Chapter 17 : 2 Years Later....

Inside the tavern in East Blue, a beautiful 14 years old girl was eating while reading countless newspapers...

??? : AaaARrrggg... It's been two years... Where the hell is he!!!

??? : I know he is alive...

??? : Furthermore, I have to save Kuina as in a few months she will die...

At that moment a figure approached her and sat on her table as if nothing goes on...

??? : Leyla-chan are you still searching for him??

Leyla who was sitting and eating as at the same time reading the paper didn't even bother with him and kept reading...

??? : Leyla-chan don't ignore me...

Leyla : If you don't want me to ignore you then don't bother me...

??? : You're cruel Leyla-chan... I helped you come here at the fastest time possible from West Blue...

??? : I brought you here from that unnamed island that the marines had seen Nico Robin where only bandits could be spotted there...

Leyla : That's all i'm grateful for...

Leyla : Sai.. you helped me from there and took me in the Kano Country of the Chinjao Family and from there you brought me here... In the Shimotsuki village of East Blue...

Leyla : I battled with your teammates for 2 months beating one after another and gained the trip here...

Sai : Yeah but...

Leyla : No, buts... Your Captain had ordered that if i beat everyone in his ship he would send me here with a Guide and that's what you did...

Leyla : Staying behind like this against the orders of your Captain you will not have an easy time when you get back...

Sai : Yeah, but i still want to spent more time with you...!!

Leyla : Give me a break will you... You're annoying, I don't like you and never will, so pack up and go back...

Leyla : Our deal is done and that was it...

Leyla got up and took the papers before leaving from the tavern as she paid the waitress on the counter that was watching all the tables...

Sai : Sigh... another failure to find love...

Leyla walked outside toward a certain direction she remembers from the anime, it was the direction towards the dojo of Koushiro, Kuina's father...

She didn't remember exactly the location but after asking directions from a few villagers she finally managed to reach this place...

Kuina was 11 this year and in a few months from overdrafting her body she will die...

Leyla thought of challenging her to a sword fight with the trick of making her unable to practice for a few years in order to see the Doctor in drum island...

She could buy something from the store but the problem was no points at all... She didn't know why but her brother didn't do anything at all...

Even though from her status she could see he was alive based on the sharing fruit but he hasn't completed any missions at all...

Can it be he is wounded and hasn't recovered yet?? She even thought of a crazy situation of him having amnesia??

After half an hour she finally managed to reach the dojo... As she was standing outside she could hear many voices from inside especially kids that trained in the way of the sword...

Before she even tried to enter inside she heard a voice from behind her...

??? : Hello there, can i help you, young miss??

Leyla turned around and saw a tall man with black hair tied in his back with a long ponytail. He wore glasses with circular frames. He was dressed in a grey yukata that had two crossed swords on the left breast and a haori on top of it...
