44 Be my partner!
In a calm lush forest. A big monkey was sleeping peacefully on a stone.
"WIGG" Suddenly in front of this monkey a Blue vortex appeared.
"KIKI" The monkey woke up and looked at the vortex with wonder. But suddenly four figures appeared from the vortex, which scared the monkey so he runs away.
"Everyone is okay?" Gray looked at everyone around him and asked.
"Yes," Tauriel touched her head and said. This is her second time to cross the world. So she and Legolas only felt dizzy.
"UWAGH" Mary was the worst of them. She has a feeling that she wants to vomit.
"Well," Gray saw that everyone was okay. And started looking around.
"I'll take a look from the sky," Gray said this and floated slowly toward the air. He wants to see around the forest from high altitude to find which direction he should go.
Soon Gray got a good look around him.
Sea! In front of him was a blue sea that he can't see the end of it. After looking around the forest he found on the left side of the forest there was a small village.
Gray floated down and walked with Tauriel and the others toward the village he just saw.
He wants to know what world he came to so he will search for some information first.
After walking for ten minutes. Gray and his party exit the forest and reached the small village.
This village is so peaceful. the houses are made around the village area, and the earth is so green. And the sea breeze gives the village a more peaceful and relaxing feeling.
"$%$#@^?(Who are you?)" But before walking into the village a female sound appeared from their side and walked toward them with some wonder on her face.
"Japanese?" Hearing the girl's words. Gray was able to understand what she was saying. Gray doesn't understand the Japanese language, but after watching much anime before he was able to recognize some words. looking at the girl's face Gray felt familiar. Black eyes, dark green hair. She gave him so familiar feeling. As if he saw her before, but couldn't remember where.
"6$$@^@^$?(Are you looking for something?)" The girl said again while looking at Gray mask. She really wonders why all the four of them wearing masks. Gray and his party gave her a very suspicious feeling.
".... What is she saying?" Legolas asked Mary who's beside him with doubt.
Buy Mary didn't know either, so she shook her head.
"Well..." Gray was about to try to communicate with her. But suddenly a group of thugs holding swords and daggers with them also came out from the forest while looking at Gray and the others with a bad smile.
"*sigh* You're finally here" Gray sighed as if he saw his savior.
Hearing Gray words. Tauriel, Legolas, and Mary felt weird and didn't understand.
Finally here? Who are they? Why will Gray sigh happily seeing them?.
Gray didn't care about their reaction and raised his hand toward this group of thugs to control their weapons. Seeing their weapon suddenly floated away from their hand and turning toward them. The thugs were scared and wanted to run away. But Gray directly controlled the weapons and trapped them in a circle.
Seeing Gray directly catching this group of thugs the green-haired girl was surprised. But soon she returned to normal, Apparently, she's accepted Gray's ability as if its a normal thing.
Gray walking toward the thugs and grabs one of them. They were so scared and didn't even resist, just kept talking. As if asking Gray to let them go.
Gray ignored them and entered the D disk of the person he's holding.
He can see that's this group didn't come with good intension. After all, just by looking at their faces, you can read(I'm a bad person) words. Gray was thinking about how to let the dark-haired girl allow her to hold her hand so he can copy her [language skill]. But he couldn't find a good reason After all the language barrier is there, and he cants simply catch her hand for no reason.
Since those guys are here. He doesn't need to say much. He directly controlled them and started copying the language skill and searching inside their memories.
After two minutes. Gray took his hand back, and a weird look appeared on his face. From their memories, Gray didn't get much information. But what he got is already enough for him to know which world he's in right now.
The thugs saw Gray lost in his thoughts and didn't care about them, they directly stood up and wanted to attack him.
But before they could even react. Legolas and Tauriel knocked them down.
