Chapter 8: Just Another Day

Imu looked at her kneeling subordinates on the ground, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Ɯү υ۶έ ₵θ₥έ ħέર૮?"

Her voice contained no emotion when she said those words.

As soon as the five old men heard her voice, they started to get nervous.

"Imu-sama, an intruder entered the holy land. We don't know what he wants here, but we know he's strong... Stronger than the five of us. We almost died earlier when he entered our room"

The fat old man with a scar on the left side of his face explained.

Imu didn't say anything, but her eyes were looking down on the five old men with rage.

Her aura was coming out of her body. It was dark and intimidating enough to make the five elders sweat.

Though they weren't scared, their bodies were reacting to her aura.

Why would they be scared of the woman they bowed to serve for centuries?

Even if she killed all of them right now, they would just stay there and do nothing about it.

"Ƒїњϖ Һїϻ Ѧп∂ Ҡїњϖ Һїϻ."

"As you wish, Imu-sama."

All five elders accepted in sync, though they would do it anyway because they found the intruder to be a threat.

Soon, the five elders left and Imu was the only one in the massive room.

She decided to leave the room after a long time of thinking. She entered a room, or rather, a forest due to its massive size. It felt like daytime inside that place, unlike outside where it was night.

She moved towards a certain black sword that was pierced into the ground.

The sword also pierced a poster of a young man with a straw hat on his head. The young man on the poster had a smile on his face. If you looked at the poster, you would know that it was a bounty poster for a pirate.

Imu, who had seen the poster again, was furious. Once again, she was reminded of her enemy with that straw hat.

"Јσүвσў."

Inside the only bookstore of Grove 1, on one of the room, there a man on the bed peacefully sleeping, sunlight gaze his face.

It cause him to wake up, He opened his eyes slowly, he decided to get up from the bed and walk towards his closet.

Opening it, he saw many neat and clean clothes, he decide to grab one and wears it.

"What a nice day to opened the bookstore"

The man muttered.

He honestly will like to stay here more than his previous planet, this place was peaceful, he can always read books and sometimes help people about their problems.

The man decided to leave the room, it was now time to opened his bookstore.

Getting down the stairs, he quickly move towards the windows on the first floor of his house.

While opening it, the man can't help but smile expecting many costumers, though it didn't happen.

The man then moves towards the door, and flip the sigh on it. Close -> Opened

"Another day without a custome... Umm Amelia? Are you here to return the book?"

While the man was flipping the sigh, he saw this blurry figure outside so he decided to Opened the door to see the person outside.

"Yes, mr.Azrael I already done with the book."

Outside Amelia was shyly looking down on the ground.

'Hmm? Why is she blushing? Don't tell me... No. I shouldn't think like that.'

Azrael blurred out the thought formating on his head, as he deem it was no good.

"Come inside"

Azrael made a gesture, his left hand was on the door keeping it open while the other was extended, gesturing Amelia to come inside.

Amelia didn't become shy and entered.

Amelia walk towards the chair close to the table and sat on it, she place the book she was holding on the table.

Azrael walk towards his table, once on it, he gently grab the book Amelia returned.

He turned around, behind him was bookshelfs full of book, he walks closer to the bookshelf and place the book on its place.

He decided to sat down on the chair after putting the book on the shelf.

"Umm.. Mr.Azrael can i borrow another book from you?"

Amelia Requested.

'oho it seems this girl is Liking romance type of stories'

Azrael smiled, thinking he was right.

"Of course anything for you.."

"Please remove the Miss, We are friends right?"

"Certainly, Amelia! So call me Azrael from now on too!"

Azrael was happy to have to call this woman like a friend.

Earlier he stopped and gave a hint to make Amelia say this herself and he was right.

He was thankful that he had read a book about communications, as before he will literally don't answer someone once he felt awkward.

Amelia for some reason, her heart was pounding fast, her cheeks was getting slightly red, Azrael noticed it but decided to ignore it.

"So Amelia.. did you two comeback?"

Azrael can't help but to asked her current relationship.

He lend those books to her to air her about her relationship, as he deem Amelia is having a hard time moving up.

"Yes.."

Azrael frown when he heard Amelia answer, all he know was Amelia is good, so the man Amelia is dating must be the wrong here, But Amelia still date him again. At the end he decided to not involved in Amelia relationship anymore.

Amelia gulp hard.

"Are you angry?"

Azrael can't help but to be surprised by Amelia question.

'Shoot did she think i have crush on her or something?'

"No. i just think the best for you"

Amelia faced brighten hearing those words.

The two talk for a while before, Amelia left the bookstore.

-[Amelia POV]-

Mr. Azrael is really kind to me. Although he doesn't seem to want me to go back and save those slaves, he only wants to ensure my safety.

Soon, I'll become stronger, and I'll do my best to repay him, even if... nevermind.

I left the bookstore with a book in my hand, feeling something special about it. I know this book will be meaningful because it's from Mr. Azrael, but I'm still curious about its contents.

However, I'll read it first before lending it to my friends.

As I walked, I decided to cover my face and imagine a different appearance. I can still see many marines around. I suppose they are still searching for Sabo, although it's futile now that the backup from the headquarters has arrived.

We haven't left the island yet, as I heard that Kizaru has arrived here and is probably after us. So we are waiting until Kizaru leaves, ensuring a safe departure.

After a few minutes of walking, I finally reached our temporary hiding spot in the forest. The devil fruit user from the headquarters has hidden us underground, making it impossible for them to find us here.

I walked aimlessly, waiting for them to let me inside. Suddenly, I noticed the ground bending in front of me, revealing a door-like hole. I stepped inside, and it closed behind me.

Inside, I saw many slaves on the floor, barely clothed and eating the food provided by the Revolutionary Army.

I walked towards a specific group, where Koala and Hack were present. It seems that Sabo is still in a meeting with the people from the headquarters.

"Hey, Koala," I greeted with a gesture, running towards her and giving her a hug.

"Where did you go? There's an admiral on this island right now. Even if you can change your appearance, that admiral might use observation haki and discover you!" Koala expressed her concern. I'm grateful to have a friend like her.

"Don't worry, I just went to get something on the surface," I reassured her.

"What did you get?"

"I'll show you tonight!"

For now, I wouldn't reveal the book to her. I wanted to test it first.

"Alright," Koala replied with excitement in her voice, which made me happy.

I knew she would appreciate this book from Mr. Azrael, as it would enhance our strengths!
