Chapter 24- Made- Up story

"Gladly," Vero said.

"I am ready when you are. Oh! What was your name again?" Vero said.

"I didn't say my name. So, you don't know. My name is Rin Keko if you so want to know it." Loli in her cute voice tone may thought of as auto-tuned voice by the people who hear it.

"We can go ahead now anytime when you want. Tell me when you are ready." Vero had a provocative smile on his face when saying this.

"I am ready already if you so desire. Try to keep up with my speed." This time it was Loli who said this.

Loli started jumping in her place to warm herself up and then jumped on one tree like it was nothing. From there she jumped from one tree to another tree while jumping.

"Where are you, Vero? I thought you would be fast but you are quite slow." Rin said turning her neck back and can see that Vero was still standing in the far in the same place. But what made Loli confused was that Vero had a smile on his face.

"Let's play your little game your way. Shall we?" Vero said to himself in a low tone bending his knees and kicking the ground with strong force.

He was kicking the trunks of trees and jumping forward with not so much effort. His speed was constantly rising and rising like momentum in the start continuously stacking up to give him a boost in speed.

"Rimuru, Nappa you guys stay here, I have some scouting to do. I am going to check if there are any monsters nearby. There is a big possibility of that being true." Zoro said.

"Nappa, you must care take of these two until I or Vero return." He said patting the shoulder of Nappa.

"Of course, I will protect these fools," Nappa said in a proud tone like it was not a big deal.

Gojo walked in the other direction of the deep forest and was out of sight with in a little time.

On the other hand, Vero was slowly catching up to the Loli.

But Loli realizing has a good technique of running in the forest increases her efforts to get ahead and only be in the distance where Vero can barely see her to follow him.

"He is good but he still needs training and more strength to reach my level," Loli mumbled.

'Swoosh'

A sound flashed behind the Loli and before she could react to it and look turning back that what was happening, she saw that Gojo was in front of her while running on the tree without looking ahead but instead looking in his direction. There was a visible black aura around him which was scary.

"What about me then, am I just like Vero or am I good enough to catch up to you." The air and aura around Gojo were not like before and his voice was solemn.

Loli wanted to stop and run away from Gojo but the next words broke her these thoughts.

"Don't you dare to stop or run away, because you will die that way? Keep going in the direction where you were going while hearing me without even spitting one word out of your mouth.

Did you understand?" Gojo asked.

Loli nodded while gulping her saliva out of fear.

"Good. Now, hear. What are you trying to do is very clear to me, you are not worthy to know what lies past the grand line or stop trying to porch others to your team. Because they would not be enough to fight against what is after you. They will die in vain, and I don't want people dying to be members of my team. So, back off with your planning or I will end you." Saying this figure of Gojo's spirit in two shadow balls and disappearing in the forest.

When the figure of Gojo disappeared, Loli hesitated but stopped going forward. The face of Loli was covered in confusion, horror and mostly with surprise.

As she was thinking this, Vero slowly caught up to him.

'Rapid Panting and heavy breathing.'

Vero reaching next to Loli stopped while placing his hands on his knees and breathing in a ragged manner.

"You are fast, I give you that much. But why did you stop, we haven't reached the shelter." Vero asked.

After some moments, his breathing was now in little control and he hadn't heard any word from the Loli so he looked up to see what she was doing.

All he saw was that Loli was in some trance with their face constricted due to horror and shock.

Standing from the knee holding the bend position, Vero grabbed the hand of Loli and started shaking it.

This finally made loli come out of the trance or shock she was in.

"Huh"

"I was asking why have you stopped. Is there some monster that we have to be wary of? Show me the monster, I will see if I can kill it." Vero said.

"Would you believe me that what I just saw?" Loli asked scared.

"Of course, you can tell me." Vero showed a casual expression.

"It was Gojo. He was just here standing in front of me running while facing toward me." Loli said.

"Stop with BS, why would he be here? He must be with Arc and other guys. It would help if you were hallucinating. You know what take me there." Vero said like he did not just previously say that he would believe her.

Loli also understood that it is no use in telling this person about that.

'But, how does Gojo know about the Grand line? Was it my hallucination or has ha reached that secret that I am trying to get to?' She thought to himself and tried acting his usual demeanour.

Vero was already fooled by this level of acting because he was not much of a social guy, to begin with.

"I was just kidding. Let's go quickly." When she said this, Vero let go of her hand while looking toward her to move so that he could follow behind her.

'He is a fool, then why should he be sent after me? But, he is a cute fool.' Loli thought before finally running again.
