Vol. 04 Ch. 17 – Return To The Sea

That day was an unforgettable day for Bepo, he went sailing is to find his brother, Zepo. But because of his carelessness, he was swept away by the waves while climbing down Zunesha's feet, the elephant Naitamie-Norida who roamed the New World and carried the island of Zou on his back. In the end, he boarded a ship heading for North Blue, and a year later, he roamed in Swallow Island to meet Law. On the island, he was intimidated by two boys named Shachi and Penguin, but Law came and paralyzed Shachi and Penguin with the power of his Devil Fruit. In the end, Bepo followed Law to the temporary headquarters of the ART Pirates and saw something very erotic. He tried to introduce himself but because of their mistakes, it made him receive special training from Hancock.

Hancock: "You animal, don't try to change the subject. Law came with me, it looks like the training I gave was still lacking. Animals, you too. " Hancock immediately walked to drag Law by pulling the collar of his shirt.

Bepo: "YES! I'm sorry." Bepo shouted in reply but immediately returned to depression and apologized.

After several hours of torture ... cough, special training from Hancock. Law and Bepo kept muttering apologies and apologies until dinner time. Baby-5 who saw Law's condition could only shake her head in wonder why Law had never learned from his mistakes.

Baby-5: "Robin, please wake young master Arthur and Monet. It's dinner time and we need to ask young master Arthur what should we do with the white bear? " Baby-5 summoned the others who were in the temporary headquarters yard.

Sugar: "Isn't he the mascot young master Arthur wants, he does look very funny." Sugar's hand moved like she wanted to squeeze something when she saw Bepo's ears.

Robin: "Hancock! It's enough, Arthur is waiting for us in the dining room. " Robin shouted for Hancock to stop her special training.

Hancock: "Law, animal, today is enough, time for dinner, don't forget to clean yourself, especially washing your hands with soap before eating."

Law + Bepo: "Yes, ma'am!" Law and Bepo immediately ran into the house because they did not want to stay there any longer.

Arthur who had woken up immediately went to the bathroom to clean himself. Monet who also woke up shortly afterward remembered what had just happened and blushed and started looking for Arthur but found him who was not beside him and heard the sound of water flowing from the bathroom which was none other than Arthur so she decided to join Arthur. Once again they enjoyed the paradise of the world once again until they heard Robin's voice from outside the room.

Monet: "Looks like it's dinner time." Monet came out of the bathroom naked and began to dry her hair.

Arthur: "I also forgot to talk about Bepo who came with Law." Arthur finally created the door in their room and went down to the dining room.

Robin: "Finally you guys come down too. And Monet, congratulations on joining us, this way, Arthur already has 3 woman and you are our sister now. "

Monet: "Yes, thank you, I was very lucky to meet Arthur."

Sugar: "Does that mean I have a new sister? Yay! " Sugar is also happy with her new family.

Hancock: "Arthur, are these talking animals the mascots you've been waiting for?" Hancock pointed his finger at Bepo.

Bepo: "I'm sorry."

Arthur: "Yeah, so, Bepo, do you want to join being a member of the ART Pirate?" Arthur reached out to Bepo to recruit him.

Law: "Bepo, join us, this way we will be able to start the adventure again exploring the whole ocean."

Bepo: "Eh, may I join you?"

Sugar: "Of course, we always accept your fuzz." Sugar who can't wait has started petting Bepo's ears.

Bepo: "Thank you."

Arthur: "For our new member, KANPAI!" Arthur raised his glass and began their party.

Hancock: "Does that mean we can leave North Blue now?" Hancock, who was enjoying the party, asked Arthur about his plans.

Arthur: "Hancock, I want you and Law to hunt Sea King and Baby-5 can go with Bepo to buy other supplies for our trip. So the next day after tomorrow we will be able to continue our journey to East Blue. "

Robin: "That means we have to cross the Red Line? Why don't we just go to West Blue bypassing the New World so its more easily? "

Hancock: "You're the only one in this world who said going through New World was easier, but it is true that with Athena we won't have any trouble getting through it." Hancock shook her head at Robin's words.

Arthur: "More precisely I want to go to Paradise first and to East Blue after that. There is a girl I want to recruit there in the grand line. "

Baby-5: "Finally young master Arthur returns to normal." Baby-5, Robin, and Hancock nodded their heads.

Monet: "Is that so? How many woman do you want? "

Arthur: "I don't know, I'm just honest with my feelings, if I love you then I will say love you. I will be behind you to encourage you when you lose your spirit, I will be by your side to accompany you when you feel lonely, and I will be in front of you to lead and protect your every step. " Arthur's words made his woman very happy.

Hancock + Robin + Monet: "I will not let you sleep tonight." The three of them say it together.

That night Arthur did not sleep until the following night, so do the other members. Their departure plan was delayed because the four of them were still having fun leaving Baby-5 to train the other members. Finally, after 1 week later they managed to continue their journey to Reverse Mountain. The Marines who got information about their departure to the Grand Line began to make plans for their ambush. The residents of North Blue began to calm down because one of the world's most famous pirates left their sea. When they finally arrived at the Reverse Mountain watergate, those who had never seen it, of course, were shocked.

Monet: "I don't know that the water can flow upwards the mountain."

Sugar: "Wow, are we going up that mountain, young master Arthur?" Sugar who ran to the edge of the deck saw Reverse Mountain with glowing eyes.

Bepo: "I didn't pass this when I went to North Blue." Bepo who is from New World also doesn't know much about this ocean.

Hancock: "You are from New World but don't know anything about the ocean, if it wasn't for Arthur asking me to teach you about navigation then I wouldn't bother." Hancock crossed her arms and spoke in a slightly irritated tone.

Bepo: "I'm sorry."

Arthur: "Robin taught Monet about techniques for gathering and managing information, Baby-5 taught Law about medicine and health knowledge, while you, Hancock, taught Bepo about sea navigation."

Sugar: "Then what should I learn, young master Arthur?" Sugar pulled Arthur's sleeve.

Arthur: "After you finish training your body, I want to teach you all about weapons, so you can fight from afar and protect our backs. Do you want, Sugar? "

Sugar: "Of course, young master Arthur. I will protect all of you. "

Arthur: "Law, I want to ask from yesterday, where did you get that kodachi?" Arthur saw Law carrying a sword that was twice as long as his height.

Law: "I bought it while on Swallow Island because the captain delayed our voyage, made me bored, and went to the city for a walk, so I finally saw this kodachi in one of the weapons shops. I don't know why I want to have it the first time my eyes see it, it's called Kikoku. " Law showed the kodachi to the other members.

Arthur: "You must successfully conquer this cursed sword before you can use it as you wish. I will teach you basic sword techniques and meditate to improve your sword skills. " Arthur pulled Kikoku from the scabbard and returned it after finishing checking it.

Bepo: "Captain! How about my training practice? " Bepo raised his hand to ask Arthur.

Arthur: "You are a member of the Mink Tribe, so you must be able to master Electro and your Sulong form."

Bepo: "How did captain know so much about the Mink tribe? Has captain ever been to Zou Island? " Bepo was a little surprised to hear Arthur's answer.

Arthur: "Not yet, I only know from books I've read. But we will go to Zou Island which is on Zunesha's back to being able to sail to Laugh Tale island. " Arthur looked towards the New World where the last island of the Grand Line might be.
