Chapter 27

In One Piece As A Pirate

Chapter: 27

When all of the crew woke up in the turban, they started to get ready for the next journey. Although they don't know what the next destination is, they left it to the captain to decide.

When everyone gets on board. They saw Rood and Duke standing there.

"Captain! Didn't you get sleep last night?" Cooper, one of the swordmen, asks in surprise.

"You have good eyes, Cooper. Yes, we didn't sleep. It's an exercise for us. Do you know? There is a man in this sea. Who can't sleep, or, should I say, will not sleep for the rest of his life? He is also a pirate." When everyone was working and heard what Rood said, they were shocked.

"I am not telling you guys to skip your sleep. I am telling you because one day we may have to fight an opponent who is so strong that it may take five to six days to defeat the opponent." Rood said while looking at the sky.

"Okay. Our next destination is. Near the calm belt. K.Kish took whatever route was good for everyone's health. We have a lot of time. So, no hurry." Rood said to everyone, and then look at Smily on the side, helping Oscar with ropes.

"Smily. Come here." Rood called his new friends.

"Yes! Captain! What do you want me to do?" Smily ask.

"I know your desire. We all know that. And I told you everything I knew during our sailing. But if you want to follow your desire. You have to start now. There is no time because every single day, a lot of pirates appear in the sea. And the competition is fierce. So, now you need to carefully look for your own partners. You must remember when you are strong enough. It doesn't matter if you laugh like a mad person or cry like a baby. Now I hope you start your own journey from this island. Now get away. We will be enemies from here on." The moment Rood said this. Duke throws him out of the ship.

Everyone didn't care about Smily. They all know that Rood just taught him something, but he wasn't a crew member. Smily also knows what he is to the rest of the crew. So, he didn't react.

But tears rolling down from the sides of the eyes can be seen. Smily turned around and went to the city. He will start his journey and look for the partners he needs.

Meanwhile. K.Kish and, with the other member's help, Rood's pirate set sail again.

Rood went to his cabin with Duke. When everyone went to work, only one person was standing there. "Sophie."

She was expecting some orders from the captain. But there's none. I suddenly heard the running sounds.

"Sophie! Come with me. I will take you to your own cabin." It was none other than the young man, Gatlin, who was ordered to receive her properly.

When she went to her room, he saw a lot of diaries; the number is very high—maybe one hundred.

"Maybe because... I wanted to be a writer. So, he sends me those to start writing. Hey, how can a pirate know that writing a book isn't that simple? It needs materials." Sophie sigh. And she started to unpack her bags.

When the ship set sail and went away from the kingdom, Rood called everyone for a meeting.

***

"Hello everyone. Today I am going to explain our next three-year plan. Before all the plans start, we have to complete our membership. A Doctor. Which is very important. And an entertainer. Which is also very important.

Now listen to me carefully.

(The first) is the most important. That is exercise. Now that we have a new gun specialist, Sophie, anyone who has guns will learn from Sophie in the morning. Then take a rest for half an hour.

Then it is time to fight with us. Sharp weapon users will fight with me. Blunt Weapon is with Chef Mokume. Fighters will fight with Duke. K.Kish won't have that much time. So he will join us in the next exercise.

That is the training of observation Haki. We will take our turn to stand in front of Yoku and try to dodge as many attacks as possible. And before the time comes for our practice with Yoku, Yoku will be doing his own work, like K.Kish.

Last is the challenge time. It's new. The losers have to obey the order of the winner until the morning. This will be our daily exercise routine.

(Second), we will all look for an animal to our liking. We fought on the sea all the years. We become maniacs. We may not understand this. But when a little innocent animal saw us, they got scared.

So, to keep ourselves from exposing our ugly nature, we need to get a pet for ourselves. It can be anything. It's also a part of the training. It doesn't matter if you can't tame one. But still, try your best.

(Third) From today onwards. We will act like real pirates. Before, we just practiced and killed those pirates who attacked us. And take the bounty to enjoy life. Although South Blue isn't that strong, it has some bellies too. So, we will loot the navy. I always had a question to ask. How many bellies does the Navy have? Ha Ha Ha. In this looting process, we will completely work without getting caught, with the help of Sophie. We will understand where we should loot next, and so on.

