On the Way to the New World

Continuing where we left off

After I declared my new territory, I practically hung up on Big Mom, ripped off her flag and then chased her pirates away with the island's treasure. I said that if Big Mom messes with the island before I get to her house, I would destroy Big Mom's Island in one punch. Apparently her pirates took what I said seriously and they left. 

With that resolved, the monster trio and I return to the palace and tell them what happened, obviously King Neptune and Nami are shocked. 

Neptune/Nami:You gave everything to Big Mom?! 

- She said she would destroy the Island if she didn't get the sweets! Can you believe this?! I mean, if it were meat, I would understand. But don't worry! Saito threatened her! - Luffy said, leaving me surprised that he was once again at the forefront of the confusion.

- Luffy! - I say this looking at him angrily. 

Usopp/Brook/Chopper: YOU THREATENED A YONKOU?! 

- Incredible! You are very brave, Saito-sama. Hehehe... - Shirahoshi said, laughing happily.

- I would ask you not to make a fuss about Big Mom, but I forget that we have someone on her level. Saito-kun do you think it was a good idea to declare war against Big Mom? - Jimbei said worriedly.

- That would eventually happen between the two of us. Big Mom took one of Whitebeard's territories and as his son it is my duty to take them back. - I say this with arms crossed. 

- Well, we didn't have much of a choice. - Sanji said, smoking.

- What's done is done. - Zoro said, but we heard Nami approaching.

- It seems that the situation was very complicated and you had no other choice. - Nami said with a smile, but I knew she wasn't happy. 

- That's right! No matter what she is, I'm going.... - Nami interrupts Luffy and she beats the 4 of us with Zoro, Luffy and Sanji on the ground and me with Nami swinging holding my shoulders.

- I sent you there to prevent these idiots from doing shit, but you ended up helping them!!! You weren't supposed to hand over the treasure! - Nami shouted, furious at me. 

Chopper/Brook/Usopp: IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT?! 

- Now we're going to have to face a Yonko because of you! - Said Nami.

- Nami not having money doesn't mean the end of the world! - I say this arguing back.

- It's the end of the world for me! - Said Nami.

- Nami stop being so selfish! So you will die alone! - I say this leaving Nami surprised, but offended right away.

- You didn't say what I heard?! - Nami said very angry. 

With that, Nani and I were arguing and Usopp and Brook had to separate us. After that, we headed towards Sunny, which is ready for us to leave. 

Arriving at the coast, several people came to see us leaving, a good part of the people decided to give us gifts and now I have to deal with a crying princess. 

- Saito-sama, guys, are you really going to leave now?! We just became friends! Stay here for at least a day! No! One week! No! Just one more year! - Shirahoshi said, crying large drops of water.

- Shirahoshi, you know I can't stay for a year. In fact, what did I tell you to control your tears? - I say this with a slight smile.

- I understand, I'm going to stop crying. - Said Shirahoshi. 

- I never thought a day like this would come! The Mermaid Princess from Fishman Island that I've always dreamed of is crying because we're leaving! - Sanji said super happy.

-Sanji-kun! - Shouted a group of mermaids.

- I want to live here for a year or two. - Sanji said. 

- Great idea! Why don't you stay here, bloody nose? - Said Zoro mocking Sanji who got pissed immediately.

- What did you call me, moss head?! - Sanji shouted in flames.

- Who are you calling moss head?! You fool! - Zoro said furiously. 

- It's the end of us! One of the Yonko wants to kill us! We go to the New World after our death! - Said Usopp, crying in fear.

- Do you think she can forgive us if we hand over all the treasures we find from now on?! - Said Chopper crying along with Usopp.

Nami gets a new compass that will help her find new islands, but there is a chance of finding a dangerous one.

The cowardly trio, not wanting any more problems, chose not to use the compass, but Luffy heard everything and he wants to go to the dangerous island. 

- Luffy! Keep quiet! I will choose which path to follow from now on! - Said Nami.

- No way! I am the captain! - Luffy shouted.

- Please, captain! Listen to what the navigator says! - Said Usopp and Chopper at the same time crying together. 

With that Franky announced that everything is ready to set sail immediately and seeing that we are about to leave everyone took their leave. With everything ready, Shirahoshi decides to say something to his father in public. 

- Father, can you hear my selfish request? - Shirahoshi said shyly and her father was surprised to see her doing such an act.

- Oh! But of course my daughter. What do you want? - Neptune said, curious what his daughter wants. 

Shirahoshi keeps touching her fingers and she seems unsure of what she's going to say next, I notice that she's looking at me quickly and for some reason that makes me a little scared. 

💭 Why do I feel like running right now? 

- F-Father.....I-I.....want to marry Saito-sama!!! - Shirahoshi shouted, shocking everyone who heard. 

💭NANI?!!?!?

It seems like time stopped when the princess said this in front of everyone and her father, who is completely speechless, breaks the ice. 

-My daughter... are you... sure about this? - Neptune said, still very confused about what he himself was saying.

- Yes! I have never been so sure as now! -Shirahoshi said, fighting against her shame, after all she already said what she wanted to fake. 

