238 238- Zenny

After a few days of sailing, the crew met some Marine ships that tried to attack them, but were successfully eliminated by laser cannons.

Alveda tells Nami that there is a thick fog in front. Nami gives orders to Freya to take control of the ship's path. They got inside a fog area and there are a lot of reefs but with Nami's skill it was easy to get pass them.

They finally got out from the fog and they actually find an island.

After they dock , they go up to the hill.

On their way they saw a small goat so the girls tried to catch it but Ethan stopped them and told them that this goat will lead them to its herd and then they can catch them all.

But Sora told them not to catch this goat because she thought it was too cute.

Ethan and the girls sighed and decided to listen to Sora, in their hearts they decided not to take Sora to hunt animals again.

Everyone continued on their way but suddenly they were surrounded by a large group of goats and they seemed to have ambushed them.

Ethan looked at the goats and then used a little Conqueror Haki to get them to get scared and stop moving. "It's the first time I've seen such a clever goat. Can you tell me who your leader is?"

"Meeh, meeh"

*Great guy, please don't kill us, we'll tell you everything.*

*Our leader is not a goat but an old human.*

"I understand!" Having said that, Ethan disappeared from his place and appeared behind an old man who was in a tree watching them.

The old man was astonished that the goats stopped attacking and even more so when Ethan disappeared from his place, so he started looking left and right looking for Ethan.

Ethan: "What are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for that very tall pirate!" The old man answered Ethan's question.

Ethan: "I think he went right."

"Thank you!" said the old man, but after a moment he started to sweat and looked back and saw Ethan standing behind him with a smile.

Right after that, the old man fell from the tree because he was afraid because Ethan appeared behind him like that.

"Just roast or fry me! I will not give you pirates anything." The old man looked at Ethan and the girls seriously.

"Hoo, i'm a cook, so i can roast or fry you very good." Sanju looked at the old man while she holding a kitchen knife and licking it as a dark aura emanated from her.

He got really scared now and ran away but when he ran, he got entangled by branches in a bush. Zora helps him by cutting the branches with her sword but this makes the old man scared and faint and when Chopper and Kaya check him they say his heart has stopped.

The crew begins blaming and mocking Zora for what she did.

Chopper: "Aah, Demon!"

Nami: "Heartless!"

Kaya "Psycho!"

Sanju: "Mosshead!"

Makino: "Criminal!"

Lucy: "Santoryu!"

"Wait Lucy, Santoryu isn't mocking." Ethan patted her in the head.

"N-no, it's not what i meant, i just .. " Zora tried to defend herself but it was no use.

"It's okay, I can save him." Ethan sighed as he placed his hand on the old man's chest, 'If my daughter wasn't here, I'd let him die.'

After that, Ethan sent an electric spark from his hand into the old man's heart in order to give the electrical stimulation of the heart in order for it to work again.

After making this old man's heart work again, Ethan looked at the goats, "Where is this old man's house?"

"Meeh, meeh"

*from this way*

After they reached his house, the old man woke up, but he started blaming them for what happened and wanted compensation for it.

He wanted 50 million in compensation and Lucy wanted to agree but the girls shut her mouth. even though they were rich they definitely wouldn't hand over 50 million so easily.

'I should have let this old man die.' Ethan sighed in regret, if he is afraid for his daughter to see someone die then Kaya's illusion can solve this.

Nami stay and haggle the price and they got into a heated bid war. Finally the old man only ask them to help him in house chores.

Ethan sighed again and then looked at the old man coldly, "Old man, you seem to have forgotten that we are pirates."

The old man started shivering in fear and fell to the ground pretending to be unconscious, but Ethan and the girls knew he was acting this time and he didn't really unconscious.

Ethan looked into Kaya's eyes, then pointed to his daughter, and after a while spoke sarcastically, "Looks like the old man is dead. Let's dig a grave for him and bury him."

Ethan dug a hole and took the old man and wanted to put him in it but the old man stopped acting and then clung to Ethan's arm while screaming in fear "I'm still alive don't bury me!"

Ethan laughed sarcastically and then looked at the old man coldly, "Old man, if you ask such foolish things from us again, maybe your head will separate from your body."

The old man nodded heavily and didn't say a word to them again.

"Go to your house, we'll explore this island and then go back to your house." After Ethan said this, he and his crew began searching for edible fruits and animals.

