Vol. 02 Ch. 17 – Place of Assemblage

Previously …

Baby-5: "All right, I'll be the personal maid of young master Arthur. Please teach me so that I can be useful and not be discarded by young master Arthur. "

…

Maria: "Isn't it better if you change your name, because I don't think the name Baby-5 is right for you? Don't tell me your siblings are named Baby 1 through Baby 4? "

Baby-5: "How does Mrs. Maria know the name of my brother and sister? I want to keep using this name and not change it?"

Arthur: "I don't mind if you don't want to change it, but why?"

Baby-5: "That is the only thing I got from my mother who raised me until now even though I was finally thrown out because I was of no use to her. So with this name, I can remember to be useful to young master Arthur who wants to invite me when no one cares about me. "

…

Finally, after nearly a year Arthur left home, now he returned to Mary Geoise. Before reaching Red Port, Arthur changed Robin's appearance into her adult version and changed Olvia's appearance to the dead crew doctor. When they arrived at Red Port, Baby-5 was very excited because she saw the condition of Red Port which was far different from her island.

Arthur: "Finally we arrived, after this, I can raise my training level."

------------------- ^_^ -------------------

After arriving at his home, Arthur invites Baby-5, Robin, and Olvia to tour his house. Baby-5 was very happy when he got the maid uniform from Sebas, although Maria had refused Baby-5 to wear a maid uniform, but in the end, she let Baby-5 but gave an additional red ribbon on top of her hair. Robin returned to her original body but Arthur always wondered if Robin in the anime always traveled without disguising and still can't be captured by marine. But as long as she doesn't come out of Arthur's house, she will be safe, and so will Olvia. But Olvia decided to change her hair color to purplish black. Robin after seeing the library of Arthur's house had many books that she had never read she immediately made the library her favorite place. But what Robin and Baby-5 can't forget is when they meet Arthur's grandfather, Saint Adam.

Saint Adam: "So the two of them who you choose, Arthur my grandson?" Saint Adam looked at Robin and Baby-5 from head to toe.

Arthur: "Robin, Baby-5, let me introduce to both of you, he is my grandpa."

Robin: "Nice to meet you, Saint Adam."

Baby-5: "Hello ..."

Saint Adam: "No need to be so formal, you might become a member of my family. I will always support the decision of my beloved grandchild, but are you able to follow Arthur on his journey? "

Robin: "Arthur told me that he would not start his journey before he was 18 years old, so in 6 years I will prove that I was able to walk beside Arthur."

Baby-5: "I too will certainly be useful to young master Arthur. Grandpa Sebas always trained me while on the ship on the way here. And grandpa Sebas also said I could be a chef or even a doctor for young master Arthur as long as I had the will. "

Saint Adam: "Hahaha ... I like the spirit of you two, you can call me grandpa like Arthur. But in the end, I will see if you really can follow your words. "

Baby-5+ Robin: "Of course I can."

Saint Adam: "And for you Arthur, even if you wear a mask and robe, sooner or later they will know your identity because of the devil fruit that I gave you. And I have to take you to the island where the Amenome family is training because you are still having a hard time dealing with enemies at a weak Kuzan level. "

Arthur: Ha? What do you expect of an 11-year-old child, old man?

Saint Adam: "You say something, Arthur?" Saint Adam felt that Arthur was not speaking well about him.

Arthur: "No, grandpa."

Maria: "Are you going to bring Arthur to that place? Isn't he still too young for the ritual? We better wait after he turns 18 like I used to. "

Saint Adam: "That would be very late for Arthur, I believe if he can."

Arthur: "But how long do I have to stay at that place you talk about?" Arthur looked at Robin and Baby-5, they both did not like the decision of Saint Adam.

Saint Adam: "It took me 30 months to get out of that place when my father took me there. And your mother needed 36 months because she was a little lazy to train her body. "

Baby-5: "Can I go with young master Arthur?"

Saint Adam: "Sorry, I don't think you can come along. Arthur must do this alone because he wants to fight the whole world. "

Arthur: "All right, grandpa. But give me time to get ready. "

Saint Adam: "Of course, we will leave after 2 weeks. So use your time as best you can. "

After hearing his grandfather, Arthur knew that he could not be satisfied just because he had won from Kuzan who was careless about the ability of his devil fruit. He decided to spend time with Robin and Baby-5. The three of them also did not forget to train routinely every morning. After their morning training they spent time in the library, Robin and Arthur taught Baby-5 to read and write. At the noon they did their respective exercises and met again at dinner. Their relationship is getting closer in 2 weeks because they are always together. Robin has lost the way of laughter taught by Saul and Baby-5 decreases her obsession even though Baby-5 still wants to serve Arthur.

Robin: "Arthur, don't you think I should study sea navigation? We don't have a navigator yet. "

Arthur: "I think you should focus more on gathering information but it doesn't hurt if you learn a little navigation knowledge."

Robin: "Tch ... it seems like you already have a plan for who your ship's navigator is. Who is she?" Robin is getting closer and understands about Arthur, she feels it's still too fast to share Arthur with other girls.

Arthur: "Ha, Ha, Ha." Arthur only can wry laugh. Although Arthur had a plan for who the navigator of the ship will, he was not sure of this plan.

Baby-5: "What about me, young master Arthur?"

Arthur: "How many times have I told you to just call me Arthur, never mind. If you can be a ship doctor then that is very good but being a chef is not bad either. "

Baby-5: "Then it's like my original plan and grandpa Sebas that I'm going to be a chef and doctor for young master Arthur."

Arthur: "Don't be too hard for yourself because focusing on just one profession won't be easy and you want to be a chef as well as a doctor."

Baby-5: "Don't worry, young master Arthur. After you return you will see my ability and before young master Arthur decides to sail I will have fulfilled the criteria of the two professions. "

Arthur: "All right, whatever your decision I will support you. I will give you a present after I return from training. " Arthur released the devil's fruit encyclopedia.

Baby-5: "This?" Baby-5 who received the book asked Arthur what he meant.

Arthur: "Find the devil fruit that suits your desires, after I return, you can tell the devil fruit what you want."

The two weeks given by his grandfather were up, Arthur said goodbye to Robin and Baby-5. Robin and Baby-5 made a statement that when the three of them met again they both would be stronger and could always walk beside Arthur. Olvia who saw the behavior of these three little children could only shake her head and smile, she only hoped for Robin's happiness. Maria still opposes her father who wants to take Arthur to practice in a place she hates, but she knows that Arthur will get stronger after returning from that place. After 3 weeks of traveling on the grand line - paradise, Arthur and his grandfather arrived on a small island that is not traversed by the log pose path of the reverse mountain.

Saint Adam: "Our ancestors named this training site as ..." Saint Adam paused as if in serious conversation, and Arthur was also intrigued by this place.

Arthur: "As ...?"

Saint Adam: "Tora no Ana of Ryozanpaku Island- the place of assemblage for the bold and ambitious."

Arthur: "Eh?"
