Ch 17: Tidal Slash

"Tidal Slash"

A large blue slash was thrown out and it kept getting bigger the farther it went until it was out of his sight.

"Finally…ha…ha…Hehehahaha"

He finally did it, not only did his 'Tidal Slash' have great power but its power increased as it moved towards its opponent.

"I feel hungry"

He looked up only to realise that it was evening, he went out of the water but his body had already lost most of its power.

He decided to rest a bit before heading home.

"Ray"

"Ray"

He opened his eyes when he heard the two people shouting.

"What happened?"

He asked, he was feeling very sleepy.

But what greeted him was not an answer but a punch.

"You idiot! How many times have I told you to not punch me"

"Get up Bastard!"

Ginny shouted.

"Oh"

He realised that he accidentally slept outside and he was so defenceless.

It seems that he needs to practise more.

"Do you know how long Olvia and I were searching for you?"

He again realised that he made a bigger mistake.

"Give me your phone bug!"

"Yes"

Ginny took it and dialled Olvia to tell her that she found him and they went home.

"I am really sorry, I felt so tired after practising that I couldn't even walk…Acchoo"

"It seems you have caught a cold, Ray"

"This is what happens if you run around in wet clothes"

"Sorry…Acchoo"

"Let's eat first, food is on the table, I will get you a doctor"

"No, both of you go together, it's night"

"Bastard, care about yourself!"

She left the room in anger.

~~~

Olvia and Ginny were walking towards the Doctor's home together.

"How did you know that he was around the coast?"

"Ohara does not have forests so he can only go to the coasts, which is why I ran around the coast"

"Is that so! You know him very well"

Olvia smiled as she chatted with Ginny.

"Yes but…"

Ginny smiled for a moment but then she stopped.

"But what?"

"But he has always been so hungry for power I fear that he will one day injure himself seriously…I tried learning medicine but it seems it is not for me and he is more proficient in herbs than me"

"You are right, Ray has always been moving forward like this, even though I don't know what he wants but you can see that he cares for us right, that is the most important thing for me as for everything else I support him"

"Hmm…I support him too"

"We support him together"

Olvia said as she grabbed Ginny's hand and kept walking.

~~~~~

The next morning, he woke up healthy and refreshed.

He went to the table and started feasting.

"I made more today so that you can eat your fill"

He looked at Ginny and for the first time in his life, he felt Ginny was like an angel.

Yesterday Ginny had to cook again because he was so hungry.

"Because of you, I had to cook again before sleeping"

Or maybe it was just his imagination.

He decided to practise lightly in his yard today and spend some time with them in the afternoon.

~~~

Soon time passed and it was already the end of his three-day holiday.

"I will have to leave tonight because the commander will leave tomorrow"

"Congratulations Ray"

"Congrats Ray"

"Thank you both you, I hope you will not slow down your practice"

"Yes Ray" Olvia replied

"Talk after you become stronger than me"

Ginny was getting arrogant.

"I am stronger than you, if brute force made people stronger, The sea would have long been ruled by Sea Kings"

"Yes yes"

"Did you do it?"

"Hmm… you can use it but you have to kill the phone bugs within an hour if you don't want anything to leak"

"Thanks"

"Yes, after all, Ginny is smart"

"Ginny is smart"

He said as he rubbed her head.

"By the way, Olvia, do you want me to deal with that guy?"

He was very annoyed by her brother, that guy was a coward who just followed his girlfriend.

"Ray, you cannot be like this, you cannot just kill anybody you don't like.

You need to learn to live with everyone, I know you lived in a forest before but to live with everyone, whom you like and hate is human, so try to be like that"

"But he annoys me too much and his girlfriend, I am not gonna leave her for sure"

"Alas…Ray it was because I couldn't pay attention to him that he grew like that as for that girl… even I don't like her"

"Pay attention? You raised him alone, what more can you do!"

At this time Ginny jumped in too

"Ray although he is annoying, he is her brother"

"Yes… lets leave him alone, I will leave today Olvia, is there something you want to give to me?"

"Wa-What do you want?"

Olvia asked blushing,

He stepped forward and grabbed her by her waist, then gestured for Ginny to go away.

"What do you mean shaking your hands off?"

Ginny asked angrily.

They already did sneaky things at night but she ignored it but now in front of her…her Ray is getting so shameless.

"Yes Ray, don't ignore her"

Although Olvia was blushing she still supported her.

"Hmph!"

Ginny was still upset, she clenched her fist and threw it at Ray.

"Ouch"

He cried out surprisingly.

Ginny put her hands on her waist and stood like she was proud of hitting him.

He was puzzled, Ginny's punches hit harder than usual.

Confused, he looked at her but…

He was shocked to see her arm black,

Ginny also noticed it and followed Ray's gaze

"Woo…Armament haki, I finally have armament haki…hehe"

Ginny looked at Ray who was shocked.

She proudly went ahead and sat on his lap.

Ray was still shocked.

She was indeed a girl from the Okui family.

But it also made him sure that Haki's strength is related to the Will of the person.

'Why am I not able to awaken it then'

A weight on his lap brought him back from his thoughts.

"Just kissing after all we are still children"

"Of course"

Ginny said before she started to taste him.

He was really afraid that she might eat him.

He needed to confirm if those facts related to the Okui family were true.

~~~

After spending some quality time with Ginny and Olvia he was ready to leave.

After reminding them not to talk about any secrets on the phone bug he left ignoring Ginny's reluctant eyes.

Ginny was upset that she didn't awaken it a day earlier.

He had still not come out of the quality time that he had with Ginny.

He went to the ship where Lucas was already waiting for him.

"Anything happened in these three days?"

"No sir"

"Then let's leave for the base, also my girlfriend made these cupcakes, share them with everyone"

"Thankyou Sir"

"It's okay, I didn't make it anyway"

Not long after he went to his cabin, Ryozuki came to him.

"Were you waiting?"

"Yes, I want to spar"

Ray looked deeply at his hand which had been cut off.

He agreed to the spar.

The result of the spar was obvious, Ruozuki was beaten badly.