All the residents of the island are in complete silence watching the chaos that is happening and Neptune looks at me with an expression that I cannot describe. 

- Saito....I can't believe I'm going to say that. Will you agree to marry my daughter? - Neptune said a little awkwardly.

Straw Hats: WHAT?!

- She wants to marry Saito?! - Usopp said in surprise.

- Yohohohoho..this is perfect for a romantic song. - Said Brook, who seems to be inspired.

- For this I did not expect. - Robin said in surprise.

- What does getting married really mean? Does it have to do with meat? - Luffy asks confused.

- Guys, Sanji fainted!!! He needs a doctor! - Shouted Chopper with Sanji on the floor with tears in his eyes.

- This is Superrrrrr surprising! - Franky said. 

I was silent through it all my mind is still registering everything that is happening.

💭 What? To marry? Does she want to marry me? THIS WOULDN'T BE GOING VERY FAST, RIGHT?! I'm 19 years old and I'm not old enough to get married!!! 

- Look Shirahoshi, I feel honored by the request, but I can't accept it. After all, we two don't know each other better and I don't want to get married now. - I say this trying to alleviate the situation, but Shirahoshi is not making it easy.

- Then! Do you promise you'll come back so we can get to know each other better? And will you take me out to sea and see the horizons? - Said Shirahoshi, leaving me at a loss for what to say.

-....right, I promise. - I say this in a tone of fear. 

Shirahoshi was very happy with what I said and Luffy, not wasting time, gave the order for us to set sail and that's what happened. At sea I'm sitting on the ground still swallowing what happened. 

💭 So, I now have to go back to Mina, Mirko, Toga, Vivi and now with Shirahoshi? What is happening to my life?! 

- Look, I didn't expect you to really be a womanizer. I think it's to be expected from a Yonko. - Nami said, clearly irritated.

- Look, it wasn't my intention to make Shirahoshi want to marry me, I'm literally too young to be a husband. - I say this letting out a sigh.

- Aham.... - Nami said, not taking faith in what I said.

- Nami, are you jealous? - I say that and Nami is surprised at what I said.

-Me? Jealous? Of course not! I have no reason to be jealous of an idiot! - Nami said, leaving, still irritated.

- I will never understand women. - I say that. 

- Give Nami some time, Saito, I'd say this is the first time she's feeling like this. -Robin said she's watching everything.

- So she's really jealous? But why? I can't understand why she is feeling this way. - I say this crying tears and Robin just laughs at my misfortune.

- Well, Nami hasn't had many moments where she can explore her inner self a lot, so with you here I would say that Nami is exploring new opportunities. - Robin said, leaving me confused.

- Just be careful, Saito because a thief has a precious treasure if you steal that treasure you will no longer be able to return it. - Robin said being vague and she leaves.

- I still don't understand what she said. - I say that. 

After that, Sunny left the Island and we went back to the bottom of the sea, but now we have to go up. Franky uses hollow wooden blocks to make the ship float and take us up. With that we are on our way to the other side of the Red Line. 

- When we cross this sea, we will be in the ultimate sea! - Luffy said excitedly.

- Finally! I will cut everything that gets in my way! - Said Zoro.

- Wait for me, Laboon! Now there's only one more half left! - Brook said.

- You can count on me! I will sail wherever you want to go! - Said Nami.

- That's right! Sunny will make it! - Franky said.

- You can be sure that you won't be in danger with me around! - I say this with a confident smile.

- I will heal any wound you have! - Said Chopper.

- You'll never feel hungry while I'm around! - Sanji said.

- The greatest Warrior of the Seas is also here! - Usopp said.

- Hehehe... - Robin laughs. 

- Kihihihhihi.... Let's go! Guys! To the New World!!! - Luffy shouted. 

Straw Hats: Yes!!!! 

********

Weeks after the arrival of the Straw Hats in the New World. 

*************

3 person vision 

*************

Saito is walking in a traditional Japanese hallway in the middle of the snowing night. He is wearing a tailored suit with black leather gloves. Scarlet tie. French shirt with cuff. And he is also holding Yamato in his right hand with Yoru kept behind his back. 

On the way Saito remembers the words Nami said to everyone. 

Nami: Guys, please forgive me for not being able to say goodbye to you directly. 

Saito has his Katana with blood on its blade and a trace of blood on his face. Many bodies of dead pirates are behind him. 

Nami: I decided to join Shiki's crew as their navigator. 

No matter how many pirates attack him, Saito always kills them without any difficulty, but this time he seems to be acting like a murderer. 

Nami: Shiki is a legendary pirate that Luffy and you can't go against.

Saito got where he wanted and he has a gate blocking his way, so he decides to throw a punch and the door flies close to where the pirate Shiki is sitting. 

Nami: You're just going to waste your time going after me. That's why I have just one request for you Saito....

Saito enters the main room of Shiki's base which has many guards who are sitting looking at him and Saito has a cold and serious expression.

Saito takes just one step forward and he is greeted by guns and cannons aiming in his direction. 

Nami:Please.... Come save me.
