Chapter 20 Heading to grandline

Sirzechs nodded and accepted her greeting.

His demeanor was like that of the noble.

Hina couldn't believe that a noble would help mere navy officers and recruit.

She had met many noble before but she remembered what Vice Admiral Tsuru had said to her before.

"Noble and Great Noble, They were completely different from each other. Don't mix them together no matter what. The Great Noble are the real noble of this world. They are not under the world government and free from any influence of the world. If you find someone from the Great Noble Family, Don't forget to give them due respect."

She now understood the difference when she met the real noble.

"So, What can I do for you?"

Sirzechs asked Hina. He didn't know what she wanted to do when she came to find him.

"It may be rude of Hina to ask a great noble sir but can you help Hina by giving Hina permission to interview you about what happened that day?"

"Miss Hina means that, Miss Hina wants to know what happens when the Buggy pirate attacks here?"

Hina nodded. She wasn't ordered to investigate this matter but she was curious about what actually happened here.

"That's not a problem, I will tell you what happened."

Sirzechs told her almost everything that happened.

Hina felt even more respect toward him when she heard the entire thing that happened.

She didn't question the truthfulness of his speech because she already compare it to what she knew and everything fit perfectly.

"Hina thanks great noble sir for helping everyone. If the great noble sir wants any help please feel free to ask Hina."

Hina offered to help him and there was nothing for him to lose so he accepted her help.

The resupplying went smoothly and even faster than they had to do on their own.

"Everything is on the ship, great noble sir."

Sirzechs nodded and then said to Hina.

"You don't have to call me great noble sir anymore. Just call me my name. My name is Sirzechs D. Lucifer."

Sirzechs gave her permission to call him by his name. This could be considered an act of friendliness.

Hina felt happy that she got acknowledged by a great noble.

"Hina will do as Great–as Sirzechs-sama wishes."

Sirzechs smiled then nodded. It wasn't bad to have someone on the marine side as an ally.

"Can you give me your personal den den mushi? I want to contact you when I have business with the marine."

Hina nodded and then went toward her office to bring her den den mushi to him.

The marine never had contact with the inside of the great noble house before.

Hina was the first to ever get a chance to have personal contact with the heir of the great noble house.

"Then it's goodbye for now. Thank you for the help Hina-san."

Hina felt goosebumps when he was about to leave. It was as if something inside of her yearned for him. But she stopped it.

'What is happening? Why do I feel like something inside me is calling for him.'

"Don't worry we will meet again."

After she heard that. She felt something inside her calm down and she sighed in relief.

She then watched him go. She thought that what he said was for her but it was actually for the devil inside her.

"We will meet again…"

Sirzechs aboard the ship and he saw Robin smiled at him.

"What is it?"

"You are really a devil. You actually charm that poor woman's heart."

"It is not my intention but everything went well."

"Yes, Everything went well but Hana is really jealous though."

"Hana?"

"The devil inside of me. She didn't like talking but that didn't mean she didn't feel anything when her man was talking to the other."

"Oh…"

Sirzechs choose the best way in this kind of situation. He chose to run away.

"Komatsu cooked me some food. I want to eat delicious food."

Komatsu didn't know anything but he would just do what he was supposed to do.

He cooked delicious food for him and Robin.

They sailed again. This time their destination was inside the grandline.

Robin had everything they needed in order to venture deep inside the grandline.

It would be very hard to sail in the grandline without a proper navigator but everything could be fixed by using magic.

…

Without using Seastone-lined ships and alternative propulsion, the Grand Line can only be accessed at two points on the Red Line.

One was Reverse Mountain and the other was Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Of course, Sirzechs didn't like those who called themself Celestial dragons so he chose to go to Reverse Mountain.

"So we only need to sail through the reverse stream?"

Sirzechs saw the huge Reverse mountain. It would be very disastrous to go without preparation.

But Sirzechs could use magic in order to sail through the reverse stream safely.

He could even fly the ship with his magic.

And when they reached the reverse mountain.

They saw a giant whale hit its head on the mountain but the mountain was very strong.

So it was its head that was slowly destroyed by the impact instead.

"That is Laboon the island whale. We should not come close to him as he might swallow us if he was annoyed."

Robin told him about Laboon. There were many ships that came too close to him and then were swallowed.

They didn't die as there was someone who made sure that they would come out of the island whale.

Sirzechs nodded and Robin tried to sail the ship toward the reverse stream and not come too close to him but.

"I think it wasn't us that came close to him but it was him who came close to us. Should I kill him?"

Sirzechs asked. Even though the whale was big, he could kill him in one shot.

There's nothing that could withstand his power of destruction.
