even more easily which was proved wrong as they were backstabbed by their teams mates.

Ray who was watching from the sky was laughing a lot because of the fun he could see right now. He would no let anyone go alive from here however it was fun to see them fighting for their lives.

Ray suddenly noticed something from the corner as two more people came into his view which made him smile because he knows them very well.

"What are you all doing?"

Kuro shouted angrily looking at those morons who were fighting with each other to the death. Jango was also speechless when he saw the bloody scene.

Instead of telling them what they were doing, they all started to run towards the duo to kill them before their captain could kill them. Kuro seeing this took out his weapon and started to slaughter them mercilessly while Jango was overwhelmed by the numbers and got killed.

Kuro used his ultimate move and killed everyone on the battlefield. He fell on his knees as he was quite tired of using his special move here.

"Huff.Huff."

"Where are you bastard who made us do this thing?"

Kuro shouted angrily while trying to look in his surrounding. His plan which was made perfectly was destroyed here without him knowing anything about it.

"Clap..Clap..Clap"

He heard the sound of constant clapping above his head. He looked towards the source of the capping and become very angry. He was burning with anger right now seeing the smile on that bastard face.

"You..! Why did you do this?"

Kuro shouted towards the person who was floating in the sky with a happy smile on his face.

"Just for fun, Kuro of the shitty plans"

Ray replied mockingly at him which made him even angrier. Ray was having too much fun right as the expressions on Kuro face were fuelling his excitement a lot.

Kuro stood up trembling then threw his weapon towards the face of Ray who dodged it easily. Kuro knew he couldn't fight him as Ray was in the sky while he was On the ground.

He was about to speak when they heard the footsteps of two people who were coming from behind of Kurk. He looked behind him and smiled when he saw those two.

"Welcome Nojiko and Kaya"

Ray spoke excitingly though they were not excited when they saw the corpses which were on the ground while Kaya had anger in her eyes when she looked at Kuro.

"Miss Kaya you should go to test in your room"

Kuro spoke in a mocking manner which made her even angrier though she didn't speak anything.

"There were another one of his goons in the mansion and he tried to attack us though I killed him there"

Nojiko said while looking at the pirate who was fuming in anger. She has to stop herself from laughing at this scenario.

"He told us that his captain is attacking the village so we came here and found this portal outside which led us here"

This time Kaya spoke in anger to which Ray nodded. He expected something like that to happen which is why he left Nojiko in the mansion.

"Nojiko this is your first opponent so go all out"

Ray spoke to her while removing the gravity around her which made her happy as she could finally move freely. Kaya was about to say something when Nojiko disappeared from her position making her shocked.

Kuro who was looking at that girl suddenly found himself flying while coughing up a lot of blood. He didn't get much time as he was kicked again. Nojiko was beating him mercilessly without giving him any possibility of counter-attack as taught by her beloved.

Kaya was not able to see what was happening as they were very fast though she could tell that Kuro was getting trashed by her friend Nojiko. She looked towards Ray who was nodding his head at the fight as he expected this to begin with.

Kuro after getting thrashed by Nojiko finally stood up with difficulty. He was breathing very hard and looked at his leg where his weapon was thrown.

He took the weapon and used his ultimate move though instead of going towards Nojiko, he went towards Kaya who was standing there in fear.

Nojiko seeing this used her absolute speed to close the gap which worked as she was in front of Kaya. She looked towards the incoming attack before she clenched her hand and punched him with full power.

The impact of her punch broke the nose of Kuro and he was thrown very far thus getting his bones cracked. He laid there in suffering while coughing up even more blood.

"Well done Nojiko, you did better than I had initially expected from you"

Ray spoke smiling before he came down to their place. Nojiko hearing his praise blushed a little before she felt the gravity increase again with much more force than before.

She liked this force now as she could finally see herself becoming stronger. She could tell that she has not even achieved what she has started to train for.

"What are you going to do with him, Kaya"

Ray asked her seriously while pointing towards the location of Kuro who screaming in pain.

Kaya looked unsure of herself before she took out the pistol from her pocket and started to walk towards his body. Her hands were shivering a lot in nervousness.

Ray seeing her like this decided to help her a little by putting his hand on her shoulders which made her stop trembling. He gave her shoulder a light squeeze before looking at her with a smile.

Kaya looked at him for some seconds in appreciation before she nodded and went to Kuro place. She aimed her gun at his head who started laughing at her.

"You wouldn't be able to do the-bam"

And just like this, the great Kuro died with a shocked look on his face while Kaya started to cry nonstop, however, no one came to help her as they know she has to overcome this by herself.

"You are trying to flirt with a girl while your wife is beside you huh?"

Nojiko spoke to Ray with some fake anger on her face which made him chuckle.

"Is my beautiful wife jealous of this?"

Ray spoke teasingly to Nojiko who just pouted at him. He could not control himself before giving her a passionate kiss to let her know that she would be his first no matter what.

They separated quickly as they don't want Kaya to think that they don't care about her. They both went to her place to take her back to her mansion. Kaya has stopped crying by the time they arrived.

She went with them to her house though no one spoke anything in the way. She was however in between Nojiko and Ray who were both supporting her through the shoulder. She was leaning her head on Ray's arm which made Nojiko and Ray happy as she was not mad at them for this.

Ray before going towards her house cleaned the mess he created. He had thrown every person soul in the void while he has stored the body of Kuro and Jango for bounty. After all, a future girl of his crew likes money very much.

While this was happening no one asked him about his powers that he has used here earlier. The reason behind this is very simple and it's one of Ray's powers.

With this power, of his no one would ever question his abilities. Whatever he would do, people would think it's normal because he can do this.

Just like we pray to gods and ask for different things when we don't even know if they can do this. This is the same because people would believe that Ray can do this no matter what he would show them.

'I would have to solve this problem of mine fast because I can feel that I would be able to go beyond this'

Ray thought while looking at the sky with a small smile on his face.
