Heading to Levely

Kaito - I can't answer that question -

Vivi - no, why not? -

Kaito - because I don't know where I am from -

Vivi - don't you know? -

Kaito - that's right, listen, my adoptive grandparents found me inside a barge in the middle of the sea, they took care of me, but they and I never knew where I was from -

Vivi - I see, sorry if I reminded you of something bad -

Kaito - you don't have to apologize, I'm very grateful that my grandparents found me and took care of me -

Vivi - your grandparents must be very good people -

Kaito - if they are -

Vivi - and why did you join the navy? -

Kaito - that's also related to my grandparents -

Vivi - does that mean your grandparents are Marines? -

Kaito - yes, they are from the navy, they raised me since I was little with the idea of ​​joining the navy too -

Vivi - I understand -

Kaito - now I would like to ask you a question, can I? -

Vivi - yes -

Kaito - well, I want you to tell me about your life in Arabasta -

Vivi - my life? -

Kaito - yes, despite being able to read hundreds of books about Arabasta, most simply explain their history, but I would like to hear what it is like from a citizen's point of view -

Vivi - I see, but wouldn't it be better to ask a normal person and not someone of royalty? -

Kaito - you may be right, but I want to hear from your words -

Vivi blushed a little when she saw Kaito's smile, normally no one would ask for her opinions because she was still a little girl, and hearing Kaito's words excited Vivi quite a bit.

Vivi - okay, mmm ... Arabasta is one of the oldest kingdoms ... -

That way Kaito spent time listening to the explanations about Arabasta from Vivi's mouth. After a while, Vivi started telling him some things about her life.

Vivi - and then my friends arrived along with Kohza and rescued me from the kidnappers -

Kaito - are you a good friend of Kohza? -

Vivi - yes -

Kaito listened attentively as Vivi had met Kohza, and how he later with his friends had rescued Vivi, when she was kidnapped. Kaito listened to this carefully and began to think.

Kaito - (in the anime, I didn't think they hinted that Vivi and Kohza could have a relationship more than friendship, I can't deny that they both think of each other as an important person, mmm ... I'll play a little and see how he reacts she) -

Kaito - can I ask you something? -

Vivi - yes -

Kaito - could it be that you like Kohza? -

Vivi - what !!!! Do not say foolishness -

Vivi blushed a lot and began to stutter when she heard Kaito's words. Kaito saw her reaction, but could not reach a conclusion about what Vivi felt, since Vivi could easily react due to the shame of having to answer that question without the need to feel anything for Kohza.

Kaito - calm down, I just wanted to see your reaction -

Vivi - mmmm .... -

Vivi inflated her cheeks and had some tears on the edge of her eyes.

Kaito - sorry, I didn't want to bother you so much -

Vivi - you are bad! -

Kaito had to be apologizing for several minutes until Vivi could forgive him.

Vivi - well, now it's my turn to ask something else? -

Kaito - okay -

Vivi - well, mmm ... I know, tell me about your life as a marine -

Kaito - I'd like to do it, but to be honest, this would be my first official mission -

Vivi - really, and how does the navy send a rookie for this kind of mission? -

Kaito - well, they may trust my strength enough to think that I am fit for this mission -

Vivi - I see, you carry a sword, does that mean you're a swordsman? -

Kaito - I could say yes, but my fighting style does not focus only on fencing -

Vivi - I see, and what about your grandparents, what rank are they? -

Kaito - well ... ah, well, my grandmother is a vice admiral of the navy -

Vivi - is she vice admiral? -

Kaito - yes and my grandfather is the current admiral of the fleet -

Vivi - what !!! -

Vivi was very surprised by what Kaito said, despite her young age, as Vivi belonged to the royals, she had enough knowledge about the world in general, and knew how important a vice admiral was and especially the admiral of the fleet of the Marine.

Vivi - wooo, that's amazing, your grandparents are very important people -

Kaito - yes -

Kaito, despite being proud of his grandparents, did not like to tell him that he was his grandson, he did not want to be treated differently simply because of his family background. That was the reason I didn't tell many people about this.

Kaito - well leaving my grandparents aside, can I ask you things about you and Kohza? -

Vivi - NO !!!! -

Kaito wanted to change the subject and annoyed Vivi again. For the rest of the day, Kaito and Vivi continued talking about each other. It wasn't until Igaram called them for dinner that they realized that the sun had already hidden and the moon had risen.

