232. Noodles

Alexander had used his magic to propel the ship faster. Otherwise, it would have taken them months to reach their destination. Although it was still going to take them about 3 more weeks.

They had come to the calm belt now and the ship was currently not moving. All the Soldiers were fishing for dinner.

It was also a practical test for the trio. He had handed them very long sticks with nets at the end. They were supposed to use Observation Haki and scoop out the fish.

"Huh... This is too hard. We could hardly catch the needle. How do we catch fast-moving fish in water?" Tsuru complained.

"Oh really?"

As soon as they heard the voice their faces turned blue, "Oh, Admiral. No, we were just..."

"Haha... It's alright. Just keep trying. Practice makes man and woman perfect. Now, let me show you how you catch fish." Alexander grabbed Sengoku's hook and started scooping out fishes one after another. He just threw them on the deck while all the Marines scrapped to catch them and put them in the basket.

It was even crazier as he was also scratching his beard with one hand at the same time, meaning that he was not even focused.

"He's a monster," Sengoku exclaimed.

Alexander heard that "Sen-chan, Observation Haki also makes you hear better. And no, I am not a monster. 'This' is a monster."

This time Alexander scooped out a giant Seaking. Though relieving to the Marines that he didn't drop it on the ship.

But still, everyone's eyes were bulging out, "How can you scoop that out with that small hook?" Everyone questioned.

"Hahaha... I just asked him to come out." Alexander said. He then jumped to the seaking's head. It looked like a Chinese dragon without the ability to fly. Its face also looked less scary and more cuter.

Alexander petted its head, "good boy, what were you doing down there under my ship?"

"Oh, other seakings bully you? Because you are different? Well, I say you are better than them. What is your name?" Alexander talked with it.

"Oh, so you don't have one? Alright, I'll give you a name. How about Noodles?" Alexander asked.

The Seaking made happy noises, "Haha... Do you like that one? Alright, would you like to come with me Noodles? We will travel the world and bring justice to the poor."

It turns out, Noodles had a very high sense of justice and firmly nodded his giant head. "Good, then keep following this ship. You also know my scent now, right?"

Alexander jumped back to the ship. Everyone was still extremely shocked. They had heard about people killing Seakings with a punch but never about befriending one. Not to mention a big one like this. It was certainly much bigger than normal seakings, spanning ten times the size of their ship, that was already the biggest one in the marine.

"Marines, from today onwards. Noodles will be a part of our team, okay? Treat him with kindness and love. He prefers peace, that's why his own kind rejected him. We are better than them. Now, let's go and cook those fish. We'll throw Noodles a welcome party." He announced.

No matter how messed up they thought Admiral's logic was. They all forgot everything and cheered when they heard about the party.

Alexander went back to Noodles and told him about the party. But Noodles had another wish. He liked the hat Tsuru was wearing. Alexander smiled and made Noodles another huge hat with magical abilities to always stay on his head.

"Happy now, boy?"

"Eeeeeee" Noodles danced around in joy.

That evening, they all danced and ate like no tomorrow. Not because they were hungry. But because they had too much fish.

...

After a week, they came near the Enies Lobby. also known as the Judicial Island, it was a government-controlled stronghold in Paradise together with the Marine Headquarters and Impel Down, and the headquarters of CP9.

Enies Lobby is located on an island referred to as the "afternoon island". It was a strange Island located on a very deep pit in the ocean. How the island was floating in the mid-air, or how there was a never-filling pit in the ocean, or why the island only had an afternoon, was beyond Alexander's understanding.

It was most likely made by the world government by some means. Just like other unimaginable things like the Impel Down prison which goes as deep as the ocean and the ocean was 10,000 meters deep. Or the Gates of justice located at Marine headquarters, Enies Lobby and Impel Down. Gates are so big that they form their own ocean current which Marine and World Government used to travel quickly to the two locations.

*Purupurupurupuru...*

Alexander picked the den den mushi, "What do you want?"

"Sensei, It's me."

Alexander recognized the voice, "Ah, Z, how are you, my boy?"

"I am fine, Sensei. I needed a favor. Your ship is the fastest here and I need to reach Impel Down. Can you give me a ride?" Z asked.

"Sure sure. Grab a boat and come to my ship. I'll wait." Alexander said and hung up.

Alexander gave the signal for the ship to stop. After a few minutes, a small boat reached their ship. Alexander welcomed a purple-haired young muscular boy.

Z gave him a hug, "Haven't seen you in a long time, Sensei."

Alexander patted his back, "Haha... You seem to be rising ranks. I got the words that your name is being considered for the next Admiral position."

"Yes, I did receive such news."

Alexander took him to his seat from where he watches the trio practice. The ship moved fast to reach the Impel Down. It was even faster with the special Tarai current.

Alexander called the trio, "Why are you not saluting? This man here is Vice Admiral Zephyr. He's just 31 years old. See, if you have a firm will, you can achieve anything. Z will soon become an Admiral too. So look up to him and train hard."

Once they were back to practice Alexander shared drinks and food with him.

"How is everything at Headquarters?" Alexander asked.

"Well, Fleet Admiral Kong hates you for never picking up his call. He even threatens to cut your salary. Though I doubt he already knows you don't care about money." Z told him.

"Hahaha... If these fools think they can use me for their disgusting activities then they can expect to never see me." Alexander laughed it off.

"What about you, found any partner yet?" Alexander asked further.

"Actually, I am planning on seeing someone. Let's see how things go." Z replied embarrassingly.

"Then I wish you luck. My blessings seem to work most of the time so relax now." He joked.

After a while they reached Impel Down and Z deboarded the ship. They didn't ask each other what they were doing and went on their way.

"Alright, Bald Chad. Next stop, Rusukaina." He loudly announced.

...

In a week they reached Rusukaina. It was a harsh island that has forty-eight seasons which change weekly. And right now, it was thunderstorm ongoing there.

The trio looked at the island with a questioning gaze. They didn't know what they were supposed to do on the island.

"Old man, what is our training about?" Garp asked.

"BAM* he received a fist on the head.

"Your training here is about survival. This island has animals so strong that even some Marine Vice Admirals would not be able to defeat them. Not to mention, the seasons here change every week. Right now there is lightning and in a few days, it could probably snow. You will live on the island for a month and use your Haki to defend and train." Alexander instructed them.

Dobby walked up to them and gave them a backpack each and spoke, "These bags have necessary equipment like a tent, Firestone, first aid, and a small amount of rations. You will always be under my and Admiral's eyes so be careful. If you do well then we might even take you to a special training camp at HQ. Good luck"

Although there were around 10 new recruits, they were all weak. Alexander could only feel strength from Tsuru, Sengoku, and Garp so he decided to cultivate them. That is why he was spending so much time on them.

"Blue Fang, leave them on the island and return," Alexander ordered.

"Yes, sir. Let's go, kids." Blue fang took a small dinghy and rowed to the island.

Garp was enthusiastic as always. Same with Sengoku. Both only thought about finding a good place and living the remaining days in ease. But Tsuru had a thought in mind, thinking why this island. What was so special that it could train them. Sure, there were animals but they can't be that dangerous, right?.

*ROOOAAAR*

"WRONG!" She exclaimed and was alerted.