Gray didn't care about all this and looked at the dark-haired girl again. then said; "Hello miss, I and my friends here have just come to this island and lost our way in the forest can you show us where we can find some food and suppliers"
"No problem. And thank you for catching those thugs, they were annoying the villagers for some time, soon someone should come and take care of them" The girl said this with a smile on her face while looking at Gray silver mask.
"Gray, should we kill them?" Mary came to Gray's side and asked him. Since they are not in their world anymore. She's not sure if she should kill them or not. If she met those people on the apocalypse, she wouldn't hesitate and directly make holes on their body with her spear.
"No need" Gray shooked his head and wasn't planning to kill them. Those guys are just a group of little thieves.
Simply bounding them will be enough, soon someone should come and take them away, as the girl said.
After that Gray and his party followed the green-haired girl to enter the village leaving a group of thugs tied by ropes on the tree.
...
Soon Gray and the others entered the village, the dark girl walked with them in front of a wooden building.
"Partys Bar's" Looking at the signboard written by English characters on the top of the wooden door, Gray felt funny. This world's main language is Japanese but they actually use English characters even though it's not the main characters for this world.
"Welcome to my bar. Take a seat, I'll prepare something for you to eat" The green-haired girl said this with a smile and went back to the back room which apparently the kitchen.
Looking at the girl disappeared, Gray and his party sit down.
"Gray, the language you both just spoke was so familiar, is it an Asian language?" Mary looked at Gray and asked.
"Yes, Japanese is the main language of this world," Gray said this and then started copying the language for them.
Tauriel and the others once again experienced the magic of Gray's ability. They simply mastered a new language by simply holding hands.
...
Soon after the green-haired girl came out of the kitchen while holding some dishes on her hands.
"Here, you this food" She put the dishes in front of them and smiled happily.
Legolas and Tauriel looked at Gray as if asking him what to do.
Gray slowly removed the mask from his face and started eating.
Seeing Gray removing the mask Tauriel, Legolas and Mary also removed the masks and ate their food.
"So handsome/beautiful!" At this moment the green-haired girl was looking at them with a stunning look. This is her first time seeing such a perfect group standing together in front of her.
After finishing the food. Gray cleaned his mouth and looked at the green-haired girl with a gentle smile saying; "Thanks for the food, I forgot to introduce my self. I'm Gray, he is Legolas and they are Tauriel and Mary. My companions"
Gray looked at her and introduced himself to her and the others.
"Ah oh.. I'm Makino, the owner of this Bar" Makino was stunned for a second when she saw Gray smile, and then she answered Gray in a hastily.
"HAMM.." Tauriel looked at Makino's reddened face and hummed annoyedly. She's not happy seeing Gray smiling toward other girls.
"Are you guys bounty hunters?" Makino didn't notice Tauriel's annoyed face and asked Gray. Trying to guess their identity. Gray and Legolas wearing armors while Tauriel wearing a soft armor and holding two swords on her wrest. As for Mary, The big spear shes carrying is enough to catch her eyes. So Makino guessed that they are not bounty hunters.
"I...." Gray wanted to answers but suddenly a loud voice came from outside Interrupting his words.
"MAKINOOO! GIVE ME SOME FOOD!" A young skinny boy about his 16, pushed the door from outside and entered the Bar while holding his stomach as if he was starving for years.
"I Told you not to enter the bar like this... *sigh*... Sorry about this, I'll go prepare food for him" Makino wanted to scold the boy, but before she even ends her words. A helpless look appeared on her face and excused her self and went back to the kitchen.
Gray didn't care about Makino but was staring at the boy who entered the Bar. black shaggy hair, round black eyes, and a slim muscular build. blue trousers with cuffs, sandals, and a sleeveless red vest. But what was the most eye-catching is the trademark(Straw hat) he's wearing on his head.
"AUMMM... You guys are weird, why are your ears are so sharp? Hahaha So funny. But I like it " The boy was so rude while looking at Gray and the others.
But before waiting for them to answer he continued; "I'm Monkey d. Luffy, the man who will become the pirate king, Be my partner!"....