When they walked away the girls noticed a smile on Ethan's face so they asked him why."No thing, I was just thinking this old man is hiding a treasure."

Nami's eyes twinkled when she heard the word treasure, "I was also thinking about it, let's search for this treasure."

Ethan laughed in his mind 'Hahaha,It will be interesting to see the expression on her face when she knows that his treasure has been eaten by goats and that the goat is his new treasure.'

....

The crew arrived on on top of the hill and saw a ship there. Chopper scared and freak out seeing a lot of small dots of lights. "GAAHHHH ! It's dead people soul."

"Don't be afraid, it's fireflies." He has to work to make the reindeer more brave.

Ethan looked at the ship strangely because he remembers in the anime that the ship is not supposed to be complete, but this ship is not only complete, but it looks better than the one that appeared in the anime.

Nami went inside very fast then the others also go up the ship but there's nothing on there.

Nami get out dejected, she didn't find treasures.

Nami is worried that the old man is using the ship to escape with his treasures but Robin objects because it is on the cliff and will break if it goes down to sea.

After they finished collecting a large amount of food and edible animals, they decided to go back to the old man's house while he was already asleep.

Sanju, Carmen and Makino cook for them and after they finish eating everyone shows a happy face while holding their bellies swollen from overeating.

Chopper got inside the house to check old man Zenny. Sometime later she come back and say the old man is sick and he will die in 3 days. They all surprises hearing the energetic and shameless old man will die. They feel pity and bad to him if he die alone and feel lonely before his death, So they decided to stay with him until his death.

'The same thing happened in the anime but the old man didn't die, Was Chopper's misdiagnosis or because being with the Straw Hats made his mental state better and overcame the disease?' Ethan is not a good person and doesn't care about this old man's death but because the girls want to help him he can't help but sigh and agree.

To confirm Chopper's diagnosis, Kaya also diagnosed the old man and said the same as Chopper.

On the days they stayed on the island, Ethan allowed the old man to eat with them for free and sometimes play chess with him, but he did not do things like massage the old man as the Straw Hat Pirates did in the anime.

Days passed, and a week has passed since that night, but the old man is still healthy. Chopper and Kaya think their diagnose is wrong, so the crew decide to leave.

They have a party that night because they will leave soon so they have some fun with the old man. Nami keep pestering him about treasure but he always tells her that his treasure is not on this island.

"You guys are really a cheerful pirates aren't you? Hahaha, i never met pirates like you guys." The other pirates would not be kind to an old man after what he had done in their first encounter, but perhaps he would be killed outright or, even worse, tortured to death.

Old man Zenny then tell his past to them. He was a money lender, he lend money to pirates so he often fight with them because they won't pay him back. He gather money for his dream that actually to be a pirate king, that's why he make that ship.

But he gave up because he's old now, and Lucy said that age doesn't matter if he want to be a pirate. This make the old man motivated again and decide to sail once more. "You're right Strawhat girl, age never matter isn't it?

"Hahahaha, then for Zenny's pirate crew birth, Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Hailey: "Hey hey grandpa , you're too drunk."

Zenny: "Hahaha, i'm drunk with happiness."

....

The next day they prepare to leave.

"Are you sure you don't need us to help you put the ship overboard?" Ethan asked Zenny in doubt.

"Don't worry about that and continue your journey, I want to stay a bit on this island before setting sail." The old man smiled while patting the head of the goat standing beside him.

Hailey: "Bye grandpa."

"Take care old man, it's fun to be with you." Ethan didn't want to admit it but he enjoyed playing chess with this old man.

Chopper: "You guys take care of grandpa alright."

goats: "Meeeh!"

Kaya: "I and Chopper have made many medicine so don't forget to drink them alright."

Zenny: "Alright alright, don't worry."

Sanju: "Bye old man, i've leave dinner for you, so eat it."

Zenny: "You guys also take care, see you on the sea someday."

.....

Half an hour after Ethan and his crew had sailed, a person over three meters tall appeared behind the old man, "Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, it was fun meeting Ethan and his wives." Zenny's slender body started to change, he started getting taller and his muscles started getting bigger.

His facial features did not change and he was still his old Zenny self, but became macho as if he had been trained for many years and had never quit training in his life, "Seimei Kikan is really useful."

"It may take a year or more, but it's time to make him the ruler of the world."