(Fourth) We will look for an island in this South Blue. An island that nobody hasn't found. After that, we will put all the bellies we looted on that island. I mean it. All the bellies.

(Fifth) It's Sophie's who has to do this part. That is, to write a story about us in a book. Our names will be the same. I think you know what to do. It's name will be "Treasure of South Blue."

Sophie, You have to write it like hinting at that island; where might that island be? Make sure a pirate wants to find that island through your book. He has to at least be as strong as us.

We will do our best to hide that treasure. If nobody can find it, it's still ours.

But I am 100% sure of that with this step. More and more pirates will admire us. And they will one day come to look for us in the "New World."

This is my current plan. If you want, ask any questions. Just ask."

"Captain I don't remember anything at all, only the last part. It was awesome." Katcher said this while showing his teeth.

"Don't worry. If we train every day in that routine, you will remember everything." Rood said while smiling.

"Captain. What animal will you choose?" Rich (who wants to be rich) ask.

"I haven't decided it yet. I have to spend some time on it." Rood replied.

"Rood. I know a place. Where can we look for a doctor? And it's a good place. Where we can find animals. Its name is Torino Kingdom." Sophie suddenly thought of something and said it to Rood.

"Oh! We really need a doctor. K. Kish let's change the course. Target is Torino Kingdom." Rood shouted.

When Rood was having a good meeting with his crew members, In the Grand Line. Marin Headquarters. Rood movement has been monitored by the navy everywhere. But they can't understand which island Rood will dock his ship on. "The Reaper.".

Yes. In South Blue, The Reaper is terror for every pirate. Because of the Rood, hunt pirates like reapers in the night sky. They gave his ship a name that is very suitable.

At the Navy Headquarters. Tsuru frowns a little. 'This is the first pirate that doesn't want to go to the Grand Line. This Rood guy has been in this South Blue for a long time. And we can't even locate his location. There is no pattern in his movements.' after her work. Tsuru went to find Sengoku.

"What brings you here, Tsuru?" Sengoku looked at the person who appeared.

"Do you remember the pirate's name Rood? He hasn't left South Blue for a long time. I can't understand his desire. I can't understand the plan. It becomes a headache." Tsuru sighs and looks outside the window towards the sky.

"You didn't get any information? That's strange!" Sengoku looked at her and said it without any care.

"Yes. It seems Rood also has someone who can monitor our movements in the south. So, we couldn't locate his movements, Tsuru said, sighing again.

"Don't worry. He will eventually come to the Grand Line. At that point, we will catch this little pirate. And if he becomes much stronger, then we will send him in the new world to fight those big pirates," Sengoku told his plan for the Rood pirates.

Right now, Rood's pirate is 20 days away from the Torino Kingdom. Right Rood's is anchoring somewhere in the middle of the ocean.

There is no one on the deck. But if you look closely at the sea. You will see that all of them are swimming in the sea.

Most of them are swimming right behind Rood. Sophie and Yoku were swimming behind everyone. They will rescue someone if they are exhausted.

This idea Pop up in Duke's headfirst. Rood also agrees with it. So, Rood, add it to their daily exercise.

It's the sixth day that they are doing this exercise. And with the right amount of food. Everyone is healthy.

After the exercise ended, it was already evening. Tonight, all of them are waiting for the challenge.

It's not new to everyone. But today is different because. Duke said yesterday that he would challenge Rood.

After everyone's fight ends, Rood stands in the middle of the deck. Duke is the opposite. Rood can see that Duke might have figured out something special, so he wants to challenge me.

Rood is also ready to fight. When both started the fight, they were very fierce, so both of them jumped to the head of the mast. And started to fight.

After fight for half an hour maybe. Rood understands why Duke wants to challenge him.

'So you want to learn Armament Haki?' Rood can also feel that his sword can't break through Duke's defense. So, the fight becomes tense, and they both now have the same idea.

Rood's target is to wrap the weapon with Armament Haki. Duke's target is his fist and leg.

And the crew members saw that Rood and Duke forgot about them. They don't care anymore about the fight. So, I started to chat, and some people are already asleep.
