13 Chapter 13

Finally! The day has come, I finally waited for the merchant ship. They do not visit the island often, sometimes once or twice a month. I have been waiting for almost a whole week, and now, finally, their ship is visible on the horizon.

About an hour later, the ship docked, and I went to arrange a place on board.

Approaching one of the team members, I asked:

- Where can I find your captain?

He looked at me and said:

- Look, see that fat man, this is our cap ... - He pointed towards the deck. There was a fat guy with a cocked hat on his head and a pipe in his mouth. He was saying something to his sailors.

I nodded and walked towards the ship. Climbing on deck, I immediately went up to the fat man and asked:

- Hi, are you sailing to Loguetown?

The fat man walked over me from head to toe and said with a smile:

- Hehe, boy, if you need to go to Loguetown, you're out of luck, old Max usually swims to Loguetown from here, and I sail to Roken. It's on the other side of Loguetown. But if you don't want to wait for Max's next flight, then sail with us. We will sail through the island of Hilly Woods, where the fur traders from Loguetown often stop, we will drop you there. The Hilly Woods are just a stone's throw from Loguetown. Well, do you agree?

- I agree, when will we leave? - There was little choice, who knows when the next ship will arrive.

- Tomorrow at dawn, do not be late, we will not wait. - The fat man exhaled smoke and went somewhere.

Okay, it's time to pack, although I don't have that many, I think it's worth grabbing something to eat. And of course it's worth saying goodbye to the teacher.

Evening. After another training session, I was sitting all exhausted and resting, Rotret came up to me and said:

- So you're leaving tomorrow?

- Yeah, it's time to see the world. - I said looking at the stars.

- Haha, that's for sure. - the teacher sat down next to him and began to watch the same.

- Be careful there ... In the sea ... And do not forget what I taught you. - he turned his gaze to me and said seriously.

I nodded and also said seriously:

- I understood.

The teacher got up and started to leave, he waved to me and said:

- Heh, well ... then good luck to you, don't die there.

Yeah, I hope I won't die, although there is little threat to me in East Blue, but on the Grand Line ...

I lay down on the grass and relaxed. Eh, the stars are beautiful ...

***

- Yours to the left ... - Yeah, I decided to lie down and admire the stars, I had to fall asleep. I hope the ship hasn't sailed away ...

Having run into the city, I ran without stopping to the pier, to my luck the ship was still standing, but apparently not for long, the sails had already begun to be lowered. We should hurry.

I climbed onto the ship and looked around, well, like everything, I took my things, took my pants, now it's time to go to the captain.

- Zdarov cap, had time to eat, did not change your mind to take me? - With panting I asked.

- Heh, boy, I really thought that you would not come, and you were busy on the campaign, go and what a woman with a woman? - With a strange smile, the fat man said, patting me on the shoulder.

* Pff ** pff * he picked up a little pipe and said:

- Okay, hey! Caps! Blow here! - A cabin boy who looked about twelve ran up to us and the fat man continued:

- Escort the guest to his cabin.

The guy nodded and said:

- Come on sir.

The fat man continued to smoke his pipe, well, and I went to look at my house for the next few days, I hope days, not weeks ...

The kid took me to a rather small room with one bed, perhaps this is something like a guest room, since it does not seem that they have cleaned here at least once, eh, and I should sleep on this ... sea.

I went out on deck and realized that we were already sailing. Well, it's time already.

Yes, I did not stay here for long, but I got so used to this place, I have to return somehow, maybe when I cross the new world? Heh, dreaming, you need to get there first.

Okay ... Goodbye Mogos, it's time to get to know this huge world and become the strongest!

***

At that time, on the side of the mountain, not far from the pier, two were sitting. One of these two was covered in white like snow. Hair, skin, clothes, the only thing he didn't have was his emerald eyes. The second was stripped to the waist, with a cigarette in his mouth and comical green glasses, the sword was in his lap, and he himself was in the lotus position.

They sat in silence for a while, the first to break the silence was the white-haired one:

- You won't even say goodbye, is he kind of like your student?

- Already said goodbye ... By the way, why did you come Yukiso? Asked another, sipping a cigarette.

- Eh, you as always ... Well, I myself did not really want to come, the leader sent, you are needed at the headquarters.

- Something happened? I remember being retired ...

The green-eyed sighed and said:

"Sorry old man, Karasu tried to dissuade the leader, but he insisted, you know him.

The swordsman adjusted his glasses and stood up, turned to the white-haired and said:

- Even if the brother could not persuade him, then we go, it seems, something important.

The white-haired man got up slowly and said:

- And what about your student, won't you look after him?

The swordsman laughed and said:

- Ha-ha, this shket can handle it himself, I'm not his nanny.

- Hah, how similar to you, although I didn't think that you would take a student, after all ... You didn't even tell him the truth about yourself, did you? - Yukiso said with a half smile.

- He has no need, I have already retired, although it seems not for long ... Eh ... - The swordsman sighed and began to leave, finally casting a glance at the sailing ship.

- Heh, you are getting old, you are getting old ... - The white-haired man muttered and followed.