The next morning, Vivi got up early and when she reached the deck of the ship, she saw Kaito with his sword in one hand hitting the air. Vivi didn't want to interrupt him and stayed watching him until Kaito holstered his sword and looked at her.

Kaito - hello, good morning -

Vivi - good morning, were you training? -

Kaito - yes, I believe that a person should not stop training if he does not want to lose to anyone -

Vivi - ... and why do you train so much? Is it to kill all the pirates? -

Kaito - mmm ... I would say no, I train so much to protect people important to me and to fulfill my goal in life -

Vivi - to protect your loved ones? -

Kaito - yes, and now that you are someone I know and consider you a little friend I will also protect you -

Kaito approached Vivi and bent down to stroke her head. Vivi, listening to and feeling Kaito's hand stroking her head, couldn't help getting red like a tomato. The rest of the day was like the previous one, nothing outstanding happened.

The days passed quickly, Kaito and Vivi spent most of the day talking, sometimes Kaito jumped in the air to go to his ship and send reports to the headquarters on the status of the mission.

The first time Vivi saw Kaito jump through the air, she was very excited, Kaito could swear he saw stars in her eyes. From that day Vivi asked him to take her by air. At first Kaito was not sure of doing it, but after Vivi's continued insistence he decided to do it. To Vivi's surprise, Kaito didn't carry her on his back, but instead took her in the princess style. After a while, Vivi no longer knew if she liked to go in the air or be charged that way. As expected, Igaram learned about it and seriously criticized Kaito for his irresponsible actions claiming to endanger Vivi.

Kaito completely ignored him making Igaram even more enraged, while King Cobra simply laughed out loud when he saw the whole situation.

Finally after a long trip, the two ships arrived near the Sabaody archipelago.

In Kaito's boat.

Kaito - here Captain Kaito, I inform that the delegation of Arabasta will arrive soon to the Red Port -

Marine - received, the preparations for transport to Mary Geoise are ready, we await your arrival -

Kaito - okay -

Kaito hung the den den mushi and turned to face Kalifa.

Kaito - well, we will soon arrive so prepare everything to disembark, the ship will stay in the port next to the marines, Tashigi and you will also stay in the port -

Kalifa - okay, and what are you doing? -

Kaito - I will go with the Arabasta delegation to Mary Geoise -

Kalifa - good -

Kaito - well, I have to go back to Arabasta's ship to inform King Cobra -

Kalifa - well, before leaving I wanted to ask you something -

Kaito - yes -

Kalifa - what do you think of Princess Vivi? -

Kaito - what's that question about? -

Kalifa - I've been seeing you on some occasions with the telescope -

Kaito - oh well, I think she's a lovely and good girl -

Kalifa - just that? -

Kaito - uh, yes -

Kalifa -… -

Kalifa looked seriously at Kaito for a few seconds until she sighed and turned around.

Kalifa - well, for now I will believe you -

Kaito - well, although I don't understand what this is all about -

Kalifa - just let it go, I just have to tell you that she's still a girl -

Kaito site a great chill to hear Kalifa's words. Kaito now understood what Kalifa was referring to with those questions.

Kaito - (I can't believe he thinks I'm a lolicon!) -

Kaito felt indignant at Kalifa's insinuations, but then he started thinking about Vivi and couldn't deny that she was already beautiful at her young age.

Kaito - (no, no, no, I'm not a lolicon! If I had a preference it would be the milf ... no no no, what am I thinking !!) -

Kaito shook his head when those thoughts filled his mind.

Kaito - well, I'm leaving, we'll see each other when we get to the Red Port -

Kaito didn't want to talk anymore and quickly jumped and headed towards the ship of the Arabasta delegation.

Kaito landed on the ship and walked towards King Cobra.

Kaito - Your Majesty -

Cobra - does something happen Captain Kaito? -

Kaito - soon we will arrive at the Red Port, your men have to prepare, and so do you and the princess -

Cobra - very well, then we will prepare -

Kaito - well, once we arrive, I will continue with you until Levely begins -

Cobra - well, Igaram -

Igaram - yes, your majesty -

Cobra - prepare everything to disembark -

Igaram - as ordered -

The ships continued sailing and soon began to see the Red Line, and when they were close enough, they saw the Red Port.
